Chapter 161: City Broken?!
Genghis Khan's expedition to the west taught the Arabs and Europeans the use of gunpowder, and the Uighurs, the kingdom of Chagatai, a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, naturally engaged in these things.
The North Gate guard of the Hami Army instantly lost his previous arrogance, and he didn't care about saving face, so he grabbed a soldier with an anxious face and yelled at him: "Go and report to the princess, please ask her to support the North Gate quickly!" Just go! ”
Now that the Uighur army's intentions were obvious, the Hami soldier did not dare to slack off when he received the order from his commander, and immediately ran with all his strength to the west of the city, for he knew in his heart that if he ran slowly, the gates would be breached, and the whole city would die.
At this moment, the commander of the Uighur army in the north of the city, the deputy general who commanded the army this time, also showed a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth, these cannons are treasures, he took a lot of connections to get his hands on them, if there were no them, the general would not have given him the task of attacking the north gate. Seeing that the time was almost up, he couldn't take a moment to show a greedy fierce light in his eyes, pointing to the north gate of Turpan and shouting: "Fire at me!" Knock open the gates! ”
Several rows of Uighur cannons let out a roar of rage, and they also fired lead bullets, which did not cause an explosion, but such a heavy thing, smashed into the iron door at such a speed, maybe it would smash the door open at once, if not once, a few more times.
The Hami army on the head of the city suddenly felt a lot of pressure, especially the Hami army on the city gate was covered and couldn't raise their heads, hiding under the battlements and scolding their mothers, they had already suffered a loss of Ming army artillery before, but they didn't expect to eat the Uighur army's artillery for a short time, at this moment it is estimated that they can really feel the truth that science and technology are the first combat effectiveness.
After a few rows of artillery, the city wall was already full of holes, and at this moment, the gate of the city, which had been taken care of by the Uighur artillery, was smashed open, and a big hole appeared in the entire tight defense system of the Hami army.
However, at this moment, the Hami guards, who were in charge of guarding the north gate, not only did not be afraid, but had a hint of rejoicing, glad that Princess Dilinaza had the foresight to make them make sufficient preparations last night.
When the Uighurs saw the gates of Turpan open, they shouted loudly with joy, victory was at hand, and after entering the city, it was the day of harvest, the day of enjoyment, and the day of indulgence.
The Uighur commander at the north gate also smiled on his lips, and it seemed that he could not run away from this effort, so he raised his broadsword and shouted excitedly: "Warriors, rush! Whoever is the first to enter the city will be the first to win this battle! ”
The allure of the first merit is too great, and the rest of the credit does not add up to one first merit, because people will always only remember who is the champion, and as for the runner-up, it is meaningless.
The soldiers of the Uighur army shouted loudly, and they did not put on any formation, waving the weapons in their hands and rushing towards the city gate.
"Quick! Shoot the arrows! The commander of the Hami army at the head of the city shouted loudly. At this critical moment, the Hami soldiers at the head of the city were quite calm, and did not abandon the city in a panic, but took out their strong bows and crossbows and shot at the rushing Uighur army, and immediately shot at the enemy.
However, this did not help, the Uighur army was now completely crazy, and the ** of meritorious service and enjoyment filled their brains, and this casualty had no effect on them at all, and they ignored the fallen teammates around them, and excitedly and frantically poured into the northern gate of Turpan.
"Kill! Kill all the men in the city and rob all their women! One of the Uighur commanders personally led the charge, his eyes flashing with the flames of greed, and his face was excited and excited, and he shouted loudly.
Under normal circumstances, once the city gate falls, it means the fall of the entire city, every Uighur army thinks so, feeling that they are in control, they almost rush in to enjoy it, the greedy ** overwhelms their brains, they don't notice at all, in the entire north gate of the city gate, there is not a single Hami soldier stationed.
The Uighur army led his men to rush to the front, and he was glad that he had won the first credit in entering the city, and he was thinking about how many women he would sleep with tonight, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and his whole body was trapped.
Below is a deep ditch, in the form of a semicircle, which encircles the entire inner side of the city gate, and is carefully disguised by the Hami army, so that it is indistinguishable from the ordinary ground at first glance. The Uighur soldiers were defenseless, and those who rushed to the front fell one after another, and swords and other sharp weapons were inserted underneath, and those who fell were dressed as sugar gourds, and they were either killed or wounded. The Qianhu who rushed to the front had already died, and was stabbed in the throat by a broken spear, and his face was full of disbelief and unwillingness, and he died there straight.
"Stop! There are traps ahead! Seeing that the Uighur soldiers at the front had fallen into the ditch and were killed, the Uighur soldiers in the row behind them braked and hurried to warn their companions behind them.
However, the Uighurs behind did not know the situation in front of them, but they were still preoccupied with rushing into the city to make meritorious contributions, and they crowded forward, and squeezed their companions who had just stopped the car into the ditch.
Seeing the screams and yelling from the companions in front from time to time, the Uighurs in the back finally came to their senses, and a captain of 10,000 men squeezed to the front and yelled in a frenzy: "Fuck, what's the matter? Why did you stop Lao Tzu? ”
One of the Uighur commanders, who was almost squeezed into a ditch, said to the commander in shock: "Captain Qi, the Hami army has dug a big ditch behind the city gate as a trap, and many of our brothers have fallen into it. ”
When the commander of the Uighur army heard this, he was furious, and finally broke through the city gate, and he was just one foot away from establishing an immortal feat, how could the road be blocked by a small ditch, and when the adult army marched to battle, did he see less ditches? He said angrily: "We have worked hard to break through the city gates, should we give up just because of this small ditch?" Today, no matter what, I have to go over to Lao Tzu, even if I use people to fill it, I have to fill the ditch for Lao Tzu! ”
The strict discipline not only maintained the discipline of the army, but also lifted people's spirits, and the Uighur soldiers were ignited as soon as they heard the commander say this, and they broke open the gates of the city, and threw the ladder behind them for the convenience of the charge, and at this time they could only enter the city by filling in the trench.
