Man Tanghong

Chapter 101 Join the Battle!

The guards were afraid that Li Yuanji would think they were useless, and they were also afraid that Li Yuanji would be injured by the impact of the falling boulder.

"No need to say too much, I don't mean to blame you, I just want to make a contribution."

Li Yuanji could guess what the guards were thinking, so he calmed down the guards.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were warm.

Li Yuanji was obviously worried that someone among them would be injured, so he stepped forward. How could they not feel warm in their hearts.

But the warmth in the heart returns to the warmth in the heart, and they are very clear about their responsibilities.

Almost unanimously, they straightened their backs and tried their best to prop up the shield higher so that Li Yuanji didn't have to exert himself.

They can be injured and die, but Li Yuanji can't be injured in the slightest, not even scratched.

They died for Li Yuanji, they will be buried generously, and their families will also be treated favorably by Li Yuanji and Li Yuan.

If Li Yuanji died for them, they and their families would have to be buried with them.

They felt Li Yuanji's intentions, but they couldn't let Li Yuanji take the risk.

Li Yuanji felt the slightest pressure on the shield and understood what the guards were thinking, but he didn't say anything.

When the boulder roared down in the second round, he took a sudden step forward and firmly pressed against the shield.

"Boom... bang... bang..."

The boulder violently hit the shield, and Li Yuanji's arm shook slightly, but there was no damage, and his body did not sink from the boulder.

The guards looked at Li Yuanji in shock.

Li Yuanji didn't look at them, but ordered in a deep voice: "Retreat to a place where you can avoid the boulder."

According to the previous memory, such a violent boulder attack usually lasts for three to five rounds.

The purpose is to put pressure on the enemy and force the enemy to temporarily restrain their troops.

It's just that the Turkic trebuchets seem to be a little too much, and the huge stones thrown down covered many places in Weize Pass.

The Turks are not only suppressing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in Weize Pass, but also weakening the combat effectiveness in Weize Pass.

With such an offensive, it's okay to use a shield for one or two rounds.

After four or five rounds, Li Yuanji is fine, but the guards holding their shields will be scared to death.

The reason why the guards didn't retreat was not because they couldn't, but because Li Yuanji didn't give the order.

Now that Li Yuanji has given the order, the guards can naturally retreat.

The guards held up their shields and led Li Yuanji back into the cave at the pass step by step.

The Turkic stone-throwing offensive lasted for four full rounds.

A large number of buildings in Weizeguan were smashed and pitted, and some people in the buildings were killed and injured.

But no one dared to run out to save them.

Because not long after the four rounds of boulders fell, there was another round of majestic arrow rain.

Although the coverage of Arrow Rain was lighter than Jushi's, the pressure on Li Yuanji and his party was not as great as Jushi's.

Li Yuanji ordered the guards to support their shields and rush towards Guancheng against the rain of arrows.

Li Yuanji's position at the pass could be forced by the Turkic offensive to hide under the hole in the pass. The Tang soldiers on the pass who faced the Turkic people are probably even more miserable.

When Li Yuanji climbed up to Guancheng, he saw that the city wall of Guancheng was smashed into gaps one after another by boulders.

Soldiers from the Tang Dynasty lay beside many openings.

Some were crushed to death, with blood flying everywhere.

Some had their arms smashed, and some were kicked back, lying on the ground roaring and rolling.

Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen ran on the city wall against the Turkic arrows, and when they encountered a shortage of people, they first led their troops to block it, and then sent people to dispatch soldiers and horses.

When encountering reckless soldiers, they loudly told them how to counterattack the Turks while defending against the Turks' attacks.

The Turkic offensive was fierce, very ferocious.

As far as the eye can see, there are Turkic people everywhere outside the Guancheng, and they can't see the end at a glance. They are fiercely rushing to all parts of the Guancheng.

Li Yuanji felt that at this moment, Guancheng was like a dam facing the sea, facing the impact of huge waves again and again.

Facing this kind of momentum, timid people may only have fear in their hearts.

Faced with this kind of momentum, bold people will inevitably feel drummed in their hearts.

"Your Highness, why are you here?!"

Xie Shufang hurried over after seeing Li Yuanji's appearance on the Guancheng.

After arriving in front of Li Yuanji, he asked urgently out of breath.

Li Yuanji saw a different kind of arrow stuck in his arm from a long distance away, but he didn't seem to feel it.

After he approached, Li Yuanji stared at his arm and frowned subconsciously.

Xie Shufang was keenly aware of Li Yuanji's gaze, and quickly explained, "When I was patrolling the top of the city just now, I was bitten by an enemy sharpshooter."

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, ready to speak, when he heard Xie Shufang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you should go back to the pass and wait. I will guard Weize Pass to the death, and will never let the Turks go south."

Li Yuanji said in a deep voice, "How about the battle damage?"

Xie Shufang wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Li Yuanji staring straight at him, he didn't dare to persuade him again. He quickly replied: "When the Turkic people feinted for the first time, we hardly suffered any battle damage, but After the Turks officially began to attack the city, our soldiers decreased every moment.

At present, more than 600 people have been killed in battle, and more than [-] people have been seriously injured. "

Xie Shufang, who was slightly injured, didn't say anything, because those who were slightly injured belonged to those who were still fighting, and could still fight on the city wall.

Li Yuanji frowned, and ordered: "Go on with your business and leave me alone."

Xie Shufang was in a hurry, "Your Highness, with a body as rich as gold, how can you put yourself in danger?!"

Li Yuanji also knew that staying in the safest place at this time was the greatest help to Xie Shufang and others.

But let him watch the Turkic people relying on their numbers and power to rain down huge boulders on Weize Pass, smashing the soldiers at Weize Pass to the point of annihilation. Can't live.

"Don't worry, I will hide in a safe place and I will never make trouble for you."

After saying this, without waiting for Xie Shufang to speak again, Li Yuanji took the initiative to walk to a relatively safe position on the city wall.

Seeing this, Xie Shufang gritted his teeth and wanted to persuade him again.

But when he heard an exclamation not far away, he immediately followed the sound and saw that the Turkic people had filled up the ditch in front of the lower gate of the Guancheng, and a group of Turkic people were pushing the siege chisels, and they were frantically heading towards the city. The gate of the city surges in the hole.

There are two gates in Weize Pass, one leads to the inside of the pass and the other leads to the outside of the pass.

The pass where Li Yuanji was before was the gateway to the pass.

Now the Turks are going to attack the gateway to the outside.

Seeing this, Xie Shufang ignored his superiors to take care of Li Yuanji's safety, and ran to order the soldiers to release rolling logs, stones, yaksha rings and other things.

After Li Yuanji climbed the city wall, he didn't cause trouble for him, and he didn't say that he would take over from him to command the soldiers and horses. Even after he showed concern, he took the initiative to run to a relatively safe position, so he could barely feel relieved.

When Xie Shufang arrived at the gate, the soldiers guarding the gate had already put down the rolling logs and rocks.

After the log fell down, it could hit a large number of Turkic people.

The moment the stone fell off the net bag, it also fell on the Turkic man's head like raindrops, and the round shield that the Turkic man was carrying was smashed into gaps one after another.

After Xie Shufang passed by, he cooperated with the soldiers to put down the Yasha ring.

The Yaksha Rai is a kind of iron pillar with iron chains on both ends and a huge thorn in the middle.

After putting down the city head, many enemies can be killed and injured.

The round shield of the Turkic people can't resist the weapon of Yasha Lei at all.

As the yakshas fell one by one, the Turkic people under the door were smashed to death, and had to temporarily suspend the offensive and exit the door.

Although the Turks lost a lot of people under the gate, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty also suffered a lot.

When the Turks pushed the siege and dug the Wangmen hole, many of the Turkic crossbow machines and sharpshooters aimed at the Tang soldiers on the door hole.

Many Tang soldiers were shot and killed by them.

Standing in a relatively safe place, Li Yuanji watched the Tang soldiers fall one after another in front of him, clenching his teeth more and more.

He clearly saw that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were calling their comrades to deal with the Turks one moment ago, but the next moment they were pierced through the neck by Turkic arrows, spilling hot blood on the ground, and fell to the ground with a plop.

"Find a crenel where there are fewer Turkic people, and set up a heavy crossbow!"

Li Yuanji gave orders to the guards beside him in a deep voice.

The guards were a little hesitant, but they did it anyway.

Not long after, a large crossbow was set up in front of a relatively remote crenel where there were fewer Turkic people.

Under the support of the guards, Li Yuanji pulled away the crossbow string with one arm, and ordered the guards to install a crossbow spear on the large crossbow machine.

The reason why the accuracy of the large crossbow is poor, you can't point where to shoot, is because it is too bulky, and the operation requires the cooperation of multiple people, so it can't be like a hand crossbow, which can flexibly change and adjust the position according to the enemy's position.

In addition, the large ballista has a longer range, and it greets farther targets.

It is difficult to accurately lock the position of the target with the naked eye alone.

But this point is almost negligible on the current battlefield, because the Turks have already rushed under the city wall.

Li Yuanji was strong enough to handle the large crossbow by himself and flexibly adjust the position of the large crossbow, so the large crossbow was just a hand crossbow in his hand.

"Smash!"

Li Yuanji quickly ordered after aiming at an enemy.

The guard holding the gavel slammed down the gavel almost before Li Yuanji's voice fell to the ground.

The crossbow machine shook, and the crossbow gun flew out.

Outside the pass, a man who was sitting on horseback, wielding a scimitar, and was driving the Turks to rush towards Weize Pass was pierced by a crossbow spear.

Seeing this, the Turkic people around were just stunned for a moment, but they didn't react too much.

They just thought it was unlucky for the guy on horseback, who just happened to be shot by a dead mouse on the city wall by Tang Jun's blind cat.

"Bowgun!"

Li Yuanji said hello.

　Thanks to 'Fengyu Nandu' for the reward of [-] book coins!
