Soldiers gathered together, and flags covered the sky.
Various units of the Guards have gathered one after another. There are military camps everywhere outside Shangshan City. Cavalry, infantry, flying soldiers, and soldiers and horses from all over are gathering in Shangshan.
The residents in the city were frightened. There have been frequent wars in the past few years. In the past few years, the city was even destroyed and a county magistrate defected to Shangshan. This time, the Tang Dynasty will attack again in a big way.
For a time, people in Shangshan County were panicked, and restaurants and tea shops everywhere were talking about escaping from Shangshan.
The main camp in the west of the city, inside the Chinese military tent.
Cao Hua was not wearing a hood, and the bandage on her forehead moved upward, revealing the scabbed scar on her forehead. She was standing in front of the defense map, her brows furrowed.
"Report, Commander-in-Chief, the Rouran City Army has arrived. General Sun Xiu wants to see you."
A smile appeared on Cao Hua's cheeks, Sun Xiu is here. During the Rouran War, he was ordered to garrison Rouran City, which was built under Su Yun's order, and to control the troops. After this recruitment, he was finally willing to come out of Rouran City.
Sun Xiu and his two lieutenants strode into the camp and bowed to Cao Hua.
"Sun Xiu, the commander of Rouran Cavalry, has met the commander-in-chief."
"I haven't seen General Sun Xiu for many years. I wonder how our Han cavalry has been treated by you?"
Cao Hua said with a smile.
Sun Xiu laughed and randomly chose a chair to sit down.
"Strong soldiers and strong horses are enough for a purpose. There has been no war for years, so we can only use those horse bandits and bandits to train our troops. I am frustrated."
"Commander Commander, I must let my cavalry be the vanguard this time. The Tang people will definitely be beaten and their armor will be thrown off."
"Why are your cavalry as the vanguard? Are there any first-come, first-served orders? I've been waiting for five days."
Ying Yuan, who commanded the Thule Cavalry, strode in with a joking face.
This guy has a restless character. He was transferred several times and studied in a martial arts hall for another year. He was assigned to lead troops on the Tule Grassland. This time he heard that there was a big war, so he asked Zhang Lu for help.
The opportunity to restrain the cavalry army came to Jiangzhou.
Cao Hua patted the table and stopped Sun Xiu who wanted to argue.
"At dawn tomorrow, Sun Xiu's army will arrive here, and Yingyuan's army will arrive here. At sunrise, they will launch an attack on Yilong."
"Tomorrow at noon, I want to have dinner in Yilong. Can you two generals do it?"
Sun Xiu grimaced and said, "Commander Commander, I, Sun Xiu, have nothing to say about capturing the Yilong Camp. However, although our cavalry can conquer the county town, the casualties will be too heavy and it is not worth it."
Yingyuan chuckled and said:
"Commander Commander, the people of Tang Dynasty haven't seen our crossbow bird yet. Let them open their eyes this time. They are a bunch of country bumpkins who think big fists mean they are awesome."
Cao Hua threw two military affairs brochures to the two of them and gave instructions:
"These are the armies that are cooperating with each other in this battle. The Ballistae Battalion will assist you in breaking the city, but you have to remember it. You cannot let the Ballistae Battalion be exposed to the Tang Army's peak."
Sun Xiu looked through the military affairs booklet with ten eyes and looked a little surprised.
"The ballista battalion didn't break the city with one blow...is it a powerful crossbow?"
Sun Xiu looked at Cao Hua in shock. Did the Ordnance Office finally get out the strong crossbow? We also have strong crossbows.
"Let's all go and protect the ballista battalion."
Cao Hua gave the order.
On the second day, Zhang Gan, the commander of the ballista battalion, looked helplessly at Sun Xiu who never left him.
"General Sun, your mission is to attack Tang Yilong Camp. If you follow me, you will not be able to attack Yilong Camp."
Sun Xiu smiled tiredly:
"Oh, I don't count on your ballista battalion. I just want my bunch of bumpkins to see what the strongest weapon of our Han country is. Let them have something to eat when they go back. Don't think that I am the best in the world all day long.
1. The cavalry is invincible in field battles."
"Commander, many of the battle examples in the martial arts hall speak of the invincibility of our cavalry."
"Yes, our cavalry army is invincible, even those bad guys from Thule."
"Yes, the cavalry is number one."
"Silence, look at how powerful the ballista battalion is. The ballista battalion is also very powerful."
Amidst the shouts of a group of people, the powerful crossbows of the ballista battalion finally arrived.
"Silk……"
The generals and captains of the cavalry army at all levels immediately let out gasps of air, saying, this is so awesome.
The two men were as tall as each other, and in front of the wooden crossbow, which was thirty paces square, there were dense clusters of arrows stuck in front. The arrow clusters shone with a cold light under the illumination of the surrounding torches.
At the top of the city, Qin General Gao Yang went up to the top of the city surrounded by a group of guards.
"The Han army attacked the city, and all the camp headquarters went up to the city wall to be on guard."
Gao Yang ordered the deputy general next to him and yawned.
During the last battle at Shangshan, Gao Yang's confidence was completely shattered. Su Lu was the invincible God of War. He took Shangshan with just a face-to-face meeting. Faced with the murderous intent of the Han army rising from the sky, he could not lift himself up at all.
The determination to fight to the end.
As long as Su Lu is here, there is no need to think about fighting the Han army.
Thinking about the scene that day, Gao Yang still felt uneasy.
Looking at the torches under the city, Gao Yang yawned and said.
"How come the Han army is so fast? Weren't they still in Shangshan yesterday?"
Gao Yang thought of Su Lu again, his calves began to cramp, and he thought about abandoning the city and leaving.
The deputy general said: "General, the Han army came at night, we..."
"Buzz..."
The sound of dense crossbow arrows piercing the air sounded, as if countless locusts were covering the sky and filling the sky.
In the distance, the crossbow arrows formed a black torrent, like a suddenly elongated black box, instantly filling the sight of the Qin generals.
"boom……"
The heavy city gate was shot through in one fell swoop, and the entire city gate disappeared.
Gao Yang stared blankly at the green bricks under his feet, all the cuts, as if they had been cut open by knives, and the lieutenant who was standing next to him just now was completely missing.
Opposite, at the openings of the city wall that were also broken, several officers of the Xuanjia Army looked over in confusion, the muscles on their faces trembling, and they could not even speak.
Looking down, there are a few green bricks left on the ground, announcing that there really was a city gate here just now.
There was no trace of the street directly opposite the city gate. The soldiers, horses, and houses were all neatly gone.
In the distance, not far from the government office, city bricks, bluestones, rubble, flesh and blood were in a mess, reminding Gao Yang that what he had just experienced was real and not a dream.
"Kill"
With the sound of hoofbeats and the sound of killing, the Han cavalry rushed down the hillside in the distance like a bloody torrent, and rushed into the city in the blink of an eye.
After reacting, Gao Yang was just about to organize the sergeants, but when he saw the huge black wall of arrows slowly advancing in the distance, his confidence completely dissipated.
To put it bluntly, in the face of such weapons, personal bravery is nothing, and the bravery of military formations is nothing more than meat on a felt board.
"I surrender"
Gao Yang looked at Sun Xiu, who was riding a horse and showing off his power, and said crisply.
"I am the young prince of the Tang Kingdom. I surrender. Don't kill me. The Tang Kingdom is also willing to surrender."
