Chapter 199: Scarlet Yangguan

After sending the two letters, Yang Shuang, who returned to Yangguan, was just about to move the bench to watch the big play, but suddenly woke up.

What is the relationship between Apo and Tuyuhun?

Now that the Western Regions have been taken by themselves, if the Murong brothers are really ready to hold a Hongmen banquet, get out of the control of the Western Turkic Datou, and take Abo's head to hug Sha Boluo's thighs, will their own reminder to Apo be considered a snake to add to the snake?

Without his own reminder, if Apo was caught in the trick and unfortunately died in the Tuyuhun military camp, wouldn't the already grief-stricken 50,000 Turkic soldiers and horses go berserk?

In order to avenge Apo, they will definitely fight with Tuyuhun outside Yangguan, and then they can completely reap the benefits of the fisherman.

And now, with their own reminders, although the two sides will be separated, they will only be on guard against each other, and will not fight!

"Jiao, it's cheap!" Yang Shuang was remorseful, and he had the urge to chop his hands.

"What's wrong with Big Brother?" Shi Da, who had returned, was still happy about the successful implementation of the discord plan, and hurriedly asked when he saw Yang Shuang's remorseful appearance.

"It's fine!" For the sake of face, of course, someone will not say this.

However, if you think about it from another perspective, whether Aposhin believes the news delivered by his own side or not, he must be in a hurry to return to the prairie!

Returning to the steppe, the Turkic soldiers and horses will definitely not go to the Longmen Gorge again, after all, the Zuo Wuwei, who was broken through the defense line once, must be well defended now.

If you ask where is the closest to the Altai steppe, it must be Yangguan!

Thinking of this, Yang Shuang's face suddenly turned miserable.

This is completely idle and looking for something to do, reminding Apo what to do!

"Assemble! Assemble the whole army! ”

Knock knock!

The three-way war drums sounded, and the lights were bright up and down Yangguan.

The sword and shield soldiers in the city were all on standby, and the bed crossbows and trebuchets were all busy.

Below, the wolf-headed dao was standing in the wind in the sea of torches, and Apo led a dozen generals to ride horses and stand in front of the army.

Unlike the Tuyuhun siege, the Turkic 30,000 iron cavalry were dispatched, and 20,000 controlled the strings to protect the two wings, which could not only guard against the Murong brothers on the west side, but also threaten the defenders with cavalry and archery.

The vast array in the twilight brought Yangguan the illusion that black clouds were about to destroy the city.

Yang Shuang took a deep breath, waved the command flag, and his soldiers immediately erected their battle shields.

And Apo also waved his horsewhip, so that the army of 30,000 pressed down.

The general attack that came ahead of schedule!

"Kill!"

Due to the darkness of the sky, there was no pre-battle dialogue between the two main generals.

Not only that, but the Turkic siege soldiers immediately launched a rapid charge as soon as they climbed the ladder and took their positions.

The flanked iron horses cruised, covering the next ** rain of arrows.

Under the stillness and movement, the entire battlefield was instantly pushed up to the fiery high court.

All the siege equipment made by Tuyuhun had been burned before, but the Turks had been preparing during the day.

Therefore, the ladders they used to attack the city were denser than those of Tuyuhun.

A siege team of 1,000 people, like a long snake covering the earth, attacked rapidly from the darkness, and the scene was really shocking.

"Trebuchet ready!"

Three hundred meters closer to the pass, there was a tooth-aching sound from the wooden instruments operated by laborers behind them.

"Put!"

Whining!

The sound of cannon tips cutting through the air resounded throughout the battlefield, and countless rolling stones the size of heads streaked across the sky.

The moment it hits the ground, it doesn't seem to be any different from a bowling home run.

People turned on their backs, howling miserably.

But the Turks did not stop, and the soldiers in the rear picked up the ladder and continued to rush upward.

And the trebuchet in the rear, under the command of Lu Xiaobu, was reloaded again. Thousands of laborers who fused with the souls of the people were divided into nearly 100 groups, operating their own killing machines in a uniform manner and like machines.

Yang Shuang didn't have time to enjoy the grand scene of the ballista washing the floor, and waved the other two flags tied to torches again.

"Bed crossbow ready!"

The enemy is two hundred meters closer to the pass!

"Put!"

"Archer prepare!"

"Ten thousand arrows!"

Whoosh!

It's a war of attrition.

The difference is that in order to return to the steppe, the Turks are using their lives to consume the crossbows and physical strength of the Yangguan defenders.

After two sticks of incense.

The Turkic iron cavalry, which had paid thousands of soldiers and horses, finally approached the city wall of the pass.

Countless stray arrows flew up the walls with flaming light, and then a second group of Iron Horsemen fired sharp feathered arrows from their hands.

On the city wall, the sword and shield soldiers stood still, even if their armor was ignited by rockets made of animal fat, they still held the battle shield to protect the archers beside them.

Whining!

The trebuchet continued to roar, and the bed crossbow continued to fire.

The Turks, who poured up on the corpses of their own people, fell again in large numbers, but then countless more men and horses came out.

It's like they're stuck in an endless loop!

But Yang Shuang knew that there were still ten rounds left in the trebuchet, and the bed crossbow was almost exhausted.

"Prepare for the wolf's tooth shoot!"

Syllable!

No matter how fast a thousand archers shoot, they can't keep up with the speed of the 30,000 army.

By the time the bed crossbow had stopped, and before the slow-firing trebuchet could be thrown, the Turks had pressed the ladder against the battlement.

"Put!"

Forty or fifty ladders made the wolf fangs on the city wall a little stretched, and the sword and shield soldiers with push rods went out one after another, shouting trumpets, and braving the rain of arrows to overturn the ladders.

But as a result, there were casualties on their own side.

After the pass, the five hundred sword and shield soldiers who rested for a day and a night quickly filled the gap.

And Shi Da led more than a dozen deputy teams to train the bandits.

As for what to train, it is nothing more than what needs to be paid attention to in defending the city.

When more than half of the 2,500 sword and shield soldiers are killed or wounded, it will be their turn to fill the gap!

"Report! Horse lost urgently! ”

Yang Shuang's face was calm, and he took the parchment from the sentry horse calmly.

The battle of Yangguan seems to have exceeded everyone's expectations.

As a logistics base, Ma Lost, for a while, there was not so much baggage to transport.

As a result, Dong Da Hammer had to violate the previous regulations and start cutting down the trees in the horse's path.

After rushing overnight, 20,000 arrows and 2,000 long crossbows will be shipped early tomorrow morning.

After reading the content of the parchment, Yang Shuang summoned the sentry rider again, "Tell Dong Da Hammer that no matter what method is used, even if the horse is lost, all the residents must transport 100,000 arrows before tomorrow evening!" ”

"Yes, General!"

How many arrows are 20,000?

Not much at all!

All to a thousand archers, each of them can get twenty.

Now bows and arrows are not rifles and sniper rifles, but area-of-area weapons.

If you're lucky, ten feather arrows for one life, and if you're unlucky, a hundred feather arrows cover the past, maybe all of them will be blocked by the shield!

The most important weight to defend the city is not rolling stones and sasswood, nor trebuchets and bed crossbows, but arrows!

Trebuchets and bed crossbows may seem powerful, but the results are not brilliant at all, and they bring psychological pressure to the Turks.

What can effectively kill and injure enemy troops is still a conventional weapon!

"Kill!"

Like the day, the wolf's teeth were destroyed by the Turks with their lives, and then one by one the men with disheveled hair climbed up.

The knife slashed and stabbed, and the blood stained Yangguan.

Yang Shuang kicked one of them, looked left and right, and found that outside the pass, the iron cavalry was still shooting coveringly, and immediately prepared to use another trap.

"Retreat! Put them up! ”
