Chapter 480 Chapter 491: Shoot Gai Suwen

The morale of the Tang army was at its peak, and the morale of the barbarian coalition army had fallen to the bottom. It stands to reason that this time is not suitable for attacking the city. However, Gai Suwen ordered the attack. In his opinion, morale is important, but the difference in troop strength cannot be determined by morale. To make up for it, they had [-] troops, and the Tang army had only [-] remnants. He didn't believe that he couldn't take Youzhou City with such a disparity in strength.

Murqin and the others wanted to dissuade them, but they also knew that Gai Suwen was very angry now and didn't want to run into trouble. Moreover, they also believed that the most important thing was military strength, followed by morale.

Seeing that the enemy army was dispatched, Li Hao began to attack the city, turned his horse's head and ran into the city. After the city gate was closed, Li Hao immediately ordered: "Seal the city gate!"

Hundreds of people mobilized together to move the prepared soil bags into the corridor to block the city gate. Li Hao rode out of the corridor and entered the urn city. The urn city was full of young men recruited temporarily. , everyone cheered and praised Li Hao for being brave as a god, living up to the name of a military god, and even more powerful as a god of war, they simply worshiped Li Hao as a god.

Li Hao rode on his horse, and said coldly, "I am here! Never let the barbarians step into Youzhou!"

Li Hao's words brought everyone's emotions to a climax in an instant. These thousands of young men who had just been recruited felt their blood was boiling, wishing they could run to the top of the city and fight the enemy to the death. Their current task is to familiarize themselves with the battlefield, wait in the urn city, and do logistics work by the way.

Li Hao knows that it is okay to be close to the people no matter how much you usually do, but not at this moment. At this time, you have to hold it high above you like a god, let them be in awe, let them be convinced, let them have faith in yourself, and only in this way can you give them unlimited Confidence inspires the greatest combat power of the people in the city, and the spiritual power of people is sometimes very terrifying and can surpass the limits of human beings. The case of a mother lifting a car to save her child is the best example.

Li Hao glanced across the crowd, saw Guan Hong in the front row, threw Guan Dao to him, and said, "Thank you for borrowing the sword, it will return to its original owner!"

Guan Hong stretched out his right hand to receive the Guan Dao, and the heavy Guan Dao was lifted as if it were light in his hand. Seeing this, Li Hao couldn't help asking loudly: "Guan Hong, how is your martial arts?"

Guan Hong hurriedly said: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Although my martial arts skills are not comparable to the prince's, they are not weaker than others."

"Okay." Li Hao said loudly, "You follow me to the top of the city and defend against the enemy together!"

"Yes!" Guan Hong was so excited when he heard the words that he seemed to be going to heaven. He felt that he had never been so happy in his life. Martial arts were popular in the Tang Dynasty, but most people who practiced martial arts had the heart to serve the country. Seeing him like this, he seemed to see the shadow of Xue Rengui. If he had the opportunity, he would study this Guan Hong carefully. Maybe this person is a general.

Li Hao dismounted and took Guan Hong to the top of the city. The barbarian army had already entered the range of the Tang army. This time, according to Li Hao's instructions, the Tang army's archers ignored the infantry attacking the city in front of them. Instead, they delayed the arrow rain and shot the enemy directly. The archers in the rear of the army, and the archers on the side of the Tang Dynasty, are all young men temporarily recruited. Most of these young men have a lot of strength, but they don't know how to draw bows, ride horses, let alone fight. Li Hao recruited them here, I am responsible for archery in the rear. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t learned how to draw a bow. The crash course of drawing a bow is taught for seven days. It doesn’t matter if you can’t shoot correctly. , these are easy to learn.

The Tang army was on the top of the city, condescending and occupying a favorable location. Naturally, the arrows shot extremely far. The archers of the barbarian coalition army could not go forward at all. As soon as they stepped forward, they were shot and killed. Before the infantry set up the ladder, they were already close Qian Archer died under Tang Jun's feather arrows.

Although Gai Suwen hated his teeth when he saw this, he still said to himself: "I want to suppress my archers, okay, then I want to see how you deal with so many siege soldiers!"

Tens of thousands of infantry came to the city and began to set up ladders to attack the city. At first, there were few people, and the ladders were pushed away as soon as they were erected, but there were more and more ladders behind them. He came to the city gate smoothly and began to slam into the city gate, but the inside of the city gate was already blocked by dirt, and he couldn't break through at all.

Although there were many barbarian troops, due to geographical disadvantages, the morale of the Tang army was high, and they frantically guarded the city wall with knives and guns. Whenever they saw someone showing their heads, they would chop them down with a knife. Like rolling strings, the entire ladder will be rolled to the end, or half of them will be rolled away. Not long after the war started, the barbarian coalition forces suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the barbarian coalition had ten catapults. Although they were all small catapults, they were of great help. The stones thrown by them were quite powerful. Once a catapult throws flying stones, it can tear a small gap in the city wall. The barbarian army took advantage of this gap to forcefully climb the city, otherwise they would have no chance at all, because the current Tang army is all as if they have been beaten with chicken blood. It's outrageous, completely forgetting life and death.

There were really too many barbarian allied forces. Under the cover of the catapults, finally a barbarian army came to the top of the city. Li Hao immediately ordered: "Pour kerosene! Burn it!"

Tang Jun threw all the kerosene under the city wall, dropped a torch, and immediately a huge fire dragon sprang up below the city, and even the river surface of the moat was ignited. The moat is very long, and most of the river is still without flames. However, the barbarian army ignored one point. Most of them are not familiar with water, because they are all northerners.

There are few rivers in the north and the weather is cold, so most of the northerners are not very proficient in water. Those barbarians jumped into the moat and never came up again. After a while, corpses were floating everywhere in the moat.

The fire hindered the offensive of the barbarian army, and the Tang army at the top of the city took the opportunity to strangle the barbarians who had climbed to the top of the city and threw them into the city.

There are still many large armies continuing to attack the city. Although there is a big fire under the city, it is not everywhere. Fire oil was relatively precious in ancient times. If a fire breaks out, the kerosene consumed is calculated in tons.

Looking at the fire ahead and the heavy-loss army, Gai Suwen's face was extremely gloomy. There were also soldiers from other three tribes in the attacking army. Murqin felt distressed, and stepped forward to persuade him: "Marshal Yuan, the morale of the Tang army is at its peak. , it’s better to suspend the siege and think about it in the long run.”

Gai Suwen snorted coldly: "Fucking morale! I don't believe it, my [-] army can't take down the small city of Youzhou!"

Li Tai also eagerly agreed: "Yes! Marshal Yuan is right! We have [-] troops, why are we afraid of Li Hao's [-] remnants!"

The rest of the army commanders looked at Li Tai with idiot eyes. Although they didn't speak, their eyes seemed to say: "You know a lot of knitting, and you dare to beep here."

Lu Gongwang pulled Li Tai's sleeve again to tell him to shut up, but Li Tai stopped talking, a little depressed.

The war was still going on, the fire hindered the offensive of the alien army, and gave the Tang army a temporary respite, but the alien archers took the opportunity to force them up, and entered the range, plus the catapult, which caused a lot of damage to the Tang army at the head of the city. casualties.

Li Hao immediately gave the order to shoot and kill the enemy archers with all his strength. After careful research, he found that in siege warfare, it is very difficult for soldiers ascending the city to cause damage to the defenders on the top of the city. It is the archer, followed by the projection vehicle.

Fortunately, Gai Suwen only got ten small projection vehicles this time. Although it caused some trouble to the defenders at the top of the city, fortunately the threat was not too great. If there were ten more, Li Hao would probably have a headache.

Gradually, the fire was extinguished, and the damage on both sides was not small, especially the foreign army. When the messengers went back to report the damage, they were all reported for 5000. So far, the barbarian army has lost more than 2 people You know, the coalition forces of the three races have only lost 5000 people in the siege for a month, and now they have lost more than [-] people in just one siege battle. How fierce the battle was.

"Marshal Yuan! Let's withdraw our troops for now!" Mu Erqin became a little anxious, and his tone became a little fierce, "The morale of the Tang army is too high now, it is not suitable to attack the city. We have already suffered more than 5000 casualties, and the loss is heavy! "

"I want you to teach me how to fight a war! No one can die in a war! If you want to withdraw, go back to Xue Yantuo! Go back and lie on a woman's belly to be a hero, the battlefield is not suitable for you!" Gai Suwen scolded with staring eyes With a sound, he suddenly rode his horse and rushed out, came to the military drums in the army formation, grabbed the drumsticks, and beat the drums himself.

Mu Erqin was humiliated by his words, his face was flushed, his eyes were rounded, and his nose was panting heavily. If he hadn't been thinking about the picturesque country of Tang Dynasty, how could he have endured this kind of uselessness? The ass is gone.

Li Hao was overjoyed to see Gai Suwen suddenly running to the battle to beat drums and cheer. He measured the distance with his eyes, and found that it was about 200 meters away, and the bow and arrow could not reach him. Taking aim behind the battlements, he was secretly thrilled to finally be able to use a cheat.

After aiming for a moment, Li Hao pulled the trigger, and there was a soft "chirp". Gai Suwen was shot, and a burst of blood sprang up from his right chest towards his shoulder. Gai Suwen screamed and collapsed on the ground. They all exclaimed, stepped forward to support Gai Suwen, and at the same time stood in front of Gai Suwen, for fear that another arrow would hit Gai Suwen.

Li Hao was about to shoot again, but Gai Suwen's personal guards blocked his sight, and he couldn't find a chance to shoot. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the group of personal guards rescued Gai Suwen. , At the same time, the enemy began to retreat.

Li Hao put away the pistol, and sighed secretly: "It's a pity, it's not accurate."

In fact, he also knew that the power of his pocket pistol was limited, and it would not be very accurate if it was within a range of 100 meters, let alone more than 200 meters. It was entirely his luck that he was able to hit Gai Suwen this time.
