Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 342: The poison takes effect! Take the initiative!
As one siege after another leaned against the city wall, countless Turkic soldiers continued to climb up the wall, and the pressure on the defenders doubled.

Su Chen's face was grim. Although Li Jingheng and others were standing in front of him, he still didn't feel safe at all.

Bang bang bang!
suddenly.

A two-meter-tall Turkic soldier, holding a shield in his hand, roared and rushed forward. Not only did he knock the Turkic man in front of him off the ladder, but even the defenders could not stop him.

Su Chen's pupils shrank. Oh no!

It wasn't just this one Turk who was so tall, muscular and strong, there were hundreds of them!
These people lined up in a row and one after another, relying on their powerful strength, rushed up the city wall.

In addition, so many strong men also emerged from the other wells!

Come prepared, come prepared!
Go first!

It is the greatest test of bravery!

These burly men are obviously the death squad carefully selected by Yugushe!
They are not afraid of death!

They had only one goal, which was to rush up the city wall and open up the situation for the subsequent Turkic soldiers!
"Jing Hengchu Mo!"

Su Chen shouted, "Stop them!"

"Yes!"

One hundred people joined the battle!

Just now.

Duang!

Su Chen looked and saw the Dragon Cavalry!

He can't sit still?
Duang!

Duang!

A series of dull sounds spread in the wind and snow.

Not long after, bursts of horse hooves neighing were heard outside the city.

They are the hidden soldiers of the Dragon Cavalry!

Su Chen's mind moved. Did the Longtu Cavalry anticipate Yu Gu's plan and hide some troops outside the city in advance?
wrong!

Outside the north gate is the Turkic camp. It is impossible to hide soldiers without being discovered!

They broke out through other city gates!
"Destroy the well!"

This was a cavalry team of only 500 people, but every one of them was wearing armor, even the horses under them.

Most of them carried cans of kerosene on one side of the horse's back.

The purpose of this charge is to destroy the well!

Yu Gushe just looked at it calmly and turned his head to look at Tuo Tuomu beside him.

Tuo Tuo Mu led his troops to stop them without saying a word.

The shame of last time must be completely washed away this time!

"Stop them!"

Three thousand cavalrymen moved as fast as the wind.

Compared with the 500 Yanqi cavalry, they were more agile. While charging on horseback, they drew their bows and shot arrows at the enemy.

Bang bang bang!
However, these people were indifferent to the arrows shot at them.

One by one, they rode their horses at full speed and when they got close to the well, they threw the kerosene they were carrying at the well.

Whoohoo!
As soon as the gushing kerosene touched the rocket on the wellhead, countless flames burst out.

Many unlucky guys were contaminated by the splashing kerosene and instantly turned into fire men, with flames all over their bodies, roaring and rolling on the ground.

"Heavy cavalry..."

Yu Gushe murmured softly, feeling a little surprised.

I didn't expect that the Longtu Cavalry would spend a huge amount of money to build such a force of 500 heavy cavalry!
If they were ordinary cavalry, the rain of arrows fired by Tuo Tuomu and others would be enough to stop these people.

pity.

Only a few of them were shot through the throat by arrows and fell off their horses.

Heavy cavalry is more common in Persia and the Caliphate, but very rare on the grasslands!
It's not just because the cost of building a heavy cavalry is too staggering, it's also difficult to find suitable war horses!
Not only were these war horses wrapped tightly all over their bodies, but the cavalrymen on them were also wrapped tightly!

This places extremely high demands on war horses!

Even if there are many war horses on the grassland, if you want to build a heavy cavalry of 500 people, you have to select at least 500 suitable horses from 20,000 to 30,000 war horses!

Such expenditure is enough for Yu Gu to build an army of 3,000 elite cavalry.

Looking at the 500 heavy cavalry charging around, Yu Gushe couldn't help but lick his lips. This is the small country on the Silk Road.

Small but rich country!

The three thousand cavalry led by Tuo Tuo Mu met the five hundred heavy cavalry.

In just a moment, the cavalry led by Tuo Tuomu kept falling off their horses, while the 500 heavy cavalry of Yanqi were almost zero!

After one encounter, Tuo Tuo Mu understood the power of these heavy cavalry.

"Change the spears and knock them off their horses!"

Swords and knives could hardly break through the armor of heavy cavalry, but spears could knock them off their horses!
Without the powerful helper of war horses, their mobility was greatly reduced. The dozens of kilograms of armor on their bodies were enough to exhaust the physical strength of these heavy cavalry.

Tuo Tuo Mu's tactics did indeed quickly produce results.

With another attack, dozens of heavy cavalry were knocked off their horses and trampled into pieces by the charging war horses.

However, half of the well was also destroyed by them!
More importantly, these heavy cavalry had no intention of getting entangled with them at all!

No matter how Tuo Tuo Mu and his men chased and attacked, these heavy cavalry had only one goal, which was to destroy the well!

Bang bang bang!
Can of kerosene hit the wellhead one after another, and the five hundred heavy cavalrymen were gradually killed in the repeated charges.

There are also eight wells!

"Success or failure depends on this!"

"Follow me to destroy the well!"

With a roar, the remaining dozens of heavy cavalry rushed towards the remaining eight wells.

The Long Tuqizhi stared at the right general who was rushing over and was determined to destroy these wells!

"Stop them!"

Tuo Tuo Mu roared wildly, and the 3,000 cavalrymen around him whipped their horses wildly.

suddenly.

A warhorse fell.

The fallen warhorse caused dozens of cavalrymen behind it to fall down one after another, almost causing a stampede.

But even the cavalry in the rear, who narrowly avoided them, found strangely that the running speed of their horses was dropping sharply.

and.

White foam began to come out of the horse's mouth. What happened?

The cavalrymen were in panic.

Their war horses are their favorites and they have always taken good care of them. How could they suddenly lose their strength?

As the speed of the war horses dropped sharply, many cavalrymen began to feel dizzy.

One cavalryman after another fell.

Bang bang bang!
The last eight wells were burned.

The right general laughed loudly and galloped away into the distance with the remaining five heavy cavalrymen.

Now, the most important thing is to survive.

When he looked back, he was shocked.

Of the three thousand cavalrymen who had been chasing him, there were now less than a hundred left.

The most terrifying thing was that those Turkic soldiers who had already climbed onto the city wall were actually killed and repelled.

A large number of Turkic soldiers fell from the ladders with their heads heavy and their feet light, as if their energy and spirit had been drained away in an instant.

What exactly happened?
"Good good!"

"It finally happened!"

The Longtu Cavalry were overjoyed.

The Turkic soldiers who were once extremely ferocious have now turned into weaklings one after another. Isn't this enough to prove the effectiveness of their poisoning?

The Turkic soldiers on the city wall were quickly cleared out.

The Longtu Cavalry could not help but shout excitedly, "Yanqi Heavy Cavalry, prepare!"

……

"what happened?!"

Yu Gushe, who was in charge of the central army, saw the three thousand cavalrymen falling one after another and the warriors on the city wall being beaten back. He opened his eyes wide in shock.

The advantage was so huge, how come it suddenly turned out like this?

"hiss!"

"it hurts!"

Yu Gushe frowned and looked over. It was the leader of the Qilizhuo tribe, who was holding his stomach and making sounds of pain. The big beads of sweat on his face did not look fake!
"Khan, my stomach hurts!"

"Khan, me too."

"you……"

Yu Gushe was about to ask about their situation when he found that his stomach was also in pain.

In an instant, veins popped out.

"what happened?!"

"What's going on?"

Yu Gushe looked around and found that all the generals and soldiers around him were like this.

Yu Gushe was panicked.

Are they poisoned?
Just now.

The gates of Yuanqu City, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened!
The Longtu Cavalry, dressed in bright yellow armor, rushed out of Yuanqu City first, and behind him were a full thousand heavy cavalry!

These people are the most powerful fighting force of the Yanqi Kingdom.

The Dragon Cavalry has gained a foothold in the Western Regions and is the capital of a little overlord!
"kill!"

The Long Tuqizhi waved the long sword in his hand and pointed directly at where Yu Gu set the big flag.

crazy!

This madman!

Yu Gushe's expression changed drastically.

He was quite clear about the combat capability and leadership ability of the Longtu Cavalry.

But he didn't think that the Dragon Cavalry would personally lead the troops to attack, and he didn't think that they would be poisoned!

If they were not poisoned, let alone the Longtu Cavalry with a thousand heavy cavalry, even if they had three thousand heavy cavalry, Yu Gushe would have full confidence that he could kill them all!

But not now!

"Stop the Dragon Cavalry!"

Thousands of troops are moving forward rapidly.

Some people were extremely fast, while others fell to the ground before they could even take two steps.

The one thousand heavy cavalry led by Long Tuqizhi were like a sharp steel knife, stabbing directly in and cutting these people in two.

"Khan, withdraw your troops!"

"Khan, everyone is in such severe pain that we can't fight head-on. Let's withdraw our troops!"

"Khan..."

Damn damn damn!

Yu Gushe held the whip in his hand and gritted his teeth, feeling angry and in pain.

How could such a good situation be turned around so easily?
"withdraw troops!"

……

It worked after all.

Su Chen stood on the city wall, looking at the unstoppable Dragon Tu Cavalry and couldn't help laughing.

Pity.

If there were more heavy cavalry in the Longtu Cavalry, this proactive attack might have taken Yu Gushe's life.

and.

Su Chen discovered that not all Turkic soldiers were affected by those poisons!
There are still many soldiers who still maintain strong combat effectiveness.

Obviously, some people are physically strong and have strong immunity, while others have poor immunity. It is also possible that some of these people drank snow water.

but no matter.

The morbid reaction of a large number of Turkic soldiers gave the Dragon Turks an opportunity to charge.

Yu Gushe's army quickly retreated.

The Longtu cavalry pursued and attacked fiercely.

The battle lasted for an hour before the Longtu Cavalry returned with five or six hundred heavy cavalry.

Yu Gu was at a disadvantage in this battle.
