Except for this one water source, the rest of the water sources are dozens of miles away, and if anyone wants to attack Qingxiang City, then they may have to weigh it.

There were two small groups of horse thieves who could not hold on, and they chose to retreat, these horse thieves were not stupid, because they knew that with their strength, even if they broke this earthen wall, they would not be able to loot much, and maybe they would be hacked by other horse thieves.

There were three larger bands of horse thieves remaining, each numbering about three or four hundred. Everyone has about the same strength, and in the case of equal strength, black will not appear in the black, since it can't be black, then cooperate!

The cooperation between the horse thieves is definitely not the kind of intimate cooperation, the three horse thieves simply reached an agreement, each of the three families chooses a section of the earthen wall, and then attacks together, and whoever grabs the property and population is who's house.

When the sun was about to set, the weather quickly cooled down, and the three horse thieves outside the city began to move, and more than a thousand horse thieves charged in three groups of horses.

With a bow in their hands, the thieves slapped their horses under their crotches with their legs and shouted "oh oh oh" from their mouths.

The formation of more than 1,000 war horses was very terrifying, the sound of "clicking" horses' hooves was deafening, and the people on the earthen wall could clearly feel the strong vibration from the ground.

The Han people standing on the earthen wall were all pale, sweating like rain, and their hands and feet were trembling.

Fortunately, Chen Cang divided a few crippled veterans everywhere very early, they are experienced in a hundred battles, this cavalry siege is simply a pediatric, they keep comforting others, I can't imagine that those crippled veterans have such a huge effect:

"Don't be afraid, the horse thief can't rush up."

"These horse thieves are a piece of cake, what are you afraid of?"

As the horse thieves approached the earthen wall, the crippled veterans began to shout hoarsely:

"Raise your shield...... Raise your shield to defend against arrows......"

"If you don't want to die, raise your shield."

"Crossbowmen ready to ......"

The Han people, who understood it, raised their shields one after another and ran to the crossbowman's side. Two men raise their shields to protect a crossbowman, so that the crossbowman is well protected from being injured by the thrown arrows.

Yun Mo didn't command at all, and he was too good at commanding cold weapons to fight, so Yun Mo was wearing Mingguang armor and standing above the city gate with a modern crossbow, because the other sections of the city gate were taller, and everyone could see their leader when they turned their heads, which was very important for boosting morale and stabilizing the morale of the army.

The person who commanded the defense was not Yun Mo, but the elder Chen Cang beside him, Yun Mo knew the defensive battle of fart, he had seen it on TV, but can you believe those things on TV?

Let's let someone who knows how to defend and fight command the battle! Yun Mo stood on the city gate, so that everyone could see him at any time, if there was an enemy to attack the city gate section, then the modern crossbow in Yun Mo's hand was not vegetarian.

Although the horse thieves charge is terrifying, these horse thieves do not have any siege equipment, the earthen wall looks only two meters high, but the moat is two meters wide and two meters deep!

As long as the horse thief does not fill in the moat, the horse thief will not be able to jump over the earthen wall, if the horse thief chooses to dismount and attach ants to attack the city, people in the two-meter-deep moat, there is no place to borrow strength, how can any attached ants attack the city? It's almost the same to die.

These horse thieves still despise the winding and serpentine earthen wall in front of them, perhaps in their eyes, the crooked earthen wall in front of them is tofu dregs, and it is easy to step on the horses.

This little horse thief could not frighten the disabled veterans who had been in a hundred battles at all, and when the horse thieves rushed to a distance of two hundred meters from the earthen wall, the crippled veterans began to give orders to release arrows.

The "whoosh" crossbow arrows poured at the charging horse thieves, and the Shenwei crossbow with two pairs of pulleys was extremely powerful, and it could break through a layer of iron armor at two hundred meters, and most of the horse thieves were wearing leather armor, and they had no way in front of the Shenwei crossbow, but could only watch the crossbow arrows shoot through their bodies.

"Ahh The screams were drowned out by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and almost all the horse thieves who rushed ahead were shot off their horses, as did the strikers of the three horse thieves.

This casualty could not make the horse thieves retreat, and the remaining horse thieves all hid their bodies on the side of the war horses by virtue of their superb horsemanship.

But the crossbow arrows on the earthen wall did not stop, the first crossbow bolt just passed, and the second round of crossbow arrows arrived as scheduled, and the speed of the Shenwei crossbow with the arrow box was extremely fast.

After the "whoosh" rain of arrows, every group of horse thieves who rushed in front of them, more than a dozen war horses fell to the ground with a scream, and these horse thieves were very tenacious and continued to charge.

They had only been subjected to two rounds of arrows before they had reached a distance of one hundred and forty or fifty meters from the earthen wall, and the horse thieves had to charge at least seventy or eighty meters away from the earthen wall if they wanted to charge at the distance of their bows.

As a result, the third round of arrow rain came again, and more than a dozen horses were shot dead in each group of horse thieves. The three horse thief leaders who watched the battle from behind were not calm, these Han crossbow arrows were too fast, and the range was much farther than riding a bow, and the power was also great.

This battle can't be done, they are here to rob, not to fight, and if their strength is damaged, they may be eaten by other horse thieves.

In just three rounds of arrow rain, Tasi found that seventy or eighty of his men had fallen from their horses, and as long as the cavalry fell from their horses while charging, there was almost no hope of survival.

Tassie only had more than 300 elite horse thieves on hand, and at this moment he lost almost one-fifth of his men, Tassie's heart was dripping blood, this business could not be done, even if he took down here regardless of casualties, he was afraid that there would be no more people left.

Tassie hurriedly took out the horns of the ox and blew the horn of retreat with a "beep", and the other two horse thief leaders were not stupid, why should they make wedding clothes for others.

After three rounds of arrows, the charging horse thieves were shot and killed by more than fifty or sixty people.

For the charging horse thieves, they have begun to fear and feel uneasy, these Han people's bows and crossbows are so powerful that their own bows and crossbows can't reach people's homes at all, so they are shot on the way to the charge.

Just as the thieves were about to turn and run away, the horn of retreat sounded, and this was exactly what they wanted, and the three horse thieves turned their horses' heads in disregard, and then retreated like a tide.

Yun Mo could clearly see from the top of the city that the riding skills of these horse thieves were really good, and they changed from a state of charge to retreat, almost in one go, without any collision in between.

These horse thieves are born cavalry! If only I could take it for my own use. Yun Mo is best at the brainwashing of later generations, as long as these horse thieves can be subdued by himself, Yun Mo is confident that he will transform them all into "people's cavalry".

The three horse thieves who were guarding against each other did not trust each other in the first place, and once the offensive was frustrated, it was impossible to unite.

Tassie didn't want to fight, it was a day of loading, but he didn't want to retreat like this, he wanted to take the remains of those fallen brothers with him, which was the basis for him as a leader to gain the convincing of his subordinates.

Fighting on the battlefield will inevitably lead to casualties, and in such a hot place as the Western Regions, if the corpses are not collected, the corpses will soon stink, and if they don't do well, they will cause a plague.
