Chapter 152 Shangguan Qingcheng and the Wolf Fang Army(1/2)

One or two hundred miles away was not enough for the Wolf-Tooth Army elite cavalry. They set off from Julan City in the morning and arrived outside Talas City in the afternoon.

The Grand Emil Shiluchi, who was stationed in Talas City, has been paying attention to the war in Hulun City. The two armies have been fighting there for more than 20 days. According to Mullen, it is now the critical time to decide the outcome.

In Xi Luchi's view, the Battle of Hu Luncheng has undoubtedly become the decisive point of this war. The city of Talas he was defending may not have a large-scale battle between two armies, which made him secretly regret it for a long time.

He did not expect that the Wolf Tooth Army would suddenly appear outside the city of Talas, which surprised him very much. As soon as he heard the news, he flew into the air and looked at the situation of the Wolf Tooth Army marching from afar.

There is a small river not far outside Talas City, which can't flood people's heads at the deepest point, and the shallows are everywhere. Now, the elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army is rushing from the east and adjusting the formation at the other end of the river.

The tail is still in the dusty wasteland, and the front end is already on the bank of the river with weeds, but because of the timely discovery, it will take some time for the Wolf Tooth Army to completely adjust its formation, and Talas City has plenty of time to deal with it.

"The Tang army came from afar, and we happened to go out of the city to block the attack. Although the river outside the city is not wide, it is still a favorable terrain. The river beach will always delay the opponent's war. We can make the Tang army suffer a lot!"

The deputy shouted at Xu Xun and heard the advice of Xiang Xi Luchi. He looked quite high and wanted to fight.

The Guards were progressing smoothly in Hulun City, and victory was at their fingertips - at least that's what Mallen said. They were the vanguards of the army. They came to the Black Khanate early to enter Talas, but they never fought with the Tang army. Seeing that friendly troops were about to make great contributions and had no chance to achieve results, Hu Xu Wen was quite anxious.

Now that the Wolf Tooth Army is here, it is their opportunity to show their skills.

Hurwen's suggestion was unanimously agreed by Satuk, Kusunadin and others.

Satuk said passionately: "The Holy Army fought in the south so that the Tang army could not retreat in Hulun City. The Caliph said that the army was about to completely defeat the Tiger Guards. This shows that the Tang army is not an enemy of the Holy Army! As long as Lord Emil fights, the Tang army will be defeated!"

Now that most of the Black Khanate has fallen, he, the heroic prince who was once famous throughout the country, is now despised by people. He has to face the troops, officials, and his suspicious and resentful eyes every day, which has already tortured him very much.

Now that he has the opportunity to see the Tang army be defeated and relieve his hatred, he certainly does not want to miss it. If he can defeat the Tang army as soon as possible and recover the lost territory, his reputation will be re-established earlier.

Seeing that the generals thought that the army was sure to win and wanted to fight one after another, Xi Luchi was still very happy, after all, the morale of the army was available.

But he had no idea of ​​leaving the city to fight against the Wolf Fang Army.

Xi Luchi's voice was calm: "The Wolf-fang Army is all elite cavalry, good at breaking formations and short of siege, so we don't need to face the rush with them head-on.

"If we go out of the city to fight with the formation, although there is a good location, the river is too small and it is okay to hinder ordinary soldiers. If we want to hinder the army of monks, it is impossible. Besides, the war horses of the Wolf Tooth Army are not ordinary war horses, and it is easy to break into our formation."

After he said this, many people disagreed with it. They said that the Tang army could defeat the Karakhan army just because they looked powerful. They were incomparable to the Holy Army, otherwise they would not be unable to defend Hulun City.

However, Xi Luchi was determined and was not moved by the words of everyone asking for battle. He issued a stern order to stay in the city and guard it.

When the military order was issued, everyone could no longer say anything, so they could only bow to accept the order.

But from their eyes, they were quite dissatisfied with this military order, believing that Xi Luchi, who had always been wise, made a fool of himself and missed the opportunity to fight.

Xi Luchi looked at the Wolf Tooth Army outside the city and thought it very clearly. Malen was about to win in Hulun City. He just needed to defend Talas here and not let the Wolf Tooth Army take advantage of the opportunity.

As long as his troops are not defeated by the Wolf Tooth Army, they will cause trouble for Malen and hinder the entire battle situation. When the Tiger Guards are defeated by Malen, the Wolf Tooth Army will do whatever they want to deal with?

Shangguan Qingcheng immediately rode his horse in front of the army, looking at Talas City through the river, and waited for a long time, but there was no sign of opening the door to fight, so he felt a little disappointed.

"Siege the city!" Shangguan Qingcheng raised his hand and issued an order to cross the river and siege the city.

Although the Dashi army did not fight and the Langya Army could not fully exert its ability to rush into the battlefield, this was also expected. On the same day, the army of the Hei Khanate also occupied the city and defended it, but what was the result?

Today, the army rushed for a long time, but a distance of one or two hundred miles was far from being a group of Qi-training monks who had been recuperating in Julan City for almost a month. The 100,000 soldiers are now very energetic.

When the army was crossing the river in an open manner and siege the city, Xi Luchi did not send troops to block the attack, which made Shangguan Qingcheng realize that the other party had made up his mind to be a turtle and would never reveal any flaws or make any mistakes.

Since the other party doesn't come out now, in Shangguan Qingcheng's opinion, there is no need to leave the city.

This time the Wolf Tooth Army is besieging the city from all sides.

There is no conventional tactic of surrounding three, one.

Because Shangguan Qingcheng had no plans, he let Tala

The 200,000 troops in Sicheng still have the opportunity to continue to fight against the Tang army.

"General, according to the investigation by the Western Regions Commercial Bank, the Dashi army in Talas City was mainly Xi Luchi's personal army, with more than 100,000 people, all of whom were Qi training monks. In addition, there were also elite troops in the Dashi regular army."

Chu Zheng said back at Shangguan Qingcheng, "Talas is a strong city, and the city is not particularly large. It is much worse than the Thunder Ye City. There are only a limited number of troops that can be stationed in the city.

"But Talas is also a great gastronomy army. There are many troops stationed around the middle node area of ​​the northern front of the Black Khanate. These troops can come to support within two days, and those in the distance can arrive within half a month."

Talas has stationed 200,000 troops, as well as Xi Luchi's personal army of monks. Within dozens of miles nearby, of course, there will be no more large number of troops huddled together. And the reinforcements that can arrive within two days are enough to deal with all emergency and unexpected situations.

In any case, Talas had no problem with holding for two days - at least in Xi Luchi and Mullen's opinion.

Chu Zheng's words were very clear. If the Wolf Fang Army attacked Talas City for more than two days, the Dashi Army would come to help.

Even for the monk army, ordinary troops are almost ineligible to fight against it, the proportion of monks among the Dashi regular army should not be underestimated. Once they cooperate with Talas City, they will undoubtedly create a mud for the Wolf Tooth Army, and the Wolf Tooth Army will be in danger at that time.

Shangguan Qingcheng didn't say much, and there was no sign of emotion on his fair face as white as snow.

She looked at Talas City and asked Chu Zheng only one question, and also asked all the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, "Are you afraid?"

This sentence was like pouring a large pot of oil on the fire. All the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, including Chu Zheng, shouted in unison: "Wolf Tooth Army, mighty!"

"Wolf Tooth Army, mighty!"

For a moment, the roar was like a storm of the shore, and the air rushed to the bullfighting.

Seeing the Wolf-Tooth Army besieged the city, Xi Luchi was puzzled and finally felt angry in his eyes, "I ordered the city to be guarded, but I just stood on the overall situation of the war and did not want to add any trouble to this war that we are determined to win. But what does the Wolf-Tooth Army mean?

"A group of cavalry, pure cavalry, actually surrounded my city?! What do they want to do?! If there are no guards here, they can do whatever they want and recreate the old story of capturing Baersikhan's city?! My personal army is all Qi training monks. Although the number is only over 100,000, in terms of combat power, it is definitely not inferior to the Caliph's guards!"

Xi Luchi felt that he was humiliated.

"Mr. Emil, let's go to war! The Wolf-fang army is so insulting. They only have 100,000 people. They dare to siege the city from all sides! We concentrate our troops and fight out a city gate. We will definitely defeat them!" Hu Yiwen asked Xi Luchi for his order.

Xi Luchi stroked his dense beard and did not speak, his face was extremely gloomy.

After a while, he said, "Preserve!"

Before Hu Yiwen could say anything, he sneered and added: "Be calm, sooner or later, victory will be ours. So what if you let the Wolf Fang Army be arrogant first? The person who laughs to the end will definitely be us. When we defeat the Wolf Fang Army, how can we mock them if we can't?"

This is reasonable. Whether it is Huo Wen, Satuk, or even Husunadin, a monk from the Supervision Institute who does not understand war, thinks it makes sense and has no problem.

Under Xi Luchi's order, his personal troops walked up to the city, arranged in dense arrangements.

They made up their minds that if the Wolf Tooth Army gave up their war horses and attacked the city, they would give the Wolf Tooth Army a head-on attack, without any gaps, so that the Wolf Tooth Army could take advantage of it.

Of course, the Wolf Tooth Army would not jump to the city for no reason. Although the city of Talas seemed very low to them, the ferocious beast and war horse could pass by just one jump.

In front of the severe military formation, Shangguan Qingcheng drew out his long sword and pointed it at Talas City. His eyes were calm and his voice was unscathed, "Bridge!"

At this time, the soldiers of the Wolf-Tooth Army had already set off their war horses and squatted beside the war horses. In front of each person, there was a giant crossbow. If you look carefully at the shape of the giant crossbow, you will find that they are no different from the powerful siege crossbows equipped by the infantrymen of the Tiger Guard.

This kind of magic weapon has a unique name called Hawkeye.

There is no special idea for this name, it just highlights it shooting far, because Hawkeye sees far.

This is the standard heavy crossbow of the Tiger Guards and Yulin Army infantry, which is for them to use when siegeing cities and plundering the ground. Especially when facing a strong city, adjust the heavy crossbow dispatch and shoot from all sides, ordinary cities will be almost covered in full.

Because it is heavy and large, soldiers need to squat on the ground to control it, and it is not suitable for cavalry to control it on horseback. The cavalry in the Wolf-fang Army and the Yulin Army are not equipped with Hawkeye.

But what does the Wolf Tooth Army exist?

It was an army similar to Li Ye's personal army. Not to mention being unique in the Chang'an imperial guards sequence, it was also unique among the three pure Qi training cultivators.

Who is Shangguan Qingcheng?

It was the person who killed himself in his previous life when Li Ye burned himself to the Xuanwu Tower and said that I used my blood as his majesty's heroic movement. He was the person who Li Ye trusted and closest to the guard in Prince An's mansion. He grew up with him and understood his thoughts best.

In the past years, the wolf teeth army led by Shangguan Qingcheng did not go out when they fought.

The most critical node now is not to face the most powerful enemy, or to undertake the most difficult and core tasks, and to do your best to win the battle for the army?

The Shumen and Taoist monks are indeed not as many as the Xinyue Sect, but the Tang Dynasty has a deep foundation, and the Chang'an Imperial Army has only 300,000 pure Qi training monks. Is this what Li Ye wants to hide his weakness after he is full?

No, he just knows the battlefield, so he uses good steel on the blade.

Li Ye never forgot that Shangguan Qingcheng was his most trusted person, and the Wolf Tooth Army was the sharpest knife in his hand.

Everyone knows the Wolf Tooth Army, and even Xi Luchi knows it very well in detail about its past. But do they really know the Wolf Tooth Army? Maybe they know, but what they know is always history. And Li Ye, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Wolf Tooth Army, is constantly adding new means to it.

The reason why cavalry are cavalry is not because they cannot fight in infantry.

But because of their elite.

Shangguan Qingcheng, who was in white robe and white horse, immediately in front of the army, the west wind blew her cloak, making her look like a god of war.

With her order, in the military formation behind her, outside the city walls, hundreds of thousands of hawk-eyed heavy crossbows shot out dazzling flowing clouds. The flowing clouds emitting spiritual light on all sides formed a gorgeous sea of ​​stars at the top of Talas, and then fell into the city.

The sound of air explosions in the city is as dense as rainstorms on a summer night.

The smoke and dust rose and instantly filled the air.

Shocking, screaming, and wailing sounds endlessly.

The monks holding a round shield on the top of the city were guarding their severity. They found that the crossbow arrows did not descend on them, but fell into the city. They all turned back in shock. When they saw the smoke and dust in the city, the soldiers fled, and the wolf running, they couldn't help but look stunned.

It is not only people who suffer, but also houses.

The houses in Talas City are all walled by loess. Now the roof is dilapidated and the walls are damaged, so naturally smoke and dust will roll.

Before they could figure out the situation and figure out the intention of the Wolf Fang Army doing this, the second round of clouds had risen from all sides, and they were lifted up in Talas City, gathering into a sea of ​​stars and smashing down!

This time, the city was even more chaotic, with more soldiers and people killed and injured, and the houses were even more damaged. Not only did the roof collapse, but there were gaps on the walls.

In summer hail, how can you penetrate the roof and destroy the walls of the house? What about magic weapons and crossbows?

Xi Luchi, Hu Yiwen, Satuk, Hu Suonatdin and others also looked at each other.

"What is the Wolf Tooth Army doing? Do you know that you can't attack the city, so you use heavy crossbows to shoot the soldiers in the city, causing us unbearable casualties?" Hu Yiwen exclaimed in surprise.
