    Chapter 32 The Battle of Ulan (Part 2)

    The tens of thousands of Anxi soldiers who retreated to the city and the Tang army on the city looked at Sauri, the strong and powerful only son of Anxi sword and shield soldier and fire chief, facing the elite heavy-armored warriors of the Tang army. Sauri lowered his head and dodged.  The hammer struck by the Tang army in front of him grazed his ear. Sauri took advantage of the heavy-armored Tang army's inflexibility to get closer. He raised the iron rod in his hand and hit the outside of the Tang army's knee.  .

    There was a "click", accompanied by a scream. Although the Tang soldier also had armor on his legs, his knees were immediately broken when he was directly hit by a heavy weapon at such a close distance. He knelt down immediately, with long hands in his hands.  The iron hammer also flew out. Sauri shouted and rotated 360 degrees. The iron rod in his hand made a "wu" sound and hit the ear of the kneeling divine warrior.

    "Boom", as the god warrior tilted his head, the helmet took on a strange shape. The Tang soldier fell to the ground without saying a word, his limbs began to twitch in death, and the helmet was almost beaten into a tatter.  It was in the shape of an iron pot, and the head inside was probably severely deformed.

    After Sauri killed this divine warrior, the muscles on his arms stood tall, almost bursting the chain armor he was wearing. He shouted and fought with several divine warriors behind him, and then stepped back.  As soon as he retreated, the iron rod in his hand was directly swept towards the lower body of the several divine warriors who were leaning behind him. Sauri had already seen that the heavy armor on these divine warriors was very protective, and the weapons in their hands were very powerful, but  The disadvantage is that it is not flexible in movement, and it cannot form an effective battle formation to release lethality in this narrow place on the city.

    Sauri hit the bones of the two divine warriors in front of him, and the armor on their legs suddenly deformed. The two divine warriors screamed and fell to the ground before they could knock out the weapons in their hands. Sauri had no time to respond.  The two men exchanged a few blows, took a step back to avoid an iron rod and a yue, and immediately took advantage of the gap between the two men's weapons to retract their weapons. The iron rod in their hands was rounded for a moment, and the divine warrior on the left was immediately hit.  Hitting the shoulder, the heavy iron rod immediately shattered almost all the bones on his shoulder. The divine fighter immediately fell to the side, and ended up colliding into a pile with a divine fighter next to him. Both of them were  It became a rolling gourd.

    Sauri wounded three people and killed one in these few blows. With fierce ferocity in his chest, he roared wildly, put the iron rod in front and pounced in the direction outside the city wall. There were two divine warriors in that direction, holding long swords.  This kind of weapon is somewhat similar to a battle axe, but it has a long pole. To cause damage, distance is needed. The short distance on the city wall just makes it difficult for the two divine warriors to use it. They watched Sau Wu helplessly.  Li placed the iron rod across his chest and pounced fiercely. The two Tang soldiers could only stand forward with their axes in both hands.

    With a "cang" sound, Sauri's move was so powerful that the two divine warriors were knocked out of balance. Behind them was a battlement half a man high. A divine warrior just retreated between the two battlements.  From a low place, a long scream fell out. The tail end of the scream was still echoing in the air, and then there was a "bang". The heavy armor made this divine warrior extremely miserable when he landed, and his helmet was smashed.  He had to fly out, and he seemed to be dead.

    The soldiers on and off the city saw Sauri raise the iron rod in his hand, and then strike down. Even though he was wearing a helmet, the god Lei Ming who was hit on the battlement was struck on the head by Sauri.  It cracked like a rotten watermelon, with red and white splatters all over Sauri's face. Due to the excessive force, the two eyeballs of the divine fighter were squeezed out of their sockets by the huge pressure.  Such a tragic sight made the faces of the other divine warriors change color, and none of them dared to step forward to confront Sauri. Sauri turned around with blood-red eyes, the thick iron rod in his hand was mottled with flesh and blood, and a fierce aura hit his face.  Come.

    Li Zuoguo couldn't help but be very interested. There were such brave soldiers. All of them had withdrawn the city wall, and some of them fought to the death on the city to cover their comrades in the rear. Such soldiers were really rare. Li Zuoguo ordered him to tell Guo Bei.  , such a warrior should be protected as much as possible. If he jumps from the city, save him, which will greatly boost his morale."

    The Anxi Army under the city couldn't help cheering when they saw such a morale-boosting strategy, but they couldn't help but worry. After all, Sauri was alone. In a battle of this scale, no matter how powerful a person's power is, he would have to fight with all his strength in the end.  die.

    After Guo Bei received Li Zuoguo's order, he ordered someone to shout and ask the soldier who was still fighting to jump down from the city. He sent ten soldiers to respond. The Anxi soldiers who had not withdrawn far from the city all shouted.  Get up and jump, jump down, jump quickly.  "

    The city wall is not high, only eight meters, and there is land underneath. As long as you are not particularly unlucky, you can usually just get injured. However, everyone knows that Sauri's Chinese is very poor and he cannot understand what his comrades are shouting. Sauri feels that his vision is a bit blurry.  , it was the Tang Army's brain and blood that covered his eyes. Sauri took off his helmet, revealing a head of brown curly hair.?He was a barbarian, and he touched his face randomly, and it suddenly turned into a big painted face.

    Although the divine warriors in front of him were suppressed by his ferocity, they were still elites after all. They quickly formed a line of three under the shouts of the officers. An Anxi Army officer who was dressing up at the bottom of the city suddenly  Recognizing that the soldier who fought fiercely in the city was actually his fire chief Sauri, the team was retreating when it stood still.

    The captain's name is Zhang Yong. After standing still, he shouted to the city, "Sauri Assam, jump down from the city immediately." He used Da Shiyu.

    Sauri, who was full of murderous intent, suddenly heard this sound and immediately woke up. There was no one in the city. When he looked back, he saw that all the Anxi troops were retreating, and most of them had retreated beyond the range of the crossbows on the city.  , had fought several times with the three divine warriors in front of them, and the divine warrior Sauri, who was pressing like a wall, only slowed down their approach by attacking the lower plate.

    Tang Jun was not a fool either. The weapons of the three divine warriors came one after another, so Sauri was busy parrying and did not use the iron rod to attack the bottom plate. The space was also compressed very small. Sauri's hands were numb at this time.  , and did not want to fight to the death on the top of the city. The team had already ordered to jump over the city to retreat, and put aside the weapons fired by the two Tang troops. Sauri turned around and jumped out of the city. Under the city, the Anxi Army screamed  Zhongsauri jumped off the city wall.

    Guo Ziyi watched from a distance with blazing eyes as the brave Anxi Army jumped off the city wall, and shouted that the crossbowmen should come forward and shoot the soldier to death.  "

    As soon as Sauri landed on the ground, he rolled forward, and the world was spinning. The height of eight meters was no joke. Sauri only felt pain in his feet and body, and his face was also in burning pain from scratches. He saw  Several crossbowmen had already stretched out their bodies from several battlements on the city wall, aiming the crossbows in their hands. Sauri could not move, and he was screaming in his heart that he was unlucky. He would still die under the city. If not, would he be able to get the reward?  ?  Sauri only had this thought in his mind at this time, but on the contrary, there was no trace of fear.

    The movement of the crossbowman was like slow motion. Sauri clearly saw the crossbowman triggering the crossbow machine and the crossbow arrows were launched. At this time, his vision went dark. Sauri thought he was dead, but he immediately felt someone grabbing the back of his neck.  Armor, the body quickly retreated on the ground. At this moment, Sauri saw a shield in front of him. The sound of the crossbow hitting the shield was so clear. The armor on the back of the neck grabbed by two big hands would quickly  Dragging further away, Sauri opened his mouth and laughed silently, but he didn't die.

    The eyes of the Tang army on the city were filled with fire. Each crossbowman tried desperately to shoot to death the sword and shield soldiers below. Crossbow arrows shot down like raindrops. Guo Bei waved his hand, and the stone machine in the distance began to fire. The crossbow  They also began to shoot arrows at the city. At least twenty stone-shooting machines were aimed at the section where Sauri jumped into the city. A Tang Army crossbowman just leaned out and wanted to shoot at Sauri and his group below the city.  After shooting the crossbow in his hand, a huge stone hit his upper body.

    "Boom" made a loud noise, like a watermelon bursting on top of the city. The splash of flesh and blood drew a pattern on the city wall. The lower body of the crossbowman slumped into the city, followed by "Boom, boom, boom"  With repeated sounds, the boulder immediately interrupted the Tang army's retaliatory crossbow firing.

    Guo Ziyi sighed, looked at the figure of Li Zuoguo who was still stationed in the distance, and ordered to stop archery. The soldiers on the wall went down to the city to repair. Guo Ziyi thought in her heart: The Anxi Army is difficult to deal with. That's the end of the day.

    Amidst the cheers, ten of Guo Bei's soldiers took turns dragging Sauri back to a safe area. By the time they reached the military formation, Sauri was already able to leave. The Anxi Army burst into even louder cheers, and Guo Bei revealed his  Smiling, he watched the soldiers help Sauri to come to him.

    Guo Bei said, "You are very brave. What's your name?"  "

    Sauri was at a loss. He couldn't understand what Guo Bei was saying. There were many such situations among Guo Bei's infantry. He couldn't understand Chinese. Guo Bei smiled and waved, and a soldier walked up next to him.  , said a few words to Sauri in Turkic and Dashi language respectively. Sauri's eyes lit up when he heard Dashi language, and he nodded repeatedly.

    The soldier said: Our general asked your name, and you acted very bravely.  "

    The tall, thin man in bright armor in front of Sauri was a general. Although he had learned to identify his rank through armor when he was in the army, Sauri couldn't remember it. Secondly, it was the biggest person he had ever seen.  The general is the captain of the army. Sauri quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Guo Bei, saying that the Tang army in the city did not fight.  "

    After hesitating for a moment, Sauri said that several of my fellow villagers were killed in the battle. Can I report their results? We killed a total of eighteen Tang soldiers, and their rewards will be distributed to their families.  "

    When Guo Bei heard this, the smile on his face disappeared. Although it is inevitable to die in every war, Guo Bei's face disappeared in such a situation.As a general, I have seen it a lot. It often happens that one or two people in a team die at the end. Guo Bei nodded and said yes, a brave warrior like me will not lie. If the guard envoy wants to see you, you  Go and see the guardian envoy.  "

    Sauri kowtowed to Guo Bei a few times, stood up and followed the soldiers to the gate of the camp. Sauri suffered some injuries. A soldier led a horse and asked Sauri if he could  Riding, Sauri patted his chest and said it was no problem. When he arrived at the gate of the camp, Sauri got off his horse early and walked to the high platform.

    Li Zuoguo's tall figure is already in the audience. Sauri has heard of Li Zuoguo's deeds a lot. In the Western Regions, Li Zuoguo is a legend. Among all the countries in the Western Regions, Li Zuoguo is an invincible demon. He kills people without blinking an eye, but everyone admits that Li Zuoguo is the most brave.  A warrior, but in Anxi, Li Zuoguo is the patron saint of the people of Anxi. Every Anxi citizen is the most valued by Li Zuoguo. As long as soldiers from other countries kill a commoner of Anxi, Li Zuoguo will make them pay a heavy price.

    Sauri happened to have experienced these two comparisons. What the tribesmen admired and worshiped the most was their strength. In Sauri's eyes, Li Zuoguo was a man with god-like power. Sauri just saw Li Zuoguo's tall figure and walked away from him.  He knelt down and pressed his head tightly against the ground without daring to raise it, chanting in his mouth.

    Li Zuoguo asked the soldiers around him who knew the food language what he was reading?  "

    The soldier said that he was thinking, the invincible god, Sauri Assam, pays homage to him and bless me to grow up smoothly and become a strong warrior, and so on"

    Li Zuoguo laughed loudly. He was really talented. He was completely mythical. This soldier who obviously looked like a barbarian did not even have the courage to look up. Li Zuoguo said, come on, you are the bravest in today's battle. I want to reward you.  You said you want it?  "

    After listening to the translation, Sauri still didn't dare to raise his head. In his heart, Li Zuoguo was completely a god-like existence. In the eyes of the tribe, the four major tribes of Khorasan were incredibly powerful beings, and the four powerful tribes  But he was also afraid of the more powerful Dashi Empire, which was beaten so hard by this god-like man that he could not even raise his head. Even the Khorasan region was lost. Sauri did not dare to look at such a man.

    Li Zuoguo just buried his head and said what he just said to Guo Bei. After hearing this, Li Zuoguo nodded and said, "You are very sorry. You are fighting for what you deserve for your comrades." And there was no mention of it, "You want it?"  "

    Sauri said that I am thirteen years old and I hope that I can join the army and fight for the garrison. My weapons were lost in the city. Can you give me another set?  " Sauri was a little embarrassed when he said this, for fear of being scolded.

    Li Zuoguo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "Okay, I will give you a good set, and you can join the army when you become an adult."  "

    Sauri added tremblingly that the weapon issued was too light. Can a heavier weapon be issued?  "

    Li Zuoguo said that it is specially made for you, and you will be my personal soldier from now on.  "

    Even if Sauri is honest, it is not a concept to join Li Zuoguo's personal army. The captain has said more than once the benefits of joining Li Zuoguo's personal army. Not only the weapons and equipment are the best in Anxi, but also the ordinary captain.  Everyone must be respectful when meeting them. It feels like a general. What's more, if he can be released to lead troops, the minimum is a general who can lead three hundred troops. It is like reaching the sky in one step. Sauri trembled all over.  I was so excited that I could only express my feelings by kowtowing repeatedly.

    Li Zuoguo said that this would be it for today. He would count the casualties and hold a meeting in the camp. Such a war would still have to be fought.  "At the same time, he said to the translator's soldier that you should take him to see his injuries, equip him with weapons, and add him to your team." After saying that, Li Zuoguo was ready to mount his horse and leave.

    Sauri suddenly remembered something at this time. When he saw Li Zuoguo leaving, he quickly said to the guardian: "I saw on the city that all the soldiers in the city were using wooden frames to send troops up the city wall. The protection of the armor below of their heavy armored soldiers was not very good."  .  "

    Li Zuoguo said "Oh", got on the horse and said, this is very useful information, do it well, drive." Li Zuoguo urged the horse to leave, and the soldiers on the left and right quickly followed. Sauri was still kneeling on the ground until Li Zuoguo entered.  Even after arriving at the camp, Guo Bei also reorganized his army, and the Anxi Army entered the camp in an orderly manner.

    The soldier who knew the Dashi dialect was named Sheng He. He was originally the son of a businessman. He had stayed in Dashi for ten years and could speak Dashi dialect fluently. His father originally sent him away because he was exempt from tax for doing business.  When he entered the army, he was the third son in the family. Unexpectedly, he was very suitable for being a soldier. Not only was he excellent in many training items, but he also became the fire chief of Li Zuoguo's soldiers because he spoke fluently.

    Sheng He walked up to Sauri, who was still kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, and said, "Big man, now you have reached the sky in one step, let me change my clothes and get hurt."  "Sauri thisThen he raised his head and followed Sheng He to the soldiers' camp.

    In this battle, the Tang army suffered 1,100 casualties and 1,000 wounded. The Anxi army suffered 500 casualties, which were basically lost in the battle on the city. The Tang army suffered more damage than the attackers due to the superior long-range attack of the Anxi army.  The Anxi Army in the city.

    In the next half month, as the breath of spring became stronger and stronger, the temperature gradually increased. Li Zuoguo's Anxi Army launched seven or eight attacks, large and small. Each time, they set up their postures openly and fired crossbows.  The machine was suppressed, and then the same sword and shield soldiers entered the city to fight. Li Zuoguo's infantry and auxiliary soldiers basically went up to the city and walked around. The task of the cavalry was to suppress the cavalry of the Tang army so that they did not dare to come out.  Battalion decisive battle.

    Every time the Tang army defends the city, the casualties are greater than the casualties of Li Zuoguo's Anxi army. Guo Ziyi and Li Zuoguo are now using soft knives to cut their flesh to consume. They originally wanted to consume Li Zuoguo, but now it is completely the opposite. If Guo Ziyi's Tang army is defeated in this way, they will be destroyed.  Li Zuoguo was exhausted and collapsed. Now the Shenlei soldiers have become a decisive force in these sieges, but only ten thousand in number cannot consume the Anxi army.

    When the stone machine of the Anxi Army launched another boulder onto the city wall to cover the army's retreat, Guo Ziyi looked at the Tang Army who were dead and wounded on the city. The anxiety in the Tang Army's eyes made Guo Ziyi think deeply. Basically, all the troops in his hands had already climbed up the city wall.  Once again, there have been 20,000 casualties. If this continues for another month, it is estimated that they will not have the strength and courage to fight Li Zuoguo decisively, but it is even more unwise to go out of the city for a decisive battle now.

    Guo Ziyi lowered his head, with perseverance in his eyes. That was all. Guo Ziyi called a soldier and ordered to inform General Li Guangbi. I agreed to his proposal and told him to take action immediately. The decisive battle will be in ten days.  "
