Chapter 214: The Battle of Ma Yi (Part II)
Sure enough, the Turks came to attack early the next morning, so many people died inexplicably yesterday, and today they want to take revenge, they would have thought that the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty would cover up the trap again, but they didn't expect them to dare to go out of the city to meet the battle.
"They're looking for death! Order, the first echelon went up and slaughtered them! "Ha Riman also learned to be obedient this time, he didn't dare to attack rashly before he figured out the intentions of these Sui Dynasty soldiers in front of him, after all, he had the city as a support and didn't use it, but came out to fight, isn't that looking for death? However, judging from yesterday's battle, these Sui Dynasty soldiers were not so stupid.
It's just that what made him dumbfounded was that those Sui Dynasty soldiers only made contact with his men and immediately fled back to the city in rout, and seeing that their escape route was irregular, he knew that there must be no traps.
"Rush! We must take this city this time! "This time, in order to boost morale, Hariman took the lead, and the Turkic cavalry was not covered, although the fortifications blocked, but it did not slow down their speed, and rushed towards the city.
"Archers prepare! Forty-five degrees of elevation, launch! "It doesn't matter if you don't have a crossbow bed to defend the city, against Turkic soldiers with only leather armor, bows and arrows are enough to penetrate their defenses, but the Turkic cavalry is fast, and the lethality of bows and arrows is limited. With only five projectiles, the Turkic cavalry was almost under the city.
"The archers retreat, the shieldmen on top!" Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, Qin Shubao decisively asked the archers to retreat, not to use this best shooting opportunity, but to let the shield soldiers step forward, because the Turks' cavalry and archery skills were not comparable to those of them archers.
Sure enough, after a while, the bows and arrows of the Turkic cavalry were thrown from the bottom up, and the Turks were all naturally good archers, and tens of thousands of arrows fell one after another, although there were shield soldiers to block them, but there were still some arrows that fell on the soldiers behind, bringing a burst of blood mist.
"Resist, there are not many Turkic bows and arrows, and you can counterattack if you hold on a little longer!" There are few iron mines in the Turkic territory, even if there are one or two small ones, they don't have the technology to refine, these iron weapons are still smelted from some iron pots and iron tools that were snatched during the chaos in the Central Plains, and these weapons are usually not easy to move, on the contrary, they are well maintained, everyone can have two or three iron-headed arrows, and the rest is estimated to be made of animal bones, which is no longer a fatal threat to them of all standard weapons.
After two rounds of Turkic throwing, the bow and arrow were completely dumb, but their purpose had been achieved, they had already come to the city, there were no extra siege equipment, only some ladders, but their main purpose was the city gate, as long as they could take the city gate, then the cavalry could drive straight in, provided that Qin Shubao gave them this opportunity!
"Archers shoot freely, don't save rolling stones and wood, throw them all to me to death!" The city wall is not high, and it is also very dilapidated, although it is not easy to attack and difficult to defend, but it is also very difficult to defend, but Qin Shubao calculated the time The people are estimated to have fled to Jinyang, so they don't need to spend it with the Turks here, so they don't let the soldiers save throwing those city defense equipment at all.
"My lord! We have suffered a lot of casualties, this is not a way, no matter how the city gate is pushed, it is estimated that the subordinates have completely blocked the city gate, it is no longer meaningful to attack it like this, it is better to send a force to surround here, and then the army continues to move south! A captain came back to tell him, Ha Riman just made a look, rushed out first, but found an opportunity to turn back, and said that he needed global scheduling.
"No! With so many sons dead, how can I endure this anger? Although the southerners resisted strongly, but you didn't pay attention, the southerners were very scared, and the city-defending equipment was thrown down, indicating that their commanders had no experience in defending the city at all, and it is estimated that they will have nothing to throw in a while, and I will slaughter them all then! "This is the second most difficult battle that Hariman fought, the first one was fought with Luo Yi in Zhuo County, although Luo Yi was very powerful, but he was still surrounded by them, but this is a direct siege of the city, and he has already suffered heavy losses before he has done it with real knives and guns, how to make him not angry!
However, it was destined to disappoint him, Qin Shubao was planning to give up the city, so he ordered the soldiers to go to the people's homes to move some things that could help defend the city, so although the soldiers smashed it very hard, it was not something that could be thrown away in a while! There were several times in the middle of which the Turkic soldiers attacked the head of the city, but it was quickly pressed down, after all, the walls were low, and a Turkic who did not pay attention could climb up.
The sun was high, and the battle of attack and defense was fought for a long time, and the Turks were stunned that they did not reap any benefits. "Collect the troops!" Ha Riman can't help it, so he can only recall the soldiers in Mingjin, and the consumption is quite large after attacking for half a day, it's time to rest and replenish his strength, and he is also ready to adopt the strategy of the captain just now, let go of this city, and wait for the south to get enough benefits and turn back to clean them up!
The Turkic cavalry received the order to retreat and retreated decisively, the city did not look high, but it was very difficult to gnaw, but they did not notice that the earth under their feet was shaking!
"Kill!" Suddenly, thousands of soldiers who had been waiting in the mud caves of the fortifications took advantage of the unsuspecting time of the Turks to kill them, and their knives fell, and the corpses also rolled off their horses, and the Turkic soldiers were in chaos.
"Withdraw!" With a successful blow, the general led the people to retreat quickly, and when the Turks reacted, they would definitely not be able to run, which was also planned by Qin Shubao, once he succeeded, he would immediately retreat, and retreat to the two closer city gates of the east gate or the west gate, because the north gate had been blocked, and they could not enter at all, which needed to depend on their speed, if they were caught up by the Turks, then they would only be martyred!
The city was not large, and a thousand raiding foot soldiers ran around a small half of the city, and finally returned to the city before the Turkic cavalry came up.
"Damn! These southerners, I must break them into pieces! "Being teased several times in a row, Ha Riman was quite angry, and he was going to bypass this city, but now it's not just him, even the commander who persuaded him just now didn't urge him, how could their Turkic warriors have suffered such a big loss?
The Turks collected their troops to rest to replenish food and strength, and Qin Shubao also ordered his soldiers to rest, but at this moment, a carrier pigeon landed on the head of the city.
Pulling out the creed tied to the pigeon's feet, Qin Shubao couldn't help but be happy on his face, and then ordered something!
The sun is westward, and finally it is not so poisonous, I really don't know why this time a few years ago, although the sun is also big, but it has never been so poisonous, but even this can not stop the Turkic offensive, in the face of the Turkic fierce offensive, the city defenders still do not want to kill the city defense equipment to the Turks to greet the heads. The sky slowly darkened, and the Turkic army also went crazy, attacking the city several times, and once Qin Shubao personally led the people to eliminate the Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city, which can also be seen that the Turks are really in a hurry, indeed, looking at the Shanyang City that has not been attacked for a long time, Hari Man is very aggrieved in his heart, and he swore in the morning that he would take the city, but he didn't expect this broken city to be able to hold on to this moment, which made his face go where, but under his oppression, he also made great achievements, and the number of attacks on the city became more and more.
"Mingjin!" Hariman said to the soldiers beside him, although the soldiers did not understand why their commander wanted to withdraw the troops at this time, but they still did so, the Turkic hierarchy is even stricter, and the low-level soldiers are not qualified to question their superiors.
"My lord! Why don't you let us rush up and slaughter those southerners in one go?! "Several commanders were puzzled, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops when they lost so many people and were about to take this city?
"It's a little reluctant, the sons are tired, and the enemy is waiting for work, so it's time to let the sons and daughters have a good rest, the southerners have nothing to defend the city, we are bound to win this city, there is no need to rush!" Ha Riman has been paying attention to the situation at the head of the city, just as he can see, under the urging of Qin Shubao, the equipment to defend the city has long been thrown away, and half of the archers have been removed and they don't know where to go, so the defense of the city has become very difficult. It's just that Hariman's retreat is doomed to his demise!
"The whole army retreats, don't move the flag!" Seeing the Turks retreating to recuperate, Qin Shubao seized this opportunity and decisively ordered the army to retreat. After receiving the news from the flying pigeon, he was already planning to find a time to withdraw his troops.
After a rest, the Turks regained their strength. "Sons, the southerners can't support it anymore, as long as they attack this city, I hope to spend the night in the city tonight, go to my warriors of the grassland!"
When they rushed through with murderous intensity, they were completely unfazed, which made them scratch their heads, but it did not prevent them from attacking the city, and when they attacked the city, they saw only flags all over the city, but there was no one, which made them realize that the enemy had fled.
"Want to escape? Hum! Give me chase! Don't let any of them go! "Without waiting for anyone to report, he saw the army ascend to the top of the city, opened the city gates, and Hariman also entered the good city, but the enemy had run away, and he was very dissatisfied, and he was ashamed of the snow, how could he let the enemy escape? The south gate and the west gate were blocked, and when the Turkic army ran on the road to the south gate, although the south gate was wide open, the way to it had been blocked, and tens of thousands of troops were crowded on this narrow road.
"Retreat! Retreat! Hariman suddenly came to his senses, this must be the enemy's strategy, so he decisively ordered a retreat, but it was too late, and the back road was also blocked by the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who suddenly appeared, and the Turkic soldiers were trapped on the street for several miles, "Kill out!" "The foot soldiers stopped the cavalry, and in the eyes of the Turks it was simply death.
"Since you're here, you don't have to go any further, just stay! Those who invade the territory of our Great Sui will be punished even if they are far away! At this moment, a sound came, accompanied by a rain of arrows, and it turned out that the rooftops on both sides of the street were full of archers arranged by Qin Shubao, and the foot soldiers also took the opportunity to cover up from the houses on both sides!
"Withdraw! Remove! "Hariman took the lead and fled, worthy of being a Turkic warrior who was sealed, and the foot soldiers couldn't stop it at all, but Qin Shubao didn't care, since they were all here, then could they let you run again?
"Qingzhou Dou Jiande is here! The Vulna Turkic thieves still don't go to bed with their hands alone?! At this moment, an angry roar came from the direction of the north gate. It turned out that Dou Jiande led the army to support. Qin Shubao originally planned to abandon the city and leave, but Dou Jiande's flying pigeon biography changed his attention, so he planned to set up this trap for the Turks to drill, otherwise it would be tantamount to a dream if he wanted to leave 50,000 Turkic cavalry with his 50,000 horses, but with Dou Jiande's support, everything has changed, and the Turkic soldiers who entered the city have completely become turtles in the urn, and it is a matter of time before they fall.
