'Report, Khan, a small army of the Tang army is heading towards our city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info’
Jieli Khan was taken aback and asked.
'How many people there are, and who is the commander of the army?' ’
'A team of about 2,000 people, the commander does not know him, but only one of them is the third son of the Tang Emperor, Li Ke. ’
Jieli Khan was relieved when he heard that there were only two thousand people, and there was also a prince, I don't know if the emperor of the Li family would be nervous if he caught this prince, and thought about issuing an order.
'If the soldiers don't come to the country, he dares to mention that the lone army is here? The order went down to confirm that there was no ambush out of the city to meet the enemy. ’
'Yes. ’
Qian Huan just came to test the strength of Zhanxiang City this time, and looking at the gate of Zhanxiang City, Wang Han's body was gone. At this time, the walls of Zhanxiang were stained with Turkic soldiers.
Li Ge couldn't help but shout with a bullhorn at first.
'Jieli Lao'er, if you insult my Tang Dynasty soldiers, you deserve death, and you should quickly sacrifice your head to save your Turkic people from death. ’
The walls also replied, but the voice of the Khan of Jieli.
'Li family child, I captured you today to capture your Li family emperor. ’
As he spoke, the arrow shot directly at Li Ke, and Li Ke waved his sword to block it. Shouting.
'Shameless second brother, today I, Li Ke, only bring 2,000 people to destroy your Zhanxiang City, and quickly get out to fight. ’
For Li Ke's shameless scolding, Jieli Khan had already burst out, and when the returning spies said that there were only 2,000 people, Jieli Khan couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
'Go out of the city to meet the enemy and destroy this Li family child. ’
Li Ke looked at the open city gate and said solemnly.
'Here, Chongyi, it's up to you. ’
Li Chongyi nodded and shouted.
'All archers, prepare the eight-ox crossbow for Lao Tzu. Wait for the order. ’
Zhan Xiangcheng rushed out of a team of about 5,000 people, gathered at the city gate, and rushed towards Qian Huan. The war horse galloped and was imposing. A pair of war horses can crush the momentum of the Tang army in the past.
Li Chongyi looked at the Turkic war horses approaching little by little, his hands trembled a little, Qian Huan was also a little nervous standing at the end, watching the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops on TV was not as majestic as the team of less than 10,000 people in front of him.
Li Chongyi just listened to the first war horse of the Turks, close, close, less than 100 meters.
'Shoot. ’
Li Chongyi shouted a good drink, and the shooting words had already been shouted, and the Tang soldiers heard the order, and they did not shoot arrows, longbows, swallow crossbows, and eight-bull crossbows in their hands in their hands.
The Turkic soldiers looked at the rain of arrows, and it was too late to dodge, so they took their knives and slashed the arrows in close quarters, but there were too many arrows, and people kept falling down from arrows.
The Turkic general shouted.
'He has not enough arrows, not to be afraid, the archers are ready, shoot. ’
Watching the Turkic arrow rain flying, Li Geduo was close to the nearest shield, and Li Chongyi picked up a huge curved shield in front of him, and there were two small holes in the huge shield that could be seen to look like Turkic movements.
The rain of arrows flew by, and landed on the shield, and only three or three arrows passed through the gaps in the shield, and the shield was all covered with armor and visor, and only received some minor injuries.
The Turks looked at the shield of the Tang Dynasty in front of them and were a little confused, what the hell is going on, a round of arrow rain did not see a single Tang soldier fall, which made the momentum of the Turkic army instantly less than half.
Li Chongyi saw that the Turkic arrow rain was accepting, and shouted at the top of his voice.
'Gunpowder. ’
The canister of fire oil on the trebuchet was tied with gunpowder, and when the rope of the trebuchet was cut, the gunpowder exploded above the heads of the Turkic army, and the gunpowder and oil tank ignited the oil instantly, and the sky was like the rain of fire that the end had descended on. The long arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbow were also strapped with gunpowder, which exploded instantly when they shot into the crowd. The Turkic army was shocked by the scene before them.
'Retreat, retreat. ’
The Turkic army began to retreat, and the time for Li Ke to play his role had come, leading a thousand vanguard troops to the battlefield.
The battle lasted only half a day, and the Turkic army retreated to the city in a rout. Li Ke left words for tomorrow's battle. Withdrew to Li Jing's barracks with discharge. The Tang army was in great momentum.
At this time, Li Jing looked at the report in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Qian Huan didn't come to fight, he came to throw money, a round of arrow rain released 80,000, beheaded the enemy 2,000, and injured countless enemies.
And our army only lost four casualties, 27 were slightly wounded, and none were seriously wounded.
Attacking the city with 2,000 men can be called a complete victory.
Qian Huan also listened to the buffalo's return, and when he heard that the four people died in the battle, he looked lonely, and sighed and said.
'Thirty cents for each of the men killed in the war, plus for the military industry. The whole army rested, although it was said that tomorrow was just to scare and scare them, and three days later, they directly took Zhanxiang City. ’
'Yes. ’
In the final analysis, the war is still cruel, and there is no difference between the death of four people and the death of one person for Qian Huan, but looking at the soldiers who have skyrocketed in momentum, Qian Huan is not easy to go over.
Li Chongyi couldn't make a sound again, and Li Ge and Li Chongyi bragged about how refreshing they were as a striker, but Li Chongyi couldn't make a sound, and he turned around in a hurry.
Niu Jinda came, comforted Qian Huan a few words and left. Don't always worry about the life and death of the soldiers, you must have this consciousness when you join the army, if you worry about the life and death of the soldiers every day, then you are not suitable to be a martial artist, and you can only stay in the circle of the eldest grandson Wuji for the rest of your life.
Qian Huan poured a stomach full of wine. Lying on the bed with your head covered, I hope that sleep will bring me stability.
The third day has arrived, and Qian Huan got up very early today. From the last soldier to Li Ke's side. shouted at the soldiers.
Today is the last battle, and it is bound to take Zhanxiang. There is no faith. ’
'Yes. ’
'Go. ’
Qian Huan's departure can give Jieli Khan a headache, the combat power of those 2,000 people can completely top 10,000 people, when did Datang become so rich, and he didn't need money to shoot bows and arrows? What is that gunpowder?
The subordinates reported that the Tang army was coming, and it was still the team of 2,000 people, but this time it brought more war funds than last time. Although Jieli Khan had a headache, he firmly believed that the Tang army of 2,000 people could not capture the city of Zhanxiang.
The planner beside him whispered a few words in the ear of Jieli Khan. Jieli Khan agreed, although the losses were greater, but the Tang army could be destroyed and the momentum of the Tang army could be extinguished.
'Out of the city to meet the enemy. ’
The Turks continued to go out of the city to meet the enemy, just as they had last time, but there were many more people than many times. But Li Chongyi didn't take it seriously, and this time all the gunpowder and arrows were brought over. I don't believe that you have a hundred thousand people in Xiangcheng.
'Shoot'
The rain of arrows flew through, penetrating the armor of the Turkic soldiers, and bringing out blood flowers, but today's Turks are not afraid of death and want to rush forward, and Li Chongyi is also happy to do so, gunpowder and oil, and arrows are fired together.
Seeing that most of the Turks had lost most of their losses, they hurriedly retreated, and Li Ke found that his time had come, and led the vanguard army to pursue and kill all the way.
The battle was over, but today's purpose was to capture Zhanxiangcheng, and Li Chongyi waved his army forward.
But at this time, a group of people appeared behind Qian Huan, the number was not large, and about 100 people were wearing Tang Army armor. Qian Huan looked at the hundred people and asked coldly.
'Who is your captain and why are you hiding behind the army?' ’
Someone in the crowd replied.
We are the ones who want your life. Kill'
Qian Huan never expected that a Turkic person would appear behind him, and seeing that the hundred-person team must have come around to assassinate him from a distance. But it's no longer useful. Commanding the three squads around him.
'Kill. ’
Qian Huan retreated, and the team moved forward. At this time, Li Chongyi and the buffalo also found that there was a fight behind them, and hurriedly brought people to rescue Qian Huan. The Turkic team of 100 people is very strong in martial arts. Under the siege of four squads, he did not fall behind.
'Hou Ye, be careful. ’
Qian Huan didn't react for a while, there was a sharp pain in the shoulder armor, and when he looked down, an arrow passed through the shoulder armor and fixed on his body, Qian Huan couldn't make a sound, and couldn't let the soldiers find out that they were injured, gritted his teeth and retreated step by step, and the cold mountain on his head was like rain. Qian Huan endured the severe pain and heard it again.
'Ah Huan, open more. ’
Because of the pain, Qian Huan's reaction was very slow, and a figure in the middle threw himself down, and the buffalo took a plate axe and cut the person who attacked Qian Huan in two, and hurriedly shouted.
'Qian Hou, the little prince was seriously injured, and he quickly returned to the Taoist army for medical treatment, and his life was not guaranteed if he was late. ’
Hearing this, Qian Huan looked at Li Chongyi lying on his body, and a wound appeared on Li Chongyi's back, the wound was very deep and long, and the flesh and blood were rolling. Qian Huan lost his mind in an instant.
Xiao Ke killed them all, slaughtered the city, and sent the five, six, and seven squads to the Li Chongyi Hui military camp. ’
Li Ge turned his head in astonishment, and saw an arrow stuck in his shoulder, Li Chongyi was lying on the ground with blurred flesh and blood, his eyes were red in an instant, and he commanded the siege.
Li Chongyi held Qian Huan's hand and said weakly.
'If I die, you help me take care of my father, my brothers are all waste.' ’
Qian Huan estimated the injury on his shoulder, covered Li Chongyi's mouth, and cried.
'Don't talk, you won't die.' ’
