After several explosions, the Tang army and the Liang army suffered heavy losses, but the Turkic cavalry behind still rushed to the city and bent their bows to shoot arrows at the Dahua soldiers on the high-walled earthen fort.

The head of the city also shot arrows to counteract, so the two armies fired at each other, and the follow-up infantry began to advance, carrying ladders, holding planks, pushing rushing carts, and wanting to carry out a strong attack.

There were barbs under the trenches, and the Turks directly pushed down some dead bodies and horse corpses, gradually submerging the barbs.

The infantry used plywood to lay the top on it, so that the follow-up soldiers and horses could erect ladders to attack the city.

"Kill, kill, kill—"

On and off the city, flags were flying, and the Turks, Tang and Liang soldiers used simple stone throwing machines, hard bows and arrows and other siege equipment.

The Dahua army occupies a geographical advantage, using throwing stones, crossbow arrows, and fireballs from afar, and rolling logs and rocks at close range, and returning a tooth for a tooth.

From afar, half-climbed human bodies continued to fall from the top of the city, falling into a bloody corpse, and broken ladders and burning siege chariots were scattered everywhere.

On the ladder behind the earthen wall, the Dahua soldiers kept walking back and forth, carrying instruments, wandering and archery, holding hooks and sickles to push the ladder to resist the clouds, and constantly throwing rolling logs and stones to the city.

A huge and sturdy door car rushed to close the door with the support of dozens of Liang soldiers, and the sharp head of more than a zhang long exposed at the front end hit the thick and sturdy Tucheng iron gate, and the door car was equipped with a fan-shaped roof protection, and the stones and arrows could not hurt the enemy soldiers below.

Luo Zhaoyun's face was grim, watching the changes, as if he was outside, he did not take the lead to lead the troops to kill the enemy, because no matter how brave a person is, he can't kill it, only by sitting here as steady as a rock, his face does not change, he can give the soldiers and advisers of the whole army a reassurance.

In history, I have witnessed the process of ancient wars, tens of thousands of slaughters, fights, knives against each other, heads flying, bloody and hot.

This is war, there is no humanity at all, and the so-called imperial glory is the glory paved with countless blood and lives.

Luo Zhaoyun sometimes wonders, does he really want to unify the world and continue this kind of killing?

However, thinking of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, there was a constant fight, as long as the world is not unified for a day, the conquest will not stop, it is better to end this chaos by yourself, give the people of the world a good life, and let the Li family father and son be the emperor, not necessarily like yourself as a traverser.

The so-called prosperous era they created is only relative, and they cannot really change the predicament and constraints of the times, and they may be able to do it themselves.

The long sword is the trumpet, the drum is the order, and the bow is like a thunderbolt!

At this moment, outside the city, arrows rained down, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Rows of ladders were erected on the high and thick city walls, and the ant-like Turkic and Tang and Liang army soldiers continued to climb, rushing up desperately, seeing more and more enemy soldiers on the top of the city.

Xue Wanqian stepped forward and shouted: "Dahua good son, I would rather die standing than retreat, people are in the city, and people are dead in the city!" Let these coalition soldiers be buried here! ”

His loud voice, like a bell and drum, echoed in the ears of the soldiers at the head of the city, magnificent, all the Dahua soldiers at the head of the city were boiling with blood, their eyes were red, and they instantly burst out with great strength and morale, and fought with the Turkic warriors to the end with the snow-white blades and spears.

"Boom, boom—"

A batch of explosives was sent, lit the fuse, and constantly threw into the sea of people under the city, and then burst out of bursts of explosions, the earthquake shook the city, the smoke of gunpowder rolled, and every time the explosion sounded, dozens of nearly hundreds of Turks, Tang Army, and Liang soldiers were blown up to the sky, and the heads of the stumps were flying.

However, the explosives are limited, but the people are unlimited, and no matter how powerful the explosives are, they cannot kill the 100,000 troops in an ancient brain, and only play a role in relieving the morale of the enemy army for a while.

Chen Qi and Qu Tutong respectively commanded the defense of the army, and young generals such as Xue Wancheng, Zhou Zhongyin, Mai Jicai, Murong Huaigu, Murong Siguan, and He Ruohuaikuo all invested in the front-line defense, and even personally participated in hand-to-hand combat.

The battle, which lasted from morning to dusk, was a battle in which both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Qi Ji and Liang Luoren saw such a scene in the back, and they were extremely helpless, so they had to order the withdrawal of the troops, because more than half of the dead and wounded, the physical consumption was huge, and the soldiers were already physically exhausted and their morale was low.

After the herald received the order, he blew the long horn of retreat, and after a series of horn sounds came out, the Turkic knights and Tang Liang soldiers who were fighting fiercely in front of them withdrew from the front line as if they had received a great favor.

Tens of thousands of troops retreated like a tide, and the corpses of the wounded and dead and the corpses of war horses were scattered everywhere, layer by layer, especially under the city wall, the corpses were piled up like small hills, and the broken battle flags and broken poles were planted everywhere.

"The coalition is back, the coalition is back—"

The Dahua soldiers at the head of the city cheered, and after a whole day of bloody fighting, they finally desperately held the precarious defense line, so that the camp was unhindered and His Majesty was safe.

Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "The enemy army is constantly attrition, today there are 30,000 or 40,000 casualties, plus the Turks who died in the battle yesterday, the current coalition army has gathered 200,000 people, I am afraid that a small half will be consumed, and the morale of the three parties will be greatly damaged. ”

Everyone felt that His Majesty's analysis was very reasonable, and at present, they could only put the hope of countermeasures on the 30,000 strange soldiers led by Li Jing.
