Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 146 Siege Battle(1/2)

"Attack!" Following Li Daen's order, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed up carrying simple siege ladders. Most of these people from the Western Regions were different from the Central Plains people. They were tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, and looked extremely powerful.

, like wild beasts, some Kunlun slaves were even darker-skinned, holding maces in their hands, and were extremely powerful. When the soldiers of the Tang army saw this, they felt a little scared, and some were so timid that they could not even hold the weapons in their hands.

"Humph! It depends on me." Lu Zhaoying saw it clearly, his eyes lit up, and a ray of light shot out from the leopard's eyes. He snatched the bow and arrow from the hands of an archer beside him, opened his bow and nocked the arrow, and saw a sharp roar shooting out of the air.

, even among the thousands of troops, it was so shocking that the sharp arrow shot directly towards Li Daen.

"Commander, be careful." Upon seeing this, a soldier next to Li Da'en rushed towards Li Da'en. Li Da'en was caught off guard and was knocked off his horse. Just as he was about to teach the soldier a lesson, he heard several screams from behind.

Huh, I looked back and saw blood stains on the chests of several guards, and a blood hole appeared on their chests. When Li Da'en saw this, his face turned pale with fright.

Although the guards' uniforms were not as good as mine, the armor on their bodies was all Mingguang armor. They wore silk clothes under the armor to protect themselves from being hurt by bows and arrows. I didn't expect Lu Zhaoying's arrow to be so powerful. Not only

It can penetrate transparent light armor, penetrate silk, and kill people. What's even more terrifying is that the opponent's bow and arrow can penetrate several people. This is what is scary. It is conceivable that if this personal guard hadn't hit him just now

I'm afraid I will be shot to death by this bow and arrow. When the time comes, not to mention the victory, even these tens of thousands of soldiers will undoubtedly die. When thinking of this, a trace of cold sweat appeared on Li Daen's forehead, and his figure couldn't help but

He hid behind him and never appeared in front again.

The Tang troops on the tower could see it clearly and couldn't help but cheer loudly. They opened their bows and arrows and shot at the rebels. For a time, the rebels suffered numerous casualties and screams. Only Lu Zhaoying secretly felt pity. If she could

Shoot Li Daen to death with one arrow. I'm afraid this battle won't have to be fought. However, it is still good to boost the morale of the army.

"Four generals, what a great shot." At this time, Cen Wenwen and others also rushed over, each bowing to Lu Zhaoying.

"Why are you gentlemen here? Bows and arrows have no eyes, so you'd better be careful." Seeing this, Lu Zhaoying couldn't help but said nervously.

"If you don't come, how can you see the great general's magic shot?" Xu Jingzong said with a smile, with a hint of flattery on his face. Everyone saw this and secretly despised him.

"I don't dare to take it seriously." Lu Zhaoying said, holding up her hands.

"Four Generals, how long can we defend Chang'an City? The longer I wait here, the longer Your Highness will be able to save a lot of energy." Changsun Wuji glanced at the bottom of the city, only to see bows and arrows flying everywhere.

The sound of fighting continued, and many bows and arrows were aimed at the enemy tower. They were so frightened that they quickly retracted their heads.

"Lord Changsun, don't worry. Although these people are tall, except for that group of people, the others are just a mob and not worth mentioning." Lu Zhaoying pointed to a red team in the distance and said.

"There are probably the elite soldiers Pei Ju trained in the Western Regions, about five thousand in number." Cen Wenwen glanced into the distance. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Although the number is small, they are all elite troops. They are indeed the same as these Western Region cavalry.

It can’t be compared.”

"It's a pity that I don't have many soldiers and horses in my hands, otherwise I would have gone to charge for a while." Lu Zhaoying showed a look of regret on his face, but his eyes shone with a strong fighting spirit.

"General, this is not possible." Cen Wenwen said quickly: "General, this Li Dayen is probably waiting for the general to leave the city to fight with him in the field! General, please look."….

Lu Zhaoying looked in the direction pointed by his right hand, and saw dust and smoke not far away on the right. It was obvious that a large group of people was ambushing here, most likely for the cavalry. Apparently, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was out of the city to fight with them.

, raided his rear. He nodded immediately and said: "This Li Daen is still quite good, he almost fell into the opponent's plan. Mr. Cen reminded me."

"What I'm worried about is the black smoke." Changsun Wuji showed a trace of worry on his face.

"How?" Cen Wenwen asked in surprise.

"Master Pushe has never been to the grassland. If you have been to the grassland, you will know that the reason why the Turks are so powerful is not because they have many cavalry, but more importantly, their cavalry shooting. Li Da'en has resisted the grassland cavalry for many years, and the Turks' cavalry tactics

I’m afraid he’s learned it too. If the official guessed correctly, if the opponent’s cavalry can’t wait for the general to leave the city, they will come down to the city and deal with us like a Turkic attack.”

"Turkic cavalry and shooting?" Lu Zhaoying's expression changed.

"Is it really that powerful?" A look of fear appeared on Xu Jingzong's face.

"Yes, the Turks are very powerful in cavalry and shooting." Fang Xuanling also nodded.

"They are coming." Du Ruhui said with dark clouds on his face, looking at the rising black smoke on the right. Everyone looked and saw the black smoke coming slowly, and then the ground shook. Everyone stood on the wall of Chang'an City

From the top, one could feel the shaking of the city wall, and then they saw cavalrymen in dark black armor. They held scimitars in their hands, and bows and arrows were hung on the victory hooks. Most of them were dressed as Turks, and they were all covered in black armor.

Outside the black bright armor, there are about ten thousand of them.

"Why are there so many?" Cen Wenwen and others looked surprised on their faces and looked at each other. Information about the strength of Li Daen's men had long been passed on to Cen Wenwen and others, but they did not expect that his men would

There are so many troops, and the most important thing is that there are so many cavalry here who are good at riding and shooting, which is surprising.

"I'm afraid this is the hidden strength of the Li clan." Cen Wenwen said with a trace of worry on his face: "When Li Da'en was demoted to Lingzhou, our intelligence only focused on the situation in Chang'an City and lost attention to Li Da'en.

, none of us thought that Li Daen’s men actually had such an army."

"Be careful to hide!" Lu Zhaoying showed a hint of anxiety on his black face, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "My lords, it's better to leave the city."

After hearing this, Cen Wenwen and others nodded and said: "This will help the four generals." At that moment, everyone hurried down the city tower. After all, the existence of these people on the city tower was a burden and they needed someone to protect them. As a result,

Chang'an City, which was already short of major generals, became even more nervous. What's more, Lu Zhaoying was also a battle-hardened person, and everything on the battlefield was far more powerful than anyone else's.

"Chi!" Suddenly a sharp whistle came over. Lu Zhaoying looked over and saw a general wearing a wolf helmet at the head of the black-clad archery team. He was holding a golden long bow in his hand, and then a sharp arrow.

The arrow shot out of the air, and its target was pointed at Lu Zhaoying on the enemy tower.

"Shing Dy!" Lu Zhaoying's face suddenly changed, and he yelled: "Raise the shield!" The voice was so shrill that it reached the sky, and the shocked Cen Wenwen and others' expressions changed.

Ming Di. At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, after Mao Dun became the prince of the Xiongnu, his father gave birth to a younger brother with the woman he loved, so he fell out of favor. Moreover, his father wanted to depose him and send him to the Yuezhi Kingdom as a hostage.

As soon as he arrived at the Yuezhi Kingdom, his father launched an attack on the Yuezhi Kingdom. It was obvious that his father wanted to kill him. He stole a fast horse and managed to escape. When he came back, his father made no show of his cards and asked him to do thousands of things.

The leader of the horse. So Mao Dun made a sound, and the sound was a sound, and the sound was an arrow. The sound was a sounding arrow, and the arrow made a sound when it was shot. Anyone who missed the shot with the sound was killed, and then he shot his horse again.

His beloved wife followed him on the left and right. Finally, Mao Dun went hunting with his father and shot him with a hammer. He followed him on the left and right and shot him. "Then he punished his stepmother, younger brother and ministers who did not obey," and established himself as a Chanyu...

.

When Lu Zhaoying saw the opponent shooting Mingdi, he immediately understood the direction of the opponent's attack. Although he relied on his bravery, he did not dare to think that he could save his life among more than 10,000 bows and arrows. He immediately ordered people to put up shields to defend against

Upcoming bows and arrows.

"Bang!" A gritty voice sounded, and a dark cloud appeared on the tower of Chang'an City, and everyone covered their heads with Lu Zhaoying.

"Ah! Ah!" Countless screams rang in Lu Zhaoying's ears. Apparently, although there were wooden shields for defense, many people were still injured by bows and arrows, or even shot to death. Lu Zhaoying's eyes turned red after hearing this.

In this situation, there is no other way except passive defense. This makes Lu Zhaoying, a violent person who advocates offense, feel aggrieved.

"Bang!" There was another loud noise under Chang'an City, and another dark cloud appeared out of thin air and fell on the watchtower. In an instant, there were countless casualties again.

"Abandon the shield and fire the arrows!" Finally, after two rounds of arrow rain, there was no loud noise anymore, only the sound of horse hooves. Lu Zhaoying immediately knew that due to the speed of the war horses, within a short distance,

He could only shoot two rounds of arrows, so he quickly seized this gap to fend off the enemy troops who were about to attack the tower.

Sure enough, within two rounds of arrow rain, many ladders appeared on the city wall, and countless rebels climbed up along the ladders. These people held scimitars in their mouths, and there was a trace of bloodthirsty light in their eyes.

Staring at the battlements on the city wall.

"Let go!" Lu Zhaoying should be grateful for the strength and height of Chang'an City at this time. Although there are many siege ladders, they have the only drawback, that is, they cannot reach the city wall crenellations at all, so the archers of Zuo Yiwei's army can easily

Killing the rebels on the ladder. For a moment, you can clearly see that many rebels fell from the ladder and fell to the ground, motionless. They were obviously dead and could not die anymore.

"Chi!" Another sound came over.

Lu Zhaoying lowered his head fiercely again. The soldiers had also accumulated some experience at this time. They covered their heads with shields and lowered their whole heads under the battlements of the city wall to block the flying arrows above their heads.

"Bang!" Suddenly a loud noise came from the watch tower. Lu Zhaoying looked over, with a look of horror on his face. It turned out that it was not the soldiers who were unlucky this time, but the watch tower behind him. Now on this watch tower

, he had already been shot into a hedgehog in the last two rounds of arrows. This time another hail of arrows came, and it suddenly became the last straw that broke the camel's back. He fell down with a roar, and was immediately killed again.

Many soldiers were killed, and even Cen Wenwen and others not far from the city changed their expressions.

"What an amazing horseman and shooter." Cen Wenwen said with a trace of worry on his face.

"If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the four generals to hold on." Fang Xuanling also frowned and said.

"There is a lack of troops in the city. Even if this kind of shooting can't hurt many of our soldiers, it will still be a big blow to morale!" Du Ruhui shook his head and said. Everyone nodded after hearing this. After all, this kind of fighting method

How frustrating it was to be beaten by the opponent without even firing an arrow. This situation was the biggest blow to morale.

"Hey, although this kind of shooting is powerful, it has a drawback." Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "That is the consumption of arrows. There are at most twelve arrows in the quiver, and these people can shoot twelve rounds at most.

, As for Li Dayen's army, not only was it short of food and grass, but more importantly, it was short of arrows. How could he bring so much baggage when he was marching a long way? Although shooting is powerful, what good is shooting without arrows?

What are you afraid of?"

"That's right." Cen Wenwen also nodded and said, "I'm afraid Li Da'en won't be able to use this kind of shooting a few times."

Li Daen, who was separated from everyone by a door, also frowned. He could not deny that this method of attack could achieve great results in a short time, but it was too expensive. The arrows he carried were already scarce.

, now that the road back is cut off and the baggage and food are in short supply, these arrows will be used one by one. I am afraid that by then, before the city of Chang'an is captured, my own arrows will have been exhausted. I have lost Ben.

Without the protection of the archer, Li Daen still doesn’t know if he can capture Chang’an!…

"Retreat!" Li Da'en finally issued the order to retreat. If he attacks Chang'an like this, it is obviously impossible. Li Da'en was immediately in a dilemma, but after all, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield. Even in adversity, he has to

Force yourself to calm down and think calmly about everything in front of you.

"Finally, we have withdrawn our troops." Lu Zhaoying, who was on top of the city tower, sighed and collapsed on the city wall, with a look of exhaustion on his face. Not only him, but also the generals and soldiers on the city wall were leaning on the battlements of the city wall at this time.

,, holding weapons in his arms, with a look of survival on his face. Although this war lasted only a short time, only an hour or two, the danger in it was probably that the Zuo Yiwei army had followed Lu

The most powerful one since Zhaoci Zonghengguanzhong. Look, there are more than a thousand corpses of Paoze left on the city wall. If this continues, it may not take long.

"General, Master Pushe, please come to the Han Palace quickly, General." At this time, a servant from the Han Palace ran over and said to Lu Zhaoying.

"Mr. Cen?" Lu Zhaoying's face changed, and she thought to herself: "This Cen Wenwen has great supernatural powers and is good at calculations. Maybe he can come up with some ways to deal with Li Dayen." He did not dare to neglect at the moment and quickly ordered Qin Yong to take over the city defense.

Riding a war horse, he walked towards the Han Palace.

Before Lu Zhaoying entered Yin'an Hall, he heard a roar coming from the hall. Lu Zhaoying could tell that it was the voice of Lu Zhaobing who had just been rescued.

"Cen Wenwen, please return the bright moon to me quickly, otherwise I will punish your nine tribes. Even if my eldest brother is here, he will not stop me." Lu Zhaobing roared loudly. Beside him, Lu Zhaosong and others
