Li Yuanji and his guards had just found a relatively safe place and propped up their shields, when boulders fell like raindrops.
The boulders roared with a roar.
It fell on the ground, and a hole was made in the ground; it fell on the crenel, and a corner of the crenel was instantly smashed, and the gravel was scattered everywhere; it fell on the ordnance, and the ordnance was smashed into pieces; it fell on people.
The body can only be described as horrific.
"Damn Master Liang..."
When some guards saw the soldiers on the city wall being beaten horribly by the Turks, they cursed loudly.
Although the other guards did not speak, they fully agreed with what the guards said.
The Turks are actually not good at forging a series of large ordnance such as trebuchets, large crossbows, and siege chisels. The Turks rarely use a series of large ordnance such as trebuchets in combat, so the Turks do not have many in their hands.
trebuchets and a series of large ordnance.
The Turks were better at riding on horseback, bending their bows and nocking arrows, and chasing the enemy.
The reason why the Turks had so many trebuchets to throw stones at Weize Pass must have been provided by the Turks' troublemaker, Emperor Liang Shidu.
The Turks are not good at forging a series of large ordnance such as trebuchets, nor are they good at using a series of large ordnances such as trebuchets, but Master Liang is good at both.
"When our Tang soldiers and horses attack Shuofang, we must chop off Liang Shidu's dog's head to pay homage to the souls of our Tang soldiers."
A guard cursed in a low voice after a huge boulder fell not far from his feet and exploded.
Li Yuanji didn't say a word from beginning to end, just looking through the edge of the shield at the huge rocks whizzing down from the sky.
This time the Turks dropped five rounds of boulders.
After five rounds of boulders, there were three more rounds of arrow rain.
After three rounds of arrow rain fell, the Turks began to charge towards Weize Pass again.
The city wall of Weizeguan was riddled with holes everywhere, and arrows with the unique style of the Turks were missing and fell everywhere.
All the buildings in Weize Pass are no longer visible.
The buildings that the Turks took special care of were either smashed into ruins or turned into hedgehogs wrapped in missing arrows.
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen were injured and ran around the city wall, calling on the uninjured or slightly injured soldiers to form an effective defense as soon as possible to resist the Turks' attack.
Those who were seriously injured and could still walk helped each other to walk to the bottom of the city wall, while those who could not walk could only lie there and wait for help.
However, there were only a pitiful number of rescuers, and many seriously injured soldiers were unable to receive timely treatment.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji ordered the guards beside him, "Go alone to the battlefield in the pass and tell the soldiers of the Tongjun Mansion to end the battle as soon as possible and rush here to help.
Another person went and sent an order to the magistrates of the surrounding counties, asking them to recruit a group of civilians to set up a camp three miles inside the pass to gather the seriously injured soldiers.
The remaining people rushed to various parts of the city wall to help rescue the seriously injured soldiers."
The number of Turks was huge, and the number of soldiers in Weize Pass was limited. We had already tried our best to resist the Turks, and there was no spare time to rescue those seriously injured soldiers.
It would be unrealistic to allocate some manpower from among them to rescue seriously injured soldiers.
All of them were fighting against the Turks, and no one had any time to spare.
Deploying some manpower from among them means weakening the power to resist the Turks.
It is better to recruit a group of civilians from nearby counties, which can not only help rescue the seriously injured soldiers, but also let the civilians wear armor and stomach when necessary to help the soldiers defend the city.
When the guards heard Li Yuanji's words, they looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to move.
Li Yuanji looked around them and said again: "Don't worry, I will hide in a safe place. I will never show my face unless absolutely necessary."
In this regard, Li Yuanji still has some credibility.
Li Yuanji made a promise, and after the guards looked at each other again, they bowed and agreed.
One guard rushed to the battlefield in the pass to convey Li Yuanji's order, one guard rode a horse and rushed to several counties near Weize Pass, and the remaining guards rushed to various parts of the city wall.
There were a lot of guards, and with their joining, some seriously injured soldiers were quickly carried off the city wall and treated by the doctors accompanying the army.
Li Yuanji watched the guards rescuing the seriously injured soldiers while paying attention to the fighting on the city wall.
After the Turks launched another attack on Weze Pass, their offensive became more rapid and more elaborate.
Some clearly identifiable Turks rode fast horses to a location very close to Weize Pass.
However, they were not scattered everywhere outside Weize Pass like before, but were faintly gathered in three places.
Li Yuanji just glanced at them a few times, then stopped paying attention to them and made no further moves.
If they were scattered everywhere outside Weize Pass like before, he might still take action. They gathered together obviously to lure him into taking the bait, so how could he take action.
If his guess was correct, there must be Turkic sharpshooters ambushing them wherever the Turks with status gathered.
As long as he shows his head and shoots those Turks with status, the Turks' sharpshooters will definitely take action against him.
The Turkic sharpshooter uses special arrows, which have the power to crack rocks and pierce armor. Even if he wears hard armor with strong defense, he may not be able to block the arrows he deals with.
In this case, how could he take action again? He doesn't like to seek abuse.
"Your Highness!"
When the new round of Turkic offensive lasted for about an hour, the officers and soldiers of the Tongjunfu who went to the pass to conquer Liu Heita all appeared on the top of the city.
The two captains at the head of the school stepped forward to salute Li Yuanji.
"Hu Cheng, the captain of the first school of the Ertong Military Mansion of the left..."
"Shen Wu, the captain of the third school of the Zuo Santong Military Mansion..."
"See Your Highness."
After the captains named Hu Cheng and Shen Wu saluted together, Hu Cheng took a step back slightly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shen Wu clasped his fists and said: "I was ordered to raid Liu Heitao's temporary camp. Now Liu Heitao's temporary camp has been captured, and the formation has killed 560 people.
Level 2, captured more than 2,000 people.
Liu Heitai led the remaining troops to escape from the camp at the moment when his ministers were waiting to break the camp.
Su Tongjun led fifty cavalry to pursue him.
The remaining soldiers and horses are now escorting a number of prisoners and escorting a number of heads back to camp. I have come here specifically to report to His Highness and ask for His Majesty's instructions."
Li Yuanji nodded and said with some emotion: "It was originally agreed that when you break through Liu Heitai's temporary camp, I will celebrate your success.
But now that the Turks are coming fiercely and Weize Pass is in danger, it is not the time to celebrate.
So I can only wait until the Turks retreat before I can celebrate your victory."
Shen Wu said with a solemn face: "I am a newcomer to the throne. I have received His Highness's kindness and trust and entrusted you with important responsibilities. I am already extremely grateful. How can I dare to celebrate."
Li Yuanji put away the sigh on his face, stared at Shen Wu and said seriously: "The moment you joined the Tongjun Mansion in my house, you were already soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Don’t talk about new descendants in the future.”
Whether they followed Su Dingfang out of the pass to raid Liu Heitai, or those who stayed in the pass to help Xie Shufang guard the pass, the soldiers of the Zuo Santong Military Mansion all proved their loyalty with their bravery.
Therefore, the officers and men of Zuo Santong Military Mansion have gained his recognition and won his respect.
Shen Wu felt Li Yuanji's recognition, and felt a little emotional and excited.
"I obey your orders..."
Li Yuanji added: "Everyone in the Tongjun Mansion, if anyone dares to look down on you because of your background, just beat them up. If they don't accept it, I will support you."
Shen Wu suddenly straightened his back and said loudly, "Here!"
Although Li Yuanji did not have time to celebrate his victory with his surrendered troops and generals, but with Li Yuanji's words, even if Li Yuanji did not celebrate their victory, their hearts were warm.
Li Yuanji's words mean that he and the surrendered soldiers and generals under his command will be completely members of the Tang Dynasty from now on. They are no different from the people in the Left and Left Tongjunfu. No one can blame them because of their past backgrounds.
Despise them.
"I will truthfully record your achievements in the book. After this war is over, I will personally celebrate your achievements and reward you for your merits."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Shen Wu bent down deeply and thanked Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji nodded and ordered: "Now, take the soldiers under your command and rush to the city wall for reinforcements. The specific area to be guarded will be at Uncle Xie's disposal."
"Here!"
Shen Wu agreed without hesitation.
Li Yuanji looked at Hu Cheng again, "The same goes for the soldiers of the Zuo Ertong Army Mansion."
Hu Cheng quickly bowed and agreed, "Here."
Li Yuanji waved his hand, and Hu Cheng and Shen Wu walked down the city wall together.
When they got together, they didn't seem to have any signs of resentment towards each other. It can be seen that the soldiers of the Zuo Second Tong Army and the soldiers of the Zuo Third Tong Army cooperated well during the raid on Liu Heitai's temporary camp.
.
They have begun to gradually accept each other, and some of them have even developed friendships.
Such as Hu Cheng and Shen Wu.
Although Hu Cheng and Shen Wu were both captains of the Tongjun Mansion, their positions were the same.
However, Hu Cheng joined Tongjunfu earlier than Shen Wu, and Hu Cheng has more seniority than Shen Wu.
According to some unwritten rules in the military, it was Hu Cheng, not Shen Wu, who had just reported the results within the Pass.
Hu Cheng specifically gave this opportunity to Shen Wu just to show Shen Wu's face.
Not long after Hu Cheng and Shen Wu got off the city wall, they led the soldiers from the Second Left and Third Army Command to catch up to the city wall.
After Xie Shufang learned that they were coming for rescue, he immediately arranged them to some important places.
Especially the officers and men of the Second Left Army Command, because all of them are equipped with iron armor, they can play a greater role.
