Chapter 247: I don't know how thick the sky is
The Turkic soldier shook his head and hesitated: "This is not to find out the news, the Tang army is stationed in the Evil Yang Ridge in an impenetrable manner, and the spies have no way to cross the Evil Yang Ridge and probe the situation in the rear." ”
"General, did you give the order to open the door to meet the attack?"
At this moment, Tang Sumi's lieutenant suddenly spoke: "But with only three thousand horsemen, this Tang people don't take us seriously." ”
"Just open the door directly to face the battle and defeat this group of Tang troops who don't know the height of the sky."
After pondering for a long time, Tang Sumi shook his head decisively and said.
"I'm afraid there's fraud in this."
"Ben will have fought Li Jing several times, this person is insidious and cunning, and he will never make such a decision to hit a stone with an egg."
"He dared to lead three thousand horsemen so arrogantly, he must have relied on something, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of troops in ambush behind him, just waiting for us to open the city gates."
"Shhh
As soon as these words came out, the adjutant general immediately gasped, and then showed a flattering smile and complimented: "You are worthy of the general, you are so thoughtful, we are ashamed of ourselves." ”
"If it weren't for the general's guidance, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the trap of this cunning villain."
With these words, Tang Sumi felt comfortable, he laughed and patted the deputy general's shoulder, and said, "You kid still has a lot to learn." ”
"Pass my order, transfer other city gate soldiers, and give me heavy troops to guard the main city gate!"
Li Jing led his army to a halt three miles from Xiangcheng.
"General."
There was a Malay report that "the soldiers at the main gate of Xiangcheng are forty percent more than usual, and they must have known that our army was coming, so they transferred other troops." ”
When Li Jing heard the news, he nodded with satisfaction.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Temple Mountain.
It's almost time, and according to the time, the wet prince should be ready by now.
Sure enough, about a stick of incense had passed, and a cavalry hurried from the rear.
As soon as he got off the horse, he knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Report to the general, Lord Shi is ready, just wait for the general to give orders." ”
Li Jing took a deep breath, then looked at Cheng Yanjin and nodded slowly.
Cheng Yanjin knew in his heart, suddenly raised his hand, and shouted: "Press forward two and a half miles!" ”
"Tut-tut, look, what I'm talking about."
Tang Sumi's face was full of smugness when he learned that the Tang army had stopped three miles away.
"This Li Jing wants to lure us out of the city, this guy is very cunning."
The adjutant general hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and licked: "The general is really wise and martial." ”
Tang Sumi waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "Alas, low-key and low-key. ”
However, as soon as the words fell, a soldier hurriedly came to report.
It is said that the Tang army advanced again, this time only a mile and a half away from Xiangcheng.
As soon as these words came out, Tang Sumi suddenly couldn't sit still.
Half a mile, that's a lot of distance.
"Or three thousand horsemen?" Tang Sumi's face was full of doubts.
The Turkic soldier nodded, "Three thousand horsemen." ”
This time, Tang Su was completely confused.
What the hell is Li Jing doing, is he crazy and really thinks that 3,000 horsemen can capture Xiangcheng.
In the Tang Army.
Li Jing sent people to push out twenty siege crossbows, and the huge arrows were sharp, glowing with a faint cold glow in the moonlight.
The most front of them is the siege crossbow.
The tip of the cut is wrapped in a thick strip of cloth and soaked in oil.
"Light the fire, release the arrows!"
With an order.
The arrow was ignited, and then dragged a long tail of flame in the air, and shot towards the Xiangcheng Tower.
Tang Sumi's eyes widened as he looked at the huge arrows that came from him.
"Wori, what is this?"
"How could the Tang Army have such a thick arrow?!"
However, the offensive of the Tang army did not give Tang Sumi the slightest respite.
As the first row of ignited arrows landed on the tower, another flood of arrows struck.
"Puff"
There were more Turkic soldiers on the towers, so every arrow that fell took three or four lives.
Tang Sumi never thought that the Tang army would have such a powerful weapon, from half a mile away, and from low to high, it could shoot such a huge arrow.
Is this special mother still a human thing?
You can't even see where the person is, so you called?
It's the same as holding a 40-meter knife and saying I'll let you run 39 meters first, and then hack people to death with one sword.
What's the difference?
However, in the end, it occupies the advantage of a high place, and although the Tang Army's arrows are powerful, it seems that they can only shoot a dozen at a time, and they cannot cover the entire city tower.
So Tang Sumi may have organized soldiers to start a counterattack.
It's just a pity that although they occupy high ground, there are still a few marksmen.
Most of the arrows fell after flying out about 200 meters, and they couldn't touch the Tang army at all.
"Go and bring the crossbow arrows to Lao Tzu!"
Soon, rows of powerful crossbows were erected above the tower.
This time, the effective range of the bolts has been increased considerably.
But the power is really indescribable.
Cheng Yanjin watched the crossbow arrows fall lightly in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "Ready, release the arrows, and give me a hard beating!" ”
A crossbow arrow burst out, instantly shattering the powerful crossbow erected on the tower, and piercing through the chest and abdomen of the Turkic soldiers.
At the same time, a mountain peak in Sishan, at the same time as the firelight in the air on the south side of Xiangcheng was lit, one after another firelight shot down, heading towards the city gate on the west side of Xiangcheng.
One after another, a flaming arrow was nailed to the city gates.
The gate on the east side of Xiangcheng was soon burned.
In the darkness, Qin Shou saw the burning city gate, turned to look at the soldiers behind him, and said slowly: "Oh rush! ”
With that, he grabbed the silver spear of gentian, shook the reins, and led three hundred cavalry to rush down.
The cost of giant arrows is extremely high, even if Li Shimin made a ruthless effort to cast a batch of arrows.
But it can't stand such consumption.
After all, he doesn't have a system mall with good quality and low price.
Can't be so capricious as Qin Shou.
Li Jing's actions on the south side were actually just covering for Qin Shou, and it was obvious that the effect was obvious.
In order to deal with the attack on the south side, Tang Sumi mobilized a large number of troops to garrison the south city gate.
The east gate was on fire, and under the impact of the giant arrows, it collapsed.
At this time, the forces on the eastern flank were weak.
Qin Shou led three hundred horsemen to rush down from a high place, and under the cover of giant arrows, the Turkic soldiers in the city tower had no way to counterattack with arrows.
had no choice but to assemble under the city tower and face Qin Shou's army head-on.
The Turkic cavalry and the Tang cavalry collided head-on.
Because the prince was charging in front, the Tang soldiers could be said to be hungry wolves preyding, and rushed forward like crazy.
The little commander of the Turkic soldiers saw Qin Shou rushing forward at a glance.
With the charge of the Tang soldiers, the distance narrowed, and the small Turkic commander saw clearly that it was a young man in silver armor who was charging ahead.
The young man had a delicate face and a thin body, and he looked weak.
The Turkic commander smiled a little evilly, and immediately raised his long knife and drove his horse to meet him.
As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, and this young man is obviously the leader of this Tang army.
And with such a thin body, he dares to rush forward so big, isn't this Chi Guoguo's death-seeking?
So, the Turkic commander roared, raised his long knife and slashed towards Qin Shou.
