Chastity Layman

Chai Shao drew his sword and issued an order for the whole army to attack. The slogan was very domineering, destroy this imperial food.

Kill the 60,000 Tuyuhun army, and then have breakfast.

Fifty thousand against sixty thousand, the number is still slightly weaker, and it should be no advantage to forcefully attack a Tuyuhun camp, but for famous Tang generals like Chai Shao, it is a bit difficult to fight five of them. One hits three, that's called evenly matched. If it's one-on-two, it's called bullying barbarians.

Now it's almost a one-on-one situation. This is already bullying the weak by the strong. If you can't win, then go home and take your children. Are you still worthy of leading soldiers to fight?

Even though the army is not all Guanlong Mansion soldiers at this time, but is filled with a large number of vassals, the combat effectiveness of these vassals is still very strong, and they have fully adapted to the command and combat system of the Tang army.

In Chai Shao's view, although the Qiang barbarians commanded by the Tang army are still Qiang barbarians, their combat effectiveness has been doubled.

Countless soldiers surrounded the Tianzhu King's camp from all directions, using the most powerful move of the Tang army, covering the attack with saturated firepower, and covering the enemy camp with dense cluster lobs, making the Tuyuhun people in the camp unable to lift their heads at all. Come, and the light cavalry galloped wildly under cover of fire.

More infantry also charged on horseback in the back, trying to shorten the distance as much as possible, and did not give the enemy archers a chance to counterattack.

Fight close combat, fight hand-to-hand combat.

As the sky grew brighter, Tang Jun's offensive became more and more fierce.

Tuyuhun was surrounded on all sides at this time, but he still had to bear the violent impact of seven thousand Tang troops like tigers descending from the mountain. Lao Cheng waited desperately at this time, no matter what fences and trenches you had or archers, the cavalry and horses in front were all in armor, and the knights even Put on two heavy armors, armed like an iron man, and then hang a shield on his arm, and a long rod in his right hand.

Lao Cheng even took the lead himself, and tied himself to the mount with an iron chain and belt, so as to ensure that even if he was shot to death during the impact, he would not fall off the horse, and the horse would continue to rush down the mountain to open the way.

Eight hundred such knights were armed.

Then there are 1,200 temporarily modified heavy armored infantry wearing double armor and holding a large shield behind them, and then among the rest, there are 1,000 light cavalry and 5,000 archers.

"rush!"

Lao Cheng took the lead, and on the narrow path, the two horses drove together, and the armor was chained.

With countless feathered arrows against them, they rushed forward regardless.

Behind, five thousand archers kept drawing their bows and releasing arrows, moving forward while shooting.

Facing the pickets, fences, and ditches, 800 temporarily built heavy cavalry rushed over abruptly, and horses kept falling down. The knights even locked up the horses, and people died when the horses died.

If a man dies and a horse does not die, the war horse will continue to charge forward with its companions.

The horse lance was shattered, Cheng Yaojin smashed it with a steel whip, he did not know how many Tianling caps were smashed, the steel whip was also taken away, and Lao Cheng immediately snatched a long-handled ax from a Qiang man. The man chopped Lao Cheng with this axe, and his horse with one axe. Fortunately, the horse was also bound with thick armor.

He snatched the long-handled heavy ax and slashed left and right while roaring. The rough long-handled iron ax was actually quite handy, and as soon as the ax passed by, the Tuyuhun man whose ax he had snatched from him fell to the sky. With another axe, another insidious guy who stabbed his ass with a spear was shot in the head.

The war horses are wearing thick armor, with bows and arrows and spears rushing forward by inertia, but the trench fences in front of them are holding back horses, and there are more and more spears and axes. The temporary heavy horses run slower and slower, and more and more fall down. .

Lao Cheng was protected by his own soldiers desperately, but he was also bruised and bruised. Fortunately, his armor was thick and he hadn't suffered any fatal injuries for a while, but he was still bleeding and his whole body was red. He couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy's. of.

Eight hundred iron cavalry were almost wiped out under the wild horse stage soon. They made a hole with their lives, and 1,200 temporary heavy infantry in thick armor filled in behind, tearing out a bigger hole with all their strength. .

The light cavalry finally went down the mountain and rushed into the enemy camp.

Of the 5,000 men behind, many of them donated their armor early on to add defense to the soldiers in front. They only wore an iron helmet, and then drew their bows and arrows, shooting arrows one by one without stopping.

Outside, under Chai Shao's command, the 50,000 Tang army and its vassals were also constantly advancing inward, tearing apart one line of defense after another, and the Tianzhu tribe had to mobilize more soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense.

Cheng Yaojin finally felt a lot less pressure.

Step by step, every step forward, there will be many dead bodies and blood flowing all over the ground.

There are seven thousand Tang troops on the mountain, and there are hundreds of casualties every moment.

Finally, the front was clear, and Lao Cheng suddenly realized that there was no enemy in front of him.

They killed through the defense line at the foot of the mountain, and looking forward, not far away, the Tang flag was flying, and countless Tang troops and vassal Qiang cavalry attacked all the way.

After nearly half of the casualties, Lao Cheng could finally take a deep breath. The Tianzhu Department was not that strong, and they still didn't hold on for too long.

An hour after the start of the war, the old brothers Cheng and Liu Lancheng finally met again in the camp of the Tianzhu Division. When the old brothers met, they felt as if they had passed away.

"Old Liu, are you still alive?"

Liu Lancheng patted Lao Cheng, "You're not dead yet, how could I die, why are there so many arrows stuck in my body, are you pretending to be a hedgehog?"

"Pretend to be your mother, I was shot."

"Can we still fight?" Lao Liu asked.

"It's you, can you still fight!" Old Cheng was unconvinced.

"Then we old brothers will continue to go shoulder to shoulder and chop them." Old Liu flicked the zhangbamo knife in his hand, showing a gloomy and cold look. Lao Cheng shook the big ax in his hand, feeling that his hands were trembling, but he pretended to be calm and refused to show timidity.

"kill."

The two brothers were covered in blood and bruised, but they both laughed hard while slashing wildly with knives and axes, like two lunatics.

On the other side, brothers Xue Wanchu led the Qingqi with only five hundred riders left, and began to accelerate and gallop. The two brothers gritted their teeth and shot while charging, venting their repressed dissatisfaction.

At noon, after fighting for more than two hours, the 60,000 Tianzhu king army completely collapsed under the Tang army's encirclement from all sides and the offensive of the flowering in the center. They were only twenty miles away from the mountain, and the 40,000 strong Tianzhu troops in Xidatan and the 130,000 newly defeated soldiers from Fuyun never showed their heads.

The Tianzhu army, fighting alone and bloody, became more and more desperate, but the Tang army kept shouting all kinds of slogans on purpose, sometimes it was Fu Yun who was captured, and sometimes it was the Tianzhu king who ran away.

Waiting left and right, but in the end everyone collapsed. Tang Jun fought more and more fiercely, but they became more flustered as they fought.

He wanted to retreat down the mountain, but found that Chai Shao himself was sitting at the intersection. He actually erected several camp fences, placed many horse-repelling fences, and dug many pits. Those fences repelled horses, and many of them were obviously designed to break through the Tuyuhun camp. Behind the fence, it was dragged over.

Many of those who dug the pit were Tianzhu soldiers who had just been captured on the battlefield. They were driven here, threatening to dig ditches and erect fences with bows and arrows.

The rain of arrows all over the sky shot down the Tianzhu army trying to rush down the stage in front of the fences of those trenches time and time again. The Tianzhu army finally despaired and no longer wanted to rush down the beach to join the other two armies, but When they began to scatter in all directions, hoping to find a chance of escape, they had completely failed at this time.

A branch of Tang cavalry began to divide, encircle and annihilate them.

More Tang army infantry and some vassals formed a dense army formation on the beach platform, intercepted them with spears, shot them with bows and crossbows, and drove them to the side of the Yellow River, and finally they were cornered.

It's hard to fly with wings.

After rows of Tianzhu men were shot down, Chai Shao finally rode over to surrender.

Abandon weapons and kneel down to avoid death.

The desperate Tianzhu soldiers began to surrender gang by gang.

After seeing tens of thousands of Tianzhu soldiers finally surrendering one after another, giving up resistance and breaking through, Chai Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quickly, call Wang Xiaojie, Liu Shenli, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Lancheng and other generals, and immediately lead the army down the mountain and tell them that the mountain is about to lose its hold."

It's not that Tianzhu King at the foot of the mountain never thought of saving the mountain, but they were blocked at Xidatan and couldn't get through.

When camping, the land of Xidatan was flat and open, and it was close to the river, so it was easy to camp and feed the horses to drink water. As a result, when the Tang army made a surprise attack, they were divided into two halves. Tens of feet.

Gao Zhensheng led 2,000 cavalry to immediately block the intersection. The 40,000 soldiers of King Tianzhu could neither go up the mountain to reinforce the 60,000 troops in the headquarters, nor cross the bridge to join Fuyun at Dongdatan.

Although King Tianzhu immediately sent troops to charge and kill this important passage, but Gao Zhensheng fought back desperately, using spears and shields and repelling horses to seal the tens of feet of intersection, and using a strong bow to fight back. The crossbow killed waves of cavalry.

After Liu Rengui rushed down from the mountain with three thousand archers for reinforcements, Gao Zhensheng felt much more relaxed.

The army infantry archer on the right side of Sanqianlong stood in the back row and output with all his strength, relying on the bonus of the narrow terrain, it made Tianzhu King terribly miserable.

To the north is the high slope platform, and to the right is the Yellow River. There is only such a narrow passage tens of feet wide, which was blocked by the Tang army.

No matter how powerful Qingqi is, if he rushes through such an opening, he will die.

Wave after wave, send wave after wave.

The two sides fought all morning.

The final result was that more than half of Gao Zhensheng and Liu Rengui's 5,000 troops died, and Tianzhu King left 5,000 or 6,000 corpses there, a real battlefield meat grinder.

King Tianzhu had to save the mountain, he had to break through the hole, and Gao Zhensheng and Liu Rengui also understood the importance of this hole, so he defended it without retreating.

By the time the sound got weaker and weaker after reaching the top of the mountain, King Tianzhu was in despair.

The King in his camp was likewise hopeless.

They all knew that the 60,000 Tianzhu army on the mountain was probably in danger, and once the 60,000 people were gone, the tens of thousands of Tang troops on the mountain would be killed.

Tianzhu Wang and Zun Wang, the sons-in-law, began to have a fierce quarrel.
