Chapter 1007 Shadow of the famous tree
Boom! Boom!
Every time the sound sounds, it's like thunder!
Usman widened his eyes, and he couldn't believe what he saw. He saw a fire coming out of the cylinder, like a lightning bolt, tearing apart the night sky. The huge fire burst out, in the shape of an awl. A piece of enemy troops fell in response to the sound, blurred flesh and blood, and extremely miserable death, like a purgatory on earth!
Except for the people brought by Li Mu, everyone, whether they were defenders or enemies, was confused by the scene in front of them.
What is this? Killing is like mowing grass?!
Someone remembered the legend of Changshengtian! Fear spread among the Turkic army. It must have been Ashimu who asked the woman to attack the city, angering Changshengtian. Therefore, Changshengtian gave a divine punishment, which must be like this!
People have instinctive fear when facing unknown things. Even though these Turkic cavalry have been trained to become killing machines, they are still afraid of them when facing the tiger cannon that is as powerful as the heavens.
What they didn't know was that if the tiger cannon was filled once, it would require three people to cooperate. In fact, the gap in filling gunpowder was enough to make them kill. Although Li Mu must have a second move, if they could rush up without fear of death and rush up regardless of the situation, perhaps there might be a chance.
But they hesitated and there were no more opportunities.
The second round of cannons fired, and this time, the landing point of the shell was even further backward. The Turkic cavalry, who had not yet reacted, only saw countless iron filings and flying sand splashing, and then they lost consciousness. Countless iron filings instantly knocked their bodies into sieves!
Wherever I saw, the surroundings were already bright as daylight. The fire rains caused by the explosion splashed everywhere, and the fires soared into the sky. There were shrill roars and desperate shouts everywhere, fire everywhere, residual limbs, and blood.
The situation reversed instantly, and outside the city had become a hell on earth. The smell of burnt meat was filled with the air, which was disgusting.
There was nowhere to escape, and there were corpses everywhere, which prevented the Turkic army from turning around. The chaos caused each other to trampled on each other, and they were directly trampled to death! The frightened horses ran around like crazy, knocking people over without restraint. The horse's hooves trampled over the unscathed person, causing the second and third damage.
The people who were ignited by the fire resounded through the night sky, and they ran around, trying to save themselves, but when they approached others, they often hugged and burned together.
Everyone just escaped like a headless fly, but in the end, no one could escape the bad luck.
Ashimu held the hilt of the scimitar in his hand and stared at everything in front of him.
He was completely confused.
The city is about to be broken, what's wrong, why is this happening?!
Could it be that Changshengtian is really angry?
He didn't have time to think about it because he suddenly realized that no matter whether Changshengtian was angry or not, his life seemed to be unable to be saved.
Thousands of Turkic elites who were siegeing the city were wiped out in the blink of an eye. Thinking about the military order he made, Ashimu laughed terrified. He knew that the only thing waiting for him was death!
He drew out the scimitar, with a decisive look in his eyes.
"kill!"
Each person rode, and before everyone could react, he rushed towards the top of Kucha City in shock.
With a thunderous sound, Ashimu was hit by a shell.
He instantly understood what he had just seen, and he also understood what his subordinates had experienced.
The power of divine punishment is by no means something humans can compete with.
Ashimubi opened his arms and waved his scimitar to charge. At this moment, his whole body was shaking. The iron splashed by the shells made half of his face bumpy, and black smoke was still coming from his head. One eye fell directly, white juice flowed out of his eyes, and a uh ah sound from his mouth.
Then, the body, which was like an iron tower, twitched and fell to the ground.
Before he could extinguish his anger, his body was still twitching, and bullet holes were covered with blood.
Unwillingly, Ashimu tried hard to open his only eyes! What he saw was the bloody sky, with shrill roars and desperate shouts everywhere, fire, residual limbs, blood, and severe pain, causing him to spit out blood from his mouth, but at this time, no one cared about him anymore.
When death came before us, Ashimu let out a series of wails in pain. The past of life passed by like a slide, and memories from childhood to adulthood flashed rapidly.
A bossless war horse ran towards him in panic, and the horse's hooves slashed and directly stepped on Ashimu's belly.
"Uh..." Ashimu let out a last muffled groan and spurted out an old blood!
At this time... not only was he burned most of his body, his body was full of holes, his eyes and nose were gone, and his ribs were broken many times. Now... he had his intestines pierced and his stomach was rotten. He made an unwilling voice, and finally he was in a state of extinction under the torture-like bloody sky.
The fire burned outside the city for a whole night, and all the Turks watched how their compatriots died tragically, but none of them dared to come forward.
They were already scared.
When there was finally nothing to burn, the fire gradually faded, and the entire sky was covered with a layer of burnt dust. The dust slowly spilled like rain, so that the nearby land also had a layer of ashes.
It's dawn.
...
What the hell is going on!
The fire burned all night, and Tong'e stared all night!
But he thought about it and couldn't figure out why. Why has his son all reached the top of the city and suddenly the situation reversed!
If the Kucha people had this move, why didn’t they take it out earlier? Why did they show their last killing weapon after more than half of their casualties?
There is no such thing in war!
"Is there any..." Tong'e's voice was so hoarse that it was almost impossible to hear clearly. The personal soldiers had to approach: "...I have escaped, ask clearly, what's going on!"
Before he finished speaking, before the personal soldiers came out of the tent, he saw that outside the tent, several personal soldiers were holding a dying person, covered in blood, half of his face was burnt, and only one breath was left of Turkic cavalry.
"Shanks..." The Turkic cavalry shed tears before she could speak, and she burst into tears.
Tong'e was also sad. He knew that he had no reason to blame the pitiful person in front of him. They were not unafraid, but this was not a crime of war!
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Report to the Khan." The cavalry paused word by word, used up all the remaining vitality, and tried to make it clear: "The Tang army has arrived, and it is on the top of the city, yes..."
"What? What did you say?!" Tong'e saw the man rolling his eyes and grabbed his shoulder and shouted: "Who is on the top of the city? Tell me quickly!"
"Li, Li...mu,"
After the last word, the Turkic cavalry was extremely energetic!
"What? What did you say?!"
Tong E was shocked when she heard this and jumped into the foot and asked, "Didn't the Tang army arrive at midnight? How did they get there?"
But this cavalry could no longer answer him.
Tong'e asked several times before she could barely come to her senses. He let go of the cavalry that had no breath, waved his hand, and took the personal soldiers down.
"You... go in person to see if Li Mu is here. Is the fire last night related to him?" Tong'e hissed and said to the captain of the personal soldiers beside her: "Ask the scouts, what are they doing for food? Why did the Tang army come to help? No one noticed it!"
Although Tong'e has always despised the Tang army in words, in fact, he has already made complete preparations. This time, the warning range was unprecedented in combat against Tang. The scouts released 200 people. When the enemy was eighty miles away, they should be able to report to the commander. Seeing that the captain of the personal soldiers hesitated, Tong'e angrily drew out the scimitar: "Why don't you move? Are you afraid?"
"Khan, let's go now...this is it," 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 now everyone regards the sound of cannons as the anger of Changshengtian, and cannot tolerate him not being afraid.
The Turkic warriors were not afraid of death because of the belief of Changshengtian. Those who are loyal to Changshengtian can reach the Pure Land even if they die in battle. But now Changshengtian is angry. If they die, they will not only not be favored by Changshengtian, but may suffer endless pain. How can he not be afraid?
Li Mu never expected that a shelling attack would have become a "spiritual blow" by chance and achieved unexpected results. The collapse of the Turkic military morale began at this time.
...
Yesterday, the cannon sound stopped, and Li Mu got off the city. He was very confident in his cannon. In this era of cold weapons, the tiger cannon was like a dimensional reduction attack. He did not believe that the Turks could be so brave that they ignored the shells and filled the shells with their lives.
What's more, in order to prevent the Turks from rushing up while filling the cannon, Li Mu brought all the inventory of crossbows this time. In a scene like a city defense battle, crossbows do not need to be aimed at shooting. As long as there are sufficient crossbow arrows, people can be harvested infinitely.
This was originally an unfair battle, and everything before was laid out to get here smoothly.
After a good night of sleep, it was bright and Li Mu woke up. The chef who followed the army had already prepared a steaming breakfast. Li Mu drank a bowl of porridge with a bowl of porridge. Seeing Usman coming in, he pointed to the porridge in front of him and said, "Come on, a whole bowl."
When Usman saw Li Mu so close to him, his heart felt warm. He felt that his efforts were not in vain. This time, his performance made him truly enter the circle around Li Mu. From now on, he will no longer be an outsider.
"Marty, the Turks sent scouts to visit." Usman served a bowl of porridge and drank it in two gulp. He was indeed hungry. In order to prepare to defend the city these days, he couldn't eat or sleep. When Li Mu came last night, he had only been sleeping for an hour and a half, and he got on the city again early in the morning.
"Do you want to shoot them?"
"No need," Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Why do you need to commit murder? You send someone to shout on the city wall and tell the Turks that the Turks are betrayal, but our Tang Dynasty cannot be unrighteous. If the Turks can stop their horses and withdraw their troops before dusk tonight and send 10,000 cattle and sheep as a reward, then this matter will be revealed, and the two countries will still be brothers in the future. The damage caused by the Turks to the Western Regions will be borne by the Tang Dynasty. But if they do not know how to raise their qualities and refuse to withdraw their troops, it is equivalent to declaring war. Just say, what Li Mu said, I, you will be with the dog head of E in the next battle!"
Usman's excited heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he wanted this sentence: "I understand, let me tell them now!"
"etc!"
Li Mu stopped him and said, "Tell them to the countries in the Western Regions and tell them that Tian Khan has never forgotten the people of the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty's commitment to the countries is still effective. Those who are interested in the Tang Dynasty will be protected by the Tang Dynasty. Those who are ill-hearted will be punished even if they are far away."
...
Inside the Turkic King's Treasure.
"…That's what the opposite one shouts."
The captain of the personal soldiers repeated the words, Tong E signaled him to get up and asked, "Are you sure that the soldiers on the opposite city wall were brought by Li Mu? Could it be a bluff?"
"If you are going back to the Great Sweat, it shouldn't be. The original defenders, who fought with us for many days, were exhausted. Now the defenders on the city are all energetic and look no more tired. Moreover, the flag on the city is replaced by a black-bottomed Chu Huangyun dragon 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 is not allowed to be used by others."
When Tong'e heard this, she knew that it must be Li Mu. He had seen Li Mu from afar with Nishu, and he knew Li Mu's Yunlong Banner.
At that time, Tong'e looked at Li Mu from afar and felt fear in his heart. His fear originated from Li Mu's magic. The last time the Western Turks marched eastward and Tuyuhun and other countries invaded the border, the situation of the Tang Dynasty was even more critical than it is now, but Li Mu resolving the crisis based on his various magical and luck. At that time, Li Mu stood on the high platform and gave admonitions to the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, what a glory it was.
Turning the passive situation into an active and returning to the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty has completely mastered the Silk Road since then...
If it weren't for this, Tong'e wouldn't have been to the east once he became a Khan. It would be 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 brotherhood should be? The strength determines everything. Sooner or later, the Turks would become the countries in the Western Regions, and they could only pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.
If you want to change your destiny, you only have this opportunity. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty went to the east to fight Goguryeo and took advantage of the emptiness within them to fight this battle.
If everything goes well, it is better to take down Hetao and annex the Eastern Turks. But if it doesn't work, it will be considered as the goal of breaking the Dingxiang Protectorate. As long as the Tang Dynasty's feet in the Western Regions are destroyed, the countries in the Western Regions will still live under the threat of the Western Turks. This is also the capital for the Western Turks to live with the Tang Dynasty in the same place.
Tong'e didn't think he had done anything wrong. As a great khan of the Western Turks, he had to do this for his own tribe. He was not a greedy man. The countries he destroyed along the way were all loyal dogs of the Tang Dynasty. Only by destroying them can he be powerful in the Western Regions and make other countries afraid.
But he didn't expect that he would die before he could succeed. Li Mu's magic weapon came from the sky, and with just one move, he defeated the most elite Turkic warriors.
