Chapter 35: Please enter the urn
"Raise your shield! Raise your shield! "The small leader of the Turkic formation, noticing that the situation was not good, hurried forward with his infantry and raised his shield to cover the unsuspecting archers.
But with the skinned round shield in their hands, how could they stop the powerful heavy crossbow.
Although the Tang Army's heavy crossbow was not as boasted in some encyclopedias in later generations, it could still penetrate the armor at a distance of three or four hundred meters, but its lethality within 100 meters was still guaranteed.
The three-edged arrowhead cast in fine iron, with the powerful and heavy force, can easily penetrate the skin shield of the Turks, and shoot the target behind.
Of course, the Turks will not sit idly by, be a target in the same place, and wait for the wall of fire to extinguish itself. Five or six Turkic warriors in scaly armor rushed out of the formation and rushed towards the wall of fire, and when they were two or three meters away from the wall of fire, they slashed the burning shield with a wave of their scimitars.
"Crossbowmen gather fire and shoot them!" The crossbowmen easily understood who they were referring to, turning their target to the Flame-Gathering Turkic warriors.
Facts have proved that in the face of the heavy crossbow, even the strong who cultivated the battle qi had to retreat.
However, before retreating, these Turkic warriors had already opened five offensive routes.
"Captain Cheng, Deputy Lieutenant Yang, and Team Lu, the three of you will specialize in destroying the long ladder of the Turks in a while." The Turks have put on a posture of general attack, and Pan Xiaogu is no longer hiding, and intends to send all the people from Zhichong Mansion
"Order!" Cheng Yun and the three of them accepted the order without hesitation.
"The other government soldiers are responsible for blocking the Turkic warriors, and they can't be allowed to enter the city!" Although the government soldiers can't send out battle rays to kill the enemy, they can block the enemy's swords, plus with the bonus of the city wall, it is still possible to condescendingly prevent the Turkic warriors from rushing to the city.
Pan Xiaogu's biggest worry is to let the enemy's strong men rush to the city to open Wushuang, in that case, no matter how high the morale of the militia in Panjiabao is, it will be useless!
"Pan Song, you take the new army to the square behind the gate to assemble, the melee soldiers are in front, the crossbowmen are in the back, and enter the position according to the previous arrangement!"
"Order!" A burly young man shouted his orders.
The young man's name is Pan Song, and he is a "clan brother" of Pan Xiaogu, because he has the most outstanding performance in the training of the new army, and his prestige is second only to a few instructors, so Pan Xiaogu appointed him as the temporary commander of the new army, and completely grasped the command of the new army.
The Turks were not tentatively attacking this time, and the battle at the head of the city must have been fierce, and the pressure of relying on the militia alone to defend itself would be very great. But at this time, Pan Xiaogu sent the new army with the highest combat effectiveness behind the relatively safe city gate, was his brain broken?
No.
Pan Xiaogu arranged it this way because the city gate would become the place where the battle was fiercest, and he planned to let the Turks "break the city"!
The purpose of the battle of Panjiabao was to drag the Turks under the city, and in order to achieve this goal, the Turks must see a glimmer of hope!
This hope is that the gates of the city will be breached!
When Pan Xiaogu put forward this idea, all the people in Zhichong Mansion did not agree with it at first, thinking that it was too risky.
Pan Xiaogu persuaded them with two reasons, one reason is the unique structure of Panjiabao, the wall of Panjiabao is very long, and it is easy to disperse the troops to defend it, but after letting go of the city gate, the Turks will unconsciously concentrate on the city gate, so it is easier to defend, but the casualties will be very large.
The second reason is the reinforcements, Pan Xiaogu revealed some news of reinforcements to the people of Zhichong Mansion, Cheng Yun and others had already guessed, after hearing Pan Xiaogu's personal admission, on the one hand, they were surprised by the depth of Pan Xiaogu's city, and on the other hand, they were curious about the hidden strength of the Pan family, so they agreed to Pan Xiaogu's plan and willingly handed over the command.
However, Panjiabao is just a dock fort, there is no urn city in the city gate, once the enemy rushes in and does not block it, it will become a fake show, and a fake broken city will become a real broken city, especially since there are many warriors who have the ability to open a peerless among the enemy.
If you don't have it, we will build it! Don't forget that the people under Pan Xiaogu all have the characteristics of infrastructure madness, and we are the best at what to build!
In the shocked eyes of those people in Zhichong Mansion, it only took half a day for the infrastructure madmen to build three walls on the inside of the city gate, the first two are only half-human high breastwalls, and the last one is a real city wall that is more than one person high, and the kind that can stand with a female wall on the top!
Although the total length of the wall is not long, the speed of construction... These people in Zhichong Mansion finally know why Panjiabao seems to have appeared overnight.
The preparation is ready, and all that remains is to invite you into the urn.
"The timid Han people are chopping ladders again!" The Turkic warriors who were supervising the battle suddenly found that Ruda had begun to secretly dismantle the ladder again, and this time he was not alone, not alone!
At that moment, the Turks remembered the helplessness of being once cut off all the ladders by Ruda, and the humiliation of being teased by all kinds of feints!
"Despicable Han Chinese!" A Turkic warrior couldn't hold back, jumped into the air suddenly, swung his knife to block the sword, and after falling on the ladder, he borrowed his strength again, and his body suddenly jumped up again, rushing to the top of the city!
However, before he could show his might, Ruda, who had already been waiting on the side, cooperated with another soldier who had just rushed over to launch a fierce attack on him.
The Turkic warriors were invincible with two fists and four hands, and they were stabbed several times, but fortunately, they were protected by scale armor and were not seriously injured for the time being, but he couldn't stay in the city, so he could only flee back to the city very aggrievedly, and the ladder he protected was also cut off by Luda!
However, the actions of this Turkic warrior inspired others, and those Turkic warriors who were originally supervising the battle in the formation stepped forward to cover the soldiers to enter the city, protect the ladder from being cut off, and when they had the opportunity, they would rush to the head of the city by themselves, and the defense of the city became tense all of a sudden!
"Crossbowmen, cover the city, whoever jumps up will shoot me!"
The number of Turkic warriors was more than that of Zhichongfu, and Luda and they soon showed signs of being too busy, and Pan Xiaogu hurriedly called for the help of the crossbowmen.
"Ruda! Attack the ladder with all your might! Leave it to others to deal with what rushes up! ”
Only by destroying most of the ladders could the Turks focus their attack on the side of the city gate.
The battle on the city wall is fierce, and the city gate is not far behind, even if you want to "break the city", you have to act more realistically.
Dozens of Turkic soldiers operated the rushing car, slamming the gate one after another, making a loud bang, and around the rushing car, hundreds of Turks held shields and bows and arrows to cover the door.
The gate of Panjiabao was made of three or four inches thick single oak planks, which were hard and heavy, and the inside might have been filled with earth and rock. Even Tutuguer, who was in charge of leading the attack on the city gates, did not report much hope.
But sometimes "fate" is so funny, and Tutugu was wandering around the progress elsewhere when he suddenly heard the cheers of his men.
"Bang open, bang open, door latch breaks!"
The Han people even forgot to block the city gate?!
Tutuwu'er's eyes lit up with excitement and she yelled
"Get out of the way!"
Tutu Wu'er waved the mace in his hand, summoned all the battle qi on his body, condensed into a three-zhang long battle light, and slashed towards the city gate with all his might!
Rumble!
The gates are broken!
