Chinese dining table

Chapter 35 Fighting, Fighting
"Look—white—cloud—ah, I can see myself clearly.

Look—mountain—river—hey, I saw beauty..."

Naha sat on her brother's lap and listened carefully to her brother's singing. It had been a long, long time since her brother had sung.

The wounded who were moaning in pain seemed to have forgotten the pain at this moment, and closed their mouths to listen carefully to Yun Chu's singing.

Yun Chu's singing appearance is really beautiful, and his singing voice is also very pleasant. Although he can't understand the Tang Dynasty folk songs he sang, it's just a sad and euphemistic tune, which makes people want to listen to it forever.

The corpses piled up in the corner of the wall were carried away by Liu Xiong in a bullock cart. Except for a strong stench, there was nothing left behind by those who died.

Three of the wounded are also in very bad condition, their wounds are becoming red and swollen...

"Brother, can we still eat steamed buns today?" Naha grabbed a strand of hair hanging down at Yunchu, begging in a waxy voice.

Naha's Chinese is not good, and the order of the words is often wrong. Fortunately, Yunchu can still understand her confused words.

"We can't get out of the city now, we can't find shallots, and the all-beef steamed buns don't taste good at all."

Naha blinked her big eyes and said, "The old man said, if I need anything, I can go to him, and he will definitely help me."

Yun Chu stroked Naha's soft hair and said in a low voice, "Of course you can. For things you can't do by yourself, it's right to ask someone to help you."

Naha immediately jumped off Yunchu's lap, and jumped into the half-open tunnel on her own.

Those people fought fiercely last night, and this morning, Kucha City seemed extraordinarily quiet.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was the time when the sun was at its strongest, and the bright white sunlight hit the ground, making it so hot that people couldn't breathe.

The black flag of the Tang Dynasty embroidered with gold letters was hanging limply on the flagpole, and there was not even a breath of wind in the sky.

All the people in the city collapsed weakly in the shade, gasping for breath and drinking water continuously, but after drinking so much water, they didn't have the slightest urge to urinate.

The Karez well water that originally flowed into the city is gone, so I can only rely on the six wells in the city.

These six wells are enough to supply the population of 3000 to [-] in the city of Kucha. In addition, everyone likes to use the water flowing from the Karez well on weekdays, so the well water is basically not used by anyone.

Now that the water in the Karer well is gone, there are more troops from the Zhechong Mansion in the city, as well as more horses and livestock. In a short time, the water fetching team lined up by the well is exhausted.

It is extremely hot in the city, but it is actually even hotter outside the city. There are only large areas of flat land without barley. Under the scorching sun, the water vapor in the fields floats into the air in wisps visible to the naked eye.

The Turkic people outside the city set up a lot of tents on the flat ground. In the hot weather, their fur robes could no longer be worn, and they just lay naked in the few shaded places and stuck out their tongues.

Yunchu always thought that Ding Dayou was unreliable, because he had seen with his own eyes how greedy and lustful this guy was, and how he returned his mother's greed for money.

But it was such a person who took his only 02 cavalry out of the city at around 30:[-] in the afternoon, when the weather was the hottest.

Five hundred war horses in pitch-black vests with a torch sticking out of their buttocks formed an array of arrows and rushed towards the Turkic camp as soon as they left the city gate.

He Yuanshan clenched his fists tightly and shouted at Yunchu: "Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat the drum, beat the drum for Datang."

Yun Chu just wanted to get the drumstick, but Liu Xiong took the first step. This guy picked up the drumstick and hit it fiercely. For a while, the drum was loud.

The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty really shot at the Turkic camp like a sharp arrow. At a distance of [-] steps behind them, Yunchu saw Jaska who took the lead. Yes, the Cypriot cavalry also killed them at the same time. go out.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the messy Turkic camp, those Turkic people who were naked and hiding in the shade scattered away, and then, behind the endless tents, came out, also neatly dressed Turkic cavalry.

"Oops, this is a trap! Ming Jin, Ming Jin..." He Yuanshan roared heart-piercingly, but was kicked aside by Ding Dayou who came out of nowhere, and snatched it from the stupid Liu Xiong. Drumsticks, continue to beat, this time, the drums are no longer messy, but orderly.

The sharp black arrow pierced into the khaki ranks of the Turks, like a hot black knife piercing into the butter, and dared to invade the Turkic cavalry with indescribable silkiness. When encountering any obstacles, a gap was cut in the khaki Turkic cavalry group.

He couldn't hear the sound of fighting or shouting, and his ears were filled with the sound of horseshoes trampling the ground. He could only see the black sharp arrow, which turned into a black dagger at this moment, trying to move forward among the thousands of horses.

Before the Turkic troops could be reunited, a group of Serbian cavalry wearing pointed hats led by Jie Siga bravely followed the bloody path trampled by the Tang army and rushed into the Turkic army formation.

If the cavalry team of the Tang people is like a sharp knife, then the cavalry team of the Cypriot people is like a chisel.

Yun Chu saw that his blood was throbbing, he opened his mouth wide and screamed loudly, not only he was screaming, but everyone standing at the top of the wall was screaming.

Ding Dayou didn't know when he stopped beating the drum, and said indifferently to He Yuanshan, "Go out of the city and take them back."

He Yuanshan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and shouted to those around him: "Pikemen, shieldmen, archers, follow me out of the city, and bring the warriors back to the city."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly descended the city wall, and a group of people hurriedly organized their team at the head of the city, and then they carried a huge shield, held up bows and arrows, and approached the Turkic army formation step by step.

When He Yuanshan reached a stone's throw away, he looked back at the top of the city.Ding Dayou on the top of the city began to beat the drums again, so He Yuanshan had no choice but to continue to move forward. The sound of the drums did not stop where the two arrows landed, so He Yuanshan had to continue to approach the Turkic army tremblingly. Among them, there was also a cavalry who broke away from the large team and began to approach He Yuanshan.

Ding Dayou stopped beating the drum, glanced at the battlefield, then looked back at Yunchu and said, "Why don't you go out?"

Under Ding Dayou's wolf-like gaze, Yun Chu couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said guiltily, "I'm the doctor."

Ding Dayou said indifferently: "I'm talking about the whole army attacking, this time I will let you go, and the next time you dare to fight cowardly, I will cut you into pieces as a warning to others."

Yunchu didn't doubt that this guy could do such a thing. Just as he was about to make sure, Ding Dayou also went down the city wall. Yunchu leaned over and saw this guy took a two-meter-long handle from his entourage. The Mo knife, this kind of weapon is not much in the Datang army, it is said that it can smash horses.

The black cavalry team had already entered the tent area, and then a big fire broke out in the tent area. Until now, Yun Chu didn't know why there was a torch on the upper part of the horse's buttocks.

The sky was dry, and most of the Turkic tents were covered with some animal fat to prevent rain. At this moment, the animal fat had already been melted by the sun, and it burned immediately when it came into contact with the torch.

The cavalry did not stop, but played a chasing battle with the Turkic cavalry in the tent area. No matter where they went, there would be a fire.

The Cypriot cavalry with white pointed hats fell into a hard fight. They rushed forward for more than half of their efforts, and were finally blocked by the Turkic cavalry, and began to struggle to support the Turkic siege.

He Yuanshan's infantry formation had long been surrounded by giant shields, and dense spears protruded from the gaps in the giant shields, facing the cavalry rushing towards them.

Yunchu knew that when the galloping war horse ran towards you, its figure would gradually grow larger in the eyes, and finally cover the entire sky, like an ancient beast.

"Let the arrows, let the arrows..." He Yuanshan yelled, put the copper hammer on his waist, picked up a three-meter-long spear and placed it at an angle of thirty degrees, the handle of the spear was on the ground, quietly Waiting quietly for the horse to hit.

Yunchu watched the battle from a very good angle. He could see the Turkic cavalrymen who were shot down by the feathered arrows, and he could also see the nervous people behind the huge shield.

Arrows are like locusts, horses are like dragons.

Dust was left behind by the horse, and the horse's neck was stretched forward, and the speed had been raised to the limit.

"Let the arrows, let the arrows... Liu Xiong raised his spear and roared loudly.

"Gnass, Gnass..."

"Balu, Balu..."

All kinds of voices requesting to release arrows were intertwined on the battlefield, even Yun Chu who was standing on the city wall could hear it clearly.

The archer's hands never stopped, and the feathered arrows were shot from the longbow one after another, but no matter how many feathered arrows he shot and how many Turkic people he shot to death, the number of horses rushing towards him still did not decrease in the slightest.

"Hold the spear, hold the spear, don't hide, don't hide..."

He Yuanshan stepped on the tail of the spear with one foot, his body trembled, tears flowed, and he shouted, but he held the spear tightly, and his feet did not take a step back.

Through the gap in the giant shield, He Yuanshan saw a majestic war horse exhaling heavily, hitting his spear with its broad and strong chest, and the sharp spear easily pierced the horse's chest.

The horse's forward pace didn't stop, it first knocked into the giant shield, and then its body was pierced together with the knight's body, the tough spear shaft was bent suddenly, and then broke from it, the front half was carried by the dead horse from the air It fell, and with a bang, it stopped moving.

And the remaining half was knocked heavily on He Yuanshan's breastplate, and the bright breastplate was smashed instantly. After He Yuanshan vomited a mouthful of blood, he staggered back two steps, his hand had already grasped the copper hammer stuck in his waist , and smashed down at the black shadow passing by.

The copper hammer smashed into the air, and countless scimitars slashed across his mountain armor, making a piercing sound, and a mace hit him. He Yuanshan shrank his head quickly, but the helmet was taken away by the mace, and the helmet was bound. The belt was torn off.

He Yuanshan took two steps back again, and then let out a beast-like howl. He moved the hammers forward and ran forward quickly. The hammer hit a horse's head, and the horse fell to the ground with a whine. He Yuanshan Rolling over the corpse of the horse, he swung the hammer and smashed the head of the fallen Turkic cavalry.
