Chapter 47 Before Reaching the City, Losing a Thousand People First
A group of tribal leaders quarreled for a long time, but in the end they did not come up with a result, until in the end, they still had to wait for the rest of the people to arrive before they could launch an offensive against Toyosu.
This is a whole day, looking at the tribal forces of Chu Yue, Hu Luzhan and other tribes who are moving forward at a rapid pace in the distance, the faces of all the tribal leaders are ugly.
"Later, we must let them go first! Wasted a day's worth of dry food reserves! ”
A small tribal leader gritted his teeth.
The scale of their tribe is already small, and they can only rob the rest of other tribes when they rob the border of the Tang Dynasty.
This also leads to the fact that their dry food reserves are completely at the bottom.
Even if all the warriors they fell were to save money, they would now have less than three days of dry food reserves.
Once the city of Toyosu cannot be captured within three days, they will all have to eat the soil, and it is very likely that they will starve to death and freeze to death.
"Hehe, you can go and propose to them in person."
Chu Mu Kunluo sneered without hesitation.
The grassland people will eat the weak, and the small tribe should have the consciousness of the small tribe.
They are in the Mukun tribe, as a medium-level tribe in the Monan grassland, they have to endure this situation obediently, and what dare a small tribe exchange in front of the two top tribes of Chuyue and Huluzhan.
As expected, the leader of the small tribe fell silent in an instant, and no one around him spoke, silently waiting for the distant army to come and converge.
Half an hour later, the two armies successfully converged, and compared to the first group of people to arrive, the performance of the tribesmen such as Chu Yue and Hu Luzhan was much better.
Although they also had wounded, only four or five hundred of the fifteen thousand were incapacitated.
That's the benefit of slowing down the march.
After Chu Yue, Hu Luzhan and other tribesmen arrived, they saw the leader of the Baodian Secret tribe who had planned to yin them before.
The leaders of the three top tribes of Monan converged and directly began to discuss the arrangement of this siege.
Seeing that the three of them had arranged all the tribes clearly between their words, Chu Mu Kunluo's face became more and more green.
This battle of plundering and siege was clearly initiated by him, okay, why is he going to become cannon fodder now?
He was irritable, but he couldn't do anything about it.
The three top leaders have a tacit alliance and directly control one-third of the troops.
No one could refuse their orders, let alone dare to refuse.
There is no more food and grass, no army is stronger, and the final outcome of the small tribe is still to become cannon fodder who can barely drink some soup.
"I'm the stupidest ......"
Chu Mu Kun Luo laughed at himself helplessly, although the Chu Mu Kun tribe is not cannon fodder for climbing the city wall to attack, but it is not much worse.
The Mukun tribe was arranged to storm the city gates, which was also not an easy task.
In this way, under the joint coordination of the three top tribes, a siege plan for Fengzhou was formulated.
A large number of Turks dispersed and began to make siege equipment in front of the defenders of Toyoshu.
"Boss, this ......"
Zhang Dazhu and Li Yan stood on the city wall together, looking at the following scene, very irritable, how could anyone watch the enemy make siege equipment and be indifferent.
Zhang Dazhu couldn't wait to snatch Ge Dahai's war pigs and rushed to kill a wave, anyway, the Turks wearing Mingguang armor couldn't easily kill themselves.
"Don't worry about them, you can't attack them."
Li Yan was still calm and did not panic.
In such a cold winter, how can it be so easy to fight, and Cheng Biting Jin felt that Fengzhou was difficult to defend before, in fact, eighty percent of it was because he had not fought a siege war in winter.
You know, in such a cold situation, even if the Turks have built a siege ladder, it is difficult to climb up.
In the face of the siege ladder, Fengzhou didn't even need to prepare too many things like rolling wood and hot oil, and directly poured a basin of cold water down, how many people could afford it?
Even if a few Turkic macho men resisted the cold water and quickly froze all over their bodies, Li Yan could organize a wave of directional bow and arrow shooting, which could basically prevent anyone from using siege ladders to climb the city wall.
Taking a step back, even if the Turks really climbed up, Li Yan's soldiers for such a long time were not in vain.
The Toyosu army has been able to react quickly and execute the most basic tactical movements, he only needs to line people up, with sword and shield hands in front and archers in the back, which is completely a new humanoid city wall.
The Turks will only face bloody slashing when they climb up.
It's a pity that all these Turks don't know, and they are still fantasizing that after breaking through Fengzhou City, they will be able to have abundant supplies and a good meal.
In this way, Li Yan allowed the Turks to withstand the severe cold and spend physical strength to build siege ladders, crashing wood and other siege equipment.
Looking at the crude siege equipment that was gradually taking shape not far away, Li Yan was worried about the Turks.
Today, there are many trees around Toyoshu, but they are blocked by heavy snow and triangular nails in the snow.
Therefore, the Turks chose nearby trees, many of which were dead trees that had long since died.
Li Yan was very curious, can the siege ladder tied up with these dead trees really work?
It won't break off with a few people, right?
Although Li Yan felt that the quality of these siege equipment was not very good, the Turks could not care about these now.
The food on their bodies can't last long, and if they can't beat Fengzhou City again, they will all have calves.
In this way, in less than an hour, the Turks launched an attack with these shoddy siege equipment!
"Kill!"
"Capture Fengzhou and take back our cattle and sheep!"
"Destroy that guard, the steppe wolf god said that he must die!"
Or to give yourself courage, or to roar in the cold to warm your body.
All in all, the momentum of the Turks is quite sufficient.
In an instant, the first group of 1,000-man siege squads launched a charge, and they quickly approached the city wall with siege ladders on their shoulders.
But it was clear that the snow that had not yet been cleared by the Turks within 500 meters of the city walls had seriously affected their advance.
"Archer, aim and fire!"
Facing the Turkic people who were moving forward at a fast pace, Li Yan asked the archers not to rush to release their arrows, but to aim first and then release their arrows as if they were usually hunting!
At this moment, although the Turks were still a little far away from the city wall, this group of archers was an elite talent that was sent out by Li Yan to hunt every day.
The Turks in the snow can move much slower than their prey, and the accuracy of the archers suddenly increases.
In just ten minutes, the Turks had already lost hundreds of men before they even sent the siege ladder to the city.
If you count the men who were so baddened by the triangular nails on the road that they lost their combat power, it can be said that the Turks had lost nearly 2,000 men before they reached the city of Fengzhou.
Such battle damage is terrifying!
