Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 646 The Knife Will Not Be Sealed Within Ten Days (One Update)
Chapter 59 Knives will not be sealed within ten days
Pifu was furious, blood spattered five steps.The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.Although Tongyehu Khan is not the emperor, everyone, big and small, is the lord of a country.When Tong Yehu got angry, it was of course a big deal, and countless people would definitely die for it.

Outside the city of Liangzhou, tens of thousands of Western Turkic cavalry began to rush towards Liangzhou city just after dawn.

These Western Turkic cavalry were out of the range of the Tang army's defenders, yelling, running back and forth, with a terrifying momentum.

Standing on the city wall of Liangzhou, Li Daozong looked out of the city, and there were figures of Western Turkic cavalry everywhere. The dust was billowing, and people roared and horses neighed. Standing on the city wall, all the Tang soldiers felt the fear of being surrounded on all sides.And as the Western Turkic cavalry approached again and again, this psychological pressure increased.

The generals of the Tang army shouted loudly to keep the soldiers calm, but it was useless. Those who can keep calm on the battlefield are not recruits. During the siege for nearly two months, the elite veterans under Li Daozong's command also suffered heavy casualties. A large number of recruits, these young and strong men who were ordinary people a few months ago, or dozens of days ago, held weapons, and their bodies shook like chaff.

When a group of Western Turkic light cavalry rushed towards Liangzhou City screaming and getting closer and closer, someone finally couldn't hold on anymore and shot the bow and arrow in their hands. With the first bow and arrow shot, the nerves almost The soldiers of the Tang army, who were about to break, scrambled to shoot arrows as if they had found a vent.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The dense rain of arrows poured down on the cavalry of the Western Turks, but it was of no use.The Western Turkic cavalry was still shooting out of the bow and arrow. Although the shooting was very intensive this time, the distance was too far, and there were not many Western Turkic cavalry who fell to the ground with the arrow.

At this moment, the Western Turkic cavalry rushed over with their horses. The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air sounded like arrows, and the soldiers of the Tang army fell in response.

The screams one after another made the generals of the Tang army even more flustered, and even some soldiers of the Tang army dropped their bows and crossbows in fright, turned around and ran away.Fortunately, Li Daozong still had a reserve team, allowing elite veterans to fill in the gap in time and stabilize the situation.

However, the cavalry of the Western Turks ran around Liangzhou City, rushing into the range from time to time, causing damage to the Tang Army defenders on the city wall. Because the cavalry is running, it is more difficult to shoot a moving target, so both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. Every minute, every second, someone will scream and fall to the ground.

Gradually, Li Daozong felt that something was wrong. The Tang army had a city wall to cover it. Even if it was hit by an arrow, it could be healed immediately. Especially with the implementation of Chen Ying's surgical treatment method, the possibility of recovery of the Tang army's wounded soldiers was as high as [-]%. Unless it hits a vital point, under normal circumstances, an arrow will not be fatal at all.

But the Western Turks were different. Each of them fell off their horses and fell to the ground, and they would immediately be trampled into a pulp by the horseshoes behind them. That meant that as long as one of the Western Turks was shot by an arrow, [-]% of them would die.

In such a battle, the Western Turks would not have any effect except to increase casualties. After all, war horses could not fly over the city walls.

Tong Yehu Khan watched the death of his subordinates indifferently, not because he was cruel, but because these attacking Western Turkic cavalry, in the eyes of Tang people, these were all Western Turkic people, but Tong Yehu knew very well that these were only Western Turkic cavalry The vassal army drawn by the vassal tribe is the cannon fodder army.

Tong Yehu used these servants to consume the arrows and strength of the Tang army. Combat with cold weapons is different from combat with hot weapons. When fighting with cold weapons, a soldier controls a heavy machine gun, and it is no problem to kill hundreds or thousands of people. .But the key is that the era of cold soldiers crying is too laborious.

A qualified archer can shoot at most one pot of arrows in a battle, and then his physical strength will drop rapidly. If he fights with difficulty, the bow and arrow will not be able to stretch into a full moon, and the excessive consumption of physical strength will also hurt the soldiers' bodies.

This siege battle, like a cat playing with a mouse, lasted for almost two hours. When it was almost noon, all Tang soldiers, including Li Daozong, felt that their physical strength could not support them.

The rain of arrows that hit the city was not only sparse, but also weak.

Tong Yehu saw it very clearly, and ordered lightly: "This Khan spent more than 3000 lives just for this one action. If you disappoint Ben Khan again, Ben Khan will be dragged to death with a horse!"

A group of Roman servants hurriedly followed the order and launched an attack.The Byzantines dispatched more than a thousand people to push hundreds of two-wheeled carts. A large wooden barrel was installed on these two-wheeled carts. This wooden barrel was about three feet in diameter and more than six feet high. With a wooden lever as long as three feet.The raised wooden bars seem like the barrels of self-propelled artillery.

This is actually not a self-propelled artillery, but a Greek fire invented by the Greeks.The so-called Greek fire is based on the same principle as the fierce fire oil tank invented in the Song Dynasty. Using a unique formula, put crude oil into a wooden tube wrapped in brass, and use the power of air compression to spray out the fire oil to cause damage to the enemy.

This was originally a weapon for water warfare. Due to the large space on the battleship, it can be made into a larger gas cylinder and a longer range.But this is just the land version of Greek Fire, and its power is not too great.

But in this time and space, it is a weapon that makes people fear.Once the Greek fire starts to be cast, the fire dragon as thick as a bucket will spray more than [-] steps, and within the range of more than [-] steps, a sea of ​​flames will be formed instantly.

Li Daozong was shocked when he saw this scene, he hastily roared: "Archers, beat these Turks back!"

The generals of the Tang army also knew how powerful the Greek fire was, and they also wanted to shoot arrows. The problem is that after two hours of shooting each other, their physical strength has long been exhausted, and there are not many arrows left.

Obviously they had no physical strength, and these Tang army archers couldn't care less. They drew their bows one after another, gritted their teeth and opened their bows and arrows.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Sparse arrows hit the Greek fire, and because the inner tank was made of brass, even though the arrows hit the Greek fire, they jingled and jingled, and it sounded lively, but it was useless.

In desperation, a few archers shot arrows at these Byzantines in grief and anger. This time it finally worked. As the rain of arrows fell, some Byzantines fell to the ground screaming from time to time. However, the archers who could shoot arrows It is really pitifully small, so what use are there hundreds of bows?Not to mention those battle-hardened Western Turks, even the Byzantines themselves didn't take this casualty seriously, and kept pushing the Greek train forward in silence!

Li Daozong watched helplessly as these Byzantines pushed the Greek fire, within [-] steps into Liangzhou City, these Greek fire vehicles were slowly fixed under the operation of the Byzantines, and then adjusted the angle of the kerosene nozzle.

All the soldiers of the Tang Army roared in despair.

Right now, there's nothing they can do.

Li Daozong shouted: "Quickly step back, step back!"

The Byzantines who carried out the twenty steps of Liangzhou City could easily set the entire city wall on fire with Greek fire.At this time, no matter how many people were left on the city wall, it was the same, and they all died in the sea of ​​flames.

Hearing Li Daozong's order, all the soldiers of the Tang army hurriedly ran down the city wall. At this time, no one was a hero, and no one was a hero. At this time, it is meaningless to do so.

Just as Tang Jun ran down the city in a panic.More than a thousand Byzantines screamed, and seven or eight people worked together to pull down the long lever, followed by deafening roars.

Fire dragons as thick as buckets rushed towards Liangzhou City with their teeth and claws open.

Soon the entire city wall of Liangzhou City was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and there were still many soldiers of the Tang army who had no time to retreat in the sea of ​​flames. They screamed pitifully in the sea of ​​flames.

More Greek fires were aimed at the gates of Liangzhou City. Even the gates wrapped in iron sheets would be melted in front of the Greek fires.

Losing the resistance of the Tang army's archers on the city wall, these Turkic cavalry surrounded them again. Tens of thousands of Western Turkic cavalry raised their bows. The screams of the off-strings almost formed a line without any gaps. Tens of thousands of sharp arrows flew across the sky and shot towards Liangzhou City. Before the first arrow landed, the second round of arrow rain was thrown to the ground Mid-air, followed by the third round, the fourth round...

The wind is picking up, it's Metal Storm.

It's raining, it's the rain of death.

The soldiers of the Tang army who had finally retreated from the city wall were immediately devastated again.

The soldiers of the Tang army who had just escaped from the sea of ​​flames had not had time to catch their breath when the Western Turkic feather arrows fell like a torrential rain. Fortunately, amidst the trembling of the bowstrings of the Western Turks, the soldiers of the Tang Army fell down in rows.

Due to the hasty retreat, when many Tang soldiers ran down from the city wall, they had only one weapon, and some even dropped their weapons. The only thing they could do was to look up at the dense flying arrows in the sky. The coming feather arrow was in a daze, and then fell down after being hit by the arrow.

However, the range of bows and arrows is limited. When the generals of the Tang army ran out of the range of the bows and arrows of the Western Turks, they looked back and saw corpses strewn all over the field. Tang Jun, who was lucky enough not to fall down, looked around in horror, and all he saw was success. Piles of corpses and wounded struggling and screaming.

However, their nightmare is not over yet.

There was already a creaking sound from the city gate, which was extremely harsh amidst the crackling fire.

"Not good, city gate!"

"It's the city gate that can't hold on anymore!"

"Quick, keep the city gate!"

All the soldiers were terrified and shouted one after another.

Because everyone knew that once the city gate was breached, Liangzhou would have to be killed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.Given the brutal nature of the Turkic people, I am afraid that the knife will not be sealed within ten days.

However, Li Daozong looked as usual.
