Chapter 418: A small battle under the city
Gu Duoer was completely defenseless, Shi Mutang even showed weakness, and even offered a "tribute", where would he have thought that this was a trap?
The feathered arrows in the city shot like flying locusts, and Gudor screamed, but he was not ambiguous, and immediately lay on the saddle to avoid the sneak attack of the dark arrows!
After more than a dozen sounds, the war horse under him was shot into a hedgehog and fell to the ground. And Gudor's back and legs were also hit by a few arrows, although it did not kill him, but he was hit by arrows, and even people and horses fell to the ground, but the Turkic soldiers behind were shocked, and they rushed up with screams, trying to snatch him back!
Shi Mutang saw it really in the city, and sneered: "People die for money, and birds die for food." The greed is so heavy, and he still wants to dominate the grassland, but it's just a horse! ”
The Tang soldiers in the city opened their bows and arrows without mercy. The Turkic soldiers under the city lay down under the first round of arrow rain, and all the Turkic soldiers who smashed the stone monument were shot to death, and the dozens of Gudor's protectors were also put down in half!
The Turkic soldiers are very good at riding and shooting, and they are not very afraid of the enemy's sudden release of arrows, and everyone has a shield right away, even if they can't protect the horse, but they can protect their own vital parts!
But because Bone Dorr was suddenly hit by an arrow and fell, these guards didn't have time to resist the rain of arrows, and desperately begged Bone Dor, but after the porphyr, the remaining guards were put down by a dozen or so!
Shi Mutang raised his hand and said, "Stop!" ”
Only then did Tang Bing retract his bow and withdraw his arrows, and no longer shoot downward!
The Turkic soldiers who were out of range shouted in unison when they saw that the Tang soldiers had stopped attacking, and a fierce team of warriors rushed up on horseback, trying to recapture Gudor. At this time, Bone Dor's was lying in the pile of dead corpses, with a few feather arrows stuck in his back, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
Shi Mutang was not in a hurry, he saw that this group of warriors rushed to Gudor, and said loudly: "Shoot the horse!" ”
Tang Bing fired his bow and arrows again, and shot at the war horses of the Turkic warriors!
Although this team of Turkic warriors is extremely brave, they can't stand the bow and arrow of the Tang Army, and hundreds of archers can deal with dozens of their war horses, not to mention that the war horses are fleshy, even if they are iron, I am afraid that they will collapse all over the body!
Seeing this group of Turkic warriors fall off their horses, Smudtang said loudly: "Don't shoot Bone Dore, save his life!" ”
When the Tang soldiers released their arrows, they immediately became cautious, avoided the surroundings of Gudor, and only shot the Turkic warriors!
In the blink of an eye, all the Turkic warriors were killed. Next to the ox cart under the city, there are more than 200 corpses lying horizontally, with white feathers everywhere! The blood of the Turkic warriors stained the snow red, and on the purple-red ground, there was a white feather, and the scene was tragic!
Shi Mutang waved his hand and asked the Tang soldiers to stop attacking, and calm returned to the city. The Turkic soldiers didn't know if the leader was killed in battle, but no one stepped forward to help, they all watched ahead, and the city was also silent!
In the distance, on top of a big tree, Hou Ling stood high on the branch of the big tree, looking at the city gate. He thought to himself: "Obediently, really ruthless, the defenders of the city seem to know the Turkic way of fighting very well, and they actually shot down the Great Commander of the King of Western Hacha Khan!" However, it is strange why the Turks did not come forward to retrieve the corpse? ”
Hou Ling thought that Gudor had been shot to death, and Shi Mutang thought so too. He turned around and said angrily to the general, "Didn't I tell you not to shoot the bone Dore!" ”
The generals have always been afraid of Shi Mutang, and when they heard Lord Shi's reprimand, they all stubbornly said: "My lord, under the chaotic arrows, you can't hit every shot, and you can't accidentally hurt the bones, and you can't blame the children!" ”
How could Shi Mutang not know this truth, but he was angry in his heart, and he would inevitably scold his subordinates!
After a little half a cup of tea, the Turkic soldiers did not move again, and they did not know what they were waiting for. Suddenly, a young Turkic general shouted, and after a few shouts, a group of Turkic soldiers dismounted and held shields, and slowly walked towards the city gate!
Shi Mutang snorted and said: "If Gudor doesn't die, the Turkic soldiers will not dare to attack the city, but they must send a team of warriors to come up and snatch him back, we just need to shoot these warriors to death one by one, how easy it is, such a simple truth, don't you all understand!" ”
The generals of the Tang Army hurriedly said: "The subordinates were confused just now, thanks to the reminder of the adults!" ”
The trick used by Smudtang is also often used on the modern battlefield, the sniper first wounds an enemy soldier, and then hides in the shadows, waiting for the enemy to come up to rescue the injured enemy soldiers, and then kills the enemy soldiers who come up to save people one by one, but never kills the injured one, just let him cry out for help and attract more enemy soldiers, this trick is very good, ancient and modern!
The shield-wielding Turks below slowly moved into range!
Smudtang waved his hand at the soldiers behind the giant crossbow, and the soldiers immediately released their crossbows! The long arrows used by this giant crossbow were a foot long, and in the era of cold weapons, its power was second only to that of trebuchets, and the shield hand could not resist it!
The long arrow shot towards the city with a strong wind, and in the middle of the shield array of the Turkic soldiers, the huge momentum directly tore open the shield array! The Turkic soldiers panicked a little, hundreds of big bows on the city immediately released arrows, blood splashed, and after a few rounds, all the Turkic soldiers with shields were killed!
The young Turkic general who was pressing the formation behind him was in a hurry, and shouted again, and several groups of Turkic soldiers came out, one team continued to grab Gudor, while the other teams carried the ladder and marched to other positions on the city wall. It seems that he wants to pretend to attack the city and distract Tang Bing's attention, but the real goal is to take back Gudor!
Seeing this, Shi Mutang snorted and said, "Don't pay attention to those who carry the ladder, they can't attack, or shoot those who come to save Gudor!" ”
Tang Jun listened to the order and did as it was ordered. Sure enough, as Smudtang said, after the rain of arrows, some of the Turkic soldiers who came to the rescue were shot over, and the other part fled. Obviously, the Turkic soldiers who came this time were not elite enough!
And those who carried the ladder, seeing that the rescue at the gate of the city failed, they also hesitated, and when they saw the bows and arrows of the Tang soldiers aimed at them, they shouted in unison, threw down the ladder, and fled back to the brigade!
Shi Mutang finally showed a smile on his face and said, "The rabble, the people of the small tribe just can't do it, I haven't seen a big formation!" ”
After the Turkic soldiers fled back, two Turkic generals in the battle quarreled, one was the young Turkic general, and the other was a bearded Turkic general.
Although they were far away and couldn't hear what they were shouting, looking at their posture, it seemed that the young general insisted on attacking, and the bearded general was stopping. The two of them quarreled fiercely, and their subordinates also drew their swords and glared at each other angrily!
Hou Ling, who was on the big tree, looked at it from a distance and said with a smile: "This is infighting, maybe it's too fast!" ”
And Shi Mutang in the city also smiled and said, "It's good to quarrel, it's good to have infighting!" Listen, someone will come up to save Bone Dor, don't be hard for them anymore, let them snatch Bone Dol back! ”
The generals didn't understand, and some said, "My lord, is it difficult to let Gu Dol go back?" Then they won't be able to fight among themselves! ”
Shi Mutang pressed his hand on the battlements and said: "Those two people must be people who are likely to inherit the throne of Khan, if they don't let Gu Duoer go back, they will work hard with us together, and the siege of the city will not be finished." But let Bone Dorr go back, and seeing his half-dead appearance, he was powerless to restrain the two of them. The Turks respect the strong, and when they find that the leader is weak, they will have more ideas! ”
Turning his head, he smiled at the generals and said: "The real infighting that uses the knife happened on the way back to the army, not under this city, are you stupid to be a Turkic soldier, before my Tang army, draw your sword and cut each other!" ”
The generals thought about it, and felt that this was the case, and it should be the case, the Lord Thorn in front of him was a Turkic, could he still not understand the Turks!
After the two Turkic generals under the city quarreled, the bearded general roared wildly, pushed the young general away, and walked towards the city gate with a shield in his left hand and a broadsword in his right. Along the way, the Turkic soldiers tried to pull him, but they were all kicked away by him, and some of the Turkic soldiers wanted to follow him, but they were also drunk back by him!
The bearded general was alone, and he strode towards Bone Dor!
Tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers looked at him, and suddenly shouted in unison: "Chigeba, Chigeba!" ”
Chigeba is the name of this bearded general, he is the younger brother of Gu Duoer, and the young general is the son of Gu Duoer, named Toga!
The methods of inheriting the ancestral inheritance of the Turks are different from those of the Central Plains, which pay attention to the inheritance of the father's business and the son's inheritance, while the Turks are the elder brother and the younger brother. That is to say, Gudor is dead, and Toga cannot inherit the throne of Khan, but is inherited by Chigeba!
Guduoer was shot down by Shi Mutang's arrow, Chigeba was happy in his heart, this is really called his brother raising sheep, he eats meat, and as soon as the Xihacha Department expanded, his brother died, and the cheap fell on his head, so he didn't want to save his brother. As soon as Gudor dies, won't he become the king of Khan!
But Toga doesn't do it, as soon as his father Khan dies, such a big tribe will become an uncle's, he won't get anything, if his father Khan doesn't die, then he still has hope, so he has to save!
Under the pretext that he could not sacrifice the lives of the warriors in vain, Chigeba said that he wanted to slow down and negotiate with Shi Mutang first, but he refused to do so, and after such a delay, his father Khan was hit by several arrows and fell in the snow.
How can there be good words in a quarrel, and Toga scolded Chigeba for wanting to murder his father Khan and usurp the throne. In front of everyone's eyes, how could Chigeba stand such words, his reputation stinks, even if Guduoer dies, I am afraid that the sweat position will not fall on his head. In a fit of rage, in order to show his bravery, he went out alone to save Bone Dor!
Chigeba thought to himself: "My brother must be dead, even if he doesn't die, it doesn't matter, when I save him, I put some dirt in his wounds, he still has to die, and I can inherit the throne!" ”
Toga didn't stop Chigeba, he thought to himself: "Uncle will definitely take the opportunity to kill my father Khan, but the Tang army will not let him go, and will shoot him to death, then I can inherit the throne!" ”
Shi Mutang in the city thought in his heart: "Want to be a hero? Okay, then let you do it, a puppet is a puppet! ”
