"Toot ~!" the long horn sounded in the early morning of the imperial capital city.

There was no confrontation between the two armies before the battle, and there was no rest. When the rebels arrived at the imperial capital, they were two days late, and they had already stepped out of the chariot, and Yang Hu, who was sitting on horseback, was really angry.

He let twelve light horsemen, carrying twelve heads, run outside the imperial city, and with the iron spear in his hand throwing, the twelve heads fluttered with the wind outside the gate of the imperial capital.

Twelve light horsemen stood on the side of the iron spear, and one of them drove his horse forward a few steps, shouting at the head of the city at the top of his voice: "I heard that General Shi Mingshi is in the city?"

Above the city, countless bows and arrows poked their heads out of the battlements. Several guards turned around slightly, making way for a person's gap, Shi Fenming squeezed to the front, blocking his forehead with his hand, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking.

"Your grandfather is in town. Shi Fenming was not polite, and immediately replied.

The light rider pulled out his horizontal knife from his waist and pointed in the direction where the voice came from: "Shi Ming, in order to allow you to enter the Imperial Capital City one step earlier, these twelve people have sold a lot of strength, and now their heads are hanging here." We have all given you two paths, either go out of the city and surrender, or, like them, move your head. ”

The light horse stretched out his hand and gestured in front of his neck, and a few sneers came out of his throat: "I advise you that it is better to surrender, stick to stubborn resistance, and in the end you will die under the sword of our Anxi border army." ”

"Get out of your mother!" Shi Fenming spat at the city, and had already reached out from the hands of the soldiers beside him, snatched the bow and crossbow, reached out and buckled the hanging knife, and the arrow left the string.

The light horseman who was still full of sneers at the last moment, but he never expected that Shi Fenming would dare to release the cold arrow at this time, and immediately pulled the reins of the horse, and wanted to retreat a few steps.

Kankan dodged the flying arrow, which was slashed through the cheek of the light horseman, and the triangular arrow left a mark on his face.

The light horse turned his head and glared viciously a few times, but he did not dare to continue shouting, so he could only hurriedly drive the horse back under his feet.

A string of laughter immediately sounded above the city, and some faintly ugly words spread from the mouths of these untaboo city defenders to the ears of the twelve light horsemen.

In the distance, on the Pingchuan, Yang Hu held the handle of the knife on his waist, squinting his eyes at the situation under the city, and on his side, it was Anton, who wanted to balance Yang Huzi's new establishment a few days ago.

It's a pity that this new protector of the capital has just taken office, and he encountered Yang Huzi's rebellion. Ordinary capital protectors may choose to repay the country with death, Yelu Naye is different, he almost didn't think about it, so he handed over the handsome seal in his hand to Yang Huzi's hands.

At this time, both of them were sitting on horseback, looking at the head of the imperial capital city together.

"This history is clear, I had a lot of dealings with me in the early years, and it is a difficult person, and if you want to take this imperial capital, you still need to pay after all

Some strength. The beard of the poplar trembled, and his expression was cloudy.

"If you have heard of it, then let the last general personally lead the army and go to meet him. Jerunaya clenched his fist at the Beard, who was not very tall, but had a spear about three feet long, standing at the side of the horse under his hip.

"Hmm!" Yang Huzi reached out and patted Yelu Naye's shoulder and nodded: "Only if you go, I can rest assured." ”

Turning back and lighting his soldiers, as the two flag-bearers raised the big flag in their hands, the horses under the crotch of Yelu Naye began to move forward slowly.

He reached out and pulled his spear from the ground, staggered it to his side, and made a charging stance.

The two flag-bearers behind him also knelt on the back of their horses.

Siege warfare has never been won by cavalry, and the infantry who really stands behind the cavalry is the main force of siege warfare.

The ladders and rushing cars have already revealed their heads, and these essential weapons for siege are all brought to the imperial capital from the border pass with Yang Huzi.

It's not that it's too late to rush to make it, but these siege weapons have always been the best in their border army, and whoever called them the Lord Protector used to be able to call His Majesty the Son of Heaven "Father".

Now, if the control of the military department from the imperial capital is broken, half of the sophisticated armaments will be broken.

To put it simply, Yang Huzi couldn't afford this battle, so he just came to the outside of the imperial capital, and he didn't even rest, so he was going to attack the city in a hurry.

Not to mention these sophisticated armaments, even before leaving the imperial capital, the three million stone grains and grass that the household department should have ordered have not even seen a shadow until now.

There are not a few rebels who know the inside story, but they still choose to follow Willowbeard. These soldiers who have been under Yang Hu Zi for I don't know how many years have been brought out by Yang Hu one by one.

The soldiers in the army, as long as they have some resume, he can recite Yang Hu backwards, even if he is a new soldier, when he arrives under Yang Huzi, he will only think that when he can protect the adults in front of them, he can tell their resumes.

"Take the Imperial Capital City, the little ladies in the city are all ours!" The spear in Yelu Naye's hand suddenly pointed forward, and the horses under his crotch had suddenly accelerated, turning into a black shadow, and rushed in the direction of the imperial capital city.

The two banners followed closely behind Yelu Naye, and many soldiers chanted in their mouths, and they couldn't really hear what they were shouting, but the morale was definitely not comparable to the garrison soldiers in the imperial capital.

These are all iron horses that Datang spent an unknown amount of effort to build, but they were never used to deal with the Turkic barbarians, but one day, these iron horses turned their horses' heads and aimed at the Tang Dynasty who raised them.

Many cavalrymen raised their weapons in their hands, and after the military formation, the sound of drums began to sound behind Pingchuan.

With the dense beating of drums, the horses under the crotch of the cavalry followed the sound, more and more

The sooner.

On the head of the imperial capital, there were no drums, and there was no need to beat drums in the face of the cavalry, only a round of volleys, and these cavalry had to turn their horses' heads and withdraw into the military formation.

Standing on the high platform, Shi Fenming nodded slightly to several captains in the distance, and had already given an order.

The cavalry outside the city was not far below the city, and at this time it was almost within the range of crossbow arrows.

"Release!" I don't know which lieutenant was the first to speak, and there were countless crossbow arrows, all in unison. The ordinary bow and crossbow of the regular army of the Tang Dynasty are not the longbows used by those stragglers who do not have official military status.

It is a repeater improved by the skilled craftsmen of the Imperial Capital's Ministry of Industry, which can shoot eight crossbow arrows in one breath, but the range is not much worse than those longbows that rely entirely on arm strength to support.

Countless arrows came from the pavement, and the leading Jeronaya did not seem to be in a hurry, nor did he immediately order his cavalry to stop, and still rushed forward.

It's just that the spear in Yelunaya's hand is raised, and the spearhead is not very dazzling in the early morning light, but the cavalry behind him can see it very clearly.

The pace of these cavalry slowed slightly, and the cavalry in the back row came out, but they all held iron shields in their hands. The iron shield was raised, protecting countless cavalry behind him.

Earlier, the most advanced cavalry were all heavy cavalry wrapped in armor, and it stands to reason that these crossbow arrows shot down from the city should only hurt these cavalry, making it difficult for them to impact quickly, and in the end, although they may be eaten by the Tang Dynasty soldiers at the head of the city, it is definitely not a feat that can be completed in a while.

Datang Iron Cavalry, how strong!

But it is obvious that Yelu Naye is a battle-hardened veteran, and he doesn't even want to take the slightest mistake, these are all joking with the lives of his soldiers.

Without ordering his soldiers to throw out a second round of crossbow arrows, Shi Mingming had already reached out and stopped a few impulsive captains under him.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he cast a disdainful expression at Yelu Naye in the distance, dealing with ordinary straw bun generals, this trick is indeed somewhat useful, and against him, it is obvious that he is a little underestimated by his history.

"Shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, this truth, even if you don't have any culture, you need to understand, in case you become a general one day,......" Shi Fenming did not continue to say.

The captains and soldiers under his command are not fools, and the iron cavalry with iron shields is only cavalry after all. Even the iron cavalry, in the years of fighting against the Turkic barbarians, has gradually transformed into a lighter light cavalry.

When fighting those Turkic barbarians, speed is far more important than lethality.

Shi Fenming's words paused, but his eyes did not pause, his eyes looked at the rear of the military formation under the city, thinking about it, that side should have already moved.
