Chapter 154: Preparation
A soldier immediately took the place of the Captain of the Ten and fired a vengeful arrow at the Uighurs, piercing the gut of one of the Uighur archers who was drawing their bows.
"Quick! Reload the arrows! The Hami soldier shouted that whoever was the shooter was in charge of the ballista in the absence of a commander. One of the soldiers next to him immediately inserted the heavy arrow, and just as the shooter soldier was aiming, he heard a loud "thud" - a ballista next to them was smashed to pieces.
The soldiers in charge of operating the ballista were stoned to death, one had a broken leg, and sat on the ground screaming in pain.
The tragic scene next to him did not attract the attention of the Hami ballista archer at all, and without even looking at it, he continued to focus on the Uighurs, and then fired a heavy arrow.
The brutal war has turned them all into simple killing machines, they have forgotten the pain, they have forgotten the sorrow, they just do what they have to do mechanically, and the killing is completely fixed into a program.
Under the concentrated attack of the Uighur treults, Hami's ballista suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to shoot at the Uighurs as openly as the previous time, so the density of firepower was greatly reduced, which created great convenience for the Uighur river-reclamation troops.
The Uighur heavy infantry, under the cover of chariots and archers, quickly and orderly moved into the moat, which was still sandbagging, and in less than an hour, the wide moat in front of Turpan was filled to the bottom.
When Di Linaza saw this scene, her silver teeth creaked, and she had no other way but to prepare to defend the city desperately, hoping that he could come over with the army as soon as possible.
Seeing that the moat was almost filled, Bor suddenly did not rush to issue a general attack order, but chose Mingjin to withdraw his troops, for a simple reason - it was dark.
In ancient times, the communication system was poor, and the generals' ability to control the troops was very weak; during the day, the war and the control of the army all relied on golden drums and flags, and at night the flags were not used, and the troops were easy to run away, and those who were blind in the dark did not have searchlights, and it was easy to injure their own people by mistake. Therefore, in ancient times, generals who led their troops to fight would generally choose to collect their troops at night, sleep for a while, and wake up the next day to continue working.
Although this is usually the case, no one dares to guarantee that the other side will not attack at night, so whether it is the head of Turpan or the camp of the Uighur army, it is brightly lit, and the scenery is quite spectacular from a distance.
In the middle of the night, most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep, except for the soldiers who were on guard, but Di Linaza did not dare to sleep, she had to take people to patrol the city for the last time before she could fall asleep.
Di Lina was dressed in military uniform, with a few guards patrolling the city, and both sides of the city wall were full of Hami soldiers leaning against the base of the wall, holding weapons and sleeping soundly, quite a taste of pillowing and waiting. Di Linaza didn't make a sound to disturb them, after all, after a day of fighting, no one is tired, and rest at this time is the biggest benefit for them.
After the inspection of the city, Di Linaza took people around the street again, the people in Turpan City are cleaning the roads in the city under the command of officials, and the others are all small things, the roads must be kept unblocked at all times, otherwise once the matter is urgent, it will be very inconvenient to support.
Some of them had lost their families and some of their houses in the daytime fighting, but now each of them did not care about their sadness, because they knew that if the city was lost, according to the Uighur morals, the people of the city would surely die, except for the women, but it would be better to live than to die.
Driven by the desire to survive and the urging of officials, some of these people carried boulders thrown by the Uighurs on the road, while others cleared the rubble in the middle of the road, and worked in full swing despite fatigue and hunger.
Di Linaza suddenly stopped walking as she walked, looking at the big stones in the city, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her originally dignified face, and she turned to the commander of the Hami army who was following her, and said, "Let the people move these big stones and large pieces of rubble to the city, and return them to the Uighur dog thieves tomorrow with interest!" ”
When the captain heard this, he was happy, grinned, showed a row of teeth that were not white, and the beard on his face was beating with a very incongruous frequency under the pulling of excited muscles, and said: "The minister knows, tomorrow will definitely make the Uighur dog thief look good!" ”
Didn't you fill in the moat? After filling it up, it's time to attack the city, and it's time to climb the ladder to attack the city, and then these big stones you throw up will definitely make you extremely happy.
At this time, I didn't care about cherishing the people's strength, and the enemy had all hit the city, and I had to win first anyway. After receiving the princess's order, the Hami officials in Turpan urged the people in the city to carry huge stones to the top of the city in Turpan.
Seeing that the restoration of the city defense of Turpan City was being carried out in an orderly manner, Di Linaza finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she could sleep peacefully this time, although there were many Uighur soldiers and horses, it was impossible to rush to the city of Turpan at once, the main force of the Hami army in the city was still there, and the bows and arrows and equipment were also well prepared, and within three days, she was confident that she would resist the enemy outside the city gate.
Di Linaza returned to the residence, this is a set of three in and three out of the independent courtyard, is a rich man in the city temporarily gave to the princess, because the city lives here for the sake of the main general, the periphery of the courtyard is very tight, but Di Linazha is a woman in the end, and a beauty, so it is not convenient for the male guards to protect closely, so the second and third layers of protection in this courtyard are all done by the female guards.
After returning to her boudoir, Dilinaza took off her heavy armor under the service of a female guard, and suddenly felt relaxed, and unconsciously turned her shoulders.
Then, the female guard carefully pulled off Di Linazha's hairpin, and in an instant, all of Di Linaza's hair, like a waterfall, poured down, reaching her buttocks, revealing an unbeatable brilliance.
At this time, another female guard came in lightly and reported: "Princess Qiyu, the water has been boiled, please go and take a bath." ”
Di Linaza shook her hair, took off the bracer on her forearm and threw it on the table, without looking at the female guard, and said lightly: "Got it." ”
Men can go to war for ten days and a half without bathing, but women can't, wearing so heavy armor during the day and sweating so much, and they can't sleep without washing at night, so it is very troublesome for a woman to join the army, but fortunately, the main force of the Hami army in Turpan City is a man, and this woman is only responsible for mental work.
