"Newspaper—"

Suddenly, a general galloped on horseback, covered in blood.

The Turkic Khan recognized the other party at a glance as a member of the grain guard, the commander of the thousand, motioned for the intercepting guards to let him go, beckoned the other party to come over, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Qi Qi Khan, grain and grass, grain and grass were burned by the imperial army." The other party yelled with a sad face.

"What, Imperial Army, how is this possible?" The Khan was taken aback and stared at the other in disbelief, hoping to see that the other was lying.

If the food is gone, it will be gone, but if the court loses its trust and starts to do it, the consequences are very serious, rushing up, grabbing the other party's collar and asking, "Is this true?" ”

The other party swore and said: "Great Khan, how dare you lie at the end of such a big event?" There are more than 30,000 people on the other side, and our army is only 20,000, and it happened suddenly, so it can't be stopped at all, by the way, they still shout what kind of imperial court might, holy majesty and the like, it must be the imperial court army. ”

As soon as Qinling heard that it was the imperial army, he instinctively absolutely did not right, and stepped forward and said: "Khan, you and I know how the food came from, not to mention that you and I have not won or lost with the king of Han, it is too unwise to do it at this time, what the court wants to do most now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, I am afraid that it is the Hanzhou army fake, don't forget that the Hanzhou army has a cavalry outside, and it was encountered when the prisoners were captured." ”

The khan also felt that it was unlikely, after all, the food source was special, since it was given, there was no reason to send people to burn it, it should be fake, but the problem was that the food was gone, and the battle was already unfavorable, once the news spread, the army's morale would definitely be unstable, what to take to continue the attack?

What's more, if there is no food, what will the soldiers eat? You can't charge on an empty stomach, can you?

At this moment, the Turkic Khan had the idea of retreating.

When Qin Ling saw that the khan was like withdrawing from the army, he was immediately anxious, but his face was light, and he calmly drew cakes: "Khan, as long as you attack as planned and take Qinzhou tonight, everything is not a problem, there is one thing that the khan may not know, this prince has come all the way, and the captured grain, grass, and property are all in the city, which is enough for 200,000 troops to eat horses and chew for two or three months, and you and I will be half after the city is broken, how about it?" ”

"Are you sure?" The Khan's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved.

The withdrawal of troops may not be able to live, but capturing the city and killing the King of Han is enough to deter all parties, and there is still food to feed the soldiers, and there are no worries, which is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Of course!" On Qinling's face was determined.

"Then fight to the end."

"The Great Khan is wise!"

At the sound of the order, the third group of siege troops, ready to go, rushed forward, howling like hyenas foraging for food.

But the city is like a terrible beast that can never be fed, swallowing up all the people who climb up, indifferent, silent, and weirdly making people's scalps tingle.

The battle was fought until dusk, under the blood-red sunset, the city was a little more demonic, and the city walls turned red, reflecting the red light of the sunset, which became more and more demonic and weird.

Suddenly the drums of war rang out in the city.

The soldiers under the shed suddenly appeared and slew the enemy on the city wall, and blocked the ladder to the death, not giving anyone a chance to climb up, and an army full of food and drink rushed up to take over the defense of the city wall, and the tired soldiers helped each other down to the city, eating, healing, resting, and in an orderly manner.

At this point, everyone is already familiar with the rhythm, and no one is afraid or flustered.

Qin Huaidao also withdrew with the team, there was Fang Yiai at the east gate, Luo Ying at the west gate, and they were fighting according to the rhythm, and the enemy army had no tricks, so he was very relieved, and sat with the soldiers to eat meat, talking and laughing.

The soldiers looked at the approachable King Han, and they were all very down-to-earth.

The sky is gradually darkening, but the coalition forces still show no signs of stopping, and they are determined to break the city.

Qin Huaidao had a large number of torches made out of war horse grease, illuminating the city wall as bright as day, and the bright light brought courage and hope to the soldiers, and everyone continued to fight.

……

In front of the coalition camp.

On Qinling and the Khan looked ahead, under the dark night, but the fire was lit up above the city, like a ghost city devouring the people who climbed up, and let out bursts of screams, like ghosts receiving various punishments in the eighteenth layer of hell were shouting, making people's scalps tingle.

I see people flocking to the top, but I don't see hope, I don't see the odds.

This feeling makes people desperate, frightened.

The corners of his eyes twitched when he saw it, but there was really no way out, so he could only fight hard and hold on.

The Turkic Khan saw the same heart like a knife, that is his most courageous warrior, is his own reliance, once all killed, even if half of the battle is killed, he will not be able to return to the Turks, but at this time the withdrawal is also not good, the coalition forces together still have a strength advantage, once separated, they will inevitably be pursued and killed by the Tang army along the way, and they will definitely die.

Guilt, panic, regret, unwillingness, confusion, and all kinds of negative emotions come to mind.

At this moment, the Turkic Khan remembered the strong man.

Will the Turks become a follower of the Xiongnu?

Thinking of this, the Turkic Khan's heart became more and more flustered, and he retreated again, glanced at the Lunqin Tomb who was staring ahead, and gradually made a decision in his heart.

On Qinling didn't find the Khan's abnormality, watching another army all disappear into the city, his heart was dripping blood, but as soon as he gritted his teeth and waved his big hand, another 5,000-strong infantry rushed up, like a desperate gambler, and said to the Khan: "Great Khan, after a day of fighting, the Hanzhou army has never used that terrible weapon, it should be gone, how about letting people break through the city gate?" ”

"You can try!" The khan didn't want to run like this, and he didn't dare, for fear that Tubo would turn against him in a hurry, and if he wanted to run, he had to wait for the third watch in the middle of the night to run quietly.

Soon, a number of people rushed forward with huge ramming logs, surrounded by an archer for cover.

However, there was still no one to stop them from shooting arrows, and everyone was allowed to get closer. It's like bringing the ladder closer.

"Winter!"

The wood slammed into the city gate, and the gate shook and crumbled.

Fang Yiai was very disdainful when she saw this scene, and asked people to prepare explosives bags to stand by, while sending someone to tell Qin Huaidao.

When Qin Huaidao heard this, he began to hit the door, and only hit the east gate and the north gate, but the south gate and the west gate also had to be guarded, so he went to remind the garrison troops and hurried to the east gate.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

The sound of banging on the door was dull and powerful, but no one was afraid, one by one, they aimed their bows and arrows at the city gate, last time they could defend it, and this time everyone was still confident that they could.

"Luo Wu, transfer a battalion of people to carry grenades and mines on the city wall, and wait for our orders."

"Understood, I'll take command myself." Luo Wu agreed and hurriedly went to arrange.

Grenades and mines have been hidden, and it's time for the enemy to see and see.

Qin Huaidao's heart was full of blood, his fighting intent was burning, and he shouted: "Listen to it, let it come in and aim at the point to fight, we have thousands of archers here, come and kill as many as you want." ”

"Obey!" Everyone responded with a smile on their faces, very relaxed.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the city gate was slammed open, and the force was so great that the people who rushed in could not stop and rushed in.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Feathered arrows flew away, killing dozens of people to the ground.

But unlike the previous attack, this time it was the infantry who came in, with shields in front to defend against arrows, the shields were dense, even the top was covered, followed by archers to shoot arrows to cover, there were no cavalry.

Qin Huaidao snorted coldly when he saw this scene, but he was smart, but so what?

The city gate cave is narrow, and it is best suited for grenades.

The next moment, Qin Huaidao took a grenade from a guard next to him, lit it, and threw it over.

The grenade smashed into the shield and rolled to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a terrifying shockwave lifted the shield away, revealing a large gap, and countless people were blown to the ground, screaming heartbreakingly.

But it's not over yet, Qin Huaidao calmly shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

The soldiers who had already drawn their bows made a decisive move and shot at the gap.

"Ahhh

The enemy troops fell one after another, the gap widened, but the arrows did not stop, and they continued to shoot, blocking the enemy troops at the city gate, and the enemies killed retreated one after another, but there were more people behind, swarming, crowding, and a massive stampede.

"Rush up, quick, rush up."

"Can't retreat, rush forward!"

The enemy troops behind shouted one after another, and the leading soldiers even slashed and suppressed them.

You can't retreat, you can't advance.

After the enemy soldiers wailed and were in a mess, and after being slashed and slaughtered, everyone mustered up courage and rushed forward with their shields, trying to rush out of the city gate with speed, but they were greeted by a huge pit, full of undried blood, and the pungent smell of blood made the scalp tingle.

Everyone instinctively wanted to run on both sides, but the paths left on both sides were not wide, and only one person could pass, and everyone fought one after another, causing a large area to be crowded and falling into a big pit.
