Shule City.

Yao Ge Luo Luqing looked at the Tang Jun who appeared outside the city, and his face turned red with excitement.

He has been looking forward to his revenge battle, and he thought that he would have to wait until the future to attack the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate. Unexpectedly, Tang Jun suddenly took the initiative to appear outside Shule City. This surprised him, and at the same time, he became more and more impatient for the battle below.

"The Tang army took the initiative to attack, and we defended the city, which was the best battle situation. The Shule City Guard glanced at Yao Ge Luoluqing, "There is something wrong with this Tang Army. ”

He knew the other party's mood, and he was also worried that the other party would not be able to hold back the fighting spirit in his heart, and wanted to take his own clan warriors to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight the other party's formation, so he warned him.

The Tang army came very quickly, from the time they discovered the whereabouts of the other party to the arrival of the other party's soldiers in the city, it was only half a day, which made them not have much preparation - since the Tang army monks blocked the border some time ago, their scouts could no longer be released, and if they were a little far away from Shule City, they might not be able to come back.

However, it has not been a day or two since Shule City entered a state of martial law, and although the war came suddenly, they were not caught off guard.

What the defenders of Shule City felt was wrong was the speed of the Tang army's march, a distance of fifty miles, and the other party only took less than half a day. If it's cavalry, it's fine, but the other party is an army of foot cavalry, and this speed is incredible.

"The Tang Dynasty is rich, and there are many mules and horses in the army, this time they have obviously made up their minds to raid, what's so strange about hurrying faster?" Yao Ge Luo Luqing was unimpressed by the caution of the guards.

In fact, when the Tang army approached Shule City, it deliberately slowed down, and Bai Niu basically did not gallop.

"Prepare for battle, let's defend the city, after all these years of construction, the city of Shule is high and deep, the fortifications are complete, and in terms of solidity, it is almost able to catch up with Barasagon. As long as we don't make mistakes, if the Tang army wants to capture Shule City, it will take a year. ”

The guard looked at Yao Ge Luoqing and emphasized again: "Don't take the initiative. ”

Yao Ge Luo Lu smiled and said: "Don't worry, although I really want to swallow these Tang troops in one gulp, I won't forget how to fight the war." ”

When the two of them said this, the Tang army outside the city had already begun to besiege the city on three sides.

"It should only be the vanguard of the Tang Army, about 30,000 people. But they neither rested nor camped, and when they came, they directly set up an army formation, and this is to start a siege war against us with 30,000 men?!"

When the guard saw this, his face gradually darkened, and he dared to feel contempt, even insult, "There are more than 200,000 defenders in Shule City, and the monks account for nearly forty percent, including five thousand Qi cultivators, why do they dare to be so arrogant?!"

Yao Ge Luo Luqing also gritted his teeth, because he had been defeated by the Tang army before, and the humiliation he felt was even stronger than that of the guards, "The Tang army has always been so rampant, and it has never been willing to fight me with a considerable number of troops, and every time it is a numerical inferiority, no one ...... in his eyes."

Speaking of this, he paused, and the following words were a little unspeakable.

After all, the Tang army had previously slaughtered his troops under the condition of great disadvantage in troops.

However, he quickly picked up his words, "After coming to Shule City, with the help of the Crescent Moon Sect, the number of monks in our army has changed from 10% of the whole army to 40% now, and the strength has become more than four times!

These words were very confident and reasonable, the guard nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If the Tang army is just for show, restricting us from going out of the city, and covering the main force to camp, then that's it, if you really want to attack the city, we don't have to be polite!"

After he said this, the Tang army's formation had been completed.

The two of them observed for a while, and suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Yao Geluo, what kind of formation is this of the Tang Army, and how can everyone have a big crossbow?" the guard general was stunned.

Yao Ge Luo Luqing was also at a loss, "This kind of formation, I haven't seen the Tang army before......"

Outside the three city walls, the three Tang army arrays, all seven or eight thousand foot soldiers in the center, two or three thousand fine cavalry on the flanks, the distance between the foot soldiers is quite large, the interval is two or three steps, and now a crossbow larger than a person appears in front of each person, and the crossbow is wound and aimed at the head of the city.

The crossbow of the foot soldier was large, and the crossbow of the cavalry was relatively small, but it was the same posture.

Yao Ge Luo Lu smiled, "What is the Tang army going to do here? At a distance of three hundred paces, these crossbow arrows can be shot to the head of the city? Even if the Tang army's strong crossbows are very strong, and some of them have such a range, how powerful are the crossbow arrows at that time?"

At this distance, the bows and crossbows on the head of the city could not reach the Tang army's military array.

"They're trying to prevent us from going out of the city, right? No, their crossbow bolts aren't aimed at the city gates. "The keeper is not sure.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he was suddenly startled, "When the Tang army came over just now, I didn't see them carrying crossbows with them! Could it be that they were taken out of those box carts behind? No, I didn't see them carrying, and the crossbows in everyone's hands appeared out of thin air!"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Ge Luo Luqing was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, how can there be such a thing!"

"Did you see the Tang Army carrying crossbows?!" the guard turned blue.

Yao Ge Luo Luqing couldn't speak, he really didn't see it.

However, if the crossbow appeared "out of thin air", then there was only one explanation, they were taken out of the storage bag by the soldiers of the Tang Army! But the storage bag can only be used by monks above the Qi refining period, doesn't this mean that these 30,000 Tang troops are all Qi cultivation monks?!

Thinking of this, the eyes of the guard general looking at the medicine Glolutian were full of urgency.

"This is impossible, it is absolutely impossible!" Yao Ge Luo Luqing understood what the other party meant, and shook his head resolutely, "Five years ago, although the number of monks in the Tang Army was also large, it was only two or three percent, and I had never heard of an army full of Qi cultivators!"

"Could it be the Wolf Tooth Army?" the defender hesitated.

"Wolf Tooth Army...... I haven't seen it. Yao Ge Luolu was stunned, but he quickly shook his head again, "The Wolf Tooth Army is all cavalry, and the Tang Army outside the city is obviously not! Even if it is the Wolf Tooth Army, it is impossible to ......."

As he was saying this, he suddenly remembered the humming of a landslide and a tsunami-like aura outside the city.

When they turned their heads, they were immediately shocked.

In the formation of the Tang army, a bright galaxy flew up, spread out in the air, dispelled the daylight, and suddenly descended on Shule City!

"It's a magic weapon attack!" the guard suddenly exclaimed, his face full of horror.

He hurriedly took out his hand and took the defensive shield in front of him, covering a range of left and right! As the crossbow bolts blasted out a cloud of aura brilliance on the rain shield, he soon discovered that these crossbow arrows were so powerful that they were almost equivalent to a high-level Qi cultivator's hard blow!

There are too many crossbow arrows in a hundred zhang range, and his defensive shield can't withstand it at all!

In order to protect himself, he had to shrink the defensive shield again and again, and in the end he could only take care of the range of ten feet around his body!

And at this time, the crossbow arrows in the Tang army's formation have begun the second round of salvos!

The guard was about to shout out in horror, but he didn't move, and the rain cover exploded again, and he shrunk again!

By the time the three salvos passed, the guards and the defensive shield of Yao Ge Luo Lu Qing could only protect themselves within a range of ten steps to the left and right! For the entire city, this distance was almost negligible.

And at this time, at the moment when the Tang Army's magic weapon crossbow stopped slightly, Yao Ge Luolu and the guard general found at the same time that the head of the city had changed beyond recognition, the female wall had disappeared, becoming a flat land, and the soldiers on it had also disappeared, leaving only a place of blood and broken limbs!

This is not the most terrible thing, they heard the cries, screams, and clamours coming from the city behind them, and when they turned to look, they suddenly felt that their hands and feet were cold, like falling into an ice cave.

I don't know how many houses in the city have collapsed and destroyed, countless people have been crushed in the rubble, and countless people have been killed and injured. Many soldiers in the smoke and dust were stunned, looking up at the city blankly, more people were rushing to the wolves, it was a completely apocalyptic scene!

"The Tang Army's bow and crossbow, the range is so far? Volleys from three sides, the attack range covers the entire city, and even the central area has not been spared?!" Yao Ge Luolu and the guard general looked at each other, and they both saw the thick fear in each other's eyes.

At this time, in the Tang army outside the city, the bow and crossbow began to fire volleys again.

Hearing the sound of the aura humming, Yao Ge Luoluqing and the guard general both trembled, as if they heard the sound of the gates of hell opening.

If the Tang army continues to attack, no matter how many defenders there are in Shule City, it will be useless, because they will be shot indiscriminately!

And the power of the Tang Army's magic weapon bow and crossbow is too huge, it is already equivalent to the high level of qi training, don't say that ordinary troops can't rush out of the city to meet the enemy, even if they concentrate all the qi cultivation cultivators in the city, they will only be shot halfway!

"Where is this army, it is clearly a demon from hell!" "Yao Ge Luolu lost his soul and almost sat on the ground.

"Where can people defeat such a demon? How can Shule City be defended?"

In the military formation outside the city, after shooting another round of crossbow arrows, Niu Dan and Ergouzi looked at each other, and each other was proud and happy.

The crossbow in their hands is larger than the strong crossbow worn by the Wolf Tooth Army, and the engraved rune arrays are more complicated, so they are also more powerful and have a longer range.

The Wolf Tooth Army is a cavalry, and the cavalry mainly fights on horseback, and the bows and crossbows used have always been light, while the bows and crossbows used by the infantry army in battle are all on the ground.

In short, cavalry was not used to siege cities, it was the task of the infantry army. The reason why the Wolf Tooth Army will attack the city of Barth Khan is entirely because the other party is on their own marching route, and they can easily attack it.

Their real target was not the army of the Black Khanate.

From the appearance of the Tang army outside Shule City to the time when the Tang army entered the city, only two hours passed.

And when they entered the city, Shule City was already a flat ruin, and nine percent of the defenders inside were lying in a pool of blood, and most of them couldn't even get together a complete corpse.

Yao Luo Luqing did not escape.

When the Tang army entered the city, he stood in the group of dead corpses covered in bruises, holding a knife in his hand, with red eyes and tears, staring at the cow eggs and the two dogs in front of the queue.

Pointing to the corpses that were spread out like a thick carpet under his feet, he said word by word: "These are the warriors of our clan! They have also fought in all directions, attacked cities and plundered land, and exchanged their blood for glory that belongs to them!"

"And now, in front of your crossbows, they don't even have a chance to go into battle, they are like weeds blown down by a hurricane!

"And you, you Tang Dynasty troops, you are not people, you are demons, Shura who came out of hell! Your appearance on the battlefield is a disaster for everyone, this is not fair! You will be punished by the heavens!"

Niu Dan sneered, "Only the weak need the sky to fight for fairness for them, and for us Datang people, fairness is within the range of our bows and crossbows!"

After saying this, he took two steps forward and slashed at Yao Ge Luoluqing.

Yao Ge Luo roared, and the beast pounced.

Soon, Niu Dan continued to move forward with his tribes, and Yao Ge Luolu became a dead corpse on the ground along with their kindred.

This city, which was one of the four towns of Anxi in the past, was occupied again by the Tang army after an indisputable victory in the autumn of the fifth year of Tianzhu, on the eleventh day after the summer in the autumn of the fifth year of Tianzhu.

In this battle, there were almost no living people left in Shule City.

The Tang army used this dead corpse in the city to pay tribute to the soldiers of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate who died here more than a hundred years ago, to pay tribute to Guo Xin, the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan and the iron-blooded county king at that time, and to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty heroes who were surrounded by foreign warriors and fought in isolation for decades until they were full of white hair.

Since this day, this war-torn city has once again stood on this bloody land as Shule Town, the capital of Anxi of the Tang Dynasty.
