lazy tang

Chapter 827
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the white snow reflected the sunlight extremely dazzlingly.Zhang Liang let go, and the saw-like horizontal knife fell to the ground with a clang!

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. According to the etiquette of the Central Plains, today should be the day when the daughter returns home.Zhang Liang did not welcome his son-in-law, but the fierce Persian army.

A fierce battle on New Year's Eve caught Tang Jun by surprise.Damn big cannibals, they have gunpowder.After a whole load of gunpowder exploded, the city gate flew like pieces of paper.The tide-like Persian army rushed in under the cover of heavy snow.

All the Tang troops were blinded by the heavy snow. No one believed that in the severe cold of the Western Regions, someone would cross the wasteland to attack Almaty.Even Zhang Liang felt that such weather was not suitable for marching.

The Persians chose a day when Almaty's defenses were the most lax, and the lieutenants failed to organize their troops, and fierce battles broke out.Even more than half of the Tang army went into the battlefield before they had time to put on their armor.

Zhang Liang regretted it and gave the order to let the soldiers have fun.But it's too late to regret it now, because there is nowhere to buy the medicine.

The soldiers near the city gate were all killed in the dining hall, and the only thing in their hands was chopsticks.You don't need a hand knife to eat dumplings!
The Persian's scimitar slashed at their bodies, and the body without armor protection was cut open at once.The bright red blood fell into the snow, showing a strange purple color.

This snowy night belonged to the Persians. They held machetes and slashed and killed all the creatures they saw like madmen.As long as it is breathing, it will inevitably be stabbed.This time it was a surprise attack, which determined that they must not show mercy.

Yusuf wanted to wipe out as many of the opponent's vital forces as possible in the first place, and it would be a lot of trouble when Tang Jun reacted and organized a resistance.

Zhang Liang was somewhat grateful for Yusuf's military order, because the Persians' rotten killing resulted in the resistance of the Almaty people.Originally, those servants were ready to surrender, who would have thought that the Persians would kill anyone they saw.Even those servants who knelt down on the street and begged for their lives were not spared.

Many Persians also rushed to the residents' homes, slashed and killed them and set them on fire.

Killing Tang people, in fact, Almaty people don't have much opinion.It's nothing more than a new master in Almaty, and everyone still has to pay taxes and serve the new master.As the hub of the East-West Silk Road, it is not the first time that Almaty has changed its owner.

But if the Persians killed like this, everyone has opinions.In the final analysis, everyone surrenders in order to survive, and if you surrender now, you will die or not.And my own home is in Almaty, these hateful Persians, even the old and weak, women and children will not be spared.

Witnessing the tragic death of their relatives under the scimitar, the people of Almaty were red-eyed.Although they are cowardly and philistine, each of them has a strong desire to live.

The servant army of Almaty is only the first day, which is not their holiday.In the barracks of many servants, a considerable amount of vigilance is still maintained.Compared with the Tang army whose soldiers couldn't find the generals, and the generals couldn't find the soldiers, the situation of the servant army was much better.At least they were out in the streets in armor and weapons in hand.

This is a real life-and-death battle, and Tang Ren, who usually assumes the leading role in the battle, is absent this time.But under the threat of their lives, the servants resolutely broke out with the greatest courage.

They frantically resisted and frantically launched a counterattack to the exhausted Persian army.The two sides actually formed a tug-of-war in the street market, and broken bodies were everywhere.So that at dawn, Yusuf found that he only controlled a piece of land inside the walls of Almaty.The rest of the place is completely in the hands of the Tang people and their servants.

At dawn, the Persians chose to stick to it.

The three days of running around had almost exhausted their physical strength, and the night of fierce fighting completely exhausted their physical strength.Many people sat in the cold snow and fell asleep by leaning against the city wall.It was hard to say whether those who lay beneath the walls were asleep or dead.

The soldiers were too tired, Yusuf felt sorry for the soldiers.But now that the Tang army is organizing a counterattack, he can only harden his heart and let the officers pull the soldiers up and continue to participate in the battle.

The collision of cold weapons quickly turned into a competition of hot weapons.

Both sides have kerosene, and both have kerosene.Flames kept flashing in the city, and the sound of explosions kept coming and going.Both sides are relying on buildings to conduct long-distance contests.The dividing line between the two armies is a residential building that was bombed and collapsed.

Inside the dwellings, whether it was furniture or people, they were all reduced to dust under the power of explosives.On a tree branch not far away, there was even a human thigh and a half-pull buttocks.

Crossbow arrows have become the main hunting weapons, Zhang Liang was surprised to find that the Persians even have eight bull crossbows.And it is the kind that can be operated by three people after improvement.If it weren't for those people with curly beards and speaking incomprehensible words.Zhang Liang almost regarded them as Tang Jun!

Because their equipment is almost the same as Tang Jun's standard equipment.

Zhang Liang felt extremely surprised. Tang Jun's weapons and equipment had always been Datang's absolute secret.Why do these bearded Persians have such weapons?
Those Persians even had gunpowder and kerosene, how is that possible.The formula of gunpowder is not even known to him, the Duke of Tang Dynasty.

But rumbling explosions came out one after another, and Zhang Liang heard it in his ears and trembled in his heart.This news must be passed on to Chang'an to know, it must be like this.Otherwise, Datang will suffer huge losses.

God knows what kind of ambitions the Persians have for Datang.

But the airship landing site has been occupied by the Persians. Fortunately, the Persians are fighting with all their might.Don't have the energy to destroy those monsters they can't understand!

"We want to take back the airship!" Zhang Liang put down the binoculars and immediately ordered to take back the airship landing site.

"Impossible! Now the two sides are in a stalemate, and the battle on the landing field is even more inextricable. They have eight oxen crossbows and gunpowder in their hands, no matter what they can't get through." Han Dewang said sadly.

As the guard of Almaty, he has been stationed here for five years in the Western Regions for eight years.Almaty poured his feelings, his heart and soul.What makes him even more resentful is that he has been destroyed by the flames of war.He actually lost more than half of his own people overnight, and those were all veterans who had followed him for many years.

"If you can't go out, you have to go. You must tell Chang'an about the situation here. Otherwise, the entire Western Region is in danger of falling." Zhang Liang, who has fought all his life, doesn't know what price he will have to pay to capture the airship landing site.

The soldiers that Zhang Liang brought to Almaty were all cavalry, and only cavalry could maneuver quickly in the Western Regions.But now, the contiguous ruins have become a cavalry nightmare.Zhang Liang's cavalry can only transform into infantry for combat.The loss of combat power is more than half.

But the situation here must be reported to Li Er, Zhang Liang knew he was finished.But the Zhang family will continue to live in Chang'an, and Zhang Liang decided to go all out for the sake of future generations.

"Marshal! This subordinate will keep you on the airship and take it to Tingzhou." Han Dewang said suddenly.

"Crack!" Zhang Liang slapped Han Dewang with a backhand.

"If someone else was here, your leader of Liuyang would have moved. You are not allowed to say anything to shake the morale of the army. I will never leave Almaty and leave my brothers behind." Zhang Liang stared viciously and was stunned. Han Dewang.

Han Dewang was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he didn't even cover his burning face with his hands.It is a shame for an official to flatter the horse's hoof.

"The subordinates are willing to lead the team to take back the landing site." Han Dewang shouted loudly.

"Don't go! Remember, you are the officer here. Your position is to command here! Zhang Juzhi, you take Lao Tzu's personal soldiers and seize the landing site. Then drive the airship into the air and report the situation here to the Your Majesty knows."

Zhang Liang still kept a little selfishness, and he couldn't leave.Even if he fled Almaty, a charge of desertion could clean him up.It would be better to die than that. What Li Er, who was a commander in chief, hated the most was running away.It is not a pity to die by yourself, but the descendants of the Zhang family will still enjoy wealth.

And Zhang Liang was afraid that the bastard Han Dewang would run away, in case he did.Almaty's military spirit will collapse almost immediately.I don't want to die so soon, even if I stick to the inner city, Zhang Liang is ready to give it a go.

"No!" Zhang Juzhi looked at Lao Tzu and said his promise.Rush out with the soldiers!

As soon as the soldiers with top helmets and armor rushed out of the bunker, they were attacked by arrows like a rainstorm.The arrow hit the shield, making a "clinking" sound.Zhang Juzhi felt his arms go numb for a while, but he didn't expect the Persian arrows to be so powerful.

It seemed that the armor on his body was not strong. "Everyone, be careful and protect your body with shields. Their crossbow arrows can shoot through their armor!" When Zhang Juzhi shouted loudly, some soldiers fell to the ground by accident.The soldiers who were not covered by shields were immediately shot like hedgehogs.

Sure enough, Tang Jun's armor couldn't withstand the powerful crossbow arrows.

This also has something to do with the distance of the battle between the two sides. The distance of a hundred steps is the time to maximize the power of the crossbow.

Zhang Juzhi didn't have time to be afraid, and followed the people in the front row holding the big shields and continued to move forward.Those shield players who were shot to death were immediately replaced by someone.He raised his shield again to cover the robes behind him.

"Buzz!" Zhang Juzhi heard a scalp-numbing voice, "Ba Niu...!" Before he finished shouting, a soldier beside him had been shot through by the huge crossbow with a shield.The powerful crossbow bolts penetrated the bodies of the three people all the way, and the three people were strung together like candied haws, falling to the ground and howling incessantly.

The powerful crossbow arrows struck again, and several soldiers were shot into hedgehogs.

Zhang Juzhi's heart was about to jump out of his chest, fortunately this was not a gunpowder crossbow.Otherwise, I would have been blown up by now!

Once again, the eight-ox crossbow shot over, and several soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Zhang Juzhi frantically advanced ten steps, only to find that the opponent did not continue to launch.Immediately, I was overjoyed: "Brothers, they only have two eight-ox crossbows. And there is no gunpowder crossbow! Go! If you pass these hundred steps, you can become famous. Go!"

The guards began to charge like a tide, advancing to only twenty or thirty steps.Suddenly the Persians on the opposite side threw black objects one after another, and almost at the same time Tang Jun's camp also threw out smoking things one after another.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...!
Violent explosions sounded one after another, and many people on both sides were thrown into the air by the air waves.When the throwing distance of the grenade was reached, both sides threw it without hesitation.

"Come on!" The grenade killed many Tang soldiers, but it also killed many Persians.

There were still a dozen steps away, and Zhang Juzhi threw away the shield in his hand like crazy.Waving a horizontal knife in his hand, he rushed towards the Persians howling like a wild beast.In the camp of the Persians, some guys in black armor also rushed out.

Tang Jun, who was black and armored, collided fiercely with the Persian who was also in black armor.The sound of the clash of weapons, the screams of people, the sound of vicious cursing, and the "poof" and "poof" sounds of steel knives cutting into the flesh were all mixed together.

Zhang Juzhi slashed at the opponent's armor, but the sharp horizontal knife did not cut through the opponent's armor.This made Zhang Juzhi very surprised, the horizontal knife in his hand was not the standard horizontal knife of the Tang Army.It is the Bailian Hengdao, which is much better than the standard one, which was a birthday present from his father on his 15th birthday.Half of my reputation in the capital was earned by relying on this horizontal knife.

Unexpectedly, it couldn't cut through the armor of the Persians.It is conceivable that the standard horizontal knives of ordinary Tang troops must not be able to cut through their armor.

"Dang!" He was also hit on the shoulder, but the other party's scimitar did not cut through Zhang Juzhi's armor.

Zhang Juzhi's heart relaxed a little, it seemed that Datang's armor was no worse than theirs.

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was slightly dazed, the horizontal knife in Zhang Juzhi's hand pierced the other party's neck like lightning.The horizontal knife got in through the gap between the armor and the helmet, and the tall soldier on the other side immediately lost all his strength and fell to the ground.Blood flowed continuously along the armor.

There was no time to beat each other like they were forging iron, the horizontal knife in Zhang Juzhi's hand turned into a sharp sword.Specially select those fierce soldiers to carry out the assassination.

In fighting in this situation, the horizontal knife has more advantages than the curved knife.Because the horizontal knife is straight, the puncture function is very good.The scimitar in the hands of the Persians is difficult to achieve the piercing effect.

The Persians began to be killed and retreated, and those Persian crossbowmen only had thin leather armor.He was no match for the heavily armored warriors of the Tang army. The armor on Zhang Juzhi's body was already covered with white marks.

Suddenly, a thick smoke appeared in front of his eyes.

"I fuck your grandma!"
