Chapter 33: Fight, Fight
"Look—white—clouds—ah, to see myself clearly.
Look at the mountains and rivers ...... see the beautiful ."
Naha sat on her brother's lap and listened carefully to her brother's singing, which he hadn't sung in a long, long time.
The wounded who were originally moaning in pain also seemed to forget the pain at this time, closed their mouths and listened carefully to Yun Chu's singing.
Yun Chu's singing is really beautiful, and his singing voice is also very good, although he can't understand the Tang folk songs he sings, just the sad and euphemistic tunes make people want to listen to them forever.
The mountains of corpses piled up in the corners of the walls were carried away by Liu Xiong in ox carts, and those who died were left with nothing but a strong stench.
Three of the wounded were also in very poor condition and their wounds were becoming red and swollen......
"Brother, shall we still eat steamed buns today?" Naha grabbed a lock of hair that had fallen from Yun Chu and prayed in a glutinous voice.
Naha's Chinese dialect is not good, and many times the order of words is wrong, but fortunately, Yun Chu can still understand her words when she turns them upside down.
"We can't get out of the city now, we can't find shallots, and the all-beef buns are not delicious at all."
Naha blinked and said, "That old man said that if I need it, I can go to him, and he will definitely help me." ”
Yun Chu stroked Naha's soft hair and whispered, "Of course you can, if you can't do it yourself, it's right to ask someone to help." ”
Naha immediately jumped off Yun Chu's lap and jumped into the half-open and half-closed tunnel.
Those people fought all night last night, and this morning, the city of Qiuzi was exceptionally quiet.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its fiercest, the white and bright sun pestle on the ground, and the heat made people breathless.
The black Datang flag with gold embroidered gold characters hung softly on the flagpole, and there was no wind in the sky.
All the people in the city fell weakly in the shade, panting and drinking water, but they drank so much water, but they didn't have the slightest urge to urinate.
The qanats that used to flow into the city are gone, and they can only rely on the six wells in the city.
These six wells are still sufficient to supply the two or three thousand people in Qiuzi City on weekdays, and everyone likes to use the water flowing from the qanats on weekdays, so the well water is basically unused.
Now that the karez water is gone, there are more troops from Zhechong Prefecture in the city, as well as more war horses and livestock.
It's hot in the city, but it's even hotter outside the city, where there are only large swaths of flat land without barley, and under the scorching sun, the moisture in the fields floats into the air in a visible way.
The Turks outside the city set up many tents on the flat ground, and in the scorching heat, their leather robes could no longer be worn, and they lay naked in the few shady places and stuck out their tongues.
Yun Chu always thought that Ding Dayou was unreliable, because he had seen with his own eyes how greedy this guy was and how greedy he was, and he was greedy for money.
But such a man, at about half past two in the afternoon, when the weather was at its hottest, went out of the city with his only five hundred cavalry.
Five hundred horses, dressed in pitch-black vests and with a torch stuck in the upper part of their buttocks, had just left the city gate when they formed a front line and rushed towards the Turkic camp.
He Yuanshan clenched his fists tightly and shouted at Yun Chu: "Drumming, drumming, drumming, drumming, drumming for the Tang Dynasty." ”
Yun Chu wanted to get the drumstick, but Liu Xiong took the lead, this guy picked up the drumstick, and struck it fiercely, and for a while, the drum shook the sky.
The cavalry of the Tang people really shot like a sharp arrow at the camp of the Turks, and at a distance of two hundred paces behind them, Yun Chu saw the leading Kasga, and yes, the Cypriot cavalry also killed at the same time.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the chaotic camp of the Turks, the Turks, who were naked and hiding in the shade, dispersed in a hurry, and then, behind the endless tents, came out, also neatly draped Turkic cavalry.
"Oh no, it's a trap! Mingjin, Mingjin......" He Yuanshan roared heartbreakingly, but was kicked aside by Ding Dayou, who didn't know where to get out, snatched the drumstick from the stupid Liu Xiong, and continued to beat, this time, the drum was no longer messy, but neat and orderly.
The black sharp arrow plunged headlong into the Turkic army, like a black hot knife piercing into the butter, daring to invade the Turkic cavalry with indescribable silkiness, as if it could not feel any obstacles, and cut a gap in the earthy yellow Turkic cavalry.
I couldn't hear the sound of fighting, shouting, and my ears were filled with the loud sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth, and I only saw the black arrow, which turned into a black dagger at this moment, and struggled forward in the crowd of ten thousand horses.
Without waiting for the Turks to be cut and the team closed, a group of Cypriot cavalry wearing pointed hats led by Karma also bravely followed the bloody path trampled by the Tang army into the Turkic army.
If the cavalry team of the Tang people is a sharp blade, then the cavalry group of the Cypriots is a chisel, the sharp blade opens the way, the chisel widens, and this rare cooperation actually happened in an instant.
Yun Chu's blood was open, and he opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly, not only he was screaming, but everyone standing at the head of the city was screaming.
Ding Dayou didn't know when, stopped beating the drum, and said to He Yuanshan indifferently: "Go out of the city and take them back." ”
He Yuanshan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and shouted to a few people around him: "Spearmen, shield bearers, archers, follow me out of the city and take the warriors back to the city." ”
After that, he hurriedly went down the city wall, and a group of people hurriedly arranged the team at the head of the city, carrying huge shields, bows and arrows, and approached the Turkic army step by step.
When He Yuanshan walked to the land of a stone's throw away, he glanced back at the city. Ding Dayou at the head of the city began to beat the drum again, He Yuanshan had to continue to walk forward, the drums of the two arrows did not stop, He Yuanshan had to tremble and continue to approach the Turkic army, at the same time, in the Turkic army, there was also a cavalry that broke away from the large team and began to approach He Yuanshan.
Ding Dayou stopped beating the drum, glanced at the battlefield, then looked back at Yun Chu and said, "Why don't you go out?" ”
Yun Chu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva under Ding Da's wolf-like gaze, and said weakly: "I'm Langzhong." ”
Ding Dayou said indifferently: "I'm talking about the whole army attacking, this time I will let you go, and the next time you dare to fight, I will divide your five horses into corpses to set an example." ”
Yun Chu didn't doubt that this guy could do this kind of thing, and when he was about to guarantee it, Ding Dayou also went down the city wall, Yun Chu leaned over and saw that this guy took a Mo knife more than two meters long from his entourage, this kind of blade is not many in the Tang Army, and it is said that it can break horses.
The black cavalry team had already entered the tent area, and then, a fire broke out in the tent area, and until this moment, Yun Chu didn't know why there was a torch on the upper part of the horse's buttocks.
The weather was dry and dry, and most of the tents of the Turkic people were smeared with some animal fat in order to protect them from rain, and at this moment, the animal fat had long been sun-drenched, and they immediately burned as soon as they came into contact with the torches.
The cavalry did not stop, but played chase battles with the Turkic cavalry in the tent area, where fire would burn wherever they went.
The Cypriot cavalry with white pointed hats went into a bitter battle, and they managed to advance more than halfway, and finally they were stopped by the Turkic cavalry, and began to struggle to support the siege of the Turks.
He Yuanshan's infantry army had long been surrounded by giant shields, and dense spears poked out from the gaps in the giant shields, facing the cavalry rushing over.
Yun Chu knew that when the galloping war horse ran like you, its body would gradually grow larger in its eyes, and finally envelop the entire sky, like an ancient fierce beast.
"Shoot the arrows, release the ......arrows," He Yuanshan roared, stuck the copper hammer on his waist, picked up a spear that was three meters long and placed it at an angle of thirty degrees, the spear handle was pestled on the ground, and quietly waited for the war horse to collide with him.
Yun Chu watched the battle from an excellent angle, he could see the Turkic cavalry who were shot off his horse by the feathered arrows, and he could also see the nervous people behind the giant shield.
Arrows are like flying locusts, and horses are like dragons.
The dust was left behind by the war horse, and the war horse's neck stretched forward with great effort, and it had already increased its speed to the limit.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows...... Liu Xiong raised his spear and roared loudly.
"Gnass, Gnass......"
"Baru, Balu ......"
The sounds of various requests to release arrows were intertwined on the battlefield, and even Yun Chu, who was standing on the city wall, could hear it clearly.
The archer's hand never stopped, and one after another feathered arrows were shot from the longbow, but no matter how many arrows he shot and how many Turks he killed, the oncoming horses still did not decrease in the slightest.
"Hold the spear, hold the spear, don't dodge, don't dodge......"
He Yuanshan stepped on the tail of the spear with one foot, his body trembled, tears flowed, and he shouted in his mouth, but he held the spear to death, and his feet did not take a step back.
Through the gap in the giant shield, He Yuanshan saw a majestic war horse spitting out and slamming into his spear with his broad and strong chest, and the sharp spear easily pierced the war horse's chest.
The horse's march did not stop, first it crashed into the huge shield, and then its body was pierced along with the knight's body, and the shaft of the tough spear bent violently, and then broke off from it, and the front half was carried by the dead war horse and fell from the sky, and with a bang, it stopped moving.
And the remaining half of the cut hit He Yuanshan's breastplate heavily, the bright heart shield was suddenly shattered, He Yuanshan spit out a mouthful of blood, staggered back two steps, his hand had already grabbed the copper hammer inserted in his waist, and smashed it down at the black shadow that passed in front of him.
The copper hammer smashed into the air, countless scimitars slashed across his mountain armor, making a piercing sound, and a mace smashed over, He Yuanshan hurriedly shrank his head, but the helmet was taken away by the mace, and the strap that bound the helmet was torn off alive.
He Yuanshan took two steps back again, and then let out a beast-like howl from his mouth, and ran forward quickly with the double hammer forward, the hammer smashed on the head of a horse, and the war horse fell to the ground with a wail, He Yuanshan rolled over the corpse of the war horse, picked up the hammer and smashed the head of the fallen Turkic cavalry alive.
