    ? Chapter 6: The Tang Dynasty (Part 9)

    ¡®Could it be that these people are the Hammer King¡¯s subordinates?  !  ¡¯ Seeing the quick reaction of Tang Jun outside the door, Captain Zhou muttered to himself.  'But the old eunuch just said that the Hammer King hates people taking advantage of others, but their military discipline is not much better than mine' Lest he delay his 'surrender', he turned around and tied Bian Lingcheng into a rice dumpling.  Drag him over, press him against the crack of the door, and ask in a very low voice: "Is there an Anxi Army outside? Tell me the truth! If you dare to deceive me again, I will chop off your arms and thighs and let you live."  It hurts to death!¡±

    "Woo, woo, woo¡ª¡ª" Bian Lingcheng's mouth was blocked and he whined in pain.  The captain surnamed Zhou quickly pulled it away from the seam of the door and used the tip of the knife to pick out the rag that was stuck in his mouth. "Don't make a loud noise, otherwise, I will cut you directly!"

    Bian Lingcheng believed that this kind of desperado could definitely keep his word and did not dare to play any more tricks. He took a few big breaths and responded in a low voice: "No, don't block my mouth again. I won't shout, and I promise not to  Shout. The people outside the door are definitely not the Anxi Army, and their clothes are different from those of the Anxi Army"

    "Then whose subordinates are they" Captain Zhou looked out from the crack in the door again and continued to investigate.

    "No, I didn't see clearly" Bian Lingcheng lowered his voice and answered cautiously.  I am afraid that if I say something wrong, I will suffer more.

    "Damn it!" Captain Zhou yelled angrily, grabbed Bian Lingcheng, and pushed his head against the crack of the door again.  Bian Lingcheng struggled slightly, found a more comfortable position, and identified it carefully.

    The war was about to begin, and the Tang army outside did not even notice that there were people hiding in the temple.  The torch in Tang Jun's hand clearly illuminated their own attire.  Bian Lingcheng squinted his eyes and observed carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he became: "It seems like, it seems like the emperor's personal guard? Why did the emperor send his personal soldiers here?! Help"

    Before he could even utter his cry for help, Captain Zhou had his mouth sealed again with a rag.  Immediately afterwards, a horizontal knife swept across quickly and removed half of his arm.

    "Woo" Bian Lingcheng groaned and passed out.  The captain surnamed Zhou brandished a bloody sword and shouted in a low voice, "Block the door and don't let anyone in! Those outside are not the Anxi Army. If we fall into their hands, we won't get any good results!"

    Without his mobilization, the defeated troops knew not to fall into the hands of the Tang army outside.  The previous performance of the Tang army had deeply imprinted the word cruelty into the bones of everyone.  The Tang army, which was preparing for battle outside, also heard the unusual noise inside the temple and wanted to break in, but it was already too late.  On the street facing them, hundreds of horses galloped towards them, trampling any living thing that could not escape into dust.

    "Form up, form up. Level your spears, level your spears. Archers, diffuse!" The enemy was in charge, so the soldiers of the Tang Army had to focus on the front first.  Under the command of a general, a defensive array was formed.  The spearmen rushed forward, and the archers trailed behind, preparing to give the enemy a head-on blow.

    The enemy troops on the opposite side were also desperate and didn't care about the shining spears.  While waving the horizontal sword to block the arrows shooting from the sky, he beat the horse's back desperately.  Some people were hit by feather arrows and fell off their horses on the way, and were immediately trampled to pieces by their own troops.  The entire team, like a crazy beast, continued to move forward, even though its body was covered with arrows, there was no pause.

    Facing the approaching spear tip, many war horses had deep fear in their eyes.  But they couldn't stop on their own initiative. The threat from behind was far greater than the one in front.  They can't dodge to either side. No matter how wide the streets in Chang'an City are, they have limits.  The high walls made of green bricks on both sides of the street prevented the dense horse teams from moving forward in a straight line.

    The dozen riders rushing at the front had their breastplates crumbling like hedgehogs.  However, they managed to hold themselves back from falling off the saddle, using their last strength to beat and beat with their legs.  The poor horse was so painfully stabbed by the spurs that it roared loudly and rushed towards the spear on the opposite side. Together with its owner, it was stabbed into a sieve on the spot.  The corpses of men and horses continued to rush forward by using inertia, and penetrated half a foot into the Tang army's ranks, breaking the muscles and bones of those who blocked the road.

    No one of the cavalry at the forefront was spared, and all died.  The jungle composed of spears also cracked instantly under the heavy pressure.  The cavalry behind took advantage of the moment when the gun forest had no time to close, and rushed in.  The sword was swung horizontally, and the horse's hooves were trampled in all directions, plowing out a large bloody hole deep in the Tang army's formation!

    "Anyone who stands in my way will die!" the cavalrymen of the Yan Kingdom shouted sternly, waving their horizontal swords.  His face was as hideous as a demon crawling out of hell.

    "Kill them all, kill them all!" The infantry of the Tang Dynasty roared loudly, waving their spears and short blades.  His body is as agile as the ghost in Senluo Palace.

    Both sides tried their best to kill each other as quickly as possible.  Thousands of people in more than two hundredThe fighting on opposite sides of the street was so brutal that it was unbearable to look at.  A cavalryman was pulled off his horse and cut into pieces with swords.  Immediately afterwards, two war horses came together and knocked the Tang army's infantry to the ground.  The next moment, several spears came from all directions, stabbing the war horse and its owner into pieces.  Then there was a shower of arrows, which came from unknown sources, hitting the enemy and us who were fighting in front of the main entrance of the temple, and shot the hedgehogs in the range.

    The captain surnamed Zhou retracted his body into the doorway to avoid suffering from the fish pond.  In less than half a stick of incense, the ground on the side of the temple near the street was already filled with arrows.  The defeated soldiers under his command also pressed their bodies tightly against the wall to prevent stray arrows from accidentally hurting them.  However, sometimes the foot of the wall is not an absolutely safe place. Several weapons that have lost their owners fall from the sky and smash the heads of those hiding under the wall.

    No one dares to moan, no one dares to complain.  Compared with the two elite groups fighting outside the temple, Captain Zhou and his temporary subordinates could only be regarded as a group of peasants.  If any outside party is regarded as an enemy, they will be killed without even half a stick of incense.  There was no room to fight back, let alone the courage to fight back.

    Through the narrow crack in the door, Captain Zhou could clearly see the performance of both sides fighting outside.  He was very lucky that the group of cavalry arrived in time and allowed him to escape a life-or-death disaster.  However, he did not dare to feel any gratitude to the cavalry, let alone let the other party discover his existence.  No one can guarantee that after killing the infantry of the Tang Dynasty, what will be the next target of the cavalry?  Will he rush into the temple and force the people inside to fight again?

    Unable to withstand the repeated impacts of the war horses, the Tang Army's infantry array disintegrated little by little.  The narrow streets limited the retreat of the infantry, and they could only fight and walk along the walls.  The red-eyed cavalrymen pursued them closely.  Use the horizontal knife to cut off the opponent's neck, use the war horse to crush the opponent's spine, and use the long spear to pierce the opponent's body.  He vented the fear and despair in his heart in endless killings, laughing fiercely.

    ¡°Ahhhhhh¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡± ¡°Hahahahaha¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    "Come on, come on! Keep blocking!" "Block my way, block my way!" "Kill all of you, kill all of you!" The red-eyed cavalry of Dayan Kingdom cried and laughed, as if  Crazy tiger.  The defeated Tang Army infantry fled in confusion and plunged into the alleys on the roadside, never daring to look back.

    Before the crazy crying and laughter stopped, not far away, there was another low sound of drawing horns, "Woo¡ª¡ªWoo¡ª¡ªWoo¡ª¡ª" followed by the ground began to tremble,  From slow to fast, a little bit of acceleration and trembling.  The sky began to shake, from slow to quick, and then accelerated inch by inch.  Soon, the ground beneath our feet and the sky above us coordinated to the same rhythm, trembling, swaying, swaying, trembling, and solidifying into the same amplitude.  The thunderous sound came from the street not far away, sticking to the ground and the base of the blue brick wall, sending fear into everyone's ears.

    "This is the Anxi Army!" Bian Lingcheng was awakened from his coma by the sound of thunder, opened his mouth, and sneered loudly.  "This is the Anxi Army, the Mo Dao Team of the Anxi Army. You kill me quickly, otherwise, as long as I have one breath left, I will definitely expose the things you and others took advantage of just now in the ears of the Hammer King"

    ¡°These few words, he used all his strength.  But inside and outside the walls, no one heard.  Even if he heard it, he had no time to pay attention.  The team that turned around at the street entrance was so powerful that it attracted everyone's attention to them as soon as they appeared.  Compared with them, the two teams that had just fought in a bloody battle were like two groups of children fighting in a group, and it was impossible to be on the same level.

    "Kill me, kill me, kill me quickly. I can't fall into Wang Mingyun's hands and I can't see the Anxi Army!" Bian Lingcheng grabbed the ground with his head and prayed loudly.  "Come on, Bian Lingcheng is here. Come quickly and get my head. If you take my head, you will definitely be able to live in exchange for it!"

    Still no one was willing to pay attention to him. All eyes inside and outside the temple were focused on the new team.  I saw those people, all wearing an iron helmet, and the visor was pulled from the bridge of the nose to the neck, only a pair of eyes were exposed.  Neck protectors, shoulder protectors, chest protectors, and breast protectors are all made of fine steel and polished to a bright finish.  Even if it was covered in blood, it couldn't hide the coldness of the steel.

    After the large piece of armor, there is a fish scale armor made of fine steel sheets and hard cowhide, with iron wires on the edges to protect it from any bows and arrows.  The heavy fish scale armor covers all the vital parts of the body from the shoulders to the calves.  At the hem of the fish scale armor is a pair of iron-clad combat boots, crushing any obstacles along the way.

    A whole suit of armor weighs more than thirty kilograms in total.  Looking up, every soldier looks like a moving steel fortress.  However, the greatest pressure does not come from the armor, but from their hands.  It was a long knife made of fine steel, with a blade seven feet long and a handle five feet three inches long.With one strike, both the man and the horse were cut into two pieces!
