Trebuchets don't attack well. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He had a trebuchet, but his accuracy was very poor, either he smashed on the ground in front of the city wall, or he smashed on the edge of the city wall, and there were not many people who directly attacked the head of the city wall, and even fewer flew over the city wall.
The ability of nomads to siege and defend cities has always been devastating, and even if they have tools, they will not be able to use them well.
"Prepare for the siege!"
The great leader of the Turkic people, the Khan Ashina Gu Dulu, ordered, his people were white-skinned, blue-eyed, sunken-eyed, and tall, eye-catching.
His younger brother Ashinamo was just as good-looking as him, or even more handsome, and said in a deep voice beside him, "Are you really going to attack the city?" β
Not only him, but most of the leaders were also suspicious.
They were not confident in their own siege capabilities, and the number of captured Tang dogs was too small to play the role of "filling in the ravines" and consumables.
"Siege!"
Ashina's voice was unmistakable, and the Turkic cavalry brigade dispatched to rain arrows around the city.
"To! Torr! Torr! ...... "hit the shield, the arrows are like flying locusts, covering the sky and the sun, and the Turks control 100,000 strings, which is not a joke."
Compared to the accuracy of their trebuchets, the Turks' arrows reached the terrifying accuracy of nine out of ten, and they came up with a carpet-style attack. In a few moments, arrows filled the city.
Although they are all protected by shields, there are always people who are rough and leafy, and their bodies are exposed outside the shields, and as a result, they are hit by arrows, and they suddenly let out a miserable scream.
"Rush!"
The Turks were huge, and thousands of troops charged in unison, even the small Fengzhou seemed very small, like a lonely boat in the sea of people, fluttering and sinking.
They drove the few Tang people to fill the moat outside the city, and the Tang army in the city shot arrows indiscriminately and shot those Tang people.
Those who come to attack the city are the enemy, and the war will not have the slightest mercy, and if the Turks break through the moat, more Tang people will die.
Kill those Tang people who fill the ravines, let them die early and detach!
"Burst! Burst forth! Burst forth! β
The stone bullets and fire bombs of the Tang army exploded among the Turks, and the rubble flew to kill and injure the Turks, and the fire bombs burned the Turks who were directly hit into a humanoid torch, and the Turks could not escape.
Human/animal trebuchets are still used, and stronger counterweight trebuchets are not yet available, but they will be when Wei Bei's troops arrive.
Not only trebuchets, but also the defenders of Toyosu used high-powered ballistas, an arrow as thick as an arm, shot into the middle of the Turks, nailing the Turks to the ground!
The Turks scattered and gathered, constantly shooting arrows at the head of the city to suppress the Tang army.
In the telescope, I saw that the Turks dismounted one after another, picked up shields and scimitars, whether it was Tang Xiujing or Ling Huxiao, their faces were not good-looking.
The people on horseback, dismount and walk on their legs to attack the city, that is they are ready to fight to the death with us!
"Command all gates, guard to the death, desperately beat the enemy down, pay attention, our reinforcements are coming!" Tang Xiu was so old that he ordered underground, turned to Linghu and smiled: "Look at which side the enemy is strong, please ask General Linghu to defend which!" β
"Okay!"
The Turks are coming!
Arrows were released above and below the city, even if the Tang army at the head of the city was suppressed, but because of the close distance, the arrows from the wall were sparse, so a large number of arrows were thrown out of the city, and there was no accuracy, but it had a miraculous effect on the army that charged in clusters, and the Turks fell down with arrows one after another.
Sometimes the wind is strong, and the arrows thrown into the air are blown away and do not know where to go, and the lethality is impossible.
Bows, arrows, crossbows, stone bullets, and fire bullets are all preludes, even if the Turks use rushing carts to hit the city gates, it will have no effect. In the end, he returned to the often seen siege method: climbing the wall without brains. Of course, there is a more figurative term called "ant attachment".
Carrying the ladder, everyone climbed up in turn, looking down from the air, just like ants, and the image of the two words attached to the ant is incomparable.
Of course, the city will not let the big ants climb up, and when they are halfway up, the gray gold juice of the stone and wooden cannon bottles at the head of the city will rain down, and a large number of ants will be smashed down at once!
Climb again, smash again, accompanied by the catapult attacks and bows and arrows on both sides, the screams, bowstrings, and the sound of stone fire bombs surround the city of Fengzhou, and the noise is incomparable.
The faces of the noble chiefs such as Ashina Gu Dulu and Ashina Mosi, who were watching the battle from a distance, were stinky.
Without it, the Turks besieged the city poorly.
They didn't know how to cooperate, and when the firepower of the city head was maximized and the ants were all down, the Turks should immediately cover the city head with arrows and inflict maximum casualties on the Tang army, so as to cover the arrival of the army.
However, their movements were always a beat slower, either they shot early or too late, and the Tang army calmly dodged and hit them.
Even the chieftains saw a Turk who had managed to climb from the top of the city, and just straightened up, and shot him down from the city with an arrow.
Arrows from his back!
They climbed the ladder much slower than they could get on the horse, and they climbed slowly, huddled together under the city, and as a result, they threw down any mess on the wall.
The Turks screamed, burned to the ground, smashed their heads and bled out!
The three-edged arrows of the Tang army fell on them, and they were killed on the spot, and they were lightly bled out, and the blood flowed endlessly, and their medical ability was extremely poor, even if they were carried back, they had to suffer ----- fine tradition of the Tang army: the arrows were stained with dung!
Since the beginning of the Wei Xi system, it has spread throughout the army, as long as possible, the arrows before the attack are stained with feces, and it is good to wipe the dirt if not.
To inflict such damage on the enemy, and the wounded of the Tang Army must have alcohol (distilled liquor is not a joke, but alcohol is relatively rare, after all, it is more expensive, and it is used for the treatment of wounds of senior military attachΓ©s), tea, saline, etc. to rinse wounds.
The Turks suffered heavy casualties, although they were not their own people, but most of them were recruited Xi people, Hui Yi people, Khitan people, etc., but they were all their own people!
Ashinamo couldn't help but say: "Khan, let's not attack the city, how many people will have to die, we can fight the Tang army reinforcements." β
"Smack!" A whip was whipped on him, and Ashina said angrily: "Compared to sending reinforcements, I would rather attack the city!" β
"The Tang Army's reinforcements this time are Wei Zhiqi, and behind him is Wei Xi, the first general of the Tang Dynasty, we can't even beat Xue Gong (Rengui), and we still want to fight Wei Xi!"
"But if you don't fight, you can't do it, then take down the city, severely demoralize the Tang army, and let them know that even if their god of war comes, they can't save them!"
The words of scolding made the chiefs speechless, and no one dared to laugh at Ashina's cowardice, because they were not much better!
If it's a cow fork, yes, please go to beat Lao Wei first, and then beat Xiao Wei!
The siege was still ongoing, and the Turks piled up their lives under the city of Fengzhou regardless of life or death, and finally gained it.
First besieged on all sides, and then the east and west marched, the east had Tang general Tang Xiujing to defend to the death, and the west gradually became unbearable, a brave general first landed in the city, he shouted "rush" to greet his subordinates to rush up.
Ling Huxiao, who arrived, picked it up with his foot, and a short spear on the ground bounced up, landed on his hand, and threw it hard!
A spear flash like black light flashed.
The general's mouth could no longer be closed, and he actually shot a short spear into his mouth, and the other end of the spear tip protruded from the back of his head.
A wonderful blow, and suddenly the Tang army in the city cheered like thunder!
