    Chapter 31 Battle of Ulan (Part 2)

    The dense rain of arrows rained down without stopping for a moment. Not one Anxi Army soldier was shot and fell to the ground, but these people were only a few, many were only injured, and few died directly. This is completely insignificant for 30,000 people.  Yes, countless wooden plank bridges were built over the ravine. The stone machine in the distance had stopped firing. After all, the accuracy of the stone machine was still limited. When the soldiers approached the city wall, they could not fire to avoid accidental injury.

    The auxiliary soldiers behind carried the ladder high above their heads, quickly passed through three trenches dug by the Tang army, and after approaching the city wall, they struggled to push the ladder against the city wall, then held it down firmly, and then followed.  The sword and shield soldiers rushed up the ladder and climbed up the city wall without any pause.

    The Tang army on the city immediately poured the defensive items such as braziers, stone gold juice, etc. down to the city like raindrops. The city suddenly burst into screams. The number of people injured by the Anxi army under the city exceeded the total number of casualties during the crossbow shooting, and everything was scorched.  The smell rose up. It was the smell of the skin and flesh of the Anxi Army soldiers who had been scalded to death by gold juice and boiling oil. It smelled disgusting. The Anxi Army soldiers who were blinded by the burns screamed and ran around wildly. Many of them were  Falling into the deep ditch outside the city, an Anxi army had no chance to rush to the top of the city.

    Standing outside the crossbow range outside the city, Guo Bei was covered in armor. He held a huge shield in his left hand and a steel gun in his right hand instead of a horizontal sword. Seeing that the siege attack was frustrated, he kept calm and used the steel gun in his right hand to attack the city.  In the first move, behind him were two thousand crossbowmen holding giant crossbows, and they immediately marched towards the city with neat steps.

    The crossbowmen have already entered the range of the crossbows on the city. If Guo Bei were to shoot the crossbows in situ, the suppression effect would not be obvious because they were shooting upwards. He had to get closer and shoot accurately on the city, so as to effectively cover the city below.  The attacking troops must go to the city, otherwise piling up under the city will only increase casualties.

    The crossbowmen on the city also noticed the approaching Anxi crossbowmen, and the arrows they fired extended towards the crossbowmen. The Anxi crossbowmen wore iron helmets with wide brim, and in their hands were huge giant crossbows, shooting from above their heads.  The arrows shot from above can be blocked by the iron helmet just by lowering the head slightly. The plate-style breastplate on the chest is also excellent at shooting arrows. There are almost no casualties when approaching the city wall. When it reaches the outermost ravine,  All the crossbowmen stopped. At this time, the image of the busy Tang Army soldiers on the city wall was very clear.

    Guo Bei gave an order, and the Anxi crossbowmen began to suppress the Tang army in the city with precise crossbow arrows. A soldier of the Tang army had just picked up a basin of boiling oil and was about to pour it down the city. Suddenly he fell backward and fell to the ground, spilling all the boiling oil in his hand.  On his body, there was a "chichi" sound, and a smell of meat wafted up, but the Tang soldier had no reaction. The comrades on both sides took a closer look, and it turned out that a crossbow arrow had been shot from the Tang soldier's left eye.  , the huge force caused the crossbow arrow to pierce through the back of his head, and even the helmet was pierced with a hole. This shows the great power. The Tang soldier had already lost his life when he was shot, so the boiling oil was poured all over him.  no response.

    There were sudden screams from the city wall of the Tang Army. The Tang Army who leaned out to attack the Anxi soldiers below the city were shot with crossbow arrows and suffered heavy losses immediately. The giant crossbows of the Anxi Army would be penetrated even if they were wearing heavy armor at such a distance, and the city  As soon as the resistance above was suppressed, the Anxi saber and shield soldiers below the city immediately relaxed their pressure and climbed up the ladder.

    The one or two mile city wall was full of Anxi army sword and shield soldiers climbing up. When the first sword and shield soldier climbed up the city wall and started fighting with the Tang army, the soldiers of the Anxi army watching from a distance couldn't help it.  With a cheer, more and more Anxi soldiers came to the city. It seemed that Guo Bei could take the city head with this trial attack.

    Li Zuoguo couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw this situation on the platform in the distance. Is the Tang army's city defense just that powerful?  However, as the general Li Zuoguo still had to be prepared, he immediately ordered another 30,000 infantry troops and 30,000 auxiliary troops from the camp to prepare for the attack. If he could gain a foothold at the top of the city, Li Zuoguo would not mind taking down the city wall with one attack.

    Guo Ziyi looked at the Anxi sword and shield soldiers who had already attacked the city, and his face was extremely ugly. Although Ulan was not a big city, the city defense was still poor in Guo Ziyi's opinion. He did not expect that the Anxi army was so elite, and the soldiers were sharp and their morale was high.  It only took one attack to rush to the top of the city. It was obvious that many of the sword and shield soldiers who rushed to the top of the city, Guo Ziyi, were not from China. They had deep eyes and tall noses. The Tang soldiers on the city were at a disadvantage when they resisted.

    The city wall of Ulan is relatively narrow, and people standing three rows will feel a little unable to move. Seeing this situation, Guo Ziyi sighed helplessly, and ordered the drum to send a message, and let the divine soldiers go up the wall. The sword and shield soldiers then moved Anxi  The army rushed down the city wall, but the bowmen and crossbowmen did not stop. They all descended the city wall and fired out of the city wall.  "

    Countless armored soldiers came out of the military camp near the city wall, holding relatively heavy weapons in their hands, such as iron rods, long-stemmed copper hammers, etc. This is Guo ZiyiThe elite tent soldiers under his command, a total of only 10,000 divine soldiers, specialize in using heavy weapons to deal with sword and shield soldiers. Behind them are groups of sword and shield soldiers.

    Numerous wooden shelves in Ulan City were built into simple stairs, which allowed the soldiers below the city to quickly go up to the city, forming channels for transporting troops to the city wall. The divine soldiers followed these channels and rushed towards the city wall with great force.  , and it turned out that the soldiers on the city began to walk down the city along the evacuation passage, and there was no impact on each other. There were also some sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers on the city, and they were already fighting with the Anxi sword and shield soldiers who had climbed onto the city.

    Guo Ziyi knew that it was absolutely unwise to really open up a battle array and fight Li Zuoguo in the wild. Not to mention that Li Zuoguo's Anxi army was already powerful in combat and the cavalry was even more elite. Even if they could win, the Tang army soldiers in their hands would probably suffer heavy losses, so  Guo Ziyi's plan was to use the numerical advantage to consume the Anxi Army. However, the morale shown by the Anxi Army's first attack on the city, the sophistication of the weapons and armor, the power of the stone machine, and even the crossbow arrows all prevailed.  After consuming too many Anxi soldiers under the city wall, they were attacked on top of the city. Guo Ziyi already felt that this battle was definitely not easy.

    Sauri Asammai is a Taur man and a tribal warrior in the Khorasan region. Since the Khorasan region was merged into the territory of Anxi, tribal warriors like Sauli Asammai who have only one strength have asked for help.  To live a good life, there is only one place to go, which is to join the Anxi Army. Sauri Assam was very lucky. He was strong and quickly converted from an auxiliary soldier to a regular soldier through the military competition, because  With extraordinary bravery, he became a fire chief in charge of ten soldiers. Although Sauri Asammai's Chinese was not very good, the soldiers under him were basically warriors from the same tribe as him.

    The name of the battalion they are in is Kuangbu. All the battalion leaders named after the tribe are mainly tribal warriors, so there is no language barrier. Although their officer team is all Han Chinese, these officers do not care  It doesn't matter whether he speaks Da Shiyu or Turkic, it's enough to command them.

    Sauri was the first Anxi Army soldier to rush to the city. His tall and strong body seemed to contain infinite power. The shield he held in his left hand was the largest. The weight of twelve kilograms was too heavy for Sauri.  It's almost non-existent, but the horizontal sword in his right hand is standard. Although Sauri's one feels too light, he is only a fire chief. Only officers above the rank of captain can ask the Ordnance Bureau to customize weapons and armor, and there is a fee.  , but Sauri felt it was worth it. It turned out that Sauri, a famous warrior in the tribe, only had a full-metal scimitar passed down from his father.

    The scimitar has been passed down for several generations, and the blade has been sharpened very thin. Every time Sauri participates in a battle between tribes, the weapon he can only use is a spear with a very short tip and metal armor.  I have never heard of it. Since joining the Anxi Army, Sauri got a set of armor. The heavy texture made Sauri feel like he was in heaven. This is not the end. Then he received the Hengdao and Tuanshi.  Sauri couldn't bear to let go when he went to sleep. Sauri slept for ten whole days holding these weapons and armors.

    Sauri was told when he entered the army that the standard weapons and armor issued to them would be used when they retire. Sauri was about to shed tears at that time. He remembered that when he was young, there was no winter in the family.  In order to go hunting with his younger brother in order to go into the mountains to hunt for food, my father was reluctant to bring the family's machete. He only took a spear and went out, but it never happened again.

    At that time, Sauri felt that he wanted to sell his life to the leader of the Anxi army. In his simple mind, he believed that Anxi was also a big tribe, and the leader of the big tribe must also be the leader. Moreover, there were also regulations in the army that rewarded two people for killing an enemy in battle.  Guan, kill ten enemies and advance to the next level. The commander of Sauliton, an Anxi officer who is proficient in the food language, successfully asked Team Zhengwu. The price of a set of custom-made weapons and armor is only about ten Guan.  , Sauri has already planned. Although this battle is his first real battle for the Anxi Army, he is confident that he can get a suitable set of weapons and armor after the war. The standard weapons and armor will be given to ten  Three years old, Sauri's heart is burning.

    After rushing to the city wall, Sauri was separated from the group of soldiers. Although they gathered at the same ladder, after they climbed up the city wall and started fighting, Sauri had only six soldiers, and the other four  The soldiers either didn't go to the city or were killed or wounded below the city, Sauri didn't.

    With an angry roar, Sauri immediately used his shield to block the spear of a Tang Army spearman on the opposite side. He slashed with the horizontal knife in his hand. The straight blade of the horizontal knife had an armor-piercing function, and the tip like a bird's beak easily hit the target.  A hole was cut out in the helmet of the Tang Army on the opposite side. The spearman of the Tang Army suddenly had red and white spots on his head. His eyes turned white and his body stiffened and fell to the ground, with only the strength of twitching left.

    Sauri started killing a lot of people from the tribe. This Tang Bing was already dead. Stepping over the body of the Tang Bing who was still twitching, Sauri stared at someone.A sword and shield soldier of the Tang Army, looking at the sword and shield soldier's helmet and the logo on his shoulder, Sauri. At this time, a captain of the Tang Army, Sauri, was very happy. The officer's reward was doubled. This one at his feet  This is the eighth Tang Army that Sauri has killed since he entered the city. Although several of them were killed with the help of his subordinates, the rewards will definitely not escape him. If he kills this captain, Sauri's lips will curl up.  , cruelty mixed with excitement.

    Tang Jun's team dropped the sword and shield in their hands and grasped his throat tightly with both hands. There was a small hole there, but the depth was quite deep. His carotid artery had been severed and he could not cover it with his hands.  With a fountain of blood, this soldier's face quickly turned pale, and he made a "gurgling" sound in his throat, and threw himself forward to the ground. Sauri used his strength advantage in the frontal killing to kill this Tang soldier.  A gap was exposed in the protective shield of the officer. With just a slight slash of the horizontal sword, this very brave Tang army official on the city wall was killed.

    The joy on Sauri's face flashed, and the four men behind him pounced on several Tang soldiers who were forming a formation to resist. One of his men had already died, and another one was stabbed in the shoulder by a gun from the Tang army.  Now he was leaning against the city wall to catch his breath. The faces of the four uninjured people behind him were also obviously excited. The dead and wounded counted, and as long as they killed the enemy, they would be rewarded.

    Sauri's eyes suddenly flickered. There seemed to be someone next to him. Sauri instinctively blocked it with the shield in his hand. There was a loud "bang" sound. Sauri seemed to have been hit by a crazy war horse and immediately lost his balance.  Falling to the side, Sauri didn't dare to use his hands to support the ground, so he rolled to the ground and looked up from his shield-protected body.

    Sauri saw countless Tang troops rushing up the city wall from the inner direction of the city. The weapons in the hands of these Tang troops were all heavy hammers and iron bars. He was the one who lost his balance and fell to the ground after two Tang soldiers hit their shields with iron rods.  Sauri looked at the shield in his hand. There were two dents in the center. His left hand was also shocked and numb. Sauri moved the fingers of his left hand. There was no pain. Sauri's left hand did not feel any pain.  No problem, just numb from the shock.

    The Tang army that went up to the city not only had heavy weapons in their hands, but the armor on their bodies was also obviously thick and sophisticated. Sauri saw four of his soldiers slashing the chests of two of the opponent's soldiers with their horizontal knives, but the horizontal knives  The armor-breaking effect failed. Although the outer armor was broken, it was obvious that the opponent's armor was thick enough and it did not hurt him this time. Then the two Tang soldiers picked up the iron rods in their hands and hit him on the head.

    One soldier did not have time to protect himself with a shield and was hit by a stick at the junction of his shoulder and neck. He immediately fell to the ground. The other soldier was from a tribe in Sauri. He used his shield to block it in time, but  His life had ended here, and he died even faster than the soldier who fell to the ground.

    The iron rods of the two Tang soldiers were like driving piles. It only took three times for the shield held by the Anxi sword and shield soldier to fall down. It looked like his left arm was broken. Then a stick from the Tang army hit him.  The sword and shield soldier fell to the ground and died without saying a word. Another Tang soldier swung the iron rod in his hand and hit the soldier who was lying on the ground and was seriously injured just now.  chest.

    Sauri's other two men were also overwhelmed by the divine soldiers who rushed up the city wall. Sauri was furious. This happened in an instant. Four of Sauri's men who fell to the ground were killed.  In the blink of an eye, Sauri became a lonely bachelor. Two people in the tribe were killed. Anger rose in Sauri's chest. He didn't feel afraid and climbed up from the ground.

    At this time, the divine warriors sent by Guo Ziyi had a clear upper hand on the city wall. The sword and shield soldiers were restrained by the divine warriors. The damage caused by Hengdao standing up was very small, unless it directly hit the vital point and the armor was weak.  Here, the shield is held in one hand. Facing the equally tall and strong divine soldiers with heavy weapons, the shielding effect will be lost after just a few hits. More than a thousand sword shield soldiers in the upper city were killed, and corpses flew everywhere. From time to time, corpses fell.  When they got to the top of the city, the sword and shield soldiers below couldn't rush up, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

    Li Zuoguo put down the telescope in his hand. There was no need to continue the situation on the city. The troops of the Tang Army who were retreating to the city had not yet come up, and the weapons such as the stone-beating gold juice had not yet begun to exert their power. The losses of the retreat would be smaller.  , Li Zuoguo nodded, Guo Ziyi is indeed a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, let's stop here, the test is over.

    Li Zuoguo turned back to the messenger and ordered Dao Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The crossbowmen provided cover, and the entire army retreated from the city and fired stone machines.  "

    The clear and melodious ringing of gold reminded me that under the attack of the Shen Lei soldiers, the Anxi Army sword and shield soldiers on the city risked their lives to resist, fighting for their comrades to go down to the city. Soon there were no traces of Anxi Army soldiers on the city, and they retreated in an orderly manner.  The Anxi Army has practiced countless times. The ones covering the mid-range are crossbowmen, and the ones in the long-range are stone-throwing machines.

    Li Zuoguo saw that the army had withdrawn and was ready to move.Back at the camp, the sword and shield soldiers on the front line suddenly shouted, and some soldiers struck the shields with their horizontal knives. Li Zuoguo was surprised. He turned around and saw that there was still fighting on the top of the city. A soldier from the Anxi Army  Still fighting to the death with the Tang army at the top of the city.

    This warrior is Sauri. When the golden ring came, it was when Sauri rushed towards the divine warriors desperately. Although Sauri is simple and has a slow mind, his reaction on the battlefield is very fast. Otherwise, his reaction is very fast.  He would not have survived countless battles. After suffering a loss, he immediately realized that his strength was far beyond that of these Tang Army soldiers wearing heavy armor, otherwise the two iron rods would not have struck solidly.  None of the shields in the game broke the arm.

    Sauri directly discarded the horizontal sword, held the shield with both hands, and jumped forward with the shield in front of him. The two Tang Army divine warriors who had just killed Sauri's two men turned around and saw Sauri charging.  , both of them raised the iron rods covered with flesh and blood in their hands and hit Sauri, but Sauri's impact was very fast. The iron rods are also heavy weapons, weighing more than twenty kilograms.  The attack after the attack was powerful, but such a hasty attack only made the iron shield in Sauri's hand shake slightly, and Sauri's whole body and shield crashed into the two Tang soldiers who had just entered the city.

    There was a "bang" sound as the armor and shield collided. The two Tang soldiers were knocked back by Sauri's brute force. One of them stopped holding his hand, and the iron rod in his hand fell to the ground. The two gods fell to the ground.  The soldiers forgot that the passage they came up was made of a wooden frame, with no guardrails at all. Sauri's collision was not lethal, but they retreated outside the city wall, and those who came up  The wooden frame is still two steps away.

    The result was two screams plus two dull crashes, and then there was no sound. He fell from a height of eight meters wearing heavy armor. Even if he didn't die, he would still be seriously injured. The nearest passage to the city for a divine warrior was  Fifteen steps away, Sauri knocked two divine warriors off the city wall, attracting the attention of a dozen of the surrounding divine warriors, who immediately surrounded them.

    Sauri looked at the surrounding divine soldiers without any fear. He threw away the deformed shield in his hand, bent down to pick up the iron rod, and weighed it in his hand. Sauri nodded and felt that it fit him well.  , he didn't hear Ming Jin's voice at all, but Sauri was thinking in his mind that he had killed enough ten coins, right?  Even if you die in battle, your family will receive ten thousand pensions and land, so you can live on, but can't you also give the reward for killing the enemy to your family?

    Sauri raised the iron rod in his hand and pounced on the nearest divine warrior. What he shouted was "Mokugalo, Mokugalo". This is the big food language, which means money, Sauri.  Li's mental side was thinking about the reward, so he shouted out directly during this life-and-death battle. At this time, there was only one Anxi sword and shield soldier left on the city wall who kept shouting.
