Chapter 418 Small battle under the city
Chapter 418: Small Battle Under the City
Gudor was completely unprepared, Shi Mutang showed weakness and even offered "tributes". How could he have thought that this was a trap?
The feathered arrows shot like locusts on the city. Gudor screamed. He was not vague and immediately lay on the saddle to avoid the sneak attacking arrow!
After more than a dozen sounds, the war horse under him was shot into a hedgehog and fell to the ground. Gudor was also hit by a few arrows on his back and legs. Although it would not cost him his life, he was caught in an arrow and fell to the ground with his horse, which shocked the Turkic soldiers behind him. They rushed up in a scream, wanting to steal him back!
Shi Mutang looked at the city with a real look and sneered: "Man dies for money, birds die for food. Greedy is so heavy that he wants to dominate the grassland, but he is just a bunch of furious people!"
The Tang soldiers in the city opened their bows and shot arrows without any mercy. The Turkic soldiers under the city lay down under the first round of arrow rain. All the Turkic soldiers who smashed the stone tablets were shot to death, and dozens of Gudor's guardians were also knocked down halfway!
The Turkic soldiers were very good at shooting, and they were not afraid of the enemy's sudden arrows. Everyone had a shield immediately. Even if they could not protect the horse, their own vital parts could be protected!
But because Gudol suddenly fell down by an arrow, these guards had no time to resist the arrow rain and fought to seek Gudol. As a result, after the sound of the beating, the remaining guards were knocked down by more than ten more!
Shi Mutang raised his hand and said, "Stop!"
Only then did the Tang Bing withdraw his bow and arrows, and no longer shoot downwards!
When the Turkic soldiers outside the range saw the Tang soldiers stop attacking, they shouted in unison. A team of fierce warriors rushed forward to snatch Gudor back. Gudor was lying in the pile of dead bodies, with a few feathered arrows on their backs, and they didn't know how to live or die!
Shi Mutang was not in a hurry. He watched the team of warriors rush to Gudor and shouted: "Chain the horse!"
The Tang Bing fired the bow and shot the warriors' horses again, and shot fiercely at the Turkic warriors!
Although this team of Turkic warriors was extremely brave, they could not withstand the Tang army's archery and arrows. Moreover, hundreds of archers dealt with dozens of their war horses. Not to mention that the war horses were made of flesh, even if they were beaten by iron, they would probably collapse all over their bodies!
Shi Mutang saw the Turkic warriors falling off the horse, and he shouted: "Do not shoot the bones, save his life!"
When the Tang soldiers fired the arrow, they immediately became careful, avoided Gudor's surroundings, and shot only the Turkic warriors!
In just a blink of an eye, all the Turkic warriors were killed. Next to the ox cart under the city, there were about two hundred corpses lying everywhere, with white feathers everywhere! The blood of the Turkic warriors dyed the snow red, while the purple-red ground was covered with white feathers, and the scene was tragic!
Shi Mutang waved his hand and asked the Tang soldiers to stop attacking, and the city calmed down again. The Turkic soldiers did not know whether the leader died in battle, but no one came forward to rescue them. They all watched helplessly, and the city was also silent!
In the distance, above a big tree, Hou Ling stood high on the branch of the tree, looking at the city gate. He thought to himself: "Be good, so cruel. The defenders on the city seemed to know the way the Turks fought very well, and they actually shot down the big flags of King Xihacha Khan! However, it was strange, why didn't those Turks come forward to snatch back the bodies?"
Hou Ling thought Gudol was shot to death, and Shi Mutang thought so. He turned around and said to the general: "Didn't you tell you not to shoot Gudol to death!"
The generals have always been afraid of Shi Mutang. When they heard the rebuke of the governor, they all said with a stern voice: "Sir, you can't hit every shot under the arrows. If you accidentally hurt Bodor, you can't blame the men!"
How could Shi Mutang not know this truth? But he was angry and he couldn't help but scold his subordinates!
After half a cup of tea, the Turkic soldiers did not take any action anymore, and they didn't know what they were waiting for. Suddenly, a young Turkic general shouted, and after a few shouts, a team of Turkic soldiers dismounted and held their shields, slowly heading towards the city gate!
Shi Mutang snorted and said, "If Gudor is not dead, the Turkic soldiers dare not attack the city, but they must send warriors to come up and steal him back. We just need to shoot these warriors one by one, which is so easy to save trouble. Do you not understand such a simple truth?"
The Tang army generals hurriedly said, "They were confused just now, thanks to the reminder!"
The bait technique used by Shi Mutang is also often used in modern battlefields. The sniper first injure an enemy soldier, then hides in the dark, waiting for the enemy to come up to save the injured enemy soldiers, and then kills the enemy soldiers who come up to save people one by one, but never kills the injured one. He just asks him to ask for help loudly and attract more enemy soldiers. This move is very useful and is common in ancient and modern times!
The Turkic soldiers holding shields below slowly moved into the range!
Shi Mutang waved his hand to the soldiers after the giant crossbow, and the soldiers immediately set off the crossbow! The long arrow used by this giant crossbow was ten feet long. In the era of cold weapons, its power was second only to the catapult, and the shield player could not resist it!
The long arrow shot down the city with strong wind. In the middle of the Turkic soldiers' shield formation, the huge force directly tore open the shield formation! When the Turkic soldiers were a little panicked, hundreds of large bows on the city immediately shot arrows, and blood splattered. After a few rounds, all the Turkic soldiers holding the shield were killed!
The young Turkic general who was in the back was anxious and shouted again. Several teams of Turkic soldiers left the line, one team continued to steal Gudor, while the other teams carried the ladder and headed to other locations of the city wall. It seemed that they were going to pretend to attack the city and distract the Tang soldiers' attention. The real purpose was to steal Gudor back!
Seeing this, Shi Mutang snorted and said, "Don't pay attention to those who carry the ladder. Those who can't catch up will still shoot those who come to save Gudor!"
After hearing the order, the Tang army followed the order. Sure enough, as Shi Mutang said, after the arrow rain, the Turkic soldiers who came to rescue were shot overturned, and the other escaped. Obviously, the Turkic soldiers who came this time were not elite enough!
Those who carried the ladders, when they saw that the rescue failed at the city gate, were also stuck. When they saw the Tang Bing's bow and arrow aimed at them, they actually shouted in unison, threw down the ladder, and fled back to the brigade!
Shi Mutang finally smiled on his face and said, "The mob, the people from the small tribe just can't do it, I've never seen a big formation!"
After the Turkic soldiers fled back, two Turkic generals in the formation started arguing, one was the young Turkic general, and the other was a Turkic general with a beard. I don’t know what their relationship was.
Although they were far away and could not hear what they were calling, judging by their posture, it seemed that the young general insisted on attacking, and the bearded general was stopping. The two of them were arguing fiercely, and their subordinates also drew their swords and glared at each other!
Hou Ling on the big tree looked from a distance and smiled, "It's going to be an internal strife, it's too fast!"
Shi Mutang in the city also smiled and said, "It's good to have a quarrel, it's good to have internal strife! Listen, someone will come up to save Gudouer later. Don't be embarrassed by them anymore, let them snatch Gudouer back!"
The generals didn't understand it, and some said, "Sir, can you let the Gudor go back? Then they won't be able to fight in the internal strife!"
Shi Mutang pressed his hand on the battlement and said, "Those two people must be the ones who are likely to inherit the Khan throne. If they don't let Gudou back, they will work hard with us together and the attack will not be over. But if Gudou back, he will see his half-dead look, and he will be unable to restrain the two. The strong Turkic people are respected and find that the leader is weak, so they will have more ideas!"
Turning his head, he smiled at the generals and said, "The real internal strife that takes action was happening on the way to retreat, not at this city. Are you stupid as Turkic soldiers? Before our Tang army, you will draw your swords and chop each other!"
The generals thought about it and felt that this was the case, and it should be the case. The governor in front of him was a Turkic person. How could he not understand the Turkic person?
After the two Turkic generals under the city had a big quarrel, the bearded general roared wildly and pushed away the young general. He held a shield in his left hand and a big knife in his right hand, and walked towards the city gate. The Turkic soldiers wanted to pull him along the way, but he kicked them away, and some Turkic soldiers wanted to follow him, but he also shouted back!
The bearded general was alone and striding towards Gudor!
Tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers looked at him and suddenly shouted in unison: "Chigba, Chigaba!"
Chigba is the name of this bearded general. He is Guduoer's younger brother, and the young general is Guduoer's son, named Tuojia!
The method of inheriting the ancestral property of the Turks is different from that of the Central Plains. The Central Plains people emphasize the inheritance of the father's business and the son, while the Turks are brothers and brothers. In other words, when Gudor died, Tujia could not inherit the throne of Khan, but was inherited by Chigba!
Gudor was shot down by Shi Mutang's arrow, and Chigba was secretly happy. This is really called the brother raising sheep. He ate meat. The Sihacha tribe just expanded and his brother died. The cheap fell on his head, so he didn't want to save his brother. Once Gudor died, he would become the king of Khan!
But Tuojia stopped working. Once his father Khan died, such a big tribe would become his uncle. He would get nothing. If his father Khan did not die, then he still had hope, so he wanted to save him!
Chigpa used the excuse that he could not sacrifice the life of the warrior for vain as an excuse, and said that he should slow down and negotiate with Shi Mutang first, but he refused. After this, his father was hit by several arrows and fell into the snow. Time was delayed, so why would he die? The two started arguing!
How can there be good things to say in a quarrel? Tuojia scolded Chigba for trying to murder his father Khan and usurp the throne of Khan. In front of everyone, Chigba could not bear such words. His reputation became terrible. Even if Gudor died, the Khan position would not fall on him. In anger, in order to show his courage, he went out alone to save Gudor!
Chigba thought to himself: "Brother must be dead. Even if he is not dead, it doesn't matter. When I saved him, I made some dirt in his wound. He still had to die. I can inherit the position of Khan!"
Tuoga did not stop Chigba. He thought to himself: "Uncle will take the opportunity to kill his father Khan, but Tang Jun will not let him go, and will shoot him to death. Then I can inherit the Khan throne!"
Shi Mutang on the city thought to himself: "Want to show off his hero? OK, then let you show off, every man is a man!"
