Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3169
The tide-like Tuyuhun vanguard broke through the wall on one side of the fort, and the horses galloped together like a rushing sea crashing into the back of the fort, splashing blood all over the sky.

Fu Zhong heard the continuous gunshots and earth-shattering thunder and explosions from the other side of the fort, not only the main force had already smashed their heads in front of the fort, he only knew that the rear of the fort should be captured as soon as possible, and then Attacking back and forth, they rushed to the fortress together, beheaded the Tang soldiers one by one, and opened up the passage to Hexi.

He mixed in the crowd, holding the scimitar high, and kept shouting: "Rush up! Rush up!"

The Tuyuhun cavalry ignored the trapped deer stronghold in front of the fortress, and charged up bravely, using the corpses of soldiers and horses to make a bloody path, reaching directly under the fortress.

Yuchi Baohuan quickly ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Boom!"

Countless bowstrings vibrated, and a rain of arrows poured down from the fortress, drowning the Tuyuhun soldiers who were besieging the city.

"Puff puff"

The clusters of sharp triangular arrows ruthlessly nailed into the bodies of the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, blood sprayed, and all the soldiers and horses fell down, and then they were trampled into fleshy mud by the cavalry rushing forward from behind.

Since ancient times, the bows and crossbows of the Han people have been far superior to those of the Hu people. Thanks to the excellent manufacturing technology, they are incomparable in terms of range and lethality.When the Tuyuhun cavalry charged, they shot back on horseback. This was not difficult for them who grew up on horseback. However, their short bows were far from the equipment of the Tang army, and they could only slant their arrows An oblique mid-air throw increases the strength of the arrow as it falls.

But it was easily blocked by Tang Jun's wooden shield.

The Tuyuhun cavalry could only brave the rain of arrows and launch a fierce attack without fear of death.

They kept charging, and soon there was a mountain of corpses in front of the fortress, and the Tuyuhun people behind simply got off their horses and piled up the corpses of their tribe and horses to build a "mountain of meat". Climb up to the fort.

Due to the hasty construction, the overall height of the fortress was not high, only about Zhang Xu, and the corpses of countless people and horses were piled up together, which soon caused the Tuyuhun people to climb up the fortress.

On the fortress, Yuchi Baohuan was holding a horizontal knife, with a stern expression on his face, he shouted: "Kill the enemy!"

The crossbowman retreated slightly, and the sword and shield hand moved forward. Numerous wooden shields formed a shield wall to block the Tuyuhun people who climbed to the top of the city. The horizontal knife cut or stabbed from the gap between the shields. The Tuyuhun people all howled and fell from the top of the city.

However, as more and more corpses of soldiers and horses were killed, and the Tuyuhun people concentrated their forces to attack one point, the height difference between the city and the city was almost filled, and the Tuyuhun people continued to climb to the top of the city, and the blocking battle turned into a siege. In the battle, the two sides fought endlessly at the top of the city, gradually becoming a fierce battle.

The Tang army has superior equipment and occupies a favorable location, but the Tuyuhun people are not afraid of death, and the two sides can only fight within less than ten feet of the city. Most of the troops cannot be separated, so no one can do anything for a while, Tuyuhun People couldn't attack, but the Tang army couldn't drive the Tuyuhun people out either.

On the top of the city of more than ten feet, blood spattered and stumped limbs flew across, like an invisible flesh and blood mill lying there, crazily devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.

In the direction of Taniguchi ahead, the battle is in full swing.

Here in the back formation, the Tuyuhun people began to pile up the horses and soldiers' corpses under the fort, so that more soldiers could climb to the top of the city and start a fierce battle with the Tang army.

The fort lost the advantage of the height difference, and the Tang army was forced to fight with the Tuyuhun soldiers. The two sides fought for an inch and strangled each other.

As more and more Tuyuhun people killed the top of the city, the Tang army gradually showed signs of decline, was killed and retreated a certain distance, and lost the position of the top of the city.

Yuchi Baohuan watched more and more Tuyuhun people rushing to the top of the wall, his eyes were tearing apart.

But he couldn't help it, the Hexi garrison was not considered an elite army, and more than [-] people were temporarily dispatched from the Hexi counties, and they did not belong to each other and lacked tacit understanding.It's okay if you fight with the wind, but when you encounter this kind of tragic hand-to-hand combat, your weaknesses are fully revealed.

Seeing that the Tang army was retreating steadily and almost lost the entire city, the corpses of both sides were densely packed, and the blood flowed like a river. Yuchi Baohuan couldn't hold back anymore, so he simply held the horizontal knife and shouted: "Fight with me!"

He rushed forward with his own soldiers, and at the same time ordered more than a hundred of his own soldiers to supervise the battle. If anyone dared to retreat, he would be killed on the spot!

Yuchi Baohuan rushed into the enemy's formation with a horizontal knife in his hand, and cut a Tuyuhun man in half with the knife head-on. The soldiers behind him protected his left and right sides, surrounded him, and slammed into the crowd of enemy soldiers like an arrow. The knife flew up and down, full of murderous aura, and there was no one who could match it.

However, no matter how brave he was, he could not cover up the fact that the Tang army was inferior to the enemy's elite. Even if the Tuyuhun people abandoned their horses and fought on foot, they were still extremely fierce. battlefield.

The Tang army was also aroused bloody, seeing the main general also went into battle in person, how could he be completely overwhelmed by the Tuyuhun people and give up the back of the right guard who blocked the enemy's main force in the front?
Everyone knows the importance of this battle. In the past few days, the order "you can only win, not lose" has been ringing in your ears over and over again. No one is willing to fear the enemy and cause Hexi to fall.

In battle, courage can offset part of the power gap.Both sides were so red-eyed that they fought and fought fiercely at the place where the fortress was close to the arrow stack, and no one was willing to take a step back.

At this time, there was an earth-shattering cheer from the right guard in front, and countless people yelled, "The enemy has retreated, the enemy has retreated." When Tang Jun heard this, his morale was greatly boosted.This ebbs and flows, but the Tuyuhun vanguard army led by Fu Zhong is terrified, and the morale of the army is unstable.

Immediately afterwards, the horn sounded "Wuwuwu" among the roar of guns and guns, resounding through the entire Dadouba Valley entrance.

Fu Zhong was in the army, and he couldn't help being suspicious when he heard the sound of the horn. He personally led an army of tens of thousands. No one takes a step back.

How long does it take?

Tang Jun actually blew the horn of pursuit...

However, after a while, he was dumbfounded.Teams of right guards moved from the front of the fortress, guns roaring and smoking, and started shooting at the rear of the Tuyuhun army.Gunpowder smoke filled the air, lead bullets penetrated into the formation of Tuyuhun like raindrops, and the fierce and brave Tuyuhun soldiers screamed to the end one by one like wheat harvested in autumn.

Unavoidable to accidentally injure his comrades, the soldiers of the right guard formed a formation, with musketeers in front and guards with swords and shields, shooting continuously at Tuyuhun's rear and wings, and wiped out Tuyuhun's soldiers layer by layer like peeling onions.

The situation of the war suddenly reversed.

If bravery can enhance the combat effectiveness of an army, but in front of firearms, all bravery is just a layer of paper, easily pierced by raging bullets.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command had no power to fight back in front of the firearms of Youtunwei, and could only wait for the slaughter like a dolphin dog, Fu Zhong's eyes were about to burst, and he rushed forward with all his strength, brandishing a scimitar in his hand, and shouted: "Fight to the death!" ! Fight to the death!"

Naturally, it was a battle to the death.

When he saw the right guard blew the horn of pursuit, and then divided his troops to attack his vanguard, he knew that the main force led by his father must have collapsed.

He couldn't understand how the [-] elite Tuyuhun cavalry were defeated in such a short period of time, and he couldn't understand why the long-planned and accurately calculated invasion of Hexi would be so bleak. What kind of crisis will he face... The situation no longer allows him to think about it.

Under the sniper fire of Youtunwei's firearms, Tuyuhun suffered heavy casualties, and the severely suppressed Tang army recovered completely and began to launch a counterattack.Tuyuhun's army was unstable and could only retreat step by step.

More and more Youtun guards retreated from the front, and tightly surrounded less than half of the remaining Tuyuhun vanguard army, strictly preventing the rout troops from breaking through the defense and retreating to the heart of Hexi.Once this happens, these Tuyuhun soldiers will become bandits, roaming around, killing and looting, which is extremely destructive.

The long sound of the horn resounded between the sky and the earth, and the dark clouds in the sky gathered here at some point, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.

Tang troops surrounded him continuously from all directions, and Fu Zhong, who was in the army's blood-stained robe, was full of despair...
