Chapter 378: The Great Cannibal's Killer Feature
Frustrated by the tentative offensive, the Qianghu coalition fell silent.
The defenders from top to bottom, no one thought that the strong-bearded would back down, and the eve of the storm was always calm, calm enough to make people panic.
A few days later, the Qianghu coalition army joined forces, and the westbound Suobu and Sulu Khan converged under the city of Ningyuan, and the total strength of the Qianghu reached a staggering number, however, the record was soon broken again, and the 20,000 reinforcements of the Great Cannibal finally arrived belatedly, bringing heavy siege weapons.
The principle that those who break the city first eat 'meat' is eternal and unchanging, regardless of race, and everyone knows it. Naturally, Abbasid retained his hand, because he was assigned to the north and was responsible for attacking the northern city, while Sulu Khan's main force was responsible for the eastern city.
The situation of confrontation finally ended, and the Qianghu coalition army launched a magnificent offensive, and the Hu people rushed to Ningyuan City without fear of death, like a rolling up monstrous sea 'waves', and 'desire' covered Ningyuan City.
Abbasid was laughing, he was in a better position than the Shi Guo in the north of the city and the Turgish in the east of the city, and he had dozens of stone throwers, all small but enough to suppress the opposing crossbowmen and reduce his own casualties when attacking.
The horn sounded the pace of the attack. The defenders were in good stand, but today they noticed something different about the enemy, and after the horn, it was not the black pressure of the infantry who rushed in, only to see dozens of strange wooden "shelves" pushed out of the thick enemy formation.
"What's that?" Li Huaitang frowned, because the distance was three hundred steps, the 'naked' eye could not make out it.
The 'flesh' eye cannot see clearly, but the ear can hear clearly. In front of each shelf, there are hundreds of people standing, shouting rhythmically, as if they are working on the collective capacity.
Li Huaitang suddenly realized something, opened his mouth to speak, and suddenly found that there were dozens of black spots in the sky, flying towards the city wall.
"Bang! Bang bang bang! The dark shadow vanished, and the thick walls made a dull crashing sound, and the mountain shook the ground.
"Back to the cannon!" Li Huaitang suddenly realized.
The so-called return cannon is the stone thrower, its predecessor is the trebuchet invented by our ancestors, after passing to the big eater, it was improved by the big cannibal, and the counterweight was added, and the accuracy of the 'shooting' range and 'precision' was greatly improved, and the power was not the same.
Unlike a catapult, a stone thrower uses the gravity of a heavy object to 'shoot'. There is a fixed transverse axis between the two pillars of the frame of the stone throwing machine, and there is a lever perpendicular to the axis, which can rotate freely around the axis. A weight is attached to the short arm of the lever, and a pouch is at the end of the long arm for loading. When the 'shot' is fired, the long arm is pulled back with a winch to almost horizontal, and when it is suddenly released, the stone bag is quickly raised. When the hammer is completely lowered, the projectile flies out of the magazine at an angle of about 45 degrees.
The Hui Hui cannon deeply stung Li Huaitang, and it was this thing that the ancients of 'Mongolia' used to break through the city of Xiangyang, which had been held for several years, and Chinese civilization was 'Mongolian' since then.
The first 'wave' of stone bullets all smashed on the walls of Ningyuan City, making an earth-shattering sound that shook the hearts of both sides.
Immediately after that, several rounds of stone bullets smashed on the city wall, and the movement of the stone bullets was quite large, but the wall was very strong, and there was no sign of collapse.
"Damn it!" Abbasid scolded angrily, the object was not his own gunner, but the tall Ningyuan City, "This damn Li Huaitang, what are you doing to build the city wall so high and thick?" ”
The Tubo people who were stationed hundreds of steps away in parallel were surprised, these local goods from the plateau looked at each other, and the big cannibal killing weapon was full of power, it was really terrifying! Although the Tang army also had trebuchets, the power was far from it.
Dazaru looked at the several craftsmen who were busy behind the stone thrower, and his eyes began to roll, with the stone thrower, the city of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be insurmountable.
Abbasid did not know what the Tibetans were thinking, and he had just changed his tactics and ordered the catapults to change the target of the attack and directly attack the defenders at the head of the city to cover the Tibetan attack. Nonsense, the Tubo people stained his light, of course they have to do it! The Abbasids' ideas were justified and justified.
The defenders were immediately put to the test. The boulder falls where it is beyond human resistance, and it is simply indestructible.
A soldier with a huge shield was directly hit, and the thick wooden shield and the flesh and blood were instantly shattered, and the blood and flesh and the sand and gravel splashed within a distance of dozens of steps.
The defenders were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they lay under the 'female' wall and did not dare to move.
Huge stones smashed on the top of the city, with an incessant rumbling sound, and the gravel flew everywhere like sharp arrows, screaming again and again for a while.
Time passed, and the number of dead and wounded soldiers on the city increased.
Li Huaitang stood in the city tower, furious.
"'Shoot' them to death, pass my order, let Gongsun Wenyuan transfer all the crossbows, and give these big cannibals who eat shit a little bit of power!"
A soldier hurried down to the city to give orders. At the right time, a stone hit the city tower where Li Huaitang was located without warning.
"Bang!" The city tower was damaged in response, the stones in the building collapsed and the dust was filled, and a small stone drew a snow hatred on Li Huaitang's face, and at the same time, the 'legs' on his hands were greeted by gravel, and blood was dripping.
Several pro-soldiers also hung up the lottery, fortunately, Li Huaitang did not find a contractor to contract the construction of Ningyuan City, otherwise, when encountering a modern tofu scum project, his fate would only be miserable.
Produced by Lu Dajiang, the quality is really extraordinary! A group of soldiers were afraid and rejoiced, and the boulder smashed a corner of the city tower, and the kinetic energy was exhausted and was rebounded and fell off the city wall.
After wandering once before the 'gate' of death, the soldiers came to their senses and surrounded their generals to 'want' to go down to the city.
"Bastard, let me go! What are you panicking about? Li Huaitang shook off the hands of his own soldiers.
The science of probability says: the probability of two shells falling at the same point is very small, let alone the stone thrower behind the big cannibal? There are only dozens of pitiful planes, and the frequency of firing is even more miserable.
Li Huaitang could not leave, the situation was critical, and his presence played an irreplaceable role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
The general has nothing to fear, but what are we afraid of?
The defenders are at ease, the general is a guarantee of victory!
"The Tibetans are coming up!" The lookout post in the high place ripped out its throat and shouted, then replaced it with a bull's horn and blew the siren.
Taking advantage of the fact that the defenders were compressed under the 'female' wall, thousands of Tibetans carried long ladders and desperately rushed to the city wall, and the rain of longbows and arrows of the defenders still lingered in their hearts, and no one wanted to stop and try to be slaughtered by the flying locust-like feathered arrows, although the enemy's longbowmen on the city had not yet appeared.
"Shoot the arrows!" Wei Anguo's face was as usual, and his tone was firm, and he took the lead and stood in the open area at the head of the city, ignoring the flying boulders.
Military orders are like mountains, even if the sword is a mountain of fire, jumping into the river and hitting the wall, as a soldier, you can only obey the order. The horn sounded with a special meaning, and the longbowmen stood up to meet the enemy.
The feather arrows were ruthless, densely covering the running Tibetans; And the boulder is indifferent, mighty and wreaking havoc on the city, taking away one fresh life after another.
The two sides are 'exchanging' their lives, but the Tibetans suffer a greater loss, after all, there are many longbowmen, and the speed of the cause is much faster than that of the stone thrower.
At last he rushed to the foot of the city wall, and the long ladder was set up at the head of the city as he wished. Under the protection of their own archers, the Tibetan warriors began to climb the ladder, and the ants attached them.
The fight to the death is about to break out, and the Tubo people despise death for a batch, a batch, and a batch, and a steady stream; At the head of the city, the defenders resisted desperately, their advantage was joint operations and cotton armor protection, Rao was so, under the fighting style of the Tubo people flying axes and throwing spears and ending up together, the casualties were also 'surging', and the logistics team transporting the wounded soldiers and the remains shuttled on the stairs of the upper city wall, in an endless stream.
The 'hand-to-hand' fighters are crazy, and the spectators are nervous. Hundreds of paces away, the Abbasids sweated in his palms, his heart and liver raised to his throat, and the eager anticipation of breaking the city was full of expression.
"Master, the Tubo people have gone up!" Sukhail was 'excited', "Work harder, let the little Bolu go to reinforcements!" ”
Sukhail reminded the Abbasids that the first time they led the army, the Abbasids would inevitably lose sight of one or the other.
"Blow the trumpet, let our warriors get on board!" The Abbasids were as good as they were, and they were quite resolute, intending to break through the city in one fell swoop.
The Tibetans have reinforcements, and the defenders over there also have them!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" On the steps of the city wall, Li Siye hurried over with the Modao team.
Death for a confidant. The scholar Li Siye is also, the confidant, Li Huaitang is also. In order to repay the kindness of the encounter, Li Siye worked hard, but unfortunately his luck was not good, and he only caught up with a big battle. This battle to defend the city finally has a place for him!
Hearing the reinforcement order, he didn't waste a moment, and appeared on the front-line battlefield as quickly as possible.
The reinforcements were quite timely, and in the face of the warlike Tubo people, the tiger and wolf cavalry soldiers were gradually unable to do so, after all, their combat experience was inferior. They barely held off the offensive of the Tibetans, but they could not withstand the sudden increase in reinforcements.
The Tibetan soldiers and the big food soldiers, with hope and ferocity, encountered a nightmare as soon as they stood on the 'female' wall.
Mo knife up, invincible! Mo knife falls, ashes and ashes! There is no enemy under the Mo knife, and there is only the fate of being stabbed in two sections.
Li Siye rushed the most fiercely, and the target was the most 'fierce' place: the head of the city above the 'gate'!
In this small area, there are more than 100 corpses lying in the ground. A group of defenders fought side by side, and in the end only two wounded soldiers remained, and the remaining eight robes had fallen, and before Li Siye arrived, the two wounded soldiers were outnumbered, and after cooperating with the assassination of an enemy general, they were beheaded by two big food soldiers and a Tubo soldier.
Li Siye bared his teeth and roared, and the tragedy happened in front of his eyes, only a few steps away.
Seeing the hideous face of a big man, the three enemy soldiers nodded to each other in tacit agreement and surrounded them.
"Die!" Li Siye drank violently, and with the momentum, the dragged Mo knife circled. The sword flashed, blood splashed, and the three bodies and six sections were broken at the waist!
Li Siye was extremely brave, his momentum was unabated, and he continued to pounce on a brave Tubo centurion.
"Die!" There was another loud shout, and the Mo knife was slashed on the head, and the enemy general's shoulder was stabbed, which was divided into two halves from top to bottom, and the internal organs were broken and scattered all over the ground, and everyone who saw it was shocked.
The killing made Li Siye go into madness, and more than a dozen enemies died tragically under his knife without resistance.
The Mo knife was invincible, and the killing effect was amazing, and the Tubo people and the great cannibals who were besieging the city began to know the fear and hesitated until they retreated.
The success was successful, and the Abbasids flew into a rage and used a killer move.
The defenders at the head of the city were once again confronted by the catapults. Unlike the first time, this time it was not the stones that flew in, but leather bags, which smashed on the top of the city, cracked one after another, and flowed out a black liquid, and it was still warm.
"Quick, get the sand and cover it!" Black fire oil can only deal with the ignorant Hu people, but Li Huaitang.
The fire was ineffective, and the Abbasids worked for a long time, but only a few fires were lit and quickly extinguished.
The cannibals had no choice but to stone the city again, but this time the defenders had the experience to either hide under the 'female' wall, hide in the tower, or simply stay under the inner wall and wait for reinforcements.
The offensive and defensive battles have been continuing, and the Qianghu coalition forces have taken turns attacking day and night, relying on their large numbers...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
