Chapter 702: Hostage
At dusk, the remnant sun is like blood.
The combined forces of Tibet and Turks suddenly attacked again.
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
"Whew-"
The drums of war roared and the trumpets whimpered, changing the colors of the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the birds flew away.
At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall of Qinzhou raised their eyes and looked into the distance, their eyes were calm, cold, and without cowardice, and the first battle in the morning not only played a majestic style, but also played morale, played self-confidence, and more importantly, the military salary and pension were issued in a timely manner, which made everyone feel very stable.
Anyway, there are a lot of gold, silver and jewels stolen by Tubo in the city, which is just to buy the hearts of the army.
Qin Huaidao felt the morale of the soldiers, looked at the noisy enemy camp, full of confidence, and suddenly the child shrank suddenly, and then the boss who opened his eyes stared at the front, and his face changed greatly.
The soldiers also widened their eyes and looked ahead incredulously, especially the Tang soldiers, whose hands holding their swords gurgled and their steel teeth clenched, and they all exploded in anger.
"The people? Women, children, and the elderly don't let go, these beasts. ”
"Uncle?"
Luo Wu said and looked at Qin Huaidao, his eyes full of anger.
"What's the hurry, didn't you already know?" Qin Huaidao said, his face was indifferent, although he received a message from Luo Zhangfeige at noon, informing the Tubo and Turks that they were arresting the common people, but he was still so angry when he saw it with his own eyes, he smashed his fist on the wall.
Luo Wu said angrily: "I knew it earlier, but it's another thing to see it, these brutes, Lao Tzu must hack to death that bastard of Qinling, and that old Turkic thing, otherwise, this breath will be difficult to eliminate." ”
"On the Qinling is mine." Fang Yiai said coldly.
"We have already made arrangements, what's the hurry, don't talk nonsense and interfere with Uncle's decision." Luo Ying looked at Luo Wu and reminded him, and his face was also blue with anger.
The battlefield fights, each by its own means, but the nature of the people has changed.
This is something that no hot-blooded soldier can endure or accept.
A moment later.
A large number of enemy troops escorted thousands of people over, and the Qinling Tomb was mixed in, and shouted: "King Han, don't you boast of benevolence and compassion for the people? Open the city gate and surrender, all in your name, otherwise you will be the murderer of these people, give you a stick of incense time to consider. ”
Qin Huaidao's eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at the people, if it was one person, he would die, but there were still tens of thousands of soldiers around him, what qualifications did he have to let everyone put down the knife and wait for death?
The sunset was like fire, enveloping Qin Huaidao, with an extra layer of light, it was a combination of extreme anger and extreme calmness, and it was the battle intent to rush up and kill the Quartet.
But it didn't move, like a statue of the god of war!
At this time, the strange voice of Yin and Yang in Qinling sounded again: "Why, I don't want to think about it, that prince will kill them all now, raise his knife!" ”
In the end, his voice rose sharply, like a demon roaring filial piety.
Countless people raised their swords and locked on the people in front of them, and the blade reflected the glow, bewitching and indifferent.
Many people wept, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, but the Tibetan soldiers were unmoved, indifferent as wolves, and their raised swords could be cut down at any time.
"No—I don't want to die."
A young man suddenly let out a hysterical scream and rushed forward, as if he could survive in this way.
On Qinling picked up the bow in the guard's hand, stretched out the bow and arrows, and made a decisive move.
The feather arrow flew away, shooting Qing Zhuang to the ground.
The people were stunned by indifferent and brutal methods.
On Qinling proudly threw the great merit to the guards, and shouted: "King Han, do you see it? If you don't open the city gate again, everyone will have to die, and there is not much time left for you, you can rest assured, as long as you surrender, the original promise will not change. ”
The means of sticks and sweet dates are skillful.
Qin Huaidao looked at this scene coldly, his heart ached, but he didn't lose his mind, the killing intent became stronger and stronger, and shouted: "Fellow villagers, this king Qin Huaidao swears with the glory of his ancestors that he will bury you thickly, and kill all these Tubo dog thieves to avenge you, and after half a year, take the head of the Tubo King Lu Dongzan dog to commemorate you, if you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”
The ancients valued filial piety, believed in ghosts and gods, and swore an oath to their ancestors, which was the highest oath.
When the people heard this, they stopped crying, panicked, and were not afraid, but looked at the city wall and remained silent.
On Qinling, he was inexplicably cold, realizing that he had done another stupid thing.
But the arrow has to be sent, if you don't take Qinzhou and kill the king of Han, you have to be, Tubo has to be wiped out, there is no room for maneuver, you can only go all the way to the black.
Just as he was about to speak, Qin Huaidao's roar came from his ears: "Turkic Khan, you old dog also listen, don't kill you, this king swears not to be a person, not to destroy you Turk, this king Wulei added his body, ashes and ashes, heaven and earth testify, old dog, no one can save you at the ends of the earth, I, Qin Huaidao said." ”
The heart of the Turkic Khan, who had been silent, jumped, this is - provoked a killing god.
On Qinling looked at the Khan with a complicated expression, and said solemnly, "Great Khan, you and I have no way to retreat, either he dies, or we die, let's fight." ”
"If you killed me, then fight." Khan said depressedly.
At the sound of the order, the drums of war roared again.
The people were pushed forward as meat shields, and the coalition forces hid behind.
This time, the Tibetan and Turkic coalition forces only attacked the east gate, but the other three gates also sent heavy troops to watch, and they were bound to attack at the first opportunity, and they could not be unguarded.
Qin Huaidao saw that the enemy was forced to attack and attack, but he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was alive, he would have a chance to rescue him, and shouted loudly: "Order, the original plan has been changed slightly, capture the prisoners as much as possible, and change the hostages." ”
"Understood!" Luo Wu hurriedly agreed, and called a few guards to give a few words of advice.
Several people nodded and ran to give orders.
The coalition forces are getting closer and closer, and they are already more than a stone's throw away, and they are about to reach the city wall.
The last time the enemy attacked there was no arrow, let it go in to fight, this time there were hostages who didn't know how to shoot arrows, everyone coldly watched the enemy get closer and closer, until countless enemy troops stopped, stretched their bows and pulled arrows, and according to the pre-agreed plan, they went into the wooden shed to hide.
Qin Huaidao also hid under the shed, his face gloomy and terrifying.
Unlike the last battle, this time the sword and shield were on the periphery, and the archers were in the middle of the crowd, and everyone was unmoved when they heard the sound of the ladder erected, staring at the wall battlements silently.
Soon, the coalition army climbed up frantically, without encountering any resistance, there were thousands of people as hostages under the city, and they were not afraid of throwing explosives bags from above, and they were very crazy and confident.
In the distance, Lun Qinling also looked at this scene excitedly, and said proudly to the Khan: "Great Khan, do you see, as long as the hostages are in hand, they will not dare to bomb, as long as they don't bomb, our people will be able to kill the city wall, and when the time comes, with the advantage of your and my troops, it will only be time to take Qinzhou." ”
"Makes sense, it's a good plan." The khan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really frightened by Qin Huaidao's previous oath, and if he didn't break through Qinzhou and kill Qin Huaidao, he felt uneasy.
On Qinling said more and more proudly: "After the warriors in front of the city are killed, the second batch can increase the manpower and strive to take Qinzhou in one go, how about it?" ”
"No problem, as long as the city gate is opened, Ben Khan will send 20,000 people to rush in, how about it?"
"Well, there won't be one less prince in that book." On Qinling said with satisfaction, his eyes lit up, and he saw Qinzhou attacked, and saw the Tubo flag planted on the city.
The two looked at each other and laughed in tacit understanding.
However, the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city could not laugh, and the entire city wall was closed every two meters, and it looked so strong that everyone had to jump to the place where it was not closed.
However, something even more terrible happened.
As soon as I landed, I felt a sharp pain in my calf, as if I had been slashed by a sharp blade, and I couldn't help but scream and fall to the ground, I felt that I was hooked by something, dragged by something, and was immediately shocked.
The people were dragged under the shed, and according to the original plan, they would be slashed and thrown out of the city, but Qin Huaidao temporarily modified the order, and everyone left the people in the city, and there would be special people below the city to arrest them, leaving prisoners for hostages.
There were more and more coalition troops jumping down, some of them couldn't slash and kill, the archers began to shoot, everyone squatted on the ground, found the right angle to shoot the enemy who had just climbed up, and shot directly down to stop the speed of climbing.
When all the people who jumped down were killed and left in the city, the archers stopped shooting and responded instead.
After receiving Luo Zhang's order for this tactic, Qin Huaidao deliberately discussed and determined it with officers at or above the division level of each army, and practiced it, and the cooperation was quite tacit.
At this moment, the city wall is like a gluttonous beast, no matter how much it jumps, it swallows it, no one is spared, and it keeps reaping, and some enemy soldiers who are too late to jump and run to the shed are also specially taken care of by the archers, shooting and falling.
But the enemy troops behind did not know it, and they kept climbing up and jumping down.
