The Turks are singing, tactful and desolate, Tuyuhun people are chanting, long and agitated, only Xue Yantuo people hey, hey yo knocking on the shield loudly echoed, must defeat the Tang people, must defeat the Tang people! The people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu disbanded their hair and took off their clothes, and they were ready to attack, and they would be the first to rush forward tonight.

The delay under Qiuci City was too long, the Tubo people were about to be unable to support it, Li Jing's attack was fast and vicious, Cheng Biting Jin's army dragged Songtsen Gampo to death in Dafeichuan, and Li Daozong took the opportunity to follow the Nanzhao into the warm valley of Tubo, Lu Dongzan's hometown was at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and could not withstand Li Daozong's wanton destruction.

The glory of the Turks has been consumed by the Anxi army, and if they cannot break through to Anxi, the Tubo people plan to retreat to the plateau and wait for a new opportunity.

The bitterness in Tushi's heart is unmatched, and he wants to establish his prestige among the Turks with a lot of confidence, who would have thought that all his confidence in this low-ranking city of Qiuzi will disappear with defeat after failure.

Tonight is the final battle, and Tu Shi is ready to use crowd tactics to end this painful and protracted war. The Tang people in the city do not seem to have surrendered or left, the wind rises, it is the day of the death battle, as an old opponent Tu Shi understands what those two words mean, tonight is a dead man's day, and the gate of hell of the king of Yama will be opened.

Guo Xiaoke was carried on the city wall by the guards, standing at the highest point like a flagpole, his back was still straight, no one would know that he had half a gun in his armor, Zhang Tingyue was standing beside him, they were all old comrades-in-arms, and there was no need to talk nonsense at this time.

It was very unexpected, the first to start the attack was the Tang army, and the gunpowder bags kept being thrown from the hot air balloons. A large fire shone in the crowd, and the wind was perfect for them tonight, and it was not too windy, and it took off from a distance and passed the Turkic camp. It's a pity that the effect is very limited, only bringing small casualties to the Turkic coalition army, and the remaining gunpowder was all handed over to Zhang Tingyue when it passed through Qiuzi City.

The semi-circular moon illuminated the Gobi Desert in a miserable white. The Turks were waiting for the moon to come out before they began to attack, this time everyone was very well prepared, the Hu people carried a huge wooden shield and slowly approached the city, and the tall siege vehicle behind it was also slowly approaching the ancient city of Qiuzi under the traction of cattle, this time the siege vehicle laid a large slope, once set up at the head of the city, the cavalry would attack the city along this slope.

The few remaining trebuchets were constantly throwing fire oil at the point where the soldiers were about to attack, showing them the way. Tang Jun, who was standing on the hot air balloon, looked at this spectacle in distraction, and Qiuzi City was like a miracle, illuminated by the surrounding flames as if it were day. The ant-like crowd on the city walls was constantly busy. But inside the city was as quiet as a ghost.

The captain at the head sighed helplessly as he looked at the crowd slowly approaching Qiuci City, who would have thought that the Turks would actually dig sixteen trenches in a row on the road that the army must pass, otherwise at this time, the camel city should have reached Qiuci City. "Captain, the city can't be defended, can it?" The young soldier beside him asked him in a whisper. "The battle hasn't been fought yet, only God knows whether it will be won or lost, but this time there are too many Turks." "Or how many people will we fall down and take with us?" The little soldier asked again during the period.

The captain raised his hand to fight, but when he saw the little soldier holding his head and sobbing in the corner of the bamboo basket, he put his hand down and said, "Who to save?" At this time, it relied on a breath of air to support it and did not collapse. If someone goes first, the morale of the army will be chaotic. All people will die. “

The wind became very small, the hot air balloon floated very slowly, and standing on a high place to watch his robe fight to the death, he was helpless, and this taste made the sergeant on the hot air balloon lose the last bit of courage to speak. "Elevation three, shoot up! The distance is five hundred steps. Destroy the enemy's wooden shield! The captain gave the order, and the eight bull crossbows at the head of the city raised their heads in unison, and with a loud buzz, countless gunpowder crossbow arrows drew a beautiful parabola with bright and extinguished sparks and landed accurately in the crowd, and with the thunderclap-like sound, the wooden shield array surnamed Zhaowu Jiu immediately dispersed. Broken wooden shields flew around, and the heads under the smashed wooden shields were bleeding. Some were lifted high by the blast and hung from spears probing outside.

Tu Shi saw Cheng Chumo's cavalry strangling the herdsmen on the periphery, but he couldn't do anything, if he wanted to break through the barbed wire and crossbow array arranged by Cheng Chumo, he needed to pay a very heavy price, a small Qiuzi City plus 10,000 rangers caused such a huge trouble to the huge Turkic coalition army, once the army entered the Central Plains with dense walls, it was not difficult to move an inch?

Cheng Chumo drove those herdsmen like a flock of sheep, and the army that robbed and killed Cheng Chumo bypassed the mountain pass to attack him, and in this short period of time, the herdsmen hidden behind the army were already bleeding.

Seeing that Tushi was indifferent to his killing, Cheng Chu sighed silently, and could only withdraw the crossbow array and flee into the distance again, otherwise he would be entangled by Tushi's cavalry, and he would be in danger of annihilation, and the number was too small, so he could only harass it on the periphery, and could not achieve the purpose of shaking Tushi's entire army.

Guo Ping's heart didn't think about anything now, just smashed the crossbow machine of the Eight Bull Crossbow over and over again, and released the ballista guns one by one, without aiming at all, and there were surging heads under his nose.

After the crossbow bolt raged in the crowd, it exploded with a bang, like causing a blood-colored wave in the sea of people, and disappeared in an instant, Chen Shu stood by his side, roaring every time he fired, breaking open the wound on his face, and his expression was hideous like a demon crawling out of hell.

Now those under the city wall are evil ghosts, staring at the blood-red eyes and screaming and rushing up, if they dare to retreat, they will be immediately beheaded by the red-clothed people in the crowd, a distance of five hundred steps, this is the distance between life and death.

The fire bombs ignited the siege engine, and the livestock overturned the tall siege engine in surprise and smashed into the crowd with a raging fire, leaving the soldiers with nowhere to hide and screaming in despair.

"One elevation, flat shooting, one hundred and fifty steps! Fire oil bomb ready! The lieutenant began to howl in a hoarse voice.

Guo Ping shot the gunpowder crossbow gun on the strong crossbow, and laboriously shook the handle of the eight-bull crossbow to start winding, the fire oil bullet is a thick hollow tube, after being shot out by the strong crossbow, it will roll in the air, and it will explode after landing, and the viscous grease inside will splash around with sparks, I heard that there is a lot of sugar added to it, Guo Ping doesn't know why there is sugar in the fire oil bomb, he only knows that the academy will never send sugar to the enemy.

After the fire oil bomb flew out, he finally knew why he added sugar to it, the dark blue flame was like a ghost fire from hell, it would burn wherever it fell, and those enemies holding the big shield were now like holding a torch, hurriedly throwing away the burning big shield in their hands, but they had to meet the fire oil bomb that fell again with their bare hands......

The enemy's footsteps were restrained a hundred paces away, but they didn't know that this was the most powerful distance of the Eight Bull Crossbow, under the threat of death, finally a person swung a knife and hacked the red-clothed man who pressed the formation to run backwards like a headless fly, and all the Tang troops invariably gave up the pursuit of those who ran backwards, and continued to aim their fire at the Turkic coalition forces who were moving forward.

Riots start in a small area, then they turn into big riots, and eventually into a mass rout, where not all people can face death calmly.

Guo Ping, Chen Shu wanted to jump up happily, but heard a roar like the sky and the earth cracking on the city wall behind him: "The city is broken!" ”

The two of them looked back in shock, only to see the dust in the direction of the back city, the yellow-black smoke column went straight to the sky, this is the city wall collapsed, rammed earth into a city, the Western Regions can hardly see the stone city, the red sandstone is not suitable for building a city, can only be used to mix soil and wheat straw into an earth wall, after withstanding more than 30 days of attack, finally completely collapsed.

The two glanced at each other, separated their eyes, and silently rewound the eight-bull crossbow, but Guo Ping's eight-bull crossbow rushed out, and Chen Shu's eight-bull crossbow turned inward.

Earth-shattering loud noises rang out one after another, it was the brothers in the back who ignited the gunpowder crossbow and caused a series of large explosions, half of the sky turned red, the flames rose into the air, and the fire bombs also exploded, and the entire houses in the back city were ignited by the fire in an instant, which looked very spectacular in the dark night.

Chen Shu took out a flat bottle from his boots, took a sip of it himself, handed it to Guo Ping and said, "If you earn it, you can live for two more hours, this fire can't be extinguished in two hours, right?" “

Guo Ping took the wine bottle, cleaned the bottle with his own water bladder fiercely, and then came to his mouth and took a big sip, and said to Chen Shu: "The last sip of wine in this life, it was taken out of the boots by the damn, bad luck!" "Don't dislike it, how strict your Lao Tzu's military order is, you don't know, if he knows that I drink on the military front, I can't run away with a military stick, and now I have wine to drink, so I won't be wordy."

Guo Ping smiled and said to Chen Shu: "Don't worry, I will never beat you again, he has already gone." ”

Chen Shu looked back at Guo Xiaoke, who was still standing on the city wall like a javelin, and pushed Guo Ping angrily and said: "Fart, the old man is standing on the head of the city to show his majesty, his waist is straighter than me, he won't die if I die." ”

Guo Ping wanted to pass Chen Shu's wine bottle again, knelt on the ground and poured the remaining wine in the bottle on the ground, kowtowed three times, and then smiled at the confused Chen Shu and said, "How do you know that my father died?" “

Chen Shu looked at Guo Xiaoke, whose hair was scattered by the wind, and then looked at Guo Ping, whose eyes were red, and shook his head to say that he didn't know. "Because my father has never bowed his head in his life, especially in the face of enemies, and now that his head is down, I can't think of any other reason than that he has passed away......"
