Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 645

Chapter 58 Don't cry if you don't see the coffin ([-]rd watch)
Guo Xiaoke's legs clamped the horse's belly, and he moved his wrists, making final preparations.Ashina Simo looked at Guo Xiaoke provocatively, and said in a slightly weird tone: "Get off your horse and surrender, I will spare your life, even if there are no arrows, it is easy to shoot you. Surrender, your mother!" It's not easy for you to be so big..."

When Guo Xiaoke heard this, he was very angry. The veins on his forehead bulged, and the blood vessels on his neck began to bulge. However, when Guo Xiaoke's face turned from red to black, the blush on his face slowly receded.

Even though he didn't say a word, Chen Ying could see that Guo Xiaoke figured out that Ashina Simo was deliberately stirring him up at the critical moment.

Chen Ying said with a faint smile: "It's interesting!"

"This Guo Xiaoke should make him suffer a little bit, the young man is arrogant, so how can it be done!" The smile on Duan Zhigan's face was quickly fixed on his face.

Guo Xiaoke is also a smart person, he watched the surrounding soldiers from Hebei, Robe Ze, cheering him up, shouting to kill him... The atmosphere in the barracks was warm and high-spirited, and Guo Xiaoke especially liked the feeling of all the attention.

At this moment, Chen Ying waved his hand.

The thick and majestic war drum sounded.

Almost at the same time, Ashina Simo and Guo Xiaoke took off their strong bows, drew their arrows, and nocked them, all in one go.The two rushed straight towards each other.

"Shhhhhh!"

"Shhhhhhh"...

Almost within ten breaths, the sound of the bowstring vibrating sounded.Guo Xiaoke shot nine arrows in an instant, three arrows in a group, and flew towards Ashina Simo in a zigzag shape.

Naturally, Ashina Simo returned the favor, within ten breaths, Ashina Simo also returned nine arrows.

However, Ashina Simo shot at Guo Xiaoke's vitals, while Guo Xiaoke shot at Ashina Simo's horse.

Seeing this scene, Ashina Simo was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart, the war horse was different from a human being, no matter how psychic the war horse was, it was still a beast.It is instinct for animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.Seeing the nine arrows flying towards the chest and eyes of the war horse, the war horse moved and dodged naturally, without any scruples about Ashina Simo, the master.

Therefore, Ashina Simo, who is proficient in riding skills, must not put away his bow and arrow, and hold the horse's neck tightly with both hands, otherwise Ashina Simo will be thrown by the horse.

Without the horse, Ashina Simo lost.

Guo Xiaoke, however, was close to the side of the horse, hiding in an unusually beautiful stirrup, avoiding the continuous shooting of the six arrows in the front, and shooting the three arrows in the back. It is obvious that Ashina Simo had already expected that Guo Xiaoke would take Arrows are hidden in the stirrups, so this kind of lob shot is a parabolic shooting method, shooting from top to bottom.

The bow arm of the iron tire bow flew up in Guo Xiaoke's violent shouting, and slanted on the flying feather arrows. Two arrows fell to the dust, and the third feather arrow, which was a little slower, stabbed heavily in Guo Xiaoke's chest. On the arm shield iron armor, after a crisp sound, fell to the dust...

At the same time, Guo Xiaoke's iron tire bow was in his hand, and he slowly pulled the bowstring, and three feathered arrows rested on the rattling bowstring.

Then three arrows flew towards Ashina Simo who was frantically on horseback.

Ashina Simo had no choice but to imitate Guo Xiaoke, stretched out his arm shield, and knocked two of the arrows into the air. As for the third arrow, he had to use the breastplate on his chest to harden it. Fortunately, there were no arrowheads However, the huge concussion of the arrow made Ashina Simo's chest feel hot, his throat became sweet, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ashina Simo roared like a wounded beast, and raised his bow again, but it was a pity that Guo Xiaoke struck first, and the last three arrows shot in a straight line, directly approaching Ashina Simo's horse's head .

Duan Zhigan was stunned, he really never thought that it would be like this, he knew Ashina Simo's archery skills well, in terms of boxing skills, he was indeed inferior to Luo Shixin, but when shooting arrows with a bow on horseback, even Zhang Shigui Also weaker by three points.

It can be said that Ashina Simo is the No. 1 riding archer under Chen Ying's command. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, Ashina Simo can also be ranked in the top ten. However, Ashina Simo ranked in the top ten is actually So lost.

Ashina Simo fell to the ground dejectedly, and did not get up for a long time.It's not enough to fall and fall, it's just this result that makes Ashina Simo very frustrated.

After a long time, Ashina Simo walked up to Chen Ying, knelt on the ground with a plop, and howled loudly. This [-]-foot-tall man was crying like a child.

Chen Ying patted Ashina Simo on the shoulder and said, "Do you know where you lost?"

Ashina Simo pointed at Guo Xiaoke and shouted: "He is despicable and shameless..."

"Hey..." Chen Ying sighed and said: "The purpose of profit is to listen to it, it is for power, and to assist others. Power is to control power because of profit. Soldiers are deceitful. Therefore, if you can, you can show that you can't. Use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it to be far away, and show it to be far away. Work hard, stay away from them, attack those who are unprepared, and catch them by surprise."

Ashina Simo said in confusion, "My lord, what does this mean?"

Chen Ying pointed at Duan Zhigan and said, "Let General Duan explain it to you!"

Chen Yingrao looked at Guo Xiaoke with great interest and said with a smile: "You are very good. When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. When the two armies fight against the wise, you are brave and resourceful. Very good!"

Guo Xiaoke said a little embarrassedly: "The last general is just a trick!"

"Brute bulls have brute force!" Chen Ying laughed and said, "When a war can be won with resourcefulness, don't use brute force. Work hard and make achievements, just now!"

It's just a blip, of course.Guo Xiaoke, as the first person in the entire army to rely on his personal martial arts, successfully rose from a small soldier to the twelfth level in just one day, which also greatly boosted the morale of the entire army.

It's just that Chen Ying's training method is definitely the worst training method in the world, not one of them.

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, the wake-up call sounded.However, it is the whole team, fully armed and cross-country for twenty miles.

Although the amount of training is large, the soldiers of the Hebei Army also said that their physical fitness is good, and almost all of them have completed the training tasks.But before Guo Xiaoke could sit firmly in the chair of Captain Zhechong, trouble finally came.

"To the left!"

"turn right!"

"turn back!"

"Stand still—go!"

"Remember the key to military posture: keep your belly in, chest out, put your fingers together on the outside of your thighs, keep your eyes straight, don't look like a hunchbacked old woman, show some soldierly energy!"

The three major steps, turning around, squatting down and standing up, this is the beginning of a month of military training for middle school students in later generations. Guo Xiaoke hated this and made him dizzy.

As the captain of Zhechong, Guo Xiaoke had to train with the soldiers of the whole government. He couldn't even tell the left from the right, and he kept making mistakes. The officer was so angry that he stepped on his toe: "Does it hurt? Know it hurts, it hurts." This foot is the right foot, and the one that doesn’t hurt is the left foot, I tell you to turn right to the side that hurts, and turn left to the side that doesn’t hurt!”

He also always makes mistakes when kicking in line. When others use their left foot, they use their right foot. When others use their right foot, they use their left foot. When walking, they either go to the front of the queue or go to the back, making a fool of themselves;

As for the military posture... his scalp was numb when he thought of it, and his whole body was nailed there like a javelin. He stood there for four quarters or even half an hour. Without orders, he couldn't move a little finger, and the evil instructor specially brought them Standing in a military posture on the grass, mosquitoes and gadflies landed on their faces and necks, greedily sucking their blood, itching so badly that they couldn’t even move, it felt better than torture, and the instructor looked at his bitter face , a triumphant plot succeeded.

Not only Guo Xiaoke, but even the entire army complained and complained.But there is no way, Duan Zhigan's time is limited, he has to train the whole army to a decent level within ten days, otherwise he will be overwhelmed.

"Woooo..."

At dawn, the get-up call, which the entire army hated, sounded.

These soldiers of the new army yelled and cursed, and got up one after another. They were about to start crazy training for six hours a day. Don't look at the simple three-step method of turning around and squatting to stand up. This simple military action made these soldiers of the new army Even have the heart to die.

……

The Liangzhou City, which could not be attacked for a long time, made Tong Yehu Khan very anxious. As long as the tens of thousands of troops stayed here for one more day, the food, fodder and money consumed would be a huge number.

Just last night, he saw ice slag appearing on the stables outside the tent. Although there were no thermometers in this era, Tong Yehu also knew that heavy snow was coming soon by virtue of his habitual experience.

If Liangzhou City is not taken, and Liangzhou City is not captured, the battle will be lost.

Tulifa (Turkic, roughly equivalent to the governor) Batur sighed and said, "I'm not reconciled, if I just return to Yiwu (now Hami), I will only make Ashina laugh at me."

Tong Yehu Khan slammed his fist on the table and said, "Damn Tang people, why don't you come to negotiate a peace?"

Tong Yehu originally advocated attacking the Khorasan region of the Sasanian Dynasty in the west. Since the main energy of the Sasanian Dynasty was to deal with the Byzantine Empire, Tong Yehu took advantage of a lot.However, this situation changed fundamentally last year (the second year of Wude). Under the leadership of Shahrbaraz, the Sasanian Empire army was invincible, Jerusalem and Alexandria Hong Kong fell successively, and the whole of Egypt also fell into the hands of the Sasanian Dynasty.At this time, the population and territory of the Sasanian Dynasty reached their peak. As Shahr Balazs led the 20 cavalry troops of the Sasanian Empire to the east, they fought with the Western Turks in Khorasan.

Yehu, the leader of the Western Turks, suffered a very big defeat, losing a large number of troops and territory, and millions of vassal troops defected. It can be said that this battle laid the root of the disaster for the defeat of the Western Turks.

The defeat in the battle on the western front put Tong Yehu into an embarrassing situation. In this situation, Jieli Khan joined him and prepared to attack Datang.

After preliminary investigation, Tong Yehu knew part of Datang's information. Datang is now competing with Wang Shichong for the Central Plains, and he has no time to care about him. To extort money and food to make up for his losses on the Western Front.

However, what Tong Yehu Khan didn't expect was that Li Tang's court was more tenacious than he imagined. Liangzhou City was besieged for nearly two months, even if the messenger climbed, he should have climbed to Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Tong Yehu Khan said angrily: "The Tang people will not cry when they see the coffin, our offensive must be strengthened!"

Batur pointed to the roads of Liangzhou city: "Liangzhou city is high and deep, and people's homes are condescending, and Tang people are good at shooting and defending. It is very difficult to break through here."

Tong Yehu smiled and said: "There is always a way, use Greek fire."

Batur frowned and said, "Greek fire? We have already tried it. Now the whirlwind is too strong, and the thick smoke will only float over the city wall. We have burned it for three days, but the effect is not good. Not many enemies were burned to death. Instead, we injured many soldiers."

Tong Yehu said: "Give those Byzantines a death order. If I am not afraid that Liangzhou City will be shot down by Ben Khan, I will treat them as stone bullets and smash them into Liangzhou City!"
