Chapter 0263: Battle in Prison City (3)
As the battlefield calmed down, and with the occasional neighing of a few wounded horses, Liu ordered his soldiers to begin to clear the battlefield, and for the Turks who were not yet dead, he ordered them to be mended.
The 5,000 Turkic cavalry were all annihilated, and this result shocked the Turkic princess and the Turks in the prison city, but there was also an infinite sense of shame.
Chu Yunxiao did not take advantage of the victory to attack the city, because he knew that this Turkic prison city was extremely strong and difficult to capture for a while, so he decided to redeploy and let the soldiers who had just gone through the fierce battle rest.
The Turkic princess also underestimated Chu Yunxiao's strength, and the previous battles with the border city army were all small-scale wars, each with its own victory and defeat.
There are also 40,000 or 50,000 people in the prison city at the moment, although the loss of 5,000 elite cavalry, but for the Turkic combat power of the entire prison city, it has not been greatly affected.
The Turks were ready to defend the city, and both in terms of numbers and geographical location, the Turks still had the upper hand.
In the afternoon, Fang Jue was eating food that didn't suit his taste, when he heard a burst of shouts and killings, and then he felt that everything in the house began to shake.
Fang Jue didn't have the heart to enjoy the food, and hurriedly came out to observe. Countless fireballs began to rain down on the prison city, and almost all the houses near the city gates were destroyed, either by boulders or by rockets and fireball points.
The Celestial Empire army attacked the city, and Fang Jue saw countless Turkic soldiers around him hurrying back and forth, some to support the city, and some began to carry arrows.
Fang Jue wanted to go to see the battle situation, but was suddenly stopped by a group of Turkic soldiers, these Turkic soldiers looked at Fang Jue with a little madness at the moment, if it weren't for the order of the Turkic princess, at this moment, these Turkic soldiers were eager to divide the corpses of the Celestial Empire people in front of them.
The walls of the prison city were too high and thick, and although Chu Yunxiao used all the large cloud ladders, he still couldn't let a single Celestial Empire soldier climb the tower of the prison city.
And the Turkic soldiers on the top of the city tower also used various long-range weapons to counterattack the Celestial Empire soldiers. The siege of the city was inevitably dead and wounded, and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire had already laid thousands of corpses under the prison city.
Storming the city gate, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire began to storm the gate of the prison city with a crash car at any cost, but the soldiers did not expect that the gate was deformed, and the gate just couldn't be opened.
The soldiers of the Celestial Empire never imagined that the gates of this prison city had been sealed with large and small stones, and even if the city gate was broken, there was no way to rush in smoothly.
One defense and one attack, the firepower of both sides is not weak, although the people of the Celestial Empire approached the city tower several times with the help of the ladder, but they were still resisted by the Turkic soldiers. There were many dead and wounded under the city, and there were also heavy losses on the tower. The boulders thrown by the Celestial Empire's stone-throwing carts towards the prison city had smashed the front city beyond recognition, but it still couldn't shake the solid body of the city wall.
The Turkic princess was not worried that the prison city would be breached so easily, she actually came to Fang Jue again.
"For your safety, don't go out, you can stay here."
The Turkic princess was not angry at the fact that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire had killed her five thousand cavalry, and she said to Fang Jue with a kind face.
"Are you afraid that I will take advantage of the chaos to escape, or are you afraid that I will cooperate with the outside world?" Fang Jue said, with some excitement and sarcasm in his tone.
"I'm not afraid of you running away, not only do the people in the border city want to kill you, but I'm afraid there are many people in the entire Celestial Empire who want to rely on your head to get promoted and make a fortune. Probably the safest place is here, and you have nowhere to go except for me to shelter you. Besides, the prison city is impregnable, and it is impossible for the soldiers of the Celestial Empire to break through it, even if you want to cooperate with the outside world, someone can believe in you. Besides, you alone can be in the prison city where my tens of thousands of warriors are stationed
What a storm to set off. The Turkic princess smiled confidently.
"Yes, the people of the Celestial Empire want to kill me, it seems that I still have to rely on the Turks for protection, it's ridiculous." Fang Jue pretended to smile wryly.
"Okay, since you don't want to stay here, then I'll give you freedom, if you are hurt by your Celestial People, don't blame me for not reminding you." The Turkic princess left with a smile, as she still had to listen to the deployment of the Turkic generals in the prison city to defend the city.
Fang Jue was finally free again, but there were still two Turkic soldiers following Fang Jue. Fang Jue greeted the two Turkic soldiers, the other party didn't seem to understand, Fang Jue said a little embarrassed, and then continued to walk towards the city tower.
Standing on top of the tower of the prison city, watching the soldiers of the Celestial Empire rush towards the prison city one after another, in addition to attacking the city gate, they used the ladder to forcibly climb the city tower.
Fang Jue watched the soldiers of the Celestial Empire being knocked down from the city by the Turkic soldiers one by one from the ladder and fell to death, but Fang Jue seemed powerless, otherwise there were two Turkic soldiers around him, and some Turkic soldiers who didn't know Fang Jue thought that someone from the Celestial Dynasty had attacked the city.
The battle situation is not conducive to the army of the Celestial Empire, what is this Chu Yunxiao fighting, even if he enters the prison city, what can he do, there are still tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers inside.
Fang Jue sighed, he was anxious, he watched the soldiers of the Celestial Empire sacrifice in vain, although he did not forget that the soldiers of the border city slaughtered his own soldiers, but standing at the height of the country, the soldiers of the border city can represent the Celestial Empire at this moment.
Fang Jue saw Liu Jie in the forward camp at a glance, and Liu Jue rode a horse to personally coordinate and direct the soldiers to attack the city.
Fang Jue suddenly subconsciously touched the things in his arms, he had already written down the deployment of Turkic troops in the prison city and the methods of conquering the prison city.
Will he believe in himself, my eldest brother? Fang Jue was a little hesitant, but he still had to figure out how to hand over the letter and give it to Liu Ju accurately.
Of course, breaking through the prison city is a great achievement, of course, Fang Jue can only cheapen this eldest brother who still has misunderstandings about himself, hoping that he can help him, and he can change his opinion of himself.
Flying arrows pass the book, where the arrows are, it is impossible for the Turks to give them arrows, and even if there are arrows, it is impossible to shoot them in front of Liu Ju, who is no longer in range.
This made Fang Jue bitter, Fang Jue thought left and right, observed back and forth, and had to be wary of crossbow arrows and stone bullets under the city.
Stone bullets? Fang Jue suddenly thought of something, there were many trebuchets guarding the city on top of this city tower, but most of them were smashed by the stone bullets of the Celestial Empire, and a small number were still in use.
Fang Jue walked up to a trebuchet and destroyed a few parts, and if he dismantled the parts next door, he could replace and assemble them.
The Turkic soldiers who followed Fang Jue saw that Fang Jue was actually repairing a trebuchet, and they also looked at Fang Jue in confusion, but they didn't stop it.
These soldiers can only fight, where will they repair trebuchets, this saw that Fang Jue had repaired a trebuchet, and thought that Fang Jue really wanted to help the Turks deal with the people of the Celestial Empire.
Fang Jue couldn't control the trebuchet alone, so he motioned to two Turkic soldiers to come over to help, the Turkic soldiers couldn't understand Fang Jue's words, but they could understand what Fang Jue meant, so they were very willing to serve Fang Jue.
Aiming and loading, Fang Jue let the two Turkic soldiers start to control the launch.
"Put." Fang Jue even said with gestures to describe it, so that the two Turkic soldiers understood what the word meant.
With a whew, a stone projectile flew out. The distance was very far, but it was still not within the range, and Fang Jue also deliberately adjusted the angle, of course, he couldn't hit the Celestial Empire soldiers.
