Chapter 64: Liangzhou's blood has dried up (second update)

"You cowards and cowards, do you think you can escape if you leave Liangzhou City?" Li Daozong was so angry that he vomited blood when he saw this scene. He pointed at the people and cursed: "Do you think you can escape if you can escape? There are tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry outside. Can you run through four-legged beasts with two legs? Even if you can escape, can you think of your parents, your wives, children, old and young, can they run? Even if you can escape all and leave Liangzhou alive, no one will look at you directly, because you don't even have the courage to turn around to face the enemy! You have already lost the backbone of a Chinese and the blood of a Chinese! You have thrown away all the most precious things of a man!"

In the turbulent torrent of screams, curses and cries, Li Daozong's roar sounded tremblingly, overwhelming all the sounds, causing the fleeing Liangzhou people to shook their bodies and turned around hesitantly.

In the blood splattered everywhere, Li Daozong's not-burly figure was like a mad tiger, and he rushed to the Turkic Fuli Army formation that was pouring into the city gate like a tide. The horse spear in his hand was thrown out. By chance, he was stabbing a Fuli Army soldier with a sharp spear blade, stabbing through his mouth, but penetrated from the back of his head. The sharp spear blade also had gray-white brain...

The elite Tang soldiers of the Liangzhou army used their flesh and blood to block the attack of the Western Turkic Li army. They were the proud soldiers of the Dingyuan army. They followed Chen Ying to win four battles, from Guanzhong to Lingzhou, from Lingzhou to Hedong, from Yanmen Pass, from Weize Pass, and from Taiyuan City to Iron and Steel Division.

Since they became Chen Ying's troops, they have understood one truth. As an army, even if they are surrounded by heavy siege, even if they have many enemies, even if they know they are dead and have no orders, they will never know what retreat is.

Before he knew it, the people of Liangzhou were stunned. He saw a not-strong Tang army soldier. His shoulder was hit by the iron caltrops of the Western Turkic army, and a large piece of his shoulder was obviously concave. However, the Tang army soldier who could not even hold the hook and sickle did not retreat. Instead, he rushed to a soldier of the army, opened his mouth and bit it towards the face.

The caltrops in the hands of the soldiers of the Fuli Army hit the Tang army on the back from time to time, and the sound of bone breaking sounded one after another, but the Tang army soldier refused to let go and bit the face of the soldiers of the Fuli Army. He glared, but his teeth were tightly biting the flesh on his face...

In terms of equipment, the Fuli Army is indeed worthy of being the most elite army under the command of Ye Hu. Their armor is all armor that uses the Uz cold forging process. The standard is not Chinese style, but more like the Persian chain mail. This armor has very strong ability to defend against arrows and chopping. The layers of iron locks can also defend against blunt weapons to a certain extent.

As for the Mingguang armor, their defense was much weaker in front of them. If it weren't for the Western Turks who had continuously copied the Kushans under the leadership of Tongyehu Khan, most of the treasury of the Sassanian Empire, Tongyehu would have no financial resources to arm such a heavy armored soldier.

The Dingyuan Army's equipment is good, of course it is just good. Compared with other Tang troops, it is already quite good, but compared with the Fuli Army of the Turkic Khan's guards, it is still much worse.

Although these soldiers of the Li army were tall, powerful and extremely vicious, the caltrops in their hands were like the sickle of the God of Death. As long as they attacked, they would not be seriously injured if they hit one person. However, under the leadership of Li Daozong, these Liangzhou soldiers established based on the Dingyuan Army had no one to dodge, and no one retreated.

They only knew that they were holding their weapons to charge into the city gate. Some of them had their sternum broken by the caltrops but they were not dead for a while. Some were smashed to pieces and had a breath left. But they were still bursting out their last power and climbing forward! It seemed that the city gate that was devouring life all the time was not hell, but heaven!

Tongye Hu Khan, who was watching the formation from the front, couldn't help but feel sick when he saw this scene. He was like this, let alone ordinary soldiers! He has seen many fierce enemies, and has seen many people who are not afraid of death, but he has never seen such a crazy enemy. He originally thought that it would be a sure thing to seize Liangzhou City, but at this time he was worried.

Tongye Hu Khan even regretted that if the Tang Dynasty was such a person, no, even if it was only one tenth, no, only one percent of such a brave and fearless person, he would not even think about it and run away quickly, and would not be willing to face such an enemy!

The combat power displayed by the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army in front of the soldiers of the Fuli Army was indeed not worth a laugh, but the aura of death they showed exceeded all this!

A gray-haired old man pushed his two young grandsons aside: "Go and find a place to hide, live well, and give grandpa a incense stick in the future!"

The old man with gray hair picked up a horizontal knife from the ground that he had thrown down by someone, raised the horizontal knife, and roared with a ferocious look on his face: "Grandpa is here!"

The old man who had just left had no time to shoot a knife, but was hit in half by a caltrop of a soldier with a military armor.

The brother who was originally protecting his younger brother and hiding in the city saw this scene and picked up a brick.

The fear is easily infected. If a person turns around and runs away, it is likely to cause tens of thousands of troops to collapse. However, similarly, a fearless person can influence countless people. Even if he is a real coward, he will become fearless when facing everyone around him who is not afraid of death.

As the young man joined the battle with a stone, countless people in Liangzhou roared, forgot their lives and joined the battle with shoulder poles, sticks, horizontal knives, or hoes. Of course, the first person to be hit was killed in a blink of an eye. The bodies fell to the ground one by one, and blood flowed into the distance along the cracks of the stone slabs on the ground. But later people were completely unaware of what death was, and continued to charge forward, upward, and fearlessly.

Faced with a group of fearless Dingyuan soldiers, these soldiers of the Li army were still terrified, but they could bear it. After all, there were not many defenders in Liangzhou. However, when the people of Liangzhou City also joined this charge that was ready to die, the soldiers of the Li army were extremely terrified.

In terms of casualties in the battle at the city gate, the Western Turks must have an absolute advantage, but in terms of momentum, the defensive side completely suppressed the siege side!

Tongye Hu suddenly realized that he was wrong!

Originally, he had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty and had different connections, but was bewitched by Jie Li Khan and believed that the Tang Dynasty was a big fat pig. As long as he captured several cities in the Tang Dynasty, it would be enough for the Western Turks to have a fat year. The Tang Dynasty was very big, with a total of a thousand cities. The Tang Dynasty was very cowardly. Once the troops were threatened by the city and were intimidated, the Tang Dynasty would hand over the food, wealth, and women.

When Tongye Hu saw this scene, he was very sure. Jie Li Khan was playing with him as a monkey. If the people of the Tang Dynasty were cowardly, would there be brave people in the world?

Tongyehu hesitated: "Batur, was Ben Khan wrong?"

Shilifa Batuer shook his head and said, "Dear Khan, you may not have heard of a legend!"

Tong Ye Hu said in confusion: "What legend?"

"I am a Bharat. In the records of the Tang people, we Bharata actually have another name, called Dayuan!" Batur smiled bitterly: "About six or seven hundred years ago, the king of our Bharata did a big fool. He was bewitched by the Huns and killed the envoys of the Han Kingdom, which made the Han Emperor angry. So he sent 20,000 troops to attack our Bharata. As a result, you know, our Bharata was defeated, and our stupid king was killed by the Han people. He was not willing to die, but it was a pity for tens of thousands of elite soldiers in our Bharata. At that time, in order to support our Bharata against the Han Kingdom, the Kushan Kingdom, the Anxi Kingdom and the Huns, they all sent reinforcements, tens of thousands of people, but these tens of thousands of people still did not defeat their 20,000 people. Originally, I thought that the legend was just a legend, just a deception story, and I didn't expect it to be true!"

After all, Tongyehu was not Batuer. He knew better than Batuer. The Tang people were Han people four hundred years ago. When the Han Kingdom was present, all parts of the Huhu had to surrender to the Han people. They even made bold statements: "Whether the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, they are all ministers and concubines of the Han people."

This is the domineering of the Han people and the law of survival in the world where the strong prey on the weak.

Until now, he had vaguely felt that the man who had once made all tribes frightened and seemed to be coming back.

"One Han reaches the Five Barbarians!"

This reputation lingers on them like a nightmare. Since Emperor Wu of Han conquered the northern part of the Mobei region, they have suffered all the time and have almost lost the courage to fight face to face with the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, God has pity on them, causing the Han people to fall into internal struggles for more than three hundred years, and they have gradually gained the upper hand.

However, until today, Tongye Hu discovered that the Han people seemed to have returned. Even though their equipment was much better than before, this mentality could not be changed.

However, at this moment, Tongye Hu's eyes became extremely cold, and his whip pointed at Liangzhou City: "I don't want the food inside, I will kill them all for me, and I won't leave any of them!"

Yes, they must be killed. If every city resists desperately like these Tang warriors, will the Turks still have a way out? Even if they can win every battle, they will be so young and strong that they should die! Even if they are not sure what to do, they must kill all the Tang army that dares to resist desperately and destroy their courage that comes from nowhere!

As soon as the Khan opened his golden mouth, a large number of Western Turkic cavalry, Byzantine labor slaves, resting dead soldiers, and servants of all ethnic groups and countries dispersed everywhere.

As the sky was dawn, Greek fire, crossbows and other siege equipment slowly approached Liangzhou City.

The battle between the four cities' city gates has come to an end, and there is no way to fight it. The city gate hole is filled with corpses. The current situation is that the Western Turks cannot climb in, and the Liangzhou defenders cannot rush out either.

Li Daozong walked to the city gate tower with exhaustion. At this time, there was only an empty roof frame left in the city gate tower. After several burnings, all the burning on the city gate tower had already burned. However, when he saw countless Western Turkic troops preparing to attack the city, the Tang soldiers with crisscrossing wounds around Li Daozong changed their faces.

Li Daozong sighed.

The blood in Liangzhou has been drained, and the people of Liangzhou can no longer take out the blood and blood to replenish it. In this case, what else can he do?

Li Daozong smiled bitterly and said, "I passed the order of the general manager to give up the outer city completely, and all the soldiers and civilians entered the inner city. If you want Liangzhou, you can exchange your lives for your life!"

Just as the Western Turkic army was about to launch a full-scale attack, a fast cavalry suddenly rushed towards the direction of the royal tent of Tongye Hu Khan.

The heavy sound of horse hooves hit the heart of Tongye Hu Khan like a heavy hammer. Tongye Hu stood up subconsciously and looked at the fast rider.

There were fifty or sixty steps away from the king's tent. The fast horse suddenly had its front hooves softened and collapsed to the ground. The cavalry on the horse's back flew forward dozens of steps as if they had spread their wings. Fortunately, the knight was tenacious enough and struggled and moaned, "Report to Khan, Chen Ying is here!"

After saying these eight words, the knight tilted his head and collapsed to the ground.

No one doesn’t know the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and who Chen Ying is.

Especially the Turks.

When Tongye Hu heard this name, his body seemed to be frozen, and he had not come back to his senses for a long time.

"Khan, the army is ready. When will the attack be launched?"

Tongye Hu Khan was sure that once he launched an attack on Liangzhou City, Chen Ying could appear behind him at any time.

Tongye Hu Khan waved his hand and said, "Wait, come, send a scout to check where Chen Ying was and how many people were there!"

The scout only sent news that Chen Ying was about to arrive, but did not have time to tell him how many people Chen Ying had and how far away he was from Liangzhou, but he was exhausted.

Li Daozong stood alone on the west gate of Liangzhou City, looking at the Western Turkic army from afar. He was a little surprised, why didn't he attack? I'll prepare a big gift for you.
