Chapter 152: Siege
The centurion of the Hami army did not care about his grief, and immediately turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "Come and take his place with a pant!" Immediately, a Hami soldier removed his recently dead companion and placed him at his post.
The crossbow of the Hami army is not only this one, there is already a lot of inventory in Turpan City, and Di Linaza thinks that if you want to collect the city, this long-range attack weapon is indispensable, so when you come, you basically bring the crossbow in Hami City, and it has been arranged in place at this time.
Looking at the shallower and shallower moat, Di Linazha's heart rose with anxiety, a pair of phoenix eyes were full of cold light, silver teeth bitten, and shouted at the ballista commander beside him: "Give them some color!" ”
The commander of the ballista was a thousand-commander, and he had long wanted to show his skills, and after he got the princess's instructions, he was full of luck, and brewed all the fire in his chest into his voice, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Serve them some big dishes! ”
One hundred and ten ballistae roared in unison, many of them multi-barreled ballistas capable of firing three arrows, the power of the ballistas was equivalent to that of the ancient bazookas, and the heavy arrows mixed with great force rained down into the Uighur army.
Although protected by chariots and shields, the Hami army was a low-pitched and condescending force, and could always find a dead end, and in an instant many Uighur soldiers were shot by the heavy arrows on the ballista and some were even nailed to the ground.
"Archers! Fast! Suppress their firepower! A Uighur commander shouted that he was trying to crush the Hami army at the head of the city with a dense array of bows and arrows, so as to reduce the casualties on his side. However, it backfired, and the Hami army, having tasted the sweetness, quickly began to reload the ballistas, and the archers at the head of the city also began to shoot at the enemy troops below in order to cover their teammates, and in any case, it was more comfortable to shoot arrows at the top of the city than under the city.
"Quick! Hurry up and load the arrows! Commander Hami, who was in charge of commanding the ballista, commanded, "Load it and launch it, don't wait for orders, let those Uighur cubs taste our awesomeness!" ”
None of the Hami soldiers under his command answered his words, because everyone was very busy, just do what the commander said, why bother, the Hami army is also a well-trained army.
After the crossbow convoy of the Hami army loaded the crossbow carts, they fired a powerful shot at the Uighur army that was at the front, and this time released more than 100 Uighur troops, disrupting their attack rhythm, and the Uighur army behind was frightened when they saw this situation, and they did not dare to move forward.
"Come again!" Di Linaza was very excited to see that the results were good, and a smile appeared on her cold face, at this time, what could be more pleasing than an effective attack? Immediately ignoring the previous image of the goddess, she shouted at the top of her voice: "Quick! Load your arrows! Shoot these brutes back! ”
The Hami army carried out a third wave of ballista attacks, which completely knocked back the temper of the Uighurs. An archer was just about to release arrows at the head of the city, when he suddenly saw his companion being shot by the heavy arrows of the huge ballista, and he was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he could not pull his bow away. When the centurion beside him saw him like this, he was furious in his heart, and he put a whip on his back, and scolded: "Fuck, coward! You are not worthy to be a warrior of my Uighurs, shoot the arrows quickly, or Lao Tzu will cut you with a sword. It is a pity that as soon as the centurion finished speaking, he received an arrow in his throat, and he did not snort, but fell straight down. When the Uighur archer saw that his companion and commander had been shot, he was so frightened that he could not bother to shoot back, and then turned and ran. Like him, many of the Uighurs began to waver at the fall of their comrades, and many of the former soldiers began to retreat despite the invectives of their superiors.
The Uighur general Borhu, though known for his bravery, was not a brainless fool, and when he saw the ferocity of the Hami army's ballistas, he knew that his attack would not be effective, because the morale of the soldiers had been destroyed.
If the order is forced to continue the attack, there will be a lot of casualties, and if this casualty exceeds the psychological limit of the soldiers, they will collapse and the consequences will be unimaginable.
So at this time, he chose to withdraw the army, it doesn't matter, wait for Lao Tzu to cultivate and then play slowly with you, anyway, most of the cities are not drummed down, and it is not ashamed to retreat once.
Looking at the retreating Uighur army, Dilinazar and the Hami defenders breathed a sigh of relief, but each of them was not at ease, because they knew that this was only a temporary retreat for the Uighur army, and that more severe challenges awaited them in the future.
As the commander-in-chief of the attack force, the deputy general Chiluhan was very dissatisfied and found the general Borhu and complained: "General, how long has it been since you fought for a while, why do you want to withdraw the troops?" ”
Bol suddenly knew the temper of the deputy general, as soon as he heard the sound of the horn, his whole body was like chicken blood, every hair would stand up excitedly, and when he smelled the smell of blood, it was even more excited than a tiger that had been hungry for ten days to see its prey, but the two armies fought not only with blood and courage, but more importantly, with the mastery of the rhythm of the attack, he smiled slightly, and said: "The deputy general doesn't need to be anxious, the Hami army is all relying on the ballistas on the head of the city, if we don't solve them, then our warriors will be even if they hit the edge of the city wall of Turpan, There will also be heavy casualties, and this is not worth it. ”
Chilu Han is a quick temper, as a brave general, he is eager for military merit to the point of outrageousness, and regardless of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, he yelled at Bol: "Then what do you say? ”
Bol grinned, the screw mustache on his mouth with the change of muscles, outlining an unsightly arc, with a confident look, said: "You go and gather all the stone-throwing machines, and aim at the ballista on the head of Turpan City, I want to see if their ballista is powerful, or the general's stone-throwing machine!" ”
The straight-tempered Chilu Han who said this sentence also opened up in his heart, didn't you rely on your ballista to be sharp? No matter how powerful the ballista is, it can't go far with the stone thrower, wait for Lao Tzu to scrap all your ballista, see what else do you use to argue with Lao Tzu? He immediately beat his chest with his right fist and shouted: "Don't worry, general, I will not let you down this time!" ”
After saying that, he bowed to Bol again, then turned to leave, and went to redeploy the attack.
