Chapter one hundred and sixty first war
When Kusunadin and Satuk began to implement the plan to lure and ambush the monks of the Tang Dynasty, Chu Zheng, the vanguard of the Wolf Tooth Army, had already led his army to cross Bodaling.
Bodaling is the western border of Anxi Protectorate and is also the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Black Khanate today. It is more than a hundred miles away from Dashi City to here.
In order to protect this important border, the Black Khanate had tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Dundo City on the bank of Bodaling. In terms of the status of Dundo City, it is roughly equivalent to the guarding city in the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty.
The guards and capture cities are not large, and the troops are not large, but their status is quite important. Once the enemy enters the country, several guards and capture cities support each other, which is the first line of defense.
If they are facing a large army invasion, their role will be more like a cordon, because to truly deal with large-scale enemy troops, they will have to support the big city stationed in the rear.
This is an early morning, a quiet and clear morning when autumn is approaching. When the sky is slightly awake, the gentle breeze brings a quiet fragrance of grass and trees. Before the sun has emerged, the red light is already bright on the mountains to the east.
The soldiers of Dundo City, wearing armor and holding sharp edges, cheered up their spirits on the rammed earth walls that were illuminated by the golden rammed earth. The smoke from behind them was curling, and the fragrance of cakes spread out. This was the most attractive smell for the soldiers on duty in the middle of the night.
They chatted and laughed at each other in the city to distract themselves a little, but in fact they still couldn't stop swallowing. From time to time, people turned back to the city and looked at the companions who were thinking of changing their duties to come over earlier so that they could go to breakfast soon.
For these Black Khanate soldiers, although Dundo City is a border area, it has nothing to do with bitter cold.
This is the foothills of the western part of the Tianshan Mountains, with green mountains, green waters, birds and flowers. If the guards are interested, they can occasionally take them to the mountains to hunt some wild game. Such an environment is much better than many places with endless yellow sand in the country.
The war has not happened for too long, and the soldiers guarding the city are ordinary people. In the quiet and monotonous days, they look forward to ending the border guard mission and returning to their hometown to reunite with their relatives and friends. There may be a pasture with cattle and sheep everywhere, or a city full of luxury.
Some soldiers who exchanged the price came to the city, holding cakes in their hands, stuffing them into their mouths while walking. The city walls were immediately filled with joy, and some people greeted each other and said a few words to each other.
But the war has come unexpectedly.
"What is that?" Suddenly, a man holding a pancake in his mouth pointed to the mountains in the east and exclaimed.
"Look at me!" more people shouted.
The soldiers looked back and were all stunned.
In the mountains, there are large areas of birds and beasts carrying the rising sun, whistling towards the city like black clouds.
No, that is not a bird or a beast. There are never such a big bird or a beast in this world.
But if it weren't for birds and beasts, how could they run out of the mountains in a flying manner?
The soldiers of Dundo City soon saw clearly what the sudden arrival was.
The other side is an army and a soldier. However, they are all cavalry. The only difference is that their war horses can fly. Although they cannot continue to fly like birds, one step is more than ten feet away.
"What is this?!"
"Is it a demon?"
"Is it our army?"
"No, they are wearing Tang army armor and battle robe!"
The city wall suddenly fell into chaos. The soldiers threw away the cakes in their hands and forgot to go for breakfast. They saw more and more demons appearing, unable to see the boundaries or the end at first sight.
The opponent's war horse was as strong as a cow, but it was like a goshawk that could fly or pounce. The opponent's soldiers were covered with armor, without an inch without protection, and even their faces were hidden behind the armor, revealing only a pair of deep and terrifying eyes.
That's at least more than 10,000 people!
More than 10,000 powerful Tang army!
The guards of Dunduo City rushed to the top of the city and stretched their necks to look out. Before they could be astonished, Chu Zheng had already taken the lead in jumping up to the city. When the horse's hooves passed by the guards like lightning, a long spear stabbed him in the chest!
As the war horse landed on the top of the city, his eyes widened and his terrified face were stared to death on the ground.
Countless Tang troops rushed to the city like a tide.
No, their current appearance can no longer be described as a tide, because their war horses all jumped from the front of the city, crossed the female wall in one step, and descended to the top of the city like a rabbit rising and falling.
As they arrived, bloody storms suddenly arose on the top of the city. The soldiers of Dunduo City screamed and ran, but how could they be faster than the strength of Qi training cultivators, and most of them were ferocious beasts and war horses with the strength of Qi training above the third level?
They were caught up, stabbed by the Wolf Tooth Army's standard magic weapon, horse spear, and died on the spot.
Like a hurricane or a dark cloud, the wolf-fang army rushed into the city from the top of the city, and then rushed from the city to the top of the city, crushing it like a torrent, killing through the entire city.
They did not stop at all, did not delay at all, and did not even slow down their speed in, so they drove away and rushed towards the hinterland of the Black Khanate.
They came and went quickly, and the entire battle process only took one stick of incense.
So this is not a battle, this is just a marching.
As for the weeds trampled during the march and the ants crushed to death, how could the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army care?
After they left in the rolling smoke and dust, Dunduo City was already a bloody hell. The city heads, streets, courtyard walls and roofs were covered with broken limbs and wrecks, weapons and corpses. The cakes scattered on the ground were still emitting white heat, but were stained with blood and could no longer be eaten.
No one eats them anymore.
After a storm, there were only sporadic screams and despairing wails in the city except for the dead. The few warriors who were lucky enough to die were even worse than those who died in battle. The scene they faced was too bloody and cruel and incredible, and many people went crazy on the spot.
The battlefield does not belong to them, and the war no longer belongs to them. In front of the Wolf Tooth Army, they are no longer soldiers.
This world does not require soldiers who cannot fight against the enemy.
They were too weak, so what they were facing just a military disaster.
......
It is about two hundred miles away from Bodaling to Baerthhan City.
For ordinary troops, this is a four or five-day march. But for the Wolf Fang Army, two hundred miles is just a surprise attack. So when the Wolf Fang Army reached outside Baersikhan City, the other party had not received any news that the attack was lost in the city of Dunduo.
However, Baersikhan City is Baersikhan City after all, it is an important city in the eastern part of the Black Khanate, and a key frontier for preventing the Tang Dynasty. Under the current situation, they have long received the order from Satuk and entered a state of preparation for war.
During these days, the time it took for Baersikhan City to open the city gate was very short, only three hours around noon, and the rest of the time were closed.
At the same time, the monks and scouts in the city were also constantly circulating outside the city. While constantly communicating with other cities, they ensured that Baersikhan City would not be attacked.
Because of this, although Baersikhan City did not receive news of the fall of Dunduo City, the city gate had already been closed urgently when the Wolf Tooth Army arrived in front of the city, and the defenders at the top of the city were ready. The monks who came out of the city gathered near the city tower.
All kinds of city-guarding equipment were in a state of combat. The wolf teeth were raised high, the bed crossbows and crossbows were raised, the forks were lined up, the stones were rolled high, and the wood was piled higher than the female wall. The pungent smell of iron and water was spread far and wide.
Great momentum.
Looking at the arrogant expressions of the guards and the monks at the top of the city, you know that they think their city can only be described as solid. And they absolutely do not think that a mere 30,000 wolf-fang army has the ability to capture the city.
"Whatever you say is to capture the city, they don't even have the qualifications to attack the city!" said Lu Jins, the guard general. He is Satuk's uncle and the younger brother of the Khan of the Black Khanate. He has extremely rich experience on the battlefield.
"The Tang Dynasty attacked us, but only used such a few people. Are they here to make jokes?"
"I really don't know how Dunduo City is now. I've actually let these Tang troops come over."
"Don't be careless, this should be just the vanguard of the Tang army. But since it is a vanguard, it is a way to explore the way and will not kill the city. The main force of the Tang army should be right behind."
"Get out and teach these Tang soldiers a lesson!"
"Yes! Do you have to watch the mere 30,000 people showing off their power in front of us? Kill them all and let them know how powerful the Karakhan soldiers are!"
Chu Zheng heard the conversation at the top of the city wall. It was not that he used the power of cultivation, but that the other party was speaking, which was indeed very loud, as if he was afraid that he would not hear it.
Chu Zheng had no expression on his face.
He is actually not a person with rich expressions and likes to talk too much. When he was in Jincheng County, he often stood behind the steamed water vapor in the soup cake stall and stared blankly. Only in front of people who were very close can he nag like a woman. This is probably a common problem for people like him.
Now, there is only one city in front of him that needs to be conquered and a group of enemies that need to be defeated. So he did not show any emotion or arouse the interest in talking to the other party.
As a general in charge, what he has to do is simple.
Just fighting.
"Tornado Crossbow, prepare!" Chu Zheng raised his arm in front of the battle formation.
He is also a military general, and he is already at the level of a general, not too far from the level of a general.
Thirty thousand Wolf Tooth soldiers took out the whirlwind crossbow from the storage bag, and raised the crossbow arrows together, aimed at the head of the city.
The whirlwind crossbow was developed by the craftsman and was specially used by Qi training monks. It has been equipped in the army for three years, and the soldiers have long used it very skillfully, such as arm instructions.
Thirty thousand whirlwind crossbows shone coldly in the sun.
"The Tang army really wants to start a war with us at this point?" Lu Jins was stunned when he saw the wolf teeth army's actions.
"This is a provocation!"
"This is seeking death!"
"What do they want to do? Shoot us with crossbow arrows? Haha, this is so funny..."
The person who said this soon couldn't laugh.
A very heavy buzzing sound suddenly broke out outside the city, and the sound was so loud that it seemed like snow-capped mountains collapsed and the earth was churning. Immediately, 30,000 soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army were hidden behind the sea-like spiritual light. Before Lu Jinsi and others could see a Mingtang, dense meteor showers suddenly fell from the sky and fell to the top of the city in an instant!
The sound of the qi explosion is like a tsunami, like thunder.
A wave of spiritual energy exploded.
