    The brief joke greatly relieved the mental pressure in the hearts of the garrison at Xiaoguan Pass at this time, ensuring that they could perfectly display their own skills. At the same time, it also further provoked the Turks and aroused their anger.

    "Archers prepare, mount the rocket, throw it with all your strength from seventy steps away, target the enemy's ladders and flying ladders!"

    "Archers prepare, mount the rocket, throw it with all your strength from seventy steps away, target the enemy's ladders and flying ladders!"

    "Archers prepare, mount the rocket, throw it with all your strength from seventy steps away, target the enemy's ladders and flying ladders!"

    "Archers prepare, mount the rocket, throw it with all your strength from seventy steps away, target the enemy's ladders and flying ladders!"

    With Qin Liyan's on-the-spot command, his order was quickly passed down from the ordering troops to various ministries.

    The archers who received the military order from Qin Liyan naturally disobeyed the military order. After the order, they all took out the rockets that had been prepared for a long time and prepared to light them. After preparing the auxiliary matters for shooting at any time, they waited for Qin Liyan's command.  Military order.

    At this time, Qin Liyan, who was standing on the Xiaoguan city wall and paying attention to the movements of the Turks outside the pass, was silently calculating the distance between the Turkic army and the Xiaoguan city wall: two hundred steps, one hundred fifty steps, one hundred and twenty steps,  One hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty-five steps.

    The more Qin Liyan calculated, the more nervous he became. The enemy was about to enter the shooting range, and even his breathing became rapid, not to mention nervous. He could hear its breathing, which was like a cow's croaking, and he knew that at this time  I feel stressed.

    With such a performance, it goes without saying that the palms of his clenched fists were completely soaked with sweat.

    Of course, Qin Liyan, as the victim, was not aware of his external performance at this time. To be precise, he was already fully engaged in the tense preparations before the war.  Can't attract his attention anymore!

    "Eighty steps, seventy-nine steps, seventy-eight steps, seventy-seven steps, seventy-six steps, seventy-five steps, seventy-four steps, seventy-three steps, seventy-two steps, seventy-one steps,  Seventy steps, sixty-nine steps, sixty-eight steps, sixty-seven steps, sixty-five steps!¡±

    After Qin Liyan silently counted sixty-five steps in his heart, his eyes, which had been clenched with fists just now, suddenly returned to him, and his face was radiant, and his eyes were bright.  God stared at the approaching Turkic siege troops, and drew his right hand out of his waist.  Then he raised it high and pointed to the Turkic army in front:

    "The archers listen to the order and light the rockets. Target the Turkic ladders and flying ladders 70 steps away, fire a volley! Launch!"

    The order that the archers had been waiting for for a long time finally came from Qin Liyan. This made them, who were already sitting on pincushions, immediately ignite the rockets in their hands and shoot towards the flying ladder carried by the Turks 70 steps away.  .  The pushed ladder shot away.

    Of course, although Qin Liyan's voice was loud, the actual propagation distance on this several-mile-long battle line was not that far. The reason why his order could be heard by all the archers after it was issued  .  and executed synchronously.

    That's because Qin Liyan was standing on the city wall in front of the city tower. Following his order, the flag bearer standing on the city tower began to wave the flag in his hand and signal the flag. At the same time, the bell on the side also rang.  For a moment.

    In addition to these two kinds of dissemination of information, there are also dozens of messengers, distributed on a front that is several miles long.  There is one like this every once in a while.  As soon as Qin Liyan's order was spoken, it began to spread through the messenger closest to him.

    "The archers listened to the order, lit the rockets, and aimed at the Turkic ladders and flying ladders 70 steps away. Fire a volley! Launch!"

    "The archers obey the order. Light the rockets and target the Turkic ladders and flying ladders seventy steps away. Salvo! Launch!"

    "The archers listen to the order and light the rockets. Target the Turkic ladders and flying ladders 70 steps away, fire a volley! Launch!"

    "The archers listened to the order, lit the rockets, and aimed at the Turkic ladders and flying ladders 70 steps away. Fire a volley! Launch!"

    All of a sudden, Qin Liyan's military order spread at a very fast speed on the city wall of Xiaoguan. In less than ten breaths, the archers stationed on the wall of Xiaoguan lit their weapons one after another.  The rocket shot out.

    Suddenly, like thousands of pear blossoms blooming in the sky, from above Xiao Pass, there were more than three thousand rockets, flying like flying fireballs towards the siege weapons in the hands of the Turks, as if they were launching a long-distance attack.  Like a meteor shower, it is indescribably spectacular.

    The Turks were a little surprised and frightened when faced with the sudden rocket. After all, although they were worried that the Tang Dynasty defenders above Xiaoguan would attack before they got close to the Xiaoguan city wall.They still understand the necessary military principle of shooting a large number of arrows.

    But what they didn't expect was that for the first time, the Xiaoguan above shot not only ordinary arrows, but rocket arrows with flammable materials. This was something they had not thought of in advance, so they were attracted by this sudden appearance.  The rocket dropped one.

    But even though there were some slight surprises and panic, due to the preparation in advance, some people also issued a death order to them before setting off for the expedition, and they were spared the punishment for unfavorable attacks. Of course, they were hit with a stick and given a mouthful of sweet dates.  As a pioneer general of the Turks, anyone who has experienced many battles and sat in this position will not understand.

    Therefore, these Turkic soldiers, driven by the dual force of guillotine and money, still did not panic too much. They moved steadily and orderly towards the Xiaoguan city wall with long strides. They were not hasty or slow, and they looked so confident.  Full.

    However, although the Turks showed that they were so confident and were not frightened by the rockets, they were still a little panicked and frightened when the rockets actually fell on them, as well as on the ladders and flying ladders.

    After all, these are more than 3,000 rockets. Once a person is hit, he will be seriously injured even if he does not die. The chance of minor injury is very slim. After all, the troops currently used by the Turks to attack the city are all made up of nomadic cavalry from the Turkic tribes.  Dismounted infantry.

    The nomadic cavalry pursues speed and flexibility, so these people are all light cavalry and light infantry wearing light armor. They shoot flaming sharp arrows at the Tang army, which does not provide much protection at all.  .

    Of course, even if the Turks want to raise so many heavy cavalry, they cannot afford it, not to mention other things, just this armor.  The Tang Dynasty would not sell it to them, not to mention the Turks' current economic strength and their lifestyle of nomadic defense.  This armored heavy cavalry is not very practical at all, and it cannot afford such a huge expense!

    Facing death, people don¡¯t panic.  That is simply impossible, except for the eternal famous saying of Cao Mengde, the great tycoon who has been handed down from generation to generation, "I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me".  It can be seen that people's mentality is to put themselves first, so in the face of life danger, everyone still puts their own lives first.

    Although everyone had already been warned not to shake the morale of the army, and those who escaped before the battle were killed, they still had to move forward because those soldiers dodged the rockets fired from Xiaoguan.  There was a certain amount of chaos.

    Shang Mou Xiujie saw that the former army was a little confused.  Facing the law enforcement team beside him, he waved his hand and knew what Shang Mou Xiujie meant.

    After seeing Shang Mou Xiujie's gesture, the members of the law enforcement team beside Shang Mou Xiujie immediately unsheathed their swords with a "Clang!"  They had already pulled out all the swords in their hands and rushed forward.

    There are only a few of them who only have a few dozen breaths of time.  But they are all members of the law enforcement team who are very strong and fierce.  He had already rushed to the center of the chaos, and slashed at the Turkic warrior who had done something to shake the morale of the army.

    This extremely ferocious knife directly split the target in half, leaving no chance of survival. At the same time, they shouted:

    "The general has an order. If you are passive and slack in your work, you will die; if you do not follow the lead before the battle, you will die; if you waver in the morale of the army, you will die; if you run away from the battle, you will die; if you kill one enemy, you will be rewarded one tael; if you kill ten enemies, you will be rewarded one tael; if you kill the leader of the army, you will be rewarded one tael.  The reward is one tael for killing an elder; the reward for killing an elder is ten taels; the officer for killing the leader of the group will be promoted to one level; the officer for killing the leader of the team will be promoted to two levels; the officer for killing the enemy's brigade commander will be promoted to three levels; the officer for killing the enemy's captain will be promoted to three levels.  If you kill an enemy guard, you will be rewarded with the title of captain of a thousand;

    The first person to climb Xiao Pass will be rewarded with a rank of 100 or less. Those below the rank of 1,000 captain will be directly promoted to the rank of 100. Those above the rank of 1,000 captain will be given an additional rank. At the same time, the first to attack will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, a hundred oxen and sheep, and ten slaves.  People, five beauties, a pair of precious armors, and a BMW!

    Whoever captures alive the enemy general Zhang Yang, Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty, will receive a reward of a thousand taels, a hundred bolts of silk, and a ten-level land. He will be worshiped as a captain of thousands, and will be given a thousand cattle and sheep, a hundred domestic slaves, ten beauties, and a palace in the royal city!  "

    "The general has an order.

    There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and with this strict punishment, the chaos that just appeared disappeared immediately.

    This made Shang Mou Xiujie, who had just issued this order, feel happy. It seemed that his army was now under control, and there would be no possibility of chaos before huge casualties occurred.

    At the same time, Shang Mou Xiujie also heard the same shouts coming from his right, which made him unconsciously look to his right. Sure enough, the scene on his right was the same as his, on the advancing battlefield.  There were dozens of flying ladders burning with raging fire lying on the ground. Of course, there were also several flaming arrows stuck on more flying ladders.

    But because of the rocket's own combustion power and because these flying ladders were built.  They are collected from fresh trees and have not been dried before being made. Although this type of ladder has more plantings than a normal ladder, it is not so easy to catch fire.

    As for the ladder.  Not to mention, in order to prevent the Xiaoguan garrison from burning down the ladder that was finally built, the entire ladder was set on fire, although there was not enough time to handle it carefully.  But it is easy to splash water and make it wet. As we all know, wet wood is not easy to burn.

    Because of Qin Liyan's order, the Tang army directed its main rockets at flying ladders and ladders. This caused most of the rockets to be fired into the ladders and ladders, and only a handful of people were hit.  The entire battlefield.  When facing the first wave of more than 3,000 rockets fired by Datang, about two to three hundred people were hit by arrows, but those who were hit by the rockets lost their combat effectiveness.

    It was precisely because most of the rockets hit the ladders and flying ladders that it was easy for them to find and suppress the chaotic elements in the army that were in chaos just now. If a large number of people really died.  Using such drastic measures, let alone winning Xiao Guan.  Maybe they had already triggered a riot in the army before they suppressed the chaos.

    but.  If you want to get a big reward, you have to have famous flowers. Not only did the Turkic army advance in a hurry just now, in order to get out of the shooting range of the archers early, they struck with arrows to prevent themselves from dying before they could get the big reward.  Mourning the underworld.

    Due to such a delay, the archers among the Tang garrison above Xiao Pass had already prepared the second rocket, and immediately there were more than three thousand flying fire meteors, dragging a long  The flame tail flew out.

    The Turkic warriors, who had just been shocked by the iron-blooded methods of the law enforcement team, were faced with the threat of rockets and butcher knives. To move forward was to gain fame, make contributions, get promoted and make a fortune. Under the temptation of golden beauties, they naturally knew what they should choose.  .

    Facing more than 3,000 flying fire meteors flying in the sky, the Turkic warriors who had just made up their mind accelerated their marching speed. Each of them sprinted towards the Xiaoguan City Wall at a sprint speed of 100 meters.  .

    Of course, this is really a 100-meter sprint. After all, the team at the front only takes more than 60 steps from Xiaoguan. Calculated by one step per meter, it is only more than 60 meters. Under the threat of life,  How can we neglect it!

    The distance of a few dozen white steps is only ten breaths of effort for an adult warrior wearing light armor. Even if they resist flying ladders and cloud ladders, it only takes a little more effort.  , it only took more than ten breaths, and the fastest flying ladder had already arrived next to Xiaoguan, ready to stand up and attack the city.

    Just as the flying ladders that were the first to arrive at Xiaoguan City were preparing to be erected to attack the city, many Turkic warriors carrying flying ladders rushed to the Xiaoguan City Wall as fast as they could.  feet.

    At this time, the second wave of rockets fired from Xiaoguan had just passed, which made those who ran fast heaved a sigh of relief.gas.

    But in fact, this wave of rockets did not cause much damage to the Turkic warriors carrying the ladder.

    Because this flying ladder has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, is light in weight, small in size, and flexible to use, when carried by twenty people, it cannot slow down the person carrying him much at all, and the impact is not big.

    The aerial ladder is different. Although the aerial ladder is incomparable to a horse in terms of siege effect, although the two are also made of wood, the aerial ladder is larger and uses more wood, so it is naturally  It is relatively heavy, not to mention that in order to set fire, all the wood of this ladder was soaked by water.

    It will naturally be heavier and move much slower.

    This is great. After losing the target of the flying ladder, the slow-moving ladder naturally became the main target. Fortunately, the wooden ladders used to build the ladder were soaked by water, although each ladder was shot.  It was full of rockets, ranging from one to two hundred to dozens, but in this round of attack, less than ten ladders were actually burned by the rockets, so the losses were not heavy.

    But the Turkic soldiers who were transporting the ladder suffered a disaster. All the rockets that missed the ladder fell on them.

    Immediately, hundreds of flaming men with rockets in their bodies were created next to the ladder. With the flaming ladder burning fiercely, there was a smell of barbecue. In the short ten steps between fifty and sixty steps away from the Xiaoguan city wall.  Floating in the distance.

    Looking at the burning Turkic soldiers with rockets in their bodies, Zhang Yang believed that those Turkic soldiers who smelled the aroma of barbecue would definitely never want to eat roasted mutton again for a long time, or even smell it.  Will feel like vomiting.

    ¡°The archer retreats, switches to ordinary arrows, shoots freely, and stops after shooting a barrel of arrows;

    The heavy infantry stepped forward to prevent the enemy from coming up through cloud ladders and flying ladders. Pu Daobing assisted the heavy infantry on the side, and at the same time threw huge rocks and logs under the city wall!  "
