129 Bloody Battle of Hami (2)
When the plan failed, Gao Caiming had another plan, transferred 3,000 cavalry troops from the left battalion, and under the escort of the shield soldiers, transported sand and soil to fill the moat, and planned to build a high platform under the nose of Hami City.
King Hami brought two bed crossbows, and the arrows fired by the huge bed crossbows were extremely terrifying, often one arrow could penetrate the shield and carry five or six northern mastiff soldiers and then gallop for more than ten steps. The Northern Mastiff soldiers saw the bed crossbow as if they had seen death, but the military orders were like mountains, and they were still building high platforms non-stop. King Hami brought in a trebuchet, and a huge stone fell, and the dense Northern Mastiff soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Gao Caiming gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Even if you fill in the corpses of the Northern Mastiff soldiers, you will also build a high platform." ”
In this way, the northern mastiff has obtained a bridgehead for the siege of the city, and can shoot arrows at the head of the city, and then steadily advance, and the attack on the head of the city is just around the corner. ”
Where could the king of Hami let the northern mastiff succeed, he ordered the trebuchet to load the oil drum and throw it towards the small hill that was gradually taking shape, and suddenly, the northern mastiff soldiers on the small hill were slippery and slimy, and they could not even stand on their feet if they were not careful. King Hami himself took the longbow, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a rocket was fired.
The rocket drew a graceful arc, and suddenly, the small mound burst into flames, the northern mastiff soldiers hugged their heads and scurried, the originally solid shield array collapsed, and the Hami infantry at the head of the city fired a salvo of bows and crossbows, and shot the defeated Huanxi Sect soldiers one after another. At sunset, the footmen at the head of the city rejoiced. Despite the burns on their hands from the oil pan and the skin of their hands worn by arrows, they cheered and applauded hysterically in celebration of the defeat of the invaders, and the brave Hami warriors defended their homeland with their own flesh and blood.
However, the soldiers all knew that this was just a temporary truce, and although the Huanxi Sect suffered heavy losses after a day of hard fighting, the next battle would become more and more difficult and more tragic.
Suddenly, a figure struck the city like a light, and the soldiers' eyes could not keep up with the speed of the light, and suddenly struck a sword towards the place where the king of Hami was at the head of the city.
Ayiguli was shocked that something was wrong, and hurriedly resisted with the sword, the holy sword Gulizar had not yet offered a sword to the throat of King Hami, and at the last moment, a black-faced man stood in front of King Hami, grabbed the flying sword with two fingers, shook it gently, and threw the flying sword back like a child, Gao Yongchang immediately sensed that something was wrong, the unfathomable breath was far from being comparable to himself, and immediately ran away, Lu Xiaobu stretched his waist and lay down lazily.
The soldiers at the head of the city couldn't believe their eyes, it was such an inconspicuous black charcoal head, a stupid master who hit the battlements with his head was able to catch Gao Yongchang's flying sword with his bare hands, and easily forced Gao Yongchang back, Ayiguli became more and more interested in the cloth clothes and green shirts, and it seemed that the people gathered around him were all geeks, looking inconspicuous, but their strength was unfathomable.
The night is getting darker.
Xu Tianran convened a meeting of generals and colonels above the rank of captain.
Tonight, Xu Tianran indicated the target of the night attack on the sand table map, and rejoiced the left army, because the left army was the closest to Hami City, and today's siege was frustrated, and the morale was low, so he took advantage of the night to sneak attack, and the goal was to eat all the left army. Xu Tianran made specific arrangements, Hu Zengming and Zhang Youjian were responsible for raiding the camp, and Di Lidar was responsible for answering the task. ”
Xu Tianran explained: "Hu and Zhang Erbu are both masters of the rivers and lakes, good at chaotic battles, your palace is to block the pursuing soldiers, and charge head-on, not the director of Hu and Zhang's second department, Princess Dilidar, but there are still doubts?"
Di Lidar touched his chest with his right hand and bowed his chin and said, "Obey, General." ”
Xu Tianran said to Hu Zengming: "General Hu, in this battle, you have to collect five hundred sets of Northern Mastiff armor, and a pair of armor will be recorded as a human head. ”
Hu Zengming said: "The last general will take the order." ”
The cavalry camp sounded the horn, and the soldiers who had been in the camp tent for a day could finally come out, looking at the roasted whole sheep and roasted whole cattle on the teaching ground, and pouring 5,000 bowls of wine, the soldiers were excited, knowing that the time had come to attack, and they were eager to try it one by one.
When the order is issued, there is just one word: eat.
The soldiers were rough men, and they ate meat and chewed it in large gulps, but they were full in a quarter of an hour.
Xu Tianran put on the high platform, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, the Northern Mastiff barbarians dare to camp ten miles away, and they don't take Hami's cavalry in their eyes at all, and they are sure that we don't dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, tell me, do you dare to go out of the city to kill the enemy?"
A thunderous voice rang out: "Kill, kill, kill." ”
Xu Tianran continued: "I know that you are suffocated in the camp tent during the day today, and I wonder if the general has a brain convulsion and let the big guy sleep during the day, but you sleep well during the day and we will have the strength to fight at night, and from today onwards, let the Northern Mastiff Barbarian not sleep well for a day." ”
The soldiers couldn't help but grin and snort, "Okay." ”
Xu Tianran raised his wine glass and said heroically: "Brothers, after this bowl of wine, follow me into battle to kill the enemy." ”
Five thousand people drank a glass of wine, Xu Tianran threw down the bowl heavily, and the five thousand bowls shattered.
Rejoice in the military tent of the sect.
Gao Yongchang was still extremely jealous of the young black-faced monk, there were only a handful of people in the Northern Mastiff River and Lakes who could pick up his flying sword with their bare hands, and a sense of crisis faintly appeared in his heart, could it be that Hami had a Flying Ascension Realm monk guarding it? I had never heard that there were monks above the Transformation God Realm in Hami City, and the strongest one was only Ayiguli, the peak of Jindan, and he was a Jindan who was not good at fighting.
One day of attacking the city, Huanxizong suffered heavy losses, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed, more than 1,000 people were seriously injured and lost their combat strength, and more than 1,000 people were slightly injured.
Gao Caiming frowned, "Father, I didn't expect that the strong walls of Hami Country are clear, we have been running for a long time, and the supplies we bring are insufficient, I suggest attacking the city for another three days, if you can't break through Hami City, withdraw your troops, in the long run, the Western Regions is a piece of fat after all, slowly figure it out, don't be in a hurry." ”
Gao Yongchang's eyes were deep, and his resentment was overflowing, "I have been planning the Western Regions for thirty years, and we must not stagnate in the small Hami country." ”
Gao Caide thought for a while and said softly: "Sect Master, our camp is too close to Hami City, if the Hami cavalry attacks at night, I'm afraid we won't have time to take precautions." ”
Gao Yongchang sneered, "Gao Mi is no more than a thousand cavalry, I wish they would go out of the city to die, just under the nose of Hami City, and make them hate it so much." ”
Gao Caiming thought for a moment and said respectfully: "Father, tomorrow I will lead an army to dig tunnels, as long as the city gate is opened, Hami City will be in our bag." ”
Gao Yongchang nodded, yes.
Suddenly, the left camp was full of fire, Xu Tianran led Hu and Zhang to raid the left camp, and the left camp was caught off guard while still asleep, and the soldiers did not have time to put on armor, and they had no time to get on the horse before they could touch the scimitar and were cut off by the cavalry of Xu Tianran's department, and Xu Tianran's cavalry immediately set fire to the camp as soon as they entered the left camp, and the baggage was heavy.
Gao Yongchang immediately sounded the horn of the assembly, Xu Tianran's troops were as fast as lightning, and Hu Zengming's soldiers quickly took away the armor of the Northern Mastiff soldiers, and then Xu Tianran did not love to fight and immediately evacuated.
At this time, Gao Yongchang had already gathered 3,000 cavalry to pursue, and the Hu and Zhang cavalry led by Xu Tianran gained a lot, cutting off more than 2,000 heads at a very small cost of casualties, stealing more than 500 pairs of armor, and burning the left battalion. However, after all, Hu and Zhang were not regular cavalry troops and were not good at frontal fighting, and Xu Tianran did not meet the enemy head-on, so he immediately withdrew after a successful blow.
Gao Yongchang saw that he was about to catch up with Xu Tianran's motley cavalry, and suddenly, an elite cavalry army on the side launched a charge against Gao Yongchang's department.
After all, Gao Yongchang's cavalry was in a hurry, many soldiers were not even dressed in armor, and suddenly faced with 1,500 elite cavalry with horsemen, and they were caught off guard, and the spy report showed that Hami City was only a thousand cavalry, why the scale of the cavalry encountered today was probably more than 5,000 cavalry, Gao Yongchang's vanguard cavalry suddenly collapsed at the touch of a button, leaving hundreds of corpses.
Dilidar did not pursue and immediately returned to the camp with his troops. She is more and more admired for a green shirt, using soldiers like a god, after this battle, the vitality of the northern mastiff was greatly injured, and the balance of victory has quietly tilted towards Hami. However, tomorrow will usher in the fiercest revenge of the Huanxi Sect.
King Hami stood at the head of the city, frowning, but he still looked cold when he saw the fire in the left camp, and he didn't smile until Xu Tianran led the cavalry to return safely.
The boy in white showed his head from Xu Tianran's arms, and looked at the people all over the city late at night to welcome the victorious return of the cavalry camp, and the faces of the soldiers were all proud.
A little girl with pigtails was in the arms of Ah Dad, looking at the mighty and majestic Hami cavalry, and smiled innocently: "Ah Dad, I will marry the soldier brother of the cavalry battalion in the future." ”
Ah Dad had a calm face and said unhappily: "I only want to get married when I am a few years old, and I am not ashamed." ”
However, Ah Dad's eyes were full of awe when he threw himself at the soldiers of the cavalry battalion.
Xu Tianran Desheng returned, asked Hu Zengming and Zhang Youjian to settle the troops, and immediately went to the Qingxiamen Ice Vault, after all, Yang Xiaobing was still in the freezer, Xu Tianran quietly approached the closed door, only to see that there was no sound of struggle inside, only to hear Yang Xiaobing cursing: "The surname Xu, don't let Lao Tzu see you, see once cut once, see things that forget righteousness." It's so hard to help me find a woman, and I get what I am now. Ayiguli, you old lady didn't save you when she saw death, didn't you just promise to each other, what's the big deal. Lao Tzu has a kindness to Qingxiamen, and he can't even dedicate himself, Lao Tzu already knew that he wouldn't come to Hami, and he would make a fuss if he went to this troubled water. ”
Xu Tianran gently pushed open the door and saw four blood words written on the wall, and couldn't help laughing so much that tears flowed out.
Yang Xiaobing pretended to be relaxed, "The surname is Xu, don't hurry up and put me down." ”
"Who said you saw me cut once at a time?"
"I'm so miserable that no one is allowed to vent a couple of sentences, and besides, can I cut you?"
"That makes sense. Xu Tianran cut the rope with a knife, Yang Xiaobing tied up his scattered hair, and took off his dirty white clothes directly, and planned to go out wearing dirty clothes, not forgetting to complain: "Ayiguli, don't one day you fall into aphrodisiacs, look at me Yang Daxia is also a righteous gentleman, and I won't save him when I die." ”
Xu Tianran took out a set of clean clothes and said with a smile: "Put it on, don't be ashamed anymore." ”
Yang Xiaobing glanced at it coldly, and still put it on honestly, although he was well-dressed, his expression was dry.
The door of the ice library was closed, and Xu Tianran wiped out the four huge "I want a woman" blood words on the wall with one palm, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how did Yang Xiaobing, who had already restrained his spiritual vein, do it?
