The Black Khan army was overwhelmed the city, and the war was about to break out, and the Black Khan army was already within the range of the Xia army's bow and crossbow, but Li Yanzong did not order the arrows to be released; This time, the Black Khan army did not rush up, but advanced steadily step by step, bringing great pressure to the defenders in the city like a black cloud pressing down on the city.
Suleiman also moved forward step by step with the army, and at this moment Qin Hu came back and reported to Li Yanzongyu: "General Yu, the army of the Black Khan has launched a fierce attack on the north and south at the same time, and the battle is extremely fierce, and the King of Hui and the Tatar Khan are desperately defending it. ” Li Yanzong didn't reply, still staring at the slowly advancing Black Khan army outside the city, Li Yanzong suddenly ordered: "Release arrows, release arrows" The location chosen by Li Yanzong is the maximum range of the bow and crossbow of the official Black Khan Army, within this range, the Black Khan Army will not cause much damage to the Xia Army even if it shoots arrows at the head of the city, but the craftsmen of the Xia Army can give the Black Khan Army the greatest damage.
"Projectile, shoot the enemy behind first."
Li Yanzong issued a military order again.
Seeing the Xia army releasing arrows at such a distance, Sulaman wanted to laugh at the defenders in the city who would not lead the troops to fight, but the next second Sulaman couldn't laugh, a round of arrow rain of five thousand crossbow arrows down, at least thousands of casualties, in the position where the arrow rain fell, the Black Khan army suddenly appeared a huge vacancy, but the arrow feathers on the head of the city did not mean to stop, round after round from far to near, causing great damage to the Black Khan army.
Suleiman ordered angrily: "Order the whole army to attack, and the foot soldier Gulam to attack. ” Suleiman gave an order, a group of shirtless men in the Black Khan's army did not wear any armor and walked out of the battle, this is Suleiman's most elite army Gulam, Gulam originally only had a cavalry, it was composed of slaves, death row prisoners and prisoners of war, but later Suleiman formed this infantry Gulam, each of them only had a big sword, and they did not wear armor when fighting, and they were a legion of dead soldiers.
In the past, it was with this army of dead soldiers that Suleiman conquered all the disobedient forces of the Black Khan, and now Suleiman's anger completely broke out, and he sent Gulam to attack the city, and after Suleiman gave the military order, all Gulam immediately rushed forward without any hesitation.
They were a group of warriors from hell, using their chests to resist the swords of the Xia army, but this time Ghulam chose the wrong target, because the Xia army opposite them was also a group of warriors who were not afraid of life and death, and the two armies fought in close combat at the head of the city of Gaochang.
The narrow head of the city has become a meat grinder, one person will fall and another person will come up, both armies are enduring in attrition, now at this time whoever collapses first will be defeated, this is a decisive battle, a decisive battle of life and death; There are no rhetoric, no heroism, only blood and death, and many people die under the swords of each other at every moment, and some even jump off the walls with their enemies in their arms.
No matter when, the side defending the city always has the advantage, but as more and more Black Khan armies attack the city, the advantage of the Xia army is losing little by little, and Li Yanzong can only send more troops to the city to recapture the lost city head little by little.
Gaochang City is engaged in a bloody battle, the westward army led by Richard Han is not comfortable, Richard Han led an army of 20,000 has been walking in the desert for four days, the sergeants' water bags have long been drunk, facing the hot sun, the living feel that they are about to be roasted dry, if they can't find a water source, one day Richard's army will be thirsty to death in the desert.
In order to keep the sergeant physically strong, Richard Han ordered all the sergeants to take off their armor, fortunately, the Xia army was two horses per person, otherwise I am afraid that they would have to discard all the excess equipment, and the soldiers fell before they took a step forward, and these fallen soldiers could not get up again.
Li Chahan looked at the endless sea of sand in front of him, and said angrily: "Why haven't you gone out yet?"
The adjutant general walked to the side and said, "General, according to the route on the map, we should have found the water source yesterday, and if we still find it, will we get lost." ” Richard looked at the map and said, "It's useless to talk about this now, we can only move forward, if we turn around now, we will all die of thirst in this desert." ” "Generals, generals, dozens more sergeants are dying of thirst."
A lieutenant knelt down in front of Richard and said.
The adjutant general reminded Richard: "If the general goes on like this, all of us will die of thirst in this desert." ” Richard Han said with a very solemn face: "Kill the horse, let the brothers drink the blood of the horse." ” "The general can't," said the adjutant on his knees; "These war horses are born and die with us, how can we kill them, Your Majesty is good at military law, killing war horses is a capital crime."
Li Chahan said to the kneeling adjutant general: "If Your Majesty blames it, this general will take it." ” After Li Chahan finished speaking, he walked to his war horse, touched the neck of his war horse and said with tears: "Don't blame me Lingfeng, if I don't kill you, the brothers below won't do it." ” Lingfeng seemed to understand Richard's words, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes; Richard Han pulled out his matching sword, a sword to the head of Lingfeng, Lingfeng was killed on the spot, with Richardan as an example, and selected hundreds of war horses from the army, the soldiers tearfully killed these war horses, took out the horse blood to drink, and then survived the temporary crisis.
A day later, while Richardan was leading his army to advance slowly, the scouts in front suddenly returned and reported to Richard's side: "General Yu has found an oasis in front of him, a very large oasis. ” Richard Han was overjoyed and said, "Order the army to advance at full speed, and rest after reaching the oasis." ” Due to the wrong way, the army led by Richard Han walked in the desert for two more days, that is, these two days almost did not kill Richardhan's partial division to thirst, after arriving at the oasis, the army got the water source, the scout said well, this is a big oasis and is a big lake can not be seen at a glance, it is estimated that there will be a radius of two or three hundred miles, because there are no people here in the desert.
The adjutant general walked up to Richard and said, "General, there is no oasis on our map, it is a blessing to be able to find this place, it seems that God does not want us to die of thirst in the desert."
Richard Han smiled and said, "Such a large lake must have river water inflowing, we only need to find the place where the river water flows, and then we can get out; He ordered the whole army to rest here for the night today, bring enough water, and set out tomorrow morning; In addition, let the scouts be sent to explore the way first, and don't make any mistakes. ” "Yes, the last general commands."
The adjutant general took over the military order.
After getting the water source, Richard's army quickly walked out of the desert, and it didn't take long for the army to find the way to deviate from the desert, and the next march was much smoother.
Li Chahan's side went well, but something happened to Gaochang City, and the losses of the coalition forces defending the city in successive bloody battles were very huge, which made the King of Hui and the Tatar Khan feel distressed, you must know that there are not many people in these two tribes, if the people brought out are folded here, I am afraid that these two tribes will become toothless tigers, and Li Liangzuo will pinch it as much as he wants.
