Chapter 51 Leading an army to attack Tongwancheng

The sharp scimitar slashed heavily on Zhang Changxun's chest. The strong bright light armor blocked the fatal blow for him. Although the scimitar did not break through the heavy armor, Zhang Changxun's head and chest were still stuffy and dizzy.

Blood--

Looking around, blood is everywhere.

Zhang Changxun took a deep breath, held the horizontal knife in his hand tightly, and shouted at the Turkic soldiers who were swarming in: "Come on... the wolf cubs of the Turkic... Yeah, Zhang Changxun..."

Looking at the city wall, Zhang Changxun, who was already at the end of his strength, had less than 800 Tang army soldiers. A smile finally appeared on Ashina Sheer's face.

However, the Byzantine consul Casili Balsey, who was watching the game, was not as relaxed as Asina Sher, and was more worried.

Compared with the Byzantine Empire, the Battle of Fengzhou can only be considered a tactical combat mission. A small castle like Fengzhou City has no one thousand, at least eight hundred. To be honest, if a Roman legion of the Byzantine Empire (the standard Roman legion has ten brigades, between 4,500 and 6,000 people) faces the Turkic attack of the same scale, they may not be able to last for three hours.

However, the Tang army in Fengzhou City persisted for four days. When the gentle slope was built, the Tang army put down the rolling wood on the city wall. Each rolling wood could always take away the lives of dozens or hundreds of Turkic soldiers. When the reserve rolling wood on the Fengzhou City wall was exhausted, the Tang army soldiers still did not give up.

They demolished the beams and sawed them into a length of one or two feet, then tied them together with four or five beams, with small wooden stakes stuffed in the middle, and then they still felt like rolling wood, causing serious contusion to the Turkic attacking troops.

In just four days, the Turkic Ashina Sheer's troops paid the price of more than 8,000 people being killed and more than 5,000 people being disabled, which was the price of the Tang army's rolling wood and tincture oil.

Now, the Turks finally saw the dawn of victory.

Asina Sheer looked at Casilly Barsey with a relaxed look on his face and smiled: "At most half an hour, we can sit in Fengzhou City and drink!"

Casili Balsey asked suspiciously: "I heard that there are many castles like Fengzhou in Tang Kingdom!"

"Not bad!" Asina Sheer nodded and said, "There are 367 military states like Fengzhou in the Tang Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Casili Balsey's face looked even more ugly. Simple mathematical problems could not defeat him. Three hundred and seven military states cost up to tens of thousands of casualties each.

I'm afraid that by that period, the Turks would have died.

Casili Balsi unconsciously revealed his memory of the Tang Kingdom. In the classics of the Byzantine Empire, he recorded in detail the four superpowers that once coexisted with the glorious Roman Empire and were in the world. At the beginning, the Kushan Empire was defeated by the Tada people and replaced by the Sassanid Empire.

According to classics, the Da Empire was a nomadic people defeated by China. They were also defeated generals of China. However, this subordinate actually killed a pair of four superpowers in the world!

At this moment, a huge cry broke out on the city wall.

There were many reinforcements on the city wall, but these reinforcements were all the people in the city, and even young and middle-aged women were fighting against the Turks with weapons.

Whenever a woman in Tang was killed by the Turks, Asina Sheer showed a regretful expression and murmured: "What a pity, the beauty of the woman in Tang is simply wonderful. The noble consul, wait for Ben Khan to conquer Fengzhou City and give it to ten Tang women..."

At this moment, boom boom boom...

The sound of earth shaking sounded.

Asina Sheer looked in the sound and saw a black line appearing on the horizon in the south. As time went by, the black line became larger and thicker.

Slowly, the black wave was getting closer and closer, and they could see clearly the face of this army.

The army's black armor was in front of it, with more than 500 fierce whistle-knight cavalry. The horse cavalry was controlled by their legs, which showed that they were not inferior to the riding skills of Turkic knights.

Behind were more than 1,500 cavalrymen with long spears. The hook and sickle spear in their hands and the dark gun blade were almost three feet long. This hook and sickle spear with a spear head made people feel so painful to see.

Asina Sher's face turned extremely ugly.

This army with equipment has only one number in the world, and that is the direct division of Chen Ying, the general of the Great Tang Dynasty cavalry.

Chen Ying looked at the piles of corpses in front of him and the Tang army soldiers fighting bloody battles on the city walls, as well as the Tang army battle flags that were looming in the rolling smoke, and then felt relieved and said, "Thank God, I was finally not late!"

Yang Ze, the general manager of Lingzhou around him, said with relief: "The city has not been broken, and our army's main force is still there, thank God!"

Zhang Changxun, who had a desperate intention on the city wall, looked at the big bell floating in the distance, and shouted excitedly: "Soldiers, our reinforcements are here, drive down the Turkic wolf cubs!"

The Tang army soldiers in Fengzhou City survived the fate of their lives. They let out a horrifying roar from their chests, snatched up their swords, raised their spears, and attacked the Turkic army soldiers emerging on the city walls. They were a Jedi assault.

Amid the crackling rain of arrows and shrill screams, the Turkic army soldiers were defeated by the Tang army soldiers. The Turkic soldiers who were killed were staggered and watched these crazy guys rush down the gentle slope from the city wall. The next second, their heads broke away from their necks and flew out... The charge of the Turkic army just now was like a broken sword, which made the Tang army generals have no power to fight back. Now the Tang army soldiers are also like a broken sword, but this time the broken swords were replaced by the Turkic army.

Asina Sheer angrily threw the horse on the ground, and he knew that the attempt to conquer Fengzhou City was shattered.

The Tang army soldiers did not immediately launch an attack, but stopped and began to complete the entire team as if no one was around. The Turkic soldiers under Fengzhou City were so angry that they saw this scene.

Casili Balsi stared at the Dingyuan Army of the Tang army with high fighting spirit. Dingyuan Army was an elite force formed by Chen Ying when he was the chief general of Lingzhou in the second year of Wude. In Casili Balsi's eyes, this was indeed a rare elite force, with excellent equipment and high morale, far surpassing any opponent he had encountered before. I'm afraid that the most elite escort army in the Sassanian Empire could probably compete with them.

The soldiers of Dingyuan Army turned over and dismounted and quickly formed a square formation. At the front were three rows of crossbowmen, and behind them were a row of spearmen and shieldmen, which quickly formed a hedgehog formation. The lances of Dingyuan Army retreated from both wings, and seemed to be preparing to charge wide. A series of tactical mobilizations came very smoothly, just like flowing clouds and water. I don’t know that they had been trained thousands or tens of thousands of times.

The Battle of Fengzhou allowed Casili Balsi to see the tenacity and tenacity of the Tang army soldiers, and now he saw the elite field troops of the Tang army.

There were only more than 2,000 infantrymen, and there were only five or six thousand infantry coming from behind. But why did the Turks change their faces, and the sound of princesses and teeth trembling around them?

Casili Balsey is very strange, it is too unreasonable.

However, Casili Balsi didn't know that the Turks were not afraid of the Tang army. The same number of Turks could not defeat the Tang army, but in the case of large numbers, they still had the chance to win. However, Chen Ying's army was all freaks, and what they were best at was to fight less.

Chen Ying went from Chang'an City to light and simple transportation. He was originally planning to lead the Dingyuan Army to take down Tongwancheng directly, but before Chen Ying led him to Tongwancheng, Fengzhou encountered the Turkic Khan Ashina Sheer attacked Fengzhou.

Fengzhou is almost the military town of the Tang Dynasty. Except for all the soldiers, there are only the families of soldiers and soldiers. There are not many ordinary people, and only a few bold merchants are active here.

However, facing the attack of Asina Sheer, Zhang Changxun was really no match. In desperation, Chen Ying had to temporarily change his plan and lead the Dingyuan army across the Yellow River to the north and come to Fengzhou city.

Seeing the troops complete the whole team, Chen Ying raised his sword and turned forward, shouting: "Old rules, crush these idiots to death for this general!"

"Crush these idiots to death!"

More than 1,500 Dingyuan Army's hook and sickle cavalry cavalry all let out a violent roar, put the flat hook and sickle spear, and instigated the war horses, like a black hurricane, rushing straight towards the Turkic Legion formation.

At the same time, the thick sound of war drums began to ring.

The sap soldiers held the sap obliquely and rushed forward. In fact, they were already used to the sacred and lances cavalry charging forward, disrupting the enemy's formation, while the infantry went up to harvest the heads.

Casili Balsey was stunned as he looked at the black waves that were swarming in.

He subconsciously thought that the Tang army was crazy, all of them were crazy. Judging from the total number of troops, there were still 40,000 soldiers in the Turks at this time, while the cavalry on the opposite side were less than 2,000.

One to twenty.

Unless your head is abnormal, there is no such thing in war.

However, at this time, the soldiers of Dingyuan Army were like madmen, and they plunged in without blinking.

Casili Barcy's eyes almost fell to the ground: "Just... just rushed up like this? Isn't you dead?"

But the Turks' faces changed drastically, and the strange hook and sickle spear made them suffer enough. However, the Dingyuan Army's hook and sickle spear cavalry swept over like lightning.

Some of them turned their horses and ran away, while others raised their bows and arrows to the Dingyuan Army's hook, sickle, and lances.

However, no accident happened. The inferior riding bow in their hands shot on the Dingyuan soldiers, and immediately stung like a hornet, and more of them slid directly to the ground. However, the Dingyuan Army's hook, sickle, lances had already hit them with their men and horses.

The four-meter-long hook and sickle spear easily penetrated their bodies and picked them off the horse. What's important is that this black terrifying wave was unstoppable. I don't know how many Turkic warriors were stabbed by their spears, and they went in front of their chests and came out of the back of their chests, and almost none of the Mongolian knights who crashed into the Tang army cavalry array were spared!

However, at this time, the Turkic cavalry that grew up on the horse could not control the war horses at all. The crazy war horses either rushed straight towards their own military formations or towards the cavalry wall formed by the lancers. No matter which side they rushed, they were only able to be penetrated by the tip of the gun! With the sharp arrows shot from sporadic shots, the lancers and lancers knocked them over without any effort.

The rolling iron cavalry pointed directly at the wolf-tailed Datao of Asina Sheer.

In just one round, the Turkic cavalry was hit by a devastating blow, people shouted and neighed, and they were in a mess. The Turkic generals widened their eyes in disbelief, watching the Tang cavalry rolling back like a tide, while the Turkic warriors were swept around like grass, and they felt dizzy.

"God!" Casili Balsey felt doubting life. What kind of ghostly fighting style of Tang Jun can actually gain an absolute advantage in cavalry battle! What's wrong with this world!

Asina Sheer's war horse was also frightened, kicking and jumping, and several personal soldiers could not hold it back. A Turkic general saw that the hook, sickle, rifle, and lances were already rushing towards him like a mountain and a wall. He couldn't help but split his heart and gallbladder and screamed wildly: "Protect Khan, protect Khan!"

But at this time, Asina Sheer's army was completely disorganized and could not form an effective defense line at all. It would be useless to shout.

Fortunately, there was a group of personal soldiers around Ashina Sheer. These personal soldiers were composed of young children of Ashina family. They remained awake until now. Seeing this, they stabbed the uncontrolled war horses with a sword, and then lined up. The people in the front knelt on the ground with a giant shield in their hands, ready to bear the most crazy impact. The people behind put the spear on the shoulder of the shield's hand, aiming the spear at the war horses rushing at the high speed.

This is a more effective tactic of using stairs to resist cavalry. The cavalry hates this the most, but this tactic is used by Turkic cavalry who boasts of cavalry and shooting. It is a bit ironic no matter how you look at it.

The black storm was approaching in a blink of an eye, and of course, Chen Ying was still the one who rushed to the front.

Chen Ying looked down on the defense line composed of spears, slightly lowered the rod of the hook and sickle spear. The tip of the gun rubbed against the edge of the giant shield and stabbed the shield soldier's throat. The huge impact force broke his cervical vertebrae.

In the Turkic shield formation, people fell backwards and the shield flew upwards. The front row of lancers all had the same movements, lowering the spear rod, and purging the shield soldiers with the absolute advantage of the length of the hook and sickle spear, and then the Pegasus stepped over the Turkic people.

Some unlucky hook, sickle, and spear, lances were stabbed into the war horse by the spear, and overturned by the injured war horse. However, most of the Turkic warriors holding spears in their hands and trying to fight against the spears found their home on the extremely sharp spear tip of the lances. This weak line of defense was instantly shattered, and the lances poured in from the gap and rushed straight to the wolf-tail Datao.

The warriors of the Ashin family were also red-eyed and rushed over to fight with the lances with no chance. Some soldiers who were pushed off the horse even swung their swords to cut the horse's legs, using all the combat skills they had learned to try to knock down the hook and sickle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rif

Taking this opportunity, Asina Sheer barely controlled the war horses and retreated in panic under the protection of several soldiers.

Chen Ying looked at Asina Sheer's retreat in a hurry and sighed.

Everything has priorities and no need to rush to annihilate Asina Sheer. The key is that the existence of the Liang army has actually had a fatal impact on the Northern Expedition of the Turks in the Tang Dynasty.

Because of race, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who are working for the Turks now. However, the Han people under Liang Shidu can use the appearance and appearance characteristics of the Han people to get into Guanzhong and find out the trends of the Tang army.

At present, the most important thing to destroy the Liang Shidu is just on the eve of the Northern Expedition.

Chen Ying didn't care about resting or cleaning the battlefield.

Leaving a place of wounded soldiers of the Dingyuan Army, leaving behind injured war horses, and then gathering up the war horses left by the Turks on the battlefield. In just a quarter of an hour, the Dingyuan Army soldiers formed a team again, and this time they turned toward Tongwancheng.

Zhang Changxun finally moved the sand and gravel blocked at the city gate and came to the battlefield outside the city, but found that Chen Ying had long disappeared.

Zhang Changxun looked at a wounded soldier in Tang army and said, "Where is General Chen?"
