Standing at the head of the city, Di Linaza did not dare to relax for a moment, frowning and watching every move of the Uighur army under the city with a solemn face, and suddenly, she noticed that the Uighur army's stone throwers began to move, and many of them began to retreat, and they were placed more and more densely.

"What are the Uighurs doing here?" One of the Hami captains standing beside Dilinazar asked with a puzzled expression, saying that if the Uighurs wanted to give up the attack and retreat, he would not believe that he would be killed.

Di Linaza frowned, but after a while, she figured it out, didn't she have suffered from that person's long-range attack under Jiuquan City? A huge worry appeared on his cold face, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates beside him: "Hurry! Scatter the ballistas and push them under the wall as much as you can! ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the Uighur stone throwers began to exert their power again, and huge stones, mixed with the sound of the fierce wind, thundered towards the city of Turpan.

This time, their luck seemed to be very good, as soon as they came up, they smashed three Hami ballistas, all of which were made of wood, which could withstand the blows of boulders falling from the sky, and suddenly shattered one after another, leaving only the scum and no need to repair it.

At this moment, even the most stupid people understood that the Uighur target was the more than 100 ballistas that Hami had placed on the city's head. The ballista is a sharp weapon for the Hami army to defend the city, and it must not be lost, otherwise the front of the Hami army will be much darker.

The Hami soldiers in charge of the ballistas immediately followed Dilinaza's orders to scatter the ballistas, and then placed them all against the root of the protruding part of the wall, so that they were much less likely to be hit by the catapult, unless the stone fell vertically.

However, we all know that the stones thrown by the catapult move in a parabolic position and cannot fall vertically, so the ballista of the Hami army avoided major losses.

Di Linaza and the others also learned to be obedient, and they squatted on the wall and couldn't get up, so that they could effectively avoid the blow of the stone.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the stone throwing machine was not accurate, and it mainly relied on the experience of the operator to hit there, so it was impossible for all of them to fall accurately in front of the city wall, and some fell in front of the city wall, smashing a big pit, and some fell into the city, and I don't know whose house was smashed.

After a period of artillery preparation, the lieutenant general Chi Lu Han, who served as the vanguard, felt that the fire was almost over, pulled out the war knife in his hand and shouted: "Warriors! Rush, this time you must take Turpan! ”

Tens of thousands of Uighur warriors began their previous process again, pushing their chariots, shields, sandbags, bows and arrows, and pushing siege equipment, approaching the moat of Turpan in an orderly manner.

Dilina glanced at her waist and made sure that the Uighur army was within range, and waved her hand at a colonel with a command flag behind her. The colonel immediately understood, and waved the command flag at the catapult convoy in the city. The Hami army's stone throwers also began to roar, throwing large stones into the Uighur army outside the city without accuracy, anyway, there were many people on the other side, and whoever was killed by stoning was counted.

Although the Uighur army had learned the lessons of the last siege, the Uighur army had been slightly dispersed, but after all, the site was so large that it could not be dispersed anywhere, and some Uighur troops were still hit by large stones falling from the sky, and ended up either dead or wounded.

Several Uighur chariot soldiers were pushing the chariot forward with their heads stuffy, as long as they safely sent the soldiers behind them to the designated position, their task was completed, but they didn't think that at this time, they suddenly felt a whirring sound on their heads, and they looked up and were directly scared, and a huge stone was flying towards them quickly. By this time, it was too late to dodge, and the Uighurs and the wagons they were pushing were all smashed to pieces. The heavy infantry and archers behind them were also shocked when they saw this bloody scene, and secretly glad that the big stone had not hit them, and they didn't want to die so ugly.

However, they did not rejoice for long, and became a living target for the archers of the Hami army at the head of the city, and many of the brave Hami archers braved the blows of the boulders and stood up to shoot at them in a wave. Deprived of the cover of the chariots, the Uighurs became vulnerable, killing several and two seriously wounded by a platoon of bows and arrows, and being pulled behind the other chariots by their companions.

However, after all, the number of Hami's stone throwers is small, and what is thrown is a stone rather than a bomb, which cannot achieve the effect of blowing up one piece at a time. So, after paying a certain number of casualties, the Uighur vanguard reached the moat and began their unfinished business - river reclamation.

The Uighur hoplites, who were hiding behind the wagons, poked their heads out, untied their sandbags from their waists, and threw them into the middle of the river, splashing waves symbolizing their victory.

"Quick! Ballista! Dilinaza turned her head and shouted at the Ballista Commander lying on his side. Qianhe, who was in charge of commanding the crossbow convoy, immediately waved his hand, shook his snail beard, and shouted with a fierce look: "Don't lie on your stomach, give the rabbit cubs a little color!" ”

The Hami crossbow riders, who had received the order, immediately pushed the crossbow cart to the female wall, ignoring the boulders flying from the sky, and fired at the Uighurs, bringing down a group of Uighur soldiers.

"Quick! Load the arrows! "shouted one of the ten-men in charge of commanding the ballista, who was both the commander and the shooter of the ballista.

When one of his Hami soldiers heard this, he immediately placed a heavy arrow on the bowstring that had been drawn, and the ballista became a powerful weapon again. The Hami Centurion's eyes shone fiercely again, as if he were a tiger seeing its prey, and his eyes were aimed at a Uighur centurion who was commanding the battle through the watchout mountain on the ballista. The corner of the Hami Army's ten-division smile slightly, you are mine. However, just as he was about to pull the trigger, a sharp arrow flew in with a "whoosh" and hit him in the face.

The Hami Commander's Ten Commanders widened his eyes and scanned the city, trying to see with the last of his strength what the guy who killed him looked like, but there were so many Uighurs scattered arrows in the city that the ghost knew which one was the one who shot him in the head.

The ten-captain of the Hami army fell to his post with a full reluctance, in fact, he only wanted to kill one more Uighur.

The Captain of the Ten did not hold the corpse of the commander and weep, for they were accustomed to death, it was nothing at all, and besides, the enemy's attack was becoming more and more fierce, and the situation did not allow them to do so.
