Chapter 1154 Broken Leaf City
"Online Games: Lords of All ()" Find the latest chapter!
Groups of Turkic cavalry continuously attacked the Queyue Formation composed of white soldiers, and were shot fiercely by five thousand strong crossbowmen with divine arm bows. Thousands of cavalry were killed and injured. The leading Tuqi Shi general Mohe Dagan was shot by the divine arm bow. Slightly injured!
Some Turkic cavalry passed through the gaps between the chariots, trying to make a breakthrough.
However, Guan Yu led five hundred elite swordsmen and axemen. Once the Turkic cavalry galloped in from the passage between the chariots, they killed them.
Five hundred swords and axes were raised and lowered, and the Turkic cavalry who entered the formation were killed!
Guan Yu used his green sword to instantly kill the oncoming Turkic cavalry.
Zhang Fei led dozens of Youzhou Tuqi and Pig Turk cavalry, killing hundreds of them.
Liao Hua drew his spear and fought several Turkic cavalry, flying one Turkic cavalryman away, and then stabbed another Turkic cavalryman to death with his spear.
Zhou Cang fought on foot, holding the iron rope with his own hands, tripping up the attacking Turkic cavalry, and many Turkic cavalrymen fell on their backs.
The battle lasted for several hours. The Turkic cavalry's horn bows were fired on horseback. In any case, the range could not compare with the divine arm bow.
Even more Turkic cavalry were killed by divine arm bows than were assassinated by white soldiers using spears.
The Turkic cavalry's attack was fruitless and they could only retreat reluctantly.
"Chief, this seems to be the elite of the Xia army. It is difficult for us to capture it!"
Mohdagan attacked many times but could not move forward, so he had to retreat and apologize to Sulu.
"Trash! Everyone, listen to my orders!"
Sulu was dissatisfied that his men could not break the enemy formation, so he went into battle himself!
Sulu sent Tuqishi's most elite cavalry and sharpshooters to attack Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's thousands of men again!
Qingqi passed by Queyue Formation and shot at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
Zhang Fei casually swung the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, and the Zhangba Snake Spear made a sound of breaking through the air and knocked an arrow away.
Sulu sent out a sharpshooter from Tuqishi, and almost all of his arrows were missed!
The arrows of the sharpshooters on the sudden cavalry passed through the forest of guns of the white soldiers and killed them!
"This is no ordinary cavalry..."
Chen Dao held a spear in his right hand. The spear shook and he shot away several arrows flying towards him.
These arrows were shot at Chen Dao's facade from different directions. Once hit, each arrow would be fatal. It can be seen that this cavalry is proficient in mounted shooting.
"ah!!"
The galloping Turkic cavalry formed a spear phalanx and was shot by the crossbowmen. Turkic cavalry kept rolling off their horses!
Sulu personally held a gun, rushed to the front of the formation, stabbed a white soldier to death, and then retreated from the side.
The Turkic cavalry formed an oval shape and charged into the formation in turns, trying to use their lives to break up the arriving white soldiers.
At this time, Sulu was like a crazy gambler. In order to attack Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's formation, he had already lost part of his troops. If he could not capture it, the gain would outweigh the loss, so he continued to attack.
Many cavalry generals often get into trouble when facing Queyue Formation.
"Watch me capture it alive!"
Zhang Fei held a snake spear eight feet long and galloped out of the formation, heading straight for Sulu!
"Father!"
Zhang Bao followed Zhang Fei as a support!
A group of Youzhou cavalry came out. The Turkic cavalry who originally raised their bows fell into panic due to the sudden hand-to-hand combat. One Turkic cavalry was even lifted several meters into the air by Zhang Fei!
"Hahaha! It's great, fighting on the battlefield is more suitable for me!"
Zhang Fei returned to the long-lost feeling, full of joy and full force!
Zhang Fei's zhangba snake spear, which was originally used to attack the enemy by stabbing, was treated as a wooden stick. He slapped it at will and knocked down several Turkic cavalry at the same time!
Dozens of Youzhou Turkic cavalry armed with spears followed Zhang Fei to attack the Turkic cavalry!
The Youzhou Tuqi are fully armored and attack the enemy formation. Even the Tuqi Shi guards who are good at archery will be killed if they are approached by the Youzhou Tuqi.
Zhang Fei's team of Youzhou assault cavalry were newly recruited from Zhuo County. However, under the leadership of Zhang Fei, they attacked decisively and used Sulu's assault cavalry to gain experience.
Sulu's cavalry did not expect Zhang Fei to take the initiative to attack with dozens of cavalry, but they were in chaos.
"We also sent troops,
Defeat powerful enemies! "
Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei's Zhutu disrupted Sulu's deployment, so he brought his sword and axemen and attacked with all his strength!
Liao Hua also chased him with a gun.
Hundreds of axemen held up their bright long swords. As a special unit, like Guan Yu, the sword energy had a green glow, which could increase the damage.
The most brutal one was Guan Yu. His heavy war horses scattered the Turkic cavalry. Once the Turkic cavalry blocked the way, Guan Yu would kill them directly!
"It's really reckless, but that's their style..."
On the other side of the river, Chen Xi saw that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were guarding, but instead took the initiative to attack the cavalry that was several times his own. He couldn't help but feel a headache.
But offense is their style, and it's probably unrealistic to expect them to defend.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei made a fierce attack, which made Sulu retreat.
"Damn it, there are too many cavalry!"
Zhang Fei killed hundreds of Turkic cavalry, but was unable to find the location of the Turkic general.
Sulu retreated for several miles, gathered up the remaining troops, and retreated to Suiye City in defeat. However, the rest of Liu Bei's army successfully crossed the Chu River and arrived at Suiye City!
"This is Suiye City? Suiye City is one of the four towns in Anxi in the Tang Dynasty. It is a small town built after Chang'an City. It is the birthplace of Li Bai and can be regarded as a famous city."
Chen Xi accompanied Liu Bei to the city and looked at the legendary Broken Leaf City.
The Tang army stationed troops in this city for 40 years, during which time Li Bai was born.
During the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty was extremely powerful and could compete with the Arab Empire during the "Great Conquest" for control of the Transoxiana region of Central Asia.
The Han and Tang Dynasties were strong enough to march into Central Asia during the cold weapon era.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guangli crossed the Congling Mountains twice and went on an expedition to Dawan.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty became more ambitious. It conquered the Turkic tribes in the west with the Anxi Governor's Palace, set up sixteen governor's capitals in the sixteen countries east of Persia, and regarded the Hezhong area in Central Asia as its own territory.
The Great Protector of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty and the Governor of Khorasan of the Arab Empire battled wits and courage in Central Asia, and had to deal with various tribes. The excitement was unimaginable.
At one time, the seat of the Anxi Protectorate was moved to Suiye City.
If the Anshi Rebellion had not broken out in the later period and the Tang Dynasty's power had turned from prosperity to decline, perhaps Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty would have become the second Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, the Anxi Army was one of the most powerful armies. After the Anshi Rebellion began, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty dispatched the Anxi Army to enter the Pass to quell the rebellion. The Anxi Protectorate, which lost its main army, also quickly fell.
Now, the Xia army's troops have crossed Suiye City and plan to take this city back into the empire's territory.
Sulu hid in Suiye City and defended it with a solid city.
Suiye City was built according to the layout of Chang'an City. Although the scale is small, the height of the city wall is still exaggerated, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Build siege engines."
Chutian had been preparing for the Western Expedition for five years. Each legion had craftsmen and carried a large number of construction drawings.
The craftsmen of Liu Bei's army soon began to make trebuchets, ladder trucks, and flying ladders for siege.
Chen Xi was deeply interested in capturing the famous city of Suiye City.
The current Broken Leaf City is a medium-sized city.
"It's hard to imagine that there are many cities in the west of the Western Region and north of the Tianshan Mountains."
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Suiye City was built among the mountains.
As a medium-sized city, Broken Leaf City is not yet the target of this western expedition.
Conquering Central Asia, as well as West Asia, South Asia, and further afield is the sphere of influence of the Western lords...
Liu Bei was also shocked by the vastness of the world.
Sulu was not the most difficult enemy to deal with. He was just sent to Broken Leaf City by the Golden Family as a nail to threaten the Western Expedition of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The mission of Liu Bei's army is to eliminate the threat of Sulu.
"Brother, how's it going?"
Zhang Fei came to ask Liu Bei for credit.
Liu Bei said with a straight face: "The military advisor ordered you to hold on and let the enemy retreat in the face of difficulties, but you attack without permission. If the enemy has heavy armored cavalry and injure you, what should you do?"
Liu Bei's worries are not unreasonable.
Although the Daxia Dynasty collected a large amount of intelligence during preparations for the Western Expedition, the battlefield was changing rapidly. In the wild, intelligence might still lag behind, and accidents would always happen.
If Sulu had terrifying troops such as the Cowardly Xue Army and the Turkic Tiger Division, which specialized in besieging and killing military generals, then with the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they might be able to break into a hundred thousand Turkic cavalry, and most of them would be killed.
Chutian once exhausted the overlord Xiang Yu to death with his high-level troops.
Zhang Fei disagreed: "This is Sulu, it's just mediocre."
Guan Yu also said: "When I look at Sulu, it's like inserting a sticker to sell one's ears."
"If you underestimate the enemy too much, you will suffer a loss."
Chen Xi shook his head.
There are countless cases where fierce generals overturned, including Xiang Yu in Gaixia, Lu Bu in Baimenlou, Ran Min in Lixing Mountain, Gao Aocao in Heyang, Li Cunxiao in Taiyuan...
The more powerful you are, the easier it is to overturn.
Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, and Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates...
Chen Xi had to remind them.
There is no doubt that Guan and Zhang were brave enough, but they needed constant supervision by a military advisor and their eldest brother Liu Bei.
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked down upon Sulu who had retreated to Suiye City, Sulu was standing on the tower observing Liu Bei's army besieging Suiye City.
Sulu, as the watchdog used by the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Arab Empire in history, had repelled the Arabs many times. It was not that easy to deal with, so Chutian sent Liu Bei's army, which was relatively powerful, to attack Shaiye City.
In "Lords", those who are qualified to separate one side are not simple characters.
Wo Kuotai sent Sulu to garrison Suiye City, which is enough to prove that Sulu is a qualified mad dog that can bite people.
"Although thousands of horses were killed and injured, I already know their origins - the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang from the Central Plains. Emperor Xia really thought highly of me, and he actually sent the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang to deal with me. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are worthy of ten thousand people Enemy. But..."
Sulu summoned his general Mohe Dagan: "Tonight the cavalry ambushing in the mountains will be dispatched to surprise Liu Bei's army. Using fire as the signal, we will cooperate inside and outside to defeat Liu Bei's army."
"It turns out the leader has an ambush!"
The injured Mohe Dagan was afraid of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei like a tiger. However, Sulu still had a hand, and the game had just begun.
"Where does this disturbing feeling come from?"
As Liu Beijun's military advisor, Chen Xi felt vaguely uneasy.
Sulu was powerful and was abandoned by the Tang Dynasty. However, the ruthless Turks who fought against the Tang Dynasty and Arabia at the same time and were known as the "Bulls of Central Asia" would not cower in Suiye City so easily.
"General Chen Dao, tonight, Yun Chang and Yide are supposed to take turns patrolling, but the white soldiers must also be on alert at all times."
"What the military advisor means is that it is possible for Sulu to go out of the city to attack at night?"
"It's not impossible, this person is definitely not that simple."
Chen Xi asked Chen Dao to divide the Baijie soldiers into three groups of 800 men each to strengthen patrols at night.
Suiye City is located at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. There are mountains belonging to the Tianshan Mountains nearby. In the valley, Sulu ambushed 20,000 Turkic cavalry.
