Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 21

Hu Biao's guess is right and wrong!

After the defenders of Kucha City expressed their determination not to surrender with practical actions, a long horn sounded from the central position of the Tubo army.

Immediately, on the left wing, a large number of people got off their horses one after another, and walked towards the city to kill them.

It was a large area filled with black clouds, and it looked like there were tens of thousands of people.

Why is Hu Biao so sure that even he knows the legendary "army observation technique"?No, it's just that he felt that the wave of attackers in front of him was about the same as the total number of soldiers and civilians in Qiucha City.

Although judging from the distance of this wave of attackers, walking speed and other factors, it will take at least half an hour to kill the city.

But Hu Biao found that in the face of such a war of more than [-] people, there was a group of panic in his heart.

The heart was beating violently in the great tension, and the blood pressure definitely exceeded 150; the whole person was like a piece of wood, and he didn't know what to do except hold the long gun in his hand tightly.

Fortunately, at such a time, Zhang Tiezhu, who saw such a scene, cursed:
"Don't panic! The more scared and flustered you are on the battlefield, the faster you will die; when you fight later, be smarter, and we will take care of you one or two.

rest assured!People don't die so easily. "

The other members of the Second Cavalry Squadron of the Xuange Battalion did not speak, but they stretched out their hands to pull Hu Biao and others away from the wall and behind them.

At that time, seeing the gang leader Liang Daya, who was half a head shorter than himself, standing in front of him, Hu Biao immediately felt relieved.

But after a while, he felt that the expression on his face must have been terribly ashamed.

Because facing the enemy's first attack, which was several times stronger than the Anxi Army under his command, Guo Xin at the gate of the city yelled: "Prepare your armor and fight to the death~"

After hearing the words, more than [-] guards behind him shouted:
"Prepare armor, fight to the death~"

Amidst the shouts that spread all over the city wall, on this section of the city wall, Wang Xiaowei, Zhang Tiezhu, Liang Daya, Cyclops and other Tang soldiers from the Xuange Battalion.

And all the soldiers of the Anxi Army on the other city walls began to tidy up their armor one after another.

At the beginning, Hu Biao still didn't understand why they did this.

But looking at Zhang Tiezhu, who can be said to have a terrifying face because of the huge scar on his face, he looked extremely serious and solemn when he was arranging his armor.

Suddenly, Hu Biao and others miraculously understood.

These soldiers of the Tang Dynasty hoped to die in battle with the neatest appearance of a soldier.

Instinctively, Hu Biao and the others were also in a hurry, and began to arrange the clothes that were not neat at all because of the rush to gather just now.

In the next second, the movements of their hands stopped.

The main reason was that after tidying up their armor, Zhang Tiezhu and others took off their helmets one after another, intending to straighten their hair before putting them back on straight.

In this process, Hu Biao and the others saw that the city wall was covered with white hair.

To be precise, there are thousands of Anxi troops in the city, all the soldiers are white-haired old men; mixed with their 21 black hairs, they look so endlessly desolate.

For a moment, their throats were blocked...

*******
Regarding the first attack of the Tubo army, in fact, the personnel on both sides did not take it seriously, knowing that it was just an appetizer.

The greater significance of these people's attacks is to consume the arrows of the Tang army on the city wall and test the strength of the Tang army defending the city wall.

Specifically, more than a dozen Turkic tribes attached to the Tubo people dispatched troops in the early [-]s to attack the city.

More precisely, these Turkic people are the remnants of the Turkic Khanate. After the Tang Dynasty and the Uyghurs joined forces to destroy the Turkic Khanate, some of the surviving Turkic people moved westward.

The other part has formed many small tribes, and now it has become a dog under the Tibetans.

In this attack, although the number of Turkic cannon fodder looks scary, it doesn't play much role at all.

Regardless of the earthen city wall of Kucha City, although it is only a little over four meters high, it is not possible for Turkic people without any siege equipment to climb up it with their hands.

What's more, before climbing, they had to find a way to cross the moat at the foot of the city wall, which was seven or eight meters wide and three meters deep.

After they rushed over, facing the river that could drown them, they could only shoot at Tang Jun on the city wall.

In such mutual shooting, the Turkic side suffered a big loss, and finally retreated in embarrassment after more than 1000 people were killed and injured.

The Tang army on the city wall suffered no more than a few dozen casualties.

The reason is simple. The Tang army on the city wall is covered by the wall stacks, and after erecting shields for cover, it can effectively prevent upward and projected arrows.

On the contrary, the Tang army on the city wall shoots arrows condescendingly, both in terms of power and range, which have obvious bonuses.

Coupled with the dozen or so large bed crossbows on this wall, every shot would end in a disastrous way for those who hit it.

The leather and wooden shields inlaid with iron sheets in the hands of the Turks were useless under such a violent ballista.

Therefore, watching the scene where the Turkic people retreated, don't talk about Guo Xin, the commander of the Anxi Army.

Even Liang Daya, who is equivalent to the rank of platoon leader, didn't have any happy expressions on their faces, only dignified expressions.

Because they know that they don't need any complicated siege equipment to attack a small city like Qiuci City; relying on a large number of people and simply processing a few ladders can bring them a fatal threat.

Of course, Hu Biao and other rookies didn't think so. The scene of the two sides shooting at each other just now frightened them.

For example, the warehouse manager, this middle-aged greasy man who has been happy for half his life.

The moment the Turkic retreated amidst the sound of the horn, an old pawn in front of him put down the shield he held high in his hand.

When he poked his head out a little and saw clearly the scene where the enemy hastily retreated, Cang Guan heaved a sigh of relief.

Seriously!He was really freaking out just now.

The dense arrows were like raindrops, constantly hitting the shield in front of him. At that time, his brain was completely blank.

It never occurred to him that he would counterattack with a hand crossbow in his hand.

Fortunately, now, all of this is over, he missed the arrow, and nothing happened.

The next second, when he felt the wetness between his legs, he bent down in embarrassment, trying to hide the fact that he was scared to pee.

Unfortunately, this scene was seen by the old pawn in front of him.

The old pawn did not reprimand him, but just cursed with a smile:
"A man who is almost six feet tall, why is he so cowardly; but it's okay, these old guys went to battle for the first time, and I don't know how much they peed their pants in fear.

After urinating a few times, there will be no more urination. "

After hearing the words, more veterans looked at it, Xu Shi thought of the embarrassing incident when he was the one who joined the army many years ago, and immediately burst out laughing.

At this moment, Cangguan wished that there was a big crack in the city wall, allowing him to get into it.

At this moment, a sudden incident resolved the warehouse manager's embarrassment, but he didn't want such a scene at all, and would rather everyone continue to laugh at him.

Because at such a time, it is said that there is a second-generation Gangzi who has a little relationship in the family.

He finally recovered from the horror of being shot by a sharp arrow in the previous battle.

Facing such a real threat of death, he can't take care of everything, such as guilt, mission, reason and so on.

After throwing down a long gun in his hand, without a word, he pulled away the netizens blocking in front of him, and ran towards the ramp leading down the city wall tens of meters away.

Obviously, this terrified unlucky guy wanted to escape from here.

Even in theory, there is no way for him to escape.

Seeing this, Xiaowei Wang, who was still in tears a second before a hundred meters away, yelled: "Stop, stop, or don't blame me for military law~"

But at this moment, Gangzi couldn't hear anything in his head.

So after a few seconds, Captain Wang put down the pair of pumpkin hammers in his hands, quickly took the bow in his hand from behind, and greeted him with an arrow.

The step bow in Wang Xiaowei's hand is much larger than the usual model, at least it has the standard of a stone from the Tang Dynasty.

If it is changed to the modern plane, that is, it needs 79.32 kilograms, which is a terrifying level of more than 170 pounds.

Even though Xiaowei Wang let go after drawing the bow to one-third of the way in order to shoot quickly, the arrow was fast and urgent, and it hit Gangzi's back, and the arrow shot out from his chest.

It was so hard to die, at that time Gangzi just ran in front of the warehouse manager.

The blood that splashed out at that time got all over the cangguan's face; some even flew into the mouth of the cangguan yelling to tell Gangzi not to run away.

In the end, under the sound of the warehouse manager vomiting frantically, other netizens turned pale.

It was also after such a scene that all netizens gave up the thought of running down the city wall and finding a place to hide if the situation was critical...
