After all, the Jiannan Pioneer Army and the main army were not far away. As soon as the vanguard army was attacked, the main army commanded by the Jiannan Jiedushi Li Xianyu immediately noticed a strange situation. As the emergency military situation came, Li Xianyu immediately dispatched 10,000 cavalry to rush to aid.
But these 10,000 cavalry were soon blocked by giant beasts.
In the darkness, there were giant beasts rushing in front of me, with huge palm-shaped fan-like wings on the back. As I was running, smoke and dust surged behind me, and there were sounds of squirting around me.
The arrows shot at these giant beasts, but they were only violent, as if they could not even penetrate the skin.
When several practitioners sneaked up, they found that the giant beast blocking the road was just some sturdy buffaloes. They were covered with wet vine armor and were tied with large banana leaves on their backs to form a fan shape. The ox behind them was tied with ropes, and the rope dragged branches and dead grass.
I don't know the reason for these manic running back and forth, but it seems that it is caused by herbal stimulation.
Bai Man here is good at doing such things.
The cavalry, who had been blocked for a long time, were so angry that they were filled with smoke. When they slaughtered all the buffaloes like venting their anger and rushed to the vanguard's camp, what they saw in front of them made their hair stand up.
The entire camp was full of headless corpses, and the heads of the eight thousand vanguards were cut off, lying on the ground like firewood.
Only at the gate of the camp was half a body hanging, with a head on the upper body, was Huang Tianyun, the commander of the vanguard army.
The eyes of these ten thousand cavalrymen were red, but in the dark, facing the enemies who could strangle the eight thousand vanguard troops, they did not dare to act rashly. They were just prepared to retreat at any time and sent several small groups of cavalry to patrol outside.
When the news reached the main army, Li Xianyu was furious and immediately ordered the entire army to advance at full speed after the sunrise to attack Taihe City.
Eight thousand people were attacked and killed by the stolen camp. All the eight thousand Tang troops except the chief generals were cut off. They have never had such a defeat since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. This battle may be kept in history.
All of Li Xianyu's generals had their eyes burned by hatred, and no one questioned or stopped Li Xianyu's decision.
In the morning light, the Jiannan army rushed over like a vast crowd, and the drums were sounding loudly, and even the verbal battle was eliminated. A large number of soldiers holding thick shields approached the city wall with a ladder. Behind the arrows were shooting continuously at the top of the city wall in stairs.
However, the ladder had just been put on the city wall, and there was a burst of crossbows on the walls of Taihe City and inside the city wall. The Tang army siege instantly fell down one after another, and even the soldiers holding shields were killed or injured.
"My grass!"
The commander of the Arrow Commander Zhang Qianhe first saw something wrong.
The space behind the wall of Taihe City seems to be small, and there are not many people and things in a small area. However, according to the appearance of the crossbow arrow, there are obviously ladders built along the mountain behind the wall!
The terraced terraces are not planted crops, but a large number of crossbows have long been arranged.
If it weren't for this kind of crossbow, it would be impossible for even the soldiers holding thick shields to resist in an instant.
"The city wall is surrounded by terraces? The back of the city wall is equivalent to the natural platform of a crossbow?"
The reactions of some generals around Li Xianyu were only half a beat slower than Zhang Qianhe.
These people all had some ominous premonitions, but Li Xianyu was furious and ordered the soldiers behind to move forward bravely. Naturally, these people did not dare to speak out and lose the morale of the army.
The previous winning streak originally made this army not take Nanzhao's army seriously. Even if the entire vanguard army was destroyed, most of the soldiers just felt that they were being attacked. They didn't have much fear in their minds, especially looking at the dead partners under the city walls, they rushed forward fearlessly.
But in just a dozen breaths, the archers who were rushing the bowstrings toward the city wall and behind the city wall were completely suppressed by the rain of arrows shot out from the city.
The Pi Hetuo army in Taihe City not only has the advantage of terrain, but also the number of archers and crossbows is also amazing. The Tang army rushed forward with fearless fear of death and did not many, but there were not many, which rushed under the city wall.
"Li Shuai, something is wrong!"
Zhang Qianhe rushed to Li Xianyu. His archer was killed by eight out of ten. The rush of blood and blood made his eyes turn black. "There were so many crossbows in Taihe City. It would be fine if the cavalry was wandering on the flanks, so these crossbows could not cause great damage. But now there are ladders in the city that have been prepared long ago and the layout of the crossbows is not large outside the city wall. The crossbows have been adjusted in advance. There are no adjustments now. Every batch of crossbows can cause a large amount of damage. Now Taihe City is like a cow that dives towards us, and the horns are facing us. If we attack like this, the casualties will be very shocking."
Li Xianyu's handsome face was also a little distorted, and the casualties also made his heart twitch, but at this time he was like a wolf with red eyes, and he didn't want to stop siege the city or make any more conspiracy. He shouted loudly: "The one who is strong in Pi He is not the arrow army, but the heavy cavalry! How many arrows can they have? As long as they can attack the city, these heavy cavalry will not have any effect at all. After we monks enter, they will set fire while killing, squeeze these heavy cavalry in a narrow area, and burn them to death!"
Even Zhang Qianhe couldn't find a reason to refute.
War itself is about to die.
Even if many people are killed or injured first, as long as the plan is right, the death and injury will be small in the future, and it will be the enemy's turn to suffer a large number of casualties.
According to any veteran, there is no problem with Li Xianyu's strategy.
As long as the arrows in the city were consumed almost the same, the Tang army rushed in and could curb Pi Hetuo's heavy cavalry to the greatest extent.
"kill!"
"Kill into the city! Skin the skin of He Tuo alive!"
Amid the thunderous war drums, the Jiannan army rushed towards Taihe City in a more rapid manner.
But there was no sign of exhaustion in the arrows in Taihe City.
No soldiers even emerged on the city walls, and did not spend any effort to smash the rolling stones or heavy woods. Only the arrows were constantly shooting and the crossbows were constantly inspiring.
The bodies of the Tang army outside Taihe City quickly piled up, and the casualties exceeded the number of vanguard troops last night.
Even Li Xianyu's deputy general, Li Yutong, who is also the Li family, couldn't sit still.
He arrived beside Li Xianyu and said, "Master, it was definitely an illusion for this Skin Hetuo to throw away his armor and armor before. He had long wanted to put this decisive battle place in Taihe City. The number of crossbows and arrows here must be amazing. It must be all the cities that could be taken away by the previous ones, and they were arranged early. This Taihe City is like the sharpest spear tip of Nanzhao. It is really unwise for us to choose to continue to attack!"
The battle has come to this point, and any veteran who has been through the battle formation has also become clear-headed.
In war, we should pay attention to courage and we should not be afraid of death, but we should not act recklessly like this, and we should not fill our lives in the most powerful places where the opponent's defense is.
Simply put, the other party dug a deep pit covered with the tip of the knife and couldn't just jump into it.
However, loyal words have always been unpleasant, not to mention that Li Yutong has no skills in speaking, so he honestly added a sentence later, which is really unwise.
The things he mentioned earlier that he lost his helmet and armor, and that he lost dozens of large and small cities were illusory, which was equivalent to denying Li Xianyu's achievements in so many days in public.
It falls into Li Xianyu's ears, it's equivalent to, Oh, we've been fooled. Those cities were not captured by us, but were given to you by Pi Hetuo. They were baits that specially seduced you here to attack.
And the last sentence is really unwise, and it falls into Li Xianyu's ears. At this time, it is equivalent to a sentence, are you a pig? You are so stupid, can't you tell me? Still keeping your hands?
Li Xianyu was already blushing and had a ferocious face. When he heard this, the blood on his forehead suddenly burst out, and the corners of his eyes were almost glaring.
No matter how bad I am, even if so many people died in battle, my strength is almost twice that of his!
One general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven!
Even if there are many people who die, as long as this battle can be won as soon as possible, the chaos will be quelled after half a month. Then there will be only praise in history in the future!
"attack!"
"Attack me!"
Instead of calling for a order to retreat, he yelled, "If anyone retreats without following the military order, behead them!"
Military orders are like mountains!
The Tang army had such a spirit. Even if the commander issued a military order like the commander issued a Zhu, as long as the commander was still in the position of the commander, the commander issued a military order must be implemented.
Li Yutong took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
He saw waves of soldiers rushing towards the city wall, but they fell down one after another and piled up under the city wall.
Behind the city gate, a few people sat down on the chairs outside the range of Tang Jun's arrows.
A Nanzhao general with disheveled hair, a face painted with ghostly talismans, and some tiny blue jade embedded in the flesh and blood looked at the Tang army who were going to die and said mockingly, "Are these Tang people stupid?"
Pi Hetao beside him sneered with a gloomy face and said, "It's not that I'm stupid, I just want to be face-saving. They look down on us from the bottom of their hearts. As long as they can win, what's the face? Have the heads taken back last night been prepared?"
A short man in casual clothes on his right smiled, "The face was covered with dyes and greetings from their families."
"You check it carefully immediately. Don't insult them. No one should be missed. You must leave some way out when doing things." Pi Hetuo said, "After the inspection, their offensive will be slowed down a little later, and they will throw these heads with a stone-throwing cart."
"By the way, write more words to scold Li Xianyu, so he can't help it after reading it, like a mad dog." Pi Hetuo looked at the man who had just sat down and stood up to work, and said another sentence.
The man agreed with a smile.
The Nanzhao general with disheveled hair and a ghostly talisman on his face asked again, "When will we rush out and kill you?"
