When the sky was twilight the next day, there was already a trumpet outside the city of Liangzhou, and countless Tuyuhun soldiers resisted the ladder that had been lengthened, holding a wooden shield covered with several layers of cowhide in their hands, and rushed towards the fortified city in front.

"Steady, all steady. The bed crossbow is ready, the archers are ready. On the eastern wall of Liangzhou City, Duan Zhan's eyes were fixed on the Tuyuhun soldiers who rushed towards him.

With a short and comical battle yesterday, the tension of the first battle has faded, replaced by the wildness of being a disciple of the general.

The guys who were playing together at the beginning, Yu Chi Baolin is now running to the Western Regions to be a horse thief, and it is said that the rumors of the mix are now speaking, and more than 15,000 people under his command listen to his orders; Li Zhen is in the South China Sea, and I heard that there are many subordinates, and there are probably more than 10,000 people, but those seem to be called pirates.

As for the others, they also have their own plans, and as a disciple of the general, it seems that he is the only one who has been shrinking in Chang'an City, hiding under his father's wings.

So on this expedition, he took the initiative to ask for orders to fight the vanguard, in order to prove himself, to prove that he can also stand alone, and to prove that he is no worse than other generals.

Just as Duan Zan was thinking wildly, the guard sent by the old man next to him reminded: "Little general, the distance is almost over." ”

"Are the bed crossbows ready?" Duan Zan came back to his senses under the reminder of the guard, looked at a row of dozens of bed crossbows not far away, and asked in a deep voice.

"Ready." In charge of the bed crossbow is the Zuo Rao guard soldiers brought by Duan Zhan, and the perennial training allows them to master some tactical sign language on the battlefield, and at the same time, they can also skillfully operate the current ordnance of the Tang Dynasty.

Duan Zan waved his hand violently and shouted: "Release!" ”

At the same time, the same cheers rang out from the rest of the north and south walls.

"Bang" The giant hammer was struck, and the wooden pole with a length of five feet and the thickness of the wrist with the sound of the whistling wind rushed towards the Tuyuhun soldiers who were rushing forward under the city.

"Oh no!" A black light flashed in front of him, and the Tuyuhun soldiers, who were only wearing simple leather armor or leather jackets, were instantly pierced, and the whole person was also carried backwards and flew up.

The crossbow arrows shot from the bed crossbow, oh no, it should be called a crossbow gun, the crossbow gun with the thickness of the bowl mouth can even be shot into the ordinary city wall, and the fragile ** of human flesh cannot stop its powerful momentum, even if the armor worn on the body is thick and heavy, that huge impact is not something that people can bear.

The Tuyuhun soldiers carrying the siege ladder were standing on a line because of the ladder, and they didn't even have the rest to dodge in the face of the huge crossbow guns that flew straight in, and they were instantly pierced together, screaming and falling, and the thick piercing wound at the mouth of the bowl made them lose all the value of rescue, and they couldn't do anything except wait for death.

"Rush, rush, as long as they can rush to the city, their crossbow guns will be useful, hurry! Fast! "Some guys who had experience fighting with the Sui army at the end of the Sui Dynasty knew what the shortcomings of the bed crossbows on the city were, and they rushed forward while commanding the soldiers around them.

But most of the Tuyuhun soldiers had never seen such a powerful weapon, and they were frightened, and some of them had begun to slow down, and gradually had the intention of turning around and fleeing.

In just seven or eight breaths, a loud shout rang out from the top of the city again, and the huge crossbow spear that led the people to fear came again.

Crazy, everyone is crazy, and those commanders such as Famous Kings and Baihu who have had experience in fighting with the Sui army are also starting to be a little confused.

When will a bed crossbow be able to fire at this rate? This is no different from a normal strong crossbow, right? How many crossbows did the Tang army on the opposite side arrange on the city? Are there hundreds, if not thousands?

These Tuyuhun generals didn't know that the bed crossbows they were facing were actually modified bed crossbows.

The previously heavy towing device was replaced by a pulley block, and the base of the bed crossbow was modified into a chuck and hinge structure, so that the bed crossbow could no longer only shoot in one direction.

The lightweight pulley block makes it easy to hang the strings and can be done by one person, so that the modified bed crossbow can be operated by only two people at extremely high speeds.

From 500 to 300 paces, Tuyuhun's soldiers almost stepped on the corpses of their own men, and within 300 paces, they had to continue to face the crossbows that slanted down from the city.

The entire battlefield is full of Tuyuhun people's screams, cries for help and beast-like roars, the battle has reached this level is no longer Tuyuhun can withdraw if he wants to, now if they retreat, those who just died will be equivalent to a vain death, and the next time they attack, they need to fill in these people again before they can.

Therefore, Fu Shun, who commanded the battle, had to order his troops to continue the attack, although his heart was wrenching, and the momentum seemed to want to scare the opponent into collapse with his own death.

"One hundred and fifty paces, archers ready." Seeing that Tuyuhun's army had rushed to a distance of more than 100 steps below the city, Duan Zan at the head of the city immediately ordered loudly.

"Ready, all ready, all hiding behind the stacks of arrows, no one shows their heads without an order, do you hear?"

This command was communicated among all the soldiers, the captain informed the chief, the captain informed the fire chief, and the fire commander informed his soldiers, and soon the plan of response was already communicated.

At this time, the Tuyuhun army had also rushed to a distance of nearly a hundred steps under the city.

"Shoot the arrows!" A loud shout rang out from the top of the city, and a rain of arrows shot out from the city at the same time, raining down like drops downward.

"Rush, rush, there are not many people on the city wall, rush over and we will win!" There were all kinds of commands in the Tuyuhun army, but the general meaning was to move forward, lean under the city, and put the ladder in his hand on the head of the city.

At this time, the battle had entered a white heat, and the bows and arrows in the hands of the Tuyuhun soldiers could already shoot on the head of the city, which made the defenders on the head of the city begin to appear injured.

"It's all hidden, do you hear it, wait for them to come up and fight with them, don't show your face now." Duan Zan was not a fool, when Tuyuhun's army rushed within a hundred steps, he had already hid behind the arrow stack, and at the same time commanded his army loudly.

The "click" was accompanied by the sound of wood colliding with wood, and everyone understood that the ladder of the Tuyuhun people had been set up on the city.

With a "swish" sound of the horizontal knife unsheathed, Duan Zan roared with a hideous face: "Change weapons, pikemen prepare, don't let them come up." ”

Tuyuhun people are about to come up, the time has come to fight hard, whether it is dead or alive depends on the present day, I hope the old man's speed can be faster, but don't wait for yourself to hang him up! Duan Zan thought so!
