Chapter 513: Something Isn't Right!
Chapter 513: Something is wrong!
Standing at the head of the city of Weize Pass, Li Huining looked at the Turkic people who were desperately climbing the city wall like ants under the city, and frowned slightly, she turned around and looked at the soldiers of the Women's Army around her, everyone's faces were ugly. She originally had an army of 100,000 under her command, all of whom were the Jianghu guests she had been subduing all the way, and these people were in awe of her, and the orders in the army were only from her alone, and the others could not command this group of men who licked blood on their heads at all.
It's just that after a long time in the army, the gangsterism on these people has gradually disappeared, and there are more rules, and they have never harmed the people.
But because of this, the Women's Army will have today's crisis.
After Li Huining arrived at Weize Pass, Li Jiancheng first used the lack of troops in his hands as an excuse to transfer 40,000 elites from the Niangzi Army to supplement the Taiyuan Tang Army camp, and then sent people to say that Yanmen and Mayi were the only way for the Turks to be defeated, and let Li Huining divide his troops to garrison these two places, Yanmen divided more than 30,000 Niangzi Army, and Ma Yi divided more than 20,000 people, and by this time, there were less than 5,000 men and horses left in Weize Pass.
Liu Wuzhou's escape to Ma Yi was actually just a way to kill himself, Ma Yi had already been occupied by the Niangzi Army, and even if Liu Wuzhou and the remnants of the army could escape all the way to Ma Yi, he was afraid that he would be beaten head-on with a stick. I was afraid that this would happen, and Liu Wuzhou was already annoyed and resentful, and he didn't retreat to the direction of Weize Pass with the Turks, thinking that he had taken a Yangguan Avenue, but it was actually a dead end.
There is a dead end in front of him, and Ashina Eliver seems to have only one last gateway left in front of him, as long as he breaks through the reed pass to escape, the Turkic wolf rider who returns to the steppe is like a shark returning to the sea, and no one can fight their sharp fangs in the sea.
But what Ashina Eliver didn't expect was that a small pass was actually guarded by the Tang army, and his hundreds of thousands of troops had been storming for several days and still failed to take it, but lost thousands of elites, although he didn't know why the Tang army behind him had not caught up, but he didn't believe that the people of the Li family would let go of such a good opportunity. As long as the hundreds of thousands of wolf riders under his command are blocked in the Central Plains, the Turkic tribes will be in a state of collapse, and they will not be able to go south for at least ten years.
Therefore, he personally went into battle for many days to urge the soldiers to attack the city, at this time in his eyes, human life has long been not human life, and no matter how many people die, they must also conquer Weize Pass.
Li Huining stuffed back a strand of hair that fell from the iron helmet, patted the shoulder of a soldier next to him and pointed to the city and said, "Don't be afraid, the Turkic wolf has stepped off the horse, just like a wolf with its fangs pulled out, there is nothing to fear." Letting the cavalry dismount and climb the walls is like letting a toothless wolf bite a stone. The steppe people don't know how to attack the city, their advantage is all on horseback, what are they afraid of without war horses? ”
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old Lady Army soldier was patted by Li Huining, and his heart warmed, and after listening to Li Huining, he nodded vigorously and said, "General, I'm not afraid!" Those wolf cubs have been climbing for several days, and besides, behind them is the brigade of our Tang Army, and the veterans can't say that our reinforcements will arrive in three days, so I'm not afraid. ”
He glanced at Li Huining and said, "I'm just worried about you, general, arrows are flying on the city wall, general, you better go back and rest for a while, in case you are injured, who will command us to kill the enemy?" ”
Li Huining smiled and said: "You also said that I am the general of this team, how can there be a reason for the soldiers to fight on the city wall and hide behind me." Don't worry, have you ever seen a feather arrow touch me all the way since Chang'an? ”
She patted the soldier's shoulder again and said with a smile: "I remember to shoot a few Turks, kill five, I will promote you to the team, kill ten, you are the brigade leader, kill twenty, I will give you a captain to sit on." ”
"Whoa!"
The young soldier waved his fist vigorously and shouted: "General, look, if the Turks dare to climb up from me, I will kill one by one!" ”
Li Huining waved his fist with him, and said with a smile: "I can trust you." ”
The soldier looked proud, pulled the hard bow away again and aimed at a Turkic man and shot out, the feather arrow accurately drilled into the Turkic wolf knight holding the ladder, the arrow drilled into the eye socket and came out of the back of the head, the wolf knight fell down limply before he could scream.
Li Huining glanced at his soldiers appreciatively, and the young man felt that his heart was fluttering, and his arms, which were already a little sore, seemed to be full of strength in an instant.
Li Huining smiled with satisfaction and turned around and walked to another place, but no one saw the haze and sadness in her eyes that were deliberately hidden when she turned around.
It's been five days, five days!
It stands to reason that if nothing else, Li Shimin's men and horses will be able to kill them in three days at most. For the younger brother who has never met a few times since he was a child, Li Huining's mood is extremely complicated and contradictory. Back then, she and her eldest brother Li Jiancheng stood at the door of the Li family's mansion in Chang'an City, watching the old housekeeper take Li Shimin, who was still in swaddling clothes, into the carriage and return to his hometown in Longxi.
……
……
"Miss!"
Li Huining, who was contemplating, heard an exclamation, and she immediately turned her head to look, and was immediately startled. Just where the young soldier she had just encouraged, the Turk had already climbed up the ladder, and the young soldier had half of his skull cut off by a sharp scimitar, and white brains and red blood were sprayed on the city wall at the same time, and the young Lady Army soldier was still holding his hard bow tightly in his hand, and the last feathered arrow failed to shoot and fell to the ground.
Her subordinate general Li Chunnian called her, and she had already rushed up with more than a dozen veterans of the Li family to block the hole that had been torn apart by the Turks.
Li Huining gritted her teeth, turned around and greeted her and rushed over there with her own soldiers, before she ran out three or four steps, and there was another exclamation behind her, not far behind her, a Turkic man jumped up from the ladder and cut down a Lady Army soldier with a knife. The Turkic wolf rider who had gone up to the city howled a few times, as excited as a wild wolf that had hunted food.
Li Huining pulled out the horizontal knife and pounced, the wolf knight saw her rushing over, and immediately swung the knife to her throat, Li Huining gave way to the scimitar on one side, and the horizontal knife in his hand poked into the heart of the wolf knight, the sharp horizontal knife easily cut through the leather armor of the wolf rider, pierced the heart and then drilled out from the back, Li Huining gritted his teeth and rushed forward with the horizontal knife, rushed to the side of the city wall and pulled the horizontal knife outward, and kicked on the chest of the wolf knight. The wolf knight wailed and tumbled down from the wall, hitting his head on the head of his comrade under the wall, and with a thud, two watermelons that collided violently exploded, and blood spilled out.
Li Huining took more than a dozen veterans of the Li family who had experienced a hundred battles, cut down several Turks who climbed the city wall one by one, and then grabbed the hook on the ground and put it on the ladder, she let out a hoarse cry in her throat, and pushed the ladder out with everyone, and the Turkic wolf riders who were still hanging on the ladder shouted in panic, and jumped down from the ladder one after another, but at a height of more than two zhang, they would break their legs even if they didn't die. In such a tragic battlefield, the seriously wounded were simply ignored, and it would not be long before they were trampled into pulp by their comrades.
"Miss!"
After Li Chunnian killed those Turks, he rushed over, wiped a handful of blood on his forehead and protected it in front of Li Huining: "Miss, it's too dangerous on the city wall, you better go to the city tower to avoid it, with me, the Turks can't come up!" ”
"Nope"
Li Huining wiped the blood stains on the horizontal knife on the dead corpses of the Turks on the city wall: "I can't go down, if the soldiers can't see me, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it." ”
Li Chunnian opened his mouth but didn't know what to persuade, he stomped his foot and turned around and ordered: "You all follow the eldest lady, if the eldest lady makes a mistake, you will all jump off the city wall by yourself." ”
"Whoa!"
More than a dozen veterans of the Li family who followed him answered neatly, but there was a deep worry in everyone's eyes.
They all knew that if the reinforcements didn't come again, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to hold out for a day or two. The Turks have gone mad, and today the city is in danger. There is hardly a single intact soldier on the city wall, and there are only 500 people left in the reserve in the city, and if the Turks continue to attack like this, it is difficult to say whether they can defend it today!
"Why are the Turks so crazy today!"
Another Li family's general, Li Shun, frowned and scolded: "Fucking rush to reincarnate!" ”
"That's not right!"
Li Huining suddenly thought of something, she took off the clairvoyance that Li Xian gave her when she went to Taiyuan a while ago from her waist, and looked at the back of the Turkic army formation, only looked at her arm for a while, she couldn't help but tremble, she slowly put down the clairvoyance, the expression on her face was an indescribable meaning, there was surprise, uneasiness, and some helplessness.
"Our reinforcements have arrived!"
When Li Huining said this, he found that his voice was not only hoarse but also trembling.
She pointed to the back of the Turkic army and said, "Someone is leading troops to storm behind the Turks, so the Turks will become crazy and attack the city." Ashina Eliver is planning to conquer our Weize Pass before the back road is blocked, let all the reserves come to the city, and also, the soldiers in the city who can still move will give them a bow and a pot of feather arrows, and even if people die before the reinforcements arrive, they can't let a Turk go over! ”
"Whoa!"
Her soldiers replied loudly, and their faces became agitated.
After holding out for five days, reinforcements finally arrived.
The soldiers were very excited, these five days were longer than five years for them, if it weren't for Li Huining's almost never leaving the city wall, her handsome flag had been floating, I was afraid that the soldiers of the women's army defending the city would have been unable to bear the pressure and rout. Now that they are finally looking forward to reinforcements, how can they not be happy?
"Cheer up, reinforcements have arrived!"
Li Chunnian roared loudly, and soon, there was cheers on the city wall.
"Miss, something is wrong!"
Li Shun lowered her voice and said a word to Li Huining, Li Huining nodded without a trace, turned around and walked in the direction of the city tower, her voice was extremely low, as if she was afraid of dissipating the excitement and joy of the soldiers.
"I know"
She only said three words, and her face was extremely solemn.
