Chapter 60: The Great Broken Hacha (Part 3) (3)
Chapter 60: Big defeat (Part 2) (3)
The night is dark and the earth is quiet, only the night breeze is buzzing.
In a tent, Chen Zairong stared at the water tank on the ground with his eyes wide open, and asked in confusion: "Brother, what do you want me to see this? What's the good thing about this water tank?"
Chen Wanrong sat on the chair and crossed his legs, feeling very comfortable: "Are you impatient?"
Chen Zairong was confused: "Brother, if you want me to see, you have to explain it to me! Why is this? A good tank is filled with water, but you also dug a hole on the ground, buried so deeply, and it is all along. I thought you had nothing to do after eating, and it was tormenting people."
"Say less!" Chen Wanrong still refused and said, "Some things have to be thought about by yourself. Don't wait for me to tell you. I'll tell you that just this tank of water can annihilate the hundreds of thousands of troops of Hacha."
Chen Zairong didn't believe it at all, and chuckled and said, "Brother, you are really good at bragging. A tank of water cannot even drown an individual, and he will also annihilate hundreds of thousands of troops."
"So many people, even if we try every means to get it into the Yangtze River, we may not be able to drown." Chen Wanrong reminded: "My tank of water can determine when Hacha will only move and in which direction."
"I don't believe it!" Chen Zairong still shook his head, and suddenly his eyes widened: "There is movement, and there is a ripple. Brother, come and see."
Chen Wanrong stood up and came to the water tank to take a look. He saw some ripples in the water tank and nodded, "Hacha has only started to assemble the team, he is going to attack."
"How did you know?" Chen Zairong touched his forehead and couldn't figure it out.
Don’t say that Chen Zairong couldn’t figure it out, many people were confused. Chen Wanrong explained to him: “The reason is actually very simple. You say, if hundreds of thousands of people break through, can the movement be small? There are hundreds of thousands of people alone, and with war horses, although no one shouts the horse neighs, can the movement be small just for this gathering? The water tank is buried in the soil and then filled with water, and you can see it at a glance.”
Chen Zairong suddenly realized and had to exclaim: "Brother, you really have a way!"
"I copied this method. I was in my hometown in another time and space and I was more than ten miles away from the railway. Whenever a train passed by, ripples would appear in the water tank. Will the movement be smaller than that of a train? It will definitely surpass the train!" Chen Wanrong thought to himself and said, "Are you convinced now?"
Chen Zairong smiled very happily: "Brother, I'm convinced. Brother, you have to let me go when the fight is later!"
"You killed me." Chen Wanrong replied.
Chen Zairong slapped his forehead and said, "I understand why I wanted to put the water tank into the tent and lock the tent so hard, just because I was afraid that the wind would be misleading."
"I'm enlightened." Chen Wanrong nodded and praised, "It's just a little too hot."
Chen Wanrong's method was obtained based on his life experience in another time and space. He was not familiar with military history and did not know that a "earth listening" technique was prevalent during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The art of earth listening was not a matter of gods and ghosts, but based on science.
The technique of listening is mainly used in defending the city. In a direction that is prone to attack, dig some pits close to the city wall, bury the urn in the soil, and ask people to listen to it. If the enemy wants to attack this direction, there will be a sound in the urn, and you will understand it at first, and you will be accurate at once. However, with the development of military science, this method was used less, so it was useless at all.
Of course, in this situation, filling water is easier than listening with your ears.
After the ripples on the water continued for a while, it became more and more intense. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "We will be attacked in this direction. Send orders and prepare to set fire!"
Needless to explain, Chen Zairong also understood the truth: "Brother, this method is really useful. When we walk in our direction, there are more people, and when we move, the movement will be louder and the water will be turbulent."
"Prepare for the battle!" Chen Wanrong nodded and praised.
Chen Zairong responded, pulled out his horizontal knife and strode out. After a while, several people came in and reported to Chen Wanrong one after another, and similar discoveries were also found in both east and west directions.
"Hacha just wants to break through the three directions east and south, but the north must also be prepared and cannot be taken lightly. Once the breakthrough in these three directions fails, Hacha will only turn to the north." Chen Wanrong secretly reminded himself.
The water surface became more and more turbulent. Chen Wanrong knew that the Dashi army was approaching and fierce battle was about to break out. Chen Wanrong quickly stepped out of the house.
Let’s talk about Hacha, when the third update was about to order the army to assemble, and after preparation, the order was ordered to break through. As soon as the order was passed, the Dashi army was entrenched, and the people were silent, breaking through in three directions.
During the quiet night, the Tang army did not make any noise. This breakout should have been beyond the expectations of Tang army. Hacha couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As he walked, he felt an extremely unpleasant strange smell rushed into his nose. He smelled it again, and smelled it was the smell of oil, which made people sickening. Hacha was shocked and his heart was beating wildly: "Did he find it for Tang army?"
Thinking about it again, this possibility is not high. Even if it is discovered by Tang Jun, he will break through with all his strength. The Tang Jun cannot see clearly in the dark and cannot effectively mobilize the army. It is impossible to stop him. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but calm down.
After walking for a while, the ground was soft, as if it was muddy, and the oily smell was even stronger, which made my nose unable to stand it. Not only did he have this situation, but the soldiers of Dashi were all encountering this situation, but they were breaking through and could not speak out, otherwise the soldiers of Dashi would have asked questions long ago. This is because Hacha was too strict in military discipline.
Suddenly, Hacha only understood and knew that he had been fooled. The sweat on his forehead was leaking out. He quickly ordered: "Hurry up, go back!"
The soldier lowered his voice and conveyed the order and began to retreat into the camp. At this moment, a rocket appeared in the sky, falling down, and flames immediately vented from the ground. The flames rushed around like poisonous snakes. In just a moment, it was a sea of fire, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating like daytime.
With the fire, Hacha only saw clearly. He was so shocked that he was soaked on the ground that he was secretly glad that he was so lucky that he reacted quickly enough. If he walked forward, he would definitely burn to ashes.
That's it, his clothes were on fire, and Hacha ran back and slapped the flames on his body. His personal guards were loyal to him and helped him slap them regardless of his own flames. When they were put out, they would slap the flames on his body.
As soon as the fire on Hacha was extinguished, he looked around and saw that there were fires in the east and south directions, and it was on the way to break through.
These fierce tinder oils were stored in Samarkand by ancient Taibai. The Middle East is rich in oil. Although it has not been widely used, it is still produced in many places. Oil is used in wars, which is a very good weapon in itself. In addition, Dashi now has the formula of Greek fire, so the oil must be stored vigorously.
There are several warehouses of oil stored in Samarkand, and in order to block the Dashi army, they are all moved out.
Using oil to burn the Dashi army was a clever plan, and Hacha only secretly praised it. There was one thing he just couldn't understand why the Tang army could determine the time and direction of his breakthrough? It was obvious that this was the oil that the Tang army had judged before pouring, otherwise there wouldn't be only a fire in the direction of his breakthrough, and there would be no other direction.
Chen Wanrong's method is very simple, but he may not necessarily think about it. Although Hacha is only very smart, he will not think about it in this regard for a while. Of course, he will never doubt that there is something wrong with his army.
Hacha had only retreated quickly enough. The soldiers who retreated slightly slower ignited the fire. No matter how they jumped or messed up, they could not be extinguished, and they could only burn them to death.
This fire alone caused Hacha to suffer a lot of casualties. What's more serious is that this has a huge blow to morale.
Looking at the fire that stretches for miles and is dozens of feet wide, it is impossible for the Dashi army to break out according to the original plan.
Since it has been exposed, it is better to force the breakout. Hacha had only a certain idea and immediately ordered the Dashi army to break out from a place without fire. As soon as the order was passed, the Dashi army shouted "Allah" and began to break out.
However, they were greeted by artillery and overwhelming rain of arrows. The Tang army's arrows were much denser than usual, and the Dashi army fell in pieces. However, under the order of Hachazhi, they continued to go forward, and the one in front fell down, and the one behind stepped on their bodies to continue charging.
The arson area is so wide that the Dashi army cannot rush over, and only needs to send a small number of troops as a warning. Hacha did not siege Samarkand. He set up the barracks in the north of the city, which could not only effectively deter Samarkand, but also prevent Geshuhan from escaping. Of course, it was more convenient to intercept the Tang Dynasty reinforcements. This created conditions for the Tang army to counter-encircle him.
Even so, the Dashi Army camp was dozens of miles, and it was difficult to surround them with the existing forces of the Tang army. The fire was even more beneficial to the Tang army. At least half of the places were poured oil, so that the fire could control the Tang army, so that the Tang army could concentrate its forces in areas without flames.
In this way, the Tang army's arrows could not be dense.
Under the flames, the Dashi army fell down in pieces like straws that were pushed down by people. In just a short while, the corpses on the ground piled up into a hill. However, the Dashi army was still not afraid or retreating under the command of Hachazhi, and was still charging for fear of death.
It took the boss a while to make a few Dashi army rush out of the Tang army's artillery fire and arrow rain. However, the heavy swords greeted them, and all the swords flashed by, and they were all reimbursed.
While commanding the army to charge and observing the situation, Hacha only found that there was no movement in the north. However, he did not dare to rashly transfer the army to the north, which was something that could be imagined without any intelligence.
Hacha was about to send someone to investigate the movements in the north, Mohamed came and reported to him: "Sir, what should I do if the north has poured oil on the Tang people?"
"How big is it?" Hacha only asked.
Gu Taibai also came and gasped and said, "It's all over. Alas, I tried my best to collect it at the beginning, but now it's a bargain for them."
This problem is very serious, but Hacha showed joy on his face and smiled, "It's great! Send someone to light it up!"
"Light?" Gu Taibai and Muhammad hardly believed their ears.
Hacha nodded with certainty and said, "Go and light it right away."
As soon as the order was passed, the Dashi army was ordered to go. In just a moment, the north was engulfed by a raging fire, and the entire wilderness was illuminated and could be seen a hundred miles away.
Taking all this in his eyes, Tian Renwan said with some disdain: "What is he going to do in this Hacha? Isn't this seeking death?"
Geshuhan smiled and praised: "Hacha is only cunning enough, but he actually thought of this move."
Tian Renwan was a little confused and asked, "General Geshu, what do you mean? Hacha only ignited it, and he couldn't break out from the north."
"If you ignite, you cannot break through, but what after burning it? If you don't ignite it now and wait until he has no way out, it will be too late?" Geshuhan explained to him: "He is planning for the future and there is an additional breakthrough direction for him to choose from."
Tian Renwan understood and nodded: "Hacha is just a cunning enough, but he actually thought about it. Fox, cunning fox! General Geshu, what should we do?"
"Let him burn it!" Ge Shuhan didn't take it seriously: "When the burn is finished, you have to wait until it gets cold. Otherwise, it will be so hot that it will not be able to pass. After the burn is finished, it will be cold. It will be dawn, so it will be convenient for us to mobilize troops."
After dawn, with the telescope, you can clearly see every move in the Dashi military camp, and there is no problem in the pre-scheduling of troops.
Until now, Hacha had to believe that Tang Jun could predict his actions. He did not dare to break through during the day, but just wanted to break out before dawn and order the Dashi army to attack at all costs.
It has to be admitted that the Dashi army fought extremely bravely, and they charged forward without hesitation and rushed towards the Tang army. However, the Tang army was as strong as an iron barrel, and no matter what efforts they made, they were ineffective.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, the Dashi army did not break out by one by one, Hacha had to sigh that this was the most unsatisfactory battle he had in his life.
Through the morning light, Hacha looked around and saw mountains of corpses everywhere, and blood dyed the ground red. This was his carefully trained army. He followed him to fight south and north, and won countless battles, but died here. Hacha's tiger eyes shed tears unnaturally.
As soon as the sky was dawn, the Tang army began to turn into a counterattack.
The artillery was the leading guide, followed by the rain of arrows, and then there were teams of heavy infantry soldiers holding Modao. Their morale was like a rainbow, shouting loudly, "Long live the Tang Dynasty", and rushed over while stepping on the bodies of the big food soldiers.
Until now, the morale of the Dashi Army has dropped greatly, and the Tang army is very energetic because of the great victory in the evening. They are all energetic and rushed to fight, and are unstoppable. The Dashi Army cannot stop it at all.
Hacha only knew that he had two choices now, one was to resist the attack of the Tang army, and the other was to immediately disperse the breakthrough. It was unlikely to block the attack of the Tang army. After a night of dispersion, his army suffered heavy casualties and his morale had decreased, and it seemed that it was not as long as it was absolutely necessary.
Just when Hacha was hesitating and unable to decide, the Tang army rushed over from four directions, east, west, south, north, and north, and still led the artillery, and the arrows were shot and killed by the rain of arrows, and finally the heavy infantry with the Mo sword in hand. Behind them were light infantry who cooperated with them.
"The Tang army really knows how to seize the opportunity of the fighter. Once our offensive was frustrated, they immediately turned to counterattack without giving us any chance to breathe! No wonder the Tang army has used only a small number of troops to stop us from attacking eastward for so many years! I initially promised Gu Taibai and Muhammad that if they set foot on China's land first, they would be the governor of China, which was too arrogant!" Hacha just turned his mind, feeling regretful and a little bit self-blame. After all, he was a heroic person, and he had an unexpected idea: "In life, being able to fight with such an opponent on the battlefield is a blessing even if it fails! It is not in vain for this life!"
His thoughts were turning rapidly, and his orders were issued quickly, asking the Dashi army to fight to the death.
It is impossible to say that although the morale of the Dashi Army was not as good as last night, they still fought bravely and tenaciously, and no one retreated. Only by killing them all can the Tang army advance forward.
Even so, the Dashi army could not stop the Tang army's offensive. The reason is very simple. The artillery is the leading guide and is specifically bombing in places with a large number of people. After bombing the artillery, their formation will inevitably be chaotic. Then, the Tang army's crossbow arrows arrived, without giving them any chance to reorganize their formation.
In order to give Hacha a last blow, Geshuhan has adjusted his deployment. It is not convenient for cavalry to rush into the barracks. Geshuhan ordered the cavalry to be divided into many squads, scattered around the camp to specifically intercept the fleeing Dashi army. Any escaped Dashi army, as long as they appear, they will inevitably be attacked by the whirlwind of the Tang Dynasty cavalry, and not many can escape.
As for crossbowmen and archers, they were naturally concentrated and used to ask them to walk in front of the artillery. When the artillery attacked, the artillery fire would go wherever there were many people and wherever the battle was fierce. With the attack of the artillery, the Dashi army suffered a lot of casualties. If the dense rain of arrows was hit, it was already severely damaged.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Dao hand appeared. They rushed in in a neat formation with Mo Dao hand. There could not be a long line in the military camp, but it doesn't matter, a team of dozens of people can still be guaranteed.
Hacha thought of a magic trick to deal with Mo Daozhe yesterday. However, after the bombing of artillery, the barracks were in scattered and some earthen walls had collapsed. Not to mention, Geshuhan ordered the light infantry to protect Mo Daozhe specifically and not to be afraid of the counterattack of the Daozhe army.
The soil in the military camp was taken from the military camp, and many trenches were dug on the ground. If he attacked rashly yesterday, it would definitely cause Mo Daozhe to be severely damaged. There is no need to worry about the attack today.
Because the trench is a corpse and the broken limbs are filled with broken arms, Mo Dao Hand can show off his skills.
Under the third attack of the Tang army, although the Dashi army made its best efforts, it was still useless. The Tang army continued to advance into their barracks. At first, it occupied the edge, but later it occupied more and more, advancing towards the depths of the barracks little by little.
When the sun rose, I saw that the Dashi military camp was not good, with troops fighting on both sides everywhere, broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and corpses everywhere.
