When crossing the Chu River, it was intercepted by the cavalry of the Tang Army until the catapults caught up, and the Great Food Army lost more than 10,000 people before they could cross the river. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Broken Leaf City in front of the Great Food Army is by no means a small city that the Hu people have piled up indiscriminately, but a male city!

The city wall has two layers, the outer layer is 12 meters high and the inner layer is 15 meters high.

Standing on the edge of the Yehe River, it is extremely strong, as impregnable as a copper wall.

The hundred-pound stone bullet hit it hard, and there was not a single crack in it!

Since Wei Xi subdued the Turgish, he spared no effort to expand their Shattered Leaf City, which became an important support point for his attack on the west.

The walls were thickened, supplies were stockpiled, food was prepared for three years, and wells and reservoirs were dug to prepare water.

There is a garrison cave in the city. . . is the hole in the wall with his back to the outside of the city, Wei Xi uses habitual fire bombs to attack the city, of course, he also prevents the enemy from using such a hand, but he is not afraid to use this hand, after all, he has asbestos fireproof clothing equipment!

The work was done to the fullest, which made the big food army gasp!

They also want to go around the city, but the geographical location of this city is too good, radiating the river basin, connecting the east and west traffic, and not laying it down, making people feel restless, just afraid that they will send troops to the city, and the inside and outside should be combined, or it is safe to take it!

If you don't have anything to say, then let's fight!

The Great Food Army was all over the mountains, the flags were hugging the sun, the sound of hooves rumbled, and the footsteps of the soldiers were mixed together, and even on the top of the city, I felt trembling.

Enough people!

Cheng Boxi, who was sitting in Broken Leaf City, looked at the enemy army outside the city, and shouted to his subordinates: "Our army will definitely be able to break the enemy here and achieve a supreme reputation!" ”

The soldiers shouted: "Victory!" Win! Win! ”

They fell into the frenzy of leaving a name in history, and the Great Food Army outside the city was also a religious fanaticism that permeated the whole army... Conquer these infidels! Conquer the East!

Both sides are ambitious and try to get hung up on each other, but in the end, both sides have the same attitude ... I was numb, and when I called, I tasted all the sorrows, but I said that the weather was cold and I was a bird!

……

The siege pattern is the same in both the outside and the outside, and the first thing is to build a long wall (earthen ramparts) to limit the opponent's range of movement.

The Great Food Army traveled hundreds of miles away to expel the Tang army reinforcements.

The Tang troops in the city could only watch the Tang cavalry disappear on the horizon in the distance, and they could only rely on themselves.

Who told them that their strategy was to use the fortified city to consume the strength of the Great Food Army, and then find an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Great Food Army.

The Great Food Army set up 300 heavy counterweight catapults outside the city, with rocker arms as short as 10 meters and as long as 15 meters!

It is also a positive empire, the national strength of the big food army should not be underestimated, the country has the power to fall into the sea, and a million army mixed with hundreds of catapults is a small CASE.

First, the stone bullet attack, three hundred catapults threw the stone bullet violently, smashing the walls of Broken Leaf City with a thumping sound, and he couldn't help but tremble.

After attacking for half an hour, it seemed that the city wall had not changed much, at most there were some cracks, and no wall had collapsed.

The walls of the Tang people are strong enough! The Great Food Army is not discouraged, and will attack with oil bombs again!

They had a lot of oil there, poured up to the surface, collected and used it directly, put it in wooden pots and clay pots, and constantly launched it, dragging a long tail of black smoke over the head of the Great Food Army, smashing it on the city wall, exploding, and the continuous explosions sounded into a piece, and the billowing smoke rushed into the air, enveloping the majestic city in shadows.

Ordinary people's eyesight is not good, but the caliph and other high-ranking officials can see it clearly: there are no people on the city walls, let alone those humanoid torches.

"The loss of the Tang people is not big!" When the caliph finished looking at it, he handed the telescope to his attendant.

That's right, the Great Food Army also used binoculars, after all, there are smart people in the army, and they have crystals and glass.

So the slaves of the caliph polished the lenses for him day and night, using glass to grind all (the glass lenses of the Tang people are special glass obtained after testing), and using expensive crystals to grind out a box to succeed in three parts, and the process is not successful, it is relatively blurry, and it is not as good as the telescopes equipped by even ordinary staff officers of the Tang Army, which is already commendable.

……

"Continuous Attack!" Kalkin conveyed the will of the caliph.

So the catapult kept attacking, constantly attacking Shattered Leaf City, for a whole day and a night.

The whole city was in dire straits, and flames erupted everywhere, blackening the walls.

Under the prolonged impact, some places collapsed, and cracks appeared in many places.

As a result, the Great Food Army lost 100 catapults and had to be repaired.

Then they saw a scene that surprised them, the Tang army dropped the workers from the hanging baskets on the city wall, and they used cement to repair the city wall!

It can be seen that they are clothed, unarmoured, and skillfully inject stones into the cracks and smooth them with cement.

When the cement is dry, the place will recover, and it will not continue to collapse, and the key is that the catapult is unlikely to hit the same place twice in a row.

Naturally, the Great Food Army could not allow such a thing to happen, and mobilized some catapults to smash at the workers.

"Hit, hit them!" The Great Eater Officer shouted, and the craftsmen and soldiers operated the equipment.

But the control of catapults is far less accurate than that of cannons, even if they are cannons, there are shells from the same cannon on the battlefield that do not fall in the same crater, and besides, catapults, often hit the side, and it is possible to hit with one stone, and the big cannibal once counted one of the hanging baskets, and found that he attacked them twenty-five times, and none of them hit!

The two Datang workers in the hanging basket were busy, and they didn't even notice the stone bullets that burst out from time to time around them and the fire oil bombs that exploded and splashed.

Witnessed by many people at the same time, Khorasan Governor Nasser, because of his geographical advantages, his research on the Tang Dynasty gave him the reputation of Zhitang, he muttered: "The powerful productivity and hard-working Datang workers help the army to attack cities and seize land all over the world, and the role is greater than that of the army!" ”

Without the opening of the road of Datang workers, their construction, and their production, how could Datang be strong today!

This is the lucky one, and some workers hit the catapult with a bullet and make it into a meatloaf!

Pasted on the wall, blood dripping down, the Tang soldiers were silent, and their eyes were full of bitter hatred for the enemy.

The hanging basket that seemed to be like a god returned to the city, and the general Cheng Boxi personally greeted and thanked him: "Master Liu, Master Xu, thank you!" ”

The two masters said humbly: "Everyone has to contribute!" ”

The real Datang construction master, in fact, there are engineers in the city, but ordinary workers take risks without using them, first, their skills are higher and they can complete the work faster; Second, the engineer can act as a reserve to kill the enemy.

In the current situation, every soldier is precious, and the transportation inside and outside the city is cut off, so you can only rely on every ounce of strength.

……

The attack of the Great Food Army was urgent, they must not allow the city walls to be destroyed here and repaired there, in vain, and the catapults were constantly damaged, and the speed of repair could not keep up with the speed of use.

In military terms, "the offensive posture of the army is weakened" is by no means a good thing.

Therefore, the Great Food Army went out to attack the city!
