Chapter 823: Hostage Threat
Inside the city gates.
The soldiers rushed up and slashed and killed, caught the Turkic cavalry by surprise, and put down dozens of people in just a moment, unstoppable, and screamed again and again.
But the Turkic cavalry quickly reacted, afraid that the explosion they had never seen before would be gone, but the people were not afraid, and they were stimulated by the screams of their companions, and jumped off their horses one by one and pounced on them.
The stopped cavalry was not as nimble as the infantry, let alone crowded together.
"Array!" The captain yelled.
A team of more than 50 people quickly lined up in three or three, the shield in front, no need to fight, as long as the Turkic attack was blocked, the spear was behind, take the opportunity to stab, the enemy was blocked out of the big shield, do not have to worry about being killed, stabbed fast and ruthlessly, and picked the fatal part.
There are fish that slip through the net and squeeze into the shield, and the sword soldiers rush up to make up for the kill.
This kind of formation can not only be a group of three, cooperate with the fight, but also form a whole, especially the big shields are connected together, like a shield wall, indestructible.
This kind of three-three formation required by the fusion of cold weapons must be practiced and mastered by every unit of the Hanzhou Army.
A team, more than 50 people, is like a tacit cooperation, close killing machine, blocking hundreds of Turkic soldiers to kill, not retreating at all, steady as a rock.
In just a few moments, the ground was full of corpses, and blood stained the ground.
The Turks were also red-eyed, quickly dispersed, and outflanked from both sides.
The Hanzhou army was still too small to take care of it on all sides, so the captain decisively ordered: "Retreat!" ”
The soldiers fought and retreated, and soon came to the gate of the city, so that they only had to face the enemy in front of them, and the captain shouted the order: "Stop! ”
The team stopped, the big shield fell to the ground, and the body resisted to the death.
The spear stabbed again, like a poisonous snake that suddenly appeared in the jungle and tore it fiercely.
"Ahh
"My eyes!"
Screams and wails rang out one after another, terrible, panicked, and frightened.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Behind him came the roar of horses' hooves, and the army entered.
The captain glanced back and saw that his own people had rushed to the gate of the city, and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, our people have rushed up, retreat to both sides!" ”
Everyone tacitly retreated quickly to both sides, and let go of the city gate.
The cavalry roared and pushed sideways with the momentum of crushing everything.
"Ahh
The screams and wails suddenly rang out, and countless Turkic soldiers were knocked away by their horses, and the rest of the people lost their will to fight, and fled by the way, and many of them didn't even know where to throw their weapons.
On the top of the city.
Ashina Zan's brain was buzzing when he saw this scene, it was very unreal—the city gate was lost like this? And what was that loud noise?
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"
A hurried shout made Ashina gradually react, and shouted: "Quick, quickly counterattack, shoot arrows at the enemies who rush into the city, and kill them." ”
The voice was sharp, trembling, with a certain panic.
As soon as the city gate was broken, the defenders had no support, and the next thing was brutal hand-to-hand combat, fighting for willpower and strength.
How can a royal family be buried here?
But he was unwilling to retreat like this, and shouted: "Order all armies to fight to the death!" ”
The herald quickly ran to deliver the order.
"Newspaper—"
One of them rushed up and shouted eagerly: "The north gate has been breached, and the opponent has entered." ”
"Boom!"
As soon as the words fell, two earth-shattering explosions sounded, and the earth trembled.
Ashina Zan's face changed greatly when he heard the roar, and he had a little guess in his heart when he thought of the previous explosion, and hurriedly ordered: "Go, tell the city gate guards that the city gate must be taken back, otherwise it will be killed!" ”
As soon as the city gate is lost, the general trend has gone, and the military spirit will inevitably fluctuate.
Ashina Zanluo didn't know if the strong order could save the defeat, and looked out of the city unwillingly, a large number of Hanzhou troops were entering the city in an orderly manner, and the archers on his side were shooting arrows at the enemy troops in the city, and they couldn't take care of the outside of the city, what should I do?
A very hot thought suddenly came to my mind.
"Someone!"
The deputy commander of the pro-army hurriedly rushed up.
"Bring all the Tang slaves with this king." Ashina Zanzan ordered loudly, while hurrying towards the city, the city gate was lost, there was no way out, and if he didn't save himself, he would definitely die.
The pro-army pressed the Tang slaves and hurriedly followed, heading straight to the city gate.
Xue Wanche happened to bring the troops in, and when he saw the panicked Tang people and Turkic soldiers, he decisively stopped and shouted: "Interpreter, come up and answer!" ”
An interpreter squeezed through the crowd and stepped forward to salute solemnly.
"Ask them what they want to do?" Xue Wanche ordered coldly, although he had already guessed in his heart, he still wanted to verify it, while quickly thinking about countermeasures.
The interpreter stepped forward to exchange a few words with Ashina Zan, hurriedly returned, and hurriedly said: "General, the other party asks for negotiations, as long as we withdraw from the city and ensure that the hostages do not die, otherwise they will all be killed." ”
"Tell him, drop your weapons and hostages, and Lao Tzu will allow them to leave." Xue Wanche said coldly.
The interpreter went up and said a few words, and then came back: "General, the other party does not agree." ”
"That's a piece of!" Xue Wanche's hot temper came up, and as soon as the horse lance pointed out, he was about to give an attack order, the lives of the people are their lives, and the lives of the soldiers are also their lives, Xue Wanche can't do it for the sake of the people, regardless of the lives of the soldiers, and give up a good victory.
Ashina Zanluo was also a fiery temper, and when he went crazy, he didn't care about anything, and when he saw that Xue Wanche was going to do it regardless of the hostage's life, he yelled: "Prepare to do it!" ”
The Turkic soldiers who took the hostages put their swords around the hostages' necks and prepared to move.
Where was Xue Wanche willing to be threatened by the other party, and shouted loudly: "Prepare the archers, aim and shoot for me, save people first, you also listen to the general's order, lie down!" ”
The language barrier made it impossible for the Turks to understand Xue Wanche's words.
But the controlled hostages could understand, and under the stimulation of the desire to survive, one by one, they didn't know where the strength came from, and they broke the restraint one after another, quickly lay down, or simply fell to the other side.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Turkic soldiers who controlled the hostages did not have time to react.
"Shoot!" Xue Wanche yelled.
"Woohoo!"
Almost at the same time, feathered arrows roared away, picking on the Turkic soldiers who controlled the hostages.
Xue Wanche even rode his horse and rushed up, and a horse lance pointed at Ashina Zan, and shouted: "Death-"
Seeing that the threat could not be achieved, Ashinazan was furious, picked up a big knife and rushed back, shouting, like a madman, and the commander of the troops did not care.
The Turkic generals had long been accustomed to Ashina's wind demons, and they were immediately commanded by the commander of ten thousand commanders, but the Hanzhou army was not vegetarian, and they swarmed up, protected the Tang people behind them, and fought hard to the death.
"Kill!"
More Hanzhou troops rushed into the city and joined the warbands.
Xue Wanche is worthy of being a fierce general, a horse lance tiger and tiger are windy, as fast as a storm, stabbing Ashinazan and blocking even again, it is difficult to counterattack.
