Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 275 People, after all, there is still a bottom line

The fierce shooting continued, but the duel between the 500 people's crossbowmen was so tragic that it sent chills down Khan Renyu's spine.

The flying crossbow arrows kept piercing through the chests and abdomens of the soldiers on both sides. Even a few arrows in the three-layer armor would kill them, not to mention that the crossbowmen themselves would not wear too thick armor.

Of course, this is also determined by the special terrain, if it is not in a river bend full of rocks that is not conducive to running, but in a normal plain or mountain.

The crossbowmen had only two or three shots before the enemy had already rushed to the front of the formation. Naturally, there was no point in shooting, but here, the cruelty and cruelty of the crossbow arrows were greatly magnified.

Gradually, the magic-armed archers of the Guiyi Army gained the absolute upper hand. Although their number was only about [-]% of the number on the opposite side, the speed of winding the magic-arm bow was more than three times that of the horned crossbow, and the difficulty of winding it was much lower.

Under the blow of this violent storm, the 100 Uyghur left tent crossbowmen lost an astonishing [-] people in less than a quarter of an hour.

At first they dared to shoot at the god-armed archers of the Guiyi Army, but later on, the speed of the crossbowmen getting forward became slower and slower.

Finally, when a certain crossbowman couldn't bear the fear of stepping forward to die, the left tent crossbowman collapsed as a whole, and even the officer didn't stop it, because there was no way to stop it, and he even wanted to run away himself.

Renyu Khan's heart was bleeding, and the anger finally blinded the Uighur Khan's mind.

These horned crossbows are extremely precious to the Ganzhou Uighurs who don't have much manufacturing capacity. If they can't take down the Guiyi Army on the opposite side, this loss alone will cause his prestige to plummet.

'choke! Khan Renyu drew out the long sword at his waist, "Beat the drum, march forward, attack with thousands of households on the left and right of the imperial tent!"

Zuo Dayehu wanted to persuade them at this time, but everyone else on the battlefield was collectively in a frenzy. With 9000 people, the opponent was less than 5000 people. Even if it was a foot battle, the advantage was obvious.

What's more, the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs have been enemies for hundreds of years, especially in the last 20 years.

First, 20 years ago, the Ganzhou Uighurs attacked the city of Dunhuang, forcing Zhang Chengfeng to appoint the Ganzhou Uighurs Renmei Khan as his father.

Then, ten years ago, after Cao Yijin's ten-year gathering, he conscripted all the young men of the rebel army, gathered an army of [-], and broke Ganzhou City in one fell swoop.

He forced to death Diyin Khan, the Uyghur in Ganzhou at that time, and made A Duoyu, who was willing to marry Cao Yijin's daughter, as Khan.

The hatred between the two sides can't be finished for ten days and ten nights. After Renyu Khan ordered the whole army to attack, the battle at the river bend directly changed from the original mutual probing and pulling down the stone wall of the Guiyi army. It turned into a brutal hand-to-hand fight.

The gray and black double amplifiers collided suddenly, and the large and small phalanxes strangled together in the first place, just like 20 years ago, ten years ago.

Fifteen miles to the north of the battlefield, the city wall of Suzhou can already be vaguely seen here. This is a long and narrow flat land between Jinta Jiashan and Suzhou City.

Originally, in the past, this place should be a sign of busy farming. About [-]% of the spring wheat in Suzhou is produced in this narrow and long plain. .

But now here, this fertile plain is still dead, and the land that has just been cleared shows no signs of cultivation. As soon as Zhang Zhaogang led his army here, he was stunned by the sight of his eyes.

A small village located in the northernmost part of the plain has been completely destroyed, at least seventy or eighty houses were destroyed.

There are countless corpses lying on the road, all of them are farmers in coarse sackcloth.

As for the peasant woman and others, Zhang Zhao only heard Bai Congxin yell, "Beast! ' and rushed out of one of the largest rooms.

"Military envoy, what a tragedy! Those Ganzhou beasts killed all the raped women. There are at least forty corpses in that big house alone!"

"Military envoy, the water in the well is undrinkable, and there are countless corpses of children floating in it." Ma Shacai, who was going to inquire in front, also rode his horse and ran over with a miserable face.

Anger suddenly exploded from Zhang Zhao's heart. It is normal to kill people in war, and even retaliatory massacres are considered normal in this era, but this kind of brutal killing purely for animal lust is absolutely intolerable.

"Ma'am, in the world, you have to do something and not do something. You should remember that our sons who return to the righteous army can be arrogant, domineering, and even cruel, but they can't be turned into beasts!"

Zhang Zhao pointed to the big houses, "Guo Guangcheng, you lead the soldiers of the capital to stay here, dig a big hole, and bury them all!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhao roared, "Xin Chang'er, Cun Hui'er, and Lie Cheng'er, each of you will lead a general's cavalry to pursue and escape a Ganzhou beast. Let me ask you!"

Murong Xinchang responded loudly with eyes full of anger. For the first time, he didn't care about Zhang Zhao calling him Xinchang'er, but Zhang Liecheng's "follow father's military order" beside him made him somewhat embarrassed.

"The whole army led the horses and marched until the beginning of the Shen Dynasty. After eating and drinking enough, we will overthrow those Ganzhou Yijue!"

. . . .

'Ding!Ding!Ding! The ear-piercing sound of gold ringing sounded, and it was three quarters before Shen Shi. It took Ganzhou Uighurs one day to pull down the stone walls and gates built by the Guiyi Army, and another two days to carry out a tentative attack.

It was not until the fourth day that the Uyghurs in Ganzhou began to attack aggressively after they did not find any ambushes or backhands of the Guiyi Army.

Yesterday, the two sides fought from sunrise to sunset, each paying hundreds of lives.

On the more intense day today, the two sides fought six consecutive rounds for most of the day, and they didn't stop until now because the application time had come.

Shen time is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the afternoon. In this era where only two meals are eaten, it is called Fushi, and it is the time to eat the second meal.

Today, the Uighur soldiers from Ganzhou, who have fought six battles in a row wearing dozens of catties of armor, are exhausted.

So Renyu Khan hurriedly called for gold, and prepared the fat stewed mutton and suet pancakes with the highest calories to replenish the strength of these soldiers.

Renyu Khan is very comfortable with playing several rounds in a row in one day.

In the battle between the Ganzhou Uighurs and the Guiyi Army, there was never a time when they could beat each other to the ground in one go, because both sides were poor and tough.

Especially in the Battle of Dunhuang 20 years ago, the two sides fought from the north to the west of Dunhuang, and finally to the east. They fought continuously for five days, with a total of more than [-] rounds.

It wasn't until Zhang Anzuo, the general of the Guiyi Army, led by Zuo Shence, was killed in battle, that the winner was determined.

"Khan, the Shazhou bandits are dead! We are finally going to defeat them!"

Zuo Dayehu stepped forward with a face full of excitement. Although they suffered more casualties in the six formations, they still gained the upper hand by virtue of their numbers.

More importantly, they have Suzhou City here to provide logistics continuously, especially cheese rice, stewed mutton and sheep oil pancakes, all of which are hot, allowing soldiers to recover quickly.

But on the side of the Guiyi Army, due to the 'mistake' beforehand, after the back road was cut off, they were unable to obtain firewood from the Black Mountain in time, so that now there are few cooking smokes.

Zuo Dayehu took the risk to take a closer look just now, and the soldiers of the Guiyi Army were all eating dried meat strips and dried pancakes.

Don't underestimate the difference in food. The consumption of soldiers wearing dozens of catties of heavy armor in battle cannot be replenished by a little dried meat and dry biscuits.

For the first time, Renyu Khan's face showed joy. He and Zuo Dayehu had the same opinion. Now we can't see the difference, but we can see it after playing a few more rounds.

"Let the warriors eat their fill. Let's beat the Shazhou thieves for a while today, and beat them harder tomorrow until they are completely broken. I want none of them to escape."

Renyu Khan roared loudly, Mei's eyebrows flew up.

If he defeats the thieves in Shazhou on the opposite side, he will be able to occupy the two states of Gua and Shazhou. The next step is to send envoys to Datang to marry a princess of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. Change the surname to Li.

At that time, he will be Li Renyu, and in the next ten years, the next goal will be the Gaochang Khanate of the Pugu family.

snort!The Yaogeluo family is the real Uighur royal family, and the Pugu family is just the dogs of the Yaogeluo family, and they dare to be sweaters!
After annexing the Gaochang Uighurs, it was the turn of the descendants of Pang Teqin, who was defeated by his ancestors. I heard that these distant relatives of his established a big khanate in Anxi.

If you can recover them, maybe you can become the real khan of all the Uyghurs when you are 50 years old.

"Khan! What do you think that is? Why did the Shazhou thieves raise so many flags?"

Renyu Khan narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction. He was dreaming well, but he was interrupted directly. It was really unpleasant. He looked in the direction of his nephew Yao Ge Luosiyi's finger.

Um?It's a bit strange, why do these Shazhou thieves raise so many red flags in the formation?Kind of like sending a signal to someone.

Send signal?Renyu Khan, who had always been cautious, was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't heard the sentry sent by his fourth brother Yao Geluotongshun for a long time.

Yao Ge Luo Tongshun's five hundred cavalry is You Yiqi who is on guard outside, he will not dare to go where to have fun at this time, right?
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and the sound became more and more obvious from far to near.

The people around raised their heads and looked around. Renyu Khan's hairs stood on end. He immediately ran to the high platform built by the river to see for himself. At the same time, the warning horns of Suzhou City also sounded hurriedly.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and Renyu Khan finally found the direction of the sound. He looked to the north of Suzhou City, about three or four miles away from them, and the overwhelming cavalry were flying the eye-catching Sanchen flag. The river bend roared.

In the front, Renyu Khan saw his younger brother Yaoge Luo Tongshun, who was running away with dozens of riders in a panic. Behind them, a young general in white robes was chasing after them.

In the dim light of the setting sun, the white robe on the young general's body seemed to be plated with gold. He took advantage of the moment when the horse was bouncing up and down, and quickly shot his bow continuously, constantly shooting the knights around Tongshun to the ground.

Almost at the same time, three drums rang out in the Hewan Guiyi Army, and a brigade of soldiers in black armor came out of the village and began to approach the Uighurs.

Only then did Khan Renyu understand why they had to eat dried meat sticks and dry pancakes just now, and it turned out that it was for the convenience of coming out to fight immediately.

And his soldiers have already taken off their armor and are enjoying the oily mutton soup.

"Quick! Put on armor! Everyone put on armor and retreat to the foot of Suzhou City. The five hundred riders of the Yehe tribe will go to the left to intercept!" Renyu Khan almost fell from the high platform in a panic.

He shouted as he ran, although he didn't know where those cavalrymen came from, but he knew that if they couldn't resist the opponent's thunderous blow, they would be finished.
