"Go, go! Don't grind! A turkey cavalryman, spear in his hand, whipped several shepherds who were walking slowly.

One of the old herdsmen begged bitterly, despite the pain in his body: "I am such a son, my lord, please let him go, if you want to die, let me send my old bones to death!" ”

The herdsmen outside the city were not stupid, they quickly understood after they were captured by Modo that the Turgish army wanted them to carry dirt on their backs to fill the moat, and yesterday the Turgish army went to fill the moat and shot five or six hundred people to death, and this news could not be concealed.

How could anyone be willing to do this kind of thing knowing that it was a matter of death? The captured herdsmen were very resistant, and on the way to the camp, they all walked slowly, not wanting to do that kind of death, but they were forced to walk to the camp step by step under the pressure of spears, spears and bows and arrows.

When the other shepherds heard the old man's words, they began to gossip, some of them said that they were the only son in the family, and some of them said that there was a one-year-old child and an eighty-year-old mother in the family. In short, how tragic how to say.

The commander who was in charge of escorting the thousands of herdsmen saw that this situation was not good, and if these herdsmen were allowed to continue to make trouble, it would breed their rebellion, and the commander immediately picked up his bow and arrows and fired two arrows in succession, and both the old herdsman and his son were killed.

Seeing that the two people who were still alive just now were shot to death in the blink of an eye, the other herdsmen were frightened, and they were all frightened to see the surrounding Trolls and knights aiming their bows and arrows at them, and they were all so frightened that they retreated and gathered together.

Seeing that the two arrows he shot were quite deterrent, the commander was a little proud, and shouted: "See, if you grind again, this is the end!" Let me tell you, you honestly go and fill the moat with mud and still have hope of living, if you don't want to go. Then the commander will kill you all here, go or not, you choose! ”

Under the deterrence of bows and arrows, the herdsmen chose the natural way, and they all walked silently towards the camp.

On the morning of the 10th day of August, Modo again ordered the moat to be filled, and thousands of local herdsmen who had been captured and the residents of the city who had been driven out by Zhao Ziliang were all caught running towards the moat with dirt on their backs.

Zhao Ziliang was wearing armor and a helmet, a blood-red cloak behind him, holding the hilt of a knife in his left hand, and standing on the city tower with a golden nail jujube lance in his right hand. Wei Meng, Chu Ge, Li Siye, Liang Qi, Huo Kan, Zheng San and others all wore helmets and armor.

Watching thousands of herdsmen dressed in various furs rushing towards the moat with their baskets on their backs and dirt under the drive of the Turgish cavalry, Wei Meng couldn't help but say when everyone else was very nervous but didn't make a sound; "General, give the order to release the arrows, let so many people fill the moat, each person only needs to run two or three back and forth, I am afraid that the moat will be filled!"

Zhao Ziliang was silent, and it was not until the herdsmen at the front ran to the moat with the mud on their backs that he spoke: "No one is allowed to release arrows, let them fill them!" ”

Wei Meng was in a hurry: "General." At this time, you must not be kind to a woman! ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "This general is not a woman's kindness, don't you understand Moduo's intentions?" On the one hand, he used these herdsmen to fill the earth instead of the soldiers to preserve his own forces, and on the other hand, he used these men who were insignificant to him to consume our arrows, even if all of them were shot by us. Modo will not feel the slightest bit distressed, he will also make a big announcement that we have killed a large number of herdsmen, and we will be charged with indiscriminate killing of innocents! In the future, the herdsmen of the Turgish tribes will hate us."

Wei Meng listened to Zhao Ziliang's words and immediately understood. hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The subordinates are blunt, but the general is still clever, and he has seen through Moduo's treacherous scheme!" ”

"It's not how clever General Ben is. You should also use more brains when marching and fighting in the future, even if a person is brave, it is impossible to fight against thousands of troops alone, those who have courage and no strategy can always only charge into battle, and the wise can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away! So you have to be literate and read, read more, and learn more to become wise."

All the generals and colonels bent down one after another: "Subordinates and others are remembered!" ”

In front of the Turks, Modo, who was in his forties, wore a leather helmet with a wolf's tail on his head, thick cowhide armor, and a wolfskin cloak behind him.

Modo looked at the Tang army on the city tower and was indifferent to the herdsmen who rushed over to fill the soil, knowing that his strategy did not work, he was suddenly a little discouraged, if the Tang army shot those herdsmen, it would definitely consume a large number of arrows, but the other party did not send an arrow, which made his plan fail, he thought to himself, it seems that the Tang army general is not easy to deal with!

A commander next to him said happily: "Master Wanfu, if the Tang army doesn't kill those herdsmen, the moat will soon be filled, and now our siege ladder and rushing car have been built, just wait for the moat to be filled, we can attack the city!" ”

Mo Duo glanced at his commanders, and shook his head secretly, these subordinates are some reckless men who only know how to do brute, it seems that it is impossible to expect them to come up with any way to break the city, but if they want to break through General Pei City, their courage is indispensable!

Modo saw the herdsmen running back and forth three times, and from here, he could already see that the soil in the moat was almost level with the ground on both sides of the moat, and he knew that the moat was about to be filled, and he said to his commanders: "Spread the order of the commander of the army, let the infantry army get ready, prepare the siege ladders and charging vehicles, and the cavalry will sweep the formation!" ”

"Yes, Master Wanfu!"

In war, the army must be more powerful, because this is their duty, and the work is that the herdsmen are faster, and it is certainly not as efficient as the people to let the soldiers of the army do this kind of work.

The moat was finally filled in at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Modo gave the order: "Siege-"

The four thousand Turkey Cavalry Infantry was divided into four groups, the first group under the leadership of a thousand commanders began to rush towards the west city wall of General Pei, more than a dozen siege ladders were carried out, each siege ladder was carried by more than a dozen strong men to rush to the city wall, only a few of the four thousand infantry were Turks, and these small number of Turkish people held the positions of ten commanders and centurions, and most of the other infantry were not Turks, they were slaves of other races, and even white and black slaves in the West.

The soldiers of the Tang army on the city wall were all engrossed in staring at the Tuqi Shi slave infantry who were running quickly, Wei Meng was in a hurry when he saw this, and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, quickly give the order to release the arrows, these wolf cubs have rushed through the moat!" ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head and glared at Wei Meng: "What are you panicking about?" There are only a lot of arrows, so if we run out now, and then Modo will overwhelm us with archers, and then attack the city with all his infantry, what will we do? ”

Wei Meng opened his mouth: "This ・・・・・・"

Zhao Ziliang didn't care about Wei Meng, looked at the dense cavalry slave infantry under the city wall, waved his hand and ordered: "The archers retreat, the infantry step forward to scatter lime and smash stones, and smash the general!" ”

"No!"

The herald immediately conveyed the order: "The general has an order: the archers stand back, and the infantry come forward to scatter lime and stones!" ”

When the order was given, the archers retreated in a neat succession until they reached the other side of the wall, and the infantry stepped forward to lay down their shields, spears, and swords, and first grabbed two handfuls of lime from wooden barrels of lime and threw them over the heads of the cavalry infantrymen below.

I saw a patch of white dust sprinkled in front of the broken western city wall, and I heard countless voices from under the city: "Ah-my eyes, my eyes-cough-cough-cough-cough-"

As soon as the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army saw that the effect was surprisingly good, they became more powerful, and one by one they lifted the stones under their feet and smashed them down to the Tuqi Shi slave infantry who were in chaos under the city.

"Bump" one by one the Turquoise slave infantry was smashed to the ground and died, the number of people under the city was too dense, and anyone could be smashed at will.

The siege ladder that had just been put up was pushed down one by one by the soldiers of the Tang Army, and a large number of pieces were knocked down.

Zhao Ziliang held on to the wall and kept observing the situation of the Turkish infantry who were smashed and wounded heavily, and saw that although the Turkish slave infantry suffered heavy casualties at this time, the density was still very dense, and it was a good time to kill and injure a large number of enemies, so he shouted: "Smash quickly, smash hard, don't be afraid of no stones, and then move after smashing!" ”

Hearing Zhao Ziliang's figure, the Tang soldiers smashed faster and harder, the desolate screams and inspiring drums came from the city, the Tang soldiers shouted loudly while smashing the enemy with stones, and there was a steady stream of shouts and screams from the city.

A quarter of an hour later, the ladders that were pushed down were carried over by the Turgish infantry again and put on the city wall, this time the Turgish infantry learned wisely, they no longer put the top of the ladder over the wall battlement, but put the top of the ladder on the outer wall of the city wall below the battlement, only one foot away from the wall battlement, so that the Tang soldiers are not easy to push the ladder down, even if they want to push, they have to bend down and stretch their upper body out of the city wall, but this posture can not make the strength, Moreover, the Turgish infantry can easily jump onto the wall after climbing to the top of the ladder.

Zhao Ziliang saw that the enemy's ladder was erected again, and immediately shouted: "Push the ladder down!" ”

The soldiers leaned over to push the ladder, but found that they couldn't use their strength, and the enemy below had already climbed the ladder and was climbing up, and the weight was not small, and the soldiers of the Tang Army not only couldn't use their strength, but they couldn't push at all.

Zhao Ziliang leaned forward to take a look, picked up the golden nail jujube yang lance in his hand and inserted it into the gap between the cloud ladder and the city wall, and then pried it hard, the cloud ladder was pried up, and then pushed hard, the cloud ladder was pushed down, and the enemy soldiers on the cloud ladder also fell down and fell half dead, but were trampled to death by the enemy later.

"See? Just do as I do, don't let the enemy climb the ladder with peace of mind, and do everything you can to stop them from climbing the wall! Zhao Ziliang yelled.

"No!" All the soldiers agreed to push the ladder according to the method taught by Zhao Ziliang, and it was really effective. (To be continued.) )
