Usman's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he saw. He saw fire coming out of the cylinder, like a bolt of lightning, tearing the night sky apart. The huge fire burst out in the shape of an awl, and a crowd of enemy troops in front of him responded.
On the contrary, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his death was extremely miserable, just like purgatory on earth!
Except for the people brought by Li Mu, everyone, whether it was the defenders or the enemy, was confused by the scene in front of them.
What the hell is this! Killing people like mowing grass?!
Someone thought of the legend of Changshengtian! Fear spread among the Turkic army. It must have been that Ashimu let the woman attack the city just now, which angered Changshengtian. Therefore, Changshengtian sent down the divine punishment. It must be like this!
People have instinctive fear when facing unknown things. Even these Turkic cavalry have been trained to become killing machines, but they are still afraid of the Tiger Gun, which is as powerful as heaven.
What they don't know is that the cooperation of three people is required to refill the Tiger Cannon once. In fact, the gap in filling the gunpowder is enough for them to kill. Although Li Mu will have a back-up move, if they can be brave and not afraid of death,
Rush forward regardless, maybe there is still a chance.
But they hesitated and the opportunity was no longer available.
The second round of artillery fired. This time, the impact point of the artillery shells was further back. The Turkic cavalry who had not yet reacted only saw countless iron filings and flying sand flying, and then they lost consciousness. Countless iron filings
Instantly beat their bodies into sieves!
As far as the eye can see, the surroundings are already as bright as day. The fire rain caused by the explosion is flying everywhere, and the fire is soaring into the sky. There are shrill roars and desperate cries everywhere. There is fire, broken limbs, and blood everywhere.
The situation reversed in an instant, and the outside of the city had become a hell on earth. The air was filled with the disgusting smell of burnt meat.
There was nowhere to escape, and there were corpses everywhere, which prevented the Turkic army from turning around. The chaos caused trampling on each other, and many of them were trampled to death! The frightened horses ran around like crazy, knocking people over without restraint, and the horseshoes
Trampling on the fallen person who was still alive caused the second and third injuries.
People who were set ablaze by the fire, their shrill cries resounded through the night sky. They ran around wildly, trying to get others to save them, but when they got close to other people, they often hugged them and burned together.
Everyone just ran away like a headless fly, but in the end, no one could escape their misfortune.
Ashimu held the handle of the scimitar in his hand and stared blankly at everything in front of him.
He was completely confused.
It is clear that the city is about to be destroyed, what is happening, why is this happening?!
Is it possible that Changshengtian is really angry?
He didn't have time to think about it, because he suddenly realized that no matter whether Chang Sheng Tian was angry or not, his life seemed to be unsafe.
Thousands of Turkic elites who attacked the city were all wiped out in the blink of an eye. Thinking of the military order he had issued, Ashimu laughed miserably. He knew that the only thing waiting for him was death!
He pulled out his scimitar, a look of determination in his eyes.
"kill!"
One man and one horse, before everyone could react and still watched in shock, he rushed towards the head of Qiuci City.
There was a thunderous sound, and Asimu was hit by a cannonball.
He instantly understood what he had just witnessed, and he also understood what his men had gone through.
The power of divine punishment is definitely beyond what humans can contend with.
Ashimu originally charged with open arms and wielding a machete. But at this moment, his whole body was already crumbling. The iron chips splashed by the cannonballs had made half of his face pockmarked, with black smoke rising from it, and one eye.
He knocked it down directly, white liquid flowed out of his eyes, and he made a sound of uh uh uh uh uh uh.
Then, the body, which was like an iron tower, twitched and fell to the ground.
He was not exhausted yet, his body was still twitching, there were bullet holes all over his body, and his whole body was soaked in blood!
Reluctantly, Ashimu tried hard to open his only eye! What he saw was a blood-red sky, with shrill roars and desperate cries everywhere around him, fire everywhere, stumps, blood, and severe pain.
It made blood spurt out of his mouth, but at this moment, no one cared about him anymore.
Death came before his eyes, and Ashimu screamed in pain. The past of his life passed by like a slide, and the memories from childhood to adulthood flashed away quickly.
An ownerless war horse galloped over in a panic, its hoofs clattered, and it stepped directly on Ashimu's belly.
"Uh..." Ashimu let out a final groan, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out!
At this time... not only had most of his body been burned, but his body was riddled with holes, one eye and nose were missing, and an unknown number of ribs were broken. Now... his intestines were pierced and his belly was rotten.
He made a reluctant sound, and finally died under the bloody sky that was like torture.
The fire burned outside the city for a whole night. All the Turks watched helplessly as their compatriots died tragically, but no one dared to come forward.
They have been frightened out of their wits.
When there was finally nothing left to burn, the fire gradually extinguished, and the entire sky was covered with a layer of burnt dust. This dust slowly fell like rain, so that the nearby land was covered with dust.
A layer of ashes.
It's dawn.
…
What the hell is going on!
The fire burned all night, and Tong'e stared at it all night!
But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out why. Why did his son and son-in-law have already climbed to the top of the city, and suddenly the situation reversed!
If the Kucha people already had this skill, why didn't they use it earlier? Why did they show their last trump card only after more than half of them were killed or injured?
This is not how wars are fought!
"Have you ever..." Tong'e's voice was so hoarse that she could hardly hear her. The soldiers had to get closer and said, "... those who escaped, please ask what happened!"
Before he finished speaking, and before the soldiers came out of the tent, they saw several soldiers coming in, supporting a dying Turkic cavalryman who was covered in blood, half of his face was burned, and only one breath left.
"Sweat..." The Turkic cavalry burst into tears before he could say anything, sobbing uncontrollably.
Tong'e also felt sad. He knew that he had no reason to blame the poor people in front of him. They were not brave and this was not a crime of war!
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Report to the Great Khan." The cavalryman said one word at a time, using up his remaining vitality, trying to speak clearly: "The Tang army has arrived. On top of the city is..."
"What? What did you say?!" Tong'e saw the man rolling his eyes, grabbing his shoulders and shouting hoarsely: "Who is on top of the city? Tell me quickly!"
"Li, Li... Mu,"
After saying the last word, the Turkic cavalry was stunned!
"What? What did you say?!"
Tong'e was shocked when she heard this, and jumped to her feet and asked: "Didn't the Tang army arrive at midnight? How did they get there?"
But the cavalryman could no longer answer him.
Tong'e asked several times before finally regaining consciousness. He let go of the cavalryman who was no longer breathing, waved his hand, and his own soldiers took him down.
"You...go in person to see if Li Mu is here. Does the fire last night have something to do with him?" Tong'e hissed and said to the captain of the soldiers beside him: "Ask the scouts what they do to eat.
Yes, why no one noticed when the Tang army came for reinforcements!"
Although Tong'e always despised the Tang army in words, in fact, he had already made complete preparations. This time he fought against the Tang Dynasty, and the warning range was unprecedented. The scout team released 200 people, and the enemy army reached 80 miles away.
, she should be able to report it to the commander-in-chief. Seeing the hesitation of the captain of the soldiers, Tong'e angrily pulled out her scimitar: "Why don't you move? Are you afraid?"
"Great Khan, my subordinates are going...right now," the captain of the personal soldiers ran out of the tent as if he was running away. Tong'e was right, he was indeed afraid. He was not afraid of death, but everyone was now
They all regard the sound of the finished cannon as the anger of Changshengtian, and they cannot tolerate it without fear.
The reason why Turkic warriors are not afraid of death is because of their belief in Changshengtian. Those who are loyal to Changshengtian can reach the Paradise of Paradise even if they die in battle. But now Changshengtian is angry. If you die, not only will you not get the blessings of Changshengtian
However, he may suffer endless pain, so how can he not be afraid?
Li Mu never imagined that a shelling would accidentally become a "spiritual blow" and achieve unexpected results. The disintegration of Turkic military morale began at this time.
…
Yesterday, when the sound of artillery stopped, Li Mu went down to the city. He was very confident in his cannon. In this era of cold weapons, the Tiger Zun Cannon was like a dimensionality-reducing strike. He did not believe that the Turks could be brave enough to ignore death.
Artillery attack, the degree of filling the shells with life.
What's more, in order to prevent the Turks from rushing up while filling the cannon, Li Mu brought all the stocks of repeated crossbows with him this time. In a scenario like a city defense battle, there is no need to aim the crossbow firing, as long as the crossbow arrows are sufficient, that is,
Can harvest human lives infinitely.
This was originally an unfair battle, and all the previous preparations were for the sake of getting here smoothly.
After a good night's sleep, it was bright and clear. Li Mu woke up. The cook accompanying the army had already prepared a steaming breakfast. Li Mu was holding a bowl of porridge and drinking it. When he saw Usman walking in, he pointed at the food in front of him.
Porridge, said: "Here, a whole bowl."
Seeing that Li Mu was so close to him, Wusman felt warm in his heart. He felt that his efforts were not in vain. This performance made him truly enter the circle around Li Mu. From now on, he will never be in vain again.
He is no longer an outsider.
"Master Marquis, the Turks sent scouts to investigate." Usman filled a bowl of porridge and drank it in two mouthfuls. He was indeed hungry. In order to prepare for the defense of the city these days, he couldn't eat or sleep. Last night
When Li Mu arrived, he managed to sleep for an hour and a half, and went up to the city again early in the morning.
"Should we shoot them?"
"No need," Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Why do you need to cause evil? You send people to shout on the city wall and tell the Turks that the Turks have betrayed their trust, but we, the Tang Dynasty, cannot be unjust. If the Turks can rein in the precipice, before dusk tonight
If the Turks retreated and sent 10,000 cattle and sheep as compensation, then the matter would be over, and the two countries would still be brothers. The damage caused by the Turks to the countries in the Western Regions would be borne by the Tang Dynasty. But if they did not understand the promotion, they still refused.
Retreating is equivalent to declaring war. Just like what I, Li Mu, said, the next battle will be with Tong'e's dog head!"
Usman's excited heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he just wanted to say this: "The general understands, go and tell them now!"
"etc!"
Li Mu stopped him and said: "Let me tell the countries in the Western Regions that Khan Tian has never forgotten the people of the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty's promises to the countries are still valid. Those who are devoted to the Tang Dynasty will be punished by the Tang Dynasty."
Protect. Those with evil intentions will be punished no matter how far away they are."
…
Inside the Turkic king's tent.
"...That's what the other side shouted."
The captain of the soldiers repeated what he had said, and Tong'e motioned him to stand up and asked: "Are you sure that the soldiers on the wall opposite were brought by Li Mu? Is it a bluff?"
"As for the Great Khan, it shouldn't be the case. The original defenders have been fighting with us for many days and are exhausted. But now the defenders on the city are in high spirits and don't look tired at all. Moreover, the defenders on the city are in high spirits.
The flag was also changed to a black background with a Chu Huang Yunlong pattern. It is said that Li Mu called himself General Yunlong. This pattern was given to him by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and no one else was allowed to use it."
When Tong'e heard this, she knew it was definitely Li Mu. He had seen Li Mu from a distance while following Ni Shou, and he knew about Li Mu's Yunlong flag.
At that time, Tong'e looked at Li Mu from a distance and felt fear in her heart. Her fear came from Li Mu's magic. The last time the Western Turks marched eastward and Tuyuhun and other countries invaded the border, the situation in the Tang Dynasty was even more critical than now.
But Li Mu relied on his own magic and luck to resolve the crisis. What a scene it was when Li Mu stood on a high platform and delivered admonitions to the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
Turning a passive situation into an active one, the countries in the Western Regions returned to the center. From then on, the Tang Dynasty completely controlled the Silk Road...
If this were not the case, Tong'e would not have had to conquer the east as soon as he became the Great Khan. It was impossible not to do this. In a few years, the Tang Dynasty would be unshakable in the Western Regions. At that time, what kind of brotherly alliance would it be?
Strength determines everything. Sooner or later, the Turks will become like the countries in the Western Regions and can only pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.
If you want to change your destiny, you only have this chance. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo and took advantage of their internal emptiness to fight this battle.
If everything goes well, it would be better to seize the Hetao and annex the Eastern Turks. But if not, conquering the Dingxiang Protectorate can be considered as achieving the goal. As long as the Tang Dynasty's heel in the Western Regions is destroyed, the countries in the Western Regions will still have to live in
Under the threat of the Western Turks. This can be regarded as the capital for the Western Turks to get along with the Tang Dynasty on an equal footing.
Tong'e didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. As the Great Khan of the Western Turks, he had to do this for his own people. He was not greedy for killing. The countries he destroyed along the way were all loyal dogs of the Tang Dynasty.
Only by destroying them can we conquer the Western Region and make other countries fearful.
I just didn't expect that he would die before he left the army. Li Mu's divine soldiers descended from the sky and defeated the most elite Turkic warriors with just one move.
