Chapter 40: The Destruction of Nan Tianzhu

Elephant soldiers are the only troops in Tianzhu that can enter the eyes of the Tang Army, with unparalleled impact, this is the weapon that Tianzhu relies on to establish the country, the king of West Tianzhu is full of confidence, thinking that he can rely on the terrible charge of the elephant soldiers, the Tang army is trampled into pulp.

But he didn't expect that before the elephant soldiers rushed to the front of the Tang army, they suffered heavy casualties.

There were so many dead and wounded, and he never had an elephant soldier in his memory, and he was so shocked that he almost dropped his eyeballs on the ground.

"Impossible! No way! King Xi Tianzhu rubbed his eyes, his eyes widened, and he looked at the battlefield desperately, yes, the elephant soldiers were killed and wounded.

Not only did King Xi Tianzhu have the idea of having a delusion, but the ministers and soldiers were all the same, rubbing their eyes desperately and looking at the battlefield.

Believe it or not, the elephant soldiers who are wailing and screaming are ironclad proof; Believe it, this has never appeared in the history of Tianzhu, and they are shocked.

"How so? How so? Immediately afterward, they just muttered loudly, and their faces were confused.

The strong crossbow is a sharp weapon in the world in ancient China, our ancestors relied on the strong crossbow to suppress the nomads' cavalry, and successively defeated the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic and other powerful nomads.

For the Tianzhu people, such a powerful crossbow array was a new thing, and it was difficult for them to turn the corner all of a sudden.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! Just when they were in shock, the crossbow continued to fire, taking turns to shoot.

Dense crossbow bolts covered the elephant soldiers again and again, and the elephant soldiers were killed and wounded countless times.

"Withdraw! Remove! Withdraw it! "Zhang Yu, the king of Xizaizhu, came to his senses and ordered the elephant soldiers to retreat.

It's a pity that the war has come to this point. Will the elephants be able to get back? When the elephant charges. The crossbow is shooting; When the elephant soldiers retreated. The crossbow is still shooting. It didn't take long for the attacking elephants to be shot and killed.

The elephant soldiers who charged in this round of "......" were lost, but they didn't even touch the corners of Tang Jun's clothes, which was too unbelievable, and Xi Tianzhu Junchen was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not good." Some ministers reacted and reminded them.

Needless to say? The elephant soldiers can't help the Tang army, what will Xi Tianzhu do to fight the Tang army?

"The King. Hurry up and figure it out. "There are ministers busy.

Think of a way, think of a way, deal with this situation, what else can King Xi Tianzhu think of?

"Attack!" At this moment, Xue Zhi waved his right hand and ordered loudly.

The Tang army began to launch an overwhelming offensive against the Western Tianzhu army.

First, the cavalry was dispatched, galloped away, and penetrated directly into the back of the West Tianzhu army, successfully cutting off the retreat of the West Tianzhu army.

Then, it's a strong crossbow to open the way. Cover the advance of the Modao battle array.

The strong crossbow is terrible, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. The Western Tianzhu army fell piece by piece.

The advancement of the Modao battle array is extremely smooth, whether it is a person or an elephant, it will be finished when it encounters the Modao battle array.

It didn't take long for the West Tianzhu army to suffer heavy casualties, not to mention that it was divided by the Tang army, and the Tang army was like a greedy meat grinder, devouring the lives of the West Tianzhu army.

There were more and more corpses on the ground, and the blood did not have time to soak into the soil, converging into a lake of blood, glittering in the sun, indescribably bewitching and weird.

"Descend, my lord." Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, some ministers were frightened and thought of surrendering.

"Yes, my lord. If you don't surrender, you will be killed. ”

"The Tang people have a saying that if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood. As long as we survive, there is hope. ”

Immediately, the minister agreed.

In this situation, Xi Tianzhu has no other way out except to choose to surrender. fight, and will definitely be killed by the Tang Army; Escape, there is no way to escape, and if you don't fall, you have to fall.

"Come down." King Xi Tianzhu took a long breath, sighed, and had to surrender.

"Don Army, please stop the attack, we surrender." King Xi Tianzhu shouted loudly.

The ministers opened their eyes wide, pricked up their ears, and looked at Xue Zhi, very nervous and expectant.

Nervously, they were afraid that the Tang Army would not accept their surrender, in which case they would be dead. The hope is that if the Tang army can accept their surrender, there will be a way to live.

"King Xitianzhu, I gave you a chance, but you missed it yourself, don't blame me for being unpredictable." Xue Zhi said coldly: "Datang will do what he says!" I said that if you dared to resist, I would slaughter the army. Right now, I'm going to slaughter you! None of you want to live! ”

When he marched into Tianzhu, he fought too smoothly, and his smoothness far exceeded Li Longji's expectations. Shun lĂŹ, of course, is a good thing, but also a bad thing. The advantage is that Tianzhu can be taken quickly at a very small price. The disadvantage is that if you don't fight a tough battle, you can't stand up and deter Tianzhu.

It is from this point of consideration that Li Longji wants to take West Tianzhu and South Tianzhu to establish power.

Xue Zhi knew Li Longji's intentions very well, and had already made up his mind to slaughter the army, and asking King Xi Tianzhu to surrender was just a formality, knowing that he would not surrender, and deliberately gave him a chance that seemed to exist was actually equal to nothing.

"This ......" If Xue Zhi had said this before the war, they would have heard it as a joke. Saying this now, the monarch and ministers of Xi Tianzhu are frightened.

The Tang army has already shown strong combat power, and it will definitely be able to slaughter the army. In that case, they will all have to die, who can not be shocked?

"Tang Jun, blame me for having no eyes, I don't know how powerful Tang Jun is, I talk nonsense, and I ask Tang Jun not to blame." Xi Tianzhu's face was snow-white, without a trace of blood, as if he had been buried in the soil.

"Kill all the dogs!" This was Xue Zhi's answer to him.

"Kill all the dogs!" The Tang army carried out this order very well, slaughtered on a large scale, and killed the Western Tianzhu army with a river of blood and a mountain of corpses.

The Western Tianzhu army wanted to flee back to the city, but it cut off the retreat route for the Tang army and prevented them from entering the city.

If they want to flee elsewhere, the cavalry of the Tang Army are chasing and killing everywhere, and how many can escape?

What followed was a massacre, a one-sided massacre. The Tang army faithfully carried out the order of the "slaughter army" and slaughtered the Western Tianzhu army.

King Xi Tianzhu saw that the army he had worked so hard to build was dead and wounded, and he even had the heart to die, what could he do? If only I had known it would have been so. Why not surrender early?

"I am a sinner. Shame on the ancestors and ancestors. The only way to apologize is death. "King Xi Tianzhu wanted to wipe his neck, but he put the knife on his neck and didn't dare to wipe it.

"Boom." With a shake of the hand, the knife fell to the ground.

"You don't even have the courage to die, I will fulfill you." Xue Zhi rode his horse to arrive, as if looking at a dead dog, without the slightest pity, and the horizontal knife in his hand was slashed and sent food to Ju Song

His head rolled on the ground, and his mouth couldn't help opening and closing, as if asking Xue Zhi, why didn't you capture me?

He doesn't even have the qualifications to be a prisoner, and he, the king of Western Tianzhu, is too sloppy.

At this point, the West Tianzhu was destroyed.

XXXXXXXXXX

At the same time, the battle to destroy Nan Tianzhu also began.

After King Nantianzhu received the news that the Tang army had entered Nantianzhu, he convened his ministers to discuss.

"The Tang army has entered our country in a big way, you tell me how we should respond." King Nan Tianzhu glanced at the ministers. Asked out loud.

"King, the Tang army is fierce and good at fighting. Even our elephant soldiers are no opponents, and we must not meet them. ”

The Tang army was prestigious, and they had to be afraid.

"That's right. The elephant soldiers were not the opponents of the Tang Army, I didn't believe it at first, but there were more and more news, and I had to believe it. We can't fight with the Tang Army, that's looking for death. ”

"If we don't fight, will we give up the good fortune? It's not going to work. ”

The country is good, and no one will be willing.

"You have a point, and in my opinion, we still have to fight this battle. As long as we do not fight a field war, we will fight with the Tang Army in the field, and we will not be afraid of the Tang Army. The elephant soldiers are not the opponents of the Tang army, so we don't have to send elephant soldiers to fight, don't we still have a city? Our capital is a strong city, high and thick, and it should be defended. ”

"That's a good idea. The Tang army came from afar, which was conducive to a quick battle and a quick victory, and was not conducive to a protracted war. And we have the right time and place, and we can drag it out. As long as we drag it out and let the Tang army suffer under the fortified city, the prestige of the Tang army will be greatly damaged, and our prestige will rise sharply, and this increase will be extremely beneficial to us. ”

"Also, if the Tang army is frustrated, there will be trouble elsewhere, and if we add fuel to the fire, we will finally attack it en masse, and no matter how much the Tang army can fight, it will be difficult to escape the fate of annihilation."

There are ministers who are quite shrewd and have come up with a good idea.

"Not bad! Not bad! You guys have a great idea, and that's it. King Nan Tianzhu was greatly rejoiced.

I have to say that this idea is really ruthless, and it hit the key point of the Tang Army.

The Tang army was well-equipped, well-trained, strict in command, advanced in tactics and tactics, and extremely powerful in combat.

If Nan Tianzhu defended the city, using the strong city to consume the Tang army would be enough to drag the Tang army down, and at that time, Nan Tianzhu would seize the opportunity to attack and definitely defeat the Tang army.

If the news of the defeat of the Tang army spreads, it will be a disaster for the Tang army, because those Tianzhu lands that have been conquered by the Tang army will rise up, and the Tang army will fall into passivity.

The idea was to fight, and the king of Nantianzhu gave an order, and the Nantianzhu army went to the city to defend it, wanting to drag down the Tang army.

When Yang Siqiao led the army to the capital of Nantianzhu, the king of Nantianzhu ascended to the top of the city, pointed at Yang Sixuan, and sneered: "General Tang, listen." I know that you are very powerful, and if you fight in the field, we will not be able to defeat you, and our elephants will be slaughtered by you. It doesn't matter, I don't fight with you in the field, I defend the city. You have the skill, and you take the city. Come, you siege the city! Attack! ”

"Haha!" The ministers laughed and mocked Tang Jun.

The royal city of Nantianzhu is very strong, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Tang army attacks the city, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, they have absolute confidence, they can hold the city.

"The people in the city are waiting: I am Yang Siqiao, and I order you to surrender immediately, so that you can save the lives of your whole family. If you dare to say a word, I will slaughter the city! Anyone over three feet will be beheaded! Yang Siqiao came to the city and shouted loudly.

He was born as a eunuch, and his voice was sharp and piercing, like the cry of a night owl, which was very ugly.

"Anyone over three feet will be beheaded. What a big breath. How do you cut it? King Nan Tianzhu sneered.

Yang Siqiao glanced coldly at King Nantianzhu, beat his horse and returned to his own formation, and said, "Pull the crossbow up." (To be continued......)
