Chapter 580 Crazy General Sang Xiong

? The army returned to the camp again, Sang Xiong felt very frustrated. He did not expect that the Tubo warriors would fail in siege today. On the first day, the Tuyuhun New Army siege 10,000 and 3,000 people died. He felt it was understandable. After all, the new army of Tuyuhun was recruiting not long ago, and it was okay to let him ride a horse to fight. It was naturally unsatisfactory to attack the city. However, he never expected that the Tubo warriors who had always fought bravely would perform so badly today, with more than 3,000 people dead, but still did not touch the walls of Liangzhou City.

Sang Xiong was very angry. When he returned to the military camp, he sulked in his big tent alone. He really couldn't understand. The Tubo cavalry had been fighting for many years, and they were all warriors tempered from blood and fire. How could they seem so vulnerable when they encountered the Tang army's fire attack? He also felt that the Tang army's fire attack was surprised. The Tubo warriors were on fire, but no matter how to fight, they would cause fire to burn. Sang Xiong was sulking, while thinking about yesterday and today's siege. After thinking for a long time, he believed that the reason why the two sieges made the Tang army repel so easily was that the soldiers who siege did not give the Tang army enough oppression, but they were too calm in defending the city.

So how can we form a sense of oppression on the Tang army?

Sang Xiong thought for a long time, but still felt that the number of troops sent in the two battles was relatively small. As long as more people were sent to attack the city, wouldn’t it be the best time to take over Liangzhou City by yourself?

Thinking of this in my heart, Sang Xiong had an idea.

The next day, he summoned the generals to discuss matters, and proposed to send 10,000 elite cavalry each from Tubo and Tuyuhun to form infantry Fangzheng to attack the city. His proposal made the generals who had a lot of resentment agree with it. Everyone agreed that many troops should send large troops to attack in turn, consuming the Tang army's combat power, stones, arrows and other tools to defend the city, and seize the opportunity to seize Liangzhou City in one fell swoop.

After the discussion was completed, the army was ordered, and Sang Xiong led an army of 80,000 to the city of Liangzhou.

Li Ke saw the 20,000 infantrymen who were out of the city, and his expression was very serious! If Sang Xiong had always dared to siege the city without regard for death, he might have been able to break the city in ten days and half a month! However, he was not sure whether Sang Xiong had this courage. He knew very well that as a cavalry general, he could not bear it when he saw the infantry he trained himself to die. Therefore, he was also betting on Sang Xiong's courage to see if he dared to sacrifice tens of thousands of people in exchange for such a chance to break the city. Because it is October now, and the northwest will be in winter in November, and the Tubo and Tuyuhun army will not be able to siege the city in the cold weather, and the cold in the northwest will not allow them to do so.

"Wuwu--" The long and long oxen horn sounded, and the 20,000 troops of Tubo and Tuyuhun slowly moved towards Liangzhou City. When they reached the shooting range of the 800-step crossbow, they accelerated and started running.

"Shooting the arrow—" Sun Erlang decisively waved the order flag.

Three hundred crossbows start standard and shoot!

It whistled past, shaving through the empty hissing sound, and the long arrow pierced through the bodies of Tubo and Tuyuhun infantrymen.

"Bang--" The moment the long arrow pierced through the body, blood gushed out, thinking that the roses that were about to wither in winter were both red and desolate.

The siege army was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers holding long swords and urging the combatants to fight. As long as they found soldiers who were afraid or afraid to fight, they would do their best to do so.

Therefore, even though the shocking long arrow of the crossbow could penetrate the bodies of the three people and even nail the two to the ground, the Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry rushed towards Liangzhou City regardless of life and death.

"Arrow ready--" Sun Erlang shouted.

Seeing that the Tubo and Tuyuhun army reached the shooting range of bows and arrows, Sun Erlang Lingqi waved again and saw thousands of feather arrows shooting row by row at the Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry.

"Bang bang bang--"

The Tubo and Tuyuhun soldiers who were rushing to the front fell to the ground by arrows, but the infantry behind them still rushed towards Liangzhou City regardless of their own worries. Such a charge regardless of death and a siege in the city of death naturally broke the solid fortress set up by the Tang army's bows and arrows.

"Cut oil--" Sun Erlang waved the order flag and shouted loudly.

The soldiers guarding the city picked up the porcelain jar and fell towards Tuyuhun and Tubo soldiers under the city.

"Tong--" The porcelain jar was broken, and the tinder oil wet the Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry, but it was also scattered on the ground.

"Start the fire--" Sun Erlang issued a calm order.

Then a group of arrows with fire shot towards the city.

Suddenly, a fire burned under the city, screaming continued.

"Shooting the arrow—" Sun Erlang continued to order the archers to shoot and kill the siege soldiers who were not caught in the arrow.

Half an hour passed, the fire was extinguished, and the entire city of Liangzhou became charred and the burning atmosphere of the corpse was extremely unpleasant.

However, Sang Xiong once again launched an attack order, and saw another square formation of Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry rushed towards Liangzhou City.

Sun Erlang is still commanding the city to defend!

However, when Li Ke saw the attack on the city, he knew that this day would be a fierce battle. Sang Xiong wanted to exhaust the soldiers who defended the city through such constant attacks, and then look for opportunities to break through the city.

"Wang Zhongchang - mobilize 10,000 reserve teams to the city wall!" Li Ke gave the order decisively.

He felt that with such a series of attacks, the more than 10,000 soldiers defending the city would definitely not be able to support it, and he had to transfer the reserve team to the city wall as soon as possible in case of emergency.

Screaming!

What are you shouting!

This scene of murder was staged under the city of Liangzhou, and the soldiers guarding the city in the Tang Dynasty killed Tubo and Tuyuhun siege infantry.

However, the Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry wanted to rush up like crazy, and they didn't know whether life and death were the same as pain.

Li Ke quietly watched the massacre in front of him, silently without saying a word. Wang Zhongchang, Li Yan and Li Zong beside him were just watching the massacre quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the offensives of Tubo and Tuyuhun slowed down and their momentum became much weaker, but they continued to rush forward!

"Order Wang Zhongchang to save arrows, stones and their tinctures!" Li Ke said lightly, "Put the Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry onto the city wall!"

"Third Brother--" Li Yan spoke, but did he continue to speak.

"Let some of them come up and let the soldiers see the blood! The offensives of Tubo and Tuyuhun are weak and their morale is dissipated. At this time, letting them come up and annihilate them in one fell swoop, which will definitely hit their morale!" Li Ke said lightly. If it weren't for his younger brother Li Yan asked him, he wouldn't want to explain.

"No" King Zhongchang received his order and left.

"You guys go to defend the city too!" Li Ke said lightly.

"No" and the two received the order.

After receiving Li Ke's order, Sun Erlang immediately executed it and released some Tubo and Tuyuhun infantrymen to climb the city wall. Then he issued bows and arrows and crossbows to continue shooting and killing other Tubo and Tuyuhun infantrymen who wanted to climb the city wall.

The Tubo soldiers were indeed natural soldiers. They climbed the city at a very fast speed and instantly climbed up the city wall. But as soon as their sides were placed on the battlements, a white light flashed, and a torn scream of "Ah--" sounded, and five fingers remained on the battlements, and their majestic body fell off the city wall.

Some fast Tubo soldiers climbed the city wall, but before they could stand firm, their heads were cut off by the Tang army's long sword. Blood gushed out, and the headless corpse fell off the city wall.

Tragic!

This is the real tragic!

The Tubo and Tuyuhun soldiers became living targets on the Tang army's city walls, allowing long swords to cut their throats and cut off their heads.

The battle was destined to end in tragedy at the beginning.

Half an hour later, the Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry who rushed to the city were killed by the soldiers guarding the city of the Tang Dynasty. The city was filled with headless corpses and large heads. The scene was extremely terrifying and bloody!

Seeing this scene, the Tubo and Tuyuhun infantrymen who wanted to charge instinctively slowed down their pace and were a little scared and dared not move forward!

Sun Erlang seized this opportunity and decisively ordered the archers to shoot and kill him. Another corpse fell from the city of Liangzhou.

However, Sangxiong has been unmoved.

The two armies fought like this, from morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, to evening and dusk, in the afterglow of the sunset, the city of Liangzhou was filled with the bodies of Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry.

"General Sangxiong, don't attack! We have suffered too much losses, and more than 12,000 soldiers have died!" Tuba began to dissuade him.

"General, stop the troops! The morale of the soldiers was defeated and they could no longer capture the city!" The general of the Tubo army also dissuaded.

As soon as Tuba's words were opened, many generals dissuaded Sang Xiong.

Because, they really couldn't bear to watch anymore, and they couldn't bear to watch their cavalry act as infantry to die!

"Hey—" Sang Xiong sighed, "Get off!"

"Woo woo woo woo woo woo--" the horn sounded.

The Tubo and Tuyuhun infantry who heard the sound of horns began to retreat!

One siege failed!

Seeing the army of Tubo and Tuyuhun retreating like a tide, Li Ke remained silent, but just glanced at the generals indifferently and left the city tower. Because he knew that such a siege was just the beginning, and in the next ten days, the Tubo and Tuyuhun coalition forces would still siege like this in such a crazy attack. Their purpose was very simple, which was to compete for the number of people, willpower, and bet on the storage of arrows, stones and tinctures stored in Liangzhou City.

The generals on the Liangzhou city tower were silent when they saw the bodies of Tubo and Tuyuhun soldiers piled up like hills in front of them.
