The siege of Landu City was more difficult than expected. Even though the defenders had various advantages, the Turkic army, under the strict orders of Xue Nie Khan, still surged forward without fear of death.
During these two days and nights, the Turkic army never stopped attacking the city, and the Zhao army did not relax at all. This fierce battle made Zhao Xun feel as if he had returned to the battles between the Youbei mansions and the Mohe people. The shouts of killing echoed in his ears, and his eyes were filled with blood and fire. When he first rose up, this was how he came out.
Above the grassland, the blue sky seemed to have turned red, so red that it was so eerie. Looking at the Turkic soldiers and soldiers under the city who were like ants, coming in like a tide, Zhao Xun always felt that it was unreal and a little erratic.
The spear in his hand was instantly drawn, and he stabbed to death a Turkic general who rushed to the top of the city. Then he shot the body down from the top of the city with one shot. All movements flowed smoothly without any hesitation.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The walls of Landu City have turned red. In the sunlight, it can reflect a dark red light.
Zhao Xun leaned on his spear and observed the surrounding situation indifferently above the gatehouse.
In two days and two nights of fighting, the city's defenders lost more than 20,000 men, most of whom were young men in the city. The Turkic army suffered at least 50,000 casualties, or even more. These Turkic armies are still not good at attacking fortresses. Compared with the Han people's powerful and orderly offensive, which hides murderous intent in the calm, the commander of Xue Nie Khan outside the city is obviously much lower grade. But it cannot be denied that they are indeed strong and not afraid of death at this moment.
Zhao Xun believed that if the heavy armored soldiers had not appeared on the top of the city, the defenders would have suffered greater casualties.
"My lord, can we fight back? If this continues, the officers and soldiers in the city will have a hard time with it! The Turkic army can rotate, but we can't rotate casually now. If this continues, the situation will not be good."
Nangong Hao walked over and said wearing a somewhat torn armor. His armor was all red, and there were some pieces of meat in the gaps in the armor.
Now, not only these generals, but also civil servants such as Zhang Yuanjing are also wearing armor and boarding the tower to observe the enemy's situation and respond at any time.
Zhao Xun looked up at the sky and shook his head, "Wait a little longer, it's not time yet If we want to fight back, we have to win the battle. The time has not come yet, we have to continue to be patient At the very least, we have to Wait until the sun sets before starting the counterattack. First break the enemy's base and attack the camp outside the city at night. Even the Turkic army will be exhausted after repeated hard battles. This is the best time for our army to counterattack. "
"Nangong Hao, let the Shenji Battalion be prepared and ready to go to war at any time! Let them carry out the Thunder Thunder."
Nangong Hao immediately responded and ran along the several-foot-wide city wall.
The setting sun is like blood, and the large banner on the city head is in the blood color, revealing a bit of cold and fierce energy, hunting in the wind, and the flaming unicorn on the flaming unicorn flag is even more heroic in the sunset. ¡
At this moment, the Turkic army under the city has not decreased at all. They are like sardine cans, full of people and heads everywhere. Even if the crossbowmen of the defenders on the city topppled their bows and arrows like rain, it still did not reduce the density of some Turkic troops. In order to speed up the siege, the Turkic army increased its siege intensity. Especially yesterday, Xue Nie Khan recruited tens of thousands of slaves from several tribes in the rear to help break the city.
Therefore, this makes it more difficult to defend the city. No matter how fast they kill, they are not as fast as the Turkic army can charge. At this time, there were already countless Turkic troops climbing up the hundreds of ladders. This also caused Zhao Jun's city defense supplies to be consumed very quickly.
Time is passing, the fighting continues, the screams and wailings continue, and the sound shakes the world
"My lord, the Turkic troops are gathering under the city, and the sky is getting darker. It's time to fight back. Use the sky-shaking thunder!" Zhang Yuanjing, who was behind Zhao Xun, said loudly.
Zhao Xun looked at the sky, then at the tide of Turkic troops below the city, nodded slightly, and said: "Start the counterattack! Remember, don't throw too many at once, so that each of these sky-shaking thunders will emit the most Effective role.¡±
The Sky Thunder explosion has an effective range, and Zhao Xun naturally does not want the Shenji Battalion to waste it in order to achieve the effect as soon as possible. There are not many reserves of these sky-shaking thunders. Wouldn't it be a huge loss if we couldn't inflict huge losses on Xue Nie Khan?
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely explain everything clearly!" Zhang Yuanjing nodded and hurriedly passed on the order.
After the Shenji Battalion received the military order, they were almost crazy with excitement. Facing such a dense crowd under the city, they didn't even need to use equipment to projectile, they just needed toIt's enough to just throw it down after igniting it.
"Get ready, light the fire, and launch!" the Shenji Battalion officer gave the order, and the Shenji Battalion soldiers immediately took action. At this moment, on the entire city wall, at every distance, there were several soldiers from the Shenji Battalion wearing red armor who were busy.
A moment later, on top of the city, every few dozen meters there was a Shenji Battalion soldier throwing the ignited thunderbolt down the city. The sky-shattering thunder with sparks roared and smashed into the dense Turkic army below the city.
"What is this?" Outside the city, many Turkic soldiers saw a black shadow with sparks falling from the top of the city and fell into the crowd. Because it was already dark, it looked extremely conspicuous. However, because Turkic soldiers gathered outside the city, it was impossible to take it out in time, and it was impossible to understand what was in it.
¡°Rumble¡¡±
In an instant, a loud noise like thunder came from outside the city, accompanied by streaks of fire. Whether it was the defenders on the city wall or the Turkic army's main formation several miles outside the city, they suddenly felt a buzzing in their ears and the earth was shaking slightly. Especially the defenders on the city wall. Although they were warned by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, these three soldiers and the Landu tribe members all turned pale and trembled all of a sudden. This kind of weapon is beyond their imagination. In their opinion, this is simply manipulating the divine thunder to fend off the enemy.
Whether it is the Turkic army¡¯s main formation or the defenders on the city wall, they are not as miserable as the Turkic army outside the city. Above and below the city, both sides could clearly see that among the dense siege soldiers, countless corpses flew into the sky with the light of fire. In an instant, only countless pieces of corpses fell down, and broken arms and legs fell all over the ground. Under the dense city of Land City, nearly a hundred blank areas with a radius of several feet appeared instantly.
In this attack, nearly 4,000 Turkic soldiers were killed and more than 2,000 soldiers were wounded. The huge lethality of Zhentian Lei caused the entire battlefield to pause. Many Turkic soldiers who had been extremely excited just now, thinking about going to the city to collect the bounty, were now pale and wanted to quit.
It is not the first time that Zhao Jun¡¯s thunder has appeared on the grassland, nor is it the first time that it has been used by Turkic tribes. Bingzhou Land appeared once, but Xue Nie Khan did not know the actual situation of Zhentian Lei. The last time Li Chenfeng led his army to raid Moran and other tribes, he also used it once. However, most of the tribesmen in these tribes were alive and dead, and the Turkic army soldiers did not pay attention to the appearance of the thunder.
During the attack and defense of Landu City, Zhao Jun never used it, so Xue Nie Khan also forgot that Zhao Jun had such a sharp weapon. Therefore, Zhentian Lei is the strongest and most effective way to counterattack against a dense siege team.
Facing the huge thunder, the Turkic troops were shocked and panicked. Most of the soldiers regarded these things as thunder. In their eyes, only thunder in the world could have such prestige. The entire battlefield suddenly became silent, as if time had suddenly stopped. The originally exciting morale suddenly weakened, and some soldiers and slaves were even quietly retreating.
"Damn it! What is this? What did Zhao Jun use?" In the Turkic army's main formation, Xue Nie Khan suddenly roared angrily, as if he was crazy. The price he paid for Landu City was too high. Putting aside the more than 100,000 soldiers of Geely, this attack on the city cost another 10,000 casualties. He could not let this operation fail. In his opinion, above Landu City, King Zhao personally defended the city, so there must still be few defenders in Landu City. There will definitely be no surprises in this siege.
"Send the order and continue the attack. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed! The officers of each department will strictly investigate each department. If any of his subordinates escape, the officers will severely punish them!" Xue Nie Khan ordered frantically.
"Zhao Jun must not have many of this weapon, otherwise he would not use it at this moment, instead of using it a few days ago. Zhao Jun's move also shows that it is difficult for them to hold on! The soldiers attacked with all their strength and captured Lan Capital City, double the reward!¡±
Xue Nie Khan's messengers kept shouting to convey Xue Nie Khan's military orders to the Turkic soldiers outside the city, and asked the supervising team to kill dozens of retreating soldiers. Only then did the Turks who were still in shock The sergeant finally got a little better. After waiting for a while, I found that those explosive things like thunder stopped appearing, so I couldn't help but start to move forward and start to attack again. And Xue Nie Khan's double reward also made these soldiers ecstatic. In an instant, they suppressed the fear in their hearts and continued to surge forward.
More than a hundred sky-shaking thunders killed more than 4,000 enemy troops and injured more than 2,000 people at one time. This can already be said to be a miracle. If it weren't for the overwhelming density of the Turkic army, even the specially processed Thunder Thunder would have been impossible to achieve such a result.Good results.
Now that the approaching Turkic troops have been slaughtered, Zhao Jun will naturally not continue to shoot casually. Without a large enough enemy force gathering, Sky Thunder will not achieve its maximum effect. Of course, there are not many enemy troops, so the threat to Landu City will not be too great, and Zhentian Lei will naturally not continue to use it casually. This kind of thing should naturally be used in the most critical places. Only in this way can we exert our greatest influence.
The effect of the thunder made the Turkic army frightened, but it also made the defenders morale happy. A burst of cheers suddenly came from the entire city. At this moment, the defenders, especially the three soldiers and the Landu tribe reserve army, were no longer afraid of the enemy attacking the city. Because, they all saw that not far away from them, there were still a lot of thunders piled up there.
The siege of the city continued. Just as the sky-shaking thunder exploded, many Turkic troops who had almost climbed to the top of the city fell again. At this time, more Turkic troops came from the rear and continued to go up the ladder to the city. On the city, stones, rolling wood, fire oil, gold juice, and various city defense tools were constantly thrown at the Turkic army on the ladder.
In an instant, countless Turkic soldiers were always knocked down by the gleeful defenders with endless defensive equipment just when they were about to climb to the top of the city.
The recruited Landu tribesmen smashed rolling stones and knocked down logs, while the rest of the defenders all drew their bows and arrows and shot arrows desperately at the city. Every arrow shot down can always hit an enemy.
After paying a heavy price and walking on mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the Turkic troops under the city finally jumped onto the city. The sword and shield soldiers on the top of the city picked up their swords and engaged the enemy at hand-to-hand combat, while the crossbowmen carried out surprise attacks from behind.
The Turkic troops continued to swarm up the city. The Zhao troops on the city refused to give in. Both sides fought desperately for their lives. Hand-to-hand fighting was everywhere. As more and more Turkic troops rushed to the city, groups of heavy armored soldiers began to appear. They took heavy steps to kill the enemy
As soon as the heavy armored soldiers appear, they immediately turn the situation around!
These heavy armored soldiers only need to use their heavy axes to chop and chop with their swords. More than a thousand heavily armored soldiers advanced like a wall, killing every three steps. These soldiers, covered with armor, are simply invincible in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy in this city.
The top of the city is so small that there is no way to set up a formation, especially for the siege party. Most of their weapons are swords and other short weapons. When fighting in such an environment, any formation is no longer reliable. The most reliable thing is the strong individual combat capability.
The heavy armored soldiers guarding the city don't need any formation at all. They only need five or six people to go to that row, and then advance steadily in a straight row. They had successfully suppressed the Turkic soldiers who had stormed the city and kept retreating. No matter how powerful the soldiers were, they couldn't stop a big ax coming straight down. They didn't need to defend themselves at all. They only had to chop, chop, and chop again. All that was left were broken human bodies on the ground.
For the heavily armored soldiers, the Turkic army had no choice at all. There are almost no weaknesses in heavy armored soldiers, at least when it comes to siege, there are no weaknesses. Except for their eyes, the weapons equipped by the Turkic soldiers who attacked the city cannot be bows and arrows. Besides, there is no chance of them being killed in one blow. Therefore, on the city wall, they almost only had the fate of being massacred by the defenders.
Gradually, the Turkic soldiers who had reached the top of the city were slowly forced back by the heavy armored soldiers. However, days of hard fighting also made it difficult for the heavy armored soldiers to last long. The situation at the top of the city was changing. From time to time, the Zhao army retreated and the Turkic army advanced to speak. From time to time, the Zhao army counterattacked, and the Turkic army retreated.
"My lord, the Turkic troops outside the city have gathered together again!"
"Zhentian Lei, keep throwing! Since it's here again, we must treat it well!" Zhao Xun said coldly.
¡°Rumble¡¡±
There was another fire and loud noise, this time in the evening when it was getting dark, so the fire outside the city seemed particularly clear. Just like last time, there were five to six thousand casualties. However, this time, many soldiers saw the sparks flickering and ran to retreat. But how to retreat among this dense crowd of soldiers?
This time, with the appearance of the thunderous thunder, the Turkic army that attacked the city completely collapsed. The Turkic army outside the city no longer had the same momentum as before. Although they did not flee in all directions, the Turkic soldiers who were outside the explosion range no longer dared to approach easily. In fact, many soldiers fled directly to the rear, and the supervising team did not continue to supervise the battle at this moment.
"DamnI"
Seeing such a situation, Xue Nie Khan of the Turkic Army's main formation opened his eyes angrily and was speechless.
It seemed that Landu City could be breached, but it failed again and again. At this moment, Xue Nian Khan's hands were trembling, just like a gambler, he was "forced" to increase his chips again and again. NowadaysThe code has been added more and more, but the harvest has not been seen yet. Under the seemingly crumbling Landu City, he was lured by Zhao Jun. He sent troops and horses again and again, always thinking that he would win the next moment.
What should we do now? The morale of the entire army plummeted and the soldiers were exhausted. He was about to capture Landu City, but the result was still Xue Nie Khan was very unwilling, but at this moment he couldn't help but use this unknown weapon against Zhao Jun. He wanted to continue, but looking at the soldiers in front and around him, he knew that the night battle could no longer continue.
"Great Khan, the morale of the soldiers is gone, so we should stop the attack. In addition, the soldiers have been exhausted after fighting hard for a day. Besides, it won't be too late to take action once we find out what Zhao Jun's weapons are!" said the right general! Wu Duyan tried to persuade him urgently.
Xue Nie Khan took a sharp look at the flaming Kirin flag floating slowly above Landu City. Anger surged in his heart, and the hidden hands that were holding the riding whip were already shaking uncontrollably.
After hesitating for a long time, Xue Nie Khan gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat the troops and return to the camp!"
Immediately, outside Landu City, the Turkic soldiers who received the military order immediately ran back in a hurry, as if Zhao Jun was chasing them. Many Turkic army officers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In such a situation, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even they officers were extremely frightened. They were already eager to withdraw immediately.
Above the city of Landu, when the soldiers of Zhao saw the Turkic army evacuated, they immediately came up with a cheering, and they were celebrating the victory of the battle.
Xue Nie Khan, who had just turned his horse to evacuate to the camp, suddenly heard the deafening cheers behind him. He couldn't help but tighten his hands, and his heart was filled with anger. I can't wait to turn the horse's head immediately and kill him again. However, he knew that this could only be thought of in his mind. Before knowing the weapons used by Zhao Jun tonight, his soldiers no longer dared to attack.
