Section 914 Night talk about watching fire
The Don army, advancing along the streets, met stubborn resistance.
The big cannibals desperately brandished all kinds of weapons to kill the Tang army, and the Tang army opened the way with light cavalry, and withdrew when encountered, and handed over to the infantry to clear out.
The infantry was organized into hundred-strong squads, with heavy infantry on the outside and light infantry, archers, panzergrenadiers, medics, and officers inside, and they marched along the streets in a circular defense.
Battles spread through the city, flames burned in the city, smoke rose from place to place, and the smell of death filled the city.
The Tang soldiers trampled on the corpses of the Great Cannibals and trampled through the bloodied streets, trying to occupy the main streets and then attack the important monasteries, which were the centers of resistance of the Great Cannibals.
Although the Great Cannibals were inferior to the Don Army in almost everything, their determination to resist and their will to fight were amazing!
They used the lit barricades to delay the attack of the Don army, and from the roof of the roof shot a branch of cold arrows, and from the window threw stones and earthen "Molotov cocktail" oil bottles, which was also their biggest credential!
One by one, the "Molotov cocktails" with cigarettes flew into the Tang army group, and it was a nightmare for people to burn on the human body!
Therefore, the Tang army is quite vigilant, as soon as he sees something flying, he uses a shield or weapon to block it, and he is also careful not to get it on the brothers' bodies, if his body is on fire, immediately strip and undress to avoid further damage, and there are not many unlucky ghosts who are generally smashed on the head and exploded.
Everyone is improving, the big cannibals know how to use oil bottles to attack, and the Tang army invented the method of rapid undressing, modifying the armor, and taking off all the burning armor as soon as possible.
The medics did everything to save the wounded, and the Tang army, armed with a crossbow with a scope, was ready to deliver a fatal blow to the big cannibal!
In the past, when there was no crossbow, the bow and arrow were not necessarily accurate, and the enemy was in a high place, condescending, and attacked down one by one.
Now with this kind of crossbow, as long as the lens is set on the object, the chance of hitting is eight/nine and ten, so the big cannibal learned to shoot an arrow to change places after paying the price of blood,
The sound of killing shook the sky, the shouts were repeated, the Tang army advanced steadily, and killed people when they saw them!
They occupied street after street, and soon, the main street was occupied by the Don army.
Then they occupied the surrounding houses one by one, serving as support points for defense.
At night, the city of Damascus was still ablaze, and the Tang people lit fires in the streets, while they retreated into the darkness, and of course there were some daring men in heavy armor roasting and eating by the campfire, and sometimes the whistle of bows and arrows could be heard.
From time to time there were screams at night, and I don't know if the Tang people touched the camp of the big cannibals or were touched by the big cannibals.
……
Salicia Hill.
There were a number of big cannibals dead on the periphery, and in the daytime rebellion, I heard that this was the settlement of the Tang people, and all of them were attacked.
Concerned about the face of the Tang people, the Tang army repelled the attack of the big cannibals, and then attacked the streets fiercely.
After nightfall, the place is brightly lit, the patrols are constantly coming and going, there are lurking posts, swimming posts, etc., the defense is very tight, as long as the big cannibal who enters, it is a death!
Even if they enter this area, they will be disappointed.
It is impossible for the Don people to put their own head in danger!
In addition to the army, there are only two idlers here... Yan Shigu, a famous painter in the army, is painting, and there is also a general Ling Huxiao.
Yan Shigu, the former right minister Yan Liben (that is, the prime minister of Danqing) is also a member of the clan, and he has the true biography of Yan Liben and is good at painting.
Yan Liben was kind to Wei Xi, Yan Shigu was very well taken care of by Wei Xi, tired of protecting the capital, and there was no shortage of silver fields for the title, so he painted with his heart and became a generation of painting masters, and his masterpieces were extremely popular, and his reputation was directly after the ancestor Yan Liben.
He is currently working on "Watching the Night Fire in Damascus", which depicts the unquiet night scene of the city of Damascus.
As for Ling Huxiao, he is the military commander who suppressed the Great Cannibal Rebellion this time!
He gave orders, and the ministries did as ordered, and went well, and handed over the affairs to the general staff, and went down at leisure... The advantage of the division of labor in the army is this, there is no need to let the main general be busy every day.
He also had a place to live in the hills of Salitia, and at night he rested in his place, found Yan Shigu, called for some food, made tea, and drank night tea, and watched Yan Shigu smear there, which was very pleasant.
The two are acquaintances, Ling Huxiao has served in the Imperial Forest Army in the capital for a long time, and Yan Shigu has also stayed in the capital for a long time
The lights were lit up at the foot of the mountain, and the flames rose in the streets, and in some places there was a fire in the sky, and I don't know what was lit.
The sound of artillery at night, even on the hill on the outskirts of the city, smelled the smell of gunpowder... For places where resistance was fierce, the Tang army deliberately gave up, and then used flying thunder artillery to bombard the area, and the explosions were incessant, almost not stopping for a moment.
"It's hell!" Yan Shigu stopped working, drank tea with Ling Huxiao, and said with emotion.
"The religion of the Great Cannibal is very powerful!" Linghu smiled at the military discussion, listened to the general staff convey the religious tricks of the big cannibals, and demanded that the Tang people must not take it lightly, let alone participate in it.
If you find one, punish one severely!
Ling Huxiao poured a cup of hot tea into his throat, cleared his throat and said, "The prince said, the religion of cannibalism, we can't assimilate!" ”
Yan Shigu was shocked and said, "Did the prince really say that? ”
"Yes!"
Yan Shigu knew the propaganda of the Tang army, boasting that the Tang people's ability to conquer is unparalleled in the world, the cultural connotation is incomparably rich, and everywhere they go, they actively develop the economy, care about the people's welfare, suppress hostile elements, and have a strong army as a guarantee.
The public propaganda outside is that Wei Xi is omnipotent, like a god descending, even he admits that he can't handle the religion of cannibalism, and is willing to bow down!
"No wonder!" Yan Shigu understood why the Tang army did not engage in any strategy of buying the hearts of the people, but came by force.
"They are different from other religions, like Zoroastrianism, and there is not much danger, their... The ability to contag "is not strong!" Ling Hu shook his head with a smile and said, "And the religion of the great cannibal is really powerful!" Fortunately, our Tang people's resistance is still very strong, as long as we adhere to the prince's policy, there is no problem. ”
"So, education and culture are very important!" Ling Huxiao patted Yan Shigu's shoulder in a friendly manner and said, "Why do the princes and princesses guarantee the funds for education even if they are poor, and spare no effort to support your brother!" ”
"They took us to the front line to fight to the death, and they absolutely did not allow our heart's work
He pointed to the distance and said, "Day and night, you work a little harder, draw the scene!" ”
"Understood!" Yan Shigu knew that Ling Hu Xiao was by no means untargeted, and he was determined to work harder, let alone be afraid of death, put on armor and go into battle, leaving more heirloom paintings.
