Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

The army under Liang Luoren's command was not only poorly equipped, but also seriously lacked winter clothes to keep out the cold.It is good to march on the road, but dozens or hundreds of people will freeze to death every time they camp.

Before the shadow of guarding the Tang army, Liang Luoren's staff was reduced by 600 people, and the morale at this time can be imagined.

Looking at the melodies that looked like walking corpses, Liang Luoren shouted: "Brothers, work harder, break through Lingzhou without sealing your sword for three days!"

Not sealing the knife means that you can do whatever you want in the city.You can kill, you can rob, and you can get the money, women, food, and supplies they want.

The army, which had almost no morale at all, immediately regained some morale after hearing Liang Luoren's order, and the eyes of these numb soldiers showed a green light like a wolf.

……

The night was dark and visibility was extremely low under the snowstorm.Song Wusao, the general of Lingwu Eighteenth Town Fort, felt her eyelids twitching, and she could no longer sleep peacefully.So he put on his leather armor, took a harpoon, and walked to the town castle to inspect.

Originally a little bit tired, but was blown by the cold wind on the castle wall, and there was no trace of it.Looking at the self-reinforcing warriors who were shivering while roasting in the enemy building, Mrs. Song felt a very absurd feeling in her heart.

In this weather, how could it be possible to send troops?I must be under too much pressure and a little paranoid.

She was about to go back to the enemy building to sleep when suddenly a dull voice sounded.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a strange sound coming from the top of the north wall of Zhenbao. Fifth Aunt Song looked back, but in the dark night sky, she couldn't see anything.However, at this moment, Mrs. Song saw the snow on the notch of the female wall, and the snow particles danced slightly.

Although Song Wusao is a Han Chinese, she has been in Turkic for more than ten years, and she already has a set of methods for judging the approach of cavalry.For a shock of this magnitude, at least a thousand cavalry were slowly approaching.

Song Wusao knew that there were not many mules in Lingzhou, not to mention the cavalry of the establishment, and they were all recruited by Li Daozong.The cavalry now appearing in Lingzhou must be enemies rather than friends.

Song Zisao shouted in a low voice: "Liang Zi, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zi, go back and inform the commanders of the castles that the enemy is coming!"

Chapter 54 The real test

Chapter 54 The real test

The newly built Lingwu Bashi Town in Lingzhou, although it is called Zhenbao, is actually not a traditional Wubao, because the cost of building Wubao is too high, even with free labor and building materials, it is necessary to build a real Wubao. Wubao is not an easy task.At the beginning, Chen Ying did not think so much when he was stationed in Lingzhou.

Under Chen Ying's command, there are six Zhechong mansions of the Dingyuan Army and six cavalrymen of the Lingwu Army's Zhechong Mansions. Even if the Turks attack Lingzhou, they have to weigh the strength of these troops, let alone Liang Shidu.Passive defense has never been Chen Ying's habit. Chen Ying's habit is to replace defense with offense. Therefore, the defensive power of Lingwu Eighteen Towns is actually very poor.

There is a blue brick city wall on the outside and a blue brick wall on the inner layer. The width in the middle is no more than six feet, and the earth is filled and rammed to form the city wall of the town castle. .But preventing attacks is actually very difficult.Not to mention cloud ladders, even if you take a human ladder, you can easily climb in.

In the face of an army armed to the teeth, the defense that the town fort can play is actually limited.The reason why Chen should have built this fort at the beginning was to guard against Turkic rangers or small groups of troops. You must know that without this city wall, a ranger of only a hundred people could wipe out a town fort.

The only advantage is that this town has built a watchtower at the four corners.The enemy building, which is about three feet high, can provide a place for dozens of soldiers to rest at ordinary times.Also stored a lot of materials for defending the city.Of course, every town castle has a beacon tower, which can light a beacon or a bonfire when it is under attack, and pass between castles and call for support from Lingzhou City.

In the snowy night, when the No.17 town fort loomed, Liang Luoren's disgruntled Xin Liao'er said, "This village is not small, so I leave it to you. If you take down this village, all the food and women in it will belong to you!"

Xin Liaoer was originally from the Qiang people. In the last years of Daye, he took refuge in Liang Shidu, and was named Zhonglang General by Liang Shidu.The officials under Liang Shidu's command are actually rotten streets. In the Tang Dynasty, the Zhonglang general was a military officer of the fourth rank, and he was the commander of the sixteen guards.It is a high-ranking military position, but the Zhonglang General under Liang Shidu's command is just an official position between the General Pi and the school lieutenant. Although he commands a thousand people, he is only equivalent to a regiment-level officer in later generations.

Xin Liao'er's face, which was originally lifeless, immediately showed a green light when he heard this.

"really?"

"What are you doing to lie to you!"

Xin Liaoer said, "I hope to get some food."

Liang Luoren said: "That can't be done, the brothers have no food, and the food in the village must be distributed to me, but don't worry, your trilogy will be the first one, and when you are full, you will share it with others." .”

Xin Liaoer looked at the town castle flickering with candlelight, but did not speak.Obviously he was dissatisfied with Liang Luoren's distribution plan.

Liang Luoren waved his hands impatiently and said: "Forget it, take down the village, I will give you half of the food, and all the women and money will be yours!"

Only then did Xin Liaoer ecstatically run to the back to convey the order and prepare to attack.

Li Zhengbao looked at the back of Xin Liaoer going away, spat hard at Xin Liaoer's back, and said angrily: "It's cheap for this Qiang slave!"

"Cheap? Hmph!" Liang Luoren said coldly, "I'm afraid it's really hard to take advantage of this bargain!"

"Is this the broken village?" Li Zhengbao said disapprovingly, "I'll take it down to the general at most for a meal!"

"It's not a good habit to underestimate the enemy!" Liang Luoren pointed to the flickering candlelight in the enemy tower and said, "Our seven thousand and eight horses made such a big commotion, how can the village still not respond?"

Li Zhengbao was stunned.

Liang Luoren said with a smile: "Unless the village is full of dead people, this hard walnut can really break two teeth of this Qiang slave!"

Song Wusao watched a group of people rushing slowly under the city wall, and suddenly felt inexplicable. These enemies had no ladders, no shields, and even saved the movement of shooting arrows to suppress the city wall for cover.

"What are they doing?"

"It seems that they want to climb the wall!" Mu Xiuling said excitedly instead of being nervous.

"Our city wall is only one foot or two feet. Although it is short, do they really think we are dead?" Song Wusao looked at the Xiangyong hiding under the female wall, her face was full of excitement.

These men and women who have endured inhuman torture for several years or more than ten years in the hands of the Turkic people have long ceased to regard themselves as human beings. They feel that they are earning money if they can live for a day. Now they are finally living a good life, and they have some hope , Who wants to let them fight back to the past, unless stepping on their corpses.

The Qiang Tribe under Xin Liaoer's command began to run faster. Originally, he was also prepared to withstand three or four waves of arrow rain on the city wall, but unexpectedly, the city wall was still lonely, and no one could be seen .

"Perhaps, everyone in the village has run away, or they are fast asleep!" Xin Liaoer comforted himself.

However, when Xin Liaoer formed a group of ten people, kneeling on two sides and standing on two sides, forming a simple human ladder, with less than three feet left, they could jump up the city wall with one leap.

Just when No. 1 Qiang soldier touched the crenel of the city wall, the whole city wall suddenly came alive.Hundreds of men and women carrying wooden basins, barrels or iron pots stood up neatly and poured the pots in their hands not along the city wall on Xin Liaoer's body.

In the current weather, the breath is almost frozen, and the water poured on Xin Liaoer's body, which is climbing with ants, will not be sour.

It had turned into hot water that was slowly cooling down. At this time, thin-skinned jelly had begun to appear on the surface of the water, and the enemy soldiers who had just landed on the city wall began to freeze into ice immediately.

Although it was not as heart-wrenching as golden juice, it was not pleasant either.The soldiers, who were so cold and dazed, were splashed with cold water, and Xin Liao'er's trilogy of offensives collapsed before firing an arrow.

The two to three hundred people who were splashed by the water immediately lost their combat effectiveness. In such a cold weather, their whole bodies were soaked, and their vitality quickly disappeared along with their body temperature.

"Cold, cold, so fucking cold!" Xin Liao'er's hand was frozen unconscious in an instant, and the mace in his hand survived to be thrown in time, but even so, he still tore off a piece of flesh from the palm of his hand.

The formation in front was chaotic, and the soldiers screamed wildly. At this time, the defenders who were still laying down the wooden basins and barrels picked up hunting bows and shot the enemies below the city like hunting.Unlike usual hunting, this time their eyes were not animals, but living people.

Dozens of soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and others retreated without hesitation.However, the 300 people who served as human ladders under the city wall could not withdraw at all, they were frozen together with the city wall.

Those Xin Liaoer trilogy who were frozen under the city wall struggled desperately, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break free from the freezing force.

Mu Xiuling picked up a wooden arrow and shot it at the mourning soldiers under the city wall.Just when the arrow in her hand was about to be released, Mrs. Song stopped her: "Don't waste the arrow!"

Xin Liaoer was so angry that he lost two or three hundred people face to face.

But Liang Luoren and Li Zhengbao who were watching from behind looked at each other and smiled.Li Zhengbao was in front of Xin Liaoer, looking at Xin Liaoer contemptuously and said, "You wait and fight, yeah, I'll tell you how to fight!"

Hearing this, Xin Liaoer became even more furious.

He ran to the front of his trilogy and roared loudly. These Qiang soldiers took knives and slashed their faces with blood. These people formed another charge formation, but they were not completely helpless for Xin Liaoer's sake. He ordered the archers under his command to pour rain of arrows on the city wall.
