Countdown to the second session
The city wall trembled, this is a sign of the cavalry dispatch, the range of the bow is not far enough, the Turks can only ride a horse close to the city wall and circle around the speed of the war horse to throw the feather arrows far into the city, they have a tacit understanding, for this tactic is very familiar, the war horse is still galloping in the feather arrow is out of the bow and arrow, raining down on the city.
"Stand on the shield!" The captain shouted, Guo Ping quickly erected the big shield, and the recruits around him also followed his example and erected the big shield. But this guy actually put his shield upright, and there was no shelter on his head, which is looking for death.
Guo Ping kicked the recruit's stomach with one kick, this guy was short, the shield tilted all of a sudden, and the dense rain of arrows hit the shield so that he didn't dare to move.
There is a muffled snort constantly, there are always some unlucky eggs who will be injured by the rain of arrows to the gap in the armor, Guo Ping looked at the captain who walked through the rain of arrows and was very envious, he was wearing a black armor, I heard that it was the armor that his father rewarded Yun Shuai when he was serving in Liaodong, not only lightweight, but also very strong, put down the armor, take a hand to protect your eyes can walk through the rain of arrows without being scathed.
The lieutenant kept shouting in his mouth: "Hold on to the shield, the Turks don't have many arrows, they are all poor ghosts, as long as they survive this wave, it will be our turn to exert their might, grandma's, and our Datang is richer than ours, this is looking for death." ”
It doesn't matter what the captain says, but at this time, it is enough for someone to help you straighten the shield on the side in the rain of arrows, Guo Ping took advantage of the slightly sparse gap in the rain of arrows, and carefully looked down from the gap in the shield, and he suddenly found that a bald man rode a big horse close to the city, and the bow and arrow in his hand seemed to be particularly thick, and his target was the captain.
Guo Ping carried the big shield on his back. Kicked the city wall and pounced on the captain's body, and at the same time he seemed to feel that the big shield behind him seemed to be struck by a giant hammer, and his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The captain held Guo Ping and yelled, and the powerful crossbow in his hand shot out like lightning, this time he didn't have any reservations. The three crossbow arrows on the crossbow were all shot out by him, and he didn't care about the results of the battle, shaking Guo Ping's neck and asking him if he was still alive. Just now, Guo Ping's mouthful of blood sprayed all over his shoulder. "Captain, don't shake it, if you shake it again, I'll be shaken to death by you." Guo Ping stammered a sentence.
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and then he hugged Guo Ping and knocked on his shield, and a thumb-thick black feather arrow was inserted in the big shield and was firmly nailed to the shield, and he couldn't pull it off even if he pulled it hard. "The condor shooter of the dog day, Lao Tzu is not finished with him!" Only then did the captain have the kung fu to look at the bald man under the city. In a short time, the cavalry had retreated, and there was a horse lying down not far from the wall, but there was no one on the horse, and the condor archer was still alive and carried away by the other cavalry. "Fire oil ready! The siege team is up! Guo Ping roared at his subordinates, threw away the big shield, picked up a jar of fire oil and smashed it down along the city wall, and the clay pot shattered on the city wall. The oil splattered everywhere, and at the same time dozens of such jars smashed on the walls at the same time. More than a dozen torches were thrown down, and the fire immediately rose into the air, and a terrible scream came from under the city wall, and hundreds of living people screamed and struggled in the sea of fire, and after a while they fell silent.
The air in the city seemed to be burning, and Guo Ping wanted to tear off the pig's mouth and take a few breaths of joy. As soon as I thought of the strong smell of corpses outside and the smell of barbecue, I no longer had the courage to take off the pig's mouth.
A stone bullet smashed on the battlement, smashing the red clay battlement, and the dog's trebuchet came up again, sticking to the base of the hot low wall. Guo Ping felt that he was about to be roasted.
The fire outside is still not extinguished, the oil should have been burned a long time ago, now it will only be human oil, close your eyes and feel the city under the bombardment of stone bombs, always feel that in the next moment, this city wall will collapse.
You shouldn't close your eyes on the battlefield, no matter how dangerous it is, you can't close your eyes, Guo Ping knew this truth, so he quickly opened his eyes, and he found that there were a lot of his own cavalry gathered at the gate of the city, and they seemed to have fire oil barrels tied to them, which was going to burn the Turkic trebuchet? It's long overdue!
This is the team assembled in the interval of trebuchet preparation, after a while when the cavalry starts to throw stones, it will completely destroy this cavalry, Guo Ping's worry is obviously superfluous, as soon as the city gate is opened, these cavalry rushed out, their crossbow arrows are many, as soon as they get out of the city, a rain of arrows flew out, the Turkic cavalry cruising outside the city, also quickly came up, the two teams of cavalry met like two waves colliding, splashing countless splashes, but here will only splash blood.
The cavalry was very fast, and the spear would be discarded after piercing the person, and at this time it would only be a horizontal knife, which hardly needed to be wielded, as long as it was horizontal on the hand, it could cut through the leather armor of the Turks, and finally left a very long wound on their body.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty have a very good saddle sheath, and the length of the stirrup is also very suitable for the use of legs, so every time the cavalry collides, it is the Tang cavalry who takes advantage.
After penetrating the enemy position, they did not like to fight, and began to hunt down the Turks who operated the trebuchet, by the way, smashed the canister of fire oil on the trebuchet, lit the fire and ran quickly, and the Turkic cavalry of the brigade had already outflanked them.
His trebuchet finally wielded, Guo Ping looked at the masonry and tiles flying over his head, tears almost fell, there was this thing to use earlier, Lao Tzu's subordinates were almost dead before taking it out.
The Turkic trebuchets were burning, and it was the turn of the Tang trebuchets to exert their might, and the Turkic cavalry could only watch the Tang cavalry that had succeeded in the sneak attack enter the city, standing outside the range of the trebuchet, shooting arrows helplessly, wanting to leave some more people.
The sun overhead has gone right, the violent sunlight is shooting straight down, there is nowhere to hide, there is nowhere to hide, the corpses under the wall are still burning, so it's okay, at least there will be no stench after burning.
The wind blew from the south, Guo Ping took off the pig's mouth, and took two breaths of air violently, only then did he feel that his lungs were aching faintly, and he put the big shield on his head to cover the shade.
The clothes all over his body were soaked with sweat, while the rice balls could still be eaten, Guo Ping ate them in two bites, and the lieutenant came in tiredly, sat next to Guo Ping and said: "Damn, this armor is solid and reliable, but it is not suitable for wearing here, you touch my body, I can fucking pancakes." ”
Guo Ping took out the water bladder and poured it from the top of the captain's head, the captain shook the water on his head, took a breath and said: "I was supposed to serve in the Lingnan Water Division, it is considered to be the class that replaced my Lao Tzu, who knew that I was afraid of water since I was a child, my father threw me into the pond and wanted me to learn to swim, but I almost drowned, since then his old man has never thought of sending me to the Lingnan Water Division, and sent me to the desert, saying that there is no water here, maybe I can live for a long time, my brother went to the Water Division instead of me, I heard that I am mixing well now, and I can become a captain in two years." ”
Guo Ping shook his head and said: "What kind of life, the old man of my family is more ruthless than yours, I have been admitted to Yushan Academy, I want to be a civil official, the old man will not let me go, I have to come to the army, otherwise, I will be in Yushan Academy to tease pandas." ”
The lieutenant got up and looked at Guo Ping in a daze, and said, "Your old man's head was caught by the door?" After saying this, he felt that it was inappropriate and hurriedly explained: "I mean, what does your father think, anyone can enter Yushan Academy?" Why did you give up in vain? Is it fun to be a big-headed soldier? ”
Guo Ping shook his head and said: "His old man said that our Guo family is deeply favored by the emperor and needs to do his best to repay the emperor's kindness. ”
The captain scratched his head, and suddenly asked Guo Ping in a low voice: "You can't be a handsome, right?" ”
Guo Ping smiled bitterly and was speechless, thinking of his hunger strike at home, remembering his mother crying and begging his father to let him go to Yushan Academy to study, and then thinking of his father's loud answer, his heart was full of bitterness.
"Since my Guo family has already eaten the bowl of rice of Xingwu, then I will eat it from generation to generation, and this matter is not negotiable!"
Guo Ping unconsciously patted his armor and said: "He still doesn't allow me to go to other commanders, I actually want to go to Yun Shuai's command, I heard that he is preparing to build a camel city, once it is completed, it will be invincible in the world." I really want to go and see, anyway, it's all about killing the enemy, what's the difference between killing with a weapon or strangling with a hand? Why don't we use our strengths to kill the enemy?
We also have gunpowder in our army, so why do we have to take it out until the end? When all the people are dead, what's the use of asking for weapons? I very much agree with Yun Shuai's words, he can wipe out the enemy on the horizon and be the best general.
It's not because I'm afraid of death, there are no people in our Guo family who are afraid of death, I just can't stand the people around me dying one by one and I can't do anything. “
Guo Ping's eyes turned red, and the captain patted him on the shoulder and said: "The older generation has their ideas, we can't change it, it doesn't matter, the old men always have to become old, the world is still ours, let's mix it up so much that we have the final say for a day, the old man just wants to say a few words, and he has no right, hahaha, at that time, we will make a big deal to show them." “
Guo Ping glanced to the east and said, "There are still thirty-five and a half days, and we will be able to see what kind of invincible method the camel city is." (To be continued......)
