"The offensive at the gates is about to begin!" , Li said in a deep voice. Ahura, who was laughing, immediately turned pale and responded, "I will definitely take the city gate!" ”。 Without much talking, he rode a tall horse and hurried back to the city gate.

However, at first, there was no siege. Instead, he made a big circle and returned to the place where the West Gate and the North Gate met. It turns out that the division of troops during the day is just a trick. After nightfall, the soldiers of the third battalion had already withdrawn into the ambushed position.

No matter which barracks the Khorezm army attacked, what awaited them was an empty camp sprinkled with fire oil.

At this time, the soldiers of the first battalion of Chiyan did not wear fish scale armor, but wore night clothes unique to the siege team.

This is Li Chengji's special unit for the siege of the city, and the main purpose is for the siege of the city. Take advantage of your size and sneak up the city walls. Like the battle in Salah City, this siege team contributed a lot.

Under the cover of artillery fire, they climbed the city wall for the first time. And in a very short time, consolidate the position with fireworks in hand. As a result, the vicinity of the city gate has completely become a place for the living to retreat.

They also belonged to the artillery battalion, so during the training, they also mastered some basic fireworks displays. However, compared to the soldiers of most artillery battalions, they are generally not very large. And the body is unusually athletic.

It's hard to find this in the land of the river where nomadism makes a living.

Of course, those whose development is affected by malnutrition are not counted. Although their body shape has been reached, their physical fitness is far from the standard. Therefore, Li Chengji, who has always taken the line of elite soldiers, did not take these people into account.

He set his sights on the Galcha people beyond the river, in the territory of Gur, and south of the Green Mountains. These are the Persians who originally lived in the river and in Khorasan! After the fall of the Samanid Dynasty, which was founded by the Persian-speaking people, the Turkic-speaking tribes began to rule Central Asia.

After the rule of the three Turkic-speaking tribes of Qarakhanid, Kojinin, and Seljuk, a large number of Persians had to withdraw from the plains and oases with better agricultural conditions. The Hindu Kush Mountains and the Pamir Plateau south of the Green Mountains have also increasingly become settlements for Persian-speaking people who migrated westward.

More than 200 years have passed, and these Persian mountain people have multiplied for generations and become authentic mountain people. In terms of title, it was also changed to Galcha. In later generations, they became known as Tajiks.

Although the body is much taller than those mountain and forest tribes in Southeast Asia. However, because they live in the mountains at high altitudes all year round, the climatic conditions are harsh. Therefore, the physical fitness is much more vigorous than that of the average nomadic tribe.

In the absence of better candidates, Lee Seungji can only choose them.

But Lee Seung-ji also has the mentality of trying! After all, on the battlefield, their role is really limited. Therefore, the entire siege squad consisted of only three hundred men and was under the control of the artillery battalion. In terms of status, it is very low.

At the moment, Ahura and the others easily hid in a sparse wood, and from beginning to end, they did not attract the attention of the defenders of the city.

Speaking of which, I don't know what the defenders of Tus City thought that they had left such a dark place under the lights. Although the distance from the two city gates in the northwest is not close, the distance of ten miles is not too far. Coupled with the cover of the woods, it is still easy to hide hundreds of people.

After waiting for a short time, a group of Khorezm soldiers hurriedly approached the city gate. Ahura immediately asked his men to change into the clothes of the Khorezm soldiers and prepare to leave. This was stripped from the captive, and now it just comes in handy.

By this time, the first group of routs had arrived near the city gates.

"Open the gates! Open the gates! ", one of the routs shouted. Since there were already people in the city to answer them, the defenders only glanced at them a few times before opening the corner gates on both sides.

At this moment, another group of routs rushed over.

Because the speed was too fast, he immediately caught up with the first batch of routs entering the city.

Seeing that the clothes were the same as their own, the panic on the faces of these routs decreased a little. As he entered the city, he shouted at the defenders who opened the door: "We have been ambushed!" It's all fire! It's all fire! ”。

I saw that many people still had scorch marks left on their bodies. The soldiers who defended the city believed most of it. Then he rushed into the second group of routs, without discernment. This relieved Ahura, who was highly vigilant in his heart.

But the one who stayed behind was a cronie of Yinareshu!

With instinctive alertness to the battlefield, he immediately had the gates closed. After all, if you are ambushed on the battlefield, there must be a follow-up move. Thinking about the current situation, he immediately realized that the enemy's goal was probably the city gate.

But by the time he realized this, it was already too late.

But it was the third group of routs who rushed to the city, and saw that the defenders didn't care about their own lives and closed the city gate ruthlessly. All of them cried for their fathers and mothers, which made many defenders inevitably endure it. The action of closing the door unconsciously slowed down.

In addition, some routs who acted excessively took the initiative to attack the defenders. So that the corner gates on both sides could not be closed for a while.

You know, the number of this third group of defeated soldiers is quite large. At a cursory glance, there are at least a hundred of them. And behind them, there is a fourth and fifth batch. Therefore, after only a slight delay, the number of defeated troops near the city gate increased by more than 100.

Seeing this, the lieutenant general defending the city immediately ordered the defenders of the city to shoot arrows at the routed troops blocking near the corner gate. At the same time, let the soldiers who have entered the city be stopped, and their weapons will be collected.

But at this moment, a firework suddenly exploded above the city gate. The blooming scene illuminates the night sky brilliantly and dazzlingly.

Although he didn't know what it was, the lieutenant who was defending the city instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Especially the burners, or the rout soldiers who have just rushed in.

Sure enough, his hunch was right. In the next second, there was a sudden sound of swishing and breaking through the air. But it was from the southwest, and hundreds of fireballs suddenly shot out.

Before the lieutenant could take a closer look, the fireball had already rushed in front of him. With a bang, it exploded. A fresh life also disappeared in an instant with the fireworks.

The entire city was also turned into a place of fireworks in an instant.

Boom Boom Boom · The quiet night was broken, and the darkness of the night was torn apart by fireworks. Li Weiwei, who was besieging Khorezm's army, saw the fire on the top of the city, and immediately ordered: "Plug all the gaps!" ”。

Previously, in order to deceive the city gate, he deliberately left a gap. As a result, many of the defeated troops were able to escape from the fire and return to Tus. Now that he heard the sound of fireworks bursting, he already knew that the plan he had arranged had succeeded!

Therefore, there is no need for these enemies in the sea of fire to let go.
