Dajin royal family

Chapter 147 The Horn of the Counterattack

The sky turned fish-white, and Sha Bodu was riding on a horse, looking at Lou Fanguan from a distance.The incident of being hit by an arrow last night lingered in his mind for a long time. Can he survive if his eyeball is shot by an arrow?

Sha Bodu felt that he would definitely die if he insisted on thinking and bones, but it was considered an advantage for the boy, otherwise he would conquer Loufanguan and be named the number one warrior by the Khan, the boy would definitely be more painful than death.

"Captain, how should we attack the city this time?" The guards looked at the tall city wall in the distance fearfully. They had never encountered such a strong city wall when they were in the Western Regions.

How to siege the city? Sha Bodu already had a plan in his mind. In fact, he almost succeeded in attacking the city yesterday. If the Jin army hadn't used kerosene, he would have taken down Lou Fanguan a long time ago.But it doesn't matter, according to King Zuo Shan, the Jin army should not have much fire oil in their hands, and he will succeed this time.

Sha Bo Duo ordered: "Still according to yesterday's plan, everyone dismounts, a team of 50 people, with full armor and shields, the formation is scattered, and don't give the opponent a chance to trebuchet."

He didn't have a ladder in his hand, and he didn't have a powerful trebuchet like the Jin army. He could only use one method, which was to hit the city gate with crude siege wood.The shield can resist the opponent's arrows to the greatest extent, and the dispersion of the formation is to avoid the power of the trebuchet.

Like that idiot Zhi Siguli, he would never use the method of cavalry charging at the beginning. This Loufan Pass is not the vulnerable city gate of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

The guards nodded. This method is much safer than Captain Zhisiguli's forced charge. At least they can have shields in their hands to defend, so they don't have to risk arrows to attack.

After Shabotu's order was issued, the Turkic soldiers held their shields and formed a circle, guarding the Turkic soldiers carrying the siege logs in the middle, and moved towards Loufan Pass.

They were still greeted by rain of arrows, but because they had shields to resist, the Turkic people did not lose much. When they approached the city gate, all the Turkic soldiers took black cloth to protect their mouths and noses, because they knew that the Jin army was about to Will set fire.

But what surprised them was that the Jin army did not set fire this time. When they were twenty steps closer to the city gate, the Jin army still attacked them with arrows, and even the trebuchets did not continue to throw stones.

Seeing this scene, Sha Bo Duo was overjoyed immediately. These Jin troops had no fuel oil in their hands. He immediately ordered: "Everyone immediately follow up and attack the city with all your strength!"

As long as the Jin army has no fire oil in their hands, they will absolutely not be able to resist their own attack.It seems that the battle last night should have exhausted the fuel for the Jin army.

However, at this moment, the city gate that 20 Turkic people dreamed of breaking open suddenly opened wide.All the Turkic people were startled, not only the Turkic people who were at the front line holding the siege log were stunned, but Sha Bodu at the back also widened their eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief.

The next moment, the ground suddenly vibrated, followed by the sound of screaming and killing erupting from the Loufan Pass, as if a loud noise was uttered from this pass.A banner of the Jin army burst out from the pass, fluttering in the sun, and then a continuous stream of cavalry rushed out from the pass, killing the Turkic soldiers.Seeing this scene, Sha Bodu's black face suddenly turned pale.How could there be cavalry in Loufanguan, there are still so many.

In order to be able to effectively attack the city, Sha Bodu asked the soldiers to give up their horses, but at this moment these Turkic infantry were like fish on a chopping board when facing the charging Jin cavalry.

The vanguard general of the Jin army, Yang Gan, rushed into the Turkic crowd first, and the horse spear in his hand shot out, piercing through a Turkic man. The impact of the horse and his own force forcefully lifted the Turkic man's body into the air. how high.

These Turkic soldiers who had lost their horses were completely massacred when facing the Jin army cavalry who had been prepared for a long time. The Jin army cavalry pierced into the Turkic formation like a sharp thorn, and brutally tore them all apart. .

"This General Yang is really brave."

On the head of Lou Fanguan, Zhao Jiao kept his eyes on Yang Gan's position, but because Yang Gan's running distance was getting farther and farther, he couldn't see which was which.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded in agreement. He was not familiar with General Yang, and the only contact he had was with the two of them when they went to Jiyin County to reward the army.He originally thought that General Yang would be as strategic as his father Yang Taisu, but now it seems that his style of painting is not quite right.

"However, starting today, the two of us can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Zhao Jiao said with a smile.The hopeless defense of the city these days has really exhausted him physically and mentally. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, they can rest assured.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "It still doesn't work. According to General Yang, only 12 cavalry came this time, and there were [-] infantry behind. Now we don't know what the strength of the Turkic troops is, and we can't take it lightly."

"Well said!" An angry voice came from behind the two of them.

The two hurriedly turned around and saw a general in armor walking over surrounded by the crowd. Jiang Chengxiao and Zhao Jiao hurriedly saluted, "Join the general."

Going back to a few hours ago, the atmosphere in the Turkic camp in Shanyang County was a bit depressed.Last night, Zhisiguli led 1 people to storm Loufan Pass and was severely injured. The main general was shot in the left eye by Liu Ya, and now he is lying in the camp and has not crossed the line of life and death.

"This time, I was reckless. I shouldn't have regarded Loufanguan as a city of a small country in the Western Regions, and my subordinates are guilty." King Zuoshan stood up and said with a sigh.

Yi Shaxie waved his hand and said, "No, your guess is not wrong. The soldiers who came back told me that the Jin army finally threw a lot of haystacks and dry firewood at the gate of the city, which shows that they have indeed run out of kerosene. After all, we have not attacked the city of the Jin Dynasty for a long time, and we are too careless. If Jiaoli told us that Lou Fanguan is so difficult to attack, we should bring the craftsmen from the tribe together, otherwise we don’t have to force the city now .”

It is useless to regret these things now. What he is after this time going south is speed, and advance the front line to the hinterland of Bingzhou in a short time.But he stayed in the Western Regions for more than ten years, and he hadn't attacked the strong cities of the Jin Dynasty for too long. In addition, Jiao Li didn't tell him the situation of Loufanguan, so he is now in trouble.

King Zuo Shan said: "Since this is the case, Sha Bo Duo must be able to break through today."

Yi Shaxie sighed. He thought that maybe he shouldn't go south from Bingzhou. The mountains here are not conducive to the performance of his cavalry. If he marched from Lingwu County, the situation might be different.Now there is no other way but to attack by force.

Until the evening, Yi Shaxie did not wait for the news that Shabotu had broken the city.

When Sha Bo Duo appeared in the lobby covered in blood, everyone thought that Lou Fanguan should have been taken down, but Sha Bo Duo revealed a piece of news that stunned them.

". Tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the Jin army rushed out from Loufan Pass. Our army was wiped out. They have already attacked the camp!" Sha Bodu wiped the blood from his face, and he had an arrow stuck in his other arm. arrow.

"Nonsense!" Yi Shaxie walked up to Sha Bodu in a rage, kicked him to the ground, and cursed, "How could the Jin army know in advance that we would go south from Bingzhou? You must be unable to take down Lou!" The lies fabricated by Fan Guan have disturbed our soldiers' morale!"

He couldn't help being furious. With Chu Luo making the first move, it was impossible for the Jin Dynasty to notice their actions. Even if the Jin army knew the news and fed it back to the Jin Dynasty, it would take at least six or seven days for their reinforcements to arrive. It's only a few days?

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly entered the hall, knelt down on one knee and said, "Khan, there is a group of Jin troops twenty miles outside Shanyang County. They are gathering, and their number has exceeded [-]."

As soon as the voice fell, a needle drop could be heard in the hall, and everyone stared at the soldier, wishing to tear him to pieces.

After a long time, King Zuo Shan murmured: "How is this possible? How could the speed of the Jin army be so fast? Even if their cavalry delivered the news starry night, it would take six or seven days for the Jin Dynasty to send a large army to come to support them. So fast."

"There is only one possibility." A cold light flashed in Yishaxie's eyes.
