That is, in the blink of an eye, thick black smoke rose from the field, and a huge wave of qi, centered on fifteen trebuchets, spread to the periphery, so that all the surrounding soldiers were killed on the spot, some were blown in two, and some flew into the air.

In short, the feeling is shocking, and it cannot be described in words.

Xue Dingshan and Xue Yong, still discussing how to rush into the city and how to defeat the enemy, heard the movement and looked up, and found that the fifteen trebuchets were gone.

When I looked at it again, the place where the trebuchet had been placed was all on fire, and the soldiers were lying on the ground screaming...

"It's... What just happened? ”

Xue Dingshan's face was surprised.

Xue Yong exclaimed: "No... I don't know, this... Fifteen trebuchets, how did they disappear in an instant? ”

"Is this the one... A powerful weapon? Suddenly, Xue Dingshan remembered what Li Shimin told him before leaving.

In the first two years, Li Shimin had already found out that Xiliang had an extremely powerful weapon, but Dan didn't know what this weapon was due to the strict blockade of Xiliang's news.

But what is certain is that this thing does exist, and Li Heng and Zhou Gandang have also been defeated.

After learning the news, Li Shimin specially explained to Xue Dingshan that he must take strict precautions.

Seeing that the 5,000 siege troops were approaching the tower...

Luo Yi ordered: "Fight!" ”

"No."

Wu Qing and Dong Fan conveyed the order.

At this time, the siege force of the Tang army had crossed the moat and was less than 100 meters away from the city tower, and this position was extremely dangerous, not only the enemy was within its attack range, but also its own side was within the enemy's attack range.

"Hit!"

As Wu Qing and Dong Fan shouted, hundreds of grenades were thrown towards the moat, where more than a thousand soldiers were preparing to shoot arrows at the city tower.

At the same time, hundreds of clay pots15 were thrown towards the five siege towers and countless ladders.

In addition to these, the remaining soldiers defending the city, all holding muskets in their hands, fired fiercely at the soldiers running down the city.

The moment the battle began, there was still an earth-shattering loud noise, and black and white smoke rose everywhere.

In an instant, the thousand archers by the moat were gone, and the five siege towers all shrank and were blown to pieces. Originally, there were more than 50 ladders, but after this theory, only a few remained.

That's not all, there were originally more than 5,000 people involved in the siege, but in just a few minutes, half of the 5,000 people were wiped out in this round of bombing and shooting!

When I looked further into the battlefield, there were not many people standing anymore, and all the siege equipment was destroyed.

Seeing this scene, Xue Dingshan and Xue Yong were stupid again!

"This...! How is this possible?! Xue Yong's eyes widened in shock.

Xue Dingshan took a deep breath and hurriedly ordered: "Order, withdraw the troops!" ”

Woo woo woo ....

The horn of withdrawal sounded, and the soldiers who were still alive in front hurriedly retreated.

But before leaving, they were bombarded again, and only a few hundred fled the battlefield.

Seeing this, Xue Dingshan and Xue Yong opened their mouths wide in fright, and they couldn't believe it anyway. The elite siege troops of 5,000 people went out with high morale, but in an instant, less than 500 people returned, and they were all injured to varying degrees.

"Marshal, the last general suggests that it is better to withdraw the troops for the time being."

"Okay, withdraw the troops!"

After Xue Dingshan thought about it, with a wave of his hand, the 200,000 army slowly retreated.

On the city tower, Luo Tong glanced at Luo Yi and wanted to ask for his life to pursue, but when he thought of the poor Kou Mo chasing after him, he finally didn't speak.

Wu Qing walked over with a smile: "Lord, the enemy has retreated." ”

Luo Yi nodded and said, "It's a good job, you have to fight like this!" ”

For the Wolf Tooth Army, this kind of battle, there is no difficulty at all, there is such a high city tower, there are wall piers to block, as well as grenades, clay pots, and powerful artillery regiments, a full hundred Shenwei cannons, this is not a joke, once the attack is in full swing, let alone a mere 5,000 siege troops, even if it is 50,000, the opponent can fight without the power to fight back.

Although it is worth rejoicing to achieve such a victory, Wu Qing and Dong Fan are not too out of shape, especially Wu Qing, who has fought with Li Heng before, and defeated an army of 50,000 with only a thousand people... No, it should be 150,000, and now it is a matter of course to cooperate with the second regiment and the artillery regiment to destroy the enemy's 5,000 people.

Wu Qing asked: "Lord, the enemy has withdrawn, if we catch up, we will definitely be able to expand the results of the battle." ”

"Don't chase!"

Luo Yi said resolutely: "Our task is to garrison, and after a few days, the soldiers and horses from all over Xiliang will arrive, and then launch a counterattack." ”

*************

After Xue Dingshan went back, he returned to the Chinese army's big tent angrily.

As soon as he entered the account, he saw a heroic woman, dressed in armor and holding a sword, he walked over and said with a smile: "Pear Blossom, where did you find this armor?" ”

It was his wife, named Fan Lihua!

This is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and in history, she is extremely famous.

Historically, she was a Tang Dynasty girl who dared to love and hate, and was a generalissimo with strong martial arts, vast magical powers, and all-round talents in civil and military affairs. She became a household name because of the story of pacifying the northwest border chaos and fighting on the battlefield with Xue Ding Mountain, and had a far-reaching influence in later generations.

If Luo Yi was here, he would definitely be amazed by her beauty, especially after the armor on the ship, which added a bit of heroism.

Fan Lihua stood up, turned around, and asked, "Ding Shan, how about looking at my clothes?" ”

"It's good." Xue Dingshan smiled, sat down in his seat, and took a sip of tea.

"What's wrong with you? Is it because the war is not going well? Fan Lihua asked.

Xue Dingshan hesitated, and finally told the battle process of Qinglong Pass and Li Shimin's entrustment.

After listening, Fan Lihua was surprised: "There is such a powerful weapon in the world? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"Don't talk about you, I haven't heard of it." Xue Dingshan said: "That thing is indeed powerful, our five thousand siege soldiers didn't even have a chance to react, as soon as they went up, they were eaten more than half, the trebuchet was gone, the siege tower was gone, and even the ladder was blown up." ”

Fan Lihua was silent for a while, and said: "It's not good, if the enemy comes to attack at this time, won't my army be completely finished?" ”

"I'm worried, too." Xue Dingshan said: "However, the emperor ordered me to capture Xiliang, and I can't withdraw my troops without authorization." ”

"Husband, if you don't withdraw, you have to withdraw, and if you don't withdraw, it's too late."

Fan Lihua dragged him up and said, "Husband, hurry up and order, retreat to Luyang, Yunjin, Qinguan and other cities to garrison, and report the situation here to the emperor." ”

Xue Dingshan said: "However, they have such powerful weapons, what if they blow up our city gates?" ”

Fan Lihua said: "No matter how strong the city gate is, it is better than this walled gate, right?" ”

"I'll teach you a formation later, but you can block them for a while, you can rest assured, they don't dare to come."

"Oh? What kind of formation? ”

Fan Lihua said mysteriously: "Wait a minute, you will know, the top priority now is to get out of here, don't be caught up by their iron horses, don't forget, under Luo Tong's command, there are 50,000 iron horses." ”

"Okay, I'll give the order."

Xue Dingshan did not hesitate, got up and walked out of the tent.
