Chastity Layman

  Chapter 610 Iron Kite

  Chai Shao drew his sword and issued an order for the general attack of the whole army. The slogan was very domineering, destroy this imperial food.

   Kill the 60,000 Tuyuhun army, and then have breakfast.

  50,000 vs. 60,000, the number is still slightly weaker, and there should be no advantage in fighting a Tuyuhun camp, but for famous Tang generals like Chai Shao, it is a bit difficult to fight five of them. One hits three, that's called evenly matched. If it's one-on-two, it's called bullying barbarians.

   Now it’s almost a one-on-one situation. This is already bullying the weak by the strong. If you still can’t win, then go home and take your children. Are you still worthy of leading soldiers to fight?

  Even if the army is not all Guanlongfu soldiers at this time, but is filled with a large number of vassals, the combat effectiveness of these vassals is still very strong, and they have fully adapted to the command and combat system of the Tang army.

  In Chai Shao's view, although the Qiang barbarians commanded by the Tang army are still Qiang barbarians, their combat effectiveness has been doubled.

Countless soldiers surrounded the Tianzhu King's camp from all directions, using the most powerful move of the Tang army, covering the attack with saturated firepower, and covering the enemy camp with dense cluster lobs, making the Tuyuhun people in the camp unable to lift their heads at all. Come, and the light cavalry galloped wildly under cover of fire.

   More infantry in the back are also charging on horseback, trying to shorten the distance as much as possible, and do not give the enemy archers a chance to counterattack.

   Fight close combat, fight hand-to-hand combat.

  As the sky grew brighter, Tang Jun's offensive became more and more fierce.

Tuyuhun was surrounded on all sides at this time, but he had to bear the violent impact of seven thousand Tang troops like tigers descending the mountain. Lao Cheng was waiting desperately at this time, no matter what fences and trenches you were, or archers. Put on two heavy armors, armed like an iron man, and then hang a shield on his arm, and a long rod in his right hand.

  Old Cheng even took the lead himself, and tied himself to the mount with an iron chain and belt to ensure that even if he was shot to death during the impact, he would not fall off the horse, and the horse would continue to rush down the mountain to open the way.

   Such knights were armed with eight hundred.

   Then there are 1,200 temporarily modified heavy armored infantry wearing double armor and holding a large shield behind them, and then among the rest, there are 1,000 light cavalry and 5,000 archers.

"rush!"

  Lao Cheng took the lead. On the narrow path, two horses drove together, and the iron armor linked.

  Holding countless feathered arrows, they rushed forward regardless.

  Behind, five thousand archers kept drawing their bows and releasing arrows, moving forward while shooting.

  Facing the pickets, fences, and ditches, 800 temporarily built heavy cavalry rushed over abruptly, and horses kept falling down. Cavaliers even locked up the horses, and people died when the horses died.

  War horses will continue to charge forward with their companions.

The horse lance was shattered, Cheng Yaojin smashed it with a steel whip, he did not know how many Tianling caps were smashed, the steel whip was also taken away, and Lao Cheng immediately snatched a long-handled ax from a Qiang man. The man chopped Lao Cheng with this axe, and his horse with one axe. Fortunately, the horse was also bound with thick armor.

  He snatched the long-handled heavy axe, roared and slashed left and right. The rough long-handled iron ax was actually quite handy, and as soon as the ax passed by, the head of the Tuyuhun man whom he had snatched from the axe fell to the sky. With another axe, another insidious guy who stabbed his **** with a spear was shot in the head.

The war horses are wearing thick armor, with bows and arrows and spears rushing forward by inertia, but the trench fences in front of them are holding back horses, and there are more and more spears and axes. The temporary heavy horses run slower and slower, and more and more fall down. .

Lao Cheng was protected by his own soldiers desperately, but he was also bruised and bruised. Fortunately, his armor was thick and he hadn't suffered any fatal injuries for a while, but he was still bleeding and his whole body was red. He couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy's. of.

Eight hundred iron cavalry were almost wiped out under the wild horse stage soon. They made a hole with their lives, and 1,200 temporary heavy infantry in thick armor filled in behind, tearing out a bigger hole with all their strength. .

  The light cavalry finally went down the mountain and rushed into the enemy camp.

  Many of the 5,000 men in the back donated their armor long ago to add defense to the soldiers in front. They only wore an iron helmet, and then drew their bows and arrows, shooting arrows non-stop.

  Outside, under the command of Chai Shao, the 50,000 Tang army and its vassals continued to advance inward, tearing apart one line of defense after another, and the Tianzhu tribe had to mobilize more soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense.

  Cheng Yaojin finally felt that the pressure had eased a lot.

  Step by step, every step forward, there will be corpses lying on the ground, and blood will flow all over the ground.

  There are seven thousand Tang troops on the mountain, and there are hundreds of casualties at every moment.

  Finally, the front was clear, and Lao Cheng found out in a daze that there was no enemy in front of him.

  They smashed through the defense line at the foot of the mountain, and looking forward, not far away, the Tang flag was flying, and countless Tang troops and vassal Qiang cavalry stormed all the way.

  After nearly half of the casualties, Lao Cheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Tianzhu Department was not that strong, and they still didn't hold on for too long.

   An hour after the war started, Lao Cheng and Liu Lancheng, the old brothers, finally met again in the Tianzhu camp. When the old brothers met, they felt as if they had passed away.

   "Old Liu, are you still alive?"

   Liu Lancheng patted Lao Cheng, "You are not dead yet, how could I die, why are there so many arrows stuck in my body, are you pretending to be a hedgehog?"

   "Pretend to be your mother, I was shot."

   "Can we still fight?" Lao Liu asked.

   "It's you, can you still fight!" Old Cheng was unconvinced.

   "Then we two brothers will continue to go shoulder to shoulder and chop them." Old Liu flicked the zhangbamo knife in his hand, showing a cold light. Lao Cheng shook the big ax in his hand, feeling that his hands were trembling, but he pretended to be calm and refused to show timidity.

"kill."

  Both brothers were covered in blood and scarred, but they both laughed hard while slashing wildly with knives and axes, like two lunatics.

  On the other side, the brothers Xue Wanchu led the light cavalry with only 500 riders left, and began to accelerate and gallop. The two brothers gritted their teeth and shot while charging, venting their suppressed dissatisfaction.

At noon, after fighting for more than two hours, the 60,000 Tianzhu king army completely collapsed under the Tang army's encirclement from all sides and the offensive of the flowering in the center. They were only twenty miles away from the mountain, and the 40,000 strong Tianzhu troops in Xidatan and the 130,000 newly defeated soldiers from Fuyun never showed their heads.

  The Tianzhu army, fighting alone and bloody, became more and more desperate, but the Tang army kept shouting all kinds of slogans on purpose, sometimes it was Fu Yun who was captured, and sometimes it was the Tianzhu king who ran away.

  Wait left and right, but in the end everyone collapsed. Tang Jun fought harder and harder, and they became more flustered as they fought.

He wanted to retreat down the mountain, but found that Chai Shao himself was sitting at the intersection. He actually erected several camp fences, placed many horse-repelling fences, and dug many pits. Those fences repelled horses, and many of them were obviously designed to break through the Tuyuhun camp. Behind the fence, it was dragged over.

  Many of those who dug the pit were Tianzhu soldiers who had just been captured on the battlefield. They were driven here, threatening to dig ditches and fences with bows and arrows.

The rain of arrows all over the sky shot down the Tianzhu army trying to rush down the stage in front of the fences of those trenches time and time again. The Tianzhu army finally despaired and no longer wanted to rush down the beach to join the other two armies, but When they began to scatter in all directions, hoping to find a chance of escape, they had completely failed at this time.

   A branch of Tang cavalry began to divide and encircle and annihilate them.

  More Tang army infantry and some vassals formed a dense army formation on the beach, intercepted them with spears, shot them with bows and crossbows, and drove them to the side of the Yellow River, and finally they were forced to a dead end.

   It's hard to fly with wings.

   After rows of Tianzhu men were shot down, Chai Shao finally rode over to surrender.

   Abandon weapons and kneel down to avoid death.

   The desperate Tianzhu troops began to surrender gang by gang.

  Seeing that tens of thousands of Tianzhu soldiers finally began to surrender one after another, after giving up resistance and breaking through, Chai Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Hurry up, call Wang Xiaojie, Liu Shenli, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Lancheng and other generals, and immediately lead the army down the mountain, and tell them that the mountain will soon be overwhelmed."

   It’s not that Tianzhu King at the foot of the mountain never thought of saving the mountain, but they were blocked at Xidatan and couldn’t get through.

When camping, the land of Xidatan was flat and open, and it was close to the river, so it was easy to camp and feed the horses to drink water. As a result, when the Tang army made a surprise attack, they were divided into two halves. Tens of feet.

  Gao Zhensheng led 2,000 riders to immediately block the intersection. The 40,000 soldiers of King Tianzhu could neither go up the mountain to reinforce the 60,000 troops in the headquarters, nor cross the bridge to join Fuyun at Dongdatan.

Although King Tianzhu immediately sent troops to charge and kill this important passage, but Gao Zhensheng fought back desperately, using spears and shields and repelling horses to seal the tens of feet of intersection, and using a strong bow to fight back. The crossbow killed waves of cavalry.

   After Liu Rengui rushed down from the mountain with three thousand archers for reinforcements, Gao Zhensheng felt much more relaxed.

  The army archer on the right side of Sanqianlong stood in the back row and output with all his strength. Relying on the bonus of the narrow terrain, King Tianzhu suffered terribly.

   To the north is the high **** platform, and to the right is the Yellow River. There is only such a narrow passage tens of feet wide, which was blocked by the Tang army.

  No matter how powerful Qingqi is, if he rushes into such an opening, he will die.

   One wave of rushing, one wave of sending.

  The two sides fought all morning.

  The final result was that more than half of the 5,000 troops of Gao Zhensheng and Liu Rengui died, and King Tianzhu left 5,000 or 6,000 corpses there, a real battlefield meat grinder.

   King Tianzhu must save the mountain, he must break through this hole, and Gao Zhensheng Liu Rengui also understands the importance of this hole, and he will stick to it without retreating.

  When the sound was getting weaker and weaker even when it hit the mountain, King Tianzhu was desperate.

   The King in his camp was likewise hopeless.

  They all know that the 60,000 Tianzhu army on the mountain is probably in danger, and once the 60,000 people are gone, the tens of thousands of Tang troops on the mountain will be killed.

   Tianzhu Wang and Zun Wang, the son-in-laws, began to have a fierce quarrel.
