Chapter 227: Tongue Caught Alive
The man on the camel was lying on the hump, with three arrows stuck in his back, and the camel riding under him also had several arrows hanging from his belly, and blood was dripping down the ground.
Li Siye immediately took off the Mo knife from the horse, took out the scabbard and held the long pole in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, when you are full of food and drink, him first!"
Behind him, a dozen soldiers untied their horned bows or horned crossbows, clamped their horses' bellies with their legs, and rushed towards the enemy horse.
The Turgish, who were in pursuit, also spotted them, but they were already a hindsight and a step slow.
"You two shoot on the left, Tian Zhen on the right, they choose the one behind, I choose the first one! Don't overlap your goals!"
The soldiers were full of bowstrings, and Li Siye raised his horned crossbow, his eyes aimed at the self-made Wangshan, and deducted the crossbow machine, but this arrow was more accurate than when he hit the antelope, and in the middle of the head of the horseman, the man screamed, leaned back on the horse, but did not fall down.
The rest of the men also had their own gains, and two of the Trolls fell from their horses, and the rest, even if they were hit by arrows, failed to hurt the vital points.
There was only one chance to shoot an arrow at a hundred paces against the enemy, and immediately after shooting, he lay down on his horse, and a soldier in the rear lay down late, and was counterattacked by the Turk Shi, and his arm was not covered with armor and was hit by an arrow.
The moment Li Siye lay down, he could hear the feather arrow passing past his ears with a whooshing sound, and the jingle on his pocket sounded, as if he had been knocked by a small hammer.
He brushed past the fleeing camel, the light and shadow intertwined like a white horse, and immediately stood upright, clenching the Mo knife with both hands.
The Turkish at the head of the Turk, with a bloody crossbow bolt poked in his forehead, raised his broadblade with his teeth open, and swooped down on him with a roar.
"Kill!"
Li Siye swung his Mo knife and slashed it sideways, and half of the body of the Tuqi Shiren seemed to have broken the blood embankment, and he actually bent backwards on the horse, with only bones and intestines hanging between his stomach and waist.
It's bloody!
The two Trolls had no time to regain their momentum, but rushed to his approach, and one of them turned pale, and his hands trembled and he stabbed with a spear.
Li Siye grabbed the barrel of the gun and dragged it back, and the man leaned forward, almost being dragged off the horse, and his hands were still clutching the barrel of the gun. He clamped the barrel of the gun under the armpit, reached out and grabbed the barrel of the gun with force, and the long rod was bent into an arc and snapped into two!
He turned half of his spear around, threw it with a wave of his hand, and slammed it into the abdomen with great force, stabbing it through.
"Ho, ho, ho......" The opponent clutched his hands on his stomach, his fingers were full of blood, and he fell from his horse with a thud.
The other man raised his knife and slashed at him, and it was too close, and he raised the shaft of the knife with both hands, and the machete made a metallic sound on it.
This person's stomach suddenly spurted blood, splashing Li Siye's face, but it was Tian Zhen who viciously poked his back with a spear, and he was directly chilled.
He didn't bother to wipe the blood from his face, turned his horse to look, but saw a man with a stronger figure than him, wearing only iron armor and wielding a long-handled flail in his hand.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Siye pulled his horse and rushed over, raised the Mo knife above his head, and slashed down with a loud shout with both arms, and the other party's momentum was not weaker than him at all, and he roared like a lion's roar, holding the flail high in his hand, and slashed at Li Siye.
The two fierce weapons were destined to meet in the air, and the silver-blue blade severed the junction of the flail and slashed down the shoulders of the other, scattering the armor and breaking the bones, two feet deep into his chest, and the horses beneath him neighed, and lay on all fours on the ground, kicking up the dust.
Tian Zhen praised enviously and in surprise: "Duh! What a miracle! ”
Li Siye calmly put away the knife, raised his chest in his hand, and was about to raise his hand to brush his beard, only to find that there were only a few sideburns in his hand, so he had to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.
The rest of the soldiers besieged a few turk cavalry, and they were about to be slaughtered in front of them.
"Don't kill them all, leave a living mouth!"
One of them seized the opportunity and turned his horse to flee into the distance, Tian Zhen calmly took out the horn bow, mounted the arrow and bent it like a string moon, and shot out.
The cavalryman slowly fell to his horse, and let the horse run and jolt a few times before falling.
Li Siye opened his mouth and praised: "Tian Zhen's archery skills are getting better and better!" ”
Tian Zhen smiled very indistinctly, feeling that this praise was like repaying debts.
The last man, unable to escape, threw away his weapon and raised his hand.
"Tie him up and bring him back!" Li Siye gave an order, and the two soldiers had already taken out the hemp rope and tied it up more than 50 times as if it were a loop.
In just one encounter, it can be regarded as the total annihilation of thirteen black Tushi cavalry, and two of them were wounded in the eighth regiment. In front of the evenly matched sides, this little injury is really nothing, mostly thanks to the sophisticated armor of the Tang Army.
They turned back and chased to the fleeing camel, Li Siye reached out to probe the snort of the man on the horse, the breath was quite sufficient, it was probably hemorrhagic shock, the three arrows on his back were not too deep, and he should be able to bring it back alive.
The soldiers fed the cavalry on the camel a few mouthfuls with water bags, and the other took a breath and spit out: "I, yes, the scout sent by the Khan of Bahanna." He lay weakly on his camel.
……
After a while, dozens of horses rushed under the city of Kulan, and before Li Siye reached the city gate, he shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, I have an urgent military situation to report to General Fumeng!" ”
The city gate opened, everyone rode into the city, and Li Siye went directly to see his husband Meng Lingcha with the injured scout and tongue.
After a simple surgical bandage by a military medical officer, the scout finally regained consciousness and was able to begin to speak.
Khan Asiranda showed unprecedented caution, personally crouched in front of the scout's stretcher, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you the only one who survived, and what happened to you?"
The scout gasped sideways before he spoke slowly, "General, Khan, the city of Talas has been closed and no merchant is allowed to enter. We returned from the same route, but we were pursued by a small group of horsemen surnamed Hei Tuqishi, who did not know the good luck after the break, and I was the only one who came back to investigate. ”
Asiranda waved his hand, and asked the scout to go down and rest.
Inspector Fu Meng Ling stood up and said to Li Siye, who was standing next to him, "Bring up the tongues you caught."
Li Siye waved his hand, and the two soldiers dragged the Zongzi-like cavalry soldiers forward, pushed his shoulders and knelt on the ground: "Kneel!"
General Fumon stood in front of him with his stomach held out and his hands behind his back, and two soldiers tugged at the captive's braids so that he raised his head high.
"How many soldiers and horses are in the city of Talas, how much grain and grass are there"
The scout's face was torn out of shape, and he replied with a mournful voice, "I don't know, I'm just a horseman, how can I know about such a secret thing"
A detainee in the army crossed his hands beside Fumeng Lingcha and said: "General Fumeng, before he was transferred to Anxi, he used to be a prison official in the Criminal Department, and he is best at extorting confessions by torture. What kind of urn to cook people, Shi Yan is proficient in grinding flesh and blood, put him in my hands, and within half an hour, I will teach him to spit out word for word. ”
Li Siye glanced sideways at the officer, there are all kinds of talents in the Anxi army.
Tears and snot welled up in the captive's eyes, and he cried and said, "The general spare me!" I really don't know how many troops there are! Tell you everything you know. ”
"Then what are you waiting for!" Fu Meng Lingcha sighed in a deep voice.
The captive's shoulders trembled, and all the beans poured from the bamboo tube were spat out.
"Me! I only know that half a month ago, the Khan drove out all the old and weak women and children of the merchants, and ordered all the young and strong to go outside the city to mow the grass, and now only the army and the young men are stationed in the city, and now the only people who can enter and exit the city gate are us ranger scouts, and the team that harvests hay on the grassy slopes. ”
Fu Meng Lingcha waved his hand, and Li Siye ordered someone to drag the captive down.
General Fumeng sat back on the felt, looked at all the officers present, and asked in a slightly cold tone, "Everyone, what do you think?"
