Shule City.
Yao Ge Luolu looked at Tang Jun who appeared outside the city, his face flushed with excitement.
He had been looking forward to his own battle of revenge. He thought that he would have to wait until later to attack the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Tang Jun suddenly appeared outside Shule City on his own initiative. This made him feel more and more impatient for the battle below while being surprised.
"The Tang army took the initiative to attack, and we defended the city. This is the best fighting situation." The guard of Shule City took a look at Yaoge Luolu, "There is something wrong with this Tang army."
He knew the other party's mood, and was also worried that the other party would not be able to hold back the fighting spirit in his heart. He wanted to take his own tribe's fighters and take the initiative to go out of the city to fight with the other party, so he issued a warning.
The Tang army came very quickly. It took only half a day from the time they discovered the opponent's whereabouts to the time when the opponent's soldiers approached the city. This made them not very prepared. If you go out, you may not be able to come back if you are a little further away from Shule City.
However, Shule City has not been in a state of martial law for a day or two. Although the war came suddenly, they will not be caught off guard.
The defender of Shule City felt that something was wrong. It was the speed of the Tang army's march. The distance of fifty miles took the opponent less than half a day. It's fine if they are cavalry, but the opponent is an army of infantry and cavalry, so this speed is unbelievable.
"The Tang Dynasty was rich, and there were many mules and horses in the army. This time they obviously made up their minds to make a surprise attack. What's so strange about hurrying?" Yao Ge Luolu didn't care about the guard's caution.
In fact, when Tang Jun approached Shule City, he deliberately slowed down, and Bai Niu basically did not run.
"Let's prepare for battle. We just need to defend the city. After years of construction, Shule City has high trenches, deep trenches, and complete fortifications. In terms of strength, it is almost as good as Bala Sagon. As long as we don't make mistakes, the Tang army wants to capture Shule City, no matter what, it will take a year."
The guard looked at Yao Ge Luolu, and emphasized again: "Don't take the initiative to attack."
Yaoge Luolu smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I really want to swallow these Tang troops in one gulp, I still won't forget how to fight a war."
When the two of them said this, the Tang army outside the city had already begun to besiege the city on three sides.
"The ones who came should be only the vanguard of the Tang army, only about 30,000 people. But they neither rested nor set up camp. When they came, they immediately set up an army formation. This is to start a siege against us with 30,000 people?! "
Seeing this, the guard's face gradually turned black. He dared to feel contempt, even insult, "There are more than 200,000 defenders in Shule City, and nearly 40% of them are monks. Among them, 5,000 are Qi training monks. How dare you be so arrogant?!"
Yao Ge Luolu was also gnashing his teeth, because he was defeated by the Tang army before, and the humiliation he felt was stronger than that of the defender, "The Tang army has always been so rampant, and never refused to fight with me with a considerable force. Every time it is a numerical disadvantage , defiantly...."
Having said that, he paused for a moment, unable to continue with the following words.
After all, Tang Jun had defeated his trilogy before when he was at a huge disadvantage in strength.
However, he quickly followed up with his own words, "After coming to Shule City, with the help of the New Moon Sect, the number of monks in our soldiers has changed from 10% of the entire army to 40% now. The strength is more than four times stronger! Tang Jun still uses this arrogant posture to fight against my soldiers, they are killing themselves!"
These words are very confident and reasonable, the guard nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If the Tang army is just putting on a show, restricting us from leaving the city, and covering the main force to set up camp, then that's all. If you really want to attack the city, We don't have to be polite either!"
After he finished speaking, Tang Jun's formation was completed.
The two observed for a while, and suddenly discovered something unusual.
"Yao Ge Luo, what formation is Tang Jun in, why does everyone have a big crossbow?" The guard said in astonishment.
Yao Ge Luolu was also in a daze, "I've never seen Tang Jun use this kind of formation before..."
Three Faces City
Outside the wall, there were three large formations of the Tang Army, with seven or eight thousand infantry in the center and two or three thousand cavaliers riding on the flanks. The distance between the infantry was quite large, and there were two or three steps apart. A crossbow bigger than a person appeared, and the crossbow was wound and aimed at the city.
The crossbows of the infantry are large, and the crossbows of the cavalry are relatively small, but it is the same posture.
Yao Ge Luolu smiled, "What is the Tang army going to do? With a distance of three hundred steps, can these crossbows reach the city? How powerful is it?"
At this distance, the bows and crossbows on the top of the city can't reach the Tang army's formation.
"Are they preventing us from going out of the city? No, the direction their crossbow arrows are aiming at is not the city gate." The guard was not sure.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and he was startled, "When Tang Jun came over just now, I didn't see them carrying crossbows with them! Could it be that they were taken out of those box cars behind? No, I didn't see them carrying crossbows. , the crossbows in everyone's hands appeared out of thin air!"
As soon as this remark came out, Yaoge Luolu was taken aback, and quickly said: "Don't talk nonsense, how could such a thing happen!"
"Did you see Tang Jun carrying the crossbow?!" The guard turned blue.
Yao Ge Luolu was speechless, he did not see it.
However, if the crossbows appeared "out of thin air", there is only one explanation. They were taken out of the storage bag by the soldiers of the Tang army! The storage bag can only be used by monks above the Qi refining stage. Doesn't this mean that all the 30,000 Tang soldiers are Qi training monks? !
Thinking of this, the guard looked at Yao Ge Luolu's eyes full of urgency.
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!" Yaoge Luolu understood the other party's meaning and shook his head decisively, "Five years ago, although there were a lot of monks in the Tang army, they were only 20-30%. An army of Qi monks!"
"Could it be the Spike Army?" The guard hesitated.
"Spike Army... I haven't seen it before." Yao Ge Luolu was stunned, but he quickly shook his head again, "Spike Army is cavalry, the Tang Army outside the city is obviously not! Even if it is Spike Army, it's impossible..."
Just as he was saying this, the buzzing sound of spiritual energy like a landslide and tsunami was suddenly heard outside the city.
The two of them turned their heads and were immediately stunned.
In the formation of the Tang army, a bright galaxy flew up, spread across the air, dispelled the sunlight, and suddenly descended on Shule City!
"It's a magic weapon attack!" The guard exclaimed suddenly, his face full of shock.
He hastily made a move, and took over the defensive cover in front of him, covering a range of hundreds of meters to the left and right! As the crossbow bolts blasted out clusters of spiritual brilliance on the rain cover, he soon discovered that these crossbow bolts were powerful, almost equivalent to a blow by a high-level Qi training monk!
There are too many crossbow bolts within a hundred feet, his defensive cover can't bear it at all!
In order to protect himself, he had to shrink the defensive cover again and again, and in the end he could only take into account the range of ten feet around him!
At this time, the crossbow arrows in Tang Jun's formation had already started the second round of salvo!
The guard was about to cry out in horror, but he resolutely didn't move. The rain cover exploded with a burst of aura again, shrinking a circle again!
After the three rounds of volleys had passed, the defensive shields of the guard and Yao Ge Luolu could only protect the range of ten steps to the left and right of themselves! For the entire city, this distance is almost negligible.
But at this moment, when the crossbow, the magic weapon of the Tang army, stopped for a moment, Yaoge Luolu and the guards discovered at the same time that the top of the city was completely changed, the female wall disappeared, and it became a flat land, and the soldiers on it disappeared. The ground blood and the remains of severed limbs!
This is not the most terrifying thing. They heard the cries, screams, and noise from the city behind them. When they turned around, they felt cold hands and feet, like falling into an ice cave.
I don't know how many houses in the city collapsed and destroyed, and countless people were crushed in the ruins, causing countless deaths and injuries. In the smoke and dust, many soldiers were stunned, looking up at the top of the city in a daze, more people were running around, it was a scene of doomsday!

"Tang Jun's crossbow, shoot
Cheng is so far away? Three salvos, the attack range covered the entire city, not even the center was spared? ! "Yaoge Luolu and the guard looked at each other, and they both saw the strong fear in each other's eyes.
At this time, in the formation of the Tang army outside the city, the bows and crossbows began to shoot again.
Hearing the buzzing sound of spiritual energy, Yaoge Luolu and the guard trembled, as if they heard the sound of the gate of hell opening.
If the Tang army's offensive continues, no matter how many defenders there are in Shule City, it will be useless, because they will be shot and killed indiscriminately!
And the power of the crossbow, the magic weapon of the Tang army, is too great, it is already equivalent to the high level of Qi training, not to mention that ordinary troops cannot rush out of the city to meet the enemy, even if all the Qi training monks in the city are concentrated, they will only be shot to death In the middle!
"This isn't an army, it's clearly an evil spirit from hell!" Yao Ge Luo Lu was so distraught that he almost sat down on the ground.
"How can humans defeat such a monster? How can Shule City be defended?" The guard wanted to cry but had no tears.
In the army formation outside the city, after firing another round of crossbow arrows, Niudan and Er Gouzi looked at each other with pride and joy.
The crossbows in their hands are larger than those worn by the Spike Army, and the engraved rune circles are more complicated, so they are more powerful and have a longer range.
The Spike Army is cavalry, the cavalry mainly fights on horseback, and the bows and crossbows used have always been light, while the infantry army uses bows and crossbows when they are in battle, they all stand on the ground.
In short, the cavalry is not used to attack the city, this is the task of the infantry army. The reason why the Spike Army attacked the city of Bars Khan was simply because the opponent was on its own marching route and attacked it conveniently.
Their real combat target is not the army of the Black Khanate.
From the time Tang Jun appeared outside Shule City to the time Tang Jun entered the city, only two hours had passed.
And when they entered the city, Shule City was already a flat ruin. Ninety-nine percent of the defenders inside fell in a pool of blood, and most of them couldn't even make up a complete body.
Yao Ge Luolu did not escape.
When Tang Jun entered the city, he stood in the crowd of dead bodies covered in bruises, holding a knife in his hand, staring at Niudan and Er Gouzi in front of the queue with red eyes and tears streaming down his face.
Pointing to the thick carpet of corpses under his feet, he said word by word: "These are the warriors of our clan! They also fought in all directions, conquered cities and looted land, and exchanged their blood for their glory!
"And now, in front of your bows and crossbows, they don't even have a chance to fight, and they are blown down by the hurricane like weeds! What I want to tell you is that they are also fighters, they also have dignity, and they have defeated powerful enemies!
"And you, you troops of the Tang Dynasty, you are not human, you are demons, you are Shura who came out of hell! When you appear on the battlefield, it will be a disaster for everyone, this is not fair! You will be punished by heaven! "
Niudan sneered, "Only the weak need heaven to fight for fairness for them, and for us Tang people, fairness is within the range of our bows and crossbows!"
After saying this, he ran two steps forward and slashed at Yaoge Luolu with a single blow.
Yaoge Luolu roared, and rushed forward like a wild beast.
Soon, Niudan continued to move forward with his steps, while Yaoge Luolu, together with their fellow clansmen, became corpses on the ground.
This former city, one of the four Anxi towns, was occupied by the Tang army after an indisputable victory in the autumn of the fifth year of Tianshou, on the 11th day after the end of summer, after being occupied for more than a hundred years. .
In this battle, there were almost no survivors left in Shule City.
The Tang army used this city full of dead bodies to commemorate the soldiers of the Anxi Duhu Mansion who died here more than a hundred years ago, the Anxi Duhu and Iron Blood County King Guo Xin at that time, and commemorate those who were surrounded by foreign warriors and fought alone. For decades, until the white-haired heroes of the Tang Dynasty.
From this day on, this war-torn city once again stands tall on this bloody land as Shule Town, the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
