Chapter 243

    Looking at the soldiers rolling in the fire and smelling the pungent smell in the air, Li Wanqing''s face changed greatly.


    Fire oil!


    These flying rocket arrows actually carry fierce fire oil.


    This kind of fuel used for lighting was used by Turkic soldiers to attack the city. At this time, the power really can''t be underestimated.


    In particular, this fierce fire oil has a rapid fire. Putting out the fire with water will only make the fire bigger, which is really a headache.


    Unexpectedly, there was such a large amount of fierce fire oil among the Turkic soldiers!


    Seeing a steady stream of rockets flying into the city, it inadvertently ignited the boiling oil that was about to pour on the Turkic soldiers. The city was shrouded in a sea of fire.


    The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty wanted to avoid both the flowing fire and the arrows. They were vaguely confused, and the attack was stifled.


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Turkic soldiers have bullied close to the north gate.


    "Boom"


    "Boom"


    The sound of banging wood against the city gate was heard.


    "The gate! The gate is about to break!"


    The sound of panic came from the bottom of the city, which made Li Wanqing feel cold and drink loudly.


    "Hold the gate and put the rolling stone!"


    Under this command, a new hope was kindled for those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were slightly flustered, and they withdrew the rolling stones from the wall one after another.


    Boom, boom.


    With a loud noise, the Turkic soldiers who hit the door were instantly submerged in stones.


    The wail sounded again, and the momentum of hitting the city gate gradually stopped.


    Li Wanqing looked at the bodies of Turkic soldiers all over the city and couldn''t help but be surprised. If it went on like this, the final result would be the destruction of the city.


    Datang is struggling to support, and the Turks are surprised.


    The Turkic leader frowned when he looked at the mountain of Turkic soldiers'' bodies in front of Xiangcheng.


    This time, such great damage was expected by him, but he was slightly surprised by the tenacious resistance of the general Tang.


    The deputy general next to the Turk leader looked at the bodies and said, "I can''t bear it.".


    "General, why don''t we stop here today and wait for the siege equipment to be delivered tomorrow. Isn''t it easy?"


    But it''s a pity that Xiangcheng has captured half of the city in front of us, so we give up!


    But it is unwise to rely on these soldiers to attack.


    The Turkic general pondered for a moment, took out his machete and shouted.


    "Withdraw!"


    With a melodious horn, the Turkic soldiers who were attacking the city suddenly stopped, and then quickly disappeared into the night.


    "Withdraw?"


    Li Wanqing was puzzled.


    I don''t know whether this surprise is joy or sorrow, so I waved my jade hand and said.


    "The whole army, be on alert!"


    ……


    At night.


    Tang Hao led 20000 cavalry to the vast field. This time, he is going to Xiangcheng.


    That was the place where I fought my first battle to annihilate the enemy and the only way to the Turkic grassland. This stop will be the beginning of my journey to Yinshan. If I embark on this journey, I will never have a way back.


    Just as Tang Hao''s thoughts were flying, a scout came with his horse and said eagerly.


    "General, it''s reported from Xiangcheng that more than 10000 Turkic cavalry are heading for Xiangcheng."


    Tang Hao was stunned when he heard the speech.


    Logically speaking, the Turkic army is still on the front line of Deyang and has not started a full-scale war.


    Why is there a war in Xiangcheng, which is far away from Deyang?


    Wu Tong frowned slightly and mused.


    "Sir, Xiangcheng is far from Deyang. Even if it is captured, it will not play much role in the war."


    "What''s more, Xiangcheng is now garrisoning 5000 soldiers. It''s not easy to attack. What''s the intention of this Turkic army?"


    Tang Hao, who galloped across the fertile field on wuzhui, thought a little and said with a sneer at the corners of his mouth.


    "Unexpectedly, this Jieli Khan is also a master who can draw inferences from one instance."


    "Don''t you think Jieli Khan''s move is somewhat similar to my attack on Yinshan?"


    Reminded by Tang Hao, Wu Tongshun made a comparison with Tang Hao''s meaning and suddenly realized it.


    Nowadays, although the number of Turkic armies is dominant, it must be difficult to defeat hundreds of thousands of Tang troops at one stroke.


    If you raid Xiangcheng, break the city and bypass the rear of Datang, you will be surprised. At that time, whether the Datang army is divided or not, it will put a lot of pressure on the Datang army.


    In other words, even if we can''t break Xiangcheng, the garrison in Xiangcheng will also convey that among the Turkic army, if there is a stalemate on the front battlefield, Jieli Khan can''t shift the front battlefield, attack Xiangcheng, break Datong and go straight to Chang''an.


    In this way, the Xiangcheng war gave Jieli Khan a way out.


    Wu Tong sneered and said.


    "With more than 10000 soldiers, I also want to break Xiangcheng without previous garrison, not to mention all cavalry. Isn''t it a fool''s dream?"


    Tang Hao was shocked when he heard the speech.


    Reasonably speaking, after more than a month of repair, Xiangcheng is as solid as gold soup, not to mention more than 10000 names. It is not easy for 30000 people to attack, let alone all cavalry.


    Even when he first attacked Xiangcheng, he relied on unborn gunpowder to have miraculous effects.


    Jieli Khan will not be stupid enough to let these more than 10000 soldiers die in his military life!


    kerosene!


    Tang Hao suddenly had this idea in his heart.


    The western regions are the territory of the Western Turks. Recently, the emergence of a large amount of fire oil in the western regions caravan is a sign. If there is a relationship between the Western Turks and the eastern Turks, some fire oil transactions are also normal.


    But if it is an official transaction, it is not a simple transaction between fire oil, but a transaction of fierce fire oil.


    This kind of oil is the raw material of oil. At this time, the output is very small and is rarely used to attack the city.


    The case of fire attack was not heard much before the Tang Dynasty, but it was very extensive in the following five dynasties, ten countries and Song Dynasty.


    This time, it is no surprise that Jieli Khan did his best to use this luxury.


    If so, in the face of such things that have not yet attended three on the battlefield, the five thousand soldiers may not be able to defend Xiangcheng!


    Thinking of this, Tang Hao looked cold and shouted.


    "Keep going! Go to Xiangcheng!"
