Chapter 343 Watching Others Fight
"Big brother, this siege is too bad, it's been half a day, and it hasn't been captured yet, it seems that they are going to make a truce, do they have to fight again tomorrow?"
"Alright, without further ado, let's find a place to camp first, fortunately we have a tent with us."
In fact, Yang Qiao didn't expect that this siege battle would be so difficult, in one day, it couldn't be attacked, this is still the premise that the opponent's defensive strength is very small, no wonder he said in some, some offensive and defensive battles will last for more than a month, that, it is estimated that the reason why the city wall is a little high, the city wall in front of him should not reach that level, maybe, it will be captured tomorrow.
"Big brother?"
The stinky boy still wants to know the answer.
"I can't say this, but you should have heard it from your father, and I, according to my calculations, will break the city tomorrow, tomorrow at noon."
"Oh!"
The stinky boy went to think slowly.
"Brother, look, the rabbits and pheasants I called, there are not many prey here, could it be that they were also scared away?"
"Well, I guess, you see how much they are riding and what prey can be around here."
"Brother, I'm really a little greedy when I look at their food!"
"Little sister, just now, how far have you gone?"
"Not far away, I just went behind them to take a look, originally, I wanted to catch a sheep over, but I saw a lot of defensive forces, so I didn't catch it, brother, you don't know, they actually brought so many cows, sheep, you say, are they a tribe here, how can there be old people and children or something?"
Actually, Yang Qiao couldn't answer this, he really hadn't studied the battle of the grassland tribe.
"I guess, they go to war, these old people and children are for grazing and even taking care of cattle and sheep, this is their food, adult men, should all participate in the war, once they join the war, they can't take care of this food."
"Oh, then why did we go to war with only 20,000 men?"
The stinky boy was also a little puzzled on the side.
"It's not that we have 20,000 people, don't you see, I handed over almost all the logistics to those merchants, otherwise, our logistics, there are a lot, although our means of transportation are more advanced, but this logistics, is still very manpower."
"Oh, I said, big brother, you let those merchants take such a big advantage!"
"Okay, stop talking, let's rest, I'll be on duty first with my clothes, then my little sister, and finally you, the boy."
…………
There was nothing to say all night, and before Yang Qiao and the others got up, there was already a sky-shattering shout outside, and this siege battle actually started before dawn.
Don't they have night blindness?
In fact, Yang Qiao didn't know that this night, their craftsmen were not idle, but made siege equipment all night, and the defenders of the city, this night, did not sleep well, but demolished the house to prepare the materials for defense, yesterday half a day, the defensive equipment in the city, basically consumed, it can be seen how fierce the offensive and defensive battle was at that time, both sides were ruthless, so there was no end to the first day of the attack, and the defense did not get benefits.
Withdraw, where to withdraw, the gates of the city were surrounded on all sides.
"Kill!"
With the shouts, this offensive and defensive battle began again, but this arrow is obviously much rarer, and it seems that their arrows should be about to run out.
Therefore, the ladder was quickly erected at the head of the city.
"Ah, bah, what the hell is this, my eyes!"
"Hey, yes, this kind of defensive equipment is good, and if you throw it down together, it can make a lot of people fall!"
Stinky boy, this is hilarious.
"What, oh, I see!"
Yang Qiao raised the telescope and looked carefully, only to find that what they threw was a clod of soil, a clod?
It's a clod of soil, it should be said that it was demolished and demolished, I didn't see it, the beams of the house were thrown down, and this clod of soil was thrown down, isn't it normal!
Perhaps, they found it inadvertently when they demolished the house, or maybe some large families had stronger houses.
This clod of soil is just when the wall is built with soil, because it is built in sections, naturally, when the wall is demolished, it will be a square by block, so they actually used it to defend the city wall, and the dirt blinded the eyes, which was also the result they did not expect, this was thrown down, especially the earthen walls of those old houses, the cracks inside were filled with some choking dust, so some of the besiegers suffered, although this dust will not kill, but once they lose their eyes, they will be frightened. This is on a high ladder, naturally, as soon as you are frightened, you will be frightened, and if this person falls, it will hit a large area.
This is lively to watch, and this defense, there is such a saying, no wonder that sometimes, very few people will defend a city for many days, this thing, there will always be accidents.
However, it's a pity, earlier, Yang Qiao said that this city wall is a little short, so the strength of this defense is still a lot weaker, and in less than half a day, the city head has almost been lost.
Therefore, at this time, the battle has been transferred to the city wall, fortunately, the city wall is wide enough, but it still can't be done, so the weapons on both sides are unified with waist knives, or short weapons similar to waist knives, what, long weapons, you can't use them on the city wall!.
This is a real bloody battle, it is really a knife and a blood, the armor, it has long been thrown away, this battle is white-hot, and let the armor get in the way, perhaps, in ground combat, there will be armor, but, siege battles, and defensive battles, the armor is in the way, at most, you will wear a leather armor.
"Look, look, look, the city gate is open, it's open, big brother, you are right, this city will be breached after noon."
"Look at it carefully, what are you yelling about, when did my brother say something wrong."
The little sister rolled her eyes and reprimanded the stinky boy.
At this time, Xiaomei was very curious about this big battle, and she didn't feel disgusted.
"It's in town, we're back, there's nothing to see."
Seeing the city gate open, Yang Qiao knew that this battle had come to an end, and he also knew that the Khitans and the Turks had suffered heavy casualties, and the people in this city had no good end, which was also one of the reasons why Yang Qiao asked them to participate, he, there was no way to kill casually, but these two tribes were not so merciful, in front of the Tang Dynasty, they were killed, but in front of the Goguryeo people, they were still very strong, not to mention, there is still a Tang Dynasty standing behind!
"Big brother?"
"Why, you still want to go and watch?"
Yang Qiao looked at the stinky boy's crystalline little eyes and felt funny, which stimulated his aggressive factor.
"But, no, if you enter the city, it will be even worse, you still don't want to watch it, besides, the battle in the city, there is really nothing to see, go back, maybe, we can still keep up with my brother-in-law's footsteps and participate in the next battle!"
"General, tonight, we will set off, and I think you can go and receive that city tomorrow."
When Yang Qiao was about to come back, Changsun Chong was saying goodbye to Li Jing.
"Why, it's so fast, how are you going to fight?"
Li Jing felt a little strange, although there were not many defenders on the other side, but they didn't attack it so quickly!
"Hey, General, isn't there No. 4 logistics materials, and the catapults have been modified, which can be easily disassembled and then transported by horse-drawn transportation, so I am ready to directly carry out siege operations, and then take the city in one fell swoop, as well as those logistics personnel who follow, I have arranged for them to intercept on the road, this, they should be very active, all they catch is money, and this run, there is a lot of money to carry, and Da Lang said, as long as the money out of the city, they can be looted, No one can say anything about this. ”
Yes, the people in the city are the residents, and those who run out of the city are slaves, and the slaves' things are not just robbed!
"Well, if that's the case, I'll follow you to have a look?"
This Li Ji is also curious, this new weapon is really so powerful, so he wants to see it with his own eyes.
