Chapter 815: Despicable
When the order was finally given, the soldiers sprang into action, and they carefully reached out and clasped the city gate.
The gate is not monolithic, and there are some small holes the size of the index finger on it.
Such a small hole has no effect on the defense of the city gate, on the contrary, when the tip of the arrow is stuffed into the small hole, it can allow the people in the city to attack through the city gate.
One by one, thunderbolts were stuffed into small holes, and then shot.
The next moment, there was a dense explosion outside the city gates, and the heart-rending shouts of the enemy.
Thunder Arrow, exploded outside!
The sudden explosion made the besiegers of the city frightened, and those who survived by luck ran towards the city gate in a crazy way despite the orders and the many wounds on their bodies.
The gates of the city were suddenly cleared.
"Second round of preparation! This time, I'll wait until I've had enough! ”
A meritorious service gave the team guarding the city gate a lot of confidence.
Through the gates, the enemy could not attack them, but they could take them down.
Don't be too easy!
Zhang Fan also smiled slightly, it seems that he was right to choose to come to Gaochang in the first place.
Under the leadership of the Protector and the King of Hejian, although there is still a danger of death in Gaochang, it has been reduced a lot, and moreover, it can still get the greatest credit.
The riots at the city gate were quickly suppressed by the Turkic Western Regions coalition forces.
The soldiers who retreated back were all cut down to the ground by the law-enforcers dressed in red or the golden wolf riders dressed in wolf skins.
They were the military judges elected by the countries of the Western Regions and the Turks, and this attack, they were bound to win Gaochang and would never allow their soldiers to retreat.
With the threat of the magistrate, the slightly restless army calmed down and rushed to the city gate once more.
At the same time, the enemy troops who arrived under the city began to set up ladders and other equipment.
However, the ladder they prepared still could not reach the top of the city wall.
The re-reinforcement and elevation of the walls is simply despairing.
Soon, though, they had a new approach. This time, they chose to build a human wall to climb the city, although it was a little stupid, but it was much better than holding a ladder that was not high enough to be in a hurry.
Seeing that a large number of enemies had gathered under the city, Leng Feng said to Li Xiaogong: "It's almost, let's light the fire." ”
Li Xiaogong nodded, took out the fire fold from his arms, and lit the fuse that he had been holding in his hand.
This fuse is connected to a large area of thunder outside the city, and only by igniting it at this time can the power of the thunder area be maximized.
"Change to thunder weapons, be careful with the eight-bull crossbow operator, don't show your head, the archery skills of the Turks are not vegetarian!"
With Leng Feng's order, the soldiers in the city immediately rekindled the fire, replacing the ordinary bows and arrows behind their backs with the arrow boxes of thunder arrows. The operator of the eight-ox crossbow shrank his head and raised the eight-ox crossbow at an angle to the city.
Rumble!
Rumble!
....
The first to explode was a thunderbolt buried outside the city, and the same means once again inflicted heavy damage on the enemy.
The scene outside the city was extremely bloody, and even the hands of veterans who had been through the battlefield were a little trembling.
When the explosion in the minefield outside the western gate came to an end, the minefield outside the northern wall also exploded.
Hearing the movement, Leng Feng and Li Xiaogong glanced at each other and nodded together.
Tang Jin was in charge of the northern city wall, and the pressure on the north and south walls was second only to the west city wall, and this was the first time he had been so formally in charge. Being able to endure the thunderstorm outside the city that has only been ignited until now shows that he is calm enough.
After the explosion of the minefield, there were very few people who could stand outside the city, and the human wall that had just been erected also collapsed with a bang, killing many people directly.
The leaders of the Turkic Western Regions Alliance, who saw this scene from afar outside the battlefield, were heartbroken, and the Great Elder Tuyuhun looked up to the sky and spit out a mouthful of old blood: "This is cheating!" It's the power of the devil! The Tang people are really despicable! ”
The Great Elder Xue Yantuo pulled out his scimitar and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "You can't stop, this method of the Tang people can only be used once, and you can't give them another chance to prepare!" Come with me! ”
Xue Yantuo's guard immediately stepped forward and hugged his leg: "Great Elder, you can't put yourself in danger!" If you want to go up, we will go up, come, come and watch the Great Elder, and the rest of you will follow me! ”
Great Elder Xue Yantuo's blood infected many people, and it was clear that the corpses of his compatriots on the battlefield in front of him were all over the place, and they were still screaming, but they turned a blind eye and still rushed out frantically.
The Great Elder of Tuyuhun was still muttering, "Despicable, the Tang people are too despicable!" ”
Hearing him say this, the patriarch of the Tushi family spoke: "Don't mutter, it's annoying, it's really despicable for the Tang people to use such weapons, but we are no better, after all, we are attacking the Tang Dynasty all over the world, and it is estimated that the defenders of Gaochang are only 10,000 or 20,000, but we have 300,000!" ”
He didn't say that it was better, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone sighed in a low voice.
300,000, such a "despicable" force, but it can't take Gaochang in one fell swoop!
The second group of troops once again surged. This time, the third group did not hesitate and rushed after them.
Although they knew that their lineup was so dense and that they were in the hands of the Tang people, in this case, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and use their lives to build a new ladder to climb the ladder of the Gaochang city wall!
Seeing that the enemy was even more crazy, Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly and said to Leng Feng: "It's over, the enemy is even crazier, I'm going to the southern city wall, and I'll leave it to you here." ”
Leng Feng nodded.
The two of them are of little use in the west city wall, Tang Jin and Li Ke are in charge of the north city wall, Huo Xingyun and Qiu Yuze are in charge of the south city wall, and Ergouzi and Li Erniu are in charge of the east city wall.
Li Xiaogong was a little worried about Huo Xingyun and Qiu Yuze, but Leng Feng was very relieved about Li Erniu and Ergouzi.
Although Li Erniu is simple, and Ergouzi is cunning, the two of them are dedicated to their studies when they are studying, and it is not a problem to be alone.
As the second wave of enemies approached, the long-awaited firepower in the city finally got a chance to vent.
Countless thunderbolts and thunderbolts were thrown off the city, exploding red flowers of blood and flame in the crowd.
In places with a lot of people, there is also the smallest ground-level thunderbolt that is thrown out by trebuchets.
Of course, this ground-level thunder is added, these days, the soldiers in the city are idle, and they use stones to chisel a shell for the ground-level thunder, which can increase the power of the ground-level thunder, and can also crush the stones thrown out, cutting off the possibility of the enemy using it to pile up the base and pull it up.
This is the second large-scale application of gunpowder weapons since they appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the first application in Goryeo.
And this time, it is far better than the one on the battlefield of Goryeo.
