Chapter 1226 Life and Death Don't Know About Qinling
Sharp arrows that shimmered with cold light burst through the air from behind.
An arrow pierced the top of the stone steps, and the throat of the last Tibetan soldier burst out with torn blood.
In an instant, the others were already rolling down below.
At this moment, all the Tibetan soldiers had been driven off the city.
Li Xuan, who was holding a longbow and dressed in black clothes and black armor, jumped up to the city and looked at the steps on both sides of the city gate tower.
The entire city pass stood across the dangerous mountain, and the hundred-meter-long city wall was full of corpses.
Heiya Changzhi and Tang Zhenxing were on the left, and Qiu Zhenmu and Li Duozuo were on the right, leading his sergeants to drive down all the Tubo soldiers who were trying to recapture the city wall.
Cui Ding was lying on the female wall behind Li Xuan, his mouth was short of breath, his body was full of arrows, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, but he was full of anger and said: "Dashuai, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
Li Xuan's eyes swept over, in this battle, more than half of the five hundred Jin Wuwei under Cui Ding's command were killed and wounded, but Cui Ding had no regrets.
He was able to go from an ordinary general, from countless arrogant generals, to be recommended by Li Xuan to the emperor to become the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, I don't know how many people are jealous.
How many strange things are said openly and secretly.
Today's battle was deliberately sent to him by Li Xuan.
He also proved that Li Xuan's promotion of him was right, and he, the left Jin Wuwei Zhonglang, would be completely secure.
You must know that he is the general of Zuo Jinwu Wei, as long as he mixes enough time and transfers out, he will immediately become a figure like the general of the Sixteenth Guard.
"Have a good rest, your head work today, this king will personally play Your Majesty, and the dead and wounded comrades will be compensated three times." Li Xuan nodded calmly.
"Thank you, Sir." Cui Ding smiled, tears and blood mixed and flowed down.
Li Xuan waved his hand, and someone immediately carried Cui Ding down for treatment.
"Archers." Li Xuan waved his hand backwards, and the next moment, more crossbow archers rushed up from under the city.
Aiming at the Tibetan soldiers on the stone steps on both sides, the crossbow arrows were like locusts, and the corpses fell to the ground like wheat.
In an instant, the stairs were empty.
"Order, no one is allowed to chase down, the shield player guards the level, and the others, crossbow arrows are harvested." Li Xuan coldly ordered, and the others carried it out without the slightest hesitation.
At this time, the best way is to rush down the city wall directly and drive all the Tibetan soldiers out of the city.
You must know that there are tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers inside and outside the entire city pass, and if you don't drive them out at this time, there will be more and more of them.
The generals who had always known Li Xuan immediately understood that Li Xuan must be calculating something.
subconsciously looked at Li Xuan, and saw Li Xuan's gaze raised, as if he was looking into the distance.
……
In the city pass, countless soldiers frantically rushed towards the steps on both sides of the city wall.
Even if the rolling stones were crushed overhead, even if the crossbow arrows on the city wall rained down, no one hesitated.
Some people even thought in their hearts that even the crossbow of the Tang people would be scrapped after shooting so many people.
It's the same with catapults, there will always be a moment when they have to stop.
Therefore, even if it is filled with human lives, all the Tang people must be driven out.
Dozens of shields stood above the women's walls and steps.
The bows and arrows of the Tibetans could not shoot through at all, and even if someone occasionally rushed up under the rain of bullets and arrows, they would only be pierced by the cold lance in the end.
Li Xuan looked at this scene indifferently.
Behind him, countless soldiers were frantically delivering new crossbows and arrows.
The catapult in the distance had been adjusted to the maximum angle by Wei Hongji, and it crossed the city wall from the rear and smashed directly into the city.
This forced the Tibetan soldiers in the city to dodge on both sides.
Although there are many stone houses in this gatehouse, most of them are council halls, granaries, military camps, etc., and there are also many wooden houses hidden behind the stone houses.
While almost all the Tibetan soldiers were rushing towards the city wall, someone quietly appeared behind the wooden house.
In the night, the wind suddenly became stronger.
And it's a southerly wind.
When almost all the Tubo soldiers outside the city rushed in, Li Xuan turned to the side and nodded slightly at Li Zhu.
The next moment, Li Zhu held a red pennant high and waved it downward.
Almost instantly, the flames were already frantically burning in the wooden houses on both sides of the city gate in the distance.
The flame burns at an astonishing rate, and faintly, you can smell the tung oil.
The wind was blowing up at this moment, all of a sudden.
The flames instantly spread to the front, and in a row of stone houses in front of the flames, the military rations of tens of thousands of people of the entire army were stored.
Just as the Tibetan soldiers near the granary tried to put out the fire, two black shadows suddenly flashed out of the flames.
In an instant, the crossbow bolts were fired, and the rockets had already been shot into the grain depot.
In an instant, the flames were already flashing.
The two did not continue to rush in, but took off their coats in an instant, revealing the Tubo battle armor inside.
"The granary is on fire, the granary is on fire." The two shouted loudly throughout the city.
The Tubo soldiers who were already nearby hurriedly came to the rescue and quickly rushed into the granary.
But the two of them ran farther away at this time, and at the same time shouted loudly: "The granary is on fire, the granary is on fire......
Countless Tubo soldiers subconsciously looked in the direction of the granary, and suddenly saw flames soaring into the sky and thick smoke.
With the sound of the wind, the smoke immediately rushed in the direction of the Tibetan soldiers.
No one saw clearly at all that the real fire was not their granary at all, but the houses behind the granary.
Strangely, those houses burned quickly, and the flames were also strong and terrifying, accompanied by strong winds, and they quickly rushed towards the depths of the city pass.
On the city wall, Li Xuan's cold voice sounded: "Everyone, put on wet wipes, rush forward to kill, and completely occupy the entire level." ”
"Whoa!" Everyone reacted, and the soldier with the basin of water in the back had already delivered wet wipes to them.
No one hesitates, only confidence.
All this in front of them comes from the calculation of their boss, the Tubo people, they are almost finished.
In the next moment, countless soldiers who were covered with wet wipes had already rushed out quickly downward.
The long lance that was eight feet long stabbed intensively, and in an instant, dozens of corpses had fallen to the ground.
Li Xuan looked behind him at this time, under the city wall, and asked in a low voice: "Wei Shaofu, what's wrong?" ”
"Alright." Wei Hongji's voice came from below.
I saw more than a dozen war horses, parked behind Wei Hongji, each with a rope on its body.
The other end of the rope was attached to the city gate.
No, not at the gates, but at the gates, which had been shattered by flames and then split open by sharp axes.
Suddenly, I saw that among the city gates, stones blocked the city gates one by one, and they couldn't be shaken at all.
For a long time, the Tibetans have never chased out of the city.
Li Xuan was tempted again and again, but the Tubo people did not move.
Not because of anything else, but because their city gate has been completely blocked by the order of the Qin Tomb.
At most, they sent a small number of men, slid down the city walls, and then quickly returned, and as soon as they had more men, they were immediately in danger of being blocked and slaughtered.
But it was precisely because of these stones that even if Li Xuan and the others captured the city wall, they would not be able to enter the city to open the city gate.
So simply, Li Xuan did not enter the city, but only stood on the city gate and used a crossbow to resist the counterattack of the Tubo people.
Until now.
I saw Wei Hongji pull out the long sword in his waist, insert it into a thin slit, and then pry it gently, and the next moment, the entire stone collapsed in an instant.
The cavalry in the rear immediately urged the horses, and the horses swooped forward, and a long stone had been pulled out.
All the stones in the entire city gate shook at this time.
Wei Hongji quickly stepped back, flashed to the side, and then waved his hand to order, and more than a dozen war horses exerted force at the same time.
The next moment, the war horse charged, and all of a dozen stones were pulled out fiercely.
In the cave of the city gate, only stone walls remained, and they could already see inside.
On the city wall, Li Xuan raised his head and looked to the south of the city pass.
Countless figures are coming madly, and the first one is the Qin Tomb.
Under the city gate, two figures were already standing quietly in the shadows, their crossbows hidden.
……
Looking at the smoke in front of him and listening to the noise in the distance, Tan Qinling was shocked and anxious.
He really didn't expect that Li Xuan would dare to set fire to the granary like this.
You must know that in the granary, there is a reserve of more than a month's worth of military rations for the entire army of 10,000 people.
Once the granary is burned, they will be forced to abandon it, even if they retake the city.
The city gate in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the Qinling's breathing was getting heavier and heavier.
The sound of fierce fighting came from the city, and the flames mixed with the smoke had spread out in the sky, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
Caring about so much, Lun Qinling directly led people to rush in, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Everyone flashed to both sides, the front army blocked the enemy, and the rear army destroyed ......"
A "whoosh" sounded suddenly in the ears of Qin Ling, many years of battlefield experience, and Qin Ling's subconscious side head.
The next moment, with a "ding" sound, a crossbow arrow had been nailed to the helmet of Non Qinling.
The powerful force made Yan Qinling feel a little dizzy all of a sudden, and before he could recover his senses, more crossbow arrows had already been shot directly at his body.
Chest, thighs, arms, I didn't have time to think about how many there were, and Qin Ling was already weak in his hands and feet, and the whole person fell off the horse at once.
When the guards in the back saw this scene, they didn't care about the trampling of the war horse, and directly pounced on the body of the Qin Ling from the horse.
Then, the horse's hooves had already stepped on it, and the blood exploded.
"Stop the horse, the prime minister has fallen off the horse, there are assassins, there are assassins." A burst of shouts sounded at the door, and the Tibetan cavalry, who were about to rush into the city, was forced to slow down their horses suddenly.
They were originally sprinting at great speed, but they were immediately turned on their backs by their own people.
At this time, in the direction of the city wall in front, I heard a "boom", and the city gate was opened.
In the next moment, countless black-armored cavalry had already killed in like a tide.
The Tibetan soldiers in the city were suddenly reduced to slaughtered cattle and sheep.
But at this time, the cavalry of the Tang Army, led by him, rushed directly towards the city gate.
And at this moment, the non Qinling who fell to the ground had just been helped up, and he was in pain, and the guard who pounced on him just now was only a lump of flesh.
At the gate of the city, a group of Tibetan cavalry was blocked.
The cavalry of the Tang Army on the opposite side had already killed them frantically.
"Let's go!" On Qinling, he only had time to say a word, and the person had already fainted.
