"Brother! Maybe I've spent my whole life here! But I want to make a small request to you," Xiao Zhonggong said to Xiao Ming after killing twice the grape fruit wine. 【 High Quality Update 】
"If you have any requirements, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, there is no need to be polite between our brothers"
"The wine here is so bad! You have to send me some spirits every year, and you want some Jiannan Burning Workshop! What do you think? Xiao Zhonggong frowned and said, he really can't adapt to life without spirits!
"Haha......!" Xiao Ming burst out laughing.
"No problem, with Brother Lao stationed in Xiliao, how can I meet this request, but I want to build a shochu shop for you, and you won't have to worry about drinking when the time comes!"
"That's what you want!" Xiao Zhonggong was very satisfied with Xiao Ming's arrangement.
The two were chatting when suddenly a tiger guard ran in, holding a battle report: "Report----! MI report! ”
Xiao Ming took the battle report and glanced at it, and said to Xiao Zhonggong: "As expected, they are violently attacking the Assassin and the Six Star City!" Then he handed the battle report to Xiao Zhonggong, and Xiao Zhonggong couldn't help but have doubts in his heart after reading it.
"Are you sure the other party can be fooled?"
"It doesn't matter if you are fooled or not, anyway, all their forces have been mobilized, and this time the problem of the Western Turks must be completely solved!" Xiao Ming said expressionlessly.
Xiao Zhonggong said: "I hope so, if it is as you say, I think this land should be a peaceful pure land!" ”
"Why is the eldest brother so unconfident? There is nothing that I Xiao Ming want to do that I can't do, from this place to the northwest is the range of Tianzhu, as long as you increase your business efforts, it won't be long before this is a rich land! ”
"I believe in you!" Xiao Zhonggong nodded and said.
Looking at the tiger guards standing below to deliver the military report, Xiao Ming said: "Tell Wu Gang and Yang Qizhong, let them symbolically send troops to the assassination and Six Star City as planned!" ”
"Yes! Subordinates retired"
"Come on, big brother! You drink some more with your brother, the wine of the Western Regions is a grape wine, and I may not be able to drink it in the future! Xiao Ming picked up the wine bottle and said to Xiao Zhonggong.
"Look at what you said, it's a big deal, I'll send you a few jars to the Central Plains every day!"
"Hehe, that's a good dare!"
……
Attacking the front line of the Assassin City and the Six Star City, looking at the dense corpses outside the Six Star City, the commander of the Aswan Army couldn't help but panic, the number of defenders of the Assassin City and the Six Star City was not large, but it was extremely difficult to fight, and several attacks were blocked and the soldiers of the Seljuk suffered heavy losses to a very serious extent.
The cold military law of the king of Aswan sounded, and the generals gritted their teeth and ordered to continue the onslaught! At this time, the subordinates came to report that a support army came from Baishui City to reinforce, and the general was overjoyed to hear that the other party sent reinforcements from Baishui City, which meant that her task had been completed, and she was afraid that the news would be unreliable, so she hurriedly climbed to the building car of the siege city to look out in person.
Sure enough, a cavalry appeared on the periphery of the besieged city, and was rushing to the Six Star City, although the number of the other party was not too much, but it was also a lot, seeing this scene, the general was overjoyed and immediately ordered his subordinates.
"Send a letter to His Majesty Aswan quickly, saying that the enemy has sent reinforcements, please ask Your Majesty to indicate the next step"
The subordinates took the order to go, and the generals could finally rest easy, but they didn't know that Whitewater City sent reinforcements to reinforce the assassination and how could Six Star City hide from Aswan's ears and eyes, he had learned this information for the first time.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Aswan immediately ordered the mobilization of the attacking forces of the Assassin City and the Six Star City to take measures to deceive the two cities, and then led the main force to rush to Whitewater City, while he personally led the army to drive and approach the city of Whitewater.
He is mobilizing the deployment of troops, and the Tiger Guards are also mobilizing here, basically in the three cities that are horns of each other, except for Baishui City, the other two cities except for the artillery defending the city, all the other troops are concentrated in Baishui City, and they are taking the battle of defending the city, so they can give full play to the characteristics of the fierce firepower of the Tiger Guards.
There were tens of thousands of Seljuk migrants left in the city, this time because the battle would be fierce, some of the people slowly withdrew from the city, which also made Aswan see, which didn't care at all for him, as long as he took Baishui City, it would be equivalent to opening up the passage of the entire Western Liao capital, and when the time came, he would be able to destroy the entire Western Liao.
The battle began in the early hours of the next morning, with the "Woo Woo......! Dozens of huge building carts suddenly appeared under the horizon, which was the ultimate device used by Aswan to break through the walls of Whitewater City, and then the cavalry and soldiers rushed out, and the Western Turkic clothes were still black, so their crowd looked black and oppressive, giving people a very oppressive feeling.
On the city wall, Qian Baguang had not woken up, but he still yawned and went to the artillery positions in various parts of the city wall to check one by one, and his subordinates gave him a telescope on the ground, signaling him to watch the enemy's movements.
"Good you bunny! Where are the wine and meat hiding here? Qian Baguang scolded loudly.
One of his subordinates who had been following him salivated and took out half a leg of mutton with a smile, and said to Qian Baguang: "Hiding there, don't you know that Master Qian, you didn't eat breakfast?" Do you want a bowl of mutton soup that has just been boiled? ”
"Hmmm! : Qian Baguang was very satisfied, he took the leg of mutton and took a bite: "You are quite sensible, but I lost a thousand taels of silver from you before and after, you should also honor me for two breakfasts, give me a bowl of mutton soup first!" ”
His subordinates all laughed when they heard him say this, and Qian Baguang took a sip of mutton soup and said to them, "Laugh at a fart!" Listen well, according to the marked distance, delay by twenty zhang, every third shell extends back three zhang, and the enemy will open fire when he crosses the line."
He bowed down and asked, "Isn't this driving the enemy down the city, what if they can't support it?" ”
Qian Baguang said: ", how can they not support it?" After waiting for the car to approach, it will up, and the rest of the matter will not be our business, and then we will just drink wine and mutton soup together! ”
The subordinates applauded, ran to the gun emplacement, repositioned the ruler, the artillery here was idle, the infantry and tiger guards in the city were even more idle, one by one they were wiping their guns, and then moving grenades and other items from the ammunition box, and the rest of the people were all gathered around drinking mutton soup and eating breakfast on this big cake.
With the sound of the other party's drums and horns, the enemy is getting closer and closer, because the dozens of building cars are the main equipment for the siege, and the Aswan army is mainly around dozens of two-story vehicles, so their speed is not fast, and the huge building cars are crowded with slaves and strong men in the army.
The bare-chested Turkic warriors bulged their muscles and pushed the cart towards Whitewater City, the sweaty muscles were shining in the morning sun, because they had not yet reached the city wall, so there were no soldiers in the car, and it was not so heavy now, and it was necessary to board hundreds of soldiers in front of the city wall, and it was heavy at that time.
Looking at the dense Seljuk soldiers, those on horseback and those without horseback, the interval between each other was relatively sparse, this is the measure they took to deal with artillery, according to the previous combat experience, everything shells fall, and there will be a lot of people who die together, so within the range of people's artillery, the more dispersed, the better.
Without exception, these soldiers are all wearing rattan armor painted black, which is also an effective means of guarding against the opponent's muskets, if you don't take some protective measures, I'm afraid Aswan can't convince his soldiers to come to fight, this time the decisive battle in Whitewater City, Aswan almost took out all his family resources, and he didn't succeed in this move.
In the explosion, smoke and dust were raised, and this practice of firing only a few shells was just the artillery in the city testing and resting the ballistics, but this became a clarion call for the Seljuk soldiers to charge, and they ran forward desperately, no one wanted to be killed by the shells, so the wave of attack began!
The king of Aswan personally supervised the battle, and since his own attack had begun, he did not hesitate any longer, and with a whip of his horse, tens of thousands of his own lancers immediately rushed out of the formation, and they rushed forward with the enemy's artillery fire, trying to scatter the first wave of arrows onto the city walls to cover the siege of the soldiers under the city.
At this time, the cannons on Whitewater City began to roar collectively, and three shots were fired rapidly! It was the best blockade of the cavalry route, and the horses were constantly rolling to the ground with a wail, and the blood mist and stumps were constantly flying, and the startled horses began to run in all directions, and the cavalry had to pay great sacrifices for every distance they advanced.
But this kind of cannonball is thinking of extending the rear to shoot, so the cavalry accelerates and urges the horses under the seat to accelerate the charge, as long as they dodge the opponent's artillery fire, they can charge to the bottom of the city, and the sound of hooves and cannons makes a synchronous "rumble......! The sound of the war horse neighing and the smoke of iron and blood, this is the sound of the collision between the human body and the iron flow.
Tens of thousands of cavalry were able to charge to less than sixty percent of the city, and after basically getting rid of the artillery attack, they converged with the besieging troops and began to throw arrows at the wall at a distance of several tens of meters from the city wall, "Whoosh......!" The sound continued, and the feathered arrows flew up the city wall like locusts.
In this regard, the tiger guards quickly retreated, hidden, erected a large shield against arrows, until this wave of arrows rained out to enter the shooting position, with the commander's order, the dense rain of bullets poured down the city wall, for a while the soldiers under the city mourned, blood splashed, countless dead and wounded!
With huge casualties, the Seljuk soldiers finally pushed the dozens of building cars slowly to a distance of dozens of meters from the city wall, with an order, a large number of soldiers with bows and arrows scramble to board the building car, once the building car is close to the city wall, the Seljuk soldiers can climb the city tower and the Tiger Guard for close combat, because they have a numerical advantage, so it is easy to defeat the Tiger Guard's defense.
Seeing that victory was in sight, Aswan breathed a sigh of relief, and he ordered the follow-up troops to continue to press, he wanted to crush the defense of Whitewater City in one fell swoop, but with a few loud bangs, several building cars exploded and collapsed to kill countless soldiers, and the opponent's artillery began to bombard the dozens of building cars!
"Bastard!" Aswan scolded angrily, but he had no choice but to rely on the bravery of the soldiers to resist the huge casualties, but the defenders of Whitewater City did not take all their strength at this time, a large number of mortars have not yet been put into use, and there are a large number of individual grenades!
As time passed, the city and the city finally stood in a group, and finally a few building cars managed to approach the city wall, and the soldiers on it poured out, but they didn't expect that those guards drew their waists and grabbed them with a single sword, and they cut and killed, and their bravery was not weaker than these Turkic warriors!
With a loud yell, "Get out of the way!" The Tiger Guards dodged an open terrain, a kind of "all ......! The sound suddenly exploded, the water-cooled automatic machine gun finally fired, the Turkic soldiers were knocked down on the city wall like straw, and these people were cleaned up in a moment, with the fire of the heavy machine gun, it also sounded all the fire preparations of the Tiger Guards, and for a while, thick black smoke poured up under the entire Baishui City, and the explosion fire flashed in the black smoke!
"Your Majesty, more than half of our army has suffered casualties, and we still haven't been able to storm the city wall!" The results reported by his subordinates made Aswan want to cry without tears, what should he do now? Could it be that the army will be withdrawn like this, then his kingdom will come to an end, and he will fight to the end no matter what, he gritted his teeth and issued the final order to attack.
At the same time, in Baishui City, Yang Qizhong took the order he got from Xiao Ming, and ordered with a cold face: "The head of the Naiyan Department should also follow me to prepare for the attack----! ”
