- The defense preparations above Xiaoguan have just been completed. At this time, two to three thousand Turkic soldiers have gathered under the walls of Xiaoguan.
¡°Everyone listen to me, all the flying ladders are erected for me, and the cloud ladders are also raised for me, ready to attack the city!¡±
Of course, this is just a slogan shouted by the commander of this group of people. The ordering soldiers must not dare to shout like this.
"Hook up the wall, set up the ladder, move the ladder forward, raise the ladder, all warriors are ready to get on the ladder, the attack begins!"
"Hook up the wall, set up the ladder, move the ladder forward, raise the ladder, all warriors are ready to get on the ladder, the attack begins!"
"Hook up the wall, set up the ladder, move the ladder forward, raise the ladder, all warriors are ready to get on the ladder, the attack begins!"
As the Turkic messenger conveyed the order to attack, the assault soldiers who had been holding the flying ladder immediately put the flying ladder on the ground, and then the two Turkic soldiers who controlled the flying hook on the flying ladder began to hold the flying ladder up. The flying hook began to wave.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" At this time, I could only hear the sound of "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" coming from the foot of the Xiaoguan City Wall.
Then countless flying hooks flew up from the foot of the city wall and clung tightly to the piers of Xiaoguan City Wall.
I saw such a flying hook coming up and hooking tightly on the wall pier of the city wall. How is this possible? If we don't kill such a flying hook quickly, the group of Turkic soldiers at the foot of the city wall will not be able to easily climb up and attack the city. This But that must not happen.
So the swordsmen of the Tang Army who were standing on the edge of the city wall no longer waited for Qin Liyan to issue orders. Just follow the usual practice and cut off those flying hooks, so as not to give the Turks a chance to directly attack the Tang army on the city wall.
?? If such a thing is not allowed, both parties have been prepared for it. In the thousands of years of war history in China, siege warfare has been going on for thousands of years, and its siege mode has already been finalized to a certain extent. It will not change unless new siege weapons appear.
Just when the flying hooks of the attacking Turks were hanging on the Xiaoguan city wall and the defending Tang army's Pu swordsmen were about to cut them off, the numerous Turkic archers at the foot of the Xiaoguan city wall began to show off their power.
"All the archers are in position, retreat twenty steps against the Xiaoguan City Wall, target the garrison on the Xiaoguan City Wall, suppress the arrows, and mount the weapons on the wall!"
"All the archers are in position, retreat twenty steps against the Xiaoguan city wall. Target the garrison on the Xiaoguan city wall, suppress the arrows, and mount the weapons on the wall!"
"All the archers are in position, retreat twenty steps against the Xiaoguan City Wall, target the garrison on the Xiaoguan City Wall, suppress the arrows, and mount the weapons on the wall!"
When the second wave of orders is issued. The Turkic archers who had been ready to counterattack finally burst out with their long-standing resentment at being suppressed by the arrows of the Tang army's archers. Suddenly, thousands of arrows flew out of their hands and flew towards Xiaoguan. The Tang garrison position on the city wall. Finally, there was a rain of arrows above Xiaoguan.
However, this burst of arrows did not do much harm to the Tang Dynasty defenders on the Xiaoguan wall.
When the Turkic army under the Xiaoguan city wall issued an order, Qin Liyan above Xiaoguan knew what was going to happen.
"Except for the heavy infantry, all failed and took shelter on the spot. The shield men stepped forward to defend against the flying arrows under the city and protect the safety of the archers!"
"Except for the heavy infantry, all failed and took shelter on the spot. The shield men stepped forward to defend against the flying arrows under the city and protect the safety of the archers!"
"Except for the heavy infantry, all failed and took shelter on the spot. The shield men stepped forward to defend against the flying arrows under the city and protect the safety of the archers!"
The accompanying messengers repeated Qin Liyan's orders over and over again to the ears of the defenders on the city wall.
Except for the heavy infantry, all the defenders on the Xiaoguan City Wall began to find places to hide, cherishing their own lives.
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty defenders on the Xiaoguan City Wall are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are quite knowledgeable about how to protect themselves from the enemy's archers and save their lives, and they don't have to be in such danger. It¡¯s time to teach.
Pu Daoshou who was next to the heavy infantry all hid behind the tall wall piers on the Xiaoguan City Wall. They all shrank down and put their bodies as close to the wall piers as possible to ensure that they would not be attacked from the front. The flying arrow took his own life.
Behind the heavy infantry and Pu Daoshou, the archers of the Tang Dynasty who were very active just now and kept shooting arrows from their hands to kill the enemy, all began to gather together to avoid the arrows that were about to come. The arrows disturbed.
At this time, they were in groups of ten and twenty-one, forming a square as much as possible, and then among them, they stood crosswise on shields holding large shields. Of course, they were only a few, and most of them wereCountless shield bearers set up their large shields in front of them.
In this way, when the Turks began to throw arrows at the defenders above Xiaoguan, they did not have much influence in the face of the Tang army, which had already been fully prepared. After three consecutive rounds of shooting, Only a hundred casualties were caused.
The casualties among this group of unlucky guys at this time were completely unlucky. They were all shot by arrows from top to bottom. No one was hit by arrows in the front. They were all hit by arrows in the back, limbs, and head. , of course, very few people were shot in the head.
However, the Turkic generals at the foot of the Xiaoguan City Wall would not be surprised by this situation. They had no intention of relying on these three waves of arrows to cause much damage to the Tang Army. Their purpose was to follow the slogans they shouted. In this way, the defenders who aim to suppress the Xiaoguan City Wall will be unable to take action to destroy the flying ladder at this time.
So when the defenders above Xiao Pass were avoiding the arrows fired by the Turkic soldiers, the Turks had already connected the flying ladders in their hands with "click!" "click!" and "click!" With the force of the city wall firmly in hand, he leaned firmly against the city wall of Xiaoguan. The constant "click!" "click!" and "click!" sounds were the sound of the flying ladder hitting the city wall.
Then there was another harsh sound, like the sound of two broken pieces of wood rubbing against each other. The dozens of ladders that the Turks had built in the past few days finally came into use at this time.
The two sections of the wooden ladder used for testing. At this time, the two finally merged into one, with one end deeply embedded in the soil outside Xiaoguan City, and the other end extending to the top of Xiaoguan's city wall. At this time, it is completely stretched out and becomes a real siege weapon.
After all the preparations are completed, it is finally time to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army on the city wall.
"Archers. Shoot backwards to suppress the Tang Army's archers. Infantrymen go up the ladder. Get them all up the wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat!"
"Archers, shoot backwards, suppress the Tang army's archers, and infantry go up the ladder. Get them all up the wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat!"
"Archers, shoot backwards, suppress the Tang Army's archers, infantrymen go up the ladder, all get on the wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat!"
At different times. It is always necessary to save time and make timely adjustments appropriately. After all the preparations for the siege are completed, it is time to see the real results and officially enter the siege battle, which is the bloodiest. It¡¯s time for the greatest casualties.
Since hand-to-hand combat is about to take place at this time, the role of archers is no longer great. However, although it is not very useful, it still needs to be suppressed. After all, if the arrow hits a person, he will still bleed. At the same time Why not do this if it can reduce the resistance of the Tang Dynasty defenders on the city wall.
However, under the city wall, the Turkic generals and messengers shouted attack slogans with such loud voices that the defenders on the city wall could naturally hear them. After hearing the Turkic people's attack order, Qin Liyan stood up fiercely and gave the order. road:
"The heavy infantrymen unsheathed their swords and stepped forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemies who climbed up the city wall. Pu Dao assisted hand-in-hand and worked together. One part cut off the flying hook of the enemy's flying ladder, pushed down the flying ladder, and the other part was thrown down the city wall. Boulders and logs, kill and injure enemy troops.
The civilians stepped forward to deliver supplies, the shield bearers stepped forward to protect the civilians, and the archers retired to prepare for the second wave of offensive! "

Under Qin Liyan¡¯s adjustment, the Tang garrison above Xiaoguan also completed the corresponding response work!
However, just when Qin Liyan issued a new order for the transition of offense and defense, and the order was passed to the ears of the defenders on the city wall, the leading soldiers of the Turkic attack force had already climbed up and attacked the defenders on the city wall. Attacked.
Fortunately, the heavy infantry of the Tang Army were guarding the gaps in all the wall piers. While the soldiers of other arms were still following Qin Liyan's military orders, the heavy infantry had already joined the Turkic soldiers who were the first to climb the city wall. Called to get started.
??Immediately, the hand-to-hand combat began, but to be precise, this was a one-sided massacre, especially the Turkic soldiers who climbed up the flying ladder. They had just emerged, and were cut by the heavy infantry of the Tang army who had been waiting for a long time with the horizontal sword in their hands. He slashed through their necks and chopped off their heads. Hot blood spurted out from the aorta in their necks, and blood spattered everywhere.
Then I saw the heads of Turkic soldiers falling from the sky one after another, smacking the Turkic soldiers who were lining up under the city wall to climb up the flying ladder. They screamed and screamed. They were frightened. , and some were hurt by being hit on the head.
After all, this human head still weighs a lot. In addition, the human skull is one of the hardest parts of the human body. In addition, the Turkic soldiers are a group of light infantry. Without the protection of a helmet, they will be smashed. The pain may be mild, but severe may cause fainting on the spot.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of heads of Turkic soldiers fell from Xiao Pass at the same time, followed closely by their corpses, which also fell downwards. Suddenly there was another burst of exclaimed.
At this time, the Pu swordsmen beside the heavy infantry finally stood up, took their positions, and began to carry out Qin Liyan's orders in this rare gap gained by the heavy infantry.
Suddenly, the Turkic soldiers on the city wall just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the several-mile-long Xiaoguan city wall. At the same time, boulders and logs flew out from hundreds of places and smashed towards the city wall.
With these huge rocks and logs. The person hit by the hit either had his brains splattered and died on the spot, or was knocked unconscious. No one was spared from the smashing injuries. The most miserable ones were the Turkic soldiers who were climbing up the city wall on the flying ladder.
Directly seeing the opportunity, Pu Daoshou of the Tang Army threw a huge boulder over their heads, which immediately hit all the Turkic soldiers on the flying ladder to the ground with the huge impact of the boulder. No, To be crushed to death is to be crushed to death. Very few people were spared. After all, if these huge rocks weighed tens of kilograms, their lives would be lost if they were smashed casually.
"Hurry, hurry up, come on. If you don't move forward in battle, you will die; if you are passive and sabotage your work, you will die; if you dare to retreat, you will die!"
The tragic sight of the Turkic soldiers who fell from the flying ladder frightened many Turkic soldiers in an instant.
After all, the Turks are a nomadic people, and they live on the entire grassland. Except for the royal court where the Khan lived, there were very few cities. This nomadic tribe moved with water and grass, and it was impossible for them to settle down.
In this way, most of the wars they have experienced were mainly field battles, and even if they went south to disturb the Tang Dynasty, Kou Bian, because the previous battles were mainly raids, although they had many harvests, Basically, I have never experienced a siege battle. Naturally, I don't know how cruel this siege battle is and how great the sacrifice is.
So it was impossible for the Turkic soldiers who saw the cruelty of a city offensive and defensive battle for the first time not to be shocked.
It is naturally inevitable to have the intention to quit, but now there is no chance of them being deserters. As soon as they found out that some of them had the intention to quit, the law enforcement team who had been waiting for a long time rushed to the side. Up.
After killing those soldiers who retreated unconsciously with one knife, he read out the military regulations again.
Suddenly, under the Xiaoguan city wall, the roar of the law enforcement team holding sabers could be heard everywhere:
"Hurry, hurry up, come on. If you don't move forward in battle, you will die; if you are passive and sabotage, you will die; if you dare to retreat, you will die!"
"Hurry, hurry up, come on. If you don't move forward in battle, you will die; if you are passive and sabotage, you will die; if you dare to retreat, you will die!"
Facing the bright sabers in the hands of the law enforcement team, the Turkic soldiers who had just begun to think of retreating quickly stopped thinking of retreating. They stepped on the corpses of their comrades and the corpses above the corpses and climbed up the flying ladder. go.
However, with this short interval, and no Turkic soldiers on the flying ladder could catch up in time, the flying hooks on dozens of flying ladders were quickly chopped off by the Tang Army's Pu swordsman who was waiting aside. After breaking the flying hook, they saw the heavy infantry of the Tang Army inserting the horizontal sword in their hands directly into the contact point between the upper end of the flying ladder and the city wall, and the two swordsmen on the side raised it together.
Dozens of flying ladders were overturned to the ground by the Tang Dynasty defenders on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yang took a deep breath, and then said to Qin Liyan:
"General Qin, it seems that the defense of the city is just like what is said in the book. Surround it when it is doubled, surround it when it is five times, and attack it when it is ten times.
It is best not to attack the city if the attackers do not have ten times the strength, otherwise there is not much chance of conquering it!
Now I know what it means to have a strong city and thick walls, and what it means to have a strong city and a thick wall.Why should Xiaoguan be built here? Why is it said that Xiaoguan is one of the four major gates in the Guanzhong Plain? If Xiaoguan is here, it will be settled in Guanzhong. ",
"Yes, Zhang Yang, as long as Xiaoguan exists for one day, this Turkic army will not even think about taking a step into the pass from the north!"
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, Qin Liyan also continued Zhang Yang's words. It seems that he is also confident in watching Xiaoguan with the troops at his hand. However, this is normal. Considering that Xiaoguan's city walls are thick, The Turks will never be able to break through Xiao Pass in a short time.
"Brothers, the Turkic barbarians below the city are all paper tigers. Don't be afraid of them. Let's go ahead and let them eat shit at the gate. They can't break it and they can't attack it!
Xiao Guan is here, Guan Zhong is safe, Xiao Guan is dead, Guan Zhong is destroyed. Brothers, think about you who are behind you, watching you silently, and your family members who need your protection. As long as Xiao Guan is here for one day, they can live peacefully for one day. , no need to be disturbed by the Turks and break the safe and peaceful life that they have finally stabilized!
I am here, Xiao Guan is here, Guan Zhong is safe, the country is prosperous, the family is prosperous, Xiao Guan is dead, I am dead, I swear to live and die with Xiao Guan! "
"General, this?"
"You just pass it on as it is, I believe all the brothers will understand!"
"Brothers, the Turkic barbarians below the city are all paper tigers. Don't be afraid of them. Let's go ahead and let them eat shit at the gate. They can't break it and they can't attack it!
Xiao Guan is here, Guan Zhong is safe, Xiao Guan is dead, Guan Zhong is destroyed. Brothers, think about you who are behind you, watching you silently, and your family members who need your protection. As long as Xiao Guan is here for one day, they can live peacefully for one day. , no need to be disturbed by the Turks and break the safe and peaceful life that they have finally stabilized!
I am here, Xiao Guan is here, Guan Zhong is safe, the country is prosperous, the family is prosperous, Xiao Guan is dead, I am dead, I swear to live and die with Xiao Guan! "
As Qin Liyan¡¯s words spread, the Xiaoguan garrison, which was already at the upper hand, became more morale and its combat effectiveness increased again!
