Chapter 49: A City Apart, Heaven and Hell
Under the control of Li Yan's god-like power, this group of attacking Turks was completely frightened and announced the rout of the first round of siege.
At this moment, in the temporary tents of the Turks, everyone's faces turned ugly.
They couldn't figure out what Li Yan's terrifying power was all about, was this really the power that people could have?
Pulled by four or five people, forcibly upside down and hanging the siege ladder of several people, this power has to be a thousand catties, right?
"Who is that man? Isn't the defender of Fengzhou Hou Junji? Who the hell is this! ”
The leader of a small tribe was on the verge of collapse, and his tribe had suffered the heaviest losses in the attack just now.
He brought with him all the combat strength of the tribe, a thousand people, and after this battle, less than five hundred of the thousand people returned, and even those who came back were all wounded and had a psychological shadow on the siege.
"Whoever he is! It's just that we're not prepared enough! Build siege ladders and siege towers, I don't believe that this Tang general can still overturn the ladder! ”
The leader of the Chuyue tribe does not believe in evil at all, in his opinion, Li Yanqiang is stronger, but he can pull out the siege ladder so strongly, and there is also an element that the quality of the siege ladder itself is not good.
Coupled with the lack of physical strength of the people of the small tribe besieging the city, this will be easily overturned.
Now he is ready to suspend the battle for a day and wait for the siege equipment to be completely perfected before continuing to attack Fengzhou City.
In this way, the two sides temporarily entered a truce, the Turks temporarily rested in temporary camps, and Toyosu entered a state of regular defense.
"The Turks shouldn't be attacking today, let's take a break and rest, there will be war tomorrow after eating and drinking."
Li Yan saw from afar that the Turks began to clear the snow and open the way like a place where trees gathered, and naturally understood the thoughts of the Turks.
They are supposed to be building large siege engines, and there is a high probability that there will be no more battles until the siege equipment is complete.
"Let the Huotou battalion come to the city wall to make a fire, roast a few more sheep, and let the Turks ask about the taste."
While Li Yan retreated from the city wall, he once again dealt a spiritual blow to the Turks.
Now the appearance of the Turks is that they lack food and clothing, and eighty percent of what they eat is dry food made from plundered grains.
Li Yan wanted to roast the sheep he got from them in front of the Turks, and fiercely stimulate the fragile hearts of a wave of Turks.
"Boss, high!"
Zhang Dazhu patted a wave of Li Yan's horses at the right time.
"Let's go, go back to the camp to rest, go to the city wall tomorrow morning, the Turks will definitely attack tomorrow during the day."
Li Yan was very sure of the time of the next siege of the Turks.
According to the construction time of the large siege equipment, even if they work overnight, they will not be able to complete the construction until the sun rises tomorrow.
As for the sneak attack in the middle of the night, it's really not that Li Yan looks down on the Turks, they dare to sneak attack in the middle of the night in this kind of weather, it is really a basin of cold water that can teach them to be people.
You must know that in the north today, the temperature difference between day and night is at least more than ten degrees!
They couldn't stand the attack of cold water during the day, let alone at night.
(The water comes from the deep well in the city, as written above, don't freeze, the well water is not so easy to freeze)
In this way, the two sides began to live very different lives across the walls of Toyoshu.
Outside the city, the Turks withstood the bitter cold, and when they were thirsty, they took the snow and put it in their mouths to melt, and when they were hungry, they took out two bites of dry food, and then reluctantly put it away and stored the few grains.
In the city, the fire head camp came to the city wall, lit a fire and began to roast mutton.
One lamb after another was slaughtered in the city and then transported to the city walls, where it gradually transformed from raw meat to golden......
At this moment, on the city wall, Wu Ding, who was transferred to the Huotou camp by Hou Jun after arranging inspections indiscriminately because of jealousy of Li Yan, was roasting mutton with emotion.
"Eh, I was stupid at the beginning, Li Yan is such a good person, I ...... it all"
Wu Ding regretted his original actions, and while looking at the miserable situation of the Turks outside the city, and then looking at the lives of the soldiers in the city, Wu Ding's repentance in his heart became more and more intense.
Under the strong self-blame, Wu Ding's action of roasting mutton became more and more conscientious, vowing to repent of his original sins with actions, so that the soldiers of Fengzhou could eat the roasted mutton.
"Wu Ding! It's a good bake, and the brothers in Camp A love your craft! ”
"Yes, thanks to the guy for training!"
……
The wind blew lightly, and immediately brought the smell of roast mutton on the city wall to the temporary tent of the Turks.
Sniffing this familiar smell of the past, almost all the Turks swallowed with difficulty, and then took a bite of the dry food in anger.
"It's all to blame on the chief, if he hadn't sold so many sheep from the tribe in the first place, how could we have fallen into this."
"yes, if those sheep are still ......"
"Eh......"
Many people have a feeling of complaining in their hearts.
They apparently didn't think about it, even if there were enough cattle and sheep in the tribe, most of them would still freeze to death in the winter.
In the final analysis, the Turks were nomadic people and did not have the conditions to build buildings for cattle and sheep to protect them from the cold.
In order to prepare for the snow disaster, Li Yan had some of the lambs slaughtered early to make cured mutton, and some of the remaining sheep were kept warm in temporary buildings.
Under the living conditions of complete unequal soldiers on both sides, two different emotions began to emerge.
The soldiers of Toyosu were grateful to Li Yan, and at the same time strengthened their determination to protect Toyozhou to the death.
The Turks, on the other hand, planted seeds in the army with a strong sense of resentment, and many complained about their leaders, and at the same time complained that the people of the three tribes used them as cannon fodder.
The most frightening thing is that in the temporary tents of the Turks, the people of the three major tribes are engaged in a behavior that is increasingly exacerbating this contradiction.
At this moment, the rations of the people of the three major tribes are still sufficient, and they even bring some air-dried beef and mutton to improve their diet.
On the other hand, those small tribes, who were already seriously short of dry food, could only look at their compatriots not far away, longing for them to see that they could share some food while everyone was also Turkic.
It's a pity that sympathy is always the most difficult emotion for grassland people to be born.
They only pay attention to the law of the jungle, and since the people of the small tribe do not have the ability to obtain food, they should go hungry themselves.
If there is still no food tomorrow, then obediently go as cannon fodder!
No one cared about the life or death of the small tribesmen, they just silently hid the air-dried beef and mutton they carried.
"Damn the big tribe!"
"I really envy the Tang people of Fengzhou......"
"I want to eat lamb too......"
The small tribe of Turkic people wailed silently, and no one cared......
