As Sun Xiangfu thought, the best way to convey the news was the fire in the dark, especially in a place like Mayi, where there were plains for dozens of miles, and when the fire in the wheat field was burning, the sleepy soldiers on the city wall noticed something was wrong.

"Bell, bell, bell??????"

The alarm bell sounded at the head of the city, and the soldiers who had been sleeping in the cave of the city gate opened their eyes sleepily, and began to run to the city wall with their bows, and soon they heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

"A large force of cavalry is approaching, put the bolt of the city gate on quickly, raise fire, and shout to the people to be strong??????

The commander of the unity battalion responsible for defending the city is called Zhang Kang, who is also a cautious old soldier, and after climbing the city wall, he immediately issued several orders.

When the war began, time was often so critical, with a quarter of an hour to prepare, enough for the people of the unity battalion to open all the defenses, the city gate was added with a few huge deadbolts, and the drawbridge of the moat was also raised high, because there may be war around it, and the people who had been requisitioned early in the morning were also shouted by the soldiers to take their places, and when Tuli took more than 10,000 horsemen to the city wall, the defenders in the city were basically in a state of imminent battle.

The effect of the fantasy raid is gone, but Tuli still ordered the siege with anger on his face, after all, he is the overlord of the perennial battle, even in the face of a fortified city like Mayi, he also has many offensive handbreaks.

Two Turkic men whirred a chain tied to a ceramic jar containing fire oil.

Soon, the jar was thrown into the sky, and when it reached the rope that pulled the drawbridge, there were Turki's archers who bent their bows and shot arrows, and smashed the clay pot, and the fire oil was sprinkled all over the ropes, and then another rocketeer began to shoot arrows at the ropes, and in a short time flames rose from the ropes, and it was not long before the ropes were burned, and the Turkic cavalry could leap through the drawbridge and storm the city gates.

If the defenders of the city could only rely on the drawbridge of the moat to block the attack of the enemy army, then the ancient war would not have to be fought, and this process only bought some preparation time for the defenders.

Tang Fengyi had already climbed the city wall under the protection of a small number of Sun Mansion guards at this time, not to mention, this guy has been mixed since the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, and he is also a person who has experienced a lot of wars, he is not good at commanding and killing the enemy in battle, but it is very effective for the organization of those people.

"Listen to me, don't be afraid, although there are many enemies, we also have reinforcements, see the fire outside the city, it is our reinforcements to remind us, after a while, when the Turks approach, we will study during the day, each person only needs one step, you can start the catapult, these stones will be smashed down, you will definitely be able to kill the Turks, this is a military merit! After this battle, the emperor will definitely reward his merits, and when the time comes, don't have too much land and can't plant it??????"

War, morale is very important, Tang Fengyi, who made a big deal in the people's strength, made their emotions more stable, you know, there are only 500 regular soldiers of the unity battalion defending the city, but there are 3,000 people in the city.

And Sun Xiangfu is very good at simplifying complex things, so after Tang Fengyi followed Sun Xiangfu's method, he assigned a simple task to each of these people, and when it was executed, it was no less efficient than a professional soldier.

"Bang, bang??????"

When most of the ropes controlling the drawbridge were burned, the drawbridge inevitably fell, and the armored knight under Tuli quickly crossed the drawbridge and ran towards the city, he was naturally not stupid enough to attack the city with cavalry, and the purpose of the people who rushed over was similar to that of burning the drawbridge, he wanted to burn the gate of Mayi City with fire oil, this kind of thing he got from the Western Regions, finally played a role in the battle.

"Shoot ??????"

"Catapult, ??????"

Tang Fengyi and Zhang Kang gave the order almost at the same time, and at the moment when the drawbridge fell, the flying stones and arrows smashed in this direction together, and the Turkic cavalry who rushed up first was immediately smashed, but there were always one or two lucky ones who could run over the drawbridge, close to the city gate, and smashed the clay pot weighing more than ten catties on the wooden city gate.

There has been a fight under the city of Mayi, and it naturally makes no sense for Sun Xiangfu to set fire to the wheat field, it is just a field of dozens of acres on the left and right, and it will be burned after it is burned, and now he has to think about how to slow down the offensive of Tuli.

"My lord, the Tuli people are concentrating on attacking the east gate, but we can return to the city from the south gate."

Zhang Ke looked at Sun Xiangfu, who was thinking of a way with a sad face, and reminded.

"That's right! Let's go back to the city first. ”

In fact, in his opinion, the destruction of the city is close at hand, and all he paid is more than 100 horsemen and some fire oil, and when the fire oil completely burns the city gate, who else can stop him from riding into the city.

He didn't know that given the opportunity to Sun Xiangfu to enter the city, the difficulty of his siege might increase exponentially.

There are hundreds of craftsmen and workshops in charge of production in Mayi City, yes, there are a large number of weapons and armor stored here, Shuozhou soldiers are few, Sun Xiangfu has saved their thoughts for changing clothes early in the morning, cotton armor has already been replaced, and the crossbow is for safety reasons, after making a batch, all of them are stored in the warehouse, and there are countless arrow boxes and arrows.

After Sun Xiangfu entered the city, he went to the workshop warehouse as soon as possible, and he didn't expect Uncle De to be here.

"Young master, the old slave knows that you will be fine, the craftsmen in the house, the servants, and the death row prisoners you arranged to live in before, the old slave has all brought, there are 1,200 people."

Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed when he heard this, "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!" Open the storeroom, let everyone move things out, let's go to the East City Gate, hey, why are you here. ”

Uncle De let go of his body, and Sun Xiangfu saw Yu Xiu'er wearing a wide cotton armor at a glance, not to mention, if he wasn't too familiar with her face, Sun Xiangfu might not be able to recognize her at a glance, not only that, but beside her, the two big girls Hongmei and Chuntao were also dressed in this outfit.

"The concubine heard Uncle De say that there were only 500 soldiers guarding the city, and she was worried that she would ······ after the city was broken."

"Okay, the husband is back, you don't have to worry, cook more food, wash the white and wait for the husband to come back."

didn't need too many words, Sun Xiangfu saw Yu Xiu'er's inner tremor from his expression, yes, he tried his best to use a humorous and happy tone, wanting to comfort her, if Mayi City was breached, a noble woman like her would definitely not end well, but seeing Yu Xiu'er's pale face, Sun Xiangfu still thoughtfully hugged her in his arms and stroked her back.

At this moment, Yu Xiuer couldn't control her emotions anymore, tears poured out, and the feeling of regretting calling her husband to find a marquis lingered in her heart, and at this moment she realized that a comfortable and comfortable Guanzhong land, or running a restaurant, is actually the best life, and the spring peach and red plum behind her are also accompanied by her tears, and Sun Xiangfu's mood is a little bad.

"Hey, hey, hey, my son is still here! Will you keep this city? ”

A martial artist like Wang Xu hates this kind of picture of children's affection the most, and after waiting for a while, he saw that they were still kissing me and me, so he said impatiently.

"Alright, let's go back to the house quickly! If you go for your husband, you will come. ”

Letting go of Yu Xiu'er, Sun Xiangfu glanced at Wang Xu with a displeased face, then turned over and got on the horse, gave Yu Xiu'er's three daughters a reassuring look, and whipped the horse and went in the direction of the city gate.

There were no stupid people in the Sun Mansion, and under the command of Uncle De, everyone carried out the boxes of packed weapons one by one, and ran out of the warehouse to the city gate.

Soon, Sun Xiangfu hit a horse and came to the East City Gate.

"Old Tang, don't mess with that catapult, take down the people for me."

In the firelight, Sun Xiangfu saw Tang Fengyi, who was nested in the group of people and was anxious to catch fire, and shouted at him.

The heavy city gate has already been on fire, if allowed to burn, at most a quarter of an hour or two, it will inevitably collapse, and then the five hundred defenders and three thousand people on the city wall alone will not be able to resist the more than 10,000 cavalry of Tuli, and in order to reduce losses, Tuli has already let the horses retreat to the range of catapults and bows and arrows, and only wait for the city gate to be burned before he will launch an attack.

And Tang Fengyi, who had tried to extinguish the flames on the city gate with water to no avail, was actually helpless, thinking about whether to slip away first.

"Ahh You're back, you're back! How to fight this battle depends on your decision. Tang Fengyi saw that Sun Xiangfu was already in the city, and he was immediately surprised and ran down from the city wall.

"Quick, organize the people, use sandbags, gravel, and pile up a few obstacles at the city gate."

"This, it works?"

"You'll know in a moment if it's useful."

After that, Sun Xiangfu glanced at Wang Xu, who was carrying a bow and a halberd, and said, "Prince Wang, aren't you in a hurry to fight, the city wall will be handed over to you." ”

The people brought by Wang Xu are all archers, and he organized the throwing on the city wall, but he can kill a lot of Turks, Sun Xiangfu did not rule out that after his arrangement blocked the Turks, they would find a way to climb the city wall, after all, the wall of Mayi City is very long, and five hundred people can't defend it at all, and with Wang Xu and these people on the city wall, the defenders' melee ability can also increase a lot.
