The fire lit up the sky, and the battlefield fell into deathly silence...!
Guo Xiaoke stood at the top and was covered in dust. No one knew what he was thinking when he was dying. Whether he was worried about the war situation or about his wife and children, no one knows now.
Zhang Tingyue did not put the old brother down from the top of the city. He planned to leave with the old brother later, so he shouted loudly and asked everyone to return to their place of stay.
The cook took out all the food. At this time, there was no need to store food. The soldiers were sorting out their broken armors, not because they were worried about being injured, but because they wanted to kill more enemies.
After the fierce battle just now, the consumption of weapons was astonishing. All the eight cow crossbows have been loaded with the last round of crossbow guns. Now if you want to fight, you can only rely on your own sword and a few gunpowder bullets.
.
The soldiers who did not have crossbows dismantled their crossbows into parts and threw them into the fire. The unused Baniu crossbows were also thrown into the fire. They even threw the body of Paoze who died in the battle into the fire, because those poor Turks
People will strip away their armor.
Zhang Tingyue untied his armor, took off his silk underwear, and covered Guo Xiaoke's head. Just now he saw soot entering his old friend's wide-open eyes.
Silk underwear was used to protect against arrows, but it is of little use now.
Listening to the sound of fighting near Dongshan, Zhang Tingyue shook his head in pain and said to the Wuli Sima beside him: "Blow the trumpet and leave in silence. The fighting now has no effect at all. It only hurts the soldiers. They will have to stop them in the future."
If the Turks advance eastward, they cannot afford casualties."
Wuli Sima nodded, and a subordinate with a bull horn stood up and blew the horn.
Cheng Chumo, who was fighting fiercely, heard the sound of the horn and shouted angrily: "Let's go!" He killed a Turkic man who wanted to attack with his sword. The horse neighed and turned around, leading his men again.
Run towards the dark place.
Tu Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the battle situation had stabilized. Yun Ye's army was already thirty miles away. As long as he got rid of Guo Xiaoke's remnants, he could fight Yun Ye with peace of mind, whether he divided his troops and marched eastward or
He could bypass the very slow Tuocheng with ease. Ever since the three thousand gold wolf cavalry were wiped out, he no longer wanted to fight against Tuocheng.
As long as the fire in the back city is extinguished, the Tang army will be destroyed. When he thinks that he has lost more than 60,000 elite subordinates under Qiuci City, Tu Shi's heart hurts like a knife.
They are all his own clansmen. Tu Shi hardly dares to close his eyes. As soon as he closes his eyes, those clansmen struggling in the rain of arrows and fire will appear in his mind. Only the last blow is left. After completing this blow...
The door to the south road will open to you.
The leaders of the various tribes around him also had different expressions. Xue Yantuo's Fu Qian almost did not dare to meet Tu Shi's eyes. He was very worried that Tu Shi would send his tribe to attack these Tang people who were already determined to die. Although it was the last battle,
But the resistance received is definitely something that my tribe cannot bear.
Tu Shi glanced across everyone's face and found that everyone was unwilling to accept this so-called final glory. He smiled bitterly and said: "We planned the Eastern Expedition. We provoked the whole world to attack the Tang Dynasty. At this time
Do you think we still have a way out? Only by gritting our teeth, continuing to advance, and burning the flames of war to the mainland of the Tang Kingdom can we truly make the arrogant monarch of the Tang Kingdom lower his head and admit that our homeland is ours.
I know that you have heard some news. I know that some people have brazenly started the Western Expedition and are attacking Sha Zha and Xiao Bolu. These short-sighted and despicable villains will definitely destroy their souls when I return from the victory.
.
Now, there are less than two thousand people in this dilapidated city who are still struggling to their death. As long as we work together, we can wipe out this community in a stick of incense. I, the Turkic tribe, will send three thousand troops. What do you think?"
Fu Qian and others saw that Tu Shi did not let any of his own clan serve as siege soldiers, so they felt relieved. You and I had a thousand to collect enough for 7,000 slain soldiers. Seeing that the fire gradually became smaller, seven thousand soldiers were killed.
The dead man once again summoned up his courage and slowly pushed towards the city wall.
"I can't survive. I just regret why I pretended to be a good boy when I was in Chang'an. The young lady of the Liang family had already shown mercy to me. I should have gone to her boudoir in the middle of the night." Chen Shu prepared the crossbow and said to his side.
Guo Ping said so.
"It's a good thing I didn't go, otherwise your father would have locked you under the roof to dry and wait for the New Year. Would he have given you a chance to regret it?" Guo Ping still looked calm and seemed indifferent to his father's death.
"What do you know? The Liang family built the young lady's boudoir in the backyard, facing the attic of my house. I have watched her bathing since I was a child, no less than thirty or fifty times. The young lady of the Liang family knows this, and often deliberately
Don’t close the window, tsk tsk, that fine skin and tender flesh can definitely withstand the rubbing.”
Chen Shu subconsciously squeezed his hand as if the body of the Liang family's young lady was in the middle of his hand.!
"It's over now. Brother, I have a big gash on my face. I won't be able to see you as a human being when I go back. It's also impossible for my father to propose marriage."
Guo Ping helplessly patted Chen Shu on the shoulder and said, "You are overthinking. Men like Duke E and Duke Yi can get wives. Why can't you find a good wife?"
After saying this, both of them were stunned. Chen Shu hit his head hard twice and said with tears in his eyes: "You have to survive to make it possible!"
"It's just one day away. If the city wall doesn't collapse, we can survive if we hold on for one more day. If the damn God doesn't give us a chance to survive, then let's die together."
Chen Shu wiped away his tears with great embarrassment, lowered his head and rearranged his armor as a cover-up.
The fire was finally extinguished, and a streak of fish belly white appeared on the horizon. Zhang Tingyue finally put Guo Xiaoke's body down and whispered to him: "It's still daylight. Why do I suddenly feel relaxed? Damn it, it looks like I'm going to die."
."
He took off his red cloak and covered Guo Xiaoke's body. He brought a jar of kerosene and poured it on Guo Xiaoke's body. Then he threw a handful of fire and hurriedly walked to the city wall and said to Wuli Sima: "
If I die in the battle and you are still alive, remember to burn me on fire too."
Sima Wuli opened his mouth and laughed and said: "It is the humble duty to open the way for the general."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and all the bad things they had done in the military disappeared.
"Mark level three, gunpowder crossbow ready! Three hundred steps, shoot!" The captain put down the telescope in his hand and waved the flag in his hand.
The familiar buzzing sound of the Baniu Crossbow sounded, and the crossbow fired out like lightning again. As before, the Baniu Crossbow never disappoints, accurately sending the crossbow to the enemy group, penetrating and then exploding.
ring…···
When the school captain shouted again: "Elevation one, prepare the kerosene crossbow! One hundred steps! Shoot!"
Following his voice, only a dozen or so crossbows were fired sparsely, and the remaining eight cow crossbows were silent again.
Since the Tang army was equipped with eight-oxen crossbows on a large scale, Turkic nobles no longer led troops into battle because they were the best crossbow arrow attractors on the battlefield.
The Turks who rushed into the battle were stunned for a moment when they saw the sparse kerosene crossbows, and then cheered: "The Tang people have no crossbows."
The whole team sped up and rushed towards the city with a loud bang. The Turks were afraid of anyone coming in a short-bladed fight.
Chen Shu moved his crossbow mechanically, not knowing where his crossbow arrows had flown, or which enemy he had killed. The enemies carrying ladders roared forward, asking him to
It feels like I am the only one in the world facing the impact of thousands of troops.
A loud noise woke him up from his trance, and he saw Guo Ping throwing gunpowder bombs into the crowd. Just as he lit the fire, an arrow shot through his shoulder, and the gunpowder bombs fell on the city wall with sparks everywhere.
scroll.
A big foot kicked out the gunpowder bomb in one go. Only then did Chen Shu realize that Zhang Tingyue had suddenly arrived on his side. In an instant, the two city walls had been lost. The Westerners in leather armor roared and waved steel knives.
Rush along the city wall.
After shooting nine crossbow arrows in one breath, Chen Shu felt that his two arms no longer had the strength to pull the crossbow string. He threw away the crossbow and looked at the surging crowd at his feet. He gritted his teeth and pulled the belt containing the gunpowder bullets.
After untying it and lighting all the fuses on it, he threw it off the city wall. No explosion of gunpowder bombs could be heard. His helmet was hit by two arrows in succession. Although they were both ejected from the helmet, there seemed to be something in his ears.
A big bell was roaring, but nothing could be heard.
Guo Ping was lying on the ground, his body covered with white feather arrows, as if his back was covered with feathers. Once Zhang Tingyue's Mo Dao was swung, blood would fly out, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of bloody water.
I don’t know if it’s his blood or the blood of barbarians...
This was an endless fight that would last until one of the parties fell down. Chen Shu pulled the stopper of a kerosene barrel behind him and watched the kerosene flow out of the barrel. He stood in the kerosene.
, let the white feather arrows jingle on his body, just a little more, and there will be a cluster of flames where Guo Ping is lying.
The Turks retreated in horror, wanting to avoid the oil area. To this end, they did not hesitate to push their companions off the city wall, and a rare open space appeared next to Chen Shu.
Guo Ping suddenly jumped up, stepped on the kerosene all over the ground, and fell down the city wall while holding Chen Shu in his arms. The fire ignited, and Chen Shu watched the kerosene ignite, and saw Zhang Tingyue standing with his body covered in flames, laughing.
Waving his Mo Dao on the city wall is like the God of Fire coming to the world.
A strange thought popped into Chen Shu's mind: "Did I kill my own commander?"
