Chapter 121: The Siege of Human Lives
Gaba's knife not only raised the soldier's anger to the top, but also minimized the prestige of Gaba.
If a lord will slash and kill soldiers at will, what will this lord use to gain their allegiance?
There was no mutiny yet, but the Overseers behind Gaba were suppressing it.
Once there is a fuse, it will definitely be out of control.
The siege continued, and after tasting the joy of breaking the opponent's first trap in the first battle.
Gaba became even more arrogant, feeling that he was blessed by the gods and would definitely win this battle.
Gaba waved his hand to the cavalry to clear the way, and the infantry followed closely to attack the city gate, trying to take the city directly.
The cavalry had no way to attack the city, so they could only rely on the infantry to attack the city gates.
The cavalry used their cavalry and archery ability to suppress the northern frontier city from afar, and they were no longer afraid of the opponent's "heavenly thunder".
Except once that day. It hasn't been seen again.
The ground of the road in front of the city gate had already been hollowed out into a ditch, and it was impossible to bear too much weight.
So many infantry charged on it, and all at once the ground was trampled, and all the infantry who rushed to the front fell into the ditch.
The infantry in the back couldn't stop either, and the ones in the back pushed the front and fell into it like dumplings.
The ditch was drenched in blood, a large piece of broken hands and short legs, people kept falling, and those who did not die at the bottom of the mat were also stoned to death.
Gradually, the infantry stopped advancing, and the infantry standing at the front looked at the scene in the pit in front of them.
They all wanted to retreat with weak legs, but the people behind them were still there, and they couldn't retreat at all.
The worst part is that the backmost Overseers are desperate to let them rush forward!
The infantry had to go around the ditch and continue on their way, but they didn't have the same sprint speed as they had started.
The cavalry was still shooting arrows to suppress the men on the city walls, preventing them from coming forward.
Although this makes it impossible for the defenders of the city to easily attack the people under the city, the arrows are also very badly consumed.
On the city wall, Xuanyuan Hanmo looked at the other party's offensive, and he was quite helpless, and he was most afraid of killing the master with this kind of random punch.
To fill a path with human life, this practice does not take human life seriously in the slightest.
Xuanyuan Hanmo had a violent aversion to this master general in his heart, and he only had the urge to slash and kill this master general.
Originally, everyone is their own master, you attack the city, I defend the city, life and death have their own destiny, but if you trample on human life casually, it will be different, I will only despise you.
As the number of infantry continued to decrease, the ditches and craters surrounding the northern city were trampled out for them.
Looking at the big pits in front of them, the soldiers on the Turkic side couldn't help frowning.
There are a lot of big pits and small pits, which completely restrain the strategy of their cavalry, even if the infantry fills them, they can't fill these pits!
Gabba didn't think too much about it, now that the infantry has found a way, let's take advantage of the victory and pursue it!
Kogaba didn't notice that the infantry were no longer numerous enough to ram the gates.
What's more, if you only rely on these pits to defend the city, then Xuanyuan Hanmo can buy tofu to collide.
The group of infantry rushed a hundred meters closer to the city gates, and wooden javelins were fired from every lookout on the wall.
Strung the approaching infantry into a string and crucified them to the ground.
What is the most on this side of Northern Xinjiang? Wood!
In order to defend the city for this step, Xuanyuan Hanmo almost cut down a forest.
In order to be worthy of the bare forest, Xuanyuan Hanmo asked the javelin-shooting soldiers to aim a little, not to waste it.
After all, they can't go out and pick it up.
Yes, can't get out! Fifty meters from the main entrance has been dug a "moat", artificial.
There was no water underneath, only wooden thorns.
The "moat" also has a layer of camouflage, and you can't see it at all if you don't step on it.
As the javelins continued to be fired, the number of Turkic infantry dead rose dramatically, and they were almost dead!
Gaba also had to let them come back, and if they went any further, they would all die, and he would not be able to explain it.
Gaba wants to withdraw the infantry, but is Xuanyuan Hanmo willing?
One by one, the fiery javelins were shot out and stuck in the ditch behind, causing a violent flame.
It turned out that this piece of ground had already been sprinkled with oil, and it burned immediately when it encountered flames.
As the infantry retreated towards the flames, the infantry, which had been stuck to the flames, fell into the ditch.
A fire was also lit in the ditch, and the corpses were used as fuel, and the flames burned the corpses in the ditch along with the people who were not dead.
This day was a nightmare for the Turkic army, and it was also a day when everyone in the northern Xinjiang city realized the strength of Xuanyuan Hanmo.
Covering his mouth and nose, Xuanyuan Hanmo stood on the city wall and looked at the flames that were still burning.
The Turkic armies have retreated.
Looking at the flames, Xuanyuan Hanmo's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Although it is not the first time that he has killed someone, this day was particularly cruel and there were many people.
A hand was clapped on Xuanyuan Hanmo's shoulder, and it was Lan Zhenghe who saw Xuanyuan Hanmo looking at the flames in a daze.
As a leader of the army for so many years, how can you not see what your grandson is thinking?
"The battlefield is like this, you get used to it when you see more, you don't have to blame yourself, you are worthy of everyone in Beijiang City, remember that they are enemies, if they don't die, we will die!"
After speaking, he patted Xuanyuan Hanmo on the shoulder twice and left, leaving his grandson to stay by himself for a while.
Xuanyuan Hanmo knew what his grandfather meant, and he also understood that the enemy did not die, which meant that he died.
Closing his eyes, Liu Yun's smile appeared in his mind, and Nalan Lan pouted angrily, and finally Nalan looked at him majestically.
Xuanyuan Hanmo opened his eyes, muttering that he had the hell, and he actually saw the grumpy woman.
Taking another look at the flames burning outside the city, Xuanyuan Hanmo left the city wall and went back to sleep.
After all, he is not a great good person, and it is good to be able to regret it for a while.
The flames burned until the next day, although in this battle, the northern frontier city was defended with one wound.
And the unlucky guy who was injured was injured because he stepped on the wrong foot and rolled down the city wall.
This battle led half of the things that Xuanyuan Hanmo had arranged, and the traps were almost all exposed.
The rest of the backhand can't be used now, and it must wait for the arrival of a million troops before it can be used.
Xuanyuan Hanmo's move has already been laid out, just waiting for the other party to break it.
Regulus didn't think the pits would hold them back for long, and the ditches were within javelin's range.
But if the other party wants to move sand to fill it, it can be filled up quickly.
It's easier to trap a horse pit, and it will be flat if you step on it a few times.
And although there are many javelins, they will be used up one day, not to mention that it is really cold to rely on javelins to defend the city alone!
Xuanyuan Hanmo, who was lying on the bed, was thinking about how to defend the city, and at the same time looking forward to Xuanyuan Xiong coming with rescuers.
"Report! The enemy has already started to move, and now the ring of the trap has been trampled on! ”
It's fast!
