The distance of one or two hundred miles was not enough for a day's march for the elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army, and they set out from Kulan City in the morning and arrived outside Talas City in the afternoon.

The Great Emir of the Great Eat, who was stationed in Talas City, had been following the battle in Kulun City, where the two armies had been fighting for more than 20 days. According to Mullen, it is now a critical time to decide the winner.

In Xi Luchi's opinion, the battle of Kutancheng has undoubtedly become the decisive point of this war, and it is very likely that there will not be a large-scale battle between the two armies in Talas City, which he guards, which makes him secretly pity for a long time.

He didn't expect that the Wolf Tooth Army would suddenly appear outside Talas, which surprised him greatly. As soon as he heard the news, he flew into the air and overlooked the march of the Wolf Tooth Army.

Not far outside the city of Talas there was a small river, which could not flood the top of a man's head at the deepest point, and the shallows were everywhere. Now, the elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army is galloping from the east, adjusting the formation on the other side of the river.

The tail is still in the smokey wasteland, and the front end is already on the riverside where the weeds are still around, but because of the timely discovery, it will take some time for the Wolf Tooth Army to completely adjust the formation, and Talas City has plenty of time to deal with it.

"The Tang army came from afar, and we just went out of the city to block it. Although the small river outside the city is not wide, it is also a favorable terrain, and the river beach will always delay the footsteps of the opponent's war horses.

The deputy Hu Yanwen spoke to Xi Luchi, his expression was quite high-spirited, and he was eager to fight.

The Guards were well on their way in Kuron, and victory was within reach—at least that's what Mullen said. They were the vanguard of the army, and they came to the Black Khanate early to enter Talas, but they never fought with the Tang army, and seeing that the friendly army was about to make a monstrous achievement, they had no chance to achieve results, and Hu Yanwen was quite anxious.

Now that the Wolf Tooth Army is here, it's their chance to show their talents.

Hu Yanwen's suggestion was unanimously endorsed by Satuk, Kusu Nadine and others.

Satuq said impassionedly: "The Holy Army is fighting in the south, so that the Tang Army cannot shrink in the city of Kulu, and the Caliph said that the Great Army is about to completely defeat the Tiger Guard, so it can be seen that the Tang Army is not the opponent of the Holy Army! As long as the Emir fights, the Tang Army will be defeated!"

Now that most of the Black Khanate has fallen, he, a heroic prince who was previously famous throughout the country, is now spurned in every way. Facing subordinates and officials every day, the suspicious and resentful gaze has already tormented him a lot.

Now that he has the opportunity to see the defeat of the Tang Army and relieve the hatred in his heart, he certainly does not want to miss it. If the Tang army can be defeated as soon as possible and the lost territory can be regained, his reputation can be re-established earlier.

Seeing that all the generals thought that the army was victorious and wanted to fight, Xi Luchi was still very happy, after all, the military heart was available.

But he had no idea of going out of the city to fight the Wolf Tooth Army.

Xi Luchi's voice was calm: "The Wolf Tooth Army is all elite cavalry, long in breaking formations and short in siege, so we don't need to confront them head-on."

"If we go out of the city to fight with them, although the location is advantageous, the river is too small to hinder ordinary soldiers, and if we want to hinder the army of monks, then it is impossible. Besides, the Wolf Tooth Army's war horses are not ordinary war horses, and it is easy to break into our formation. ”

After he said this, many people disagreed, and said that the Tang army could defeat the Qarakhanid army even if it looked powerful, and it could not be compared with the holy army at all, otherwise it would not be able to hold the city of Yunyun.

However, Xi Luchi was determined and was not moved by everyone's words to ask for battle, and gave the order to defend the city.

When the military order was issued, everyone could no longer say more, but could only bow down and receive the order.

But it can be seen from their eyes that they are quite dissatisfied with this military order, thinking that Xi Luchi, who has always been wise, has played a faint move and delayed the fighter.

Xi Luchi looked at the wolf tooth army outside the city and thought very clearly. Maren is about to win in Kuron City, and all he needs to do is guard Talas here, and don't let the Wolf Tooth Army take advantage of it.

As long as his troops are not defeated by the Wolf Tooth Army, cause trouble to Mullen, and hinder the entire battle situation, when the Tiger Guard Army is defeated by Mullen, the Wolf Tooth Army will not clean up as much as they want?

Shangguan Allure immediately marched in front of the army, looked at Talas City across the river, and waited for a long time, but there was no sign of the other party opening the door to fight, and he was slightly disappointed.

"Siege!" Shangguan Chengcheng raised his hand and gave the order for the army to cross the river and besiege the city.

Although the Great Food Army did not fight, and the ability of the Wolf Tooth Army to charge into battle could not be fully exerted, this was also expected by her. On the same day, the army of the Black Khanate also defended the city, but what was the result?

Today's army has been on the road for half a day, but the distance of one or two hundred miles is far from exhausting for a group of Qi cultivators who have been recuperating in Kulan City for almost a month. The 100,000 soldiers are now in good spirits.

When the army crossed the river in a grand manner and ran to besiege the city, Xi Luchi did not send his troops to block it, which made Shangguan Chengcheng realize that the other party had made up his mind to be a turtle, and he would never show any flaws or make any mistakes.

Since the other party can't come out now, then in Shangguan Allure's opinion, they will never have to go out of the city.

The Wolf Tooth Army is besieging the city on all sides this time.

The conventional method of warfare of encircling three and one was not adopted.

Because Shangguan Allure didn't plan to let Tala go

The 200,000 troops in Sicheng still have a chance to continue to oppose the Tang army.

"General, according to the report of the Western Regions Commercial House, the Great Food Army in Talas City is mainly Xi Luchi's pro-army, and there are more than 100,000 people, all of whom are Qi cultivators. In addition to this, there are also the elites of the Standing Army of Great Food. ”

Chu Zheng said behind Shangguan Allure City, "Talas is a fortified city, the city is not particularly large, it is much worse than Broken Leaf City, and the army that can be stationed in the city is limited.

"But Talas was also a great eclipse army, stationed in the middle of the northern front of the Black Khanate, with a lot of troops stationed around. These troops can come to help within two days if they are short, and they can arrive within half a month if they are far away. ”

There are already 200,000 troops stationed in Talas, as well as Xi Luchi's monk army, and within dozens of miles nearby, of course, there will be no more large numbers of troops crowded together. And the reinforcements that can arrive within two days are enough to deal with all emergencies and unexpected situations.

In any case, it would be no problem for Talas to hold on for two days—at least in the eyes of Si Lu Chi and Ma Lun.

The meaning of Chu Zheng's words is very clear, if the Wolf Tooth Army attacks Talas City for more than two days, there will be a Great Food Army rushing over to help.

Even for the monk army, the ordinary army is almost not qualified to fight against it, but the proportion of monks in the standing army of the Great Food cannot be underestimated. Once they cooperate with Talas City, they will undoubtedly create a quagmire for the Wolf Tooth Army, and the Wolf Tooth Army will be in danger at that time.

Shangguan Chengcheng didn't say much, and there was not the slightest emotion on his white face.

She looked at Talas City, and only asked Chu Zheng one sentence, and also asked all the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, "Are you afraid?"

This sentence was like pouring a big basin of oil on the fire, including Chu Zheng, all the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army shouted in unison: "Wolf Tooth Army, mighty!"

"Wolf Tooth Army, mighty!"

For a time, the roar was like a storm crashing on the shore, and the bullfight was angry.

Seeing the Wolf Tooth Army besieging the city, Xi Luchi was puzzled, and finally there was a look of annoyance and anger in his eyes, "I ordered to defend the city, just to consider the overall situation of the war, and I don't want to add any trouble to this war that we are determined to win." But what does this mean?

"A group of cavalry, pure cavalry, actually besieged my city?! What do they want to do?! If there are no guards here, they can do whatever they want and reproduce the old story of capturing the city of Balsi Khan?! My pro-army is all Qi cultivators, although the number is only more than 100,000, but in terms of combat strength, they will definitely not lose to the caliph guards!"

Xi Luchi felt humiliated.

"Lord Emir, let's go to war! The Wolf Tooth Army is too insulting, they only have 100,000 people, and they dare to besiege the city on all sides! We will concentrate our forces and kill a city gate, we will definitely be able to break through them!"

Xi Luchi stroked his thick beard and did not speak, his face was very gloomy.

Half-ringing, he said, "Guard!"

Without waiting for Hu Yanwen to say anything, he sneered and added: "If you have to calm down, victory will be ours sooner or later, so what if you let the Wolf Tooth Army be arrogant for a while? The one who has the last laugh will definitely be us." When we defeat the Wolf Tooth Army, how can we mock them?"

This is reasonable, whether it is Hu Yanwen, Satuk, or even the monks of the Supervision Academy, who do not know much about conquest, they all think that it is very reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Under Xi Luchi's order, his pro-army walked up to the head of the city and lined up densely.

They made up their minds that if the Wolf Tooth Army gave up their war horses to attack the city, they would give the Wolf Tooth Army a head-on attack, and absolutely not show the slightest gap, so that the Wolf Tooth Army could take advantage of it.

Of course, the Wolf Tooth Army would not jump to the head of the city for no reason, although the head of the city of Talas seemed low to them, and the beast warhorse could pass it with a jump.

In front of the strict military formation, Shangguan Chengcheng pulled out his long knife and led it towards Talas City, his eyes were calm, and his voice was not shocked, "Crossbow!"

At this time, the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army had already dismounted from their horses and squatted next to their horses, and there was a giant crossbow in front of everyone. If you look closely at the shape of the giant crossbows, you will find that they are no different from the siege crossbows equipped by the Tiger Guard's foot soldiers.

This magic weapon has a unique name, called Eagle Eye.

There's nothing special about the name, it's just to highlight that it shoots far away, because the eagle eye sees far away.

This is the standard heavy crossbow of the Tiger Guard Army and the infantry of the Yulin Army, which is used by them when attacking the city and plundering the land, especially in the face of the fortified city.

Because it is heavy and large, it needs to be controlled by the soldier squatting on the ground, and is not suitable for cavalry to control on horseback. The cavalry in the Wolf Tooth Army and the Yulin Army were not equipped with Eagle Eyes.

But what kind of existence does the Wolf Tooth Army have?

It was an army similar to Li Ye's pro-army, and Mo said that it was unique in the Chang'an Forbidden Army sequence, and it was also different among the three pure qi cultivation cultivator armies.

Who is Shangguan Allure?

In his previous life, when Li Ye set himself on fire to the Xuanwu Tower, he killed the rebels alone, saying that I used my blood as the person of His Majesty's heroic deeds, and I was Li Ye's most trusted and closest guard in King An's Mansion, who grew up with him and knew his mind best.

In the past years, the wolf tooth army led by Shangguan Chengcheng did not come out of the battle

The most critical juncture now is not to face the most powerful enemy, not to undertake the most arduous and core task, and do your best to win only for the army?

The monks of the Liberation Sect and the Daomen are indeed not as many as the Crescent Moon Sect, but the Tang Dynasty has a deep heritage, and the Chang'an Forbidden Army only has an army of 300,000 pure qi cultivators.

No, he just understands the battlefield, so he uses good steel on the blade.

Li Ye has never forgotten that Shangguan Chengcheng is his most trusted person, and the Wolf Tooth Army is the sharpest knife in his hand.

Everyone in the world knows the Wolf Tooth Army, and even Xi Luchi knows its past in great detail. But do they really know about the Wolf Tooth Army? Maybe they do, but what they know is always history. And Li Ye, in order to ensure the combat strength of the Wolf Tooth Army, is constantly adding new means to it.

Cavalry is cavalry not because they can't fight on foot.

It's because they're elite.

Shangguan, who was in a white robe and a white horse, immediately marched in front of the army, and the west wind blew her cloak, making her look like a god of war.

With her order, in the military array behind her, outside the three city walls, 100,000 eagle-eyed heavy crossbows shot out dazzling flowing clouds. The flowing clouds, which radiated the aura on all sides, formed a brilliant sea of stars at the head of Talas City, and then fell into the city.

The sound of air explosions in the city is as dense as a summer night rainstorm.

The clouds of smoke and dust rose and filled the air in an instant.

Exclamations, screams, and wails were incessant.

The monks who held a round shield at the head of the city, and who were guarding against it, found that the crossbow bolts did not come to them, but fell into the city, and they all turned back in amazement. When he saw the smoke and dust rising in the city, the sergeants fleeing, and the people running wolf, he couldn't help but look stunned.

It's not just people who are hurt, it's also houses.

The houses in Talas City are all made of loess as walls, and now the roofs are broken, and the walls are also somewhat damaged, so naturally there will be smoke and dust.

Before they could figure out the situation and figure out the intention of the Wolf Tooth Army in doing so, the second round of clouds had risen from all sides, and here they rose into the sky in Talas City, converging into a sea of stars and smashing down!

This time, the chaos in the city was even worse, with more soldiers and civilians killed and wounded, and houses were even more damaged, not only the roof collapsed, but even the walls were breached.

Summer hail, how can it penetrate the roof and destroy the house wall, let alone the magic weapon heavy crossbow?

Xi Luchi, Hu Yanwen, Satuk, Kusu Nadine and others also looked at each other.

"What are the Wolf Tooth Soldiers doing here? Do they know that they can't attack the city, so they shoot the soldiers in the city with heavy crossbows, so as to inflict unbearable casualties on us?"

Satuke's face was as black as ink, "The people in the city also suffered countless casualties, and the Tang army was too cruel and unreasonable!"

Kusu Nadine also said: "I think that the Tang army knows that it will not be able to conquer Talas City, so it uses its own heavy crossbow to vent its anger!

Xi Luchi looked out of the city, the cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army, who had dismounted and turned into foot soldiers, his face was cloudy.

"Lord Emir, take advantage of the opportunity to fight!" Satuk began to persuade again.

Xi Luchi took a deep breath for a while, and then suppressed the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

Half-loud, he suddenly laughed, and laughed very proudly: "The Tang army is heavy, we really can't defend it, and the monk's round shield is only enough to protect itself, if you scatter into the city to protect others, the city will definitely be empty, this is an opportunity for the wolf tooth army to take advantage of!"

"However, up to now, the Wolf Tooth Army has no other means to use except heavy crossbows, in the words of the Tang people, they are poor in donkey skills! Everyone, what are the civilian casualties, what are the ordinary soldiers' casualties, as long as the monk army is there, Talas will be as stable as Mount Tai!

"We only need to hold out for a few days, and when the reinforcements arrive, or the battle of the city is decided, the wolf's tooth army will retreat, and then, it will be time for us to hunt them down and encircle them!"

Speaking of this, Xi Luchi stared at the outside of the city with his eyes like a sword, "I don't believe that the heavy crossbow in the Wolf Tooth Army can kill the non-monk warriors in the city." Do they have that many bolts?"

These words made everyone think deeply, although they were aggrieved, but when they thought of the bright prospects of the future, they stopped talking. They just pointed fingers and scolded the Wolf Tooth Army outside the city for being vile.

How many crossbow arrows does the Wolf Tooth Army have?

It's more than Xi Luchi imagined.

Shangguan Chengcheng heard the abuse from the head of the city and the screams in the city, she had no expression.

The most convenient place to fight in a foreign land is not to have too many scruples. In order to win the war, you can ignore the killing, because those are not the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The Wolf Tooth Army is the army of the Tang Dynasty, not the army of the Black Khanate or the Great Food Country, and it has no duty to protect the people here. If there is, it is also after the complete subjugation of them.

This is war.

Half a day later, it was completely dark, and there were no houses in the city of Talas, even the walls of the houses no longer existed, only a ruin remained, and it looked quite smooth. As for the corpses in the pool of blood, there are already too many to describe.

At this time, Shangguan Chengcheng ordered to stop the heavy crossbow shooting, and all the soldiers got on their horses.

The city has become flat ground—not absolutely, but without the barrier of houses, the beast and the horse can already walk on the ground. This is exactly what Shangguan Allure wants.

"Storm the city!"

Shangguan Allure gave the order to attack!
