Today's battle to defend the city is countless times more difficult than the last time the Gaochang army came.

Thousands of people attacking the city and tens of thousands of people attacking the city is a completely different concept, when tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, like a tide from outside the city to the root of the city wall, just that kind of picture can make people completely lose their fighting spirit psychologically, not to mention relying on the strength of their thousands of people to repel these tens of thousands of people one by one, imagine that even if tens of thousands of ants are stepped on, it is not one foot or two feet can be trampled to death, let alone people, living people who know how to resist and fight.

From the moment of the siege of the city, Li Su obviously felt that the will of the defenders at the head of the city showed signs of collapse, and even he had a little desperate thoughts, in his eyes, this city has no hope of defending, maybe everyone knows this cognition in their hearts, just waiting for the last coming knife in the battle, a hundred.

The last round of arrows was shot out, and the effect received was very weak, because the enemy army had climbed to the base of the city wall, and the siege ladders were erected at the head of the city, and countless people were biting scimitars in their mouths, and they were climbing up with hideous expressions, and the rolling logs and stones at the head of the city were thrown down one after another, and there were bursts of screams and wails, but the enemy still went forward and continued endlessly.

"A hundred people came up, each three feet apart, lit the earth-shattering thunder, and threw them under the city wall together!" Li Su hissed and roared.

There was a loud bang of white smoke at the head of the city, and then, one by one, the black smoking canisters were thrown down the city wall, and after a few breaths, there was a sudden earth-shattering noise under the city wall, and even the earth was shaking and trembling.

The power of the earth-shaking thunder is huge, the thermal weapons of later generations have played an important role in the era of cold weapons, the armies of the Western Regions have already seen its power, a small black clay pot, directly blow up a member of their vanguard generals to the outside of the tender and fragrant, it seems that personal force has no effect in front of it. How to die and how to die.

Yesterday it was just a small clay pot, but today it was a hundred small clay pots thrown down from the city, which exploded under the city wall at the same time, and under a whole row of city walls in the west of Xizhou, the explosion was earth-shattering. Countless people were blown to pieces on the spot, and under the wall, they saw one by one enemy soldiers falling to the ground and wailing, and the luck of those who were far away from the back was not much better, although it was outside the diameter of the explosion, but while they were stunned, they immediately shot round after round of arrows on the city, and one by one the enemy soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the rest saw that the opportunity was not good, and they turned around and ran. ran out of the range of the bow and arrow, and only then did he gaze in horror at the tragic situation of the almost adult Shura field under the city wall.

Not surprisingly, the siege failed again.

Tens of thousands of people were angry, and they rushed to the city wall with the ambition to win, just to take Xizhou in one go, but the ending was the same as yesterday, a hundred small clay pots were broken, and the explosion sound of the earth shaking the mountains hit their morale to freezing point in an instant.

People are full of fear of the unknown. This fear can lead to two behaviors, one is to completely destroy the things they fear. The second is to flee farther, the farther the better.

The attitude of the Western Regions Alliance towards firearms was obviously the second, with a loud sound like a god's punishment, and a piece of robe that fell to the ground and rolled and screamed, many timid and faithful enemy soldiers immediately threw away their swords. Kneeling in front of the walls and reverently confessing his crimes, the morale of the siege fell like a tidal wave in less than an hour. and it receded like a tide.

Next, there was another truce.

It was not until today that the small clay pots at the head of Xizhou City finally attracted the attention of the enemy's commander.

The main general's name is Amurdun, who is a Western Turk, that's right, this time he united the countries of the Western Regions to seize Xizhou, and it was Gaochang State that advocated it, but the leader was the Western Turks, the real big boss behind the scenes, and he had a chance to burst purple equipment.

Amurdun didn't understand why a small thing could be so powerful and make such an earth-shattering noise, if it weren't for his strong will, I'm afraid even he couldn't help but think of miracles such as ghosts and gods, and then look at the sluggish and frightened soldiers in the camp, Amurton's mood was also extremely bad.

He thought that the capture of Xizhou would be as simple as probing for things, but with the appearance of that small clay pot, the battle became more complicated and difficult, which Amurdun did not expect.

A general who commanded the army, tens of thousands of soldiers with a rainbow of morale, a vulnerable city, thousands of defenders without fighting spirit, such a huge disparity in power, because of the addition of a small clay pot, the fragile city could not be attacked, Amurdun fell into incomparable anxiety and rage.

He is afraid of the mysterious little clay pot, but he is not afraid of the soldiers under his command.

"Come on, please court-martial!" Amurdun yelled out of the tent.

"During today's siege of the city, the first to escape, no matter which country the sergeants, are beheaded and shown in the camp, thinking that they will follow suit, and tomorrow will attack the city, who dares to take another step back, and the car will be torn apart!"

With hundreds of heads falling to the ground, Amurton's military law was also spread to tens of thousands of coalition camps.

…………

Mountains of corpses were piled up under the city, and on the top of the city.

In less than an hour of offensive and defensive battles, more than 200 defenders at the head of the city have fallen, and the corpses are piled up side by side on the road of the city tower, and the bloodstains on the ground and a pair of dead eyes are telling the world how tragic this war is.

Li Su leaned on the arrow stacks of the city wall, quietly watched the soldiers carry the corpses of the dead robes off the city wall one by one, a huge wooden platform was set up under the city, the corpses were concentrated on the wooden platform, the living soldiers respectfully saluted the corpse of the robe, a few torches were thrown on the wooden platform, and soon, the wooden platform was burning, and the corpses on the wooden platform turned into ashes together, and the thick black smoke column rolled up, like a black dragon straight into the sky.

People die in the soil for safety, but the current Xizhou does not have this condition, the outside of the city is under siege, and the city is located in the desert, the climate is hot, if the corpse is not disposed of as soon as possible, the city will soon spread the plague, then it is the real disaster of the whole city, and the so-called "disposal of the corpse", is so directly burned, war, not only cruel to the living, but also to the dead.

The flames flickered, the smoke billowed out, then diminuted, gradually curled up, and finally turned into ashes.

Li Su quietly looked at the black ash, and when the breeze blew, it flew away in all directions.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust, that's good." Li Su sighed and said.

Wang Zhu stood aside, his face showing sadness, Li Su turned his head to look at him, and suddenly smiled: "Don't be sad, maybe you and I will be like them in a short time, sooner or later." ”
