Chapter 449: Time to Fight Back
The herald brought the message, and the Turkic commanders knew that the situation in the city did not seem to be as optimistic as they imagined, and that no one would respond.
"Tell the order to go down and prepare to retreat!"
Yelu Baotai looked at the soldiers who were besieging the city and gave orders to those around him.
"It's not like half an hour......
Yelu Baotai interrupted the words of the generals beside him and explained: "The people trapped in the city are not our people, and there has been no movement until now, do you want to watch our soldiers go to defend the Turks and send them to retreat." ”
The Turks, on their part, did not know that the Northern Barbarians would not fulfill their promises, and they had already given the order to attack with all their might, and even several commanders personally went into battle.
They had already made up their minds that they were bound to capture Youzhou City in one go, and they had high hopes for the courage of the Turkic soldiers in the city.
"Our report is trapped in Youzhou City, and now we have to go all out to rescue our brothers, the Turkic warriors don't have cowards to rush with me!"
The Commander spearheaded the most violent attack.
The people on the city wall of Youzhou were already suppressed by the archers under the city, and suddenly there were many more people, many people squatted under the battlements of the city wall, and the sound of arrows flying in their ears was heard.
"Brothers, hold on." Luo Yi encouraged on the city wall.
The Li brothers each took people to hide behind the battlements of the city wall, and checked the situation under the city through the observation hole, and all the people who were pressed by the black were people
"General Luo, they're erecting escalators." Li Shimin reminded.
Luo Yi is very experienced and has Li De's idea, they have discussed the escalator, the most common artifact for siege, and the mechanics cannot push the escalator away at all after forming a certain angle.
Unless the angle is very small, the enemy's escalator with a moat can only extend the distance, so that the angle between the ground and the escalator is smaller, and no one can push it.
"Prepare the oil!"
Therefore, to deal with this kind of ladder, since it can't be pushed with force, it can only be countered by the principle of material restraint, bamboo and wood are afraid of fire, and falling down the ladder can solve the escalator.
When Luo Yi was talking, there were already two or three escalators outside the city wall burning with the fire oil, and there were people screaming from time to time, and it was difficult to extinguish it when it was affected by the fire oil.
Li Shimin looked at everything that was happening in front of him, defending the city seemed simple, but in fact it was the closest to death, once the enemy attacked the city wall, he had to fight with his life.
He wondered if the result would have been different if there had been no city walls, and he thought that the Turks seemed to have the initiative to fight without the city walls.
Li Shimin sometimes inadvertently finds something worth thinking about, they seem to be as solid as a rock on the city wall, but they are also in danger.
Either way, he didn't intend to let these enemies go.
"Captain Li, we're going to get ready for battle."
The oil was used against the escalators, but the amount of the oil was limited after all, and there were still more escalators for the enemy to use to storm the walls, and they had to prepare for battle.
Fight to the death without the slightest concession.
Li Shimin directly pulled out the blade in his hand, and he had already prepared for the future.
Looking at Li Jiancheng again, he is much calmer, and when it comes to combat experience, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji both have some advantages, and their attitude towards the enemy is more calm.
Li Shimin will pay attention to Li Jiancheng's reaction from time to time, both of them are like this, both subconsciously.
"Defend the city wall, the city is here, and the soldiers will kill with me!"
Luo Yi let out a loud roar, and the soldiers on the city wall all obeyed the order and began to fight back, which was suppressed by the enemy's archers before, but now that the Turks have attacked the city wall, the pressure on the archers has become much less.
Thousands of men on the walls began to fend off the attack.
The Turkic commanders felt that the attack had paid off, and charged with men while urging the attack.
They seemed to have seen success, and the Turkic soldiers on the walls flooded the walls like locusts.
Yelu Baotai had been watching, their men were ready to retreat, and now was the time to work hard, and seeing the reversal of the tide of battle, he had to hesitate to help them.
At that time, the benefits that can be shared by this should be many, and the purpose of their coming will not be able to be successfully accomplished.
"Come, send an order for the soldiers to show our bravery and attack the city with all our might."
Yelu Baotai gave an order, and after a while, the generals around him had to react, and the mobilization of troops and horses was not a trivial matter, just like if they wanted to withdraw from the battle now, it would take time.
The Turks now ignore the situation of the Northern Barbarian tribes, they have been consumed by desire, no matter what the price is, they must take Youzhou City.
The main gates of the city had been blocked, and the plan of the Turks was to use the main force to contain the defenders of the city, and then send another army to attack the other gates.
The idea was good, even if there was another hope that the main gates had not fallen, but it was purely of their imagination.
When they were about to be complacent, the vanguard soldiers in Youzhou City were already waiting for an opportunity.
"Governor, the defenders of Youzhou City have already held the main force of the enemy." The scout came over and reported.
"It's time, all the lieutenants listen to the order and lead the Wind Chimes Volcano to counterattack with all their might."
The vanguard was dispatched, and they set out in all directions to launch a fierce attack on the enemy.
The Turks who were besieging the city suddenly saw a lot of people appear, and things were a little sudden, so that many people did not react in time.
"Aren't they supposed to be guarding the city, how can they be outside the city?"
The doubts of the Turks are also those of the Northern Barbarian tribes.
"Hit the mark!" Jerebol immediately realized that the weakness of the defenses on the walls was all fake, in order to distract them, to catch them off guard.
"Retreat!" Yelubao thought he had figured it out, so he just picked on it and quit, and it just so happened that the news of the attack had not been sent out immediately.
The soldiers of the Northern Barbarians were still preparing to retreat at any time.
"Kill!"
Fighting between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.
The main force of the vanguard and the five thousand guards of the Luo family charged at the front, Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin rode with flying horses and leopards, and the wolf guards were all guarding on the flanks to contain the enemy cavalry who wanted to escape.
There was only the sound of gold and iron and shouting outside the entire Youzhou City.
Originally, the Turks were not afraid, and now the forces of the two sides had the strength to fight, but the result was unexpected, although the people of the Northern Barbarian tribe did not leave immediately, they were already on the way to leave.
Several of the Turkic commanders were resentful and scolded the wrong person.
Their shouting and scolding really didn't help the battle situation in the slightest, except that they could vent their dissatisfaction, but this kind of emotion would make them make some wrong judgments.
For example, at this time, they had to make the Turkic soldiers give up the siege and fight back with all their might.
Luo Yi was finally relieved to see that the enemy had given up attacking the city, he knew that today's action was a dangerous move, and the strength of the city defense was far from being as strong as he imagined.
