Chapter 222: Resist the next wave
"Click??????"
More than 300 crossbows continued to shoot, arrows splashed out like rain, even if the wrestler used a corpse or shield to protect the whole body, but under the huge impact, it was also shot back again and again, of course, there were many exposed gaps, were shot, such a luxurious war scene, Abu Tusi is the first time to see.
"The one who loads the arrows is a little faster??????"
"Dodge when you see a flying hammer ??????"
Sun Xiangfu's voice kept roaring on the battlefield, and although he commanded in the rear, he consumed more physical strength than the guards who shot the enemy in front.
The Turks were once again repelled by the rain of arrows, but at this moment, the sound of weapons clashing was heard from the city walls.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Tang Fengyi running down from the city wall in a hurry, Sun Xiangfu grabbed him and asked.
"The Turks suppressed the city wall with bows and arrows, and some people climbed up with flying claw ropes, and it was not safe on the city wall, and these people did not even have weapons, and staying on it was to send them to death."
Sun Xiangfu was in a hurry when he heard this, the Turks were able to climb the city wall, this is troublesome, you know, the other three gates are each guarded by fifty soldiers of the unity battalion, the soldiers on the east gate, plus Wang Xu's people, are less than five hundred, counting the dead and wounded, it is estimated that there are less than three hundred people, and most of them have consumed most of their arm strength because of continuous bow shooting, and if they start a white-knuckle battle, they are not the opponents of the Turks at all, plus these hundreds of people can only hold a small section of the city wall, There will be more Turks who can climb up in a steady stream, and the walls will be worried.
Tuli asked his subordinates to give up their horses to climb the city wall, which Sun Xiangfu could not have imagined, at present, although the casualties of the Turks were far greater than those of the Tang army, it was useless to be anxious.
"My lord, let the guards go up the walls! Now only we have the strength to fight the Turks. ”
Zhang Ke, who was not far from Sun Xiangfu, heard Tang Fengyi's words and took the initiative to say.
It is indeed a bit of a waste to let the guards with the strongest physical fitness easily pull the trigger here at the city gate and kill the enemy with a repeater, Sun Xiangfu said, "Okay, you bring a repeater, and if you encounter a fierce one, shoot it to death, and try to save your strength." ”
Zhang Ke took the order, shouted, and more than 100 guards in iron armor followed him, and suddenly, on the side of the fortifications, there were only some craftsmen left in the Sun Mansion.
"Old Tang, I don't care what method you use, a cup of tea time, teach these people to use repeating crossbows, load arrow boxes, and send all our remaining repeaters to them??????"
In front of the fortifications, which could only be barely suppressed by the Turkic soldiers who were constantly rushing in, due to the withdrawal of one-third of the most skilled men with crossbows, the shooting density suddenly weakened a lot, and the people in the city gate cave had a tendency to kill them.
On the city wall, Wang Xu has never felt that his halberd is so heavy, in fact, the weapons used to fight on the battle array should be moderately weighted, so as to fight more durably, his halberd is heavier, only suitable for heads-up, although it is sharp to kill people when wielded, but it consumes physical strength too quickly.
In a basketball game in later generations, professional athletes with full physical strength go on the court to fight against each other, and it is difficult to insist on playing the whole game, not to mention the people of this period, with a white blade to fight with all their might, normal people are generally the first ten minutes of violent, a little stronger, can hold on to half an hour, those war scenes that swing knives and cut for a few hours at every turn, are basically deceitful, not to mention that life and death are originally a matter of lightning and flint, normal people, you don't need to wear dozens of pounds of armor, wield a dozen pounds of big knives, let you run empty-handed, or jumpand you look at it for hours on end.
Therefore, soon, Wang Xu's combat effectiveness became similar to that of ordinary people, and while being forced to retreat again and again by the Turkic soldiers, his guards began to die in large numbers, and when Zhang Ke led the men to arrive, Wang Xu's side plus the soldiers of the unity battalion were less than two hundred.
"You go down and rest, and leave it to us here."
Zhang Ke held a crossbow in his left hand and a long knife with a demonic pattern in his right hand, and after rushing over, he slashed at the Turkic soldiers, after all, they were people who had undergone more than a year of high-intensity training, and it was very easy to slash and kill the Turkic soldiers with the advantage of equipment.
Seeing the corpse thrown from the city wall, Tu Li's heart was like a knife, in the siege battle of less than an hour, his subordinates died thousands of times, and he hadn't even taken the city, could it be that there were many defenders in the city? After a few more hours, he will become the commander of the light pole.
At this time, his character shortcomings were exposed, indecisive, and he didn't dare to let go of Yibo, which is also the reason why he was gradually defeated by Jieli when he occupied the dominant conditions, and finally defeated.
"Blow the trumpet, collect the troops."
Seeing that the hundreds of soldiers who climbed the city wall were killed by more than a hundred ironclad guards, and even the flying claws that climbed the city wall were cut off, Tuli gave an order unwillingly, but he didn't know that if he could lead his last few elite thousand people to join the battlefield, Mayi City would really be broken.
"Woo, woo~"
Several horns were blown, the city gate hole and the Turkic people nested under the city wall retreated outward like a tide, on the city wall, Zhang Ke, who had a sore arm, sat on the ground, and Sun Xiangfu, who turned around to look at the arrow box that was about to bottom out, was relieved.
Even if Tuli insisted on another quarter or two of an hour, the city of Mayi would really be finished, however, at this time, he chose to give up.
"Quick, collect the arrows and carry the wounded down for treatment??????"
I don't know if Tuli outside the city will attack the city again, Sun Xiangfu did not miss any opportunity, and under his shouting, the people quickly cleaned up the city gate hole.
In Sun's mansion, hearing the shouting and killing in the city stopped, Yu Xiu'er suddenly felt relieved, if the Turks entered the city, this burning, killing and looting would probably begin, and it would definitely not be so quiet.
"Miss, why don't I go to the city wall to find my uncle! Send him something to eat. Chun Tao proposed, in fact, she was the same as Yu Xiu'er in her heart, and she wanted to know if Sun Xiangfu was injured, after all, it was a battlefield.
"I'll go too, I'll go too, it's a mess in that place, it's not safe for you to go alone." Hongmei said as if she could protect Chun Peach, and stepped forward to make her debut.
"You two, don't fight, let's go together! By the way, bring some food and broth for the soldiers defending the city. Yu Xiu'er naturally wanted to know if Sun Xiangfu was damaged for the first time, but she knew that her husband, she was okay in terms of literary talent, but it was not worth mentioning in terms of force.
When the three of them led a large group of maids and servants from the Sun Mansion to the east city gate, nearly half an hour had actually passed, after all, it was not so fast to prepare so many people's food, and Yu Xiu'er was immediately relieved when she saw Sun Xiangfu sitting on the city wall watching the people clean the city gate.
Chewing the bread sent by his wife, drinking the broth sent by his wife, and looking at Tuli outside the city counting the number of his family with a sad face, Sun Xiangfu did not have the joy after the victory, because, knowing the actual situation in the city, Tuli did not leave, he was collecting supplies and organizing the next attack.
On both sides of the road in the city, hundreds of corpses were placed, and among them, there were more than two dozen of them, who had been protecting themselves day and night for more than a year.
Then, the sudden intermittent flickering firelight in the distance made his face happy, and the binoculars of the guards quickly caught it in that direction, and soon, he came to Sun Xiangfu's side, whispering.
At this moment, Sun Xiangfu wanted to laugh a little, but in the face of the remains of so many brothers, he couldn't laugh, and now, he realized the emotions expressed in a red song in later generations, and couldn't help humming in a sad tone.
"In the middle of the night, I look forward to the dawn, the cold winter wax moon, and the spring breeze.
If you want to look forward to it, the Tang army is coming, and the mountains are red all over the mountains.
The ridge is full of red ??????"
Sun Xiangfu, whose voice was already hoarse, sang the first paragraph very sadly, however, after seeing the Turkic cavalry outside the city, a group of Turkic cavalry who turned off from horseback, his voice became more and more high-pitched, high-pitched, with a little joy, as if the Tang army was really coming.
As the centaurs of Turri were collecting cowhides, planks, and bodies of fallen soldiers as fast as they could, to use as shields to shield their crossbow arrows, their next attack was about to begin.
