Chapter 34: The Bloody Castle (Part II)
"Shichiro, good archery!" Li Siye gave a thumbs up.
Li Qingan thanked him: "Thank you Siye for saving my life." ”
Li Siye is known as the first knife in the world, he is also very proud, there are few people who can be looked down on by him, Li Qingan is one of them, he especially admires Li Qingan's archery.
Li Siye flicked the Mo knife and said proudly: "With a gesture, Qilang is not polite, you are willing to compete with me to see who kills the most enemies in Lianyunbao?" ”
Li Qing'an was also happy and laughed: "Okay! From now on, you and I have each killed one person. ”
"No!" Li Siye squinted his eyes and smiled: "You have killed thirty-one people now, and I will only kill one, from this count." ”
"Heir Hero, I'm better than you!"
Li Qing'an turned around and rushed to the camp, he changed a pot of arrows, three arrows came out in a row, and the three Tubo soldiers fell to the ground in wailing.
"Brother Siye, I'm thirty-four."
Li Qing'an's laughter came from the firelight, and Li Siye smiled.
........
The sky gradually brightened, the smoke of the Tubo military village has not yet dissipated, and the curls are emitted from the charcoal and wood scorched corpses, and the eight thousand Tubo troops have killed five thousand, but there are still more than two thousand people who fled into Lianyunbao from the path, and the Tang army moved to Lianyunbao, they have only one choice.
As soon as the day dawned, the Tang army launched its first attack, and 3,000 troops of the Protector and the Hidden Kingdom attacked Lianyunbao under the leadership of the king of Zhiyin, Lost Jiayan.
The Tang army's drums are like thunder, the sound of shouting and killing is shaking the sky, thousands of Hu soldiers in the Western Regions carry long ladders, like a tide to the fort wall, Lianyun Fort is built on the halfway up the mountain, the slope is high and the wall is steep, only a ramp about 100 steps wide can erect a ladder, but the Tubo army has been prepared to prepare quite fully, for a time, boulders, rolling logs like a storm to the siege Hu army smashed, the siege Hu army has nowhere to dodge, was smashed by the wood and stone to the flesh and blood, heavy casualties, a moment of effort, the Hu army will be killed and wounded thousands, defeated and retreated.
Gao Xianzhi looked intently at the defense of the Tubo army, although he knew that Lianyun Fort was not easy to attack, he still didn't expect the Tubo army to be so sharp.
"Gao Shuai, Hu Jun has suffered heavy casualties, do you want them to withdraw?"
"Nope! Give me a drum to urge the war, whoever dares to come down will be killed! ”
The drums of the Tang army's attack sounded again, rumbling and shocking, and when the king of Zhizhi saw that Gao Xianzhi refused to let them retreat, he had no choice but to shout: "Rush up, rush to Lianyun Castle!" ”
He picked up a lance and personally charged forward, under the strict defense of the Tubo army, the momentum of the second attack of the Hu soldiers was significantly weakened, the shouting of killing was not loud, and the running was not fast, and they turned around and fled for their lives when the Tubo army counterattacked.
Gao Xianzhi's face was expressionless, and he coldly ordered: "If there is one more step back, cut it!" ”
Driven by the Tang saber and axeman, the Hu soldiers attacked the castle again, and the rolling wood and stones of the Tubo army were smashed down intensively again, and the city wailed and screamed, and even some Hu soldiers knelt down and surrendered.
On the castle, Chandrow snorted, this kind of army still wants to capture his Lianyun Castle, if it wasn't for the sneak attack last night, it is not known who will kill the deer.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Śāyān, who was directing the attack, and he was already within range of his bow and arrows, so he took off his bow and arrow, aimed at śājāyan, and as soon as the string loosened, an arrow pierced TŹkyayan's chest, and he shook his head contemptuously and threw his bow aside.
The king was dead, and the Hu soldiers no longer had the fighting spirit and retreated, at which time Gao Xianzhi finally gave the order to withdraw the army.
'When! While! While! The sound of gold sounded, and the Tang army was defeated and retreated.
The first attack of the Tang army ended with a heavy price of more than 2,000 casualties, but Gao Xianzhi's face showed a smile, the price of the Hu army's heavy casualties allowed him to touch the bottom of the Tubo army, only the heavy armor of the Mo knife hand can resist the rolling wood and stones of the Tubo army.
"Li Siye, the second formation will be on your Modao Army, take Lianyun Fort for me before noon, and a moment later, I will kill you and sacrifice the flag!"
.......
The two most elite armies of the Tang Dynasty, one is the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, the other is the Anxi Mo knife, the Mo knife is about one zhang long, the shape is like a three-pointed two-edged knife, it can be chopped on both sides, it can also be assassinated, it is used by the heavy infantry and waved with the power of the waist, when fighting, the Mo knife army is advancing like a wall, and the former enemy cavalry is powder, which is the sharpest weapon against the cavalry
Mo knife appeared before and after Gaozong's reluctance, the first year of Tianbao, Mo knife officially equipped the Anxi army, at present, only the Anxi army in the Tang million army has equipment, on the one hand, it is difficult to make Mo knife, the number is not much, on the other hand, there are special requirements for users, requiring the Mo knife army to be more than seven feet tall, infinite strength, Anxi Hu people are numerous, generally tall, can find enough soldiers.
At present, there are 3,000 Mo swordsmen in the Anxi army, Gao Xianzhi personally led the captain, and the specific army is led by Zhaowu captain Li Siye and deputy lieutenant Tian Zhen, Li Siye is known as the first knife in the world, he is eight feet tall, extremely powerful, he made a bet with Li Qing'an, and his heart has long been eager to try, waiting for this opportunity.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! The huge drum of the Tang army sounded again, and a thousand heavily armored Mo Dao soldiers went into battle, they were lined up in five rows, all burly and majestic, and the Mo Dao in their hands was cold and sharp, and they marched towards Lianyun Fort step by step, their pace was slow, but every step was so thrilling and shocking, as if their arrival was unstoppable.
"One hundred steps..... Fifty steps. ”
The arrows of the Tubo army roared and clanged on the heavy armor of the Modao army, and they bent and fell to the ground, and the Tubo army in the city moved, the Tang army made them fearful, and Chandro was also a little nervous, there would be such a tall army in the world.
'Boom! There was a loud bang, and a huge ladder wrapped in thick cowhide set up the city wall, and Mo Dao began to climb the wall, and the Tubo army woke up like a dream, and the rolling wood and stones fell like rain, and Mo Dao hit the boulder log with a long knife.
A Mo knife hand split a section of rolling log, but was smashed by a heavy stone on the heavy armor, although it was not enough to kill him on the spot, but the huge impact still made him tumble, Mo knife flew high, hovering in the air, the cold light flashed, like a flying ice flower.
After all, the Tang army was in the minority, and the Tang army lined up, facing the raindrops of rolling wood and stones, and attacked upwards step by step.
Chandro was already sweating profusely, he desperately thought of a way, shooting with arrows, smashing with stones, burning with fire, all the methods he could think of were used, but in front of this Tang army, all the means were to no avail, his face was pale, as if the situation in his dream was about to be staged: the fire was raging, completely engulfing Lianyun Castle.
No! There must be a way, his gaze suddenly stopped on the huge wooden ladder, the ladder pole thicker than his legs, wrapped in thick cooked cowhide.
He stood for a long time, suddenly, like crazy, rushed up, raised the knife and slashed desperately towards the ladder, this may be their only chance, the Tubo army woke up like a dream, and rushed up with a knife, chopping the wooden ladder with a knife, the ladder began to shake violently, several Tang soldiers on the side stood unsteadily, and fell off the ladder one after another, just at this moment, a thunderbolt-like roar sounded in the air, and a huge black shadow swept like a wind, this is Li Siye rushed up, he waved his knife, and suddenly the blood mist was filled, Five Tubo soldiers were cut into ten pieces, and his Mo knife flew up and down, and in a moment, dozens of Tubo soldiers were cut into powder.
Chandrow's eyes were red, he shouted, raised his sword and rushed forward, only one step away, he suddenly froze, and a long red line appeared from his forehead to his chest and abdomen.
"Forty-eight!"
Li Siye looked up to the sky and laughed, he turned around and shouted, "Li Qilang, I have surpassed you." ”
Deputy Lieutenant Tian Zhen also jumped into the city, slashed several people with a knife, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of Mo swordsmen rushed up, and the Tubo army collapsed in an instant......
Gao Xianzhi smiled faintly, Lian Yunbao took it, which meant that he had surpassed Fumeng Lingcha.....
