Chapter 125: Yumen Snow (7)
Defending the city until now, the arrows are indeed about to bottom out.
"How many more?"
Li Jiyan asked without looking back. Zhang Yitan replied:
"More than 3,000."
"Where's Studge?"
"Not much. Stewart asked me if there was anything you could do. ”
This is really terrible news, but it came at this critical time. Li Jiyan looked up at the sky, looked down at the ant-like Tubo soldiers, spat dry saliva, and then asked:
"Is there enough boiling oil for rolling stone and sasswood?"
"That's enough."
"Okay, go and tell General Shi that I plan to concentrate the arrows in the hands of soldiers with good archery skills. Tell General Shi that the Tibetans must not be allowed to see that our arrows are no longer enough. Let the archers on his side stop after no one shoots two more arrows, let the Tibetan soldiers approach, and never shoot arrows without my signal. In this round, let's rely on other guys to beat the Tubo people. ”
Zhang Yitan didn't know why, but he still ran to tell Shi Jingfeng. The closures have been separated, and ropes are pulled between the segments to facilitate the passage of personnel. Zhang Yitan slipped along the rope to Shi Jingfeng and conveyed Li Jiyan's meaning. Shi Jingfeng is a hero who crisscrosses the grassland, but when it comes to defending the city, he is really not as good as Li Jiyan, although he doesn't understand what Li Jiyan means, Shi Jingfeng still ordered that no more shots should be shot after an arrow is fired.
The Tubo people, who had been hiding behind their shields and trembling forward, suddenly found that the rain of arrows above their heads had thinned, and they were a little surprised and a little uneasy at the same time. Because * had played such a trick before, when shooting arrows, he suddenly stopped, so that the Tubo soldiers felt that *'s arrows had been shot, and when the Tubo army relaxed its vigilance and came out from behind the shield to gather together, there was a sudden rain of arrows, causing a lot of casualties, so although the * on the closed * had stopped archery, the Tubo army still did not dare to take it lightly, and still advanced slowly with the shield.
Shi Jingfeng wiped his sweat and scolded:
"Look at these grandsons, they were deceived by Jiyan so badly that they didn't dare to move."
The Tibetan soldiers were afraid that this was another death trap, but the generals under the rage couldn't care so much, there was really a trap in front of them, and they had to break through. The rare* rain of arrows is gone, so why should I try it and rush over. So, under the kicking and scolding of the generals, the Tibetan soldiers bravely rushed up.
Five steps, * the rain of arrows did not fall.
Ten steps, * the rain of arrows still do not know where.
Twenty steps, there were already bold Tibetan soldiers who lowered their shields.
Fifty steps to go, and there was still no movement. His own archers exhaled evil and shot their arrows towards the city. Looking up, you can see the sparks stirred up by the iron arrows, and there is still not a shadow of the * that used to stand at the battlement.
*'s arrows are gone, *'s arrows are really gone!
The Tibetan soldiers couldn't help but make noise, and more and more soldiers lowered their shields and began to shout and curse. The siege ladders were also successfully set up at the gate.
"General, look, *'s arrows are really gone, gone!"
The lieutenant shouted excitedly. Every time I fought with *, * was always enviably equipped with arrows that could not be used up, which made the Tibetan army suffer. Now* if there are really no arrows, doesn't that mean that the tiger has no teeth and the lion has no claws?
Shang Tazang was not as excited as his generals, his hands were only slightly trembling, but his eyes were staring straight at the close, and he muttered:
"Don't be too happy too soon, beware of the tricks of the Tang people."
With the beginning of the siege of the Tibetan army, the bows and arrows for cover were much more sparse, and it was not until the Tubo soldiers at the front were about to climb to the threshold that * emerged from behind the cover. One of the Tubo soldiers who climbed the fastest was smashed down by the sassafras that suddenly rolled down from the battlement, which made the distant observer Shang Tazang can't help but smash his thigh.
More and more * soldiers poured out and stabbed the climbing Tibetan soldiers with lances, spears, and spears. More than a hundred stones kept rolling down from the gate, and each blow could smash a few unlucky ghosts into meat sauce, and each blow was like smashing on Shang Tazang's heart. From time to time, * soldiers were shot down by the archers of the Tibetan army and fell from the city, but immediately new soldiers stood on the breach.
Fifteen hid behind the female wall, and knocked away the weapon of a Tibetan soldier with one shot, and stabbed the Tibetan soldier with his hand again, and when he pulled out the tip of the spear, the Tibetan soldier also fell down from the ladder. This slave, who used to only herd sheep, is now very skilled in killing people, and as soon as he finished packing one, fifteen guns pierced the second. But this time Fifteen met the enemy, it was an extremely dexterous Tubo soldier, after flashing Fifteen's thrust, he stretched out a hand and grabbed Fifteen's gun. Fifteen dragged back, but the Tubo soldier climbed up with the pull of Fifteen. Seeing that the Tibetan soldier was about to close, Fifteen could even see the cold light of the steel knife held in the mouth of the Tibetan soldier. At this time, a voice roared:
"Let go!"
The voice was so familiar, Fifteen subconsciously let go of his hand, and the Tubo soldier who was climbing lost his balance and fell on his back like a big bird. Fifteen no longer has weapons, so naturally there are comrades in his place. Fifteen wiped a handful of sweat and went to look for the voice just now, but saw Captain Li standing on the buttress beside him, holding a simple knife in his hand, cutting off half of the head of a Tubo soldier who had just emerged from his head, and throwing a spear that had just been taken down at his feet.
Fifteen picked up another spear from the side, Mu Zhu's eyes moved, and the red light floated in front of him, and Fifteen seemed to remember something, and turned his head and ran to the side. By the time Fifteen returned, the place he was standing in had already changed. Fifteen shouted:
"Get out of the way, don't touch my gun."
Fifteen's spear drilled out of the crack, this gun had a black head, it looked like other guns, and the speed of stabbing out was slow, not at all like Fifteen's usual style. Not only were the fifteenth comrades surprised, but even the Tubo people who stabbed at him secretly laughed and picked up a big bargain, and reached out to catch the fifteenth black gun, and as a result-
With an "ah", the Tubo soldiers spread their hands and fell down from the ladder, bringing down the soldiers behind them. Fifteen and one guns were shot far and near, and they actually hit the Tubo soldiers one after another without effort. Fifteen, the battlement they guarded, was suddenly empty.
"Fifteen, what's weird?"
Fifteen Han smiled and said:
"It's been roasted on the fire!"
Not only did the fifteenth side* gain the upper hand, but the other battlements* also took advantage of the geographical advantage to defeat the Tubo army. Chantazan looked at it from afar, and ordered in chagrin:
"Shoot, shoot and suppress them!"
Before the Tibetan army that had been driven down had not dispersed, the newly arrived Tibetan army began to hold their horses and shoot unscrupulously at Guanshang, and the sudden rain of arrows shot down many soldiers who were too late to be prepared. Shi Jingfeng bent down and said:
"You can't be beaten like this!"
Following the rope, Shi Jingfeng went to Li Jiyan, found Li Jiyan, and said:
"You can't let the other party shoot arrows to kill us like this, let them up, kill them, and give them a hard beating."
Li Jiyan nodded and said:
"I think so too, you go back and prepare the archers, and wait until you paralyze the Tibetan fans, and then kill and wound them. After this blow, even if we don't have any arrows, Shang Tazang won't dare to let go of it easily. ”
Shi Jingfeng nodded in agreement, and then followed the rope back to his defensive line.
After the pass, Shang Tazang still stayed in place, and the deputy general asked:
"General, the Tang people have no arrows, do we want the army to press on and attack the pass?"
Chantazan said:
"It's better for the people in front to continue the attack and test it again. The Tang people are too cunning, so be careful to do it. ”
Zhang Yitan stretched out his head, turned back to Li Jiyan and said:
"General, the number of Tibetans has not increased."
This cunning Shantazan! Li Jiyan looked at Shi Jingfeng opposite, asked with his eyes if he wanted to change the plan and launch it in advance, but Shi Jingfeng made a gesture to continue the original plan.
This means that at least two enemy attacks must be repelled before there is a chance to turn the tide. Can the closed soldiers withstand it?
Looking at Shi Jingfeng, Li Jiyan also responded with a resolute look and clenched the Pu knife in his hand.
