"ah……"
Under this fierce attack of arrows, the Turks who were caught off guard immediately fell down, and screams could not be heard. This made the anxious leader extremely sad and angry, and almost fainted.
He may have forgotten: the enemies in front of him can only be considered a retreat, not a rout! They still have good fighting power, like a hedgehog covered with thorns. No matter who wants to take a bite, they will be pricked with blood first!
After a wave of arrows, the Turkic cavalry in the town did not dare to move forward. They could only watch from a distance and shoot a few arrows in response.
"Leader Pu Gu, what should we do next?" The other leaders felt sad when they saw the miserable condition of the cavalry, and ran to Pu Gu to ask for countermeasures.
I have to say that after this accurate judgment, I pursued decisively! The prestige of Pu Gu has gradually been established in the hearts of these small tribes. At this time, no one regards him as a junior anymore, but as a real leader.
Pu Gu watched the screaming cavalry in silence, then tapped the horse's belly with his toes, driving it to circle around the hiding place of Liu Er and others.
This dilapidated small town is like a fortress, with all the dim yellow sand as far as the eye can see. Half-covered by the sand, the collapsed walls and dilapidated houses make everything here look so depressed.
storm?
Pu Gu frowned. Although their number was more than ten times that of the Tang people, the Turks were best at riding and shooting! If you dismount and attack the city, you will lose at least half of your combat power! If you want to rely on the number of people to kill these Tang people, the losses will be too great. They have already suffered heavy losses before, and they can no longer withstand such troubles!
If you can't attack by force, then besiege?
This idea seems to be a good one. There are also records of ten sieges in the Tang Dynasty's military books. The Tang people who hid in did not eat or drink. They only had to survive for three days and then go in and pick up the people!
But the problem is, it’s too close to Shuofang! If the Tang people have reinforcements, not only will the cooked duck fly away, but they may also have to get in.
You can't attack, you can't wait!
This gave Pu Gu a headache. Although he was smart, he still lacked combat experience! After thinking about it, I could only helplessly say to the other people: "Shout first and find a way to make them surrender!"
"Ah? Calling for surrender?"
When the other people heard Pu Gu's idea, they were stunned and stared at him!
They had fought countless battles with the Tang Dynasty before. They either fought when they met or ran away. They had never done this job of persuading them to surrender!
"Find someone who can speak Tang and shout inside, as long as you surrender, don't kill them! They are at the end of their rope and will surrender in order to survive!" Pu Gu gritted his teeth and shouted coldly! As for not killing them? Of course we can’t kill him now! When they are forced to find out what they want, whether to kill or not is not a matter of just one sentence?
"That's...okay!"
The other leaders obviously didn't have a better way. They looked at each other and could only try the servant's method first. Anyway, it was just a shout, and the clansmen didn't have to work hard!
Because most of these tribes are close to border towns, it is easy to find someone who can speak Tang here.
Soon, a thin man was pushed out, wearing thick armor, with a grimace on his face, and walked forward with his head turned three times.
"Ahem... Listen to the people inside, surrender quickly, we will spare your life!" Two arrows away from the broken city wall in front, the thin man stopped and started shouting at the top of his lungs.
In the sky, the wind and snow were blowing, and the dim yellow city in front was quiet, without any reaction.
The thin man stared, carefully took two steps back, then looked back, only to see the patriarch glaring at him!
"You coward, can't you come closer? Who can hear you from so far away!"
The patriarch yelled angrily from behind, and the features on the thin man's face almost wrinkled together: Good guys, you are watching the fun from behind, let me get closer? If they shoot me an arrow, it won’t be you who will be hurt!
However, despite all the reluctance in his heart, due to the majesty of the clan leader, the thin man moved forward half an arrow, and tremblingly shouted out the original words.
"Hahaha, you want grandpa to surrender? Let your Khan come and say it in person!"
This time, there was finally a response! An extremely arrogant voice came from it, followed by a long arrow, like a rainbow piercing the sun, parting through the wind and snow, and shot directly into the thin man's hat! The man was so frightened that he almost lost control. He screamed and ran backwards, rolling and crawling!
"Hmph, you are so shameless when you are about to die!" Pu Gu saw this scene from behind, and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times. He was not only angry at the Tang people inside, but also at this spineless compatriot!
"Leader Pugu, what should we do now?" This time, the faces of the other leaders also darkened, and they wished they could directly order a strong attack, cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and capture the Tang people inside.
But the problem is, none of them dare to mention this suggestion first, for fear that if they do, others will take advantage of the situation and let them take the lead!
So at this time, several people were looking at Fu Gu, wanting him to speak first.
Pu Gu glanced at the people gathered around him and frowned. He understood the little thoughts of these people, and at the same time he silently mourned in his heart: This is a group of people who can only be driven by gains and losses and interests. At any time, they have their own interests. Xiao Jiujiu.
Of course, he knew that he was not qualified to find fault with others. He was not a saint either. The death of Qi Jin had something to do with him!
"The damage caused by a strong attack is too great, so before the snow falls heavily, we attack with fire to choke them out!"
After clearing up his mood and driving out the guilt he felt towards Qi Jin, Pu Gu spoke again and gave a sinister suggestion!
Fire attack!
This is not uncommon for the Tang people in the Central Plains, but for the Turks who are used to the way of fighting with cavalry coming and going like the wind, they really didn't expect that when they heard the mention of servant bones, the eyes of several leaders instantly lit up, and then they laughed loudly. Smile, as if you saw the Tang people being smoked out of their holes like mice on the grassland!
Since they are sure to pay attention, they will not be nagging.
There is a lack of trees on the grassland, but there is no lack of grass! Thousands of Turks went around and immediately found hills of grass!
Seeing countless weeds piled upwind, almost all the Turks laughed wantonly. They were bombed and burned along the way, and now they finally let the enemy have a taste of this!
"Light the fire now?"
Someone asked excitedly, but soon he got a kick on the butt! A veteran was angrily yelling: "Are you stupid? Lighting a fire here is of no use!"
