The situation in Lingzhou City was very bad, the Turkic iron cavalry continued to charge towards Lingzhou City, and those heavy cavalry that were tied together by iron chains stubbornly withstood the bows and arrows of the Tang army, and brought dozens of Turkic crossbow arrows to a place two hundred steps away from the first earthen wall.

The Turks sacrificed hundreds of iron horsemen in exchange for these dozens of crossbow arrows.

On the walls of Lingzhou City, trebuchets were still throwing gunpowder bombs unhurriedly. The Turkic infantry had already begun to charge, and dozens of crossbow arrows put a great deal of pressure on those behind the first earthen wall.

The Turkic snare drums sounded again, and the crossbowmen began to suppress the first earthen wall with their crossbow arrows. And the Turkic soldiers who followed were already close to Lingzhou City. Because of the suppression of crossbow arrows, it was already difficult for the Tang army behind the first earthen wall to organize an effective attack.

The Turkic archers advanced one hundred and fifty paces from the first earthen wall. They all pulled their bows and released arrows, and the crossbow arrows behind them still kept shooting.

With the help of the suppression of the crossbow arrows, the archers moved on. Occasionally a powder bullet or two was thrown. Blow up a large area of Turkic soldiers, but soon they fill up again. They are like marching ants in the desert, crazy and do not spare their lives at all.

This time, Qi Bo'er directly invested nearly 5,000 troops, which was extremely dangerous for Cheng Chumo and them. Fortunately, there were also trebuchets that kept throwing explosive packs, which allowed the archers to stop when they were sixty paces forward.

Soon after the second line of defense, a large number of Don troops appeared. One by one, the volts were completely erected and began to shoot at the Turkic archers.

"The Turkic offensive is becoming more and more fierce, if they clear the way for the iron cavalry to attack. At that time, our first earthen wall will probably not last long. On the city wall, Sun Yufu looked at the Turkic soldiers who kept attacking with a cold face, and said in a somewhat solemn tone.

The Turkic attack seemed violent, but it was extremely detailed, and it was not the kind of attack that was taken lightly. Qi Bo'er's idea was very simple, as long as the cavalry could rush to the city of Lingzhou, then all the crossbow arrows of the Tang army would be useless.

If it weren't for the strange gunpowder bombs and the explosives dropped by the trebuchet, the beggar would have definitely sent a large army to attack the city by now.

That thing is too domineering, and it is not like a bow and arrow or something, whether it is far or close, that thing has this great lethality.

A young man roared and rushed from the direction of Lingzhou City, and the young man looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. The body also looks relatively weak, but when riding on a horse, it is extremely fast.

Especially in such a crowded place, it is like lightning to move left and right.

"Uncle Beggar, I found it." The young man's face was dusty, but he was holding a black piece of iron in his hand, but it was the gunpowder bullet.

The young man rode his horse without slowing down, and rushed directly to the place ten steps in front of the beggar, and with his speed, he would definitely crash into the beggar in less than two breaths.

But what is surprising is that there is no one in the Turkic camp to stop them. And just when the war horse was about to hit the beggar Bo'er, I saw the young man's legs clamp the war horse under his crotch, and then the whole body slanted. The war horse neighed, and also moved sideways, and after a few snorts, it stood firmly on the side of the beggar.

This is the legendary Mashaladi!

At this time, the young man had already jumped off the war horse and stood in front of him.

Such a short distance to strangle the war horse running at full speed, and control it so exquisitely, I have to say that this young man is powerful.

"Qingxiao's riding skills are worthy of being the first person in my Geshu tribe, if you grow up a little more, I will definitely make you my general." Beggar took care of the young man's clothes with some pampering, and said with a satisfied face.

Qing Xiao listened to Ge Shuming's words, and also smiled, and then handed over the things in his hand.

It was a powder bullet with a completely burned lead, but for some unknown reason, it didn't explode in the end.

In order to get this powder bullet, the young man crossed shoulders with death several times. Only he can still have the ability to find gunpowder shells that have not exploded in this environment.

"Young man has worked hard, go and apply medicine to your war horse." Beggar looked at the horse bleeding from one leg and smiled.

was told by Beggar Bo'er, and the young man's face was obviously a little embarrassed. Earlier, when he saw that a powder bullet did not explode, he thought it was safe. But when he got closer, the thing suddenly exploded. If it weren't for him hiding quickly, he probably wouldn't know what the end would be like.

"It's called Green Slave." The young man pouted and said with some gagged breath.

The beggar smiled at the young man and touched the war horse named Qingnu. Qing Xiao and Qing Nu are two existences that are originally one.

The war horse is an orthodox Turkic Helan BMW, the horse bones of the Qingnu are thick, the hyena is broad, the eyes are like hanging mirrors, and the head is like a side brick.

It can be said that the legs are like a deer and the legs are round, and the horse's neck is thinner than that of a phoenix. Under its posterior bridge, the bones rise to become peaks, and between the side sheaths, the long tendons are dense and like petals. The ear root Tiele, the cedar wood is difficult to square, the tail is Goryeo, the digging brick is not intended, and the abdomen is flat and small. Even if it was a continuous wild run, the green slave would not pant too much.

In fact, the most striking thing is that the green slave did not have a horse harness on him. Whether it is a horse bit, a saddle, or a horse pedal, there is no one on the young slave.

The young man trained the young slave into a real war horse, because only a real war horse would be so proud and unrestrained. But because there is no horse harness, it is extremely complicated to control. It's just that for young people, this has no effect at all.

The young man also reached out and touched his own green slave, and said proudly: "The young slave and I have grown up since childhood. No one but me and the Khan has been able to touch him. ”

The beggar reached out and touched the young man's head again, and asked him to hurry down.

After sending the young man away, Beggar shook his head and looked at the gunpowder bullet in his hand. It was only the size of two fists, with various grooves in its round iron shell. This is so that when the gunpowder explodes, it can easily break through the iron shell.

Moreover, the shell is made of pig iron with a high carbon content, so it is relatively brittle. With a slight force, the beggar plucked the gunpowder bullet open. He looked at the contents in disbelief, thinking that it would be something terrifying, but he never thought it would be a black mass. There was honey in it, and he smelled it instantly, but honey has so much power?

After watching it for a while, he still didn't have a clue, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Beggar directly threw out the gunpowder bullet.

Wolves, fearless!

The Turkic soldiers who waved their hands of 10,000 attacked again, and the three teams of the middle army, the left flank, and the right flank pressed towards Lingzhou City.

On the city wall, Sun Yufu's face was obviously a little gloomy, and the first earthen wall defense line was now under the fire of the Turkic crossbow arrows, and it was difficult to play a role anymore.

Except for the explosive packs that were still being thrown on the city walls, the rest was basically unable to have any effect on the Turkic army.

There are too many Turks, so they don't dare to fight hard at all. It's hard to imagine how they would have dealt with 50,000 Turkic soldiers without gunpowder.

A deafening shout was heard, and a total of 10,000 Turkic soldiers from three routes rushed forward again. They trampled on the corpses on the ground and lunged forward as if they were dying.

The Tang army behind the first earthen wall was also red-eyed. Ignoring the Turkic crossbow arrows, he began to shoot bows and arrows non-stop.

On the city wall, Fu Yuanyu kept shooting, and explosives bags kept throwing at the Turkic camp.

Tieleter was a Turkic infantryman, and for him, who had countless battlefield experience, he knew that he should charge after the Tang army's three rounds of bows and arrows.

The khan gave a death order, only to advance and not to retreat, even if he used corpses to break through the first earthen wall of the Tang army.

Overhead, there was the sound of arrows firing, and Tieretr immediately lowered his body and began to count the rounds of the bow and arrows. As soon as the three rounds of bows and arrows passed, the Tang army had to pause for a few breaths.

Now is the time!

Tieleter grabbed a dead Turkic soldier and stood in front of him.

Then he began to run forward frantically, and he was very fast. Fifty paces away in an instant, he saw the panicked Tang army behind the earthen wall.

A sinister smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, and Tieleter threw the Turkic corpse in his hand, and then jumped into it himself. His appearance immediately caused a commotion in the Tang army behind the earthen wall, and taking advantage of this opportunity, a large number of Turkic soldiers also rushed in.

Cheng Shi Mo sighed on the city wall, and the Turks finally took the first earthen wall at the cost of more than 3,000 people.

"Let the soldiers retreat to the second line of defense." Cheng Chumo frowned and said to Sun Yufu on the side.

Soon the gong sounded for the retreat, and the Tang army, which was still fighting with the Turks, soon ran to the rear.

Tieletel did not continue the pursuit, they had to destroy this first earthen wall first, otherwise their Turkic iron cavalry would not have attacked.

The Tang army retreated to the second earthen wall, and began to shoot non-stop, and the beggar who was far behind the army also smiled at this time.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of trebuchets were pulled by the war horses and began to run towards Lingzhou City. After taking the first earthen wall, the Turks completely entered within two hundred steps of Lingzhou City.

At this time, the trebuchet can also throw boulders at Lingzhou City, as long as the Tang Army's trebuchets are destroyed, then Lingzhou City will basically lose its ability to defend.

War horses galloped, wolf smoke billowed out, and the Turkic soldiers all over the sky attacked again.

On the city wall of Lingzhou, Cheng Chumo clenched his hands, and the faces of Li Duwei and Sun Yufu beside him were very ugly.

They all knew that if it weren't for the gunpowder shells, the Turks would have already begun to attack the city by this time. But now, if the second earthen wall is breached again, once the Turkic soldiers get close to the Lingzhou city wall fifty paces. Gunpowder shells will no longer dare to be used lightly, and if they blow up the city walls, it will be more than worth the loss.

"The order goes down, and from now on, all the soldiers will climb the city wall and prepare for battle. In addition, let the logistics start to light a fire and cook, divide the soldiers into three groups, and take turns to start resting. ”

Ever since he thought he had killed Qin Ze, Cui Shi had become much more honest. He also knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, so he didn't mix in the matter of resisting the Turks.

Regarding his laissez-faire attitude, Cheng Chumo and the others naturally raised their hands in approval. So now all the soldiers in Lingzhou City have been handed over to Cheng Chumo to command.

As for gunpowder bullets, they are still at the disposal of Cheng Huailiang. It can be said that whether the Cheng family wants to become famous in the world again, or whether they want to return with a feather, it depends on the battle of Lingzhou City!
