Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Not only Guo Xiaoke, but even the entire army complained and complained.But there is no way, Duan Zhigan's time is limited, he has to train the whole army to a decent level within ten days, otherwise he will be overwhelmed.

"Woooo..."

At dawn, the get-up call, which the entire army hated, sounded.

These soldiers of the new army yelled and cursed, and got up one after another. They were about to start crazy training for six hours a day. Don't look at the simple three-step method of turning around and squatting to stand up. This simple military action made these soldiers of the new army Even have the heart to die.

……

The Liangzhou City, which could not be attacked for a long time, made Tong Yehu Khan very anxious. As long as the tens of thousands of troops stayed here for one more day, the food, fodder and money consumed would be a huge number.

Just last night, he saw ice slag appearing on the stables outside the tent. Although there were no thermometers in this era, Tong Yehu also knew that heavy snow was coming soon by virtue of his habitual experience.

If Liangzhou City is not taken, and Liangzhou City is not captured, the battle will be lost.

Tulifa (Turkic, roughly equivalent to the governor) Batur sighed and said, "I'm not reconciled, if I just return to Yiwu (now Hami), I will only make Ashina laugh at me."

Tong Yehu Khan slammed his fist on the table and said, "Damn Tang people, why don't you come to negotiate a peace?"

Tong Yehu originally advocated attacking the Khorasan region of the Sasanian Dynasty in the west. Since the main energy of the Sasanian Dynasty was to deal with the Byzantine Empire, Tong Yehu took advantage of a lot.However, this situation changed fundamentally last year (the second year of Wude). Under the leadership of Shahrbaraz, the Sasanian Empire army was invincible, Jerusalem and Alexandria Hong Kong fell successively, and the whole of Egypt also fell into the hands of the Sasanian Dynasty.At this time, the population and territory of the Sasanian Dynasty reached their peak. As Shahr Balazs led the 20 cavalry troops of the Sasanian Empire to the east, they fought with the Western Turks in Khorasan.

Yehu, the leader of the Western Turks, suffered a very big defeat, losing a large number of troops and territory, and millions of vassal troops defected. It can be said that this battle laid the root of the disaster for the defeat of the Western Turks.

The defeat in the battle on the western front put Tong Yehu into an embarrassing situation. In this situation, Jieli Khan joined him and prepared to attack Datang.

After preliminary investigation, Tong Yehu knew part of Datang's information. Datang is now competing with Wang Shichong for the Central Plains, and he has no time to care about him. To extort money and food to make up for his losses on the Western Front.

However, what Tong Yehu Khan didn't expect was that Li Tang's court was more tenacious than he imagined. Liangzhou City was besieged for nearly two months, even if the messenger climbed, he should have climbed to Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Tong Yehu Khan said angrily: "The Tang people will not cry when they see the coffin, our offensive must be strengthened!"

Batur pointed to the roads of Liangzhou city: "Liangzhou city is high and deep, and people's homes are condescending, and Tang people are good at shooting and defending. It is very difficult to break through here."

Tong Yehu smiled and said: "There is always a way, use Greek fire."

Batur frowned and said, "Greek fire? We have already tried it. Now the whirlwind is too strong, and the thick smoke will only float over the city wall. We have burned it for three days, but the effect is not good. Not many enemies were burned to death. Instead, we injured many soldiers."

Tong Yehu said: "Give those Byzantines a death order. If I am not afraid that Liangzhou City will be shot down by Ben Khan, I will treat them as stone bullets and smash them into Liangzhou City!"

Chapter 59 Knives will not be blocked within ten days (one update)

Chapter 59 Knives will not be sealed within ten days

Pifu was furious, blood spattered five steps.The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.Although Tongyehu Khan is not the emperor, everyone, big and small, is the lord of a country.When Tong Yehu got angry, it was of course a big deal, and countless people would definitely die for it.

Outside Liangzhou City, just after dawn, tens of thousands of Western Turkic cavalry began to charge towards Liangzhou City.

These Western Turkic cavalry were out of the range of the Tang army's defenders, yelling, running back and forth, with a terrifying momentum.

Standing on the city wall of Liangzhou, Li Daozong looked out of the city, and there were figures of Western Turkic cavalry everywhere, billowing dust, people roaring and horses neighing. Standing on the city wall, all Tang soldiers felt the fear of being surrounded on all sides.And as the Western Turkic cavalry approached again and again, this psychological pressure increased.

The generals of the Tang army shouted loudly to keep the soldiers calm, but it was useless. Those who can keep calm on the battlefield are not recruits. During the siege for nearly two months, the elite veterans under Li Daozong's command also suffered heavy casualties. A large number of recruits, these young and strong men who were ordinary people a few months ago, or dozens of days ago, held weapons, and their bodies shook like chaff.

When a group of Western Turkic light cavalry rushed towards Liangzhou City with strange screams, and they were getting closer and closer, someone finally couldn't hold on anymore and shot the bow and arrow in their hands. The soldiers of the Tang army, who were about to break, scrambled to shoot arrows as if they had found a vent.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The dense rain of arrows poured down on the cavalry of the Western Turks, but it was useless.The Western Turkic cavalry was still shooting out of the bow and arrow. Although the shooting was very intensive this time, the distance was too far, and there were not many Western Turkic cavalry who fell to the ground with the arrow.

At this moment, the Western Turkic cavalry rushed over with their horses. The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air sounded like arrows, and the soldiers of the Tang army fell in response.

The screams one after another made the generals of the Tang army even more flustered, and even some soldiers of the Tang army dropped their bows and crossbows in fright, turned around and ran away.Fortunately, Li Daozong still had a reserve team, allowing elite veterans to fill in the gap in time and stabilize the situation.

However, the cavalry of the Western Turks ran around Liangzhou City, rushing into the range from time to time, causing damage to the Tang Army defenders on the city wall. Because the cavalry is running, it is more difficult to shoot a moving target, so both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. Every minute, every second, someone will scream and fall to the ground.

Gradually, Li Daozong felt that something was wrong. The Tang army had a city wall to cover it. Even if it was hit by an arrow, it could be healed immediately. Especially with the implementation of Chen Ying's surgical treatment method, the possibility of recovery of the Tang army's wounded soldiers was as high as [-]%. Unless it hits a vital point, under normal circumstances, an arrow will not be fatal at all.

But the Western Turks were different. Each of them fell off their horses and fell to the ground, and they would immediately be trampled into a pulp by the horseshoes behind them. That meant that as long as one of the Western Turks was shot by an arrow, [-]% of them would die.

In such a battle, the Western Turks would not have any effect except to increase casualties. After all, war horses could not fly over the city walls.

Tong Yehu Khan watched the death of his subordinates indifferently, not because he was cruel, but because these attacking Western Turkic cavalry, in the eyes of Tang people, these were all Western Turkic people, but Tong Yehu knew very well that these were only Western Turkic cavalry The vassal army drawn by the vassal tribe is the cannon fodder army.

Tong Yehu used these servants to consume the arrows and strength of the Tang army. Combat with cold weapons is different from combat with hot weapons. When fighting with cold weapons, a soldier controls a heavy machine gun, and it is no problem to kill hundreds or thousands of people. .But the key is that the era of cold soldiers crying is too laborious.

A qualified archer can shoot at most one pot of arrows in a battle, and then his physical strength will drop rapidly. If he fights with difficulty, the bow and arrow will not be able to stretch into a full moon, and the excessive consumption of physical strength will also hurt the soldiers' bodies.

This siege battle, like a cat playing with a mouse, lasted for almost two hours. When it was almost noon, all Tang soldiers, including Li Daozong, felt that their physical strength could not support them.

The rain of arrows that hit the city was not only sparse, but also weak.

Tong Yehu saw it very clearly, and ordered lightly: "This Khan spent more than 3000 lives just for this one action. If you disappoint Ben Khan again, Ben Khan will be dragged to death with a horse!"

A group of Roman servants hurriedly followed the order and launched an attack.The Byzantines dispatched more than a thousand people to push hundreds of two-wheeled carts. A large wooden barrel was installed on these two-wheeled carts. This wooden barrel was about three feet in diameter and more than six feet high. With a wooden lever as long as three feet.The raised wooden bars seem like the barrels of self-propelled artillery.

This is actually not a self-propelled artillery, but a Greek fire invented by the Greeks.The so-called Greek fire is based on the same principle as the fierce fire oil tank invented in the Song Dynasty. Using a unique formula, put crude oil into a wooden tube wrapped in brass, and use the power of air compression to spray out the fire oil to cause damage to the enemy.

This was originally a weapon for water warfare. Due to the large space on the battleship, it can be made into a larger gas cylinder and a longer range.But this is just the land version of Greek Fire, and its power is not too great.

But in this time and space, it is a weapon that makes people fear.Once the Greek fire starts to be cast, the fire dragon as thick as a bucket will spray more than [-] steps, and within the range of more than [-] steps, a sea of ​​flames will be formed instantly.

Li Daozong was shocked when he saw this scene, he hastily roared: "Archers, beat these Turks back!"

The generals of the Tang army also knew how powerful the Greek fire was, and they also wanted to shoot arrows. The problem is that after two hours of shooting each other, their physical strength has long been exhausted, and there are not many arrows left.

Obviously they had no physical strength, and these Tang army archers couldn't care less. They drew their bows one after another, gritted their teeth and opened their bows and arrows.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Sparse arrows hit the Greek fire, and because the inner tank was made of brass, even though the arrows hit the Greek fire, they jingled and jingled, and it sounded lively, but it was useless.

In desperation, a few archers shot arrows at these Byzantines in grief and anger. This time it finally worked. As the rain of arrows fell, some Byzantines fell to the ground screaming from time to time. However, the archers who could shoot arrows It is really pitifully small, so what use are there hundreds of bows?Not to mention those battle-hardened Western Turks, even the Byzantines themselves didn't take this casualty seriously, and kept pushing the Greek train forward in silence!

Li Daozong watched helplessly as these Byzantines pushed the Greek fire, within [-] steps into Liangzhou City, these Greek fire vehicles were slowly fixed under the operation of the Byzantines, and then adjusted the angle of the kerosene nozzle.

All the soldiers of the Tang Army roared in despair.

Right now, there's nothing they can do.

Li Daozong shouted: "Quickly step back, step back!"

The Byzantines who carried out the twenty steps of Liangzhou City could easily set the entire city wall on fire with Greek fire.At this time, no matter how many people were left on the city wall, it was the same, and they all died in the sea of ​​flames.

Hearing Li Daozong's order, all the soldiers of the Tang army hurriedly ran down the city wall. At this time, no one was a hero, and no one was a hero. At this time, it is meaningless to do so.

Just as Tang Jun ran down the city in a panic.More than a thousand Byzantines screamed, and seven or eight people worked together to pull down the long lever, followed by deafening roars.
