Chapter 74: Assault

With the treasure armor, Yang Shuang didn't have any desire for the divine soldier, but felt that he should change his mount.

After only running two hundred miles, he was tired of six war horses!

No matter how local a tyrant is, he can't afford to play with such consumption.

It's not how fast your own side is rushing, but your own weight, plus your armor and sword, is already more than four hundred catties!

This reminded him of Guan Erye, who did not have Chitu.

"Third baby, when Ma Lao Er returned from the Western Regions, did he get lost?"

"Yes, big brother, there are a few rangers who like to dig treasures, and there are countless treasures buried in the black swamp where the horses are lost, so it's not surprising that they have a way to cross."

"After the war, spend a lot of money to invite those rangers back, I have a lot of use!"

"Big brother, it's a trivial matter, wrap it up on me!" The bearded man who heard the conversation turned his head in response.

Yang Shuang didn't want to dig for treasure, but fell in love with the rhinoceros with long hair all over his body!

In fact, in his heart, the donkey that fused the elephant soul was even more domineering when he put on horse armor, but unfortunately, the beast was brought into the Turks by the incognito Changsun Sheng!

Hey?

Wrong!

The mares in Yumenguan are all pregnant, and if you calculate the time, you will be able to give birth to more than 200 mules in the spring of the next year, which can be regarded as ruining a generation of foals.

And the donkey runs to the Turks every day to go to Hoho, how can those stallions on the steppe live?

After that guy fused with the elephant soul, his body size skyrocketed, far surpassing that of a war horse, and with the "hoof" skill (which can kick and kill creatures smaller than his own body), unless someone wants to kill it, he can definitely run rampant on the prairie!

And, that thing is full of energy and lustful by nature......

Could it be that in a few years, the Turks were going to ride south on mules?

Yang Shuang was a little confused.

Doesn't it mean that the war horses in the Northern Regions will face an extinction crisis in more than ten years?

You know, mules aren't fertile!

But then again, there seems to be something wrong with this guess!

"Big brother, the Turkic Sentinel has been spotted ahead!"

"Speed up!"

The ancient city of Dunhuang in the distance was in sight, Yang Shuang temporarily put aside his thoughts, not because he liked to wander, but because of the pressure brought by the Turks, he had to have fun in the bitterness.

"Squeak····· Squeaky ······"

Four hundred soldiers marched ahead, each carrying a long pole, and many straw men hung on both sides of the pole.

The carriage was even denser around, and in addition to transporting siege equipment, each carriage also carried several slender drying racks, on which countless 'hanged ghosts' were carried.

These hanged ghosts, with no head and no body, hair fluttering above and clothes fluttering below, dressed in a variety of clothes, including Turkic military uniforms, horse thieves, and ordinary merchants' plainclothes.

The head, the Turk who had been killed three days earlier.

Clothes are the spoils of war that have been accumulated over the years.

This is Yang Shuang's "army of 10,000 people"!

There are still five miles near Dunhuang, and the soldiers began to set up camp.

More than a dozen watchtower materials have already been prepared, and with the help of the system, they quickly rise from the ground, connected by horses, and then set up tents, and set up countless hanged ghosts, and a camp is formed in a moment.

And a thousand laborers also assembled trebuchets, bed crossbows, and ladders.

Guard towers, barracks, city walls, etc., can be built infinitely as long as there are materials. But the construction machinery factory also has a blacksmith shop, which can only be put into reality one.

No, after upgrading the second-level town center, it is already possible to put two of them!

But Yang Shuang couldn't waste this incomparably precious place anywhere, in case it was destroyed by the enemy, I don't know if it would regenerate. As a result, large equipment had to be transported with human and animal power.

Perhaps the system also believes that the laborious, crude trebuchets and improvised bed crossbows are not very technical, and that all they need to build is a little wood and a soldier's soul.

Fifty trebuchets with seven hundred laborers.

Each one is ten people pulling the lever, two people reloading, one person operating, and one person commanding.

and fifty bed crossbows, with three hundred laborers.

Each one is carried by four people, one person fills and one person launches.

The trebuchet pointed to the city of Dunhuang.

The bed crossbow was placed at the rear of the military town, and the crossbow target was the camp that had just been set up!

The sky is still not bright, and in the sky, the crescent moon and stars are still shining.

Yang Shuang took the lead, majestically with 400 soldiers, and came to the south gate of Dunhuang.

"Turkic dog thief, can anyone dare to fight with Lao Tzu?"

On the city walls, Tush and the middle-aged man stared at the familiar figure.

Rahu?!

No!

It's just that the clothes are similar to Rahu's, and this man is more burly than Rahu.

On top of that, he's bald!

"I heard that Rahu, who can fight well and has superior military strength, has repeatedly been defeated in the hands of a bald head, is this the person?" Thush frowned.

The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, "It seems that Rahu's retreat is not lying, the short-haired strong man, nine times out of ten, this is the person!" ”

"Lord Ye Hu, I want to go out of the station!"

The hesitation between Tush and the middle-aged man made the seven fierce men of April and Saturday angry, and they all walked out of the queue and knelt down with one hand to protect their chests and ask for battle.

"Don't rush for the time being, wait until dawn!" Tush waved his hand and politely refused, turning his head to look at the herald behind him, "Have the sentry riders ever gone to Yangguan?" ”

"Qi Qi Ye Hu, the sentry cavalry has already set off, calculate the time, and now it is estimated that we should meet with Saltu!"

"A hundred miles away, half an hour is enough, so let the sons and daughters be on guard!"

As soon as Tush's words fell, his pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw countless tall figures, standing out of the darkness, and the target was the city!

"Trebuchet ?!!"

"Shhh····· There are fifty?! ”

"According to the Sui army, this must be a medium-sized trebuchet, each of which requires a hundred people to operate, so this is five thousand people?!"

"It's coming!" The middle-aged man's expression was slightly dignified, and his eyes looked through the hazy moonlight, and he saw the four hundred sword and shield soldiers guarding in front of the trebuchet phalanx, lined up in a long snake formation, and they were the first to enter his own warning range.

Behind the trebuchet, five ladders and two carts were also revealed.

At this point, the two sides are only a stone's throw away!

"The whole army withdrew from the city wall, and the heralds were on alert!!"

The Turks were not good at defending the city, but Tush knew how to defend it.

It is undoubtedly stupid to resist the terrifying number of trebuchets on the city walls!

The opponent only has five ladders, and his own troops are sufficient, so he is not afraid that they will make up trebuchets to suppress the gap and forcibly attack the city!

"Put !!"

As soon as Tush and the middle-aged man stepped down from the gatehouse, dozens of skull-sized stones fell from the sky.

"Boom ······"

"Prepare to storm!" Yang Shuang looked up to the sky and roared.

"Kill !!"

The trebuchet, which had only thrown two rounds, immediately stopped working, and all the soldiers who lined up in a long line of snakes and thousands of laborers rushed to the city wall with ladders and chariots.

"Woo woo·····"

Hiding behind the battlements, the Turkic heralds, who were lucky enough to escape, hurriedly blew their horns.

"Quick! Upper city walls!! ”

Tush's face changed, he never expected that the trebuchet on the opposite side, which had such a terrifying number, would not play according to the routine!

If it were him, he would definitely bombard the city all morning, and then attack the city!

When the time comes, the wall will collapse and the enemy will suffer heavy casualties, and you will be able to reduce your own casualties.

What the hell is the Lord on the other side doing?

"Ye Hu, is that bald head a useless embroidered pillow? Won't lead troops to war at all? The middle-aged man looked surprised.

"Hurry up the walls! Stop the offensive! ”

The Turkic soldiers, who were hiding behind the city walls, preparing to sleep or close their eyes to recuperate, were awakened by the horns, quickly picked up their weapons, crowded and pushed, and desperately rushed to the predetermined defensive point.

Under the city.

Yang Shuang, who rushed to the forefront, saw the crowds surging on the city wall, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

The soul of the soldier switched, and the sword and shield soldier collected the sword and back shield, and quickly took out the bow and crossbow.

Waving the flag, the thousand laborers who followed the charge retreated like a tidal wave.

"Ten Thousand Arrows !!"
