The 706th earth-shattering thunder is powerful again
The siege of Landu City was more difficult than expected, even if the defenders had multiple advantages, but the Turkic army still rushed forward without fear of death under the strict orders of Xue Jian Khan.
In these two days and two nights, the Turkic army did not stop attacking the city, and the Zhao army did not relax in the slightest. This fierce battle made Zhao Xun feel like he had returned to the Youbei Mansions to fight with the Ya people, and the sound of killing echoed in his ears, and his eyes were full of blood and fire. That's how he was killed when he first rose.
On the grassland, the blue sky seems to have turned red, and the red is so demonic. Looking at the Turkic soldiers under the city who were like ants and surging in like a tide, Zhao Xun always felt very unreal and a little erratic.
The spear in his hand was instantly lit, stabbing a Turkic general who rushed to the head of the city to death, and then slashed the corpse off the city with one shot. All the movements were smooth without the slightest hesitation.
The uninterrupted onslaught for two days and two nights made the corpses all over the field under the Blue Capital City, with rivers of blood flowing and bloody breath soaring into the sky. The walls of the Blue Capital City have turned red. In the sunlight, it can refract a dark red light.
Zhao Xun carried a spear and indifferently observed the surrounding situation above the gatehouse.
In the two days and two nights of fighting, the defenders of the city lost more than 20,000 losses, most of which were still young and strong in the city. The Turkic army, on the other hand, paid at least 50,000 casualties, or even more. These Turkic armies are still not good at attacking fortifications, compared to the Han people's powerful and orderly command, hidden killing opportunities in peace, the commander of Xue Jian Khan outside the city, is obviously much lower. It cannot be denied that they are indeed strong and not afraid of death at this moment.
Zhao Xun believed that if it weren't for the heavy armor soldiers appearing above the city, the defenders' casualties would have been even greater.
"Lord, is it possible to fight back? If it goes on like this, the soldiers in the city are a little unbearable! The Turkic army can be rotated, but we can't just rotate it now. If this continues, the situation will not be good. ”
Nangong Hao walked over wearing a somewhat cracked armor and said, all the top of his armor turned red, and in the gaps in the armor, there was still some minced meat.
Now, not only these generals, but also Zhang Yuanjing and other civilian officials, are also wearing armor and climbing the city tower to observe the situation of the enemy army and respond at any time.
Zhao Xun looked up at the sky and shook his head, "Wait, it's not time yet...... If you want to fight back, you have to fight it out. The time has not yet come, and we must continue to be patient...... At the very least, we'll wait until the sun goes down before we start fighting back. Break the enemy army under the city first, and attack the large camp outside the city at night. After many hard battles, even the Turkic army must be exhausted, and it is the best time for our army to counterattack. ”
"Nangong Hao, let the Shenji Battalion be ready to fight at any time! Let them carry out the Heaven-Shattering Thunder. ”
Nangong Hao immediately responded to the order and rushed along the city wall several zhang wide.
The remnant sun is like blood, the head of the city is in the blood, and it reveals a cold and fierce atmosphere, hunting in the wind, and the flame qilin on the flame unicorn flag is more heroic in the setting moon......
And at this moment, the Turkic army under the city has not decreased at all, and they are like canned sardines, full of people and heads everywhere. Even if the crossbowmen of the defenders at the head of the city rained down the bows and arrows, it still did not reduce the density of some of the Turkic armies. In order to speed up the siege, the Turkic army increased the siege efforts. Especially yesterday, Xue Jian Khan recruited tens of thousands of slaves from several tribes in the rear and asked them to help break the city.
So, this makes it more difficult to defend the city. No matter how fast they kill, they are not as fast as the Turkic army. At this time, there were already countless Turkic troops climbing up the hundreds of ladders. This also made Zhao Jun's fortification of the city consume very quickly.
Time passed, the battle continued, screams continued, wails continued, and sound shook the wild......
"Lord, the Turkic army is gathering under the city, and the sky is gradually darkening, it's time to fight back, use the sky-shaking thunder!" Zhang Yuanjing, who was behind Zhao Xun, said loudly.
Zhao Xun looked at the sky, and then at the tide-like Turkic army under the city, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's start fighting back!" Remember, don't throw too many at once, let each of these earth-shattering thunders emit the most effective effect. ”
The earth-shattering thunder explosion has an effective range, and Zhao Xun naturally doesn't want the Shenji Battalion to waste it in order to achieve the best results. These earth-shattering thunders are not much in reserve. If you can't give Xue Jian Khan a great loss, wouldn't it be too much of a loss.
"Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely explain it one by one!" Zhang Yuanjing nodded and hurriedly gave the order.
After the Shenji battalion received the military order, it was almost crazy with excitement. In the face of such a dense crowd under the city, they didn't need to use equipment to throw at all, they only needed to throw their hands directly into the city after ignition.
"Ready, ignite, throw!" As soon as the officer of the Shenji Battalion gave the order, the sergeants of the Shenji Battalion immediately took action. At this moment, on the entire city wall, at every distance, there are several soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion wearing red armor who are busy.
A moment later, above the head of the city, every few tens of meters, a soldier of the Divine Machine Battalion threw the ignited earth-shattering thunder towards the city. Sparkling thunder roared and smashed into the dense Turkic army below the city.
"What is this?" Outside the city, many Turkic soldiers saw a black figure with sparks falling from the top of the city and falling into the crowd. Because it was already dark, it was very conspicuous. However, because of the large number of Turkic soldiers outside the city, it was impossible to take it out in time, and it was impossible to understand what it was.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a loud noise like thunder came out of the city continuously, accompanied by firelight. Whether it was the defenders on the city walls or the Turkic army a few miles outside the city, they all suddenly felt a buzzing in their ears, and the earth trembled slightly. Especially the defenders on the city wall, although they received an early warning from the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, these three soldiers and the people of the Landu tribe were all pale and trembling in an instant. This kind of weapon is beyond their imagination. In their eyes, this is completely the manipulation of the divine thunder to ward off the enemy army.
Whether it was the main formation of the Turkic army or the defenders on the city walls, it was not as miserable as the Turkic army outside the city. On and off the city, both sides clearly saw that in the dense siege soldiers' pawns, countless corpses flew into the sky with those fires. In a moment, only countless fragments of corpses fell, and stumps and legs fell all over the ground. Under the dense blue capital city, nearly a hundred blank areas with a radius of several zhang appeared in an instant.
At this moment, nearly 4,000 non-commissioned officers of the Turkic army were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded. The huge lethality of the earth-shattering thunder made the entire battlefield pause, and many of the Turkic soldiers who were extremely excited just now, thinking about going to the city to get a bounty, were already pale at this time, and they were retreating.
This is not the first time that Zhao Jun's earth-shaking thunder has appeared on the steppe, nor is it the first time it has been used in the Turkic tribes. It appeared once in the land of the state, but Xue Jian Khan did not know the actual situation of the earth-shaking thunder. In the last time Li Chenfeng led the army to raid Moran and other tribes, it was also used once, but most of the clansmen of these tribes were alive and dead, and the Turkic army officers and soldiers did not care about the appearance of this earth-shattering thunder.
In the offensive and defensive battle of Landu City, the Zhao army has not been used, so Xue Jian Khan also forgot that the Zhao army had such a sharp weapon. Therefore, the Heaven-Shaking Thunder is really the strongest counterattack against the dense siege team, and it is also the most effective counterattack.
All those Turkic troops were shocked and panicked in the face of the huge earth-shattering thunder. Most of the soldiers regarded these things as heavenly thunder, and in their eyes, only heavenly thunder in this world would have such prestige. The entire battlefield fell silent, as if time had suddenly stopped. The morale that had been high suddenly weakened, and even some soldiers and slaves were quietly retreating.
"Damn! What is this thing? What is Zhao Jun's? "The Turkic army is in the main formation, Xue Jian Khan suddenly roared angrily, like madness, for the blue capital city, the price he paid was too great. Geely's more than 100,000 soldiers aside, this siege cost another 80,000 or 90,000 casualties, and he could not let this operation fail. In his opinion, above the Blue Capital City, King Zhao personally went out to defend the city, so there must still be not many defenders in the Blue Capital City. There will certainly be no accidents in this siege operation.
"Pass the order, continue to attack, and those who dare to retreat will be killed! The officers of all departments strictly inspect all departments, and whoever runs away will be severely punished by the officers! Xue Jian Khan ordered frantically.
"There must not be many such weapons in Zhao Jun, otherwise they would not have used it at this moment, and they would have been used a few days ago. Zhao Jun's move also shows that it is difficult for them to hold on! The soldiers will attack with all their might, take the Blue Capital City, and the reward will be doubled! ”
Xue Khan's heralds kept shouting to convey the orders of Xue Khan to the Turkic soldiers outside the city, and asked the overseers to kill dozens of retreating soldiers one after another, which made those frightened Turkic soldiers finally get a little better. After waiting for a while, he found that those things that would explode like earth-shaking thunder did not continue to appear, and he couldn't help but start to try to attack again. And Xue Jian's double reward also made these soldiers ecstatic. In an instant, they suppressed the fear in their hearts and continued to rush forward.
More than 100 earth-shattering thunderbolts killed more than 4,000 enemy soldiers and injured more than 2,000 at one time, which can already be said to be a miracle. If it weren't for the fact that the crowding Turkic army was too dense, even a specially processed Heaven-shattering Thunder would not have been able to achieve such a good result.
Now that the approaching Turkic army has been slaughtered, the Zhao army will naturally not continue to shoot casually. Without a sufficient concentration of enemy troops, the Earthquake Thunder will not achieve its maximum effect. Of course, there are not many enemy troops, and the threat to Blue Capital City will not be too great, and the Heaven-Shaking Thunder will naturally not continue to be used casually. This kind of thing naturally needs to be used in the most critical place. Only in this way can we give full play to the left and right.
The effect of the earth-shattering thunder terrified the Turkic army, but it also pleased the morale of the defenders. Above the entire city, there was a burst of cheers. At this moment, the defenders, especially the three non-commissioned soldiers and the reserve army of the Landu tribe, were no longer afraid of the enemy attacking the city. Because, they all saw that not far from them, there were quite a few earth-shaking thunderbolts piled up there.
The siege continued again, and just after the earth-shattering thunder exploded, many Turkic troops who had almost climbed to the top of the city fell again. At this time, more Turkic troops arrived from the rear and continued to follow the ladder to the city. On the city, rocks and rolling wood, fire oil and gold juice, and various tools to defend the city were constantly smashed against the Turkic army on the ladder.
In an instant, countless Turkic soldiers were about to climb the city when they were smashed down by the happy defenders with endless equipment to defend the city.
The recruited Landu tribesmen smashed rolling stones and wood, while the rest of the defenders all drew their bows and arrows, desperately shooting arrows at the city. Each arrow will always hit an enemy.
After paying a heavy price, stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the Turkic army under the city finally kept people jumping on the top of the city. The sword and shield soldiers at the head of the city took up their horizontal swords and engaged the enemy in short combat, while the crossbowmen made a surprise attack from the rear.
The Turkic army continued to pour into the city, and the Zhao army in the city did not give an inch, and both sides were fighting together for their lives. Everywhere there was white-knuckle fighting, and as more and more Turkic troops poured into the city, groups of heavy armor began to appear, and they took heavy steps towards the enemy......
As soon as the heavy armor appeared, the situation was immediately reversed!
All these heavy-armored soldiers had to do was use their heavy axes to pick up and slash at each other. More than 1,000 heavily armored soldiers advanced like a wall, killing in three steps. These soldiers, covered in armor, engaged in white-knuckle battles with the enemy in this city, and they were simply invincible.
The head of the city is already small, and it is impossible to set up a position at all, especially the siege side, and even the weapons are mostly short weapons such as swords. In such an environment, any formation array is no longer reliable, and the most reliable is the strong individual combat ability.
And the heavy armor soldiers defending the city didn't need any arrays at all, they only needed five or six people to go to that row, and then steadily advance straight and straight in rows. The Turkic soldiers who had successfully pressed the city and attacked the city continued to retreat. No matter how strong the soldiers are, they can't stop a big axe that goes straight down, they just don't need to defend at all, they just need to chop, chop, and chop again, and all that is left is the broken human body all over the ground.
For the heavy armor, the Turkic army had no way at all. There are almost no weaknesses in the heavy armor, at least for the siege of the city. In addition to the eyes, the weapons equipped by the Turkic soldiers who attacked the head of the city naturally could not be bows and arrows. Besides, they don't have the chance of killing them with a single blow. Therefore, on the city walls, they almost had to be slaughtered by the defenders.
Gradually, the Turkic soldiers who killed the head of the city were slowly forced back by the heavy armor. However, the hard fighting for days also made it difficult for the heavy armor soldiers to last. The situation at the head of the city is changing, and from time to time the Zhao army retreats, and the Turkic army speaks in front. From time to time, the Zhao army counterattacked, and the Turkic army retreated.
"My lord, the Turkic army outside the city has gathered again!"
"Earthquake thunder, keep shooting! Since it's here again, it's time to entertain you! Zhao Xun said coldly.
"Boom ......"
Another firelight and a loud noise, this time in the evening when it was getting dark, so the light of the fire outside the city was very clear. As the last time, the advantage was five or six thousand casualties. However, this time, many soldiers saw the sparks flickering and ran to retreat. But how can we retreat from this dense crowd of soldiers?
This time, the appearance of the earth-shattering thunder completely collapsed the Turkic army that was completely besieging the city. The Turkic army outside the city no longer had the same momentum as before. Although they did not scatter and flee, the Turkic soldiers who were outside the explosion range no longer dared to approach lightly. Even, many soldiers fled directly to the rear, and the overseer team did not continue to supervise the battle at this moment.
"Damn...... I ......"
Seeing such a situation, Xue Jian Khan, who was in the main formation of the Turkic army, opened his eyes with anger and opened his mouth speechlessly.
Seeing that the Blue Capital City could be breached, however, it failed again and again. At this moment, Xue Khan's hands were trembling, just like a gambler, he was "forced" to increase his chips again and again. Now the chips have been added more and more, but there is no harvest yet. Under the seemingly crumbling Blue Capital City, he was lured by Zhao Jun. He sent his troops again and again, always thinking that the next moment he would be victorious.
Now what? The morale of the whole army plummeted, and the soldiers were exhausted. It looked like he was about to take the Blue Capital City, but the result was still ...... Xue Jian Khan was very unwilling, but at this moment, he couldn't be disgusted by this unknown weapon against Zhao Jun. He wanted to continue, but looking at the soldiers in front of him and around him, he knew that it was no longer possible to continue the night battle.
"Great Khan, the morale of the soldiers is gone, it is better to stop the attack. In addition, the soldiers were exhausted after a hard day's battle. Besides, when we figure out this weapon of Zhao Jun, it's not too late to take action! The right general, Beduyan, hurriedly explained.
Xue Jian Khan looked fiercely at the slowly fluttering flame Qilin Banner above the Blue Capital City, his heart was full of anger, and his hidden hands holding the horsewhip were already trembling uncontrollably.
After hesitating for a long time, Xue Jian Khan gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat and return to the camp!" ”
Immediately, outside the Blue Capital City, the Turkic soldiers who received the military order immediately hurriedly rushed back, as if there was a Zhao army chasing in front of them. Many officers of the Turkic army secretly breathed a sigh of relief, such a situation, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even these officers, were also terrified, and they had long been eager to withdraw immediately.
On the top of the Blue Capital City, when the soldiers of Zhao saw the Turkic army withdrawing, there was immediately a cheer, and they were celebrating the victory of the battle.
Xue Jian, who had just turned his horse's head and evacuated to the camp, suddenly heard the earth-shattering cheers behind him, and couldn't help but clench his hands, and his heart was even more angry. I can't wait to turn the horse's head and kill it again. However, he knew that this could only be thought of in his heart. Before figuring out the weapons used by Zhao Jun tonight, the soldiers under his command no longer dared to storm the attack.
