The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 469
Countless arrows rained down from the sky, mixed with rolling logs and boulders, and attacked Luo Shixin's men and horses together.The ten thousand rebels were terrified, caught off guard, and had no place to hide. There were countless people who fell off their horses with arrows, were crushed into mud by rolling logs and stones, and were knocked off the cliff.

Luo Shixin quickly sent an order to retreat.But at this time, the rebel army was already in chaos, screams, people shouting and neighing endlessly.The road here is not wide, and even the military order cannot be passed on. The soldiers who received the order turned around and ran back, while the soldiers who did not receive the order were still rushing forward. Many horses were frightened, trampled and collided with each other, and fell off the cliff. The number of people is innumerable.

Luo Shixin saw that the command was not effective, so he had to turn the horse's head, brandish the big gun, dial the arrow, pick the log, block the stone, protect his body and protect his horse, trying to rush out.But easier said than done?After the rain of arrows, rolling logs and stones, the Tang army ambushed everywhere, shouting and rushing down from the high slope. For a while, the mountains and plains were full of Tang troops.

Although Luo Shixin was invincible in force, his energy was limited after all. There were too many Tang troops, and he didn't even charge out several times. In time, they finally broke through the Tang army's encirclement and ran a few miles inside. The ground suddenly opened up, the cliff disappeared here, and small hills appeared in front of them, sparsely covered with trees and wormwood. Grass, although the branches and leaves are gone and the flowers fade, can be used as a temporary position against the Tang army.

In the evening, Luo Shixin took the remnants of the defeated general to occupy the small hill, and the Tang army was unable to attack it for a while.At this time, there were only three to four hundred people left around Luo Shixin, and there were still many injured, lingering here.

Liu Heitai saw clearly from the side, sneered, and ordered the Tang army to stop attacking, leaving 1 troops to surround the hill.He knew that Luo Shixin was brave, so in order to prevent Luo Shixin from breaking out, he ordered the Tang soldiers to spread bows and arrows, trip ropes and trap horses.If Luo Shixin escapes, kill them all.

After the confession, Liu Heita took the remaining nearly 4 horses to ambush outside the north gate of Hengshui City overnight. He planned to use Luo Shixin as bait to lure Du Yi into the bait.

In fact, Du Yi in the city was already in a hurry. Luo Shixin did not listen to his advice because he was headstrong, and insisted on going out of the city to fight Liu Heitai.When the two were fighting fiercely under the city, he saw Liu Heita's tricks, and sent an order to withdraw the troops with a gong at the top of the city, but Luo Shixin did not come back, and chased him farther and farther, until finally he disappeared.

Du Yi was anxious, but he didn't dare to leave the city easily, fearing that he would fall into Liu Heita's trick and lose Hengshui.He had no choice but to send people to inquire about Luo Shixin's news, and at the same time ordered people to stick to the city and wait for Luo Shixin's news in the city.

But Luo Shixin did not return to the city until it was dark. At this time, the small school who inquired about the news came in and reported that Luo Shixin was ambushed by Liu Heitai more than 30 miles north of the city, and the ten thousand rebels were completely lost. Hundreds of people were trapped on a small hill, in danger.

Hearing this, Du Yi was not calm anymore, he couldn't see death without saving him, and he didn't think deeply about it, so he quickly ordered 1 horses, and asked a confidant general to lead the rest of the soldiers to guard the city. Thousands of people rushed out of the city with torches, intending to rescue Luo Shixin.But his front team was not far from the moat, and the rear team hadn't left the city yet, Liu Heita came out with an ambush, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of horses fought in scuffle under Hengshui City.

Robbing the city is Liu Heitai's forte. In Liyang, General Qu Tutong suffered from Liu Heitai's loss in this regard.Today Liu Heitai repeated his old trick, and the young Du Yi really fell for it.

This time the rebel army was caught off guard, and there was a sudden chaos. Du Yi retreated while fighting. He planned to retreat to the city, but the Tang army followed suit.Liu Heita took the lead and rushed into the city gate, but before the gate could be closed, Tang Jun followed the general and rushed in.

In this way, tens of thousands of horses fought in the city. Because the Tang army had an absolute advantage in strength, Liu Heita occupied Hengshui in the middle of the night.During the melee, Du Yi encountered Liu Heitai. After more than 20 rounds of fighting between the two, Du Yi was picked off by Liu Heitai with a single shot.

After Liu Heitai occupied Hengshui, he did not stop killing. Regardless of whether it was the rebels or the people, whether they surrendered or tried to escape, Liu Heitai ordered that all be killed. This is the massacre of the city.In this way, the bloody killing continued until dawn. Except for a few rebels and some ordinary people who escaped from the city overnight, the rest were all killed by Liu Heita's men.

In the early morning, the bloodbathed Hengshui City regained its calm, but the city was in a mess inside and outside the city, with corpses everywhere, piled up like mountains, blood flowing into rivers, and many houses were still burning. Smoke, the bones of innocent people can be seen everywhere, it is too horrible to look at.

Liu Heitai didn't care about this, this guy didn't feel tired after fighting all night. While arranging the city defense, ordering people to clean up the battlefield and put out the remaining fire, he looked at his brilliant victory with satisfaction and smiled proudly.

After finishing all this work, he took a nap in the tent for more than an hour, then got up, flew on his horse and led his men to the hill that besieged Luo Shixin.

It was already afternoon when Liu Heitai arrived near the hill.At this time, there is a fierce battle here.However, only Luo Shixin was left alone. However, after such a long bloody battle, Luo Shixin was still so mighty, and the Tang soldiers who approached him were swept away by the big iron guns in his hands.

It turned out that after a night's rest, Luo Shixin led the three 400 troops to break through again when the sky seemed to be half-dawn.But within half an hour this time, the three or four hundred volunteers were all killed in battle, and none of them bowed their knees and surrendered.

There was only one Luo Shixin left, galloping his horse and wielding his gun like crazy, rushing from left to right. Tang Jun went up to one floor, was killed by him, and then went up to another floor and was killed by him again, fighting fiercely until Liu Heita appeared on the battlefield again in the afternoon superior.

At this time, Luo Shixin didn't know how many people he had killed. The big gun in his hand turned blood red, and the tip of the gun was also blunt. Sitting on the horse, including Luo Shixin himself, seemed to be fished out of blood, turning into a bloody man and a bloody horse.

However, Luo Shixin hadn't left the small hill very far from the fierce battle since before dawn.At this time, Luo Shixin also saw Liu Heita, his eyes were red, and he rushed towards Liu Heita, yelling at his horse and shaking his gun.

Countless Tang soldiers and Tang generals rushed over to encircle them, but it was of no avail at all. Wherever Luo Shixin's guns went, Tang soldiers and Tang generals flew all over the sky like being blasted by shells.

Suddenly, several tripping locks rose from the ground out of thin air. These ropes were as thick as fingers, but they were very strong, and they were all more than one meter above the ground.Luo Shixin's war horse was not bad either. After fighting for such a long time with his master on his back, he jumped over three tripping ropes, fell to the ground, foamed at the mouth, died of exhaustion, and died of exhaustion.

Luo Shixin was thrown too far, fell to the ground, and the big iron gun in his hand was also dropped.

Hundreds of Tang soldiers and General Tang rushed forward, using knives and guns to force Luo Shixin, who was still struggling to get up, and took out ropes to capture him alive.Unexpectedly, Luo Shixin suddenly waved his iron arm, fended off the sword and gun in front of him, grabbed a Tang soldier as a weapon and swung it up again, killing and wounding several Tang soldiers, Luo Shixin suddenly became motionless, and after a few shots The spear had pierced his belly.

Luo Shixin yelled, his facial features moved, he held the spear in one hand, and tightly grasped a bloody limb in the other hand. It was the half leg of a Tang soldier. He stared in the direction of Linyi City and knelt down on the ground. Die desperately.

Such a tragic death can be described as shocking, weeping ghosts and gods, the battlefield of tens of thousands of horses was surprisingly quiet, and for half a minute, no one dared to approach.

Liu Heitai was also shocked. After admiring a few words in his heart, he took Luo Shixin's body and returned to Hengshui. He ordered people to hang the bodies of Luo Shixin and Du Yi on the top of the city for public display.

In this battle, Liu Heita took Hengshui in only one day at the small cost of thousands of casualties, three days earlier than the time limit given to him by Li Shimin, creating a legend in the history of human warfare.

While Liu Heikai was resting in the city and waiting for orders, he ordered someone to report the great victory to Li Shimin in a letter.When Liu Heitai was enjoying his spring breeze, someone came to report that Yang Yong's troops had already driven outside the city.
