Chapter 161: War
,
When Kusu Nadine and Satuk began to implement the plan to lure and ambush the Tang Dynasty monks, Chu Zheng, the vanguard of the Wolf Tooth Army, had already led his army across the Bodaling.
Bodaling is the western border of the Anxi Protectorate, and it is also the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Black Khanate, from the Great Rock City to here, there is a distance of more than 100 miles.
In order to guard this important frontier, the Black Khanate stationed tens of thousands of soldiers in the city of Dundo on the banks of the Bodar Mountains. When it comes to the status of Dunduo City, it is roughly equivalent to the garrison city in the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty.
The garrison city is not large, and the number of troops is not very large, but the position is quite important. Once the enemy army enters, several garrison cities support each other, which is the first line of defense.
And if they are facing a large army invasion, their role is more like a cordon, because to really deal with a large enemy army, it is necessary to have the help of a large city with heavy troops stationed in the rear.
It's an early morning, a quiet and sunny morning with autumn days to come. When the light of the day wakes up, the gentle breeze brings the quiet fragrance of the grass and trees, and the sun has not yet appeared, and the red light is already bright on the eastern mountains.
The soldiers of Dundo City, who were in armor and stubborn, shook their spirits on the rammed earth city wall that was illuminated with golden earth. Behind him, the smoke curls up, and the fragrance of cakes spreads out, which is the most tempting taste for the soldiers who have been on duty in the middle of the night.
They were talking and laughing with each other in the city, so as to distract themselves a little, but in fact they still couldn't stop spitting. From time to time, some people looked back into the city, thinking that their fellows should come over early, so that they could go to breakfast quickly.
For these Black Khanate soldiers, although the city of Dundo was a frontier, it had nothing to do with the bitter cold.
This is the western foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, the green mountains and green water, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, if the guards are interested, they can occasionally take them to the mountains to hunt some game. This kind of environment is much stronger than many places in the country where the yellow sand is endless.
The war has not happened for too long, and the soldiers defending the city are also ordinary people, looking forward to ending the border mission and returning to their hometown to reunite with their relatives and friends in the quiet and monotonous days. It may be a pasture full of cattle and sheep, or it may be a city of drunken money.
Some of the soldiers walked towards the city, still holding bread in their hands, and stuffed them into their mouths as they went. Immediately the city walls were filled with a joyous atmosphere, and people greeted each other and said a few words to each other.
But war has come unexpectedly.
"What's that?" Suddenly, a man with a loaf in his mouth exclaimed, pointing to the mountains to the east.
"Look!" more people shouted.
The soldiers looked back, and they were all stunned.
In the mountains, there are large numbers of birds and beasts carrying the morning sun on their backs, and black clouds are roaring towards the city.
No, it's not a bird or beast, there have never been such big birds and beasts in this world.
But if it weren't for birds and beasts, how could they run out of the mountains in a flying manner?
The soldiers of Dundo City quickly saw clearly what kind of existence was suddenly coming.
The other side is an army and a soldier. It's just that they're all cavalry. The only difference is that their warhorses can fly. Although it can't fly continuously like a bird, it is more than ten zhang away in one step.
"What is this?!"
"Is it a demon?"
"Isn't it our army?!"
"No, they are wearing Tang Army armor and battle robes!"
The city was suddenly plunged into chaos, and the soldiers lost their bread and forgot to go to breakfast, and they saw more and more demons appearing, and they could not see the boundary at a glance, and there was no end in sight.
The opponent's war horse is as strong as an ox, but it looks like it
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is a goshawk that can fly and pounce, and the soldiers of the other party are covered in armor, without an inch without protection, and even their faces are hidden behind the armor, revealing only a pair of deep and terrifying eyes.
That's at least more than 10,000 people!
More than 10,000 strong, demonic Tang troops!
The defender of Dunduo City rushed to the head of the city, and when he stretched his neck to look out, he didn't have time to be shocked, Chu Zheng had already taken the lead in leaping up to the city, and when the horse's hooves swept over the guard's head like lightning, the long lance stabbed him in the chest!
As the horses landed on the city, the guards, whose eyes were wide and frightened, were stared to death on the ground.
Countless Tang troops poured into the city like a tide.
No, their present appearance can no longer be described as a tide, because their war horses all jumped from the front of the city, crossed the female wall in one step, and descended on the city like a rabbit.
With their arrival, the head of the city suddenly set off a bloody storm, and the soldiers of Dunduo City screamed and rushed to the wolves, but where was it faster than the fierce beast war horses with the strength of Qi cultivation cultivators, and most of them were still fierce beast war horses with the strength of more than three levels of Qi training?
They were caught up and stabbed by the Wolf Tooth Army's standard magic weapon, the Horse Lance, and died on the spot.
Like a hurricane, and like a dark cloud, the wolf's tooth army struck from the head of the city into the city, and then from the city to the head of the city, and the torrent ran through the whole city.
They did not stop at all, did not delay for a minute, did not even slow down much in their advance, and then rushed away and rushed towards the hinterland of the Black Khanate.
They came and went quickly, and the whole battle process only had the time of a stick of incense.
So it's not a battle, it's just a march.
As for the weeds trampled and the ants that were crushed to death during the march, how could the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army care?
By the time they had left in the billowing smoke, the city of Dundor had become a bloody hell. The city, the streets, the walls and roofs of the courtyard were covered with severed limbs and corpses. The bread that was scattered on the ground, still steaming white, was only stained with blood, and could no longer be eaten.
And no one ate them anymore.
In the aftermath of a storm, there were only sporadic screams and desperate wails in addition to the dead. The very few soldiers who were lucky enough not to die were worse than those who died in battle. The scene they faced was so bloody, cruel, and unbelievable that many people went crazy on the spot.
The battlefield does not belong to them, the war no longer belongs to them, and in front of the Wolf Tooth Army, they are no longer warriors.
The world does not need warriors who cannot fight the enemy.
They were too weak, so what they just faced was just a military disaster.
......
From Bodaling to the city of Barsihan, there is a distance of about two hundred miles.
For an ordinary army, it was a four- or five-day march. But for the Wolf Tooth Army, two hundred miles is just a surprise distance. Therefore, when the wolf's tooth army marched outside the city of Barth Khan, the other party had not yet received the news of the attack and fall of the city of Dundo.
However, after all, the city of Baersi Khan is the city of Baersi Khan, an important town in the eastern part of the Black Khanate, and a key node in the frontier of the Tang Dynasty. In the current situation, they have long received orders from Satuk and entered a state of readiness.
These days, the city of Barth Khan opened its gates for a short time, only three hours around noon, and the rest of the time the gates were closed.
At the same time, the monk scouts in the city also roamed around the city, constantly communicating with other cities and ensuring that the city of Barth Khan would not be raided.
Because of this, although the city of Barth Khan did not receive the news of the fall of the city of Dundo,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
However, when the wolf's tooth army arrived in front of the city, the city gate had already been urgently closed, and the defenders at the head of the city were also in full array, and the monks who came out of the city to support them gathered near the city tower.
All kinds of equipment to defend the city have entered a state of battle, the wolf's teeth are raised high, the bed crossbow is wound, the fork poles are lined up, the stones and rolling logs are even piled up higher than the female wall, and the pungent smell of molten iron and dung juice is even more distant for ten miles.
Full flood.
Looking at the arrogant looks of the guards and the great monks at the head of the city, you know that they feel that their city can only be described as impregnable. And I definitely don't think that a mere 30,000 wolftooth army has the ability to capture the city.
"They don't even have the qualifications to capture the city!" said the defender Luggins. He was Satuk's uncle and the younger brother of the Khan of the Black Khanate, and was extremely experienced in the battlefield.
"The Tang Dynasty attacked us, but only used such a few people, are they here to make jokes?"
"I really don't know what happened to Dundo City now, and let so many Tang troops come over. ”
"Don't be careless, this should only be the vanguard of the Tang Army. However, since it is a vanguard, it is a pathfinder, and it will not be sent to death to attack the city, and the main force of the Tang army should be behind. ”
"Kill it out and teach these Tang soldiers a lesson!"
"Yes, do you want to look at the 30,000 people and show off their might in front of us? Kill them all and let them know how powerful the warriors of the Qarakhanid are!"
Chu Zheng heard the sound of conversation at the head of the city. It's not that he used the power of cultivation, but the voice of the other party is indeed very loud, as if he is afraid that he will not be able to hear it.
Chu Zheng's face was expressionless.
He's not really an expressive, talkative person. When he was in Jincheng County, he often stood behind the steaming water vapor of the soup cake stall in a daze. Only in front of people who are extremely close to him will he nagged like a mother-in-law. This is probably a common problem for people like him.
And now, he only has a city to conquer in front of him, a bunch of enemies to defeat. So he didn't show any emotion, or arouse the interest in talking to the other party.
As a leading general, what he has to do is simple.
Fighting, that's all.
"Whirlwind crossbow, prepare!" Before the battle formation, Chu Zheng raised his arm.
He is also a general, and he is already in the realm of generals, and he is not too far from the realm of generals.
The 30,000 soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army took out the whirlwind crossbow from the storage bag, wound the crossbow arrows, raised them in unison, and aimed them at the head of the city.
The whirlwind crossbow is a heavy crossbow developed by the craftsman supervisor and specially used by qi cultivators. It has now been three years in the army, and the soldiers have long been extremely skilled, such as arm commands.
Thirty thousand whirlwind crossbows, glittering in the sun.
"Is the Tang Army really going to war with us at this point?" Lu Jinsi was stunned when he saw the movements of the Wolf Tooth Army.
"This is a provocation!"
"It's looking for death!"
"What are they trying to do, shoot us with crossbow arrows? haha, that's funny......
The person who said this soon stopped laughing.
Outside the city, an extremely heavy humming sound suddenly erupted, so loud that it was like a snow-capped mountain collapsing and the earth churning. Immediately, the 30,000 soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army were all hidden behind the aura of the sea. Before Lu Jinsi and the others could see the bright hall, a dense meteor shower suddenly fell from the sky, and it fell to the city in an instant!
The sound of the gas explosion was like a tsunami, like thunder.
Waves of aura burst open.
The head of the city suddenly became like a waterfall, broken limbs flew sideways, and mud and dust rose up.
