The enemy retreated and I advanced, seeing that the Ye army at the head of the city was timid, the Tang army suddenly became more morale, and they waved their swords and spears one after another, shouting and rushing forward to kill.

And those soldiers of the Yarkand Army who were besieged by the Tang army at the head of the city, although they were depressed, they had to continue the battle.

At this moment, there is no human affection, morality, conscience, or legal constraints, only fighting like wild beasts, only life-and-death battles, only corpses piling up, only rivers of blood, only the clanging of swords, only the wails of dying, this is the real war, the cruel war, the war that strips away all the beautification and blood!

The life-and-death struggle between the old and new empires is so tragic and ruthless, you live and die.

At this time, Li Guo, the former Dashun Marquis Li Guo, who was also the first soldier, was slashed by a scimitar and slashed his right wrist.

There was a muffled pop, and his right hand, which was holding the hilt of the knife, fell silently along the knife light.

Li Guo screamed miserably and almost fainted, but fortunately, under the desperate protection of a group of personal soldiers, he fought and retreated, and only then did he retreat from the ankle-blooded west city wall.

"Damn, I really didn't expect that the Yarkand army would be so capable of fighting, and King Chuang really underestimated them that day." Li Guo gasped and shouted with difficulty.

After retreating from the road on the city wall, the supreme commander of the remnants of the Dashun army completely fainted due to excessive blood loss.

While the Tang army was still fighting bitterly with the enemy, the Yarkand king Abdullah had already killed many of his defeated soldiers, re-stabilized the situation, and ordered them to continue the attack.

As a result, Fuyou's generals once again led 40,000 elite soldiers to climb up the siege ladder from the four city walls, and continued to attack on the city walls of Luo Yicheng.

The reinforcements were so large that the Ye army at the head of the city, after a long period of hard fighting, had begun to gradually gain an advantage.

The Ye army, which attacked the city wall from the head of the city, relied on its superior strength to constantly squeeze the Tang soldiers who fought desperately to the ground and constantly retreated, and all the Tang troops defending the city finally couldn't hold on anymore, and the shield soldiers and spearmen who were tired of fighting, as well as the rampant team members who fought to exhaustion, were all pushed back continuously, and the vacancy exposed was becoming more and more difficult to fill.

It's just that Rao is so, under the personal supervision of the main general An Monk, no one dares to escape or surrender without authorization, although the Tang army defending the city on the wall of the West Gate is only a fraction of the Ye army, but it still fights to the death, fighting to the end.

Soldiers of the Tang Army continued to fall, screaming and falling into the ankle-spilled pool of blood at the head of the city, or falling straight from the city wall, becoming a bloody mass of flesh and blood. In the shadow of the sword and sword, their blood gushed out, their stumps flew wildly, and their heads rolled to the ground, and the battle situation was extremely tragic. Although the battle was so fierce, these Tang soldiers did not retreat to the death, and used their lives and courage to fulfill the loyalty promise of a Tang soldier and maintain the dignity and glory of the Tang Empire.

Seeing the surging Ye army, Monk An knew that the outer city was undefendable, so he sighed and ordered loudly: "All listen to the order, withdraw into the inner city to defend, and continue to fight with the Ye army to the end!" ”

"Order!"

At this point, as the Tang army took the initiative to abandon the outer city walls, the outer cities on all sides of the city finally fell.

After paying for the unprecedented tragic sacrifice they had made since the battle, the Ye army finally occupied the four walls with corpses piled up, blood up to several inches, and blood-stained up and down, and finally reaped this costly victory.

The snow was still falling, but the incessant slashing and shouting had disappeared without a trace. Between heaven and earth, it seems that a white expanse has fallen, and it is really clean.

At this time, seeing that the outer city of Luo Yi City had been taken by his own officers and soldiers, in the Chinese army tent, Abdullah, who got the news, could no longer hold back his joy, and immediately left the Chinese army tent under the protection of a group of white swing teeth, entered the city from the east gate, and personally came to the outer city of Luo Yi City to inspect the battle situation.

He looked around, and could see that in this twilight, snowy weather, on the four city walls, the corpses of Tang Ye on both sides were mixed with each other, and the flowing blood hung upside down from under the city wall, like a frightening and freehand abstract painting, and now in the cold weather, the blood has long been frozen into a dark red solidified shape, and only the endless falling snow gradually covered all this.

A sharp tingling sensation that deeply irritated Abdullah's mind.

He gasped, then let out a long sigh.

The total casualties of the side reached more than 15,000 people, but they were more than three times that of the defenders at the head of the city.

Hearing this number, Abdullah felt a sharp tingling in his heart.

With more than 15,000 casualties, plus more than 5,000 casualties on the way to the siege, the Ye army paid the price of more than 20,000 casualties in order to capture this outer city of Luoyi, which is simply appalling!

The combat effectiveness of this Tang army is so strong, their own battle-hardened Full Moon Scimitar warriors have not been able to get the slightest advantage from them, anyway, the number of battle losses is nearly three times more than theirs, such a tragic victory, if it comes a few more times, maybe Yarkand should be in a slump.

Thinking that in the hands of the Tang Emperor Li Xiao, there are still hundreds of thousands of such tigers, leopards and bears, and he has to fight hard with this powerful Tang Empire, Abdullah's heart tightened for a while.

In his future, can he really defeat Li Xiao completely?

Or take a step back, this time with the Tang Army, can your own Yarkand Khanate really be saved?

The more Abdullah asked himself this question, the less confident he became, and the more confused he became.

Abdullah's face was very ugly and silent for a while, and then he sighed softly, then turned his head and said to Dolgon slowly: "While the sky is not dark, hurry up and clean up the corpses of our army's dead soldiers, treat the wounded, rest and camp in the outer city today, fix the siege equipment, and then attack the inner city after dawn tomorrow." “

When he saw Ye Jun in the outer city, dragging a cart of corpses, slowly leaving Luo Yi City, and then lighting a raging fire outside the city and incinerating the corpses of Tang soldiers killed in battle, the grief on Monk An's face was incomprehensible, and his whole face showed an inexplicable distortion.

What a hate!

These Tang Army warriors who were loyal to the country fought desperately and died loyally, but they didn't even have a solemn and formal funeral, so they could only be captured by Ye Jun, and they were collectively burned and thrown into the wilderness, and their fate was really too miserable.

It's just that this is the price that the Tang Empire must pay for expanding outward and reconquering the Western Regions.

Although Ci is not in charge of the army, the human heart is not a stone or a tree after all.

Monk An's heart is like a knife, but he keeps being ruthless, hum, you Tartars, don't be proud, in the future, my Tang Army will have to take revenge one day! These brothers who died in battle for their devotion to the country will surely be able to rest in peace in the future.

But I don't know, where are the 300,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Emperor Li Xiao now, and can they still catch up with the final decisive battle?

Monk An has no bottom in his heart.

At this time, it was the end of the hour, but the sky was covered with thick clouds, the cold wind was howling, and the sky and the earth were still dark.

Monk An looked gloomy, standing on the snow-capped inner city wall, constantly observing the movements of Ye Jun outside the city.

In fact, as for what Ye Jun will do next, Monk An actually has no bottom in his heart.

After all, the current Ye army has surrounded the inner city and has a great advantage, and there are too many ways to choose from to attack, so Monk An can't judge where the Ye army will start attacking now, and how and how to start attacking the inner city of Luo Yi City.

Five days later, a new round of large-scale offensive by the Ye army began again.

Monk An, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at the dense Ye army, with an overwhelming momentum, banners like forests, dazzling swords and guns, and roars like thunder, and once again attacked the inner city of Vladivostok, surging and rampant, his face was almost colder and more resolute than steel.

Monk An knew that the battle that would determine the fate of the city was finally about to begin.

At this moment, in his heart, he suddenly did not have the feeling of wanting to fight with blood before the battle, but had an inexplicable feeling of looking down on everything and accepting fate.

For a time, his heart was like an old monk in his mind, without joy or sorrow.

Perhaps, this is what is called, it should come, it will always come.

"The whole army should pay attention, according to the pre-plan, go all out to defend the inner city, and all the soldiers of the army will live and die with this inner city!"

"Order!"

Like last time, the Ye army attacked from all sides pushing the chariots, and after the chariots stopped, from behind the Ye Jun chariots, a continuous sound of bows and arrows suddenly broke out, and countless sharp arrows shot into the air in a parabolic shape, and then crossed an arc in the air, shooting towards the Tang army defenders on the entire western city wall.

The collective projectile of nearly 20,000 Ye troops, dense with arrows overwhelming, emitting a crisp scream, like a flock of birds released by death, swooped towards the Tang army's firearms who were caught off guard at the head of the city.

"Dingding, ding! ……“

This is the sound of arrows hitting the tin shield in front of you.

When the arrow hits the shield, it sends out a flash of sparks, which are immediately splashed away by the missile.

"Puff puff! ……“

It was the sound of one of the few arrows that had been lucky enough to pass through the shield and shoot into the bodies of the firecrackers behind them.

Although the musketeers wore standard two-piece breastplates, their faces and hands were still very weakly defended, and although they were protected from being shot, they could not resist such a dense attack of arrows.

As a result, in the Tang army's array, from time to time, there were Tang army gunners screaming loudly, and there were even many firearms soldiers who were hit by arrows, and they were shot upside down by the powerful momentum of the arrows, falling from the city wall, either dead or disabled.

Ye Jun's volley of arrows caused at least 200 casualties among the Tang army's firearms.

"Attention all firecrackers! Crouch down on the spot, dodge the arrows, and the wounded firecrackers retreat to the city walls, and the reserve firecrackers fill their positions! “

Monk An, who was densely protected by a group of guards holding shields, shouted loudly at the soldiers who gave orders.

Hearing Monk An's order, the firecrackers hiding behind the shields all squatted down in a hurry, leaning against the shield soldiers who were kneeling with shields, hooking their heads, and dodging the arrows falling from the sky as much as possible.

It turned out that when Ye Jun, who was hiding behind the chariot, saw that the Tang army's firearms had squatted down to avoid arrows, and there was only a row of dense shields left at the head of the city, but they didn't see the crossbowmen above, they suddenly had no worries, and they walked out of the protective range of the chariot one after another.

These Ye Jun's hearts were full of the pleasure of being released after being suppressed, and they pulled the bowstring from time to time and fired arrows, these sharp heavy arrows, ruthless and accurate, will accidentally expose their hands, feet or faces to the shield soldiers, one blow, so that these Tang army firearms soldiers, more or less seriously injured.

For a time, the attack and defense of the enemy and us quickly changed, and the Tang army defending the city began to become extremely changeable.

The current situation is almost exactly the same as the last battle, because of the protection of the cart, the Tang army's gunners could not penetrate the thick layer of wood-clad iron, so they were suppressed by the Ye army's archers and could not fight back at all.

And such a passive situation was naturally quickly exploited by Ye Jun.

The long siege ladders were carried by the Ye army, who were as many as ants, and quickly approached the four walls of the inner city.

These Ye Jun, who were carrying siege ladders, shouted loudly and laughed unscrupulously, as if they were not going to fight, but to participate in a relaxed and freehand sports meeting.

Perhaps, in their opinion, the Tang army defenders, who had been firmly suppressed by the archers of the Ye army, could only watch them lean over the siege ladder and let them launch a siege battle.

Moreover, the Tang Army's hand-thrown mines have now been exhausted, and they simply cannot carry out close-range sniping like last time. Such a situation is almost one-sided and conducive to the attacking Ye army.

The fact was the same as Ye Jun expected, they easily crossed the moat with thick ice, and then came to the west gate city wall smoothly all the way unhindered, and then, with a crackling sound, at least more than thirty siege ladders were leaned against the two frozen city walls on the east and west sides of the shining silver light, and immediately, countless Ye Jun who were like ants climbing up the tree began to climb up the ladder.

Seeing these Ye Jun soldiers who were climbing up like ants, Monk An tightened his heart to the extreme, and his heart hurt to the extreme

Of course, he knew that if all these siege ladders were to be blown up, otherwise, if Ye Jun was allowed to climb to the top of the city, the battle would become unprecedentedly fierce. If there is still a hand throwing thunder now, this is not a problem at all, Ye Jun has already been fucking blown up and fled in embarrassment, how can he be so passive.

The taste of being passively beaten is always the most uncomfortable and unforgettable.

Monk An was helpless, and was about to give an order to let the firecrackers risk probing to shoot intensively at the enemy who was climbing up, but unexpectedly, those Ye Army archers who were eyeing each other had already taken action in advance and began to throw a large number of arrows at the entire city wall.

The collective projectile of nearly 20,000 Ye troops, dense with arrows, made a crisp scream, like a flock of birds released by death, swooping towards the Tang army guarding the city. In this way, they provided cover for the infantry who climbed the ladder.

Although most of the arrows were blocked by the big shield, they also caused great pressure on the Tang army, and immediately more than 100 auxiliary soldiers were killed or wounded, and more than a dozen auxiliary soldiers who were injured by arrows were screamed and fell from the city wall and fell into meat cakes.

For a while, under the arrows of the Ye army that came like rain, it was difficult for the soldiers under Monk An to even raise their heads, and they didn't even think about how to counterattack the Ye army that was besieging the city.

Seeing that his subordinates were suppressed again, Monk An was full of anger and gritted his teeth.

The brutal battle for the city walls eventually and inevitably began.
