Chapter 713: Loud and Earth-shaking (Fifth update, asking for diamonds)
In Dingxiang City, before dawn, smoke was burning in the city.
Today is the day to raid the Turkic camp. We discussed it for half a day yesterday and finally decided on a plan.
With Cheng Yaojin as the vanguard and Li Ji as the deputy general, they led 30,000 troops to call for formation!
Calling the formation is a lie, but throwing wooden lumps into the camp is true. The reason why Li Ji was assigned as deputy general was because he had used this object in the battle in the canyon and knew a lot about it.
Of course, the most suitable candidate for this position is Luo Zhang. However, Luo Zhang is already very good at making suggestions. Besides, His Majesty also said hello before leaving, and Luo Zhang will try not to fight as much as possible!
With such care and the fact that Luo Zhang did not want to fight, the task finally fell on Li Ji.
Li Ji had no objection to this. This was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Others couldn't get it even if they wanted it. Didn't you see that Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde almost came to blows over the vanguard position?
At 4 o'clock and 10 o'clock, the army is waiting for danger!
The Dingxiang city gate slowly opened. Cheng Yaojin, wearing heavy armor and holding a giant ax, rushed out of the city gate first, followed closely by a group of soldiers!
A torrent of 30,000 people rushed towards the Turkic camp like a tidal wave.
This was just the vanguard. The east gate and west gate were also opened at the same time. Two left and right armies led by Yuchi Jingde and Hou Junji also rushed out of the city and attacked the east and west sides of the Turkic camp.
Not long after Cheng Yaojin's vanguard left, the supporting army led by Niu Jinda followed closely and came out of the city.
The four-pronged army totaled 200,000 people, equivalent to most of the troops in the city. At this time, there were only 50,000 border troops left in the city, as well as 30,000 soldiers brought by Li Jing from Chang'an, and 20,000 injured and injured.
.
In this battle, Li Jing was determined to fight it out and decide the outcome with the Turks. There was no time left for him to wait any longer. Since he could no longer wait, he took the initiative to attack.
With the strategy given by Luo Zhang, Li Jing believed that he would defeat the Turks.
Among the large army on the right, Changsun rushed forward with his helmet and armor on his head and led an army to follow the army closely.
He was not in a good mood at this time. Last night, Sun Hong, the retainer who went to the Turkic camp, came back, but he did not bring him any good news.
When he heard that Chang Sunhong said that the Turkic King asked for wooden knots, and without wooden knots there would be no five-step snakes in the Western Regions, Changsun Chong became furious. If his thirteenth uncle hadn't said that he would solve the matter, Changsun Chong would have really wanted to rush to the Turkic King's village.
Ask him to reason with you, you must know that he is taking huge risks in providing this information, but the Turkic King still feels that it is not enough, he is really greedy.
Are wooden bumps so easy to make? If it were so easy, he wouldn't have known about it until now. This thing has been hidden and tucked away, which shows its importance. Let him make wooden bumps. It's a shame that the Turkic King figured it out.
.
Although he followed the army, Changsun Chong's heart was not here. From time to time, he would look back. Uncle Thirteen said he would solve the matter, but until now, there was no result, which made him a little worried.
According to what Uncle Thirteen said, if the army attacks, the city must be weakly defended. He will definitely get twice the result with half the effort by leading people to snatch the wooden lumps. However, if he fails, it will be even more difficult to get the wooden lumps next time.
In the Turkic camp, the Turkic cavalry were also on alert. Groups of people and horses ran out of the camp and headed towards the mountain behind it. However, there were only a few people left in the camp. As for the Turkic king, he had already
Left here.
This place will become the main battlefield of the war, so how can he stay here as a living target?
Just when it was getting light, Cheng Yaojin finally arrived here with the vanguard army. Looking at the Turkic camp not far ahead, Li Ji waved his hand.
Afterwards, a series of catapults were rolled out. The function of these catapults was not to throw stones, but to throw wooden lumps. This was the strategy given by Luo Zhang, and after discussion among the generals, they all felt that it was feasible.
.
As long as the distance is calculated and the lead of the wooden knot is extended, it can explode after being thrown into the Turkic camp.
In this regard, Li Jingna greatly praised this plan. Once Muquda succeeds, I believe that the Turkic King will definitely not be able to stay in the camp and will come out to fight him!
In the Turkic camp, when the remaining Turks saw the arrival of the Tang army, they did not panic much. They boarded the archery tower one by one, picked up their long bows, and shot at the Tang army. However, because the distance was too far, their arrows could not reach it.
Shot at the Tang army.
Cheng Yaojin was not surprised by this. Every time they came to harass and call for battle, the Turks would do this, but today it was different.
Looking at the catapult being pushed out and set up behind him, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Commander Cheng, everything is ready, do you want to throw it?" Li Ji arranged everything, came to Cheng Yaojin and asked.
"Of course, let the Turks have a taste of the power of this wooden lump today. Just from what you said, I have never seen the power of this thing. Let me open my eyes today!" Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
.
"Hahaha, I won't disappoint you. You will see the Turks jumping around in a hurry!" Li Ji also laughed.
At his order, catapults threw bundles of lit wooden lumps towards the Turkic camp.
The wooden knot crossed an arc and finally landed in the Turkic camp.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A loud bang exploded in the Turkic camp, and the earth was shaking. Those Turks who were left in the camp suddenly became confused. They were like headless flies, and they were in chaos in the camp.
Channel.
When the Turkic King left, he did not tell these people what would happen to them. If he had told them, no one would stay, and most of those left behind were old, weak and remnant soldiers, the so-called abandoned sons.
Gun smoke filled the air, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, all of which were caused by the wood bumps.
Hearing the loud noise and feeling the tremor of the earth, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but be shocked even though he had been prepared for it.
Not only Cheng Yaojin, but also Li Ji, who had seen its power, was also shocked. The wooden lumps used in the last battle in the canyon were not that many, and they were not bundled together and thrown. The power was naturally incomparable.
In the battle of the mountains behind the Turkic camp, the Turkic king was originally sitting on a huge armchair enjoying the service of his maid, but after a shocking loud noise, the Turkic king almost fell off the chair.
Surprised and uncertain, he dismissed the maid and hurriedly called his subordinates to find out what happened. The answer he got was that the Turkic camp was attacked by the Tang army.
Hearing these words, the Turkic king's eyes sparkled with unprecedented light.
"I didn't expect that wooden knot to be so powerful. If Changsun Wuji hadn't come to report this time, I might have been in trouble. I must get this thing!" After muttering to himself, the Turkic King clenched his fists tightly.
Chapter completed!
