Chapter 428 Attack on Tongguan
After leading the battle of Luoyang City, which even his subordinates did not let go, Xiao Ran became notorious. I heard that Xiao Ran attacked Tongguan this time. Most of the "heavenly punishment" army is also concentrated here. How many people want to smash him to pieces and kill him?
Chang'an has always been the capital. The spiritual symbol of Daxia. If Tongguan loses Chang'an, it will be in danger. Basically, it means that the Turks defeated Daxia. Only when the most tenacious strength submits will the strength of the remaining vassal kings collapse. On the contrary, if you see a glimmer of dawn, you may send troops to help and continue to fall into a stalemate. For the general trend of the world, Tongguan is of great significance, and it is no longer just a city.
After the loss of other cities, Daxia completely fell into a disadvantage, but under the tenacious guard of the Xia family, it was still forged an indestructible fortifications. Because Xia Shuangtian, the "God of War" they believe in, is still there. "Female Zhuge" Xia Ruoyan came back again. As spiritual leaders, they support every warrior and let them realize their potential beyond the limits.
The morning light shrouded the mountains, and the roaring pace heralded the beginning of the Turkic army's siege.
"Princess, the Turks are ready to attack the city." In the house, Xia Ruoyan stood up from the topographic map with red eyes. The lampstand is still on and has burned to the bottom. She has been studying all night. Even this guard was a little unbearable. If Xia Ruoyan hadn't been responsible for directing the whole battle, she would never have disturbed her.
I never thought there would be such a day against Xiao Ran. She knows Xiao Ran's intelligence best. She hasn't figured out how he will break the barrier all night. Now when I wake up, I still have to fight against each other. Both sides are doomed to failure. I have said again and again not to separate, and I have been teased by fate again and again. Once again, it was made up. She didn't know what the result was this time and didn't dare to think about it. After several months, meeting again may be the most familiar stranger!
Above the city, a catapult is ready to go. Thousands of "shock thunder" made by the craftsman were put aside. The enemy is a hundred feet away. Xia Ruoyan stood on the tower in armor, valiantly. She calmly handed the first arrow to Ren Xiaoyao: "Shen Shaoze, you lead 500 elite soldiers, aim at the sky with giant crossbow arrows, and wait until Xiao Ran leads the golden eagle army to shoot them down. Even if it doesn't work, let them choose some to lose their accuracy from the ground and never let them be safe. This first break attack is crucial, remember it clearly!"
"I got the order!" Sun arrow shooting," Shen Shaoze said in a loud voice.
Xia Ruoyan picked up two more arrows: "Mobei Shuangxie, you two lead 10,000 infantry to guard around the city. If the gate is not protected, quickly fill it up and strictly prevent the Turkic cavalry from risking their lives to rush into the city."
"Order!" The two evil spirits in Mobei said in unison.
Xia Ruoyan said again: "Today, the other side mainly attacks Dongmen City to prevent the other party from detouring from the mountain road. Yu Wenmu and Miaoyin Fairy, you two lead 2,000 "heavenly punishment" masters to occupy the highlands on both sides to prevent sneak attacks, and immediately return any abnormality.
The two suddenly nod their heads and also said, "Get the order."
"Ximen Yu, you lead people to evacuate the people in the city. Evacuate in the direction of Chang'an. Gu Fang, do your best to cure the poison, once you fail. Don't leave any chickens and dogs!"
Xia Ruoyan took out another arrow and said, "Where is Ren Xiaoyao and an anangry Taoist priest?"
Ren Xiaoyao and an anangish Taoist priest came out at the same time and said, "The last will be."
"You two lead 10,000 elites of the Black Armor Army to guard the front door and give the Turks no chance."
"Order!" The two shouted. Everyone was infected by this atmosphere. At this moment, Xia Ruoyan did not have a delicate image. Who said that women were not as good as men. Military orders have been issued and implemented in an orderly manner, giving full play to the strengths of each general. It has the demeanor of "God of War" Xia Shuangtian.
"......the rest of the people will be dispatched at any time."
Everyone is nervous and excited. Xia Ruoyan frowned slightly. Most of these officers and soldiers guarding the city were new soldiers who had not fought a battle and had no experience in fighting a big battle. Nowadays, with 40,000 troops defending the city, if it hadn't been for the reputation of many martial arts masters, morale would have been low. These new soldiers were baptized by a bloody battle, plus the fierce name of the Turkic army. Even if the first few waves can be kept, the price will be extremely heavy.
Xia Ruoyan has always been very smart, and Xiao Ran knows his name for this. It's just that she didn't show it easily and gave up all the limelight to herself. But now, everything is unreserved, just to protect Daxia. Looking at Xia Ruoyan, who was in the position of the coach on the tower, Xiao Ran didn't know what to say for a moment: "yaner, if you want to hate me!"
The wail of the horn echoed one after another in the valley, and hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops were like waves, and the surging tide rushed out. The sharp roar of the number of catapults when the wooden wheels roll. Dozens of huge and strange-style catapults were pushed under the main door by the strong Turks, and the huge iron plate was full of thunder. After the stone-throwing car, it is a siege vehicle equipped with wooden wheels that can quickly advance. The wooden wedges several feet high are raised like rhinoceros horns, and several rows of bamboo ladders are like mane rising behind the giant lion's head, hanging obliquely behind the siege vehicle. The neat military appearance and the full momentum make people feel that Tongguan is like an inconspicuous village under the heinous flood. It only needs a wave to completely submerge it.
Countless Turkic soldiers poured out of the narrow valley. There are scattered troops lined up all over the mountain under Tongguan City. In front of the battle, 2,500 cavalry looked at the left and right wings. 2,500 strong men raised a sheep felt shield to protect their heads, and 1,500 soldiers carried the ladder. After the ladder array, 10,000 fierce warriors with half leather armor, long knives, dazzling light. Waving the blade in his hand made a earth-shaking and earth-shaking cry, and rows of sound waves hit the wall, as if they could shake the low city head in this way.
Tongguan was silent at the head of the city. Xia Ruoyan stood firmly on the north city and silently looked at the army under the city. Beside him, there are many Daxia defenders, and their hands holding bows and arrows tremble with naked eyes. There was a burst of relief in her heart: in the face of the heavy pressure that even she felt unresolved by the foreign coalition forces, how great the pressure on these soldiers who were on the first battle.
We can't let this situation continue. It will be too late when they finish gathering the army. I'm afraid they never dreamed of a "shocking thunder" on their side. Xia Ruoyan ordered, "Prepare the stone truck, a hundred-foot barracks outside the city, set it on fire, release it!"
is just passing through the canyon by the leading troops. The sound of collapse sounded on all sides, and dozens of catapults threw "earthquake thunder" at the dense Turkic army. He rushed through the open space far away and fell into the Turkic army. Under this first splash, the roar was endless, and the earth began to tremble violently. On the day of the bombard, flesh and blood flew, the soil splashed everywhere, and several soldiers were hit by random stones and fell to the ground.
