Chapter 744 Taiyuan is in crisis
Qin Qiong and Wanyan Dangbo pursued and fought relentlessly according to Zhang Lang's order, and fought to Mount Sanmi where the Western Turkic royal court was located. Shekui originally planned to defend the royal court, but the people's hearts were chaotic and morale collapsed. When he heard the Liao army coming.
After the Liao army had not yet entered the sight, the Turkic army collapsed again. Without fighting, the Liao army occupied the Sanmi Mountain of the Western Turkic royal court and seized the Western Turkic from Persia and Khwarezm in the past two years.
The countless gold, silver and jewelry that were plundered from other places and thousands of beautiful women in the royal court harem. These Sanmi Mountains are also in the Changbai Mountains, but at the western end of the mountain range, they are opposite to the Liao army's breakthrough position.
There are six or seven hundred miles.
At this time, the horsepower of the Liao cavalry had basically been exhausted, and the personnel were exhausted and could no longer pursue. Qin Qiong ordered the army to stop pursuing. After the army rested on Sanmi Mountain for a day, Qin Qiong left three thousand men to guard San.
Mishan, he and Wanyan Dangbo led a large army to escort a large number of prisoners and countless captured gold, silver and treasures and beauties back to the rear camp.
A few days later, Qin Qiong and Wanyan Dangbo returned to the camp. However, they found that the king had already led all the other nearly 40,000 cavalry to leave the camp and rushed back to Taiyuan to help. Pang, who stayed in the camp and waited for Qin Qiong to return.
The warrior handed a letter from Zhang Lang to Qin Qiong and said, "General Qin, this is the letter left to you by the king. The king said that General Qin will be in full responsibility for this place." Qin Qiong took the letter and opened it
The envelope, took out the letter paper, expanded it and looked at it, nodded, and said, "I understand." Then he smiled and said, "But this result will probably take several days to count it." Pang Zhan's always expressionless
It was like a smile on the face of the stone slab.
Qin Qiong suddenly thought of the many beauties from all races captured from the royal court, and said in a hint: "Everything else is easy to deal with, but what should those thousands of beauties be handled?" Pang Zhan said: "We can't make the decision on this matter, so it's better to send it to you.
People will be placed here first, and they will set up a camp for them. Let’s wait until the matter on the lord’s side is resolved." Qin Qiong nodded, feeling that he could only do this first.
When Qin Qiong thought about what happened in Taiyuan, she couldn't help but show her worry and murmured: "I don't know what's going on with Luo Cheng?"
It is said that Li Shimin took Luo Cheng's father Luo Yi to the front of the army to persuade Luo Cheng to surrender, but Luo Cheng was unmoved. Li Shimin had no choice but to order a strong attack on Taiyuan. With the help of more than a hundred artillery seized from Yan'an Prefecture, and they rushed themselves.
The heavy catapult cart made was very fierce, and the Tang army attacked very fiercely, and Taiyuan City seemed to be in the storm. The two sides fought fiercely for three days, and the corpses were piled up and down the city, and the blood dyed the originally gray-white city walls blood.
However, after three days, the Liao army blocked the Tang army's fierce attack. After three days, the Tang army suffered heavy losses but failed to break through Taiyuan City as expected.
Another round of fierce attack by the Tang army was repelled by the Liao army. Li Shimin saw that he was about to break through the enemy's defense, but finally failed at the last moment, and was very upset. Seeing that his officers and soldiers were already very tired, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown.
Come.
General Hou Junji clasped his fists and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the army has been attacking fiercely for most of the day and is already very tired. Will you suspend the attack and attack the city again tomorrow?"
Li Shimin slowly shook his head and said firmly: "No! We must break the city today!" Looking at the city, "Our army is tired, but the enemy must be even more tired! These days, although our army has suffered a lot of casualties, the enemy
The casualties of the army must be very heavy, and there should be few left now! This is the most critical moment, and the victory or defeat will be here! If the order is passed, the officers and soldiers must insist on winning the final victory! Once the city is broken, everyone will reward silver
Ten taels of silk per piece, those who have made meritorious contributions will receive three times as much reward according to normal standards!" Hou Junji couldn't help but lit up his eyes, and immediately responded and ran down.
As Li Shimin's order spread throughout the army, the originally depressed morale actually rose again. The Tang army officers and soldiers shouted loudly, trembling with sounds!
Luo Cheng, who was standing on the city wall, frowned and was secretly shocked when he saw this scene. He turned his head and looked at the soldiers around him. He saw that almost everyone was very tired with injuries. Luo Cheng couldn't help but worry that he could still do it.
Can't withstand this round of fierce attack from the enemy?
The Tang army's war drums roared loudly, and the Tang army's heavy catapult carts and artillery were preparing to shoot again. Seeing this, Luo Cheng immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers to retreat from the city wall. When the Liao army officers and soldiers had just retreated under the city wall, the huge rocks of the whistling cannons were
The roar suddenly came. Then there was a terrifying scene like the sky and the earth shaking. The city wall was shaking under this terrible bombardment!
The Tang army bombarded three consecutive rounds, and the bombarded city wall on the right side of the city gate finally couldn't hold on and collapsed with a bang! All the Liao army officers and soldiers were shocked.
The Tang army stopped bombarding, and the sound of war drums rumbled. At this moment, the sentry who was staying on the city wall suddenly rushed over and shouted, "The Tang army is coming!" Luo Zhike ordered some soldiers to guard the city wall, but he himself
Leading other troops and the final reserve team, the three thousand iron armored infantry rushed straight toward the gap. This iron armored infantry was not the blood-slaughtering warrior that was the Liao army that was so powerful that the world was full of armor, but was re-armed by heavy armor during the Liao army's heavy armor process.
It is just one of the armed infantry. Unlike the Blood Torture Warriors, these heavy infantry are worn with heavy armor, but they use shields and spears, and are an infantry that emphasizes extreme defense.
The Liao army rushed to the gap and quickly formed a formation. After a while, a loud tide sound came from outside the gap. Then the crowds of people rushed in. The first one was the Tang army cavalry! People shouted and neighed, and the iron hoofs were
It is rushing, and its momentum is amazing!
Luo Cheng raised his spear and shouted loudly: "Stay!" The heavily armored infantry shouted loudly in unison and prepared to welcome the impact.
In a blink of an eye, a torrent of cavalry hit the front line composed of heavy armored infantry, as if the waves were slamming against the shore, and the huge impact sounded! However, although the impact of the cavalry was extremely fierce, it was instantly given by the heavy armored infantry line.
The momentum of the impact was blocked, just like a fierce torrent hitting the solid dam. The momentum of the impact was blocked by the dam. Countless cavalry were squeezed into a pile and could not move for a moment! Heavy armored infantry
Chapter completed!
