Chapter 63: If We Don't Work Hard, We Are Waste
Chapter 63 If we don’t fight hard, we are just waste (first update)
"I want Liangzhou City to be safe and sound, I want to go thousands of miles of the Western Regions, and all ethnic groups in all countries tremble and obey under the general's horse hooves."
Chen Ying's words were loud and loud, while the generals were excited. At twelve hours a day, one night, the flying army was six hundred miles away, defeating the enemy, looking at the world, who else could I do?
Chen Ying took the lead in getting on the war horse and began to slowly ride it. In fact, the difference between walking and running is one word, but it is thousands of miles apart. In other words, the principle of walking is like walking. Whenever a person's foot always falls on the ground, the world record is three and a half hours, and the average speed is equivalent to 14.5 kilometers per hour. This speed is actually faster than normal running. The same is true for walking. The horse is walking on the ground with four legs. Although its speed is not as fast as the earliest speed of a war horse running, it is worse than lasting.
While ordering the troops to advance in a horse-drawn manner, Chen Ying silently muttered in his heart that he must hold on. In addition to his own dreams, Chen Ying also needs to protect his son, let him grow up safely, and let him succeed.
Marines on horseback are a great test for the soldiers' physical strength and endurance. Not to mention eating and sleeping, even peeing and shit must be solved on the horse's back, because time cannot be delayed.
In order to avoid peeing and shit on the horse's back, Chen Ying had to eat more dry food and drink more water like other soldiers before he was too hungry to bear it.
From noon to midnight, for six hours, Chen Ying drank less than half a liter of water and only ate only a few sips of dry food. Even if it was a horse, the physical strength of these war horses and soldiers had almost exhausted.
The soldier who was sleeping with his eyes closed accidentally fell off the horse's back and fell to the ground. Suddenly, a war horse carrying a marching tent foamed at the mouth and collapsed on the ground. The soldiers around him didn't even look at it, and directly removed the tent and lit the tent. The war horse that collapsed on the ground was also stabbed into the heart by the soldiers, ending its pain.
Luo Shixin walked behind Chen Ying silently. His mouth was filled with bubbles. I don’t know if it was because of lack of water or the cause of anger. Luo Shixin murmured: “Most of the war horses have reached their limit, let alone people. Brother Chen, brothers, brothers have tried their best and can’t hold on!”
"No...can you stick with it!" Chen Ying didn't care about it, so he drank a few sips of water and shouted at the top of his throat: "Brothers, Liangzhou City has our compatriots. Now Liangzhou City may be broken by the Western Turks at any time. Once Liangzhou City is broken, the robes in the city will definitely be slaughtered. We men are not afraid. If we don't have to pay, we will lose our heads and have a scar as big as a bowl, but the worst thing is our sisters. In such a riot, they will live a life worse than death! If we don't want our compatriots to suffer such destruction, we will strive to move forward! Before the Western Turks break through the city, we will teach the Turks how to be human with the hook, sickle, and vertical sword in our hands."
"Use hook and sickle spear and modao to teach the Turks how to be human!"
The soldiers of the Cavalry and the Modao Army were weakly echoed.
Chen Ying listened to this and said angrily: "It's all hell that didn't eat? I don't care what you do. I must arrive at the city of Liangzhou before noon tomorrow. I don't have to be a coward under my command. I can't arrive in Liangzhou tomorrow at noon tomorrow. In the future, let alone my Chen Ying's soldiers when I go out."
Chen Ying's voice sounded from time to time in the entire march. These soldiers seemed to be hypnotized by Chen Ying's voice. As long as they heard Chen Ying's voice sound, endless power was emitted on these soldiers.
In fact, the soldiers who have seen Chen Ying know very well that Chen Ying is not as tall as Luo Shixin, nor as strong as Zhang Shigui, and Zhang Huaiwei, but this man is the backbone in their hearts and their god.
The sound of horse hooves is skewed and the formation is skewed.
Su Dingfang looked at Chen Ying's illusory figure and felt an unreal feeling. He even wondered if he was dreaming. In six hours, six hours, their army actually arrived at Shoulu Mountain. If he had remembered it well, they had actually entered the territory of Wuwei County in the Han Dynasty, less than three hundred miles away from Liangzhou City.
From Mingsha County to Shoulu Mountain is almost 340 miles, and the marching lasts for six hours is 340 miles, which is like flying.
At the beginning, Chen Ying said that he had arrived in Liangzhou City in twelve hours. Su Dingfang thought Chen Ying was bragging, so he gave a task that was impossible to complete. However, before he knew it, the cavalry army actually did it. At this marching speed, it seemed that it was not impossible to arrive in Liangzhou City before noon tomorrow.
However, when Su Dingfang looked at the soldiers who were already shaking on the horse's back, he hesitated again. Now the soldiers have reached the extreme, can they still persevere?
Su Dingfang's heart was in his throat, but these soldiers were shaking all the way. When they were about to fall, a whip flower exploded in the air.
The soldiers who were about to fall immediately recovered and continued to rush.
...
In fact, the same state of mind as Su Dingfang was also the Khan of Tongye Hu. Every time he thought he could attack Liangzhou City, the defenders in Liangzhou City burst out with tenacious resistance, squeezed out the Western Turkic army that was swarming in.
Now that we have already dug up the city gate holes on all sides of Liangzhou City, he can take advantage of the number of people and launch an attack in the four city gate holes at the same time.
However, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Because each city gate is amazing, it can flood dozens or hundreds of people, even if the city gates are on all sides, the one-time investment of less than 1,000 troops is less than 1,000. But similarly, because only four city gate holes need to be defended, although the Anxi Dead soldiers caused great casualties to the ordinary Tang army, the army that can be used in the city gate holes is also less than 1,000.
Li Daozong can also arrange defensive forces calmly, and even replace the troops in a rhythmic and orderly manner to restore the elite troops' physical strength.
In fact, Li Daozong did not have many elite troops in his hands, only four Zhechong Mansion and more than 6,000 troops. Because Chen Ying's original Dingyuan Army was the old foundation. These soldiers were not only well-equipped, but also followed Chen Ying's style in war. They lined up into dense hook and sickle guns. In local fights, the Death Soldiers were often an Insuffering Death Soldier. At the same time, they faced several Tang soldiers. Although the hook and sickle gun could not penetrate the heavy armor of the Insuffer Soldiers, they could be beneficial.
The advantage of using the hook of the hook and sickle spear, hook the Anxi Death Soldier to the ground, and then dragged back to his own camp like a dead dog, and was dragged to the Tang army camp immediately faced countless horizontal knives or spears, and even the strong armor. In fact, the neck, face and underarms were all weaknesses. However, these Tang soldiers greeted the weaknesses of the Anxi Death Soldier, such as horizontal knives, hook and sickle spears, and even rods. They would smash the Anxi Death Soldier with their heads and minds.
Those dead soldiers who rest in peace were either crushed to the ground or surrendered immediately if they fell to the ground.
After all, the dead soldiers are human beings, and they all have the instinct and desire to survive. In order to survive, they can serve as dogs and cannon fodder for the Western Turks. When they encounter despair, they have no resistance to surrendering to the Tang people.
However, this small-scale battle was extremely fierce. In just one day, more than half of the Anxi soldiers, with more than 8,000 people, had been killed in battle. Correspondingly, the Tang army also suffered five or six thousand casualties.
Li Daozong was covered in blood and leaned against the crossbow chariot on the bed, laughing: "Tongye Hu, this thief chief, does not know how to use troops. If he attacked the city from all sides, the general manager would not be able to resist even if he had three heads and six arms. If he had known this, the general manager would have opened the four gates of Liangzhou City and guarded the four gates, so he would not have to lose so many soldiers!"
Although the battles in the four city gates in Liangzhou are extremely fierce and the shouts of killing are shocking. Every moment, soldiers are killed or injured, but in this way, the casualties have been greatly reduced.
When defending the Liangzhou city wall in the past, the Turkic army outside the Liangzhou city had tens of thousands of cavalry at the same time, and at the same time, the arrows were suppressed and covered archery on Liangzhou city. The arrows were like rain. In this case, the number of casualties of the Liangzhou city defenders rose sharply. Especially when Tongyehu used Greek fire, once a sea of fire formed on the city wall, hundreds or thousands of Tang soldiers were swept into the sea of fire.
It can be said that since Liangzhou was surrounded by the Western Turks, 70% of the casualties of the Tang army's guards were caused by bows and arrows or Greek fires of the Western Turks.
However, when attacking the city gate, the arrow rain of the Western Turkic army was suppressed and the Greek fire was no longer available. In this way, the casualties of the Tang army have been reduced a lot.
Under such circumstances, Anxi's death soldiers were unable to break through for a long time, and Tong Ye Hu was immediately anxious. He finally sent the most elite Fuli Army of the Western Turks.
With the commotion, Li Daozong could vaguely see the soldiers of the Western Turkic Li Army wearing silver armor waving caltrops and slowly advancing. These Western Turkic Li Army were also wearing heavy armor, but because of their tall figure, the weapons in their hands were not swords and guns, but iron caltrops made of fine steel. This heavy forty or fifty kilograms of heavy iron caltrops, which looked like maces, was like a lamp grass in the hands of the soldiers of the Western Turkic Li Army.
The attack of the Li army was very domineering. The caltrops in their hands kept the people in front of them, whether they were the Anxi soldiers or the Tang soldiers, and they smashed their heads heavily.
As the dark caltrops flew in the air, whether it was the Death Suffer or the Tang soldiers, they were smashed over one after another. The corpses in the city gate corridor were stacked several layers, and blood soaked to their ankles.
The dead soldiers of Anxi were already frightened. They ran away regardless of the situation. The result of the big sky scrambled to escape was that no one could escape and could only squeeze in and let others smash it.
The Tang soldiers were also in tears. The war was fierce. Even if they were hooked on the ground by hooks, sickles and guns, they swung the caltrops in their hands and swept them across, and seven or eight Tang soldiers were swept to the ground.
Puff puff puff...
Crack Crack Crack Crack…
The sound of caltrops hitting the head or breaking the legs and feet sounding from time to time.
The Tang army soldiers were beaten to retreat. A panicked Tang army general led to Li Daozong and said in panic: "Master Li, what should we do now?"
"Of course we have to fight! If we don't block these Turks and let them rush into the city, Liangzhou City will be over!" Li Daozong shouted: "Person Guard, follow me..."
The general looked at the Liangzhou people in the distance and said, "How can you fight? It's so messy, how can you fight? Is it worth fighting for these wastes?"
"If we don't fight hard, then we are also useless!" Li Daozong said: "Tang men, follow me..."
"Puff..."
A mixture of warm blood and brain drops sprayed Li Daozong's face. He watched as the Fuli Army in the Western Turks had already come to him under the attack of the Fuli Army. At this time, countless people in Liangzhou, carrying packages, actually fled as they were about to take advantage of the enemy's breaking the city.
