- Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rapid war drums sounded, and the Tang soldiers in the front row raised their oars and shields to speed up. |}.
And the trebuchets and crossbows behind them immediately unleashed a wave of stone bullets and arrows at the Zhao army on the top of the city.
The huge boulders that flew in the air over the heads of the Tang soldiers whizzed past, and hit Zhao Jun's wooden wall several times, punching holes one after another. And Zhao Jun's arrows on the board wall also came from the sky, descending on the ground like dense migratory locusts.
The arrows were inserted into rows on the ground at an angle of thirty to forty-five degrees. The Tang soldiers' leather boots were almost stepping on the broken arrow branches. The Zhao army behind the wooden wall was also prepared for the Tang army's stoning. They propped up a curtain barrier made of multiple layers of cooked cowhide to prevent the trebuchets from destroying the city wall.
Wang Mahan, who was observing the overall situation from the observation deck, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, Li Shimin has a trebuchet and a crossbow, don't I have one? Give me my order to fight back, fight back!"
The soldiers in Zhao Jun¡¯s village tore off the oilcloth covering the trebuchet, loaded the stone bullets, and fired them at the soldiers of Tang Army.
The bed crossbow on the city wall also showed its ferocious fangs.
Arrows and stone bullets also covered the heads of the Tang army. They had no shelter from the walls and could only block them with the oars and shields in their hands. However, the stone bullets of Zhao Jun's eight-shooter cannon weighed dozens of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms.
The huge boulders thrown from the air hit the shields. Some of the rocks fell and the shields were scattered. The soldiers suffered broken arms and legs. The most common ones were that they and their shields were smashed into a bloody mess.
Screams came one after another, the shield fell apart, and the bones cracked. There was a loud sound.
The arrows of the bed crossbow are like a farmer plowing a field. Tearing apart the Tang army's formation. The oar shield is useless in front of the bed crossbow.
In the darkness, soldiers of the Tang Dynasty swarmed in. The gap was constantly opened by stone bullets and arrows, but it was filled in an instant by the Tang army pressing from behind.
For Changsun Wuji, who had superior military strength, he did not care about this loss at all.
They were approaching the first trench dug by the Zhao army. The Tang soldiers had never investigated before, but now they took a breath of cold air when they saw it. Zhao Jun must have built this trench too deep.
The general of the Tang Army made a visual inspection and could only use the wall-climbing ladder in advance and extend it into the bottom of the trench. After the Tang soldiers climbed down from above, they set up another ladder to climb up. This entry and exit consumed a lot of physical strength of the heavily armored Tang army. After the soldiers of Tang Dynasty finally crossed the first trench, they encountered the second trench. This trench was even deeper than the first trench.
In Zhao Jun¡¯s camp, 50,000 civilians who originally built trenches and dug fortifications were doing the work of saving lives and healing the wounded. They transported arrows to the front line and lifted wounded soldiers one by one to the rear for treatment.
The Tang army had already approached the wall, which was densely covered with arrowheads. There are also several holes opened by trebuchets.
Sergeant Zhao stood on the wall, loaded the crossbow with his feet, and then fired freely. On the side, the Zhao army generals roared loudly, and groups of spearmen lined up on the wall to form a dense formation of spears.
The bright armor on these spearmen was very eye-catching, causing the Tang army to shoot arrows everywhere. But they were ready to surround the crossbowmen, and their armor was full of arrowheads shot by the Tang army.
Underneath the board wall, Tang Jun arrived carrying ladders. A series of bamboo ladders were set up on the wall. The elite soldiers of the Tang Army immediately climbed up the wall with swords and spears.
'kill! ¡®Senior Zhao¡¯s soldiers behind the wall shouted in unison!
Countless gun barrels covered with red cherry blossoms poked out from the crenellations of the city wall. The Tang army under the city was not unprepared. They used the short axes in their hands. Throwing them onto the city wall destroyed Zhao Jun's gun formation, and many Zhao soldiers fell down with axes on their heads, but the same dozens of Tang soldiers fell from the city wall with their chests covered.
There is nothing clever about the bloody hand-to-hand combat. Both armies trade lives for lives. At several passes created by throwing stones, soldiers from both sides fought each other with shields and knives, and blood flowed.
The soldiers of the two armies were panting heavily and fighting each other against the city wall, unable to give in. They looked into each other's eyes, and even their breathing could be heard clearly.
The soldiers fighting in the front were driven forward to fight by the soldiers behind them. The two armies fought with red eyes. The loser fell to the ground with his sword and gun, and was then pulled out by his partner, while the people behind him continued to make up for it.
The Tang army was crowded under the wooden wall. More and more soldiers were rushing in. The crossbows had stopped shooting long ago. Only the trebuchets continued to project in depth, trying to suppress Zhao Jun's trebuchets and bed crossbows.
On the right wing, the Turkic infantry finally filled up the trench in front of the board wall, cleared the ground of carbines, iron caltrops, and replacedThe price is two thousand casualties. The fallen Turkic soldiers fell to the ground and were dragged down one by one.
A fire was lit in the rear, and several Zoroastrian priests were dancing there, praying for victory.
Tong Yehu Khan stared at the battlefield in front of him expressionlessly.
¡®Khan, Zhao Jun¡¯s position prevents our cavalry from taking advantage of it! ¡®
Listening to his subordinates¡¯ complaints, Tong Yehu nodded and said, ¡®Don¡¯t worry, as long as the wall can be broken, our cavalry can assault the camp. ¡®
¡®But how to get rid of it? ¡®
Tong Yehu said coldly: ¡®Of course I¡¯ll burn him. ¡®
After the second column of Turkic troops surged up, they unexpectedly did not climb the city. Instead, everyone carried barrels on their shoulders and braved the blows of Zhao Jun's arrows.
Yuchi Gong didn¡¯t know why, he just wondered why the Turkic army threw the barrel under the city wall.
At this time, several arrows shot the barrel open, but black sticky substance flowed out from inside.
¡®It¡¯s kerosene! Damn it! ¡®Yu Chigong could see it at a glance.
It is no secret that Zhao Jun likes to use kerosene bombs produced in the Western Regions, and the Turks in the Western Regions know how to use them.
But I saw them throwing the kerosene barrels behind the city wall, and then shooting the barrels with flaming arrows. Then the infantry phalanx on the left and right retreated far back.
When Yuchi Jingde saw this scene, he immediately ordered: ¡®Quick, get out of here, the kerosene is about to explode. ¡®
After listening to Yuchi Jingde¡¯s order, Sergeant Zhao immediately evacuated this section of the wall.
Only a moment later, a loud bang was heard, and a fire broke out at the wall where Zhao Jun was standing. The wall was in the explosion, either burning or blown away.
Tong Yehu looked at it, drew his sword and pointed forward, shouting: 'Warriors, where are you? ¡®
Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry behind them raised their scimitars and shouted in response.
¡®Kill them all, rob them of all their money, and make their women your slaves! ¡®
'kill! ¡®
Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry urged their mounts, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the battlefield, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The burning air distorted the vision, and black smoke rose everywhere. Through the burning remains of the city wall, Zhao Jun's camp had been stripped of its strongest armor. Behind the broken wall, Zhao Jun's steps could be seen. They hurriedly reorganized behind the city wall.
The dark Turkic cavalry urged their horses to kill the Zhao army's infantry phalanx in formation.
In their eyes, it was already too late. The horses quickly passed through the filled trench and then passed through the smoking remains of the city wall.
At this time, the manic horn horns sounded across the battlefield. The Turkic cavalry roared in. More than 40,000 horse hooves hit the ground. Everyone felt dizzy in the face of the pressure of the cavalry.
Seeing the beating horse's head filling the entire field of vision, a sneer appeared on Yu Chigong's face.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The first line of Turkic cavalry that broke through the city wall suddenly fell over. The second row of Turkic cavalry behind them didn't know what happened. They wanted to rein in their horses, but they couldn't stop.
¡®Yes, trench! ¡®
¡®The Han people also dug a trench behind the city wall! ¡®
¡®Despicable Han people, ah! ¡®
When Yuchi Jingde saw the Turkic cavalry flipping over on their backs, he couldn't help laughing.
After the Turkic cavalry filled up the trench, the Turkic cavalry who rushed forward were hit by the iron thorns and horse ropes on the ground.
¡®Retreat! 'Tong Yehu was about to explode with anger at this moment. Such a terrifying cavalry assault turned into a joke in Zhao Jun's eyes.
When the Turkic cavalry heard the order to retreat, they quickly turned their horses.
¡®If you want to leave, there¡¯s no way, just shoot the arrow! ¡®Yuchi Jingde roared angrily,
The Turkic cavalry who retreated hastily were attacked by a rain of arrows from the Zhao army, and the trebuchet was also launched, and the stone bullets hit the Turkic cavalry head and face.
In front of the city wall, the corpses of Turkic cavalry suddenly piled up like mountains.
'What? ¡®
It was only then that Tong Yehu saw clearly that there was a second wall behind Zhao Jun. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
