Dajin royal family

Chapter 146
After the Jin army saw through the sneak attack, the Turkic torches lit up one after another, and under the orange-red light were the faces of extremely hideous Turkic soldiers. Their faces were full of madness. After ordering the siege, every Turkic soldier put his own life and death aside. At this moment, they only have the city gate in their eyes, and only two words "break the city" in their minds

The sound of the vibration was not only reflected in the state of the dead object at the city gate, but also hit the hearts of the soldiers of the Jin army defending Loufan Pass.Although they knew that there were reinforcements from the imperial court behind them, the Turkic people charged again and again without fear of death, which really exhausted the physical strength of each Jin army.

"Throw all the ointment down, and turn the gate of the city into a sea of ​​flames." Jiang Chengxiao ordered.The soldiers on the tower immediately threw jars of ointment down from the tower, followed by the sound of the jars smashing, followed by rockets shooting towards the city gate. .

After a while, the fire ignited again, and the Turkic soldiers wailed in pain in the flames. The siege log was stained with ointment and burned, and the huge fire immediately illuminated the dark mountain road.

"Attack!" Zhi Siguli roared while standing in the rear with red eyes.Even though the fire ahead is raging, he still wants to win Loufan Pass.

Seeing these Turkic people braving the fire and hitting the city gate, Jiang Chengxiao secretly cursed at the madman, and then shouted: "Throw everything that can be burned into the fire, and burn these Turkic dogs to death!"

The anointing oil has been completely consumed, and now only haystacks, dry firewood, and even the clothes of the soldiers have been thrown out from the tower.The Jin army was like a fireman, constantly adding fuel to the tower.The Turks were like firefighters. When the Jin army burned the fire, they tried their best to put out the fire. Most of the Turks were burned to death when they put out the fire, and a small number of Turks continued to hold the siege logs and smashed into the city gate. The two sides were in a stalemate.

The fundamental reason why the Turkic people can continue such a stalemate is that they have a large number of people, and they use their lives to put out the fire and attack the city.

However, many people cherish their lives.The battle lasted until the middle of the night, and the Turkic soldiers finally despaired. They didn't know how many people died in Lou Fan's gate, but the city gate has not been loosened until now, and they don't even know when it started, the surrounding air There was the smell of burnt corpses.Burnt black corpses could be seen everywhere, the screams never stopped, their charge never stopped, not even the fire in front of Loufan Pass.

In such a situation where no hope of victory could be seen, the remaining Turkic soldiers finally became frightened. The fire blocking Loufan Pass seemed to be the gate of hell.

When the first Turkic soldier stopped, the mentality of retreating quickly spread to all the remaining Turkic soldiers like a plague. They all hesitated and fell into a dilemma on the spot.To advance is to die, to retreat is to die.The fire light illuminated the dark faces of these soldiers, as if it also illuminated their state of mind at the moment.

"What are you doing! Siege the city for me, whoever can enter first will reward two tribes and promote him to be a commander!" Zhi Siguli galloped his horse to the middle of a group of Turkic soldiers who had stopped, holding a whip in his hand. "Crackling" whipped left and right, angrily whipping these Turkic soldiers who were afraid of war.

Every Turkic soldier was very excited when faced with such a huge reward, but when they looked up and saw the raging fire in front of Loufan Pass, they immediately flinched, no matter how good the reward was, they had to die to get it.

"Anyone who dares to run away will be beheaded immediately!" Zhi Siguli angrily drew out the scimitar from his waist, rode his horse to catch up with a retreating Turkic soldier, and chopped off his head.

His face looked murderous under the dim light of the fire, and his gaze was fixed on every soldier like a poisonous snake, forcing these Turkic soldiers who were afraid of war to rush forward.

However, at this moment, when no one was paying attention, a flying arrow pierced the night sky in the dark, and it pierced into Zhi Siguli's left eye with a "puchi", and then he screamed pitifully, followed by Zhi Siguli fell off his horse and rolled over on the ground clutching the arrow that shot into his eye, the excruciating pain almost made him pass out.

"Captain!"

The sudden change shocked all the Turkic soldiers, and the first thought in their hearts was that the captain was shot by the arrow!
The Turkic soldiers who had to attack under the pressure of Zhisiguli took this opportunity to rush to Zhisiguli's side, only to see that Zhisiguli had passed out from the pain, and the arrow was still stuck in his eyeball In the process, bright red blood flowed out from his eye sockets, all over Zhi Si Gu Li's entire face.

A Turkic soldier tested the captain's breathing and said, "There is still breath, the captain is not dead."

"What should we do now, shall we continue to attack the city?" A Turkic soldier asked.

Another said: "But we can't get in. Now the captain is seriously injured, we should save the captain first."

At this time, a commander stood up and said, "Retreat, the captain's life is important."

This proposal was quickly approved by all the Turkic soldiers, and they have not been able to enter until now, and there have been countless casualties. Now that the captain is shot, they obviously cannot continue to fight like this, otherwise the entire army will be wiped out.

"woooooo"

With the sound of the retreat horn, the remaining Turkic soldiers finally retreated from Loufan Pass, leaving only the burning corpses telling the story of the tragic war that just happened.The fire in front of Loufan Pass was still burning, like a wall of fire blocking all Turks who tried to enter Loufan Pass.

In a dark place a hundred steps away, eighteen figures were riding on horses. They were all dressed in impenetrable black armor, and their faces were covered with masks, revealing pairs of cold and cruel eyes.In the middle, a knight slowly retracted his longbow, and said without a trace of emotion: "I missed, I didn't shoot that Turkic general."

The atmosphere was eerily quiet, and the horse shook his head.With a hoarse voice, Hei Yi said, "After we go back, the master will make the decision. Our mission here is to protect the little master."

"Yang Taisu's army will arrive at Loufan Pass at dawn, and the young master should be out of danger." Another knight said.

"The Turkic army has not retreated, so the young master will not leave. He will definitely follow Yang Taisu's army to attack the Turkic people." Hei Yi said: "That's it for now, we just follow the young master secretly, and pay attention to deal with the Turkic sentry and Yang Taisu on the way." scout."

"Yes!"

Eighteen riders retreated slowly, gradually hiding in the darkness.

Lou Fan was closed, and the pungent smell filled every soldier's mouth and nose. It was the smell of burnt corpses.Compared with the first time when the Turkic people were stupid and directly charged with cavalry, this time the Turkic people have obviously learned to be smart. The price for the Turkic people to become smarter is that the Jin army suffered heavy casualties.

Of the [-] Jin troops, there are now only a few hundred left.Even though the Jin army defended against the dangerous pass, the sharp arrows and successive onslaughts of the Turkic people still caused heavy losses to the Jin army.

"General, why don't these Turkic dogs use battering rams or ladders to attack the city with cavalry, aren't they looking for death?" Zhao Jiao panted heavily, leaning against the wall, and asked Jiang Chengxiao with a smile.

Jiang Chengxiao was sitting on the ground at the moment, his helmet was taken off by him, and his hair was scattered on his body. After listening to Zhao Jiao's words, he smiled and said: "If it was the East Turks who attacked the city today, the battering ram and the ladder would have already It has been used. But the Western Turks, hehe, they have stayed in the Western Regions for too long, and they regard our strong city here as the ruined city of a small country in the Western Regions."

But then again, the strength of the East Turks once broke Loufanguan. If the East and West Turks really joined forces, how could the East Turks not tell the West Turks about Loufanguan.Could it be that the East Turks secretly plotted against the West Turks and didn't tell them how difficult Lou Fanguan is?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxiao felt that he was a little whimsical, how could this be possible, if this was the case, wouldn't it be a joke that the Eastern and Western Turks teamed up.

At this time, the messenger soldier suddenly came to the two of them, bowed and said: "The vanguard general Yang Gan has arrived at the city."
