Yan Du sighed, ordered the soldiers to strengthen their precautions, and said goodbye to Zhuo Ye's way.
Yan Du really overestimated Hyun, at this time, only Jiang Wu, Ah Rislan, Ningxi, Huang Shen were checked on the city wall, Hyun and Ningyu went to the city wall to walk around, and they couldn't see anything famous, so they went back to the house to chat.
Ashina also stood in a safe place, looked at the people on the city wall, looked around, didn't seem to see anyone with a black face, and asked his lieutenant:
"Have you seen Zhuo Ye?"
The lieutenant shook his head:
"I heard that Zhuo Ye has a black face, but these people on the city wall are all white-faced, could it be that Zhuo Ye didn't come, but Xiao Zhuo Ye came?"
Ashina frowned, in addition to Xiao Zhuo Ye coming, there is another possibility, that is, no matter how big or small, he didn't come, only the flag, because the "Zhuo" flag also has a certain deterrent effect.
Thinking about it, Ashina rubbed his head irritably:
"Hey, that's annoying!" He walked to his tent and said to his lieutenant, "Repair for a day, and attack the city tomorrow!" ”
Jiang Wu looked at the city wall and estimated that there were more than 20,000 people.
Ning Xi asked Jiang Wu in confusion:
"Ashina Yandu will bring more than 20,000 people to attack us?"
Jiang Wu frowned and didn't answer, Huang Shen said:
"It can't be that when attacking the Qi Kingdom, the losses are too much."
Areslan looked at the two of them:
"Hairy boy!"
As soon as he finished saying this, a gust of wind blew the dust raised by Ashina Yandu and them, and Arislan took out a handkerchief from somewhere, pinched it with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and the other two fingers cocked, waving the handkerchief in disgust, driving away the dust:
"Really, a bunch of savages! Make such a big ash! Can't you just move around slowly? Hate to death! ”
Ningxi and Huang Shen wanted to ask why they were hairy boys, but seeing Arislan like this, they shrunk their shoulders and slipped off the city wall, so let's go and ask Hyun, or when Arislan is not there, ask Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu looked at Arislan, walked up to him and asked:
"What do the Arislan brothers think? Do you also think they still have reinforcements? ”
At this time, Arislan no longer waved his handkerchief, but covered his mouth, and said angrily:
"There should be reinforcements, they have come to attack us since they finished attacking the Qi country, there must be some troops who have not returned to the Turks, it is said that the troops attacking the Qi country are as many as 200,000, in addition to the troops of the Great Zhou, how can there be 100,000, even if there are losses, when they return to the Turks, when they come here again, they will definitely be 100,000 again."
He looked down at the city walls.
After so many years of contact and study with the Han people, the nomadic army also has infantry, but it is still dominated by cavalry, so the city wall of the Tuxi Department is not as strong as that of the Han people.
Arislan patted the city wall and looked at the Turkic garrison with some concern:
"Our Tuxi Department has really been stable for too long."
It's rare that Arislan doesn't have a mother, but Jiang Wu is still a little uncomfortable when he looks at it.
On the other side, Ashina Yan said that he would repair for a day, but he was not idle, he didn't know that Zhuo Ye would come before, and now he had to rethink his tactics, and discussed with several generals for almost a day.
The figure of the sun slowly emerges from the horizon, and a new day arrives.
Because the Tuxi Department is protected by the city wall, it does not take the initiative to provoke a battle, and taking the initiative to provoke a battle means leaving the city wall, and in the face of such a powerful opponent as the Turks, Jiang Wu and Azhislan They can't do it to the extent of underestimating the enemy, and they are all preparing for war on the city wall.
Ashina Yandu didn't sleep well all night, and when he heard a noise in the camp, he also got up and left the tent.
After the teams were ready, Ashina nodded to several generals, and the generals took the soldiers, kicked up a cloud of dust, and ran to the border city of Tuxi, Ashina stood at the gate of the camp with his hands, watching these Turkic warriors go to the battlefield.
On the city wall, the soldier in charge of the lookout saw a cloud of dust rising not far away, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"The Turks are coming! The Turks are coming! ”
Hearing this alarm, the soldiers all hid behind the battlements and prepared for battle.
As the dust approached rapidly, a clearer and clearer vibration sound was felt under my feet.
Azhislan felt it and said:
"Not all of them."
Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Arislan in surprise, Arislan in the battle really became a male lion, and he was also a male lion holding his anger, even Jiang Wu felt the dangerous information transmitted from him.
Swallowing saliva:
"How did the Arislan brothers know?"
Arislan looked at Jiang Wu like an idiot:
"More than 20,000 horses running, can this be the feeling? ”
Then, he glanced at Jiang Wu very charmingly.
What a lion, what a lion who is holding back the fire, what dangerous information, with this glance, all dissipated.
Jiang Wu sighed secretly:
Arislan is still the same Arislan.
What Arislan said was right, Yandu did not press all his troops, and now is not the time for a decisive battle, so he sent about 5,000 horsemen, just to explore the truth.
As the Turkic army approached at any time, everyone also estimated the approximate number of people, and Ningxi said to Jiang Wu:
"Ashina Yandu sent these people here to explore the truth, are we going to beat them back?"
Jiang Wu cautiously turned his head sideways, observing the Turkic army from the battlement:
"Call back? Zhuo Ye often said that he had to learn to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and if he was too strong, he wouldn't come, so what should he do if he thought about attacking from other aspects? Gotta lead them to attack only here. ”
Ajislan was still thinking about what it meant to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and Jiang Wu bumped into him:
"The Arislan brothers' archery skills are very powerful, and I have to ask the Arislan brothers for something."
The Turks have cooperated with the Great Zhou and fought with the Qi State, and the predecessors of these two countries are the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the Turks know how powerful the bullets and crossbows are and how strong they are to survive on the battlefield.
They also bought some bullet crossbows from Da Zhou, this time they brought a few, and after experiencing it in actual combat, if it is good, they will buy it from Da Zhou again, and several main generals will touch the bullet crossbows behind their backs, ready to show their skills.
The army was still rushing forward, and after entering the range of the siege crossbow, a general led the team to stop, parked the carriage pulling the siege crossbow in a suitable position, and then, attacking the city wall, one by one the crossbow arrows were nailed into the city wall, these crossbow arrows, not only to attack the city wall, but also to the soldiers behind, to build a way to the city.
The soldiers of the Kun Yu Kingdom on the city wall were dumbfounded when the crossbow arrow hit the wall.
Jiang Wu looked at the battlement, patted the wall again, and looked at Arislan with round eyes:
"Your walls have cut corners! Absolutely cutting corners! ”
Azhislan glanced at him charmingly, didn't answer, and tilted his head to observe the outside.
