Chapter 0119: Siege (1)

In the small boundary city, 10,000 defenders have been added. Ten miles away from the small boundary city, Ouyang Jing also lined up his troops and prepared to meet the Tubo army.

As expected, the Turks mobilized their troops, and the direction was very clear, that is, the granary small boundary city.

The banner covered the sun, the dust covered the sky, and the first wave of 50,000 cavalry of Tubo came to the small city.

"General, the Tubo people are the vanguard troops, and the army will come soon, and the siege equipment and siege crossbows will be transported at that time, and there will be a siege battle next." Fan Ba had fought with the Tibetans, and he still had some understanding of the fighting methods of the Tibetans.

Fang Jue looked at the Tubo army under the city, 50,000 people, densely packed like ants constantly scurrying back and forth. "Everyone wants to bite the fat of the small boundary city, as long as they hold the small boundary city, they can grasp the initiative in the war."

The Tubo cavalry under the city only moved back and forth under the small boundary city, but there was no sign of siege, and it seemed that they were waiting for the follow-up baggage troops to transport siege equipment.

On the tower of the city, the strong bow and crossbow have long been prepared, and there are actually a million crossbow arrows in the small world city, which is not a small wealth, no wonder the Tubo people are so crazy to recapture the small world city.

"The general has an order, even if you release arrows, shoot them casually, it is regarded as practicing archery, and the crossbow arrows are enough. The following people are treated as targets. Whoever shoots more will be rewarded. ”

Nanfeng announced Fang Jue's order at the head of the city, the small realm city was condescending, and the cavalry below was shooting range, no wonder it would be scurrying back and forth.

Although there are many Tubo troops under the city, but the small boundary city is tall and strong, they are no longer afraid, Fang Jue suddenly ordered, this is an opportunity they can't ask for, a strong crossbow is not something that any soldier can touch, and even if there is a chance, it is impossible to release arrows at will, crossbow arrows are expensive, each arrow crossbow arrow is equal to ten ordinary arrows. And his own general said to shoot casually, how much money does it take.

Whoosh...

The soldiers on the tower were still a little nervous about finishing the first wave. Many people are in contact with crossbows for the first time, and under the guidance of veterans, they have completed the first crossbow shooting in their lives.

"Hit, I shot..."

A soldier watched as his crossbow arrow hit a Tibetan cavalryman, and the cavalryman was pierced through the heart by an arrow, and then fell off his horse.

"Hit, I shot two..."

"I also shot..."

The castle tower was full of cheers, obviously not feeling that this was a battle, but a training.

Wave after wave of arrows were fired at the Tubo cavalry under the city, and the sudden danger made the Tubo soldiers have no chance to dodge. However, a single arrow shot could only injure a few hundred Tibetan soldiers at most.

Whoosh...

The continuous shooting finally caused a riot among the Tibetan cavalry, and in an instant, the city was heavily killed and wounded, and the number of Tibetan soldiers shot and wounded reached seven or eight thousand. The remaining Tibetan soldiers rushed out of range, continuing to wait for their large force.

The Tibetan soldiers were forced to retreat, and the Celestial Empire soldiers on top of the tower shouted victory. I didn't expect that the legendary Tubo cavalry was the first in the world, and it seems that today it is nothing more than that.

Soon, after the Tubo cavalry, a greater burst of dust flew, and dense black dots poured towards the small boundary city. This is the arrival of the Tibetan army, slow and sluggish, and there should be a lot of heavy firepower weapons.

Nearly 200,000 Tubo soldiers approached the city, and this sense of oppression made the soldiers of the Celestial Empire who were on the high walls still feel a little timid.

Siege crossbows, catapults, siege ladders, so many. Fang Jue was also a little unsure whether 10,000 people could defend the small boundary city.

"General, do you want to save General Ouyang?" Xiao Yue took the initiative to ask for battle, he was good at it, and if he wanted to avoid the army, there was still a chance to reach Ouyang Jing's camp.

"There are only 200,000 here, and there are still 200,000 Tibetan troops who have not moved. If General Ouyang comes to the rescue, we will all be in danger. I think General Ouyang should also know about the situation here. ”

Fang Jue did not let Xiao Yue go out of the city to take risks, but only ordered the soldiers to move all the weapons that could prevent the Tubo army from attacking the city to the city.

Under the small boundary city, the Tubo army was in full array, but did not immediately attack. Instead, he stepped out of the formation and rode alone, and then came straight towards the gate of the small boundary city.

"The young general in the city, I have an army of 400,000 in Tibet, and the siege equipment is excellent, if it is a siege, I can take the small boundary city in an instant. However, the eldest prince of our country has the virtue of a good life, if you are willing to go out of the city and surrender, you can spare your life. If you don't obey, when my Tubo army invades the small boundary city, there will be no chickens and dogs left, and they will be slaughtered. A Tibetan soldier shouted arrogantly under the city.

"Nanfeng, are there any chickens in Xiaojie City?" Fang Jue asked.

"Nope."

"Are there any dogs?"

"Nope..."

Nanfeng was a little puzzled by Fang Jue's question, and the other centurions beside him were also puzzled.

"Since there are no chicken dogs, what are you afraid of?" Fang Jue said loudly, his tone firm and serious.

The Tubo army did not immediately attack the city, and Fang Jue was even more sure of how important the food in the city was to the Tubo army. If it holds on for a few days, the Tibetan army will definitely retreat, and even if it can't, it will burn down the small boundary city. But that's the worst-case scenario, and hopefully it's not that far.

Sou...

Fang Jue ordered to shoot back the Tibetan soldiers who came to shout, and the two armies did not fight each other, which was the minimum rule. The Tibetan cavalry was surrounded by arrows in the center, which was a naked refusal and demonstration, and if the soldiers in the city were intended, he would probably have fallen off his horse.

"How can this be true, it is really a thing that does not know life and death."

Tubazan, the eldest prince of Tubazan, could no longer control his fiery temper, the knife in his hand was raised high, the horse under his crotch paced back and forth, and the bells in Tubazan's ears jingled. "Siege the city for me and slaughter the Celestial Empire army in the city."

Rows of catapults are ready, and strong bows and crossbows are ready to go.

"Kill..."

With the shout of the Tibetan heralds, all the catapult crossbows were shot, and the overwhelming impact made the sky lose color, and the whistling sound hid all the noise.

Bang bang bang ...

The city was suddenly hit by a huge rolling stone with a dull loud thud, and the crossbow bolts pierced the roof and plunged deep into the masonry floor.

Fang Jue was also shocked by such a fierce attack, although the small world city was strong, if it was hit like this for a long time, it would inevitably not be broken.

Sou...

A crossbow arrow whistled past Fang Jue's side, piercing a soldier beside him through his chest, and the crossbow arrow went straight into the stone of the city tower, and a few drops of blood could be faintly seen on the shaft of the arrow. Before the soldier who was shot had time to show his pain, he stood stunned and motionless.

Bang...

A boulder smashed not far from Fang Jue, and the huge sound and vibration made the soldier fall down with a bang.

"General, you're alright..."

The enemy's attack was too fierce, and in the first round, he lost a lot of soldiers defending the city, and there will be more in the future. Blood and shouts, crossbow arrows and boulders, the soldiers above the city tower also fought back, and a battle to siege and defend the city officially began.
