Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 376 Blood and Fire (1)

Looking at the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were busy preparing for battle at the head of the city of Fanghan, Herzzan's ferocious face did not show the slightest hint of complacency about his success, on the contrary, there was a strong sense of cruelty and hatred. The reason why the city lost more than a thousand troops, but because it was scolded by the envoy sent by Gar Qinling yesterday in front of his generals, which made Herzzan very embarrassed He couldn't hold on any longer, and when he thought about it, he captured An Township by himself. The capture was so huge, no matter what he did, it should be a great achievement. Even if he failed to capture the city of Fanghan on time, it was only a day or two away. No matter what, he shouldn't be humiliated like this. The evil fire in his heart is amazingly strong, but he dared not show the slightest disrespect to Gar Qinling, even if he was given two more guts, he would not dare , So hot, he had no choice but to send it to the defenders of Datang.

"Bring up the drums!"

Seeing that the strong attack of his own soldiers had already begun, Hertzan turned over and got off his horse, waved his hand, and roared through gritted teeth.As soon as this remark was made, some of the personal guards scrambled to carry up the war drum seized in Anxiang County yesterday. Hertz praised him, pulled off the cloak behind him, picked up the drumsticks, and jumped onto the drum cart , With a wave of both hands, the sound of rumbling drums immediately exploded.

This time, the Tuza coalition army did not send the Salar tribe soldiers with extremely poor combat effectiveness to the battle, but launched a strong attack with the main force as soon as they came up. The two thousand-man square troops marched until they were [-] steps away from the city. When it was within the range of the hand, just then let out a cry and ran wildly with his feet. At the same time, the two Tubo cavalry brigades who had rushed to the city one step earlier rode and shot to cover, and poured waves of arrows towards the city. head, forcibly suppressed the counterattack of the crossbowmen at the top of the city, and when the infantry arrived, they immediately dodged the front and swam on both sides. The charging distance was so short that there were less than ten Tubo infantry who fell on the charging road.

"Vertical ladder, go to the city!"

The two heads of thousands of households in Tubo issued an attack order almost at the same time. In an instant, thirty ladders were raised in unison, leaning against the top of the city suddenly. The thirty daredevils standing on the top of the ladders used With this momentum, he jumped up to the top of the city, and instantly fought with the defenders who rushed up. Although most of them were cut into pieces by Tang army officers and soldiers without a firm foothold, there were still five Tubo warriors. They successfully gathered together, firmly protected the two ladders behind them, and covered the follow-up soldiers climbing towards the top of the city.

"Follow me and beat the thief down!"

Zhang Mingwu, who was commanding the battle at the city gate tower, had sharp eyes. When he saw the five Tubo warriors with high martial arts skills, the surrounding Tang army not only failed to take down these five people, but were killed and wounded more than a dozen people by the five men. He immediately became anxious and shouted With a sound, he will lead his guards to rush forward.

"Master Zhang, Mr. Li is going, you command!"

Li Yaodong was following closely behind Zhang Mingwu. Seeing that Zhang Mingwu was about to make a move himself, he dared not be negligent, so he quickly stretched out his hand to block Zhang Mingwu's way. In the midst of the chaotic army in the melee, he turned around and rushed to the side of the five Tubo warriors in just a few breaths. Without much nonsense, the horizontal knife in his hand flicked and turned into a bright light. With the light of the knife, he unceremoniously attacked five people with one move.

"kill!"

"what!"

The five Tubo warriors are obviously also masters. Although their personal martial arts are not as good as Li Yaodong's, they obviously have a set of combined attack skills. Seeing Li Yaodong's fierce approach, they each shouted wildly, and the five swords criss-crossed For a while, they became one with each other, and after a burst of crisp sounds like rain weaving, they actually took Li Yaodong's extremely ruthless attack head-on.

"Look at the fight!"

Li Yaodong apparently didn't expect these five Tubo soldiers to be so difficult to deal with, and his heart sank. Just as he was about to attack again, he heard a sudden sound, and immediately saw a huge meteor hammer coming from the rebellious army. The crowd screamed and smashed out, and crashed into the formation of five Tubo brave men unstoppably. Although they did not win the battle, they were forced to disperse and dodge, and the momentum of the joint attack was knocked out. There was a big flaw, the person who made the shot was the burly man Wang Tong who rescued Li Yaodong with the iron cable yesterday.

"Wang Tong, well done!"

Li Yaodong reacted very quickly. Seeing that the five Tubo warriors had revealed their openings, he would not let go of this good opportunity to annihilate the enemy. In the formation of the five Tubo warriors, the horizontal knife in their hands danced like a wheel, killing two of them in a few strokes, and the remaining three couldn't help but panic when they saw Li Yaodong's bravery, but Unwilling to retreat, roaring and slashing his knife, he made a quick attack, intending to entangle Li Yaodong desperately and buy time for his own soldiers to follow up on the city.

"Wang Tong, attack the ladder!"

Although Li Yaodong is not afraid of the three Tubo warriors fighting so hard, it is difficult to take down each other in a short time. Seeing that the Tubo soldiers who climbed the city later have poked their heads out of the ladder, Li Yaodong became anxious immediately , while fighting hard with the three Tubo warriors, he shouted loudly.

"Don't worry shopkeeper, look at mine!"

Wang Tong was also born in a powerful man in the Jianghu, and his meteor hammer made him superb. He was nicknamed "chasing the stars and chasing the moon" in the Jianghu, but he laughed and swung the meteor hammer away. The chain moved like a snake, half the size of a watermelon. After hitting the hammer head left and flicking right, just like the game of "whacking a mouse" in later generations, all the Tubo soldiers who dared to come out of the city were beaten down from the city. A Tubo soldier rushed up to the city, and the defenders cheered unceasingly with their miraculous skills, and their morale was greatly boosted. For a while, they overwhelmed the Tubo soldiers.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

With Wang Tong's support from the side, Li Yaodong immediately had no worries. He shouted and swung his saber to fight with three Tubo warriors. In the blink of an eye, he was able to hold down the three of them with his own strength. , After more than ten moves, the three Tubo warriors were forced to retreat to the city plate. Seeing that they would die if they continued to fight, the three of them lost the courage to persevere, and only wanted to jump off the city wall to escape, but Li Yaodong But he didn't want to let these three brave men go, so he used strong moves frequently, forcing the three of them to the city plate, and after a fierce battle, he slaughtered the three of them on the spot!
"Trash! It's all trash! Send the order down, the cavalry presses forward, and shoots from cover!"

Hezzan, who was beating the drum vigorously at the back of the formation, saw that his side's attack was not good, and immediately became angry. He dropped the drumstick in his hand and gave the order with a loud roar. The Tubo cavalry wandering on both sides of the battlefield pressed up again, almost clinging to the backs of their own infantry rushing to the city, desperately firing arrows at the top of the city, regardless of whether they accidentally injured their own climbing infantry.

"Fried eggs, throw the bomb!"

When the Tubo cavalry pressed on like this, the officers and soldiers of the Tang army who were fighting fiercely at the top of the city suffered a big loss immediately. Many soldiers who probed to attack the Tubo infantry were hit by arrows and fell to the top of the city howling. The strong suppression of the pawns, seeing the Tubo pawns jumping up from the city plate risking their lives, Zhang Mingwu immediately became anxious, and while slashing his knife at the Tubo pawns who jumped up to the top of the wall, he yelled orders.

"Ignite, cast!"

Among the guards of the caravan, except for Li Yaodong and Wang Tong who have joined in the melee, the rest are all in the reserve team, and they are all lined up near the gate tower at this moment. Zhang Mingwu has issued a general order , I didn't dare to be negligent, and they picked up the ceramic pots and rushed everywhere under the rain of arrows, and dropped the ignited bombs into the city. Suddenly, rumbling explosions rang out one after another, and smoke During the rolling, shrapnel flew in all directions, causing the Tubo infantry to howl like ghosts and wolves. However, this group of Tubo soldiers were extremely brave. Climb endlessly.

"Drop the bomb, keep dropping, don't stop!"

Li Yaodongfang beheaded the three Tubo warriors on the spot. Looking back, he saw that a wave of bombs could not suppress the Tubo people's offensive. , ordered the caravan guards to drop bombs down the city.

"Boom, boom..."

With Li Yaodong's order, the guards of the caravan did not dare to be negligent, and dropped the bombs that had been placed on the top of the city one after another. Amidst the rumbling sound of the explosion, the Tubo infantry finally couldn't hold on anymore, Gu Those who could not obey the order fled to the back of the formation in disorder.

"Come on, keep attacking, don't be afraid, that thing slams loudly, but it only hurts people but not life, let me listen carefully, anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!"

Herzzan had suffered from bombs last time, and had a certain understanding of this thing long ago. Seeing his vanguard troops return in defeat in front of bombs again, he felt a burst of anger in his heart, and he didn't wait to collapse The soldiers retreated to the main formation, waved to the second wave of siege troops lined up behind them, and shouted loudly.

"Woooo..."

After Hertz praised the general, the shrill horn sounded, and the two thousand Tubo infantry rushed forward, yelling, not caring that their own defeated troops were fleeing towards the main formation, roaring and rushing forward. Frightened, a group of rout soldiers hurriedly dodged to the sides.

"Prepare for war, prepare for war!"

The defenders on the top of the city had just repelled a group of enemy troops, and before they had time to get excited, they immediately saw the second wave of enemy troops roaring towards them. They couldn't help but panicked. They were at a loss when they heard Zhang Mingwu Shouting loudly, everyone woke up from their ignorance, and ran to their respective positions in disorder to meet the second attack of the Tubo army.
