Chapter 649 I Want the Western Regions to Tremble and Obey (Part [-])
Chapter 62 I Want the Western Regions to Tremble and Obey (Second Update)

Soldiers of the Tang army plucked up their courage and rushed forward, resisting tenaciously. However, their equipment and training were far behind those of the resting soldiers.

The armor of the dead soldiers in Anxi weighed more than fifty catties. Even the Modao Army under Chen Ying's command would be inferior to it. The equipment of ordinary Tang Army soldiers can only be sent to death.For an army like the rest of the dead soldiers, the only way is to use blunt weapons such as thick maces or giant axes, hammers, etc. However, Li Daozong did not have such equipment.

In order to guard the city gate, the Liangzhou defenders had no choice but to resist with flesh and blood.

The rest of the dead soldiers kept advancing, and Tang Jun was stabbed down by them one by one. If it weren't for the saber cart, more rest of the dead soldiers would have already swarmed in along the gap.

However, these resting soldiers, because they were not afraid of the blades on the saber carts, swung their short spears and stabbed the saber carts like a sieve.

The situation in Liangzhou City is very dangerous, it can be said to be very bad.However, all Tang soldiers did not despair.Fortunately, apart from Liangzhou West Gate, the defense systems of the East Gate, South Gate, North Gate and other city gates are still intact. As long as they keep calm, it will be difficult for the Western Turks to gnaw at these lines of defense in a short time.

The key lies in the west gate. Since the west gate is open, Western Turkic soldiers are rushing in. If the west gate cannot be recaptured, the Tang army will undoubtedly be defeated.

Li Daozong knew this very well, and Tong Yehu knew this very well, but Tong Yehu's rest soldiers were a group of war slaves. They were all captives of the Sasanian Dynasty, and they must die.After becoming a captive of the Western Turks, he became a war slave. As long as he survives a battle, he can regain his freedom.

Therefore, these resting dead soldiers were extremely fierce, and the soldiers of the Tang army couldn't stand it at all, and they were killed and retreated steadily.

Four saber carts were destroyed one after another by Anxi soldiers. Just after the last saber cart in the city gate was destroyed by Anxi soldiers, the soldiers of the Tang army who lost the defense of the saber carts were killed and retreated in embarrassment.

Seeing the opening of the city gate, a general who died in peace laughed loudly: "The Tang people are still so vulnerable..."

"call out……"

At this critical moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded, causing severe eardrum pain, and a thick crossbow arrow pierced through the air at an extremely fast speed.The maniacal laughter of this dying soldier stopped abruptly, the thick crossbow arrow hit his chest without any mistakes, directly penetrated the hard armor, and opened a triangular wound the size of a bull's eye in his chest. The huge wound spurted out a large stream of blood.

Ordinarily, armor weighing more than [-] catties like the rest of the dead soldiers can completely ignore the shooting of bows and crossbows. Even if you use a three-stone strong bow to shoot armor-piercing cones, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries to this kind of heavy armor.

But there is one weapon that is an exception, and that is the bed crossbow.The bed crossbow was inconvenient to move, but it was very powerful.The tamped city wall can be inserted for more than a foot, let alone armor?Even the shield chariot used for siege can be shot apart as long as it is hit by the bed crossbow, let alone this kind of single-person armor?

At this moment, this scream sounded from time to time, and thirty steps away, there were more than a dozen bed crossbows, a dozen bed crossbows, three six-foot-long giant crossbows in a group, Shooting towards the city gate from time to time.

The crossbow arrows of these bed crossbows hit the dead soldiers in the city gate one by one. One dead soldier was hit by the giant crossbow, and flew backwards for more than two steps, and hit the other two dead soldiers before they were exhausted. kinetic energy.

Li Daozong moved out 36 bed crossbows from Liangzhou City at a critical moment, and using more than a dozen bed crossbows, he finally stalled the offensive of the Anxi dead soldiers.

In fact, Li Daozong originally had as many as 54 bed crossbows, but before he could use them, eighteen of them were destroyed by Greek fire, and Li Daozong was so distressed that he trembled in his heart.He was too frightened to put this precious weapon on the city wall, and it was used to attack the heavy-armed death soldiers at critical moments, and the effect was not bad.

However, although this attack was repelled by the bed crossbow, Tong Yehu Khan saw the dawn of victory after all. He took advantage of the number of people and launched an attack on the four gates of Liangzhou City at the same time. The Greek fire burned the city gate covered with iron sheets, and then dug soil into the city gate hole, directly digging out the soil that Li Daozhen blocked in the city gate hole.

Li Daozong was also helpless at this time.

As long as he sent troops to the city wall to block the approach of the Western Turkic army on the city wall, the soldiers under his command would shoot at Liangzhou City with bows and arrows. Once the Byzantine labor slaves under Tong Yehu Khan approached They used Greek fire to turn Liangzhou's city walls into a sea of ​​flames.

Fortunately, the space in the city gate is limited, and both sides can only invest dozens or hundreds of people at a time. Li Daozong still has the strength to persevere. However, the four gates of Liangzhou City are like four huge wounds. Blood, sooner or later there will be a day when it will be drained dry.

Chen Ying fell silent after reading the secret letter Li Daozong wrote to him.He thought that the Western Turks would put great pressure on Liangzhou City, but he didn't expect that Li Daozong would be completely useless if Ye Hu Khan was to be unified. You know, it is actually very simple to break the crisis in Liangzhou City and delay the time for the Western Turks to break through the city.

Because the Western Turks only attack the city gate, there is no need to fight with the Western Turks in the city gate. You only need to put a fire in the city gate, and ensure that no Turkic can rush into Liangzhou City before the fire is extinguished. .

However, it is too late now.First of all, it is about [-] miles from Mingsha County to Liangzhou. If the messenger is allowed to go to Liangzhou alone, it will be about the same time as Chen Ying's entire army arrived in Liangzhou.

Because Chen Ying's army had no luggage at all, all the luggage was in the rear, and each had only half a month's dry food, mainly fried noodles, dried meat, salt, and dried fruits, and each person had two catties of dry food a day.

Chen Ying immediately summoned Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei, Su Dingfang, Ashina Simo and other generals at the rank of Captain Zhechong.

After Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei and other generals arrived, Chen Ying asked, "Do you know what the general asked you to come here?"

Luo Shixin looked straight at Chen Ying and said, "Go and kill people!"

Chen Yingwen laughed loudly and said, "You guessed it right, how far can you march with full armor for a day and a night with dry food?"

Luo Shidao: "No less than two hundred miles!"

The generals became excited one by one, looked at each other, and exchanged eager eyes.Chen Ying intends to use them to march forcefully. Could it be that they want them to run long distances and capture the king first before capturing the thief?

"No less than two hundred miles, the speed is too slow!" Chen Yingdao: "Do you still remember, the last time my general was assassinated by Li Daozong, how far did my general travel from Lingzhou to Yuanzhou in a day and a night?"

Chen Ying's solution is actually very simple.That is to go on a horse.

The speed at which the Mongolian army advances in the battle army is shocking even now. "When conquering the west, the average marching speed reached 95 to 85 kilometers per day. It took only two months and five days to attack and occupy Northern Russia. The average speed reached 55 to 58 kilometers; it took only two months and ten days to capture southern Russia, and the daily attack speed reached 62 to 240 kilometers; it took only three months to capture Hungary and Poland, The attack speed reached [-] to [-] kilometers." ("Mongol Ancient War History" page [-])
Of course, the speed of the Mongolian army, including the time they spent in the battle, that is, their actual marching speed is faster, just because of the battle, a lot of time wasted.Even in the book, there are records of the Mongolian army marching five hundred miles in one night.

Chen Ying knew that the real secret of the Mongolian army's fast march was not to march forward on horseback, but to walk on horseback.

Walking a horse doesn't consume much horse power, but it tortures people very seriously. Chen Ying still remembers the last time he walked a horse for six hundred miles, his crotch was covered with blood.

However, in order to grab the time and arrive in Liangzhou before the Western Turks captured Liangzhou, Chen Ying couldn't care less.

Chen Ying took a breath and shook his head slightly.He is now more and more proficient in the art of leadership, and he has been thrilling all the way. If he doesn't have this ability, he will be useless.After drying the most elite generals of the two armies for a cup of tea, now is the time when they are most eager to fight!
"It's [-]:[-] p.m., and at this time tomorrow, I want your Xiaocavalry Army's six Zhechong Mansions and the Modao Army's three Zhechong Mansions to arrive outside Liangzhou City!"

Luo Shixin's expression became serious when he heard this: "General, please give me an order!"

Chen Ying pondered, but did not give an order.In his memory, the Eastern Turks did not attack Datang in the third year of Wude, but there was a war in the fourth year of Wude, but this war was a one-man show sung by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin would win another battle at that time. Big win.

Now, Chen Ying, a butterfly from another world, has flapped his wings, and history has been changed beyond recognition.This time must be just right, as long as he arrives at Liangzhou City on the eve of Tong Yehu's attack on Liangzhou, and as long as he defeats the enemy, Chen Ying will be the great hero of the Tang Dynasty in helping the crisis, and his position will be unshakable.

Everything is dancing on the tip of the knife, no one knows if his calculation is correct, no one knows if there will be any variables.But in the face of a dead end entangled in one place.He can only break the law like this!
Once the decision is made, there is no turning back.

The eyes of Chen Ying, Luo Shixin, and Zhang Huaiwei collided for a while: "Let's go!"

Luo Shixin and other generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general takes orders!"

"Remember! Twelve hours, six hundred miles." Chen Ying exuded strong confidence and strong arrogance, and said loudly: "This general wants Liangzhou to be safe and sound, and this general wants to make the people of the Western Regions safe and sound." The land, all nations and all races tremble and obey under the horseshoe of this great general!"
