Chapter 807 The Reputation of the Tang Dynasty (Part 2)
For war madmen, three days of preparation time is a torment. No one can stand this kind of days when they are clearly ready, but they have to shrink into a piece of Green State to wait for time.
So on the second day after the combat meeting, all kinds of horses were sprinkled out, and the morning of the third day, all the things like drinking water were collected and the next day were taken, and then the time was counted.
"Xuance, can't you set out one day early? Why do you have to three days?" Yuchi Baolin hung all over his body, and was impatiently circling in the big tent.
"The army is prohibited in rescuing orders, and everything is based on military orders. Three days are to hone their temperaments and prevent them from being too excited and erratic on the battlefield." Wang Xuance was holding a bowl of tea and drinking slowly, looking like he was not in a hurry at all.
The water quality here in Luzhou is good, and the tea brewed has a unique flavor. I don’t know when I will be able to drink it again after I leave this time.
Time passed little by little, and under the anticipation of everyone, a ray of dawn of the fourth day finally appeared on the horizon in the east.
"Woo..." The low and powerful horn sounds formed in Ruoda's military camp. The 15,000 army that had been waiting for several days rushed out of the camp like a tide at the command of Yuchi Baolin, and rushed out of the camp in three directions towards the southeast of Luzhou.
The purpose of the Western Regions Legion is very simple. To eliminate all enemies in front of you, to kill gods when you meet gods, and to kill Buddha when you meet Buddhas, they will never have "friends" in the Western Regions. Instead of smilingly greeting people and being betrayed in the end, it is better to take action first and beat them directly and let them consider the consequences before betraying them.
Three large armies emerged from Green State and appeared in front of everyone again, but unlike in the past, the Tang army this time became extremely fierce.
"Let the king of Pishan Kingdom come out and answer!" The first cavalry brigade led by Tuobamuya blocked outside the main city of Pishan Kingdom. A brave general rode out and shouted loudly under the city.
"The Tang general under the city, our country's king has gone to Yutian, please..." The Pishan guards on the top of the city looked at the more than 5,000 elite Tang knights outside, and their scalp was faintly numb. They didn't know why these guys who were supposed to attack Yutian turned to Pishan.
"Then find someone who can make the decision and speak." Chen Chi (played by book friend Wuxi) controlled a somewhat restless mount and walked back and forth behind the city wall, as if he would not ask anyone to come out and I would go in.
"The king of Pishan took him and took his ministers to Khotan. There was really no one in the kingdom who could make the decision." The guards of Pishan were almost crying, and cursed all the eighteen generations of Pishan's ancestors in their hearts.
This damn guy, after receiving the secret letter from Yutian, he dared not come out to meet people now, so he made himself a general who commanded a thousand men to come out to fight against more than 5,000 people in the Tang Dynasty. Is this something that people can do?
If I had known this, I wouldn't take on this job at the beginning, and I would have hid in the city and enjoyed the time here.
"Then open the city gate! I want to go in and search!" Chen Chi, no matter what the guard of Pishan thought, for this small country with a city of only two feet high, a five thousand army could step it into powder in one day.
"This..." The guard of Pishan hesitated for a moment.
Although the two-meter-long city wall is not high, it is somewhat of a psychological comfort. But if you open the city gate and put these Tang troops like wolves and tigers into the city, wouldn’t that be allowed to be meat from mermaids?
"With more than ten, I won't open the city again. When our army breaks through the city, the whole city will be slaughtered!" After more than a year of holding back, the "horse thief" on the grassland who has been a gentleman for more than a year has finally recovered his nature. Although wearing the armor of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to change the "thief" nature that has been immersed in the bones.
"No, no!" Looking at the several crossbows being dragged up from behind, and the five thousand troops who were ready to attack at all times when taking off the bow and arrow, the guard of Pishan was a little confused. He didn't know how to deal with such a thing, and just kept waving his hands.
"Kill..." Takubaki Ya is not a fool. The guard general who delayed so much, knew that there must be something strange about it. He simply waved his hand and issued an offensive order without waiting for a "tenth of" one.
"Yu...Yuyou..." With the order, the military formation of more than 5,000 people immediately scattered like a honeycomb that had been exploded, and rode a horse around the main city of Pishan Kingdom, shooting towards the city with a bow and arrow in his hand.
"No...ah!" The guard watched the Tang army's cavalry go out everywhere, and immediately knew that it was not good. It was too late to say anything to save the situation. The three-edged arrow with the black arrow had already penetrated his chest with the sound of howling wind.
"Tang Dynasty... Ten Thousand Victories! Kill!" A arrow shot to death of the general defending the city. Chen Chi raised the big bow in his hand, making a meaningless shouting sound from his mouth, and began to circle around the city wall, but when he saw someone coming out, he was an arrow.
"Assiege!" Seeing that the defenders had been forced to the city wall, Takubamumi issued an order to attack the general.
"Bang bang..." Several sounds of bowstrings on the bed, and the crossbow guns as thick as wrists roared into the not-so-solid city wall.
"Kill..., the Tang Dynasty won thousands of victories!" With a sense of fanaticism, the remaining three thousand people in the military formation charged towards the city wall with wooden shields.
The low earth wall has no protective ability. Facing a crossbow, it will soon be nailed like a hedgehog. A height of two feet (six meters) is not too difficult for well-trained soldiers. It only takes a few climbs and jumps to climb to the top of the city in two or three breaths.
Death? Injury? Of course, these will happen, but when people fall into fanaticism, death and injury are not a problem.
One person will compensate ten jin of money, and the family can get the identity of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Such pensions are enough to make these herdsmen struggling on the brink of life and death sacrifice their lives.
Anyway, even if you don’t die under the enemy’s sword, you will die in natural disasters and man-made disasters in the future. You can exchange a bad life for some money, and at the same time give your family a stable living environment. Why not do it?
Of course, according to the military laws of the Tang Dynasty, the punishment for retreating without the former is also quite serious. The sword of Damocles hanging on the heads of soldiers is also slightest. As long as you have the intention to retreat, those harsh military laws will immediately remind them how terrible the consequences are.
And the main problem is that anyway, they all die. If they retreat and die, they will not only not receive pensions, but even their family members will not be able to raise their heads. This is especially true for those aliens who advocate bravery. If someone retreats, even if they don’t chop off his head, the ridicule and contempt of their companions will be difficult to accept.
