Chapter 227: Bloody Battle in Gaochang City

In the face of such a huge killing, the soldiers of the firearms battalion found that the morale of the enemy did not collapse today, although their eyes were full of fear, but none of them dared to retreat, and they were stabbed with spears, slashed with knives, and doused with oil by the firearms battalion, but they did not flinch, and every enemy who climbed up to the city had red eyes, like wild beasts, and launched a decisive attack on the Tang army like crazy.

At last an enemy stood above the city, not only under the walls, but also in the camp with earth-shattering cheers. Although they were quickly stabbed down by the Tang army's spears, this symbolic action gave them greater courage, and more and more enemies rushed to the city, and in the expectant eyes of Sambu, Yibi Ahun, and Reyeji, they heard the sound of killing at the head of the city.

On the horse road at the head of Gaochang City, the supporting Tang army ran in full armor with spears in hand, and quickly entered the battle and fought with the enemy troops who climbed the city wall.

There are only a few dozen enemies who climb up to the top of the city, and their task is to fight with the defenders of the city, and buy time for the people behind them with their lives, until more and more people climb the top of the city, kill the defenders and seize the head of the city and then rush to the city.

It's a pity that they encountered the most elite firearms battalion, and they didn't pay any attention to these dozens of people after experiencing the impact of the cavalry, and they walked neatly and stabbed directly with their spears. The enemy troops on the walls had no successor, no new forces to replenish, and were quickly killed by the soldiers of the firearms battalion.

Seeing that there was no sound at the head of the city, Sambu and the others sighed regretfully: "The morale has been lost, and I am tired, so retreat first, and continue to attack with substitutions!" ”

Before the defenders of the city, who had defeated the enemy, had time to catch their breath, they heard the drums of war in the enemy's camp again, and the second wave of the enemy rushed out again. Li Dongsheng hurriedly asked the reserve defenders to come up and change the defense, the enemy rotated, and he had to change himself, and the enemy's main general had already made up his mind to break through Gaochang City today. Today is destined to be an uphill battle.

As soon as the city wall was replaced, the enemy's second round of siege had begun, this battle was white-hot at the beginning, more intense than the first time, the enemy's main general he already knew that Gaochang City was not so easy to fight, he simply let go of his hands and feet, and directly used the tactics of not killing to launch a fierce attack on the Tang army at the head of the city, it is estimated that he knew that there were not many Tang soldiers, and directly exchanged his life with the Tang army to play with his life.

Li Dongsheng was covered in blood, but it was someone else's, he ran back and forth on the road at the head of the city, loudly issuing orders, and he was busy defending the city for the first time. Daniel Zhang followed closely behind him, holding a spear in his hand to help stab people from time to time, and also to prevent someone from injuring his young master with a secret arrow.

Where the eyes can see on the head of the city, there are corpses and stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there are wounded soldiers who are screaming in a pool of blood, but no one looks at them at all, the offensive and defensive sides are still fighting desperately, but because the Tang army is well equipped, the casualties are much less than the enemy's, but Li Dongsheng is also very distressed, these are all seeds, after a few battles, they are all people who are in charge, but it is a pity that they are lost in the city in a foreign land.

It wasn't until the sun had completely set and they couldn't see their hands clearly, that there was a sound of gold from the enemy troops outside the city, and the enemy troops besieging the city retreated like a low tide, leaving thousands of corpses behind.

After checking that the enemy had completely retreated, Li Dongsheng felt that he had no strength at all, and the defenders at the head of the city were the same, everyone sat weakly on the ground, ignoring the blood-stained corpses on the ground, and did not want to move at all.

Yu Chi Baolin led the gendarmerie to carry the corpses of the Tibetans and Turks down the city wall, and many wounded soldiers who were not dead were also carried down and thrown down, listening to their screams and then touching them, and some people snatched this job with great interest, and threw people down in groups of two, listening to their screams, in order to vent their hatred.

Qiao Shiwang went up to the city wall with food, looked at the exhausted Li Dongsheng and said, "The battle is so fierce, how many days can we hold it?" ”

"It's hard to say, depending on the enemy's siege intensity, their siege at any cost will not last long. Thousands of deaths a day, how long can they last tens of thousands of people. Li Dongsheng took a bite of the cake and said, "How many hole cards do we still have?" ”

"Don't you have firearms? Why didn't I see you use it today? Qiao Shiwang said curiously: "Isn't it easier for you to defend the city?" ”

"That's a big killer, Your Majesty means let us drag them to death under Gaochang City. The enemy wants to fight quickly, we can't do what they want, what if we scare them away too soon? Li Dongsheng was so tired that he didn't want to speak, and he shouted hoarse after shouting in his throat for a day: "And the effect is not good when I use it when I defend the city." ”

Qiao Shiwang looked at the city with a pungent smell of blood, those soldiers were sitting in the blood stain and devouring food, the ground was full of severed limbs, and suddenly felt a wave of nausea, he was used to enjoying the wealth and glory, he was not used to seeing such a bloody scene, he said to Li Dongsheng: "Your Majesty will hand over the task of guarding the city to you, I will not be in the way here, anyway, my life is all in your hands, haha!" Qiang laughed a few times, and hurried down the tower.

Looking at the waning moon on the horizon, Li Dongsheng sighed that this lonely city had been held for another day, and it was only two days before it was so tired, and it was not easy to drag it out for at least a month.

The snoring sound was already ringing at the head of the city, and everyone was really tired. Some people were still biting the big cake in their mouths, but they were already asleep, and at this time, Xi Junmai took the new army to the city to change the defense, and woke them up to sleep below.

Seeing Li Dongsheng, who was covered in blood, he came over and asked with concern: "Master Hou, you bloody ,,,,?"

"Not my blood." Li Dongsheng looked at him and asked, "What about our casualties?" ”

Xi Junmai said gloomily: "More than 200 died, more than 300 were seriously injured, and dozens of seriously injured people are estimated to not survive tonight." ”

"In just two days, we have been killed and wounded, no wonder the siege is the most brutal." Li Dongsheng said lightly: "We are so well prepared and there are so many casualties, the Tubo coalition army estimates that the casualties are several times that of ours, I don't know what kind of mood they are in now?" Will you use this method tomorrow? ”。

"I estimate that the enemy is a three-plate axe, and it is estimated that it will take three days to attack the city like this, and no matter how many more he can't bear such a large number of casualties, those soldiers will not attack like this. Now we're just going to have to withstand these few days. As long as you get through it, it's easy. ”

Li Dongsheng sighed: "There is no problem for a few days, let's do our best, after all, we have prepared so many things, and there is no problem for a month." But their camp is too far away, otherwise they will give them a good look. ”
