Chapter 963: Send him to hell(1/2)
In the early morning in Luo County, Shu County, the sun has not yet risen. The sky is gray, and the trees and grass in the forest are all covered with a layer of light white autumn frost. When the morning sun rises from the east, the golden glow fills the mountains and fields of Shu County.
and the city, as the thick smoke slowly faded, Luoxian County became clearer.
The morning glow is shining on the top of the city of Luoxian County. The swords and armors of the Tang army soldiers guarding the city are shining with magnificent light. If you only look at the top of the city, you will feel very beautiful. But as long as you look down, what you see is the bloody and broken body.
Dead bodies; some bodies were curled up, with the pain of death on their faces; some bodies had broken heads and were mutilated; some were smashed into meat pies by stones, deeply embedded in the earth, and filled with blood.
The earth dyed red is one piece.
The soldiers of the Tang Army on the city looked at the Sui Army camp under the morning mist, with fear and horror in their eyes. At this time, the First Army and the Fifth Army of the Sui Dynasty had all gathered outside Luoxian County, plus the slave soldiers.
, auxiliary soldiers, the whole army has more than 100,000 people. Large camps stretching for more than ten miles have risen from the ground, surrounding the south, east, and north of Luo County as far as the eye can see.
Yang Tong had no good intentions in doing this, because the left west side was facing the direction of Jiulong County. The terrain here was relatively flat, which was conducive to cavalry charge. Once the Luo County army was defeated, the cavalry could cover them from behind, forcing Jiulong County to attack.
The Longtang Army went out to the camp to rescue and had a decisive battle with the Sui Army in the wild; secondly, once the Tang Army in Luoxian County was defeated, they would bring panic to the Jiulong Camp.
After Yang Tong received the news that the Tang army in the north had been completely wiped out, he issued a general offensive order. Under the command of Yang Tong, generals such as Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Mai Zhongcai, Wang Xiongdan, Xue Wanbei, Yu Zhan, Fan Qin, and even Liu Rengui
, Confucian generals like Lai Ji, who were of the war-minded side, also went to the front line and attacked Luoxian County repeatedly. Yang Tong's intention was very simple, that is, he hoped that the generals, big and small, would be tempered in the battle.
More than a hundred flying divine ships are showing great power these days. At the beginning, the flying army fired arrows condescendingly. Although the effect was good, the effect was more of a kind of spiritual suppression, which not only consumed a lot of money, but also caused damage from time to time.
The Tang army shot them down with giant crossbows. Over time, they could no longer deter the accustomed Tang army.
After so many days of fighting, the Feitian Army also summed up many insidious tactics. Airdropping kerosene was a conventional tactic, and the arrows had been replaced by bowl-sized rocks by the Feitian Army. They first upgraded the Feitian Shenzhou
It reaches a height that even a giant crossbow cannot shoot, and then rains stones from the sky. The stones falling from the sky, after accelerating at high altitude, are more powerful than arrows. If they hit a person's body, they will cause skin and flesh to be torn apart, and muscles and bones to be broken.
, or even the forehead will be broken. Even if you have a helmet, you can't prevent the residual power. If the wind blows towards Luoxian County, then they will drop lime powder from the upper wind. What is even more disgusting is to drop human and animal excrement into the military camp in the city, falling from the sky.
The feces and urine of the soldiers made the military camp stinky. If it hit people, let alone the smell. In short, every conceivable dirty idea was used by the Feitian Army on the Tang Army, making the Tang Army in Luo County miserable.
Yesterday evening, 20,000 Tubo troops took advantage of the Sui army's retreat and rushed out of the city under the leadership of their commander Niang Shang Nang. They expected to catch the Sui army off guard, but unexpectedly Yang Tong had been guarding against this cavalry.
, when they dispersed the siege slaves and reached the middle of the Sui army, thousands of honeycomb crossbows were waiting in full force to annihilate them all under the city of Luoxian County. The corpses outside the city were yesterday's masterpiece. The ground collapsed that day.
The power produced by ordinary crossbows was not only as simple as killing the Tibetan army, but also made the defenders in the city feel helpless and unable to resist, which gave rise to the emotions of war weariness and fear of war.
At this time, Changsun Shunde heard that the enemy troops were coming to attack the city again. He immediately put on rain gear to protect him from airdrops. He rushed to the city and urgently mobilized 10,000 troops to defend the city. When he heard that the rolling logs and stones were very expensive,
, nearly exhausted, they ordered all the houses near the city wall to be demolished, and the bricks, wood and stones obtained were used to defend the city. The beams were sawn and used as rolling logs, and the stones for the foundation were also pried up by soldiers and then moved up.
The city must be at the stone.
At the hour of the hour, the drums of "Dong! Dong! Dong" sounded loudly, and the low sound of horns resounded throughout the land. More than 20,000 Sui Dynasty slave soldiers rushed to the city like a tide. They held shields in their hands and carried hundreds of towers several feet high.
Climbing the city ladder, everyone fought bravely to be the first, shouting to kill Zhentian.
They first used wooden planks to cross the moat and act as a bridge. They did not conduct any probing attacks at all, and directly launched a fierce attack.
The Tang army's arrows on the city were like a torrential rain, and they shot at the slave soldiers intensively. Although the slave soldiers were also protected by shields, the army was too dense and they were still shot down by large pieces. The iron hooks on hundreds of city ladders hooked on the wall stacks, and the slave soldiers were shot down.
The vanguard climbed up to attack, and large rocks and wood fell like hailstones. Strings of slave soldiers were hit, screaming and rolling down from the siege ladder, but new slave soldiers climbed onto the city to attack.
The flying Shenzhou in the sky and the catapults behind the slave soldiers also began to enter the battle. The overwhelming stones mixed with the black rain of arrows fell down. The Tang army at the head of the city was suppressed and could only hide under the shields or towers. The sparse counterattack was weak.
In fact, the outcome of the war seemed to have been announced the moment Yang Tong decided to launch a general offensive.
The siege was fought fiercely, with arrows flying and corpses piled up. Both sides invested heavy troops in the battle.
Under the all-round attack by the siege force composed of the flying army, city-breaking crossbows, various siege equipment, elite shooters and slave soldiers, even the reserve army joined in, but it did not help the battle situation much. The siege vehicles
Less than a quarter of an hour after the battle started, he successfully rushed to the city gate and started frantically knocking on the door.
At this time, a dangerous situation appeared in the North City. Under the cover of the sky and the ground, the first batch of slave soldiers had already rushed to the top of the city and began to fight fiercely with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. More and more slave soldiers rushed to the top of the city. The situation in the North City was extremely critical.
Changsun Shunde's soldiers roared loudly, rushed into the enemy group at full speed, and started a bloody battle with the slave soldiers.
Changsun Shunde roared and raised a huge boulder, slamming it down towards the city gate. A siege vehicle was directly smashed by the boulder, and several siege slaves who could not avoid it were smashed into pulp.
The arrows that followed turned the siege soldiers who had lost their shelter into hedgehogs.
However, the scrapped siege vehicle was quickly pushed away, and two more siege vehicles were pushed forward and began to hit the city gate crazily.
Changsun Shunde was about to follow suit when he was thrown to the ground by a Tang army soldier. Dozens of spear-like arrows shot through the air, pinning dozens of Tang soldiers around them to the broken tower.
superior.
Jinghuan also arrived with the help of slave soldiers. Jinghuan was much higher than the city wall of Luoxian County. The crossbowmen on top started to suppress the Tang army soldiers on the wall. At the same time, the catapults also began to attack. It was the Tang army.
The soldiers were also very brave, but faced with the endless siege equipment of the Sui army and the suppression of the Feitian Army from the sky, they were unable to resist. They watched helplessly as one siege ladder after another was put up on the city wall. A slave soldier fought for
After breaking away from their slave status and acquiring the nationality of the Sui people, they all rushed to the top of the city without fear of death and fought with the Tang troops defending the city.
"Drive them down! Drive them all down!" Commander Dou Gui also walked on the city wall with a sword, swinging his sword crazily to kill the two slave soldiers who had just come up. He did not expect the Sui army to attack the city today.
It would be so fast and violent. With these siege weapons and the suppression of the Feitian Army, the Tang army defending the city could not take advantage of the advantage of defending the city. They were killed by slave soldiers on the city wall before they could hold out for an hour.
Now that things have come to this, the only option is to fight to the end
However, the Hundred-War Army led by Yang Tong has not yet been dispatched. The Tang Army only faced alien slave soldiers. When the Tang Army soldiers lost the advantage of the city wall, the level of combat effectiveness was immediately clear. Often one slave soldier could kill two to three soldiers.
This soldier of the Tang Army had such a fierce and fearless aura that even Dou Gui, let alone an ordinary soldier, would feel terrified. If the most powerful First Army had come to kill him, the result would have been even more brutal.
And as more and more slave soldiers climbed up the city wall, the Tang army's shortcomings of insufficient combat power, low morale, and poor equipment became more apparent. Most of the slave soldiers sent by Yang Tong this time were in the war.
The capable soldiers who were eliminated were only one step away from becoming the people of the Sui Dynasty. After many years of training, these people in the Sui army also knew some joint attack techniques. There were often three or five people occupying a section of the city wall to support more soldiers on the city.
Therefore, no matter how loudly Dou Gui broke his throat, the Tang army's space for movement continued to be lost.
"Kill, kill." At this time, a violent roar sounded not far from him.
But Changsun Shunde saw his own soldiers being killed by the enemy one after another, and let out an angry roar. He was like a whirlwind, killing back and forth among the crowd. Wherever he passed, even the slave soldiers who had gathered together were killed.
Hard to resist.
"Is this person Changsun Shunde?" Yang Tong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Fang Xuanling, and Ling Jing stood side by side, each using a telescope to watch the battle on the city. Since the Tang army on the city wall was almost completely defeated, Changsun Shunde looked particularly dazzling.
Although Changsun Shunde was Changsun Wugou's clan uncle, Yang Tong didn't know him, so he asked.
"It's him. Changsun Shunde is the son of Changsun Kai and the younger brother of General Changsun Sheng. He is also a brave general." Ling Jing, who was in charge of the situation, introduced: "He served in Youxunwei during the Daye period.
In order to avoid the Battle of Goguryeo launched by the late emperor, Changsun Shunde fled to Taiyuan City and was taken in as a retainer by Li Yuan. Together with Liu Hongji, Liu Wenjing and others, Li Yuan secretly recruited troops and trained them. It was precisely because of their help that Li Yuan rebelled.
So many elite soldiers."
"Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan, Yu Zhining and others are all dead. He is too lonely to live alone." Yang Tong put down the telescope and said calmly: "Send him to hell."
"Your Majesty, please leave this person to the last general!" Pei Xingyan put the bright silver hammer on his back and rode towards the city wall.
At this time, the Tang army was suppressed by the slave soldiers and was unable to take care of the city. However, Pei Xing was like a cheetah. He rushed up the city wall along the siege ladder, and saw Changsun Shunde stabbing a slave.
The soldier hacked him to death, and the one with the sword on his right and the hammer on his left killed him.
A terrifying pressure that he had never experienced before made Changsun Shunde freeze. He subconsciously turned his head to look, but saw a figure with strong skills rushing towards him. The violent momentum made Changsun Shunde's scalp numb, and he quickly raised his two swords.
Holding the hammer against the head.
There was a loud "dang" sound, and terrifying force came from the two swords. Changsun Shunde knelt down on one knee with a pop and looked at Pei Xingyan with red eyes. Among the generals of the Tang army, he was also a powerful general, but
Unexpectedly, the general hit him so hard that he fell to his knees.
"Something good!" Pei Xingyan praised, and then hit him with another hammer.
Changsun Shunde let out a loud roar and raised his knife to block it again.
"Dang" there was another loud noise, Changsun Shunde's tiger's mouth cracked, and a conspicuous gap appeared in the two swords in his hand.
"Suffer death!" Pei Xingyan hit him ten times with a "dang, dang, dang," sound. Changsun Shunde just knelt on the ground, folded his two knives in front of him, and blocked the ten hammers forcefully. His body was pushed on the ground
He stepped back more than ten steps, and as the last hammer fell, the two knives responded with a sound.
Pei Xingyan put away his hammer and stood up. When he looked at Changsun Shunde again, he saw that his eyes were wide open, his orifices were bleeding, and he was silent. He was shocked to death by him!
"What a good man, but his vision is not very good, and he actually followed a big rebel." Pei Xingyan shook his head.
The few remaining soldiers of Changsun Shunde saw their leader dying in battle, and they all rushed towards Pei Xingyan like crazy.
"Looking for death." Pei Xingyan laughed ferociously and swung his sword and hammer away. These more than thirty capable soldiers of the Tang Army were killed by Pei Xingyan to a river of blood in a matter of seconds. The other soldiers of the Tang Army were timid and did not care when they saw Pei Xingyan.
He looked at himself kindly, shouted, and ran away completely.
The Tang army was already in decline. Changsun Shunde only relied on his personal bravery to control the situation. Now he forced Pei Xingyan to death. How could he still be the opponent of the slave soldiers? It didn't last long before they were defeated at the bottom of the city, and the city gate was also at this time.
After being knocked away, an endless stream of Sui troops poured into the city.
.....
"Don't retreat, don't retreat! We can still fight again." Dou Gui, covered in blood, stood on the top of the city and beheaded more than a dozen deserters.
However, the already low morale of the Tang army became even more sluggish as Pei Xingyan led his troops to attack the city tower and the city gate was breached. Even if Dou Gui ordered his personal guards to kill the deserters, they could not stop the collapse of the Tang army's deserters.
Dou Gui grabbed a general who was escaping and roared with red eyes: "As a member of the Li clan, why do you have to run away?"
"Prime Minister, I..." The general was about to say something, but Dou Gui's sword had already pierced his chest and abdomen.
"Cowards, you are all cowards who betray the country..." Dou Gui drew out his sword from the general's chest and slashed more than a dozen soldiers who were kneeling in surrender, sweeping them all around. At this time, the Tang army on the top of the city was
Among the soldiers, he was the only one still standing, while the rest were kneeling beside the battlements with empty hands.
When the surrounding Tang soldiers saw that Dou Gui was crazy, they all hid far away.
When Yang Tong, Luo Shixin, Fang Xuanling, Ling Jing and others led a group of Xuanjia troops to the top of the city, they saw the disheveled Dou Gui chasing down several Tang army generals, while the Sui army led by Pei Xingyan,
To be continued...
