Man Tanghong

Chapter 107 The mighty Tang Dynasty!

Shen Wu fell into silence when he heard what the captain said.

After taking a breath, Shen Wu gritted his teeth, and said to the team: "I will give you another team of soldiers and horses, be sure to guard the crenel you are guarding. If you can't resist the Turkic people, then shoot a loud arrow at the place where the Turkic people are the most. "

The team was taken aback.

Shen Wu didn't say much, and told the officers and soldiers of the Zuo Santong Army Mansion beside him, "People from the fourth team are going to assist the defense with Yao team."

The soldiers of Shen Wu's four teams are actually less than one team, there are only more than 30 people left.

After hearing Shen Wu's order, they got up together and moved closer to Captain Yao.

Team Yao didn't say much, and led the soldiers of the fourth team to the crenel that he was in charge of again.

As soon as we got to the crenel, we saw the Turks rushing towards the city wall. There were less than ten soldiers of Weize Pass guarding the crenel.

Team Yao is rushing up to help with soldiers from the fourth team.

In one face-to-face meeting, two soldiers of the fourth team were injured.

There are too many Turkic people, and the offensive is too fierce.

Even if they tried their best, it was difficult to parry.

The only thing they were lucky about was that Li Xiuning dug a wide and deep trench outside Weize Pass during the guarding of Weize Pass.

With the existence of this trench, the Turks will not be able to use ordnance such as siege vehicles for the time being.

Otherwise, the Turkic people can easily reach the place where they are higher than them by using the siege vehicles, and fight them head-on.

In that case, let alone resisting, they might be overwhelmed by the Turkic people once they meet each other.

"The team is right, more and more Turkic people are gathering."

Some soldiers threw stones under the city wall while shouting at Team Yao.

Yao Dui was gritting his teeth and said, "Fire the arrow!"

Although he didn't know the effect of Shen Wu asking him to let go of the arrow, but since Shen Wu mentioned it, he had no good way to do it, so he could only do it.

Following Yao Duzheng's order, the soldiers carrying the arrows on their backs immediately bent their bows and set up their arrows, aiming at the place under the city wall where there are most Turkic people.

After the loud arrow shot out, there was a sharp whistle.

next moment.

A thick pillar of fire suddenly rose from the city wall, shot out like an arrow, and ruthlessly plunged into the crowd of Turkic people.

Where the pillar of fire passed by, the Turkic people screamed one after another. Some Turkic people who were swept by the pillar of fire either covered their arms or covered their necks.

Blood gushed out from the place they covered.

The Turkic man who was plundered to the neck couldn't even utter a scream, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out mouthfuls of blood.

The Turkic people who were concentrated in front of the pillar of fire were even more miserable. They just followed the top of the pillar of fire and entered the soil together with their figures.

Whether it was the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the city wall or the Turkic people outside the city wall, they were all shocked by the pillar of fire that suddenly shot out from the Weizeguan city wall.

Xieli and Tuli, who were sitting on a movable watchtower watching the battle, stared in shock and stood up abruptly.

Tu Li anxiously asked Liang Shidu who was sitting not far away, "What kind of weapon is that?"

Liang Shidu also stared in disbelief, not knowing how to answer after hearing Tuli's question.

After a brief shock, Jieli also looked at Liang Shidu.

He didn't know how lethal the fire pillar was.

But the deterrent effect of the pillar of fire is obviously very strong.

Where the pillar of fire landed, the Turkic soldiers and horses were in a mess.Most of them were obviously frightened by the pillar of fire falling from the sky.

If Tang Jun used hundreds or even more fire pillars in one breath.

Then the army under his command is likely to be scared back.

No matter how brave the Turkic warriors were, their scalps would tingle when they saw the pillar of fire falling suddenly from the sky.

"Sir...Sir..."

Master Liang opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't tell what the pillar of fire was.

Seeing that Jieli frowned, with the intention of getting angry, he hurriedly said: "I have never seen this kind of ordnance, but I guess that this kind of ordnance should not be suitable for forging, and the Tang army should not have many.

Otherwise, Tang Jun would not have waited until now to use it. "

Tu Li blew his beard and stared and shouted: "You don't even know what weapon Tang Jun is using, what do you want?!"

Tuli has always been displeased with Liang Shidu.

Once he caught any omissions of Master Liang, he would find fault with Master Liang.

Master Liang lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

As if he didn't hear Tuli's words, Jieli tasted Liang Shidu's words and nodded in agreement.

This kind of ordnance with unknown lethality and strong deterrence should be numerous.

Otherwise, the Tang army would have used it as early as when they began to attack Weizeguan.

Using this kind of ordnance earlier can form a deterrent to the soldiers and horses under their command and reduce the consumption of the Tang army.

Moreover, if this kind of highly deterrent ordnance could be easily forged and equipped in large quantities, the Tang army would have used it on battlefields everywhere, and there was no need to wait until this moment to take it out.

"Shibobi, don't be impatient, let's see how many fire pillars Tang Jun has."

After Xieli accepted what Liang Shidu said, he sat down calmly.

He has an army of 200,000, and Tang Jun can't finish killing him.

Even with this kind of military assistance, at most it can deter his army for a while, and it cannot continue to threaten.

When Tuli heard Xieli's words, he glared at Liang Shidu, and did not attack Liang Shidu again.

"Snapped……"

"Clap clap clap..."

Just as Tu Li was about to sit down, a series of explosions came from where the pillar of fire landed.

Sparks splashed from Huo Zhu's body all of a sudden.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the Turkic people around them screamed in an instant as if they had been injured.

The Turkic people within a hundred feet around the pillar of fire suddenly became a mess, either running or screaming.

Jieli stood up again, and said in disbelief, "This kind of ordnance has this kind of power?"

Before, he was not clear about the lethality of the fire pillar, but now it is clear that the lethality is extremely strong, so strong that he can't believe it.

Liang Shidu also looked at the position of Huozhu in disbelief, not knowing how to evaluate it.

He had never seen or heard of this kind of ordnance.

But the power displayed by this kind of ordnance is far superior to other ordnance such as trebuchets.

The lethality and deterrence, among all the ordnance he has seen, can be called the top one.

"The number shouldn't be too much..."

Master Liang said comfortingly.

Although Xieli was shocked by the power of the pillar of fire, he also agreed with Liang Shidu's words.

The Tang army certainly doesn't have much of this kind of ordnance with strong lethality and strong deterrence.

Otherwise, Tang Jun would have been equipped on a large scale long ago, and with it, he would have killed the Quartet.

They can also kill Wei Ze Pass.

Xieli sat down again, staring closely at the city wall of Weizeguan, he wanted to see how many such ordnance Tang Jun had.

He wanted to tell Tang Jun that after Tang Jun ran out of this kind of ordnance, it was impossible to hold Weize Pass in his hands with this kind of ordnance alone.

……

Weizeguan city wall.

After Commander Yao ordered the arrows to be released, he waited expectantly. When the pillar of fire rose into the air, he opened his mouth in shock, and the soldiers around him also opened their mouths in shock.

When the pillar of fire fell to the ground, he started to shout excitedly.

"My Tang Dynasty actually has such a sharp weapon!"

"My Tang Dynasty actually has such a sharp weapon!"

The soldiers around him also shouted excitedly.

"Clap clap clap..."

When dense explosions sounded, sparks shot out from the pillar of fire, injuring the enemies within a few meters around the pillar of fire, and frightened the Turkic people who were hundreds of feet away into chaos.

Team Yao was shouting at the city wall with the loudest voice in his life.

"Quickly release the arrow!!"

When a pillar of fire goes down, it can knock down a group of enemies and scare away a large group of enemies.

The crenel where he was located obviously felt the pressure lighten.

Datang has this kind of sharp weapon to help out, not to mention dealing with 200,000 Turkic people, even if it is dealing with more Turkic people, it still has a chance to win.

The only rationality left in his mind told him that the number of such sharp weapons should not be too many. If the Turkic people are not prepared yet, if they use them all in one go, they will definitely cause serious damage to the Turkic people.

As his shout fell to the ground, arrows sounded everywhere on the city wall.

He didn't know, and neither did most of the soldiers on the city wall.

The person in charge of this pillar of fire is their highest commander, His Highness King Qi.

They used a certain His Royal Highness King Qi who did not want to be named as an ordnance.

A certain His Royal Highness King Qi who did not want to be named could only be an old scalper.

"Huhuhu..."

As the loud arrows on the city wall fell to the ground, pillars of fire rose into the sky.

As soon as one pillar of fire fell to the ground, another pillar of fire rose into the air.

Sometimes two pillars of fire flew out together.

When fifty pillars of fire flew out of the city wall, Wei Ze Pass boiled up and down.

"The mighty Tang Dynasty!"

"The mighty Tang Dynasty!"

"..."

I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and all of a sudden Wei Ze started shouting.

The shouts overshadowed the drums of the Turks outside the pass, the roars of the Turks, and the screams of the Turks.

Xieli, who was sitting firmly on the watchtower, couldn't sit still anymore, fifty pillars of fire, burning with raging flames, pierced outside Weize Pass.

Where fifty pillars of fire were located, Turkic soldiers and horses were either killed or wounded.

Although the damage was within Xieli's range, the deterrent force formed by the pillar of fire forced the surrounding Turkic soldiers to retreat a hundred feet away.

The offensive composed of Turkic soldiers and horses obviously stagnated.

Some Turkic people who were injured by the sparks splashed from the pillar of fire, or were frightened, obviously stopped moving forward, and even retreated a bit.

"Didn't you say that the Tang army doesn't have many such weapons?"

Xieli stared angrily at Master Liang and questioned him.

Master Liang hurriedly stood up, bowed and said, "The trebuchets and large crossbows we used were prepared by tens of thousands of people and took a year to prepare.

The ordnance used by the Tang army is far more powerful than trebuchets and large crossbows. It is more complicated to forge and requires more manpower.

The Tang army had never used similar ordnance on the battlefield before, so this kind of ordnance was obviously newly made by the craftsmen in the Tang army, and the number must not be too many. "
