The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 831 The Final Confrontation Under the City of Talas (Subscribe)
"General, the Tang army is attacking the city!"

The next morning, it was still dark.

Abu's confidant general Ziyad hurried into the governor's mansion and woke Abu up from his sleep.

Just as he opened his eyes, Ziyad's urgent voice came from his ears again: "General, tens of thousands of Tang troops are invading outside the city, and the leading general is the former commander of the Tang army."

Tang Jun took the initiative to attack the city?

As soon as Abu heard this, he immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "Come on, follow me to the top of the city."

He just made the decision to withdraw his troops last night. As soon as he started to arrange the retreat, Tang Jun bit him.

This is clearly not letting him leave!

As the two of them hurried out of the mansion and boarded the east gate tower, they could see a mass of people outside the city outside the city when they looked up.The distance from the city gate was only fifty feet, but the Arab heavy archers were helpless against this distance.

"General, it is very difficult for our bows and arrows to attack the Tang army."

Ziyad looked down at the city with a solemn expression. There was no doubt about the combat power of the Tang army. Now that the opponent is calling for battle, I am afraid that he will not easily give up the advantage of a strong army and attack the city.

Because the formation of the Tang army outside the city was very clear, those crossbowmen with long-range attack power were all standing on a sandbag mound that had just been built.

The height of the sandbag is even slightly higher than the city wall.

Just as Ziyad finished speaking, the Qin Rui crossbowman outside the city had already raised his hand and made a shooting posture.Thousands of sharp arrows came straight to the direction of the gate tower, with the sharpness and speed of armor-piercing arrows, they were much better than Arabian bows and arrows.

"Puff puff puff"

Even though there were big shield soldiers holding up their shields to resist, many big shields were still shot through, and people could be seen lying on the ground from outside the city.

The big food shield soldiers were not given a chance to defend, and the second round of shooting followed.

Luo Shixin knew very well what his mission was, so even if he was confident of storming the city gate, he did not order the army to press down on it. Instead, he took all the sandbags and set up a formation, pressing down on Taluosi City with a strong crossbow.

In this way, it would be delusional to think of a safe retreat if the big food soldiers in Taluosi City defeated him first without leaving the city.

"General, are we going out of town to fight?"

Ziad narrowly dodged a stray arrow, leaned forward and asked Abu beside him, but Abu obviously hesitated at this moment.

Go out of the city to fight, right in the arms of Tang Jun.

If you can't shrink back, you can only be beaten and unable to fight back, which will definitely hurt morale.

The dilemma made Abu hesitate for a moment, and after several breaths, he said: "Only the crossbowman in the Tang army can pose a threat to us, let's leave him alone for now, and wait until nightfall."

After that, Abu left again under the cover of the soldiers.

The Tang army was in such a hurry that his retreat plan could only be advanced.

.........

Sunset moon rises, night falls.

Luo Shixin's military guards squatted outside the city for a whole day, and the crossbowmen alone fired no less than [-] crossbow arrows.

At this time, the Arabs are still not good at using crossbows, even if they get the crossbow arrows, it will not help, but since the afternoon, Luo Shixin did not let the Qin Rui crossbowmen continue to attack, and the soldiers and horses under his command ate some dry food in batches to feed themselves, maintaining their strength and waiting for the arrival at any time war.

Being exposed to the scorching sun all day, Luo Shixin would not believe it if he said he was not tired.But when the army went out, there were more difficult battles than this, so Luo Shixin had no plan to lead the army back to the camp.

Unlike Li Guang, who has always been considerate of soldiers, Luo Shixin is not only ruthless to the enemy on the battlefield, but also ruthless to his soldiers and horses.But it was also this cold heart that was the reason why Mo Xiaobai dared to entrust Wuwei to him.

Looking at the city in front of him calmly, Luo Shixin believes that if there is any change in the opponent, it must be tonight.If it were him, if the enemy army stayed outside the city for several hours and did not evacuate, they would order an attack.

"Is there any news from the sentry sent to investigate the other city gates?"

"Nothing happened."

Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yu Dayou and other generals were also around Luo Shixin at the moment, and the former shook his head slightly: "It looks like we let our scouts roam around outside the city."

After hearing this, Luo Shixin squinted his eyes and said, "Let the soldiers cheer up, the battle is about to begin."

Zhang Xi didn't ask any further questions. Although he was a little weaker in bravery, he was also a veteran in battle. He understood that at such a moment, the calmer the sea, the more murderous intentions are hidden.

The big cannibals in the city didn't care if there was Tang Tanma around, they were obviously making final preparations.

With a high probability, it is a reverse assault.

"Aren't you really going to ask the lord for help?" Gao Lan has followed the South and North Wars all these years, and his strength and vision are much wider than before. Feeling the pressure of the storm, he couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"My lord ordered me to be crucified here. This is our task." Luo Shixin replied very simply, rejecting Gao Lan's proposal.

Of course, this task will be very difficult, but if it is not difficult, why does Luo Shixin come in person?

Asking the lord for help at this moment will definitely disrupt the lord's other plans.

Just as the few people exchanged in low voices, groups of soldiers gathered in Taluosi City.

In the direction of the east gate, more than ten thousand soldiers and horses lined up.

As the gates on both sides of the city were pushed open at the same time, the soldiers of the Great Food rushed out of the city with a bang like a tide.

"Bowmen get ready, release arrows!"

Luo Shixin, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, immediately shouted, and the military order was not delayed for a second.

The distance of a hundred steps is actually very close.

After only one round of shooting, the two sides were already in close combat.

Luo Shixin, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan, and Yu Dayou were all brave generals. They charged forward in the melee, and each led their troops to attack, and quickly suppressed the soldiers who left the city.

Half an hour later, the big food soldiers began to retreat after failing to attack.

More than a thousand corpses were left behind, and they turned around the city neatly.

Luo Shixin did not pursue, but looked at the slowly closing city gate, waved his hand and said, "Send the wounded soldier back to the camp, and report the battle situation to the lord, the big cannibal seems to be trying to kill us on purpose."

"That's right, Dashi still has [-] soldiers. If you really want to break out of the siege, you won't just send more than [-] people to die." Yu Dayou nodded in agreement, and at the same time smiled: "This kind of trick is not surprising, but it is hard for us. Tonight I'm afraid there will be no rest."

"Let's see how long they can make a fuss."

At this time Zhang Yun came over with a long knife in his hand, and said, "The results of the first battle just now were not bad. The school captains counted the soldiers, and only 160 people died in battle."

With a battle loss close to [-]:[-], and having endured the whole day, Zhang He has reason to be proud of being a general of the military guard.

An hour later, more than ten thousand soldiers rushed out from the east gate.

The two sides fought again for nearly half an hour, and the Dashi soldiers retreated into the city again.

At three o'clock in Haishi, the third assault.

At three quarters, the fourth assault.

Yu Dayou's words were quickly confirmed, and Dashi went out of the city to attack almost every hour.

Repeated battles and fights are indeed challenging the nerves of Luo Shixin and the Mengke soldiers.

Until, late at night ugly.

The gates are open!

However, the Dashi soldiers and horses that rushed out this time were no longer mere ten thousand people.
