Chapter 81: Fierce Battle and Siege

When Su Qi'an occupied the city of Taning, defeated the army of 30,000, and commanded the Qingzhou territory to be unstable, Su Qi'an knew that the Kukeshu on the front line would not be able to sit still and would exterminate him.

Even if the Cook technique is heavy, it is still as immovable as a mountain, but if such a big event happens in Qingzhou, the Darong Royal Court will force the Cook Technique to return to the aid of no matter what.

Su Qi'an had thought of this kind a long time ago, he could have followed Xie Cang's side and became a strategist with peace of mind, but Su Qi'an did something like leading troops to fight.

This is all because he was touched by the countless soldiers who fought and sacrificed in Ningzhou, as a citizen of Daliang, Su Qi'an had to do something.

When he came to the rear, if he wanted to make trouble, he would make a big deal about it, so Su Qi'an would not hesitate to take the five nearby acropolis.

Fortify the city walls, expand your strength, and fight a decisive battle with Kukshu's army, believing that Pham Van Chung, who has been relieved, will definitely come to support.

Only in this way can the soldiers and horses be completely mobilized and the war in Ningzhou can be turned around.

If you want to fight, you have a good time.

In the city of Taning, the only remaining 5,000 border soldiers, each wearing armor and holding various weapons, are ready for war at any time.

After taking the five nearby acropolises, Su Qi'an finally gathered the armor and weapons of the 5,000 new army.

These 5,000 people included the few cavalry brought by Su Qi'an, and all the troops were integrated.

Don't underestimate these remnant soldiers, when they fought to this point, those who survived each had their own merits.

Su Qi'an's breakthrough of the five cities did not include the new army like when he was in Taning City, first, it was too late, there was no time to reorganize, even if it was absorbed, at the critical moment, it would be delayed.

Free all the slaves in the five cities, Su Qi'an only said one sentence, if you want to escape, run for your life as soon as possible, if you trust yourself, stay in Taning City, as long as you live for one day, you will protect them for a day.

Of the slaves in the five cities, about 100,000 people, two-thirds chose to leave, and the remaining about 30,000 people chose to stay and wait for Su Qi'an's dispatch.

Su Qi'an gathered all the 30,000 newly recruited people for logistical support.

This makes it less risky and safer for them.

Su Qi'an stood in the city tower, beside Tong Zhan and Solmu, looked at Su Qi'an in the distance, turned his head, and faced Solmu.

"I didn't expect that Taning City also has become the center of the big battle, Solmu, I gave you a chance, if you want to escape, you can leave immediately, you trust me so much, can resist the army of Cook Shu?"

Solmu's face obviously changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and shook his head.

"Even if I want to escape, I have nowhere to go now, the little one is already in the same boat as the adult, and the adult is also considered to have worked together for a while, the adult is different from other cool people, and the small one is really impressed by the adult."

"What I didn't say, isn't it just the Cook technique, it's over, it's a big deal to pull a cushion before you die, it's worth it."

When Tong Zhan and Su Qi'an heard this, they laughed, Solmu's words were somewhat loyal, but this was also his heart.

Solmu still admires Su Qi'an very much, if Su Qi'an doesn't die, he feels that there is hope for following Su Qi'an.

Although Solmu is an opportunistic hand, at this juncture, he left, even if he saved his life, but his future official career would end here.

It's better to go to the dark with a boat and follow Su Qi'an to do a big deal, there is no absolute, there are any accidents at any time, maybe the adult he follows will be able to reappear to win more with less.

The three of them stood on the city tower, and not long after, at the end of the front, the densely packed, like the tide of the army, slowly approached.

Accompanied by the low and long sound of the military horn, a strong sense of oppression came to the face.

Su Qi'an's face froze, and Tong Zhan beside him raised his arms and shouted, "The whole army is on alert, the enemy is five hundred meters away, four hundred meters..."

As the army of Kukshu gradually approached, the five thousand new troops, each holding the weapons in their hands, were surging in their hearts, ready for battle at any time.

A dozen or so remaining ballistae pulled the bowstring.

"Three hundred meters, two hundred meters."

"Let me go!" Tong Zhan roared.

The bowstring is full, whoosh! Sou! Sou!

A dozen or so crossbow arrows galloped away, but in front of the Kukshu army with no end in sight, this attack, like a small pebble, sank into the sea.

The surging tide army also began to move.

About four or five thousand cavalrymen, drawing their sabers, quickly attacked, and behind them, there were countless heavy infantry, maneuvering siege vehicles, advancing rapidly.

For a small city of Taning, there are no seventy or eighty thousand Darong troops.

This time, Kukeshu let 20,000 troops go straight to Ta Ningcheng, and the remaining 50,000 troops were commanded by him to deal with the 100,000 Liang soldiers who came from the rear to support.

Cook did follow orders and led his army back to help, but he also had his own way of playing.

It is very important to exterminate Su Qi'an, but it is even more important to eliminate Fan Wenzhong's army of 100,000.

Being able to divide 20,000 troops to attack Taning City is already a big face for Su Qi Antian.

Su Qi'an defeated Liu Shengming's army of 30,000, in the final analysis, it was completely to occupy the right time and place, and it was impossible to reproduce it again.

This time, the 20,000 troops were led by his fierce general, Barbarian Etu.

As the saying goes, what kind of general, what kind of soldier.

In terms of resourcefulness, he may not be as good as Liu Shengming, but in terms of fighting, ten Liu Shengming can't compare to him.

Four or five thousand cavalrymen rushed quickly, and when they were less than a hundred meters away from Taning City, the ground collapsed instantly, and a large number of cavalry instantly turned on their backs.

In the city of Taning, arrows and feathers were shot out in an instant, and this blow directly killed a large number of cavalry.

But even so, these cavalry in ambush took advantage of the situation to jump up from their horses, escape from the trap, hold their shields, and quickly approach the city of Taning.

Even with the sky full of arrows in front of them, these cavalrymen did not flinch in the slightest.

Under this rapid approach, some cavalry finally broke through the city gates.

They didn't plan to siege the city, but instead popped a dozen or so small beads out of their arms.

Without any hesitation, he slammed down on the city gate.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, at the location of the city gate, explosions sounded, and the explosion produced by one person was less powerful, but if the power released by a group of cavalry was enough to blow out a gap in the city gate.

This kind of siege method, Su Qi'an has seen it for the first time, this is completely treating the cavalry as a one-time, suicide weapon.

No matter which dynasty it is placed in, it is much more difficult to train a qualified cavalry than infantry.

The loss of one cavalry is equivalent to three infantry in exchange, even if Daei is a nation on horseback, but in this way, how many cavalry are afraid is not enough.

Standing in the distance, looking at this scene, there was also a look of pain on his face.

There is no way, this time he led the army to attack the city of Taning, and Kukeshu gave him a death order, no matter what way he used, regardless of casualties and means, he ordered two hours to take the city of Taning.

Cook Shushu did this, and he also had to suffer, a small city of Taning was turned upside down by Su Qi'an, and even other cities in Qingzhou did not dare to send troops to attack.

This situation is very serious, if you can't take the city cleanly this time, I'm afraid that this psychological shadow will leave a lifetime for the border acropolis.

When the time comes, anyone who casually does not regard Qingzhou as a no-man's land, and tramples on it at will like Su Qi'an, this is absolutely to be stopped.

Therefore, if Su Qi'an dares to trample on Ningcheng, then they will attack the city with more decisive and thunderous means.

With the example of the cavalry, the heavy armor soldiers behind shouted, manipulating the siege vehicles, and frantically attacking the city.

The city gate was blasted open a gap, Su Qi'an did not hesitate, and instead of sending someone to block the gap, he opened the city gate.

A group of more than a thousand cavalrymen, armed with sabers, also roared, fearlessly rushing towards the siege troops.

Passive defending the city is not Su Qi'an's style, even if he encounters several times the siege of the enemy, Su Qi'an has to look for fighters in high-speed maneuvers.

The cavalry of more than 1,000 people rushed quickly, and this scene also made the heavy armor soldiers besieging the city stunned.

The advantage of cavalry is high mobility, quick support, as well as opening a stalemate situation.

They were heavy armor soldiers, not the so-called light infantry, and the sabers in the hands of the cavalry, slashing at them could only be said to cause pain.

This feeling is like a knife man slashing at an iron man whose whole body is well protected by armor.

If there are a large number of people, it may not be nothing, but there are only more than a thousand people in front of them, and these cavalry, I am afraid that if they don't do it, they will be solved by the remaining cavalry.

Four or five thousand suicidal cavalry are breaking through many crises, and now there are about two thousand left.

Eat this cavalry, more than enough.

It's this kind of heavy armor soldier, planning to look at the guy who is sent up to find death.

The next moment, a strange scene appeared.

Originally, it was supposed to be evenly matched, and even the Darong cavalry had the upper hand, but at this moment, it was like being cut a watermelon with a big knife, and it was directly overturned by these thousand horsemen.

This thousand cavalry, where they passed was like no one's land, looked carefully, the sabers cut on their bodies, these cavalry were like no one, and they slashed each other to death with their backhands.

This thousand cavalry didn't seem to be wearing armor, and as the distance was pulled, they could see clearly what they were wearing.

It's a rattan armor.

The defensive power of rattan armor, they know, is comparable to invulnerability, but the craft of making rattan armor was lost as early as a hundred years ago.

Whether it is Da Rong or Da Liang, there is no news that they can make rattan armor.

Who knows, in the attack on the inconspicuous small city of Thaning City, as soon as it opens, it will encounter this kind of lost armor.

Although shocked, these heavy armored soldiers, who had experienced countless battles, quickly came back to their senses and shouted at the soldiers operating the heavy ballista behind them.

"Don't be stunned, aim for me, shoot them!"

Behind him, about 100 heavy ballista carts began to work, aiming at the rattan armored cavalry rushing ahead.

At the sound of an order, the heavy ballista was launched, and the indomitable rattan cavalry was instantly pierced through the body by the heavy crossbow and planted from the horse.

No matter in the perverted armor, as long as you encounter this kind of big guy, you have to pierce it.

In the absence of cannons, which are extremely lethal, heavy ballistas and catapults are the biggest killing weapons in the era of cold weapons.
