Chapter 142: Attack

"Listen to the brutes of the city, I say it again! I, the Tang Dynasty Wuping Army, made Li Yuan and Li Dashuai, and led the heavenly soldiers to come here to crusade against the rebellion! But my Wuping Army Li Dashuai is benevolent, and he doesn't want to kill more, and the crusade is only against Dongxi and Tian Hongyou, and it has nothing to do with the people, the army and the people in the city.

At this moment, my 50,000 troops have come to the city, and you have no way to retreat, if you can surrender the city, I, Li Dashuai, promise you that you will only kill rebellious traitors and never implicate innocent people! Ruoer and others continued to help the abuse, stubbornly resisted the city, and in a snap of their fingers, Dingjiaoer and others were wiped out......"

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

Under the city of Xizhou, the loud-voiced Tang cavalry still continued to hold high the battle flag and chatter, the voice was extremely loud, although a hundred steps away, but still opened his throat and sent the words clearly to the city, and Li Yuan, who was wearing golden armor, waved his hand firmly at the same time and ordered, and the 30,000 troops who were waiting behind him immediately raised their swords and shouted loudly, "Surrender quickly", and the thunderous sound swept the entire wilderness in an instant.

Even though most of the barbarians don't know what to do, but the momentum of the city and the city has obviously produced a huge contrast, in the face of the huge formation of the banner under the city, all of them frowned, many barbarians couldn't help but start to whisper in their ears, and at the same time looked at the silent Governor Tian Hongbin suspiciously.

Gong Langzhi was secretly deep in thought at this time, although Fang Cai did swear to Tian Hongbin that these trebuchets were no different from paper tigers, standing calmly on the edge of the city wall, but how could the formation and momentum of the Wuping army under the city rely on trebuchets stacked?

Just by looking at these banners, it can be estimated that these well-equipped Tang troops must have at least 20,000 or 30,000 people. Even if Xizhou City is strong, can it really be defended by relying only on the more than 10,000 tribal soldiers in his hands......

Soon, more than ten Tang cavalry cavalry galloped to the city with battle flags and flying horses to the bottom of the city, repeating their old skills, and continued to shout towards the city in unison:

"Listen to the barbarians in the city, I, the Tang Dynasty Wuping Army, made Li Yuan and Li Dashuai, lead the heavenly soldiers to come here to crusade against the rebellion! But my Wuping Army, Li Dashuai, has a benevolent heart, and does not want to kill more, and the crusade is only against Dongxi and Tian Hongyou, and it has nothing to do with the people, the army and the people in the city......"

"Fetch the bow of the Governor of Pontus!"

The Tang army under the city was wantonly shouting to show off its might, and the barbarian soldiers in the city were becoming more and more restless, Tian Hongbin finally forgot what he said a moment ago, and could no longer hold back the sullenness in his heart, seeing a Tang cavalry arrogantly galloping into a hundred steps range, he immediately frowned and stretched out his hand, and the guard next to him hurriedly took a gold-painted strong bow.

Breath down on the shoulders, bend the bow like the moon, hold your breath and open your eyes, and shoot sharp arrows!

With a "Hugh" sound, a meteor quickly flew out of the city, and in the middle of the chest of the Tang cavalryman, who was still raising his head and shouting at the top of his voice, saw that his face was pale, he turned over and fell off his horse, and the irritating shouting immediately stopped abruptly.

"The Governor is mighty!" The barbarians at the head of the city raised their swords one after another, screaming strangely. Tian Hongbin raised the bow high, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then turned around and shook the bow towards the guard general, and then straightened his chest and looked back at the city calmly.

But the smile on his face did not last long, and soon froze, and gradually turned into consternation, and the barbarians at the head of the city also put away their smug expressions, and opened their mouths wide, and suddenly panicked.

All because of the Tang cavalry who was shot under the city, it stands to reason that within a hundred steps, if the arrow enters the heart, he will definitely die!

But its "corpse" was like a soul, and he slowly got up from the ground, then patted the dust on his body, panted and climbed back onto the war horse, and his pale face gradually returned to ruddy, and he pointed angrily at the head of the city and scolded: "Damn! Which barbarian doesn't know whether he lives or dies?! Dare to dirty your grandfather's clothes and armor, and after a while, the siege grandfather will take your head sacrifice knife first! Fuck ......."

While scolding, he waved his hand and beckoned the Tang Jun brothers around him, and everyone flew back without looking back. Li Yuan, the commander of the Tang Army, raised his head and smiled at the city playfully, then tightened his expression, quickly turned his horse and led the guards back to the Wuping army.

"This ...... Does the Tang Army have ghosts and gods to help?! ”

"The Governor is a miracle shooter! This person has obviously been shot in the center of the mouth, but why did he come back from the dead? ”

"It must be the help of the ghosts! This battle can't be fought! ......”

Most of the barbarians at the head of the city were already frightened by this bizarre scene, and they couldn't control the back, and they all lost their voices in shock.

Tian Hongbin's eyes widened in disbelief, and after staring carefully for a moment unwillingly, he immediately turned around and drew his sword and shouted angrily at the barbarians in the riot: "Stop me!" If you dare to speak out and fear the enemy, the governor of Pontus will be killed! Tang Jun is also flesh and blood, where are the ghosts and gods to help, you can see clearly! That dog Tang Bing clearly wore several layers of armor, which made it difficult for the arrow to penetrate! See the curly arrow underneath? ”

The governor was angry first, and the barbarians naturally didn't dare to respond, so they had to hold back their fear and return to the edge of the city wall. But even so, the barbarians suddenly felt indescribable sadness in their hearts.

It's not because he was scolded in vain by the Tang cavalry, but the enemy's equipment is so well-equipped, even a small soldier who came up to speak did not lack a few pieces of armor, and the barbarians looked at each other, and could only secretly sigh at the gap between the rich and the poor, the leather armor of the big guys was a thin layer, and the two arms were even more bare and exposed, as for the large piece of shiny and reflective helmet underneath, it was unthinkable......

Gong Langzhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reminded in a loud voice: "Governor, the Tang army has moved. ”

Tian Hongbin, who was reprimanding the soldiers of the department, hurriedly turned his head to look down at the city, but saw that there was really a change in the formation of the mighty Tang army, and the infantry of the brigade had already marched in line with their shields held high, and stopped and squatted in front of each trebuchet, forming a large protective iron wall of shields in an instant, and the flag bearers everywhere had begun to wave the battle flags vigorously, and were transmitting signals that the barbarians could not understand.

The drums of the Wuping army under the city began to sound in the sky, and Tian Hongbin immediately shouted loudly: "Sons! The Tang army is going to attack the city! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

Under the command of the two leaders, Tian Hongbin and Gong Langzhi, all the generals led their own barbarian soldiers to immediately enter a tense battle state, all kinds of weapons in their hands, crossbowmen with arrows on the wind, and hundreds of bamboo barrels of blowing arrows were also quickly set up in the dark battlements of the city wall, ready to shoot at any time.

The Wuping Army's Central Army Array, representing the glory of the Tang Dynasty, was fluttering in the wind, and Liu Jiangsheng, who had been waiting for a long time, galloped from the front army to Li Yuan, at this time Li Yuan was looking up and blinking lightly and looking at the gradually fierce sun, his heart seemed to be counting the hours, and he nodded expressionlessly after counting his breath and said: "Attack." ”

Three horns sounded, the former soldiers began to shout in frustration, the throwing arms of the three hundred trebuchets were pulled down by the sergeants with ropes, and then the axles were hung with iron hooks, and heavy rocks of different shapes were thrown into the throwing basket by several wrestlers, and then the people began to pour fire oil pine resin upwards, and after a while, three hundred fireballs weighing 100 catties were ready.

"Liu Duzhi! It's time to give orders! Not far away, Xu Kuangheng was straddled the horse and shouted loudly.

Looking at the lonely Xizhou City hanging in the mountains in front of him, Liu Jiangsheng had a gloomy face, and without hesitation, he raised the red order flag in his hand and ordered loudly: "Prepare ......"

The red flag waved down heavily: "Launch!" ”
