lazy tang

Chapter 833
Li Deyu looked at the fragmented trebuchet and couldn't help but smile wryly.The smoothness of the first battle made him feel a little overwhelmed.He even forgot that Tang Jun also had trebuchets.Some were lost in the outer city, and there are still remnants of trebuchets in the inner city.

The round of counterattack just now must have been done by Tang Jun concentrating all the trebuchets.His trebuchet seems to have suffered heavy losses.I don't know how many craftsmen can repair them.If it is not repaired, the siege battle will become protracted.This is not what I hoped for!

The battlefield is like this, one side's generals are in a good mood.The mood of the other general will be very bad.Whether you are in a good mood or a bad mood depends entirely on the battlefield situation.

Since Li Deyu and Yousuf are in a bad mood, Zhang Liang must be in a good mood.

"Very good, at least half of the enemy's trebuchets were killed this time. The rest will be worn away slowly." Zhang Liang slapped the cold city wall and said inexplicably excitedly.

In siege warfare, the trebuchet is the most terrible thing.Especially after the Tang army has gunpowder and kerosene, the traditional engineering methods will inevitably encounter a devastating blow.No one can climb the tall city walls under the attack of gunpowder and kerosene.

The most famous battle was the Battle of Shuofang commanded by Yun Hao.After the war, Zhang Liang went to the battlefield and saw the mountain of corpses that was almost level with the city wall.Rao Zhang Liang, who is used to seeing big scenes, also vomited three liters.

"Would you like to go out of the city to do something, the Persians are retreating, it's a good time." Han Dewang asked excitedly.

"Forget it! The outside has turned into a piece of rubble, which is not suitable for cavalry action at all. The cavalry on horseback has to charge like infantry. You know what will happen! People have two legs, and you have two legs. Even if After catching up, the physical exertion is also great.

Now that we are at a disadvantage, we should not waste manpower.After giving the order, the trebuchet stared at the opponent's trebuchet and smashed it.Gather the food and check the fuel again.Let's see how long we can last! "Since we have withstood the attack, we must plan for the future.

"Don't worry, Marshal, there will be no major problems with supplies. When the site was selected, the army's supplies warehouse was chosen in the inner city. Don't look at our outer city lost, but the loss of supplies is actually very small. There is no investigation, but the subordinates feel that there is no problem in three to five months." Han Dewang was very proud of his foresight at the beginning.

"Impossible! The imperial court knows the news, and then mobilizes and sends an army. The army arrives in Almaty to rescue us. You don't even think about it in four or five months. It's better to take some measures and see how to live economically. Okay. After heavy snow just fell, at least the water source is fine."

Stepping on the thick snow, Zhang Liang thanked the blizzard for the first time.

The catapult was destroyed, and the Persians had to die down.Find another suitable way to carry out siege warfare.They also come from afar, and their physical fatigue cannot be eliminated by taking a day or two of rest.

Although Li Deyu was in a hurry, Yousuf was not.He decided that Tang Jun was a mouse in the urn, and he couldn't get out of his hands.Even Yusuf had a bolder idea, now that Zhang Liang was surrounded.Simply surround him here, waiting for the reinforcements from Datang to arrive.At that time, we will cooperate with each other, and after eating Datang's reinforcements, we will clean up this big mouse in the city.

Looking at the complacent Yousuf, Li Deyu couldn't be happier.Almaty is not a suitable place for a decisive battle. The terrain here is too flat, which is very suitable for the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.Although the Persian cavalry is also famous, at most they can fight the Tang army [-]-[-].

Yusuf always talked about the five hundred Templars, but he didn't know that the emperor of Tang Dynasty was also the emperor on horseback.Datang also had an elite Xuanjia army.Compared with the Templars who only know to hold machetes, those people are the devil kings who kill people.

The Xuanjia Army, like a bulldozer, is a nightmare for any infantry, including the so-called Templars.

There is no way to get through Yousuf, and neither can Li Deyu.After all, Yusuf is the coach here, not an outsider.

Two days passed with an eerie silence on both sides.The Tang army did not leave the city to attack, and the Persians seemed to be very comfortable.The whole city collects food and everything that can be used.Many Persians lived in houses that were not destroyed, and it was happiness to have a house in the cold.

Until the fifth day, a black spot appeared in the sky.Then people heard a huge roar, and the black spot was getting closer.Finally, it can be seen clearly that it is a huge airship.

One of the benefits of an airship is that it doesn't need a landing pad.This thing can hover over cities without having to land.

Seeing Almaty, where half of the city was in ruins, the pilot of the airship was also taken aback.Seeing that the Tang flag with red background and black characters was still flying in the inner city, the airship flew directly over.And hovered in the air, and after repeated confirmation, he put down the ladder and climbed down a school lieutenant.

Zhang Liang's face, which had been tense for several days, finally had a smile, and the airship could bring the news back.The court's rescue army will also arrive, and the risk of being trapped here is greatly reduced.

Since you won't die here, there's nothing to be afraid of.It should be an opportunity to catch up with such a big battle.The wealth and honor of the three generations of the Zhang family may be fought in this war.

The captain who climbed down climbed up again, except for taking away Zhang Liang's handwriting.They also took away five barrels of kerosene. Without enough kerosene, they would not be able to return to Tingzhou.This time, it's almost a thousand miles.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Hahaha!" Li Eryexiao's laughter hovered over the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Er was very happy and lonely for a long time.Yu Nei is difficult to match, and he even has an invincible sense of loneliness.Well now, the country in the west called Dashi brazenly launched a war against Datang.

There are two reports on the table, one is from Straits Castle.In addition, the letter was sent by Qiu Shili who stayed behind in Tingzhou, and there were two battles on land and sea.One win and one tie, Li Er was very pleased that Datang was beaten like this in the face of a surprise attack.

"Let's talk about who is right to send. Zhang Liang was trapped in Almaty, and he had to find a way to get him out." Li Er looked at the courtiers all over the hall.

Fang Xuanling closed his eyes and rested his mind. He has been like this during the past two years when the court discussed matters.When people get old, they think about what will happen next.In the past two years, the Fang family has not been peaceful, mainly because of the disturbance caused by the daughter-in-law Gao Yang.

It is difficult to be a family member if you are not deaf or dumb, Fang Xuanling almost hated herself for saying this sentence.If it wasn't for Gao Yang being a princess, Fang Xuanling would have liked to dip him in a pig cage.This slut completely lost the face of the old Fang family.

Now Fang Xuanling is just hitting the clock for a day as a monk, thinking that one day Li Er will be happy to approve his resignation report.

Changsun Wuji looked up at the algae well on the top of the Tai Chi Hall, with his hands crossed in front of him.Thumbs keep turning each other!
This uncle is now the Shangshu of the household department in charge of money in the Tang Dynasty, and concurrently the Shangshu Youpushe.The matter of sending troops has nothing to do with him, as long as he pays for the money and food.It's just that now that Datang is engaged in construction projects everywhere, it is a difficult problem where to get the money.

Cheng Yaojin didn't speak, his family, Cheng Chumo, was fighting against the enemy at Strait Castle.Thousands of Persians have been killed and wounded, and the credit is certain.There is no need to go to that wretched place in the Western Regions to gain military merits!
Niu Jinda usually stood with Cheng Yaojin, and he didn't speak.Because his son Niu Jianhu is serving on the Datang!On the first day when the Datang learned that Strait Castle was under siege, it sailed out to sea.Accompanied by a group of servant ships, they marched mightily towards Strait Castle.

Yuchi Gong also remained silent, his son Yuchi Baolin was dispatching troops to Guangzhou.Once in Guangzhou, they will board the transport ship that Liaodong rushed to.Then, under the protection of the Datang, they went to the Persian Sea and landed in the Persian Gulf.They planned to ask the Emperor Dashi why he came to attack Datang.

Of course, it would be better to bring it back alive.It's okay to bring back the head after death, anyway, the credit will definitely not be less.

Li Ji wanted to go, the political whirlpool in Chang'an was too weird.He, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is walking on thin ice!Can……!He was a little unwilling to let him let go of the Ministry of War Shangshu that he had so hard to get.

After staying in the Western Regions for many years, I have long been tired of staying there.He really doesn't want to eat sand if possible.

The bosses were unwilling to move, and only the two princes remained.

Both Li Ke and Li Tai were making up their minds, and Li Ke secretly rejoiced that his friend Zhang Liang had gone to the Western Regions.No matter what the outcome of the battle this time, Almaty can still be protected in the event of a surprise attack.This is the final credit, and Li Er will definitely be rewarded when he returns to Chang'an.

Li Tai felt sour, and Zhang Liang made a contribution.Returning to Chang'an will only lead to a higher status. If I knew about this, I would have recommended my own people to go to the Western Regions.Guo Xiaoke is a very good candidate. He was one of the people who followed Li Erbai to the battle.

Since he wanted to send reinforcements, he naturally wanted to take this job into his own hands.Zhang Liang can't get all the military achievements in the Western Regions by himself, he has to get a little bit.

Li Ke was thinking that it would be good if all of his own people could reap the military merits of the Western Regions.I should recommend Qiu Shili, this guy used to hang out with Hou Junji and the prince.Now that Prince Hou Junji is down, he pledges allegiance to himself.He is the deputy general of the Western Regions, and the commander is trapped.

It is reasonable for Qiu Shili to lead the troops!
Both of them were thinking about how to hold the errand in their arms, but they were not going to be the first to speak.The atmosphere in the hall was a little weird for a while!

"Your Majesty! I wish to go to the Western Regions!" When everyone was thinking about their own plans, a voice suddenly sounded.
