Chapter 490

The camp of the Tang army in Changyuan had been violently bombarded by the Sui army's catapults for more than an hour. The two breakthroughs in the north and south chosen by the Sui army collapsed with a gap of hundreds of steps each, facing the overwhelming force of the Sui army. The stones, whether Hou Junji, who was in charge of the defense of the southern camp, or Liu Hongji, who was in the north, felt powerless. It wasn't that the soldiers didn't try their best. In fact, everyone was working hard to repair the gap, but the catapults of the Sui army shot out. The stones are like a rainstorm, continuous!Asking the soldiers to repair the camp wall was simply to make them make unnecessary sacrifices. They simply took a laissez-faire attitude towards the camp wall, letting the Sui army smash it at will, and let the soldiers sit on the ground outside the range of the fire!

All the generals of the Tang army held a deep breath, planning to fight a heroic hand-to-hand battle with the Sui army. As long as the two armies got entangled, the catapults would naturally be unable to show their power.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Just as the second general was feeling ruthless, there was another loud drumbeat from the Sui army.As enemies for many years, Hou Junji and Liu Hongji heard that it was the Sui army who ordered the catapult to attack!
Sure enough, hundreds of catapults slowly stopped attacking, and the battlefield became quiet. Hou Junji knew that the Sui army would formally attack the camp in the next moment. He drew out his saber and ordered Li Gaoqian, the lieutenant general: " General Li, the Sui army is about to attack the camp, and you command the soldiers to resist the first round of the Sui army's attack, and you must let them go without returning."

"General, don't worry!"

Li Gaoqian responded to his orders. The two armies of the Sui and Tang dynasties faced each other here for nearly a month. Although there was no war, it does not mean that everyone will coexist peacefully. The Sui army, which is in an active position, has been mobilizing their cavalry forces these days, fighting against each other day and night. The Tang army harassed and harassed. Facing this kind of rogue tactics, both Li Shimin and the generals under his tent were very annoyed. Just ignore him, and you are afraid that they are playing the real game. If you set up defenses, he will not come at all.They used to send out cavalry to lure these Sui soldiers into the shortlist, but the Sui army was quite familiar with this method, and if there were fewer people sent, let him be wiped out. If there were too many, he would not appear at all, and he was even lured back to hunt.Faced with the heinous and shameless conspiracy of the Sui army, the Tang army needed to work hard and go to war to deploy defenses. As for the shameless Sui army, it only needed to send dozens or hundreds of cavalry to beat gongs and drums. Good deal.This also made the harassed generals of the Tang Army want to fight quickly, and tonight is an opportunity for revenge, even the mature and steady Li Gaoqian is no exception. After he received the order, he issued the battle plan Order.

The 500 Tang troops quickly lined up, [-] of them in a row, a total of ten rows, with a distance of five feet between the front and back, with a murderous aura, like a copper wall and an iron wall, waiting for the Sui army to come to die.

"when!"

A distant and crisp bell sounded from the Sui army on the opposite side at the right time. Hearing this, Tang Jun's heart trembled, and he subconsciously tightened the war blade in his hand.However, the Sui army they were expecting did not attack, but heard the "buzzing" explosion.

The space between heaven and earth was filled with a huge buzz at this moment, and nearly a thousand cross-headed giant arrows almost passed through a distance of [-] steps in between breaths, and hit the Tang army wall fiercely.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

"Ugh~"

In the sound of a series of sharp weapons tearing the body, the entire defense line seemed to be plowed by plowed fields. Countless soldiers of the Tang army did not even have a chance to react, and their bodies were torn apart by the fierce cross arrows. Complete, but more people's bodies were directly cut into two pieces by the huge force. What's more tragic is that some people were strung together by huge arrow shafts, and they were not dead together, making scalp-exploding screams.

Standing on the command tower, Hou Junji and Li Gaoqian felt their feet shake violently a few times. When they looked down, they gasped in unison. A large area of ​​the camp had been covered in blood mist.

In the bloody mist, there were screams one after another. In just this round, at least two thousand soldiers' lives were swallowed by the terrifying giant arrow.

More than 2000 soldiers are naturally not many for the Tang army with 12 soldiers, but the shock brought about by this tragic scene is fatal, and it directly destroys the morale and morale of the Tang army that has been accumulated with great difficulty. After being beaten to pieces, countless soldiers of the Tang Army looked at the catapults, cart crossbows, and bed crossbows outside, and felt an unspeakable fear in their hearts. They never imagined that there are such terrifying weapons in the world. How can this battle continue?More than 2000 people died in one fell swoop, wouldn't the entire army have to be wiped out after a few more attacks?How could it be possible to win the final victory?

The Sui army played this hand very beautifully, and it is more deterrent than the vigorous catapult, because the catapult has been on the battlefield for too long, and its power is great, but it is a known thing, and people understand it. Fear of him The sense of consciousness has been greatly reduced, and this giant arrow is undoubtedly a new unknown thing. People will instinctively fear this thing, not to mention, this thing is not a decoration, and it caused death and injury like hell when it appeared. Who can not be afraid?An unspeakable depressive emotion enveloped everyone's hearts, and some people subconsciously evaded.

"The power of this strange crossbow is frightening, and it must be difficult to load..." Hou Junji moved his lips, and was about to order the troops out of the city to destroy them before the opponent showed his might again.

"Don't mess around!"

Seeing Hou Junji's resolute expression, Li Gaoqian quickly stopped and said in a deep voice: "These strange crossbows are only fired once, and no one knows whether the reloading time will be long or short. If the Sui Dynasty craftsmen solved the large bed crossbow It is not easy to fill in the problem, we send troops at this time, I am afraid that Yang Shanhui will fall into his arms. Also, look at the opponent's cavalry!"

Hou Junji hurriedly looked to the two sides, but saw the Sui Army cavalry loitering on the side, eyeing the direction of the camp. If the troops left the camp at this time, the cavalry on both sides would probably rush out immediately.His complexion gradually turned cold, and he said: "It's just that the morale of our army has been destroyed by that strange crossbow. It's not a way to go on like this."

"Now we have no other choice," Li Gaoqian shook his head and said, the strange crossbow was too far away from their camp, neither the army's catapult nor the bed crossbow could reach it, and now they could only defend passively.

Hou Junji thought for a while, and then said: "It is true that the power of the strange crossbow is great; but the damage range of the crossbow is actually not wide. The reason why it is so tragic is that we mistakenly thought that the Sui army would attack immediately, so we put up defenses." The formation, the crowd is too dense, caught off guard, that caused such tragic consequences! Order our soldiers to retreat a little bit, and at the same time spread out the formation."

"The general is right!"

Seeing the trembling of the soldiers below, Li Gaoqian frowned, and solemnly suggested: "The fighting spirit of these soldiers has completely collapsed, and they are no longer reliable. If the Sui army attacks, I am afraid they will disperse. We should immediately Change a group of soldiers, and at the same time, suggest that King Jin place these people separately, lest they bring panic to the entire army."

"Just do it like this." Hou Junji agreed very much.

The two people's method is good, but Yang Shanhui will obviously not give them time to calmly rotate the soldiers. After the giant crossbow was fired, the slave soldiers serving as death squads had already consciously killed the Tang army's camp, because the sound of the bell was not only the launch of the giant crossbow. The order was also an order for the slave soldiers on horseback to attack the camp.

A conventional attacking battle is to use heavy equipment such as catapults to destroy the barracks and steal people's minds, and then the siege soldiers will press down under the cover of archers, and the defensive side will send troops to block the gap. Everyone knows this process, Hou Junji, It was Li Gaoqian who fell into the established routine, which made Yang Shanhui sly once.

The status of the giant crossbow in Yang Shanhui's mind is not how much it can hurt the enemy, but that it can take away the fighting spirit of the Tang army, making them unable to resist. When the army attacks, the resistance they encounter is greatly reduced, and it can even be destroyed. In one go, he took down the Tang army camp.

At this time, the soldiers of the Tang army who had witnessed the might of the crossbow were terrified to death. When Hou Junji and Li Gaoqian issued the order to change troops, they were released for a while, like wild wolves, and ran back desperately. , there are many people and the passage is narrow, and the 'broken soldiers' push each other, causing a great chaos.

Hou Junji is also an experienced veteran, knowing that he was restless just now and lost his mind, but Li Gaoqian's suggestion made him feel like a drowning man grasping at straws, and subconsciously obeyed the arrangement, which led to the crime. He made a big mistake, and regretted it in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't even have time to swear, and his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Pikeman on top!"

Thousands of pikemen lined up and completely sealed off the fleeing space of the 'broken soldiers'. The scene suddenly became more chaotic, and many people were terrified and shouted for help.But Hou Junji turned a deaf ear to it. He knew that the best way to deal with the first wave of cavalry attack was to make the cavalry lose their astonishing impact, and these rout soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit were the best human shields.

At this time, the slave soldiers serving in the Sui army had also arrived, and the distance of hundreds of steps was not much different from a short distance to the slave soldiers who were good at riding.

These alien slave soldiers from the north and northwest are brave in nature, and fighting is a natural instinct that penetrates deep into their souls. At this time, they want to use their military exploits to eliminate their slave status, and for the Sui Dynasty that can allow themselves and their descendants to live a normal life. Nationality', a ferocious pride burned in his heart, brandishing the war blade in his hand, he rushed towards Tang Ying with a fearless momentum.

The war horses roared and were full of evil spirits. Not to mention the routs, even the unsuspecting spearmen were frightened by the fierce and indomitable momentum of the cavalry, but the soldiers in the front row were blocked by the routs and could not move forward. Pushing them forward, he had to instinctively raise his spear, close his eyes and let out a roar.

"boom!"

The slave soldiers rushed into the enemy group with destructive force, the rout soldiers were smashed to pieces, countless corpses were knocked out, and countless people were trampled by war horses. Many helmets and broken spears flew into the sky, and many people were knocked into the air, waving their limbs and wailing helplessly in mid-air.

The slave soldiers continued to attack, causing groups of people to be cut down like rice grains, their corpses were bloody and bloody.

At this time, the two armies are intertwined!

The Tang army had no retreat, and neither did the slave soldiers. The slave soldiers who grew up on horseback knew that if they retreated or stopped advancing, they would inevitably become mud.The only way to survive is to charge forward in a fierce way. Only by passing through all obstacles in front of you can you avoid the fierce collision of the comrades who are following you.It is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way to mutilate the horse and let its speed and impact potential be fully utilized.

The slave soldiers all have this heart, which also makes the war blades in their hands a sharp weapon to hurt the horses. As for the Tang army, they are not the first choice for their war blades.Because of this, the powerful impact and amazing power of the cavalry are multiplied.

Once a person loses his life, the effect is naturally extremely astonishing. Together, they are like a big ship riding the wind and waves, with invincible momentum, they will kill and fight a bloody way among the crowded Tang army!
The scene was extremely tragic, with heavy casualties on both sides.

Human life, at this moment, becomes the least valuable thing.
