Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 600

The sky hangs low.

Dark clouds over the city.

Siye stood at the head of the city of Nao County, looking at the Turkic people on all sides outside the city.

Nao County is a city with a long history. At that time, King Wuling of Zhao defeated the Hu people, covering thousands of miles, and then set up Nao County.

Nao County is also known as Xiaohedong. Its topography and landforms are simply a small-sized whole area of ​​Hedong, with mountains on the east and west sides, a flat river sandwiched between the two mountains, and a Hutuo River flowing through the plain from north to south.

The ancients said that this place, the general battlefield of thousands of mulberry fields, and the terracotta of hundreds of rivers and mountains, has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Therefore, it is also known as the lock key of the Three Jin Dynasties.

When the emperor came out of Yanmenguan and the Turks attacked, Siye led the army to open the way for the vanguard. The Turks came too fast, the emperor hurriedly withdrew into Yanmen, and Siye's left army was also blocked in Nao County.

It was too late to go back to Yanmen, a hundred miles away, to meet the emperor.

Fortunately, although Nao County is small, it is still very dangerous as the key to the Three Jin Dynasties, and there is a lot of military rations hoarded in the city.

If there is food and soldiers, Siye will guard Nao County and fight endlessly with the Turkic people here.

"General, there are too many Turkic people. There are at least [-] Turkic people outside the city." Captain Liu Hongji said.

"really."

After the Turks wiped out the remaining cities in Yanmen County, most of the soldiers and horses returned to Yanmen City and Nao County. There were at least 18 Turks in Yanmen City and [-] in Nao County.

In addition, about [-] Turks were hunting grass and valleys in various places in Yanmen.

In the past few days, the number of Turkic people in Nao County increased from [-] to [-], and new Turkic people arrived every day.

Another lieutenant, Yin Kaishan, said worriedly, "After several days of fierce fighting, our First Left Army also suffered a lot of casualties. More than [-] people have been killed and seriously injured. If this fight continues, the soldiers of the First Left Army will be drained of blood .”

Both Liu Hongji and Yin Kaishan are Luo Siye's right-hand men, and they are the two most valiant generals under his command. Liu Hongji's father was the governor of Hezhou, but he passed away early. Not doing production, making the family business ruined.Later, he was entrusted with his father's shade as You Xun's attendant, and followed the emperor's eastward expedition, but he was killed in time, so he deliberately slaughtered cattle with his subordinates and violated the law, and was then arrested and imprisoned.

After serving a year in prison, he was released from prison. After he came out, he fled to the rivers and lakes and became a horse thief against him.Later, the Xiaoguo Army expanded its recruitment. Liu Hongji enlisted in the army and joined the Zuoyi Army. Because of his bravery and his ability to ride and shoot, he was valued by Siye.

And Yin Kaishan's father was the Secretary Cheng of the Secretary Province, and he himself became the magistrate of Dagu County, and was later transferred to the Xiaoguo Army to join the army. Although he was a civil servant, he was good at riding and shooting, and had a good military strategy, so he was recruited Heir industry reuse.

"You have to fight even if you are dry!"

Heir industry way.

The Turks surrendered to them more than once, but Luo Siye never thought of surrendering.

"The moonlight should be good tonight, let the brothers have a good meal, and we will go out of the city to attack the camp."

There are too many enemy troops, and the defense of the city cannot be blindly defended, otherwise it will not last long.

Especially now that the Turkic people have kidnapped many Han people and craftsmen and built siege equipment recklessly outside the city.

When attacking the camp tonight, we don't want to defeat the Turks, but we want to destroy those weapons.

"Okay!" The second general Liu Yin was unequivocal.

They are all daring people, especially Liu Hongji, who is a ruthless man who ran off to be a horse thief without being an officer.

night.

midnight.

Everything is quiet.

The city gate of Nao County opened quietly, Luo Siye led two thousand iron-clad black-lacquered horses, Longxiang cavalry in front, Liu Hongji and Yin Kaishan each led four thousand Xuanjia light cavalry behind.

Ten thousand cavalry rushed out.

Go straight to the place where the Turkic siege equipment was built outside the city.

The sound of horseshoes broke the tranquility of the night.

The blazing fire ignited the siege equipment that was about to be completed, as well as piles of felled wood.

The Turkic people yelled, but Siye led his cavalry all the way to kill them.

kill.

set fire.

The chaos continued until dawn.

Siye returned to the city with his cavalry. Although he lost more than a thousand people, he managed to burn all the Turkic siege equipment and wood, and broke through several Turkic camps, killing thousands of people.

The results are rich.

After dawn.

The angry Turks began to gather troops and horses, ready to attack.

Without siege equipment, the Turks had to temporarily cut down trees to make some of the simplest long ladders.

Siye only squinted for a while.

Then he rushed to the top of the city to watch.

"It seems that the Turkic people are really angry. They don't plan to make any more weapons, but attack directly."

"I will lead the army out of the city and line up against the city. Colonel Yin, you command from the city, and use crossbowmen to support the cover. Captain Liu, you lead the cavalry to cover on both wings."

Don't defend the city to death, this is the rich experience that Siye gained from following Luo Cheng's expeditions to the east and west.

Only guarding in the city, then the defense will be too weak.

It is a pity that the strongholds and forts on the outskirts of Nao County are all lost, and they can no longer contain the enemy's forces and threaten their rear.

Then you can only go out of the city and guard by the city.

In this way, the defense of the defenders becomes an active defense, which can be attacked and defended, and the defense depth is wider.

Unless there is really no energy left, it is extremely dangerous to close the door and defend the city.

Some military officers persuaded the defenders to stay out, but Siye said, "With more than [-] people against [-] people, if you can't defend it, it may be feasible, but if you can't shrink back, how can you defeat the enemy? How can you go north to Qinwang to rescue the siege?"

Siye led his army out of the city.

Put nearly [-] light infantry on and behind the city, and cover the city with bows.

Under the city, there were [-] mo swordmen and [-] long-handled axemen in the middle, more than [-] light cavalry on the left and right wings, and [-] heavy cavalry behind the infantry.

This is an all out fight.

The Turkic commander under the city of Nao County was Ashina Tulif She, the son of Qimin Khan and the younger brother of Shibi Khan, who was named Dongmian She, and he was also powerful and cruel.

Last night, he was killed by the Turkic Turks, and his troops were lost, especially after the equipment that had been built for many days was destroyed, he became angry from embarrassment.

He had previously assured Shibi that Nao County would be captured in three days, but it took six or seven days to defeat it.

Seeing that the Tang army dared to go out of the city to form an array, Qi Lifu set up orders to order the Turkic Qingqi to rush forward.

"Fire arrows!"

Up and down the city of Nao County, ten thousand arrows are fired.

Even the spearmen, sword players, and heavy soldiers deployed behind the city wall lined up neatly under the city, holding infantry longbows together, and shooting at the sky together.

in front of the city.

The light cavalry, Mo Daomen, and long axemen also raised their bows and shot wildly before meeting the enemy.
