Guild wars!
The heat wave churned for a while, making Li Ye feel like a scone in the stove, and the burning sensation was everywhere.
Liang Jun's oil altar is still falling.
Tongguan is built with a mountainous situation, the east and west are long and narrow, the north and south are wide, the fire is concentrated in the east city and the nearby mountains and forests, the fire borrows the wind, and the smoke smokes the sky.
"What are you doing in a daze, fighting fires!" Li Ye didn't care about the scorching heat around him, took off his armor, and whipped the flames on the nearby soldiers. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is not willing to give up.
His words were like a pebble thrown into the lifeless waters of the lake, causing ripples in an instant.
Many of the soldiers seemed to have found the backbone of the Lord.
Sacks of sand and dirt were sent up to the city walls, but they were still a drop in the bucket, and the city was full of fire, and the woods, armor, feathered arrows, and spear shafts were set on fire.
Li Ye set up several fire extinguishing points on the city wall, and the soldiers who caught fire were dragged over, and the sand and soil were quickly covered to extinguish the fire, and then carried down for treatment.
The emperor rescued people in the back, and the soldiers were no longer so flustered, and they all joined the queue to extinguish the fire.
After the initial panic, the fire gradually subsided, and the effect of the oil could not last, let alone burn down such a large fortress.
And the mountain fire looks scary, but in fact, the damage to Tongguan is not so great.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Li Yun commanded his soldiers to attack the enemy army in Pancheng.
There were still small flames jumping on his shoulders, and when he turned around, Li Ye saw that the left side of his face was full of blood blisters.
"The armies must not panic, carving insects and small skills, Your Majesty is also on the city wall!" Yang Shihou shouted back and forth on the city wall.
The oil is scary to look at, and the damage is not so great, unless it is directly hit by the tank of oil and touches the spark.
Its power is mainly to burn the materials on the city, as well as the psychological offensive against the soldiers.
The real threat is the mountain fires that spread over, the weather is dry, there are many wooden buildings in Tongguan, the outermost ring of fire is soaring to the sky, and because of the high terrain, it is very inconvenient to get water to extinguish the fire in the city.
If there is no chaos in the city, Tongguan will still be in hand.
Li Ye didn't dare to leave the city wall without permission, for fear that the soldiers would think that he had escaped from the battle, so he pointed to the burning houses and said to Li Juchuan: "Knock down the buildings next to the burning houses, pile up a fireproof belt with sand, and clean up all the combustible things outside the firebreak." ”
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is a firebreak?" Li Juchuan asked.
Only then did Li Ye realize that there was no such term in this era, "There must be nothing that can burn within a radius of fifty steps from the place where the fire is burned." ”
Li Juchuan took the order and left.
Closing the fire, the Liang army did not give up the siege, they had already prepared, their bodies were drenched with water, holding horizontal knives, wearing heavy armor, and quickly ascended the city.
Some ordinary Liang soldiers were wearing bright light armor, or like themselves, they were wearing two layers of armor, and their helmets were all protected, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes.
Bows and arrows are of little use against them, unless they can be shot in the eye.
And there are very few bows and arrows left.
The stones were so hot that they could not be lifted by human hands.
"Revive Datang!" A Praetorian Guard, whose whole body was on fire, couldn't bear the pain of the fire, and hugged Liang Jun and fell down the city wall.
A hot current stirred in Li Ye's heart, and if there is such a soldier in Datang, his life should not be extinguished.
More Don troops formed groups of three or five, spears stabbed the enemy.
Tongguan is one of the best Xiongguan in the world, and the soldiers will not retreat, and the Liang army is gradually suppressed.
As soon as Liang Jun retreated, the oil jar and the fireball came again.
"Li Yun, Gao Xingzhou, Yang Shihou!" Li Ye simply let it go, if he didn't destroy these catapults, it would be too much pressure to close the defense.
"The last general!"
"Bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and go out of the customs to destroy the catapults of the Liang army!"
"No!" The three generals responded in unison.
The strong army is all fought, and the Liang army has today's momentum, so why hasn't it experienced hard battles and bloody battles again and again?
In the creaking sound, the gate of Tongguan slowly opened.
Gao Xingzhou was the first to rush out, and two thousand heavily armored soldiers behind him, spears, swords and shields were mixed, rolling down.
Then there are Li Yun's five hundred Mo swordsmen, all Guanzhong men, burly and strong, wearing iron armor, like a humanoid beast, with a long-pent-up anger in his eyes.
Yang Shihou did not rush out of the customs, but prepared a spear formation behind the gate.
For one hundred and thirty years, the central forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty was repeatedly beaten by various feudal towns.
Whether it was Xuanzong, Suzong, Dezong, including Xianzong, who later almost resolved the rebellion of the feudal town, the main force of the counterinsurgency was the feudal army loyal to the Tang court.
The Central Shence Army was under the eunuch's crotch, and as soon as it was pulled out to fight the rebels, it was immediately intimidated.
So when Liang Jun saw Tang Jun who was out of the customs, he actually laughed.
Most of the Tang army was blackened by the smoke and fire, and one by one it seemed to be called a flower child.
Gao Xingzhou also laughed, revealing Sensen's white teeth.
It's a pity that this Tongguan mountain road is difficult to walk, otherwise his hundred-heavy armored iron horse will be useful, but in his eyes, it is the same, as long as it is to kill the enemy, it will make his blood boil.
Some people are born to belong to the battlefield.
For the courage of the soldiers, Gao Xingzhou did not put Liang Jun in his eyes, and the armor soldiers behind him were not afraid at all.
I have been roasted in the city for so long, and I am holding back the fire in my heart.
Liang Jun still paid enough attention to Gao Xingzhou, with the shield array in front and the spear array behind, protecting the catapult behind him.
Fireballs slashed over their heads.
"Kill!" Gao Xingzhou let out a low snort and began to run wildly.
The sword shield protected the left and right wings, and the spear stood upright in front, forming a sharp cone, which was condescendingly and stabbed into the Liang army's large array.
The spiky cone slammed into the enemy line, instantly knocking out a gap.
Gao Xingzhou is always the one who rushes to the front, the spear flies left and right, the Gao family's marksmanship has always been rigid and soft, it is rumored that his father Gao Siji stabbed out with a shot, which can give birth to seven afterimages, so that the enemy does not know how to defend, but Gao Xingzhou is straight and straight, wide open and close, and there is no need for clever marksmanship on the battle array, so that it is fast and accurate, it is difficult to meet the opponent.
In front of him, no matter how heavy the armor is, it is useless, and a shot is stabbed, either in the eye socket or in the neck.
It is not known how many Liang Jun died under his gun, and there were even a few Liang Jun generals among them.
Gao Xingzhou is not interested in these small fish and shrimp.
There are many well-known generals in the Liang army, but unfortunately in the Tongguan battlefield, there is only one Niu Cun Festival.
As Gao Xingzhou broke through the Liang army's array, the Liang army's position was frustrated.
However, in the end, it was the army of a hundred battles, and the Liang army did not have a major chaos, and the forces on the two wings began to shrink inward, squeezing the activity space of the Gaoxing Periphery.
Gao Xingzhou was compressed in a narrow encirclement.
No matter how many Liang troops Gao Xingzhou defeated head-on, there was always a steady stream of arrays in front of him.
Moreover, the shieldmen on both wings could not parry the spears from all directions.
Even when fighting at close range, the Liang army would use a short crossbow to attack.
"Mo Dao!" A majestic shout rang out in the battle array.
The five hundred Mo swordsmen lined up one after another, and they did not run wildly like Gao Xingzhou, but slowly advanced like a wall.
They are to concentrate all their strength on their hands.
Behind them, Yang Shihou formed a spear formation of three thousand people and advanced together.
Knock, knock, knock.....
Li Ye personally beat the drum on the burned city tower.
The sound of war drums connects the hearts of every soldier on the battlefield.
The Liang army had 30,000 people, but the narrow battlefield in front of Tongguan could not be spread out at all.
This is a battle of the elite, this is a war of the brave.
In the ancient war dramas of later generations, Li Ye often saw that one side was slightly unfavorable, and the whole army retreated, and then chased the dead to the north.
But this is the end of the Tang Dynasty, the continuous war, so that the will of every soldier is as tough as steel.
Sometimes, Li Ye really feels sorry for this era, if their force is used to expand the territory, what will be the situation in the world?
It's a pity that the warriors don't have this kind of vision.
As the Mo swordsman entered the battlefield, it attracted the attention of most of the Liang army.
After all, there are only 500 people, and it is impossible not to attract attention if it is so exaggerated.
Everyone has the spirit of not believing in evil, and the legend of Modao has passed for one hundred and forty years, and many people think it is just a legend.
Several Liang generals led their subordinates to attack the Modao team.
"Slash!" Under Li Yun's shouting, the Modao team took its own unique rhythm and slashed down with a knife.
Spears, armor, swords, flesh .....
It's all cut in two.
There was a brief silence on the battlefield.
"Phew! Hugh is rampant, Kou Chongwu is here! A general of the Liang army came out of the crowd and rode his horse on a rugged road to Li Yun, and the big knife in his hand was about to catch up with the size of the door panel.
This person is like a black tower, with a vicious appearance, and an extremely fierce appearance, throwing off the heavy armor behind him and admitting Li Yun to death.
Li Yun also recognized him and rushed over quickly.
The distance between the two quickly narrowed.
"Die!" As if there was a thunderstorm in the flat ground, Kou Chongwu shouted, and the big knife slashed down with the help of the horse.
In the light of the calcium carbide fire, Li Yun's body was lowered, and the Mo knife was raised horizontally, avoiding the knife.
One man and one rider staggered by.
Blood sprayed red on half of Li Yun's body.
The blood of a war horse, the blood of an enemy general.
"The general is mighty! The general is mighty! “
The Tang army shouted hard when the gate was closed.
Killing the enemy general in front of everyone, watching this person is all bloody, and it is also the most morale-boosting.
One side and the other, Liang Jun finally had a look of fear in his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the Mo Dao Array.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yun took off his helmet, took out the water bladder on his waist and drank water, so he threw away the helmet, tore off the armor on his body, exposed the knotted muscles in his chest, and shouted like a beast to the two armies.
The dozens of Liang troops at the front were frightened by Li Yun's momentum, turned around and ran back, and before they could run two steps, they were immediately hacked to death by the friendly troops behind them.
"Death to those who retreat!" A member of the Liang General indifferently scolded the soldiers around him, and immediately, his gaze passed over Li Yun and turned to the looming figure on the city tower.
Around his waist, there was an iron sign with the word "hall".
With the strong support of the Modao team, Gao Xingzhou's pressure was greatly reduced, and he finally broke through the encirclement and rushed into the catapult array.
The oil jar was ready-made, and even the torches were ready.
Liang Jun, who was manipulating the catapult, was as pitiful as a lamb in front of Gao Xingzhou, who was like a wolf and a tiger.
Gao Xingzhou laughed, "Burn!" "For those who are soldiers and fight, killing people and setting fires is a traditional skill, so skilled that they don't need to be taught.
Soon, the catapult turned into a raging flame, interspersed with three or two explosions.
The wind fuels the fire, and the fire fuels the army.
The rising flames seemed to burn into Gao Xingzhou's heart, he looked at the big banner with the word "ox" fluttering not far away, and his eyes also lit up with raging flames, "All the troops listen to the order, and capture the enemy's main general with me!" “
The soldiers were brave, and the soldiers also roared.
The interest is up, there is nothing to dare to do.
"Kill!" Gao Xing was in the lead, and the Liang army was defeated along the way, and no effective resistance was organized, but the Liang army was concentrated on the flank, and after the large camp, there were still a large number of Liang troops waiting for them, because of the terrain, they did not blindly enter the battlefield.
Rushing to the camp gate, Gao Xingzhou suddenly became a little puzzled.
The enemy camp was silent, and the camp gates were wide open, as if to welcome them.
Gao Xingzhou, who was as intuitive as a beast on the battlefield, had already sensed that something was wrong, but he had to send it, even if there were thousands of troops inside, he could only rush in.
He raised his spear, and the word "kill" just came to his throat, and before he could say it, a general slowly walked out of the camp.
This person is about thirty years old, wearing heavy armor, but without a helmet, with long hair tied behind his head, with a majestic appearance, with a bit of carelessness, his arms are not armored, exposed, muscular, carrying a long-bladed heavy sword, but with a disdainful look in his eyes, as if standing in front of him is a group of local chickens and dogs.
The two of them are the same sharp.
Gao Xingzhou was angered by his light breeze, but he didn't expect someone to be even crazier than himself, "Do you recognize Gao Xingzhou of the Tang Dynasty?" “
General Liang tilted his head, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said lazily: "The unknown young general also dares to be rampant." “
"Do you dare to report your name?"
General Liang's head was tilted to the other side, and he picked up the heavy sword with one hand, "Xuzhou Liu Zhijun." “
Then he stuck his heavy sword into the ground in front of him, and more than a thousand soldiers poured out behind him, all wearing heavy armor and holding long swords.
When the Mo swordsman drank water and rested, Yang Shihou's three spear formations went up, because of the performance of the Mo swordsman, as well as Li Yun's on-the-spot beheading, the morale of the Liang army was discharged, and his spear array was more like harvesting the battlefield.
These spearmen were all new recruits in the army, although most of them were prisoners of the former Fengxiang Army and Linning Army, but some of them were recruited by Guanzhong, and Yang Shihou wanted them to see blood.
And it's the blood of Liang Jun.
Under his command, the three spear formations coordinated with each other, and even the Liang army, which had stubborn resistance, was quickly defeated.
"Liang Jun is nothing more than that!" Today, Wei Wulang has been promoted to deputy commander and has been serving under Yang Shihou's account.
The burning of Tongguan was indeed a stroke of genius, and it caught the Tang army off guard, but when it came out of the pass to fight to the death, I didn't expect that the Liang army was not as strong as rumored.
"The arrogant army will be defeated, the elite of our army is everywhere, and the Liang army is caught off guard, but the strength of the Liang army will not be so unbearable, Wulang must be careful, the Liang army still has a backhand!" Yang Shihou treated Wei Wulang as a junior brother, and he rolled over from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, there was no boundary between the two of them, and Yang Shihou led the troops, and he had always eaten and lived with his subordinates, and he was also in front of the battle, so he was extremely supported by the soldiers, and he was like a rising star in the army.
"And a backhand?" The other Du Tou Xiao Jing's eyes lit up.
The prosperity of Datang is increasing, and the army feels it the most, not only the treatment has been improved, the rewards have been increased, and more meritorious people have been promoted.
Xiao Jing is one of them.
There is no shortage of brave men in any army in the world, but there is no way to rise.
For example, Yang Shihou has followed Li Hanzhi to fight for life and death since he was a child, and he is only a head when he is thirty years old.
On the contrary, in the Tang Army, it rose rapidly by virtue of its military exploits.
The Tang Army attaches great importance to the merits of war, and even if the meritorious person is not promoted and rewarded for the time being, his name will be recorded and sent to His Majesty for inspection.
And His Majesty did not disappoint them, but none of the people who were promoted were fake, they were all well-known men.
The war dead, the list is included in the Tang Dynasty Loyal Soul Monument, the soul is resting with the country, the children are in the military camp to study and practice martial arts, and the parents are supported by the royal family.
All kinds of preferential treatment, from the general at the command level, down to the commander and even the chief, no one is brave to move forward.
Yang Shihou didn't answer Xiao Jing's words, after his gaze passed through the layers of Liang Army, what would be the enemy's backhand?
Just thinking like this, he suddenly saw Liang Jun in front of him retreating in a panic.
The first person has a long sword in his right hand and a long sword in his left hand, with a faint blood color in the black armor, and the plastic blade and the sword blade are stained with black.
An enemy army of about 1,000 people slowly walked out, these people were unkempt, their armor was stained with black and red blood, all holding horizontal knives, and their eyes were lifeless, as if they were a group of soulless walking corpses, and wherever they went, a layer of black mist loomed there.
Xiao Jing smiled: "Is there no one in the Liang army?" How did you get such a bunch of Hanako? “
Yang Shihou's heart sank, how could this momentum be similar to the Moyun Army back then?
No, the Moyun Army is simply a child in front of them.
"All troops on alert!" Yang Shihou let out a low roar.
Seeing that the Lord would attach so much importance to it, Wei Wulang did not dare to take it lightly and commanded the spearmen of this formation to form a formation.
When the Black Armor Army was one arrow away from a spear array, they suddenly charged, and at this time, they were not walking corpses, but wild beasts running wildly.
The first general, raised his arms, long plastics, long swords danced wildly, and the spears that were stabbed were cut off one after another.
A bloody storm immediately blew in the spear array, and the heavy armor was like paper paste in front of him.
The Black Armor Army then burst in, and another burst of flesh and blood flew sideways.
This is a Caizhou thief! Yang Shihou's heartbeat intensified.
And the Caizhou thieves near the river only have Wang Chongshi's department!
This person is Wang Chongshi, the general of the Liang Army!
Li Ye was sweating profusely after beating a stick of incense drum, his whole body was sore, and he was even more tired than in bed.
However, there are five big and three thick Guanzhong men around him.
Seeing that the Liang army's catapult ignited piles of fires, Li Ye was overjoyed, and Tongguan was finally defended.
The flames on the closed area gradually weakened, and although the wildfires on both sides were still spreading, they no longer posed a threat with the establishment of the fire barrier in the city.
Gao Xingzhou and Li Yun performed on the battlefield, and he saw both.
The fear of Liang Jun and Zhu Wen suddenly dropped by more than half.
Maybe it's because Zhu Wen didn't come, Liang Jun's performance is just like this, although Niu Cunjie is the general of Liang Jun, but he belongs to the soy sauce role in history, and there is neither an outstanding performance nor a shameful record, and he is even.
This may be the reason why Zhu Wen asked him to preside over the Battle of Tongguan.
Since Zhaozong's succession to the throne of the three attacks, the strength of the Tang Dynasty has basically been shown in front of the world, the absolute level of the five scum of war, 100,000 Shence army, was defeated by Li Cunxiao's 5,000 crow soldiers several times.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Kwantung Domain, although the Tang Dynasty defeated Li Hanzhi and Li Maozhen, there was nothing to be surprised about, and the most glorious battle of Niu Cunjie was also defeated by Li Hanzhi.
"Your Majesty, Caizhou Bing has appeared!" Xue Guangheng pointed to the battlefield.
Li Ye looked around, only to see a small stream of black armor appear in the silver armor and red armor, and his two spear formations were quickly defeated.
is advancing towards Yang Shihou's spear array.
For the first one, the sword in the left hand and the right hand are shaped, turning like flying, and no one can stop it wherever it passes.
If Cai Zhou's soldiers defeated Yang Shihou, it would be equivalent to cutting off Gao Xingzhou's retreat.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to panic, General Li Yun's Mo swordsman has already stepped forward to engage in battle." Xue Guangheng's eyesight is excellent, and the situation on the entire battlefield is seen by him.
Li Ye wondered in his heart, he didn't play with his mobile phone or watch small movies when he came to this world, why is his eyesight still not good? Could it be that his mild myopia has also crossed over?
Li Yun's five hundred Mo swordsmen were at the back end of the battlefield, resting while preventing fish from slipping through the net to storm Tongguan.
However, Cai Zhoubing appeared, and Yang Shihou's new pawn was definitely not an opponent.
Li Yun glanced at the battlefield, lifted the Mo knife, and supported Yang Shihou.
Wang Chongshi is definitely a qualified opponent!
But after Li Yun's troops let the road open, a group of 500 Liang troops suddenly rushed over from the corner of the battlefield.
Such an obvious goal, Li Ye even saw it blindly.
Xue Guangheng also saw it.
But no one cares, it's just five hundred Liang troops.
There are 10,000 troops in the city, and aren't these people here to die?
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" The generals of the castle defended themselves.
The arrows flew like locusts, but they bounced off the armor of the Liang army.
When they got closer, Li Ye found that they were carrying a crossbow in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other, the speed was extremely fast, and when the second wave of arrow rain did not shoot, they had already followed the ladder and began to climb the city.
Li Ye was shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Stone, stone them to death." “
No sooner had the defenders lifted the stone than they were shot into the eye sockets by their crossbows.
This is no ordinary Liang Jun!
Li Ye was so shocked that he didn't dare to stand on the wall, "Spear array, spear array!" “
As long as someone shows their head behind the pheasant, they will be shot in the face, and there will be no missing hair.
The momentum was too fast, the walls were narrow, and the spear array could not be assembled at all.
"The guards are all ready for battle!" Li Ye roared, isn't this the decapitation operation often played by the special forces of US imperialism?
When will Zhu Wen also do this.
"The hall is all over!" Xue Guangheng recognized this Liang army.
Li Ye has a heart for killing, and as soon as he was amazed by his excellent eyesight, he gave himself a moth, and he would not be so passive when he saw it.
