The guard quickly loaded the crossbow gun on the crossbow machine. Li Yuanji aimed at a person who looked like he had an identity and said again, "Smash it!"
"Whoosh!"
The crossbow gun flew out.
A Turk with a curly beard who was supervising the battle was pierced by a crossbow.
Li Yuanji once again ordered the guards to load their crossbows.
Repeating this process, Li Yuanji shot five rounds.
Five people who looked like they had status were shot to death by Li Yuanji.
The Turks led by the five of them were obviously in chaos.
"Is there a sharpshooter?!"
Some Turks exclaimed.
"Shut up! That's not a marksman, that's a strongman!"
"Send someone to the tent to report quickly! Invite sharpshooters to help!"
"..."
Some panicked Turks thought Li Yuanji was a marksman.
But some people who are still clear-headed know clearly that there are strong men on top of the city.
A strong man who is far superior to a marksman.
After all, no marksman can use a crossbow to shoot arrows.
The matter was quickly reported to the tent of Tuli Khan, the young Khan of East Turkestan.
When Tuli Khan heard that there was a strongman on top of the city, he shot and killed the five small-headed men of the small tribe under his command. He immediately called on the sharpshooters and rushed to the battlefield.
However, when the sharpshooters arrived at the battlefield, they discovered that more than ten small-headed men from the small tribe had been shot dead by strong men in the Tang army.
He hurriedly found a favorable place, prepared to locate the strongman in the Tang army, and prepared to counterattack, but found that the strongman in the Tang army seemed to have moved to another place.
That place was where the Great Khan Jieli Khan's troops were attacking.
Where Jieli Khan's soldiers and horses were attacking, it was difficult for him, a member of Tuli Khan's men, to intervene.
Jieli Khan is the uncle of Tuli Khan, and he is very wary of Tuli Khan.
He could only watch silently as the strong men in the Tang army shot and killed the small-headed men from the small tribe under Jieli Khan.
Soon, Jieli Khan's people also panicked, and the strong men in the Tang army shot and killed ten small-headed men from the small tribe under Jieli Khan's command.
The commander of the army, Beik (a Turkic official name, equivalent to a county-level official in the Central Plains), quickly reported the matter to Jieli Khan.
Jieli Khan also sent out sharpshooters.
But the strong men in the Tang army changed places again, and went to the place where the troops of Liang Division, Dadu Pijia Khan, were attacking.
At this time, he quickly rushed to the battlefield, and the sharpshooters sent by Jieli Khan also rushed to the battlefield where the troops of Liang Division of Dadu Bijia Khan were located.
Master Liang was a khan canonized by the Turks, but few Turkic nobles really regarded him as a khan who could issue orders in the Turks.
Because all Turkic people know that he is a trouble-solving emperor.
The Han emperor who specialized in helping the Turks solve their troubles.
He can only control the Han people under his rule, but not others.
So no one is afraid of him, and no one cares whether they will offend him by breaking into the battlefield where his soldiers and horses are.
"Whoosh..."
Li Yuanji fired another crossbow and shot a guy wearing leather armor to death.
The guards around him were shocked and speechless by his series of operations. The ones who helped him load the crossbow and the ones who helped him bang the gavel were already shocked and numb by his operations, and they just kept obeying his orders.
command, repeating the same action.
Before this, no one thought that someone could use a crossbow as a hand crossbow, and no one believed that someone could use it to kill the enemy's leader like a pig.
Li Yuanji taught them a lesson today, letting them understand what it means to be strong.
"Your Highness?!"
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen didn't know when they had gathered around Li Yuanji. When Li Yuanji finished shooting the crossbow and loaded the crossbow, they hurriedly spoke.
Li Yuanji turned around and saw Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen standing up to him in shock.
Li Yuanji was the first to speak: "I have been hiding behind the crenel, you don't need to worry."
Xie Shufang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Now he no longer has time to worry about Li Yuanji's safety, he just wants to know what Li Yuanji is doing.
Li Zhongwen said with excitement: "Your Highness is so brave that I can't even match him!"
Li Yuanji had already killed more than twenty Turkic leaders, and the Turks' offensive had obviously relaxed a lot.
Xie Shufang, Li Zhongwen, and all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the city wall could all take this opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief.

After learning that a fierce man appeared in the army and killed one Turkic leader after another with a crossbow, Li Zhongwen and Xie Shufang couldn't believe their ears.
Both of them are veteran generals who have been in the military for many years. They are well aware of the difficulty of operating a crossbow, and they also know that it is impossible for a crossbow to shoot wherever you point on the battlefield.
If you want the crossbow to be able to shoot where you point it, you must be able to easily pull the string of the crossbow and move the position while holding the crossbow.
So far, they have never encountered such a ferocious person.
So when they heard that there was such a thug in the army, the two of them immediately sent people to track it down.
After finding out it was Li Yuanji, the two of them didn't know what to say.
They couldn't believe that there were such brutal people in the world.
I can't even believe that this tough guy is Li Yuanji.
But when they saw with their own eyes that Li Yuanji easily set up a crossbow and fired fiercely at the crenel, they didn't believe it.
"The Turks have a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses. Even if I injure even a few people, it won't affect the outcome of the battle."
Li Yuanji was still very sober and was not dazzled by Li Zhongwen's praise.
There are 200,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, and there are probably thousands of leaders, big and small.
Not to mention he shot more than 20 people, even if he shot more than 200 people, it would not be able to change the situation of the war.
Unless he can kill the Turkic Jieli Khan or Tuli Khan with one arrow.
The problem is that such characters usually stay in their own tents, and it is almost impossible to lead troops to kill them in person.
So he had no chance to kill these two Turkic Khans with one arrow.
"That's enough..."
Xie Shufang took a deep breath and said solemnly while trying to adapt to Li Yuanji's sudden turn into a ferocious man.
Tens of thousands of Turks frantically attacked Weize Pass.
If Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen wanted to block the Turks' fierce attack, they had to press all their troops at Weize Pass.
The Turks attacked continuously for several hours.
The soldiers and horses under their command held on for several hours.
During these few hours, there was almost no respite.
Some soldiers were seriously injured and had to walk down the city wall by themselves.
Those who can't leave can only stay where they are and wait.
Often by the time the people who save them arrive at their side, they are already dead.
Li Yuanji bought Weize Pass a breathing space, enough for Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen to send people to rescue those soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to move, and to redistribute their troops.
"Um……"
Li Yuanji just hummed and prepared to cum again.
Since it works, then continue.
Xie Shufang shouted loudly, "Your Highness!"
Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang suspiciously.
Xie Shufang said seriously: "I'm afraid the Turkic sharpshooters have already targeted your highness. Please take a rest."
Li Yuanji frowned slightly when he heard Xie Shufang mentioning the Turkic marksman.
The Turks' sharpshooters are quite capable.
He was a man who could shoot an eagle on the grassland. It would be easy for him to shoot someone with a bigger target on the battlefield.
Xie Shufang had received an arrow earlier, which was shot by a Turkic sharpshooter.
Li Yuanji pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to nod, he saw an arrow suddenly fly into the crenel.
However, his accuracy was not good enough, so he was far away from Li Yuanji and fell behind Li Yuanji.
But even so, everyone present was still shocked.
"marksman?!"
One of the guards stared and shouted.
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen asked Li Yuanji to leave the crenel while shaking their heads slightly.
"It's probably not a marksman. The marksman's accuracy isn't that bad."
Li Zhongwen said solemnly.
With the ability of a sharpshooter, once he sets his sights on a target, even if he cannot kill the target with one arrow, he will still injure the target. He will never shoot such an arrow that cannot even be touched by a person.
Li Yuanji nodded in agreement.
Although he has never seen a sharpshooter, his predecessor had seen one, and his archery skills were not bad, so he knew the abilities of a sharpshooter very well.
Since the Turks sent sharpshooters to keep an eye on him, there was no need for him to take any more risks.
"I'll find a place to rest for a while. If I need help later, just send someone to find me."
Li Yuanji said to Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen.
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen both bowed and agreed.
"Su Dingfang has broken through Liu Heitai's camp in the pass. Liu Heitai has escaped, and Su Dingfang led people to chase him. You don't have to worry about anything going wrong behind the scenes. You can deal with the Turks with confidence."
Xie Shufang was just busy dealing with the Turks. Before Li Yuanji could tell Xie Shufang the news, Xie Shufang left.
Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally have to tell Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen as soon as possible to reassure them.
Although Li Zhongwen made some mistakes, he performed admirably when guarding the gate.
He can temporarily ignore Li Zhongwen's previous mistakes.
When Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen heard what Li Yuanji said, their eyes widened.
"Your Highness is saying that Su Dingfang has defeated Liu Heitai?"
Xie Shufang asked in disbelief.
Li Yuanji glanced at Xie Shufang and said, "If he hadn't defeated Liu Heita, I wouldn't be here."
He was responsible for supporting Su Dingfang.
If Su Dingfang had not defeated Liu Heita, how could he have left the pass?
Li Zhongwen accepted this fact faster than Xie Shufang. He smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Su Tongjun was so brave."
Li Yuanji nodded and was about to speak.
There was a shout from the top of the city.
"The Turks are going to use trebuchets again! Dodge quickly!"
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen looked tense.
Li Yuanji immediately said: "You go where you should go, I will hide in the dark and wait for you to send someone to find me."
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen nodded quickly and left in a hurry before they could say anything.
Li Yuanji suppressed a wave of Turkic attacks by shooting the small Turkic leaders, giving the Tang soldiers a breathing space.
But the Turks obviously did not want to give the Tang soldiers a chance to breathe.
While the Turks ordered the Turkic troops in front to retreat and reassigned their leaders, they also let the trebuchets start a new round of attack on Weize Pass.
