Chapter 151: Filling the Ditch (Second Update)

A dozen Hami warriors escorted the cart and crossbow through the chaotic streets, and strict military discipline made them the only seemingly orderly organization on the street.

"Woohoo! Mother! "A little boy of five or six years old was sitting on the street crying and calling for his mother, his home had just been hit by a boulder, the house was smashed, and his mother did not run out, he was buried inside. He was a helpless little boy who could do nothing but sit on the ground and weep, hoping that a good Samaritan could help him.

Unfortunately, however, everyone was busy, and everyone was dealing with a great battle with the Uighurs, knowing that once the Uighurs breached the city, they would be slaughtered uncontrollably.

The group of Hami soldiers guarding the huge crossbow passed by the weeping little boy, and without looking at him, they pushed the crossbow and continued on their way, while the princess and the brothers on the western wall were still waiting for their big one.

"Quick! Don't be aside, the Uighurs have come up! The centurion of Hami stood beside the little boy and commanded his men to push the ballista, and his eagle-sharp eyes never looked at the little boy who was crying. As soon as his men had passed the section, the centurion followed, oblivious to the little boy who was crying beside him.

This is war, and it is not so much the warmth and emotion staged in the movie, but the indifference to life and the numbness of death.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Dilinaza drew the sword at her waist and shouted as she pointed at the heavy infantry that was filling the moat. The moat is the first line of defense of the city, although with the current strength of the Uighur army, Dilinazar also knows that it is a matter of time before the moat is filled by the other side, but it is also necessary to take this opportunity to inflict more damage on the other side, at least to reduce the pressure on the city.

The Uighur heavy infantry, under the cover of chariots and shield men, approached the moat of Turpan, then removed the bags full of earth from their waists, threw them into the river, and splashed them in waves. The birth of each wave marked another step in the progress of the Uighur army, and the pressure on the Hami army was one more point greater.

The Uighur hoplites did not stop after throwing the bags, but turned and ran, leaving room for the next bag throwers, but the Hami archers at the head of the city did not want to let them go back so easily, and aimed at their bodies and fired arrows with vengeful anger in their hands.

Although the heavy infantry of the Uighur army wore heavy armor and was protected by chariot and shield soldiers, any defense in this world has blind spots, and the Uighur army's formation was no exception.

The Uighur heavy infantry was very excited, the Uighurs also had Genghis Khan's blood, and the Uighur men were also known for their bravery, and as a heavy infantryman, the minimum task was to throw the bag in his hand into the moat.

The Uighur hoplite was clearly a two-pole spirit, the first was not afraid of death, and the second was not afraid of death, and when he saw that he was close to his target, he screamed excitedly, took off the cloth bag from his waist, and threw it into the moat of Turpan with a flick of his right arm. The Uighur hoplite was thrilled to be accomplished, proving that he was a worthy warrior, and the next time was to try to cut off the heads of a few more Hami soldiers to add to his military achievements.

The Uighur hoplites turned and left, trying to make room for the bag-throwers behind him, and shouted as he turned: "Quick! Fill this river as soon as possible, so that we can rush to the head of the city to make meritorious contributions! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a "whoosh" sound of a sharp arrow of the Hami army, from back to front, shot through his calf, and there was no armor in the calf, and this sharp arrow was able to pass through the leg very happily.

"Ahh With a wolf howl, the Uighur heavy infantry slammed to the ground, and several soldiers behind him immediately ran over and dragged him to safety. Although this arrow did not kill him, it made him lose the ability to continue fighting, which can be said to solve the opponent's combat effectiveness. The Uighur heavy infantry was dragged to the rear to heal his wounds, moving further and further away from his dream of achieving great success.

"Quick! Hurry up and bring the crossbow up! In this short time, the previous centurion of the Hami army had already led the people to push the crossbow to the edge of the city wall, and now he was directing his men to carry the crossbow up the city wall.

Under the command of the commander, seven or eight Hami warriors carried crossbows and stepped on the stairs, and rushed to the city step by step. Ignoring the boulders and arrows flying overhead, they only thought about carrying their crossbows up so that they could inflict great damage on the Uighur army.

At this moment, a huge stone smashed into the steps in front of the Hami warrior who was carrying the crossbow under the projectile of the catapult, and there was a loud "thump". Although it didn't hit anyone, the large rock began to roll down the steps, grabbing the calf of one of the Hami soldiers, who immediately broke their bones and screamed in pain.

The centurion of the Hami army was very angry when he saw this, and he had only heard of a big stone in the middle of the road, but he had never heard of a big stone in the middle of the road, so he immediately ordered three Hami warriors to go up and remove the big stone, and then took the place of the wounded soldier himself, and shouted to him: "You yourself are here waiting for someone to save you!" Then, with his men, he continued to move the cart and crossbow towards the city.

No matter how deep the feelings are on weekdays, they have to give in in the face of a desperate situation. The centurion of the Hami army and his men carried the ballista up the city wall with great difficulty. Ignoring the arrows and stones falling from the sky, the centurion quickly swept around the city wall with his eyes, and when he saw that there was still a vacancy in a section of the female wall not far away, he immediately waved his hand and shouted to his subordinates: "Quick! Drive this guy out there! ”

As soon as the words fell, only a "whoosh" sound was heard, followed by the sound of sharp arrows entering the flesh, and a soldier beside the centurion was shot through the neck and died on the spot without making a sound.
