The sky above the grassland was clear and the wind was gentle. A large army slowly came to a stop near the Jinwei Governor's Mansion. Several generals mounted their horses and stepped forward to observe. The leader was none other than Qin Huaidao.
The Jinwei Governor's Mansion was quiet. The city walls were full of Turkic soldiers, looking out at each other. Many of them had their bows and arrows drawn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The city of the Tang Dynasty was now in the hands of the Turks. No one could accept it. He was holding fire in his heart. Qin Huaidao looked at it carefully for a moment and was not in a hurry to attack. He said indifferently: "The cavalry will give up riding and defend the city instead. Will they?"
"Hahaha." The crowd laughed knowingly.
"General, I am willing to take the lead." Fang Yiai rushed to say.
Qin Huaidao glanced at the other party. It is a good thing to be brave and belligerent, but siege is not a night battle. It cannot rely on blood and blood, but also has to have brains. He asked: "How does General Fang plan to fight?"
"The city is only two feet high. We brought a ladder and we can go up with a single charge." Fang Yiai said nonchalantly, full of fighting spirit.
A reckless man is a reckless man. He can use his fists but not his brain. Qin Huaidao complained in his heart and looked at Su Dingfang: "If it were you, how would you fight?"
Su Dingfang didn't expect that he had something to do with himself. He suddenly became excited and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Come back to the general, if you are the last general, you should surround three people without one, which will shake the morale of his army. The three groups of soldiers and horses will attack regardless of the main attack or the auxiliary attack."
, try to strike down with one blow and force the Turks to escape through the other gate. When attacking, use half of the troops to suppress the city with crossbows, and the other half use swords and shields to climb up, seize the city, open the gate, and let other armies enter. "
"In my opinion, it is better to concentrate our forces to attack one place, which will help suppress the enemy at the top of the city." Li Yixie suggested.
Everyone had different opinions and did not argue. They looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Concentrating in one place can certainly ensure the density of the crossbows and suppress the enemy at the top of the city, but the enemy can also calmly deploy troops to compete with us, which is not advisable. Attacking in three gates is different, as it can spread the enemy's strength thinly.
, with the output speed of the continuous crossbow, it can also be suppressed, and it can also cause panic to the enemy and make him escape through the other door."
Everyone was a little envious when they heard Qin Huaidao's suggestion to choose Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang did not expect that Qin Huaidao would agree with his proposal. He was overjoyed and said quickly: "General, I am willing to lead troops to attack the North Gate."
Attacking the North Gate means cutting off the Turks' return route. Qin Huaidao asked: "Which gate do you recommend letting them escape?"
"The last general recommends the south gate. The south is the territory of our Tang Kingdom. Once the Turks go south, they will be alone and will definitely die." Su Dingfang solemnly suggested.
Qin Huaidao didn't think so. For the Turks, going south was indeed seeking death. But it was normal at that time, but it was different now. The Shanyu Protectorate in the south had rebelled. Once the Turks surrendered, the situation would be even more chaotic. What's more, if they can win it alone, they won't be able to defeat it alone.
If you have less food and clothing, you will definitely rob the people.
The next moment, Qinghuai's face darkened and he said: "Let go of the north gate and let the Turks run away. The Turks want to return to their hometown on the grassland in the north. Once the offensive is fierce, for example, if the army's morale is shaken and they are eager to leave, our army's attack will be smoother. If we go north,
There is a river about fifty miles away, Cheng Chubi."
"The end will be here!" Cheng Chubi said, cupping his hands.
"Lead your troops across the river, look for favorable terrain to ambush, and wait for the Turkic deserters to attack when they are halfway across. No one will be left behind."
"Follow the order!" Cheng Chubi was overjoyed. This was a great achievement, and he was overjoyed.
Everyone was not envious. The siege was also a great achievement. Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao eagerly for fear of missing. Qin Huaidao glanced at everyone and said: "Fang Yiai attacked the east gate, Cheng Chuliang attacked the west gate, Li Yixie attacked the north gate, and the remaining army
Stay where you are, once the city gate is opened, rush in, go straight to the Governor's Mansion, give you half an hour to prepare, and after half an hour the war drums will sound, and we will attack the city at the same time."
"Follow the order!" the crowd shouted loudly.
The troops took action quickly and rushed to their respective positions.
Qin Huaidao led the troops of Yuchi Baoqi and Su Dingfang to stay put. The soldiers took out the dried meat and ate it to replenish their strength and prepare for the battle.
Su Dingfang was a little disappointed when he didn't receive the task. Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Su Dingfang, you have contributed a lot with your advice. If we win in one battle, you will be the first to win. We must give everyone some opportunities to make contributions. Once the city is defeated, if you can capture the Governor's Mansion, it will be the first time."
A great achievement."
"That's not necessarily true, the Governor's Mansion belongs to me." Yuchi Baoqi also held back a breath.
"Then let's compete and see who is faster." Su Dingfang was not willing to be outdone.
"Let's compete, I'm afraid of you." Yuchi Baoqi was full of pride.
When Qin Huaidao saw the two fighting, it was true that it was better to provoke the general than to invite him, so he did not stop him. Proper competition in the army was a good thing. If the army was harmonious and everyone was humble, there was no way to fight, so he took out the braised pork jerky and started chewing it.
After eating and drinking, the soldiers rested on their horses and waited patiently.
The breeze blew, mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers, refreshing the heart and mind. Qin Huaidao looked at the vast grassland, with the undulating green grass like waves. It was a unique scene. It would be great if there was no war.
Time passed slowly, and the soldiers remained motionless, silent and silent.
After a while, Qin Huaidao estimated that it was almost done. He suddenly opened his sleepy eyes and shouted: "Push forward, prepare to fight."
"Advance!" Su Dingfang shouted.
The army advanced slowly in orderly formation, and when it came to a stop two miles away from the city, Fang Yiai, who was in charge of the attack, led the troops forward, and stopped within a stone's throw of the army, and began to deploy.
The wind got stronger and the flags on the city wall crackled. Qin Huaidao looked up at the sky. It didn't look like it was raining. He waited a moment and saw that Fang Yiai was almost ready. He estimated that the other two gates were also in place and looked at Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang understood and made a gesture to the back.
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of war drums shook the world and spread far and wide.
"kill--"
Fang Yiai Ma Shan pointed forward and let out a roar.
A group of people rushed forward, each holding a double shield to cover a man holding a crossbow.
Not to be outdone, the Turkic army began to fire arrows. In an instant, arrows rained down, hitting the shield with a thumping sound, and the shield turned into a hedgehog. However, the people behind the shield continued to advance, fearless of death, and stopped after they reached the range of the repeating crossbow.
Next, put up a shield to cover, and use the small space behind to counterattack.
For a moment, the crossbow arrows rushed forward like countless flying snakes, biting the Turkic soldiers on the wall. Many of them fell down and let out shrill screams.
The output speed of the crossbow arrows was too fast. After a few rounds of attacks, the Turkic soldiers on the city wall were suppressed. It was like a machine that did not know how to stop and continued to shoot, beating the Turkic soldiers so that they did not dare to show their heads easily.
A group of soldiers took the opportunity to rush up with the ladder, quickly set it up, and quickly climbed up with their shields as cover. There were continuous crossbows to suppress the Turks. Everyone climbed smoothly and quickly climbed up.
Fang Yiai saw it clearly and shouted: "Stop shooting."
The crossbows stopped, and the soldiers swarmed up and fought with the Turkic soldiers on the city wall. When the other soldiers saw the ones in front of them attacking, their morale was boosted, and they climbed up quickly.
Fang Yiai also rushed up, pulled aside a soldier who was trying to go up, and climbed up quickly. The boss with a pair of tiger-like eyes stared at the city wall, with fierce lights, like a man-eating beast.
Soon, Fang Yiai also climbed up the city wall, jumped down, and swept a large area with his horse, buzzing, and shouted: "Come with me, kill and open the city gate."
"Obey the order!" the soldiers shouted, following behind Fang Yiai, slashing and killing.
Outside the city, Qin Huaidao saw that the crossbowmen and swordsmen were cooperating tacitly, and Fang Yiai also rushed to the city and laughed. This guy was a bit reckless, but he was still careful in fighting. This kind of person is naturally suitable for the battlefield.
Next to him, Su Dingfang watched this scene with excitement and eagerness to try. He couldn't help but said: "The general is wise. These Turks are really not good at defending the city. They only know how to use bows and arrows. Once they are suppressed, there is no other way. Give up the leader and use the shorthand. It's simply
court death."
"My general saw that you were eager to rush in." Qin Huaidao said with a smile. When he saw the gate suddenly opened, he was so happy that he was so happy that he said with a smile: "The city gate has been opened. Go ahead and don't worry about me."
"Your team stays behind to protect the general." Su Dingfang looked at a team leader, waited for him to nod, and then shouted: "Brothers, go in and eat the meat, don't let the friendly forces take away all the benefits."
"Kill!" the crowd roared, beating their horses and rushing forward.
Not to be outdone, Yuchi Baolin shouted: "Brothers, someone wants to take our credit, can you agree?"
"No!" Thousands of people roared, their morale skyrocketing.
"Then what are you waiting for? Damn it." Yuchi Baoqi roared, and rushed forward on his horse.
When the soldiers saw how ferocious their leader was, they were immediately stimulated. They picked up their crossbows one by one and chased after him with howling, their eyes were wild and murderous.
