Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh Tianhuangshan blocking battle (six)
"Listen to me, the great emir has ordered me to chop off my head if I can't conquer the mountain. Before I die, I will chop off your dog's head first. This time we attack the mountain, whether we advance or retreat, anyone who hesitates will be killed."
Kill! Those who retreat, kill! Those who linger and refuse to advance, kill! For the glory of the true God, sons and daughters, follow me and go up the mountain to annihilate the Tang bandits!"
The Great Food Army is worthy of being an army that has fought hundreds of battles. Even though it had just suffered a heavy setback, it was able to regroup very quickly. In just over a quarter of an hour, two thousand death squads were ready to go. Aboud stood shirtless in front of the army.
, brandishing a machete, shouting loudly, and issued the order for a fight to the death.
"The true God is above, the true God is above!"
The two thousand suicide squads of the Great Food Army were all selected dead soldiers from the army, and they were all religious fanatics who had been brainwashed by religion. They roared in unison, and their momentum was quite astonishing.
"Attack!"
Seeing that the morale of the entire army had been raised, Abboud did not dare to delay at all. He slashed the scimitar in his hand towards the mountain peak and shouted an order to attack.
"Hoo ho, ho ho..."
At the general's command, two thousand death squads began to press forward. The huge shields were set up again, and they pressed towards the foot of the mountain like a wall.
"Order the artillery to fire!"
Although the strength of the Dashi Army's charge this time was far less than that of the last time, the momentum was even greater. It was obvious that they had the intention of completing their victory in one battle. In this regard, Xiao Sanlang, who was standing on the top of the mountain, did not dare to neglect it.
, ordered with a solemn expression.
"Every artillery position is ready, fire!"
Lu Mingquan was already ready. After receiving the order, he did not dare to be careless. He raised the small red flag in his hand, waved it down suddenly, and roared.
"Boom, boom..."
The six heavy artillery pieces of the Tang Army began to speak. Six huge artillery shells whizzed across the sky, and then slammed into the Dashi Army formation. There were loud noises, and countless shrapnel swept across. It was spectacular, but the effect was not.
It's not that good. It's not for anything else. It's just that the number of troops attacked by the Great Food Army was much smaller, and the distance between them was naturally much larger. The effect of the Tang Army's artillery attack was naturally much weaker. Even so,
, and still destroyed the two giant shields of the Dashi Army. The dozens of Dashi officers and soldiers following the giant shields were almost unscathed, but this could not stop the Dashi Army from rapidly advancing forward.
"Put it on, let it go again!"
Seeing that the artillery bombardment was ineffective, Lu Mingquan couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and shouted orders again and again. However, the loading of the heavy artillery was too cumbersome. Before the food army advanced to the foot of the mountain, the Tang army only had time to fire two rounds, and the result was only
generally.
"Dong dong..."
The heavy artillery lost its shooting angle and had no choice but to stop. At this time, the infantry artillery began to perform again. Sixteen infantry artillery fires were fired at once, causing chaos in the Dashi army formation. However, the power of the infantry artillery was relatively limited.
Although the fight was extremely lively, the results were not too great. Although the already ruthless Dashi army lost hundreds of soldiers, the remaining ones continued to charge towards the mountainside.
"Prepare kerosene bombs!"
Seeing that the food army was doing the same thing again, Lu Sansheng didn't care much. He raised his brows and roared an order. In an instant, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had been waiting for a long time picked up the kerosene bombs and ignited them.
match rope, ready to throw.
"Abandon the shield, charge, and fight up the mountain for me!"
Although the Tang army was well prepared, the food army was also well prepared. As the saying goes, a short time will make you wiser. Abboud, who had suffered the pain of kerosene bombs, naturally did not want to make the same mistake again. Seeing that his vanguard had already rushed to the Tang army.
Less than fifty steps away from the first trench, he roared immediately.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
Following Abboud's roar, the shrill horns in the Dashi Army's formation suddenly rang wildly. The Dashi Army's soldiers carrying huge shields abandoned their heavy shields and rushed towards the Tang Army's position with shouts.
past.
"Drop bombs, each platoon is free to fire!"
The kerosene bombs are extremely effective against giant shields, but they can be used against individual soldiers, which is obviously a waste. The problem is that the Tang army's kerosene bombs have already ignited, and it is impossible to get them if they don't throw them. Lu Sansheng had no choice but to
He could only give the order hastily.
"Hoo, ho..."
Thirty kerosene bombs rolled towards the officers and soldiers of Dashi, and before they could turn around, dozens of fireballs exploded. The officers and soldiers of Dashi who were at the front were in bad luck.
The whole body of the young officer and soldier was on fire, and he screamed wildly as he was burned. The momentum of the entire charge was suddenly suffocated.
"Follow me, charge, charge!"
As soon as he saw that his own forwards were in chaos, Abdel became anxious and led his guards to rush forward from the formation. From time to time, he swung his sword and killed those who dared to retreat on the spot. He also drove the officers and soldiers of the army to rush towards the trenches of the Tang army.
.
"Bah, bah..."
As soon as the Dashi army resumed their charging momentum, the gunshots in the Tang army's formation rang out like fried beans. Rows of flying bullets swept the Dashi officers and soldiers at the front to the ground like harvesting rice.
.
"The true God is above, kill!"
In the dense rain of bullets, Abboud, who had been shot in the arm and was bleeding profusely, was completely red-eyed. Regardless of the number of casualties on his side, he roared and led the Guards to rush forward.
"Fix the bayonet and shoot down the thief!"
The place where the Dashi army abandoned their shields was only about fifty steps away from the Tang army. In this fierce charge, although nearly half of them were killed or injured, the momentum of the charge never diminished. Without counting, they had already reached the enemy.
The Tang army was less than thirty steps away from the trench. When they saw that barrages alone could not stop the attack of the food army, they did not dare to be negligent, so they pulled out the horizontal sword from their waist and shouted an order.
After the Dashi Army suffered repeated blows, most of the two thousand death squads that went into battle had been killed or injured, but there were still nearly a thousand people rushing forward. In terms of troop strength, they were more than twice that of the Tang Army, and they were all fanatical.
The combat effectiveness that can be unleashed by these soldiers should not be underestimated. Even though the Tang army had a geographical advantage and was waiting for work, they could not drive each other down the mountain when they collided with each other. The two armies were in front of the trenches.
A brutal hand-to-hand battle ensued.
"Second battalion, knock down the traitor!"
Seeing the stalemate on the mountainside, Xiao Sanlang frowned immediately, and without much hesitation, he immediately issued a reinforcement order. As the horn sounded, the second regiment of the first regiment who was waiting in the second trench
The officers and soldiers of the battalion immediately rushed out with shouts and pounced on the battle group like a furious wave.
"The entire army will attack. The first person to reach the top of the mountain will be promoted to the third level and receive a bounty of one thousand coins. Charge them all!"
At this end, Xiao Sanlang was mobilizing troops. Aziz Ibn Abdul at the foot of the mountain was not idle either. He personally led a reserve force of 3,000 people and rushed towards Tianhuang Mountain. At the same time, in the middle army,
Yezid Ibn Abu, who was watching the battle, also issued a series of orders. The Dashi army, which had been feinting to attack, also launched a violent attack on various positions of the Tang army, as if they had taken gunpowder. For a time, the war was raging everywhere.
As he stood up, the entire front of Tianhuang Mountain was turned into a pot of porridge.
Killing, killing again, Lu Sansheng was already killing like crazy, his whole body was covered with blood, and several wounds were squirting ferociously with blood. Even so, he did not stop, and he was slashing crazily in the chaos.
Like a fierce god from hell, he couldn't help but do this. All the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought bloody and fiercely. Soon, in front of the fierceness of the Tang army officers and soldiers, the fanatical religious believers could no longer hold on and were suppressed.
They continued to retreat. Even if Abboud gave orders, he could not stop his own decline. At this time, the reserve force of the Dashi Army, which came for reinforcements despite the artillery fire of the Tang Army, was still more than a hundred steps away from the foot of the mountain. The situation on the battlefield had already changed.
The Tang army was tilted. If there was no miracle, this round of offensive would end in a disastrous defeat for the Food Army.
The reason why a miracle is a miracle is precisely because there are few, but it is not impossible. In fact, a miracle really happened. Just when the front mountain was being fought fiercely, Mohammed Suben Hussein had already led the army.
Five hundred officers and soldiers took a long way and sneaked to the back of the mountain. They were at a mountain col less than 200 steps away from where the Tang army's supply camp was located.
"My sons, for the glory of the true God, the time has come for me to be tested. Kill me!"
Under this rapid march all the way up the mountains and ridges, both Mohammed Subin Hussein himself and the 500 sergeants he led were exhausted. However, when they heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the front mountain,
However, Mohammed Suben Hussein did not bother to rest for a moment, roared, and led his troops to charge towards the Tang army's transport camp.
"Bah, bah..."
The Tang Army was holding on to Tianhuang Mountain this time, and its troops were already insufficient. They were basically deployed in various positions. There was only one company of troops left behind in the baggage camp. In addition, there were 1,500 people serving as civilians.
The former Tubo prisoners of war were responsible for transporting ammunition and other baggage, and there was only one squad of troops deployed behind the camp. Although they discovered the arrival of the food army in time and fired a warning shot, the thin firepower was obviously unable to stop the food force.
With the army's charging steps, the supply camp was immediately in chaos.
not good!
As soon as he heard gunshots coming from the direction of the rear camp, Xiao Sanlang, who was standing on the top of the mountain watching the battle, couldn't help but feel his heart sink. He suddenly turned around and saw a dense army of food troops rushing towards the supply camp.
The sweat on his face immediately broke out - once the baggage camp was lost, the entire defense line would collapse. At this time, although he still had a lot of reserves in his hands, they were basically deployed on the front. Even if he mobilized troops
It was already too late to rescue the rear camp. Even if they arrived, the supply camp would have been almost completely destroyed by the food army. The situation was obviously extremely serious.
"Zhang Qian, take the guard company up and guard the rear camp for me!"
Although he knew it was too late, reinforcements still had to be sent. At this critical moment, Xiao Sanlang did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly issued the order.
"promise!"
Zhang Qianai was the commander of Xiao Sanlang's guard company. When he heard the division commander's order, he did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly responded and led the guard company towards the rear camp...
