(second update)

The Tang soldiers mustered up the courage to pounce on them and resisted tenaciously, but their equipment and training were far inferior to the Anxi Death Soldiers.

The armor of Anxi Death Soldier weighs more than fifty kilograms, and even the Modao Army under Chen Ying will be inferior to him. The equipment of ordinary Tang soldiers can only be death if they go up. For an army like Anxi Death Soldier, the only way is to use thick maces, giant axes, hammers and other blunt weapons. However, Li Daozong does not have such equipment.

In order to defend the city gate, the soldiers of the Liangzhou defenders could only resist with their flesh and blood.

The Anxi Death Soldiers continued to advance, and the Tang army was stabbed by their clusters. If it weren't for the door-to-door knife chariot, more Anxi Death Soldiers would have already swarmed in along the gap.

However, these restless soldiers, because they were not afraid of the blades on the door-sticking cart, waved their short spears and stabbed them into a sieve.

The situation in Liangzhou City is very dangerous and can be said to be very bad. However, it did not make all the Tang army soldiers desperate. Fortunately, in addition to the defense system of Liangzhou West Gate, East Gate, South Gate, North Gate and other cities is still intact. As long as they keep their breath, it will be difficult for the Western Turks to chew these defense lines in a short period of time.

The key is the West Gate. Since the opening of the West Gate was opened, Western Turkic soldiers were flocking in. If the West Gate could not be recaptured, the Tang army would undoubtedly be defeated.

Li Daozong knew this very well, and Tong Ye Hu also knew this very well. It was just that the Anxi dead soldiers under Tong Ye Hu were just a group of war slaves. They were all prisoners of the Sassanian Dynasty and people who would die. After becoming prisoners of the Western Turks, they became war slaves. As long as they did not die in a battle, they could restore their freedom.

Therefore, these Anxi dead soldiers were extremely fierce, and the Tang soldiers could not resist them at all and were killed and retreated step by step.

Four door-squeezing knives were successively destroyed by the Anxi Death Soldiers. After the last door-squeezing knives in the city gate was destroyed by the Anxi Death Soldiers, the Tang soldiers who lost the defense of the door-squeezing knives were killed and retreated in a panic.

Seeing the city gate open, a general of the Anshui Death Soldier laughed: "The Tang people are still vulnerable..."

"call out……"

At this critical moment, a sharp roar suddenly sounded, causing severe pain to the eardrums. A thick crossbow arrow broke through the air and was extremely fast. The crazy laughter of the dead soldier of Anxi stopped abruptly. The thick crossbow arrow hit his chest accurately and penetrated the hard armor directly, opening a triangular wound the size of a bull eye in his chest. This huge wound spurted out a large stream of blood.

In theory, armor weighing more than 50 kilograms like Anxi Death Soldier can completely ignore the shooting of crossbows. Even if you use a three-stone strong bow to shoot the armor-breaking cone, it is difficult to cause fatal damage to this heavy armor.

However, there is an exception to one weapon, which is the bed crossbow. The bed crossbow is inconvenient to move, but it is very powerful. The compacted city wall can be inserted for more than one foot, let alone armor? Even the shield chariot used for siege can be shot and distracted as long as it is hit by the bed crossbow, let alone this single-person armor?

At this moment, the scream sounded from time to time. I saw that there were more than a dozen bed crossbows, more than a dozen bed crossbows, and three giant crossbows that were six feet long, and they were shooting at the city gate from time to time.

The crossbow arrows of these bed crossbows, one of the Anxi soldiers who hit the city gate, were hit by the giant crossbow and flew backwards for more than two steps and hit two other Anxi soldiers, which exhausted their kinetic energy.

At the critical moment, Li Daozong moved out the thirty-six bed crossbows from Liangzhou City. Using more than a dozen bed crossbows, he finally stopped the attack of the Anxi Death Soldier.

In fact, Li Daozong originally had as many as fifty-four crossbows, but before he could even use them, he was burned out eighteen by the Greek fire. Li Daozong was so heartbroken that he was so scared that he dared not place such precious weapons on the city walls, and used them to attack the reinstalled and dead soldiers at critical moments, and the effect was quite good.

However, although this attack was repelled by a bed crossbow, Tongye Hu Khan saw the dawn of victory after all. He took advantage of the number of people and launched an attack at the four gates of Liangzhou City. He first burned the city gate with fire, and used Greek fire to burn the iron-clad city gate, and then dug the soil into the city gate hole, directly digging out the soil blocked by Li Daozhen in the city gate hole.

Li Daozong was also at a loss at this time.

As long as he sent troops to the city wall and blocked the Western Turkic army from the city wall, his string control men would use bows and arrows to suppress the city of Liangzhou. Once the Byzantine labor slaves under Tongyehu Khan were allowed to approach the city wall, they would use Greek fire to lure the city wall of Liangzhou into a sea of ​​fire.

Fortunately, the space of the city gate is limited, and both sides can only invest dozens or hundreds of people at one time. Li Daozong still has the strength to persevere. However, the four gates of Liangzhou City are like four huge wounds. The blood of Liangzhou City will sooner or later dry out.

After reading the secret letter written by Li Daozong to him, Chen Ying was silent. He thought that the Western Turks would put great pressure on Liangzhou City, but he did not expect that after the three tricks of Tongye Hu Khan, Li Daozong would have no ability to resist. As a later generation, even if Chen Ying did not understand military affairs, he knew that it was actually very simple to solve the crisis in Liangzhou City to delay the time when the Western Turks broke through the city.

Because the Western Turks only attacked the city gate, there was no need to fight with the Western Turks in the city gate cave. They just needed to put a fire into the city gate cave, so that even a Turkic man could not rush into Liangzhou City before the fire was extinguished.

However, it is too late now. First of all, it is about 600 miles to arrive in Liangzhou from Mingsha County. If the messenger is allowed to go to Liangzhou alone, it will be similar to the time when Chen Ying's entire army arrives in Liangzhou.

Because Chen Ying's entire army had no supplies at all, all the supplies were in the rear, each with only half a month's dry food, mainly consisting of fried noodles, jerky, salt, and dried fruit mixtures, and each person had two kilograms of dry food a day.

Chen Ying immediately summoned Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei, Su Dingfang, Asunasmo and all generals of the Zhechong Duwei level.

After Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei and other generals arrived, Chen Ying asked with a slight look: "Do you know what this general asked you to come here to do?"

Luo Shixin looked straight at Chen Ying and said, "Go and kill someone!"

Chen Ying laughed and said, "I guessed it right. One day and one night, how far can you marche in dry food?"

Luo Shixin said: "Not less than two hundred miles!"

The generals were all excited, looked at each other, and exchanged eagerly with their eyes. Chen Ying planned to force them to march. Could it be that they wanted them to attack from a long distance and capture the king first?

"No less than two hundred miles, the speed is too slow!" Chen Ying said: "Do you still remember that the last time this general was assassinated by Li Daozong, and the general arrived from Lingzhou to Yuanzhou. How far did he run a day and night?"

Chen Ying’s solution is actually very simple. That is to go on a horse.

The speed of the Mongolian army advancing in the combat army is also terrifying now. "During the expedition to the west, the average marching speed reached 90 to 95 kilometers per day. It took only two months and five days to attack Northern Russia, and the average velocity per day reached 85 to 90 kilometers per day; it took only two months and ten days to capture Southern Russia, and the attack speed per day reached 55 to 60 kilometers per day; it took only three months to capture Hungary and Poland, and the attack speed per day reached 58 to 62 kilometers per day." ("History of Ancient Mongolian Wars" page 240)

Of course, the speed of the Mongolian army, including the time they spent in battle, that is, their actual marching speed was faster, just because of the battle, wasted a lot of time. In the book, there is even a record of the Mongolian army marching 500 miles in one night.

Chen Ying knew that the real secret of the Mongolian army's rapid march was not to advance, but to go on horseback.

The horsepower consumes little to the horsepower, but it is very serious torture for humans. Chen Ying still remembers the last time he marched 600 miles, and his crotch was covered in blood.

However, in order to seize the time, Chen Ying didn't care about arriving in Liangzhou before the Western Turks captured Liangzhou.

Chen Ying took a breath and shook his head slightly. He is now becoming more and more proficient in leadership art, and he is thrilling all the way. If he doesn't have such skills, he will be useless. He has emptied his best generals, and now is the time for them to fight the most intense!

"It's three o'clock now. At this time tomorrow, I want your six Zhechong Mansions, the Modao Army, and the three Zhechong Mansions, to arrive outside Liangzhou City!"

Luo Shixin looked serious when he heard this: "Please give orders to the general!"

Chen Ying pondered but did not issue an order. In his memory, the Eastern Turks did not attack the Tang Dynasty in the third year of Wude, but there was a war in the fourth year of Wude. However, this war was a one-man show sung by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin would win another great victory at that time.

Now, Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world, has flapped his wings and history has been changed beyond recognition. This time is just right. As long as he arrives in Liangzhou on the eve of Tongye Hu's attack on Liangzhou, as long as he defeats the enemy, Chen Ying is a great hero in the Tang Dynasty to support dangers, and his status will be unshakable.

Everything is dancing on the tip of the knife. No one knows whether his calculations are correct, and no one knows whether there will be any variables. But in the face of a dead end that is entangled in one place, he can only break the law like this!

Once you make a decision, you can only be determined without hesitation.

Chen Ying and Luo Shixin and Zhang Huaiwei's eyes collided for a long time: "Set out!"

Luo Shixin and other generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general will take the order!"
