Many of the things that looked powerful were not as powerful as he looked, and the reason why he had made himself so strong was only to hide the fatal weakness beneath his thick armor.
The collapse of the Persians began at this time, perhaps just a group of soldiers who are not a lot of soldiers, not many of them, but they are extremely valued, where the Tang army appears, the Persian army will retreat, but the Persian army selectively ignores what should really be valued, and the pair of eager eyes behind them is what they should really pay attention to.
On November 7 of the first year of Chenghe, heavy snow fell on the border of Poland and Tang, and the earth was covered in silver, and everywhere in sight, it was all snow-white, and on this day, there was a big event that was enough to be recorded in the history books, no, it should not be a big event, but it was not a small event, from the point of view of his number, it was not a big event, but from the perspective of his influence, it was indeed a big event.
On the seventh day of November in the first year of Chenghe, a total of 1,676 Persian refugees broke through the border pass, the Persian army was shocked, and the people were killed and killed, and the people were killed and wounded very seriously.
That is a record left in the history books, just a paragraph, but the specific process, but far from this few crosses can be expressed, more than 1,000 people collectively broke through, this is indeed a big thing enough to shake the whole country, but compared to the armed resistance of hundreds of thousands of people in Persia at that time, this break is indeed not a big thing, so the Persian border army did not care, but felt that there were a lot of people. There was hope for their food and money, and even for their official positions.
It was a day before the Persian Emperor's order not to pursue and kill the rebels who crossed the border line and arrived at the border pass, a whole village on the Persian border, a total of 1,676 men, women, and children, including one qiē men, women, and children, broke through the pass at dawn, causing chaos in the Persian border army camp and the cry of children. The roar of the soldiers, the screams of the women, the roar of the men, the neighing of the horses, tore the silence of the dawn.
The Datang Frontier Patrol Team patrolled around the clock after receiving Li Chengqian's order, but at dawn it was the time when the number of people was the lowest, and only three patrols with a total of 60 soldiers and horses remained at the checkpoint to monitor Yiqiē, and the leader was not Zhao Yanshou, but a brigade commander. The army he led was only patrolling, not ready for battle, in fact, no one would have imagined that so many people would flee at dawn after such a heavy snowfall.
According to the accounts of those who were later rescued from Persia, they originally marched quietly in groups draped in white cloth, but only because of the cry of a baby. attracted the attention of the Persian Night Watch, and then discovered the figure of this large number of eastward escapees. Then the whole army was mobilized, frantically slaughtering these escapees, and setting up a tight military formation on the border line to ensure that no one could get through here, and to ensure that the lives of these people could bring a large amount of food and meat to the barracks, which had been short of food for a long time.
The sudden shouting of killing startled the sixty Tang warriors, and the brigade commander surnamed Wang reacted quickly. Hurriedly sent someone to check the reason, to see if there were any more escapees from the east, and the sent out stumbled back with an eager face, shouting: "A lot, a lot." Almost all the Persian soldiers moved, blocked the borders, and all the black oppression was dispatched, at least thousands, thousands! ”
Wang Lushuai was shocked, and immediately sent someone back to the barracks to report the news to General Zhao Yanshou, and he himself rushed to the border with the rest of the soldiers to check the exact news, and when they climbed the hill and saw the situation in the Persian barracks, they were all stunned, what kind of scene was that? The scout was right, there were really thousands, men, women, old people, children, and even babies in swaddling clothes, and the crying was particularly loud......
Dawn has come, a slight glimmer of light appears on the horizon, white snow can reflect light, between heaven and earth, the red blood on the white snow is also particularly obvious, stimulating the eyes of every Tang soldier, the bright blade, the miserable screaming of defenseless Persian refugees, the desperate impact of the copper wall, the men, women and children who are desperately impacting the iron wall, the peasants who wield farm tools for hopeless resistance, and the Persian escapees who desperately want to hit the border......
The hands of all the Tang soldiers couldn't help but tremble, even if they didn't feel cold, even if they weren't the people of the Tang Dynasty, they were Persians, and even had many, many differences from the Han people, skin color, hair color, language, bloodline...... But they're human too......
Wang Lushuai roared, pulled out his sword and rushed down, rushing to the border blockade line, where there were many fences, row after row, a lot of wires, a lot of iron nails and pits, and the equipment used to deal with the enemy's soldiers and horses was used on the bodies of their own people, and they just wanted to eat their stomachs.
A country that cannot feed its people has no right to blame its people who want to be fed.
More than 50 Tang soldiers rushed to those blockade obstacles regardless of a qiē, roared loudly and stopped, slashed at those obstacles, the Persian army blocking the border turned around, looked at the group of Tang soldiers who attacked the border in amazement, and was very puzzled by their actions, but they still did not carry out a counterattack, just on guard, a Persian officer who could speak Chinese warned the Tang army not to continue to approach, otherwise it would be regarded as a declaration of war and would immediately counterattack.
The Tang soldiers who were stimulated by the cries and shouts couldn't listen to the words of those people at all, a soldier cried and raised his crossbow is an arrow, an arrow sealed his throat, and asked for the life of the Persian officer, the Persian officer fell down on his back, revealing the frightened and inexplicable Persian army behind, and was opened by this soldier, and the remaining Tang soldiers also raised their crossbows to shoot at those Persians, the Persians were not prepared at all, and quickly dispersed, Wang Lvshuai took the soldiers to break through the obstacles and hit inside.
After hearing the news that the Tang army attacked the Persian army, causing more than a dozen Persian soldiers to die and a large number of wounded, the commander of the Persian border army issued a counterattack order with a blue face, and it didn't matter if they were killed, all in all, they must not be allowed to take these traitors who fled east. That would be a shame for us, and as for the Tang Army taking the initiative to attack us, it is probably the problem of the Tang Army.
The Persian army began to counterattack the Tang army, but out of the previous terrifying memories of the Tang army, these Persian soldiers who were experts in the civil war and outsiders were still cautious, especially the coordination tactics of the Tang soldiers in small groups of five. As well as crying and shouting regardless of the momentum of a qiē, these Persian soldiers couldn't help but retreat, difficult to approach, this scene was recorded by someone with a heart, and then disclosed in the form of words, making people feel very ironic, it was actually foreign soldiers who protected their own people.
At this point, in addition to turning these people into the people of the Tang Dynasty. There is no other way.
Wang Lushuai led the soldiers and civilians to charge, and the Persians were in a mess, but the number was too small to break through the Persian defense line, seeing the back, the Persian refugees were brutally slaughtered, but they could not rush through, Wang Lvshuai gritted his teeth. He took out the gunpowder cartridge on his body and was about to burn them with jade. But suddenly I heard an angry shout behind him: "Get down all down!" ”
Chinese! Familiar sounds!
Wang Lvshuai shouted like a launch: "No! Get down all of them! "Dozens of soldiers hula lala all lay down, and as soon as they lay down, seven or eight eight-oxen crossbow arrows roared, easily destroying the direction of the Persians with shields, piercing a gap, and then followed. It is the order of the decisive battle: "All the army fights hand-to-hand!" Fight to the death! No retreat without an order! ”
Zhao Yanshou came with two hundred and fifty patrol soldiers who were following him, as well as seven eight-bull crossbows, which were about to be brought back to the barracks for maintenance, and as a result, they were directly pulled over. Persians can't understand Chinese, so they don't have to worry about getting hurt by mistake.
Hearing about the tragic behavior of the Persian soldiers, Zhao Yanshou was furious, quickly led the troops to come, and asked the herald to immediately go to the barracks to transfer troops to support, the Persian border army has at least 3,000 people, and their combined strength of less than 300 people is really difficult to fight, but it is these 300 people who broke through the blockade and rushed to the place where the Persian soldiers surrounded and killed the Persian refugees fleeing eastward, raised their swords and joined the war group, protecting those unarmed refugees.
At this point, there is no need to say anything, the Persian refugees found that it was not their own people who came to save them, but the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, there were not many of them, but everyone was very brave and brandished their swords, and one person still would not retreat in the face of several Persian soldiers, and several strong generals brandished their sabers and fought desperately, and did not forget to order the soldiers behind to kill the Persian soldiers who were slaughtering refugees, and then protect those refugees.
A group of soldiers gathered those Persian refugees together, and then protected them, Zhao Yanshou personally led people to fight to the death with those Persian border guards, but he didn't take a step back, and the Tang army, which was at a disadvantage in numbers, was soon forced to retreat, and he couldn't open the route to Tang Realm at all, Zhao Yanshou gritted his teeth and stared at the Persian soldiers who were approaching step by step, hating himself for not bringing more soldiers and horses, he had already seen those eight-bull crossbowmen destroy the eight-bull crossbows, and pulled out their swords to kill them, but it was a drop in the bucket.
The soldiers of the Tang army died in battle, and were stabbed through the body by a few spears and died, and the Persians began to ignore the killers of one qiē, and the Tang army naturally did not show weakness.
In the end, there were only more than 100 Tang soldiers left holding swords to form a formation, under the leadership of the injured Zhao Yanshou, desperately protecting the few remaining Persian refugees behind them, in front of them were piles of corpses, the main general of the Persian border guards stood up with a blue face, loudly reprimanded the Tang army for breaking the agreement between the two countries, first moved, killed a lot of Persian soldiers, but in line with the friendly agreement between the two countries, as long as the Tang army leaves here now, he promised not to put cold arrows in his back.
Zhao Yanshou sneered and pointed to the refugees behind him, and said that we must take them with us, we will leave immediately as if nothing had happened, otherwise, if you continue to kill, I will fight to the death and not retreat!
The face of the Persian general gradually distorted, and with an order, countless Persian archers were tense, aiming at the Tang army and the Persian refugees, Zhao Yanshou raised his sword and stood up, and then, the wounded and exhausted Tang soldiers all stood up, protected the Persian refugees behind them, raised their weapons, and said that they would rather die than give in, the Persian general gritted his teeth and was about to wave his hand to release the arrow, but a violent explosion suddenly sounded behind him, and there was a strong sense of vibration, and when he looked back, the military camp was already in a sea of fire, Not far from the border of the Tang Dynasty, fluttering flags appeared.
A Xuanjia general rode a snow-white war horse and walked in front of the army, majestic, holding a big gun, followed by thousands of troops and horses, the momentum was like a rainbow, and a row of black holes appeared in their field of vision, Zhao Yanshou had good eyes, and when he saw it, he shouted excitedly: "Du Shuai!" It's Du Shuai! Du Shuai is here! (My novel "Zhenguan Raiders" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
