Chapter Twenty-Nine: Attack and Defense (I)
"How dare you deceive the great Gilekre!" The Turkic Khan angrily whipped Kuchiha with a leather whip
Kuchiha lay on the ground and rolled around, screaming and saying that he was not lying.
Finally, the Turkic Khan got tired and pointed in the direction of Panjiabao with his horsewhip
"Then you can tell me, why are the walls of the Tang people full of soldiers, didn't you say before that there are no soldiers here?"
Hearing this, Hu Chiha hurriedly got up from the ground, didn't bother to wipe the blood on his face, and carefully observed the situation in Panjiabao.
Hey, why does it feel like the Han town is bigger than before? Ku Chiha blinked in confusion and froze in place
"Khan, this minion of Kuchiha dares to deceive the great Khan, please allow the faithful Tutuul to kill him!" A Turkic general, with a scimitar in his hand, walked towards Kuchiha with a fierce look.
Kuchiha shuddered violently, and crawled away from this fierce god
"Khan, Khan I know what's going on, please don't kill me!"
The Turkic Khan raised his hand and stopped Tutugu's movements
"Tell me what's going on?"
Kuchiha pointed to Panjiabao not far away, and said loudly: "The Tang people are very cunning, don't let them deceive you." The people in the city who were waving banners were clearly farmers from the Tang people, and they weren't soldiers at all? ”
"Is there such a thing?" The Turkic Khan was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at the head of Panjiabao City, but his eyes were not very good, and he couldn't see clearly from too far away.
Fortunately, when the other Turkic nobles and generals heard Kuchiha's words, they looked at Panjiabao curiously, and several of them had good eyesight
"Really, I've seen the appearance of the Tang Army, and the people in the city are not the Tang Army!"
"The Tang people are so cunning, they always play these intrigues!"
"The hateful Tang people dare to deceive the great Turkic warriors!"
The Turkic Khan listened to the comments of his subordinates and knew that he was wrong to blame Kuchiha, but it was impossible for him to apologize
"Hmph, this ploy is the bluff of the Tang people, Ben Khan saw through it at the beginning, but in order to paralyze the Tang people in the city, Ben Khan resorted to a bitter trick, deliberately whipped Ku Chiha to show the Tang people, and then pretended to withdraw the troops, so that the Tang people in the city thought that they scared us. Let's let the warriors hurry up and prepare siege equipment to catch the Han people off guard. It can be seen that this Turkic khan has a certain understanding of Han culture
"The Khan's wisdom is beyond our reach."
"Haha, when we attack the city, the Tang people in the city will definitely be unprepared!"
The Turkic nobles touted it, which made the Turkic Khan quite complacent, and his mood changed a little better, and he turned his head to look at Kuchiha who was cowering in the corner
"Kuchiha, you have done a good job, and when the town of the Tang people is defeated, Ben Khan will release you and your people."
"Thank you for your kindness, great and wise Khan." Kuchiha prostrate at the feet of the Turkic Khan, kissing the other's riding boots, but his heart was not as respectful as it seemed
"Foolish Gilikre, go and fight with the Tang people, the glory of victory will surely belong to the true God! God is great! ”
A few hours later, the flowers waiting for Ruda on the head of the city were almost gone, and the Turks appeared outside Panjiabao "by surprise".
Although Gilikree is stupid and arrogant, he still fights in a very disciplined manner.
The Gilic Lie Department is a tribal alliance united by several small tribes, 3,000 Turkic soldiers, with their respective tribes as units, forming four phalanxes, the largest number is the Gili Kelie Headquarters, accounting for half of the total number as the Chinese army, and the other three phalanxes are surrounded by the two wings and front of the Chinese army.
The Turks advanced to a stop less than a mile from Panjiabao, and the Turks, except for the Chinese army, dismounted, took siege equipment, and relined in front of the Chinese army.
The Turks were divided into fifteen small phalanxes in pairs of hundreds, and these fifteen small phalanxes were divided into three clusters: left, center, and right.
The middle cluster had the smallest number of people, with only three small phalanxes, one of which pushed a siege vehicle with ramming wood, and the other two small phalanxes were guarded on either side of the engineering vehicle, each holding two two-meter-high shields, which were made of paper strips and had log supports behind them, which could stand on the ground and provide cover for the soldiers behind.
The left and right clusters faced the walls on both sides of the gate, which were also equipped with shields, and the rest of the people carried long ladders to climb the city.
Judging from the preparation of siege equipment alone, the Gillicre Department is still very level.
Of course, Panjiabao is not unprepared here, after the last siege of the city, Pan Xiaogu felt that there was a lack of heavy city defense equipment, and wanted to build a ballista or trebuchet or something like that, but unfortunately the reality is skinny, although Pan Xiaogu knows the principle of several heavy weapons, but the craftsmanship level of the people in the territory is not good, and many of them can't be made, you say Pan Xiaogu did it himself? Hehe...
In addition, he had to be busy with other things, so in the end he only made a kind of human-pulled stone thrower.
This thing needs five or six people to operate, and it can barely throw two or three catties of ammunition to a place more than a hundred meters away.
The stone-throwing device could not only shoot stones, but also fires red-hot charcoal wood, which was a perfect shield against the Turks.
There were twenty stone throwers placed on a slightly lower platform on the inner side of the city wall, and Pan Xiaogu ordered ten of them to stand still, and the other ten opened fire in unison after the Turks came into range!
Because of the need to deal with the Turks, the cannon stones fired red-hot charcoal, and under the walls of the fort, there were five large burning furnaces, which were constantly being produced.
These fiery red projectiles cut through beautiful arcs in the air, and smashed accurately in... in the open space.
It's originally a metaphysical weapon, so don't expect the first hit to be the first shot, but fortunately, the gunstone weapon has a good firing speed, and it is faster than the crossbow arrow after being proficient, so before the Turks could react, another round of meteor fire rain fell down.
Immediately after another round, and then another round, the probability of metaphysics, as long as the base is large, can always be encountered.
In the third round, an incendiary bomb smashed into the shield of the Turkic cluster. The red-hot charcoal was brittle, and the moment it hit the shield, it exploded into a spark, and the flying sparks fell on the surrounding Turks, burning them to their feet, trying to shake off the charcoal from their bodies.
A small flame also ignited where the shield was hit, but it quickly extinguished itself, probably because the shield was made of fresh shoots and had more moisture.
The Turkic shield stopped when it was about thirty meters away from the city wall, and because of the angle, the shield would not work if it continued to advance.
The small phalanx of the Turks, who were originally holding the shields, stood in place and hid behind the shields and began to throw a rain of arrows at the city.
The rest of the Turks charged with slogans!
