Chapter 177

Since the Tang Dynasty general Pei Xingjian left, this is the third time that asna Duzhi has led his troops to attack Qiuci city. Twice in front of him, he would like to eat and strip the boy on the head of the city alive!

He knew that the Tang army was brave and good at fighting, and it was very difficult to attack the defense line formed by them. As for the attack on the city, asnaduzhi never thought that he could succeed once.

He came again and again, but he wanted to exert some psychological pressure on the young general who is guarding Qiuci City, hoping to paralyze his opponent and then attack the city unprepared.

Or let the young general because of his own troops under the city, because of the huge pressure and chaos.

However, he did not expect that the first two military visits to Qiuci city made him flee back to the grassland in anger and in a hurry, not to mention that his strategic objectives had been destroyed.

Every time he felt that he was out of the range of the Tang Dynasty bows and arrows, but every time he was able to shoot people around him with a bunch of gorgeous blood flowers.

About 150 steps away from the city gate, he was shot by a Tang bow and arrow. It can be said that he underestimated the brave soldiers in the other side's array.

So he retreated 200 steps away from the city gate. Unexpectedly, the situation was still the same as that of the first time. He shot several warriors around him, which made him gnash his teeth, but he could only continue to retreat.

Two hundred and fifty steps is a distance that even the strongest warrior can't kill effectively.

After shooting the arrows at such a distance, the arrows can only fly to here reluctantly. They don't even need to pull out weapons, and they can be easily separated by their hands.

But this time, he obviously underestimated the young general in Kucha city. This time, the young general stood on the tower in full armor, holding a stick like object in his hand and measuring it in front of his eyes.

Li Hong put down his telescope and asked Fang Zhan: "can you confirm that he is asnaduzhi?"

"Back to daduhu, yes, the one with a black cloak on his body is asnaduzhi. He has sent people to follow them two times before. Every time they withdraw, their routes are not consistent, and it is difficult to grasp. Obviously, they are afraid that we will set ambush on the road." Fang Zhan took another telescope and put it down.

"well, let's try it today. I will not believe it. We can not talk about grassland has the final say. Is Quan Yi ready to be lawless?" Li Hong handed the telescope in his hand to Huameng next to him, and then took a large loudspeaker in the hand of Xiazhi.

Lawlessness and Quan Yi each led a thousand cavalry. They had already laid an ambush five miles in front of Kucha city. This time, Li Hong planned to stop letting ashinatu go back.

"Ah, who is asnaduzhi? Come out and make a noise. You are surrounded by us. I now order you to lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. " Li Hong took a horn made of bark and called out to the ashinatsu branch outside.

Asnaduzhi looked at several generals around him, then looked back at his 30000 men and horses, hummed, and motioned a general beside him to stand out and speak.

"Fang Zhan, prepare to shoot the arrow." Li Hong looked at a figure coming out slowly from inside, and said excitedly.

"Yes, dadaohu." Fang Zhan received the arrow that had been prepared early. After the sniper crossbow was fired, he immediately fired the arrow and ordered him to ambush on both sides of the back of asnaduzhi. Quan Yi, five miles away, attacked with lawlessness.

Li Hong was a little excited to see the figure coming out slowly. Then he asked Huameng to pass the telescope to the crossbow hand next to him and said, "don't pay attention to the figure coming out. It's definitely not asnaduzhi. I'll take a look at it with a telescope."

After Li Hong finished, he still felt uneasy. He picked up a crossbow from his feet. The crossbow was the same as the one on the tower, but the one with the longest range and the most destructive force was also the one that Li Zhi specially gave him for his use in this expedition to the western regions.

A cold arrow with thread was put into the slot. With Li Hong's hand shaking the handle, the gears on the crossbow made a light click, and the pulley controlled the bow string to move back slowly until it was locked in the slot.

After he put it on the battlement, he began to aim. He had already locked in the position of asnadukhi. However, because of the obstruction of other soldiers, Li Hong could only wait for the man who came out to flash a gap before shooting.

"Report..." A scout suddenly jumped up to the head of the city and yelled.

Li Hong continued to aim and asked in a low voice, "what's the matter?"

"Back to daduhu, just received news that Wenlu and other small towns were attacked by the cavalry of asnadu." Exclaimed the Scout.

"Well, I see." Li Hong remained unmoved, and continued to aim at asnaduzhi, 150 paces away from the city, and said faintly.

"Dadushu, do you want me to lead the troops immediately..." Fang Zhan asked nervously.

"No, it's asnaduchi's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He's waiting for us to make a mess of ourselves now, so that he can take advantage of his weakness to attack Qiuci." At the same time, Li Hong decisively pulled the trigger.With the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, a black shadow of the arrow seemed to have torn the air. With a trace of vibration, it shot into the throat of asnaduchi in a blink of an eye.

Before the sound of the broken arrow fell, the sound of the arrow sounded in the sky.

"Missed!" Li Hong snatched the telescope and saw the cavalry of Western Turks in a panic. The figure walking out slowly fell to the ground from the horse's back. This was shot by another crossbow man.

However, Li Hong observed again and again that his arrow had been shot at the clavicle of asnaduzhi, which did not hurt his life.

"It's a disappointment." Li Hong cursed angrily and then looked at the Western Turkic cavalry, which was not completely flustered at this time.

But it was only when he saw the smoke and dust gradually rising from both sides behind the Turkic cavalry that someone's brow slowly expanded. At this time, the earth's vibration naturally disturbed the Turkic cavalry.

Khan's injuries have already made them unstable. Now, with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty surrounding them, the Western Turkic cavalry was distracted and the whole team became loose.

Asnaduzhi forgot to look at the tower of Qiuci city. From such a long distance, they could still shoot such powerful arrows. Obviously, the other side had deliberately induced themselves in the past few times, in order to find out the direction of their retreat or to ambush soldiers in the rear.

But I was really cheated! His men had wrapped up the wound with white cloth, but the arrow was pulled out by himself: "withdraw."

"Surrender quickly, asnaduzhi, or I will not be so polite if I catch you." The voice of the last year on the tower was very clear to asnaduzhi because of the thing on his mouth. It seemed that he was talking not far from him.

Asnaduzhi had no time to pay attention to Li Hong's ridicule and provocation. Under the escort of his own soldiers, he led the team to retreat from the side of Qiuci city.

"Open the city gate and pursue the Iron Pagoda." Li Hong looked at the already disordered Western Turkic cavalry and ordered in a loud voice.

The first two times I showed weakness was to paralyze ashnatsu. When I was 150 steps away, I shot 150 steps away, but I didn't shoot any more.

When two hundred steps, naturally only 200 steps of shooting distance, such a plan, is to let asnaduzhi according to common sense that there is no arrow can shoot 200 steps away from the target.

The 1000 cavalry led by lawlessness and Quan Yi are now like a column of wolves on the grassland. There is no noise in the whole column. The silent fighting spirit and soldiers with bows and crossbows in their hands send out a fierce and cruel atmosphere of bloodletting, chasing the cavalry of asnaduzhi quickly.

In terms of cavalry, the cavalry of Western Turks is naturally very strong, but the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is also not bad. Many years of war have made the Tang people adapt to the life on horseback, so when they pursue, they do not fall behind.

In addition, Li Hong, who has always been protecting calves, likes to equip his troops with the best equipment first. Therefore, these horses are also top-grade ones from Tuyuhun. They have certain advantages in endurance, physical strength and explosive power compared with those in Western Turks.

Besides, today's war horses still wear iron shoes. If they can't catch up with asnadu's horses, Li Hong can find a piece of tofu and think about when to die on it.

Li Hong, who had been in battle with Tu Baiqi, was so excited that he immediately stepped on the horse and chased out of the city.

"No, your highness." Xiaoxue Jiaohu, a did not see, someone rode out of the city gate on his food ticket, and two hundred cavalry followed closely behind him.

Li Hong ignored the shouts of the four women and two eunuchs behind him, riding on horseback crazily, with 200 cavalry on both sides silently following each other.

Their mission on the battlefield is very simple, that is to protect the prince from harm, no matter where he is. And they only listen to Li Hong's orders. Other people don't want to move them, even Bai Chun and others can't.

The pursuit of four or fifty Li made ashnathuzhi exhausted. Naturally, two rich villages in Wenlu area were looted by them, and even some old, young, women and children died in their hands.

Li Hong sat on his horse and looked at the small town of Wenlu. He used to be the governor's office of the Tang Dynasty, but now it looks like a ruin because of the indiscriminate killing of asnaduzhi.

"These people are all their people, by right." Li Hong inspected the small town, looked at many crying people, murmured.
