Chapter 50: Attacking the city again, the situation suddenly changes

Time passed slowly, and the Turks built siege equipment against the ice and snow, and their physical strength continued to be lost in vain.

During the period when they were building siege equipment, the defenders of Toyosu fought a total of three times.

Once after the war, once in the evening, and once in the early morning of the next day.

The most devastating thing for the Turks was that the defenders of Fengzhou basically ate mutton all of a sudden, and they deliberately opened a gang on the city wall, so that the aroma of barbecue wafted into the Turkic tent.

After experiencing three consecutive "mental destructions" by the defenders of Toyoshu, the Turks finally couldn't help it.

Now that the time has come to noon the next day, the Fengzhou army was originally preparing to open as usual, but after seeing the Turks start to transport the large-scale siege equipment that was being prepared, they instantly changed their state, and Li Yan, Cheng Yanjin and others also came to the city wall again.

"The Turks have built siege towers and siege ladders, can they still hold it?"

Cheng Yanjin's face was full of worry, maybe Li Yan, who had the shoddy siege ladder yesterday, could overturn it alone.

But the siege ladder and siege tower are large equipment, and the weight and sturdiness are not at all comparable to the siege ladder of yesterday.

"Don't worry, I won't make the first move, I must consume enough troops of the Turks today."

Li Yan was still in his hands, not worried about these large-scale siege weapons at all.

You must know that in the warehouse at the foot of the city, in addition to rolling logs and falling stones, Li Yan also stored a batch of iron pieces that were ready to be used to make armor.

These are extracted directly from "Minecraft", and after extraction, they are completely irregular in shape, but the weight is almost constant, basically about 100 catties.

Maybe for other guards, these iron bumps are not very useful, but for Li Yan, it is different.

Li Yan has a physical fitness comparable to that of the "American Team" in later movies, and with the blessing of such a terrifying force, he can completely turn into a humanoid trebuchet!

As long as Li Yan is willing, he can pick up the iron at any time and give the Turks' siege equipment a precise throw, which can make the Turks' siege plan come to naught in minutes.

But Li Yan did not intend to do this, in Li Yan's plan, Fengzhou should rely on the strength of the defenders to stop the Turks from attacking the city as much as possible.

Only with this balance of power could the Toyosu army inflict a large number of casualties on the Turks based on the advantage of defending the city.

After all, once Li Yan made a move, he was afraid that he would instantly crush the Turks' determination to attack the city, and Li Yan's next plan would not be easy to operate at that time.

"Eh......"

Cheng Yanjin obviously didn't believe Li Yan's statement, although he believed that Li Yan's force was unparalleled, but he didn't believe that Li Yan could solve the siege equipment alone.

Since ancient times, no one has been able to resist the enemy's siege with their own force!

"Water attack, arrows, rolling wood and rocks."

Seeing that about 2,000 Turks had launched a charge, Li Yan naturally calmly commanded the battle to defend the city.

This time, the huge ladder cart was located under the city of Fengzhou, and the stable triangular structure made it easy for the Turks to maintain stability.

The wider ladder allowed the Turks to climb the city walls in three parallel pairs.

At the same time, the siege towers were also in place, and the two towers, which were only slightly shorter than the city walls, slowly moved in the direction of Toyoshu.

After waiting for a similar position, directly assuming the wooden ladder, the Turks can climb the tower and sprint directly to the city wall.

"Kill!"

"Kill all the defenders and eat mutton!"

"Destroy the Toyosu guard!"

The cannon fodder of a group of small tribes has reached the point of exhaustion, and if they can't capture Fengzhou today, I'm afraid that they won't be far from starving to death.

The cannon fodder began to kill the defenders on the city wall with the belief of surviving the death.

"The throwers withdraw, the sword and shield soldiers line up, and the archers prepare."

Li Yan removed the people who threw rolling wood and rocks on the edge of the city wall, and directly let the elite battalion that had been trained for a long time line up on the city wall and began to face the attack of the Turks!

Three meters away from the head of the wall, the sword and shield soldiers stood firmly in two rows, and the people at the front held solid wooden heavy shields to resist stubbornly, and the elite battalion teams were beginning to command independently.

"Shield, sword!"

"Shield, sword!"

……

Repetitive and mechanical commands were issued, and the sword and shield men in the front row instantly turned into ruthless slaughter machines.

An extremely excited Turkic cannon fodder had just climbed the city wall when he saw a wall of heavy shields that fit perfectly.

He couldn't understand what the heavy shield wall was for, he only heard the people on the ladder behind him still urging.

He drew his scimitar and aimed it at the shield wall and slashed at it.

The scimitar had almost no effect on the heavy shield, and the next moment, a gap suddenly split between the heavy shields, and a cold light flickered, and the Turkic man took the knife with his face, instantly lost consciousness, and fell to the ground in a daze.

The next moment, the heavy shield was closed, and a new group of Turks climbed up from the ladder, and then the sword and shield soldiers continued to repeat the slaughter.

This is the meaning of Li Yan's military training!

Li Yan trained the physical fitness of the sword and shield soldiers, so that they could use solid wood heavy shields.

And long-term training has given them an almost instinctive reflex to order and forbid.

This is already a long time ago, and now the merciless slaughter on the edge of the city walls.

"Good soldier!"

Cheng Yanjin was staring in front of him, he originally thought that after the Turks climbed the city wall, the Fengzhou army could only exchange their lives with them, he never thought that the soldiers trained by Li Yan would be so strong.

After several rounds of slashing, the Turks left at least 300 corpses on the walls of Fengzhou, but the Fengzhou army itself did not even have any wounded.

"It's a pity that the walls of Toyosu are not thick enough......"

Cheng Yanjin shook his head helplessly after giving birth to a glimmer of hope, he felt very pity.

If this city is not called Fengzhou, but Luoyang or Chang'an, there is really hope that this city will be defended.

It's a pity that the thickness of the walls of Toyoshu is only two zhang, that is, less than seven meters wide.

With such a thickness, as long as the Turks are not afraid of death and use human lives to pile up, a maximum of 3,000 people is enough to make the height of the corpse pile spread beyond the height of the heavy shield, and then the sword and shield soldiers will have no way to retreat, and the city wall will inevitably be lost.

"Take a step back, move!"

Cheng Yanjin was right, after the pile of corpses in front of him became higher, the commanders of the various departments of the sword and shield soldiers began to give orders.

Take a step back, widen the space ahead, and make room for the new cannon fodder to lie down.

At this moment, it seems that it is still the advantage of the defenders, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it will not be long before this city wall will be undefended.

"Second batch, attack!"

At the same time, outside the city, orders were again delivered from the temporary tents of the Turks.

Most of the first 2,000 people have rushed to the city walls, but there is a feeling of mud cows entering the sea.

Fengzhou did not have any intention of breaking the city, but the Turks who rushed to the city wall, and there was no movement at the moment, as if they were dead.

It is precisely because of this that the second group of people from the small tribe who were used as cannon fodder finally quit, and the situation changed abruptly.

"Our tribe quit, let's stop fighting, we have to go back to the tribe to recuperate, maybe there is still a possibility of survival!"

The leaders of several small tribes made a decision after glancing at each other.
