Chapter 150: War

No one is not afraid of death, the Uighur colonel was so frightened that his face turned white when he heard this, and after a while, he pretended to be calm and said: "The two countries are not fighting each other, and the dignified princess Hami doesn't even know this truth?" But the slightest tremor in his tone had already betrayed him.

Di Linaza snorted coldly, the murderous intent in her eyes became even stronger, and she still said in a cold tone: "Kill the envoy to raise my might, this princess just wants to borrow your head to tell everyone that we Hami are not afraid of you Uighurs at all!" Still stunned for what to do, pull it down, cut it! ”

When the two Hami warriors heard the princess's order, they immediately knocked the Uighur colonel to the ground and pinned him to the ground.

Before he died, the Uighur colonel burst out with amazing strength and struggled desperately, scolding as he struggled: "You don't have long to live, and when our general Borhu breaks through the city, we will definitely kill you without a single piece of armor!" Rape and then kill you, a vicious woman! ”

The Uighur Colonel's death-threatening force was a strain for the two Hami warriors who were holding him down, but they soon became relieved, for one of the axemen quickly drew his sword, cut off his head, and threw his head into the moat, splashing a small wave.

When the Uighur army not far away saw this scene, they knew that the envoys they had sent had been cut down, and they were all furious and indignant, and everyone held their breath in their stomachs, and vowed to break through the city of Turpan and kill the people inside.

The deputy general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Chiluhan, was a brave Mongolian man, and his temper was also very explosive, seeing this scene, he was so angry that his nose was crooked, and his face was full of beard and trembling under the encouragement of the cheeks, and he was very tiger-like, and turned around and shouted loudly to Bol beside him: "General, give the order to attack the city!" I would like to be a pioneer! ”

Bolhu is also a famous general known for his bravery, he originally hated this kind of pre-battle negotiation, since the two armies have begun to fight, just start fighting directly, and talk about a yarn, the city is captured after all, not by mouth, a trace of coldness flashed in the small and narrow eyes, and the killing intent on his face was leaping up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and shouted: "Chilu Han, give you 50,000 elite soldiers, serve as the main force of the attack, and attack the city!" ”

"Whew!" A long roar resounded in the wilderness outside Turpan, followed by a dense drum beat. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is clever, this dull drum can not only spread far and wide, so that all the soldiers hear that they are about to attack, but also stimulate the long-hidden fighting spirit in the hearts of men. Every Uighur soldier breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of the dense and dull drums, and his eyes grew more and more in his chest, and his sharp eyes stared at the lonely city of Turpan like a wolf pack seeing its prey, vowing to pour out the wrath in their chests on this small border city.

The Uighur army's main direction of attack was west of the city, and the 50,000 elite troops under the command of the deputy general Chiluhan were in charge, and the 50,000 Uighur troops set up a siege formation and shouted "Break the city!" Break the city! The slogan came to intimidate the enemy, and he approached the city of Turpan step by step.

Their siege formation was similar to that of the Hami army, with chariots and shields in front, archers and heavy infantry following closely behind, and huge siege chariots behind them, and after the heavy infantry had filled the moat, they rushed to the enemy's city and rammed the gates.

Hami was a small country and did not have the strength to equip artillery like the Ming army, so it could only use the most primitive siege methods of the Mongols, erecting a few stone throwers in the city, and using the power of huge levers to throw boulders out of the city as a means of long-range attack.

Seeing that the Uighur army had entered the firing range, a trace of murderous aura flashed on Di Linaza's cold and pretty face, and a resolute light flashed in her beautiful eyes. ”

The stone throwers in the city broke the reins at the same time, and the big stones swished over the city walls and smashed out of the city.

In an instant, several Uighur carts were smashed, and the Uighur soldiers who were hit were either killed or wounded.

When Di Linaza attacked Jiuquan City guarded by Geng Bingwen with his father, he also used a stone thrower to attack the city wall of the Ming army, but in front of the Ming army equipped with cannons, the stone thrower seemed to be particularly outdated, not only huge in size, easy to be targeted, but also very close in range, three hundred meters is already the limit, so their stone throwers have not yet entered the range, and most of them were destroyed by the Ming army's artillery, which made King Hami feel distressed for a long time.

After this battle, Di Linaza fully realized the power of artillery, and originally she also wanted to find some craftsmen to imitate the cannon, but before she could implement it, she encountered such a thing, and she had to use a stone thrower to deal with it first.

However, the Uighur army was also equipped with a large number of stone throwers, and seeing that the Hami army was so arrogant, the Uighur army's stone throwing brigade, which had already entered the firing range, under the orders of the commander, manipulated the stone throwing machines to pour out bursts of anger in their hearts towards the city of Hami.

The Uighur army had many more stone throwers than the Hami army, and the big stones fell into the city of Turpan like rain, seven feet into the ground, and those who were hit by them did not need to look at it, and they would definitely die and not die again.

A centurion of the Hami army was commanding the battle at the head of the city, and one was accidentally hit by a boulder in the sky, and his brain burst out, becoming the first officer of the Hami army to be killed. However, although this stone is terrifying, its movement speed is not fast, and it is completely within the range of the naked eye, and some experienced veterans can judge the approximate location of the stone according to its trajectory thrown in the sky, and then skillfully avoid it.

Rao is like this, it is difficult for anyone to have the experience of dodging the stones flying down from the sky, dodging the arrows shot from under the city, and then fighting back at the enemy, and the defenders of the Hami army were in a hurry by the boulders flying from the sky.

People can hide from stones, but the animals in the city can't hide from them, many houses have been smashed one after another, rubble is scattered all over the streets, people who have not had time to escape are buried in the rubble, the noise of the streets, the shouts of adults, the cries of children, and the sound of children are heard one after another. This is the cruelty of war, and ordinary people have nothing to do with it, but they suffer the most.

Fast! Come on! "A Hami centurion led a dozen Hami warriors running through the streets carrying a huge crossbow that they had just made this morning, and had not had time to equip it with the Uighur attack.
