Chapter 592: Invincible with Twin Hammers

(Ask for ticket support!) It's not easy on a hot day, brothers, the Great Summoning: Return of the Monthly Pass! )

"King Qin sweeps **, what is the majesty of the tiger?"

The drum in the army has spirit. Hitting it can shock the enemy's heart and strengthen my courage.

The drums of the heroic conquest sounded again and again, compact and intense, fierce and high, and the momentum was overwhelming. The neighing of horses, the clash of swords and spears. The sound of war drums boosted morale and aroused more and more the determination of the front-line soldiers to fight bloodily.

Torches have been lit, and the Tang army is fighting at night.

The drummers are all naked in the whistling north wind, solemn and majestic. Li Shimin's one-armed main drum is the main player, hundreds of soldiers and deputy drums are assisted, and there are long horns, cymbals and other accompaniments on the side.

Behind the main drum, a big banner with the word "Tang" was raised high, and hundreds of Tang military flags were waved along with the formation.

More than 100 war drums were arranged into a seven-star array, and experienced drummers were desperately showing their drum skills. Techniques such as chasing the stars, catching the moon, rushing to the sky, and shaking the earth have been brought out. The flag-bearer and drummer are heroic and cool, and the flag hunting is majestic and majestic, adding a bit of excitement.

The drumsticks are flying and sonorous. Compact and intense, fierce and high-pitched. "Chasing the stars" is extremely heroic, "Catching the moon and hammering" is unstoppable, "Rushing to the sky" runs through Changhong, "shaking the hammer" shocks all directions, "Prancing Horse Whip" moves forward bravely, "Double Hammer Rushing to the sky" shocking the world, horses step on the Huns, look back at the Beidou, return my rivers and mountains, more than a dozen kinds of playing styles are endless. The sound of drums shook the earth. Surging and overwhelming. There is a sense of tiger roaring mountains and forests, the momentum of soldiers pressing the border, and the power of black clouds destroying the city.

Chai Shao set up a horse in front of the city, waving a lance and shouting, "Qin Guogong personally beat the drum to help, the music of breaking the formation shook the sky, breaking this city is tonight, brothers, kill!" ”

To the sound of drums, the Tang army shouted loudly. One after another, one fell, and more soldiers rushed forward without fear of death.

"Crazy, crazy, anti-bone thieves are crazy, these thieves are all crazy." A captain of the Jiang Han Army in the city cut off the head of a Tang army who jumped onto the city, but he was also frantically thrown by the soldier before he died. Deep into the abdomen.

The madness of the Tang army made the defenders in the city feel extremely frightened. There was even a faint fear in his heart.

In the firelight, under the banner of Pei Zijiang on the city tower, Pei Xingyan and the brothers stood as calm as a mountain, calm and unmoving.

"The Tang army is fierce and will not last. At most, for two more hours, the Tang army will withdraw. Pei Xingjian watched the Tang army attack the city so fiercely, and said with a smile in his heart.

Pei Xingyan's eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly at Li Shimin, who was beating drums and cheering violently in the firelight under the city, "If Li Shimin only has this ability, then I really thought highly of him before." Such a strong attack. In vain to send the dead ear. ”

The Pei brothers have a strong city to rely on, and they wish that Li Shimin would storm the city, so it won't take two or three days for Li Shimin's more than 20,000 people and horses. It will inevitably become a mountain of corpses piled up under the city.

Light drums, heavy drums.

The drums in the Tang army drum formation changed, Chai Shao abandoned his horse and held a shield, held a horizontal knife in his mouth, personally led another team of soldiers, rushed to the city wall, quickly lifted a knocked down ladder, and braved the rain of arrows and rolling stones. Left grid and right avoidance, like an ape flying up.

Chai Shao went up the ladder. Immediately behind, dozens of captains and team leaders abandoned the long soldiers one after another, holding short blades in their hands. Holding a shield to lead by example, with more soldiers once again like ants climbing the city.

Pei Xingyan looked at the Tang army like ants, fearless, and gave an order in an orderly manner, and immediately hundreds of defenders held long forks, aimed at the ladders, and pushed them out.

The soldiers under the city tried their best to stabilize the ladder and prevent the ladder from falling, and the Tang army on the ladder climbed like flying.

Several ladders were overturned, and some were also in danger, Chai Shao had already climbed to the top of the city quickly, roared, jumped into the city with his sword, and when he boarded, the soldiers intersected, and blood splashed. From time to time, the brave Tang army also jumped onto the city, gradually leaning together, protecting a small piece of the city behind them. The Tang army under the city seized the opportunity, and more cloud ladders were densely erected on the city wall, and countless Tang troops went up the ladder one after another. …,

Chai Shao's knife sank quickly, stabbed a defender captain to death with a knife, rushed forward, and chopped off the captain's head with another knife, jumped on the high battlements, and shouted at the sky. For a time, Sergeant Tang was shaken, and the offensive was even more fierce.

"Nameless junior, report your name, and the master will not die under the hammer."

A loud roar came, but I saw a silver-armored young general in the defenders rushing towards him, it was Pei Xingyan. In the handover of troops in the city, Pei Xingyan also abandoned the long lance on the horse, and instead held a pair of bright silver hammers. A pair of bright silver hammers seem to be short, but every swing carries the sound of whirring wind, and every time it hits a Tang army, it must be killed with one move.

Pei Xingyan killed all the way, and the bright silver hammer head had been dyed bright red, and blood was still dripping on it.

Chai Shao threw down the head in his hand, lifted the horizontal knife, and swooped straight at Pei Xingyan, "Dying, why do you need to know my name." ”

The knives and hammers struck, and there was a burst of sparks.

The battle was not enough, Pei Xingyan's two-handed hammer was already as ruthless as a blow, and Chai Shao was gradually defeated.

With a clang, the horizontal knife in Chai Shao's hand was shattered by Pei Xingyan's double hammer.

Chai Shao looked back and saw that only three or five of the dozens of people who came to the city with him were still desperate, and the rest had already fallen.

Pei Xingyan didn't spare his hand at all, and took advantage of the situation to slam another hammer, Chai Shao knew that he was invincible, and he didn't hesitate anymore, jumped out, and had already jumped out of the battlements, and grabbed a ladder in mid-air.

Pei Xingyan sneered, snatched the bow and arrow of a defender beside him, and shot it with his bow. Hanging on the cloud ladder, Chai Shao couldn't dodge, he could avoid the vital point, he had been hit by an arrow in his shoulder, his hand was loosened, and the whole person fell from mid-air. The frightened Tang pawn under the city hurriedly went to pick it up.

Several Tang pawns finally caught Chai Shao, but several soldiers still couldn't stand the impact, shook their internal organs, and spat blood.

Chai Shao also spit out a mouthful of blood, and wanted to get up to attack again, but the thunderous war drums that he had already heard had stopped, and the sound of gongs had sounded, and the rear army had already sent the order to withdraw the troops.

The Tang army under the city was unwilling in their hearts, risking their lives to attack for so long, but in the end they still withdrew their troops, and the previous heavy casualties were all lost.

There was silence in front of the city gate, and there were patches of blood on the ground, and all those who died in battle were brought back, but there were still some stumps and broken arms, and there was no time to search them. Alone in a cluster of arrows, miserable and bloody.

Chai Shao's face was pale, his armor was stained bright red with blood, and he returned to the rear with difficulty, "The last general is incompetent and failed to take the city, please punish the general." ”

After beating the war drums for most of the day, Li Shimin was also very tired and shook his head, "Pusaka City is indeed strong, and Er Pei is also very difficult, I can't take Puban today, that's reasonable, what is General Chai's crime." ”

He vividly remembered the whole siege process just now, and the enemy general commanded properly, both offensive and defensive, and was a strong enemy.

Li Shimin stood quietly in front of the formation, frowning and staring at Puban Guancheng, "This city cannot be stormed, only outwitted." ”

All the generals looked moved, "The general already has a strategy to take the city?" ”

Li Shimin's face was serious, "I am only 30% sure, but the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, if this strategy does not work, we will think of other methods tomorrow." ”

I heard that there was a thirty percent certainty, but Chai Shao and the others were happy, but thirty percent was not low, at least it was much stronger than today's suicidal siege.

After this tough battle during the day, the 20,000 Tang troops were killed and wounded at least thousands, and this was only a day's siege, and so many soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and everyone was extremely heavy. At that moment, Li Shimin began to arrange, and the generals followed the order.

On the top of Puban Pass, a school captain came to report, "Report to the general, after the Tang army collects its troops, it will retreat to five miles away from the city." At present, the soldiers and horses are cooking, looking at their military appearance, in today's battle, the Tang army lost at least 3,000 people. ”

Pei Xingjian smiled, "How is the Tang military camp set up, is it strong?" ”…,

The lieutenant shook his head and smiled, "After the Tang army retreated to five miles away, they sent troops and horses to collect the corpses of soldiers, bandage and treat the wounded, bury pots and make food, and some rushed to make siege equipment overnight. But they did not set up camp and dug ditches and set up trenches. ”

"Li Shimin is actually uneasy in the camp, what does he mean by this? Could it be that he still wants to attack the city again tonight? ”

Pei Xingyan shook his head, "The three armies fight, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." The morale of the Tang army is exhausted tonight, how can it be possible to fight again? Looking at it more, Li Shimin must have decided that we would not leave the city, so after being tired, he simply didn't bother to set up camp, and made up his mind to rest for a day or two before attacking the city. ”

Pei Xingjian nodded, "What the second brother said has some truth, but no matter what, I won't move if the enemy moves." Whatever he does, we just have to stay in the city and not get out. ”

"Big brother, the way of the art of war, blindly sticking to it is not the best policy. In today's battle, we did not defeat Li Shimin, but our army's casualties were not small. The Tang army's offensive was too fierce, we had too few soldiers and horses, and the casualties were very heavy. If we blindly defend to the death, such a fierce battle, within six or seven days, we will soon have no troops to defend. According to the younger brother's opinion, I have to defend when I should shoot, and I will defend when I am critical, so as to ensure that my Pusaka is not lost. Tonight, the Tang army was exhausted after the battle, and even the camp was not settled, and this was our great opportunity. ”

Pei Xingyan asked for an order on one knee, "General, the last general is willing to lead 3,000 men and horses to raid Li Shimin at night." ”

"No, Li Shimin is as fierce as a wolf, and I know that this is not Li Shimin's trap? For the sake of today's strategy, we had better stay and wait for help, believing that the reply from His Majesty and my father will arrive soon. When the time comes, we will act according to His Majesty's will. ”

"But the opportunity is fleeting, and you can't miss it, big brother." Pei Xingyan was unwilling.

Pei Xingjian was unmoved, so he couldn't hold on, and Pei Xingyan had no choice but to turn around and leave.

In the middle of the night, Pei Xingjian was also exhausted, and after inspecting the city defense again, he had just returned to the mansion and was about to sleep, when a lieutenant hurriedly came to report, "General, the second general just privately led two thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to attack the Tang army." ”

"What?" Pei Xingjian was taken aback, and he didn't feel sleepy
