Chapter 204: Don't Attack
Qu Tu took the lead and drove his horse to the city gate.
Seeing this, the Sui soldiers behind chased after a brief hesitation.
"Woo Woo ......"
A rain of arrows poured down and plunged mercilessly into the flesh.
Qu Tutong swung the long-handled broadsword in his hand so impenetrable that several stray arrows brushed past him, blood spilling into the soil.
It didn't take long for Qu Tutong to realize that something was wrong, his knife had already cut several cuts.
"Radiant ......"
The three iron arrows collided with the blades and sparked, and the tips of the blades plunged into the soil along with the sparks.
Qu Tutong was startled, his wrist shook, and another iron arrow grazed the hilt of the knife and shot him in the shoulder.
He turned his head to look over his shoulder in disbelief, and for a moment, he swung the broken knife again, and drove his horse back.
"General, I'll cover you."
The two generals waved their horse lances to take Qu Tutong's place, and Qu Tutong took the opportunity to leave the firing range.
Under the strong attack of the repeater, the Sui army had to withdraw from its range and stand outside the city, looking at the wall from afar that they had not conquered for a long time.
After two quarters of an hour of silence, Li Jing ordered a thousand cavalry to leave the city.
"Dada~"
There was a faint hissing over the vast plain, and as the city gates opened, the hissing became clearer and louder.
Here they come, here they come.
The chaotic sound of horses' hooves was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the Sui soldiers, overwhelming them.
Their hands gripping the reins tightened until their palms were sweaty, and they couldn't control their steps back.
Although the rebels on the opposite side didn't look at much, although they didn't shout or speak, they just rushed forward silently, but the Sui army felt a strong pressure coming towards them.
This kind of pressure is the same as the pressure brought to them by Zhuge Repeater just now, which makes people feel a sense of powerlessness.
Just when the Sui army thought that the rebels would attack head-on and were on guard, the rebels suddenly stopped in front of the pile of corpses.
The next moment, more than a thousand rebels jumped off their horses and began to pick up the iron arrows on the ground and the corpses.
Qu Tutong and all the Sui soldiers were immediately dumbfounded.
Don't attack?
Just going out of town to pick up arrows?
"Good opportunity." Qu Tutong immediately ordered: "Attack." ”
The cavalry at the front swarmed up, and the archers behind quickly advanced towards the rebels, firing arrows of vengeance as soon as they came within range.
The rebels turned a blind eye to these and concentrated on picking up the arrows.
Soon, the iron arrows in front of them were picked up, and they scattered to both sides, revealing a large avenue in the middle.
The Xuanjia warrior wearing the bright light armor rushed out, and at the same time, the crossbow arrows in his hands were fired continuously.
At this time, the archers of the Sui army were only one step away from entering the range of the shot, and only one step away, their arrows could be shot into the body of the righteous army.
But they couldn't go any further.
Because by the time they were about to let go, the arrow had already plunged into their bodies.
The archer fell to the ground.
The Xuanjia army quickly put away the bow and crossbow, lifted the horse lance, and arrived in front of the Sui cavalry in the blink of an eye.
"Bang~"
"Ah~"
With screams, the leading cavalry fell in a pool of blood.
The two sides were caught in a scuffle.
Li Jiancheng stood on the city wall, watching hundreds of Xuanjia troops and tens of thousands of Sui troops fighting head-on, and his heart hung in the air.
"Shall we send reinforcements?" Liu Wenjing hesitated and asked.
Li Jing didn't move: "No." ”
Liu Wenjing glanced at Li Jiancheng, who was silent, and then looked under the city wall.
In just a moment, the Xuanjia army had already broken up the formation of the Sui army, rushing left and right, galloping back and forth, as if entering no man's land.
Wherever the Xuanjia army passed, the men and horses fell to the ground, and the blood flowed like a river.
The smell of blood wafted in the wind, gradually wafted into the city walls, and penetrated into the nostrils of the people of Tongguan.
The battle lasted two hours and ended with a crushing defeat for the Sui army.
Back at the camp, Qu Tutong looked at the scarred and panicked soldiers, and suddenly a trace of despair rose from the bottom of his heart.
In just two hours, the enemy tortured and killed tens of thousands of his soldiers with hundreds of cavalry, and planted a seed of fear in the hearts of the soldiers.
With such terrifying combat power and powerful equipment, how can they be able to defeat them?
Several sieges of the city were unsuccessful, and today they fled in a crushing defeat, their morale was greatly reduced, and the morale of the army was shaken.
If this continues, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be scattered, and the soldiers will defect and leave.
Qu Tutong immediately issued an order: "The army is resting, and no one is allowed to act rashly." ”
The general limped over and looked at Qu Tutong's shoulder worriedly: "General, I called a military doctor to come over, let's treat the wounds first." ”
Qu Tutong glanced at the arrow on his shoulder and walked into the big tent in silence.
Looking at the unharmed Xuanjia Army, the righteous army was boiling.
They cheered and shouted, and the fear and sadness of the death of their comrades-in-arms and the imminent destruction of the city in the past few days were completely dissipated in an instant, and hope filled their hearts again.
Li Jiancheng was very happy and announced loudly: "Tonight, we will hold a celebration banquet to celebrate our victory, and also to wash the dust for the arrival of the Xuanjia Army." ”
"Good, good, good......" the soldiers responded enthusiastically.
————
Qu Tutong made a temporary truce, but the army was still eyeing the city outside Tongguan.
When the news reached Feng Yijun, Li Yuan was overjoyed: "The Xuanjia Army really didn't disappoint me. ”
Wang Yu smiled and said nothing, this is just the beginning, in the future, the Xuanjia army will become stronger and stronger, and it will become stronger and stronger.
She is one step closer to her dream.
On the same day, news came from Weinan that Dou Liang had conquered dozens of counties in Weinan.
And Li Shimin has also crossed the Weishui and entered the hinterland of Weibei.
Ever since she knew that Yuan Tiangang had a corgi, Wang Yu had been thinking about inviting Yuan Tiangang over, or she would find a way to find Yuan Tiangang.
No matter what she does, she must first help Li Yuan take Chang'an and put down the rebellion.
The world is decided, and she can go wherever she wants.
"Huhu~"
Wang Yu withdrew his thoughts from the obsession of the corgi, turned his head to look behind him, and saw that Daquan was deep and shallow, as if he would fall down at any time, and shouted loudly: "Speed up." ”
"Ahh
"Still speeding up? I...... No more. Daquan gasped heavily, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand to wipe his sweat.
Wang Yu turned around, walked backwards, and said to him: "A man can't say no, I can do it as a child, and you must do it as a man." ”
Daquan was deeply tired: "I ...... I've been with you since the end of the day...... Practice, run...... I practiced for five hours a day......
"It's been ten days...... Can't you just take a day off? ”
"Okay, rest for a quarter of an hour." Wang Yu stopped.
Daquan collapsed to the ground at once, sweating profusely, as if he had been salvaged from the lake.
Wang Yu walked up to him, her hair was not messy, she was not panting, only her ruddy little face was covered with a thin layer of fine sweat, indicating that she had really run just now.
Daquan looked up at her face, and a strong sense of frustration surged in his heart: "...... Why do you ...... So easy? ”
Wang Yu curled the corners of his lips: "Because I have always insisted on practicing, I have never stopped." ”
After a pause, he said, "Of course, I didn't practice when I was sick and unconscious. ”
Daquan: "......"
Wang Yu teased: "If you can hold on for three months, you can be as easy as me."
"If you can hold out for a year, you can enter the Xuanjia Army."
Xuanjia Army?
Daquan jumped up and ran away: "Accelerate, accelerate......"
Wang Yu: "......"
