The earth-shattering shouts of "kill ......" and the clashing of weapons spread throughout the wilderness, accompanied by the wails of ignoring people and the angry scolding of officers.

"Poof......" Zhao Xun let go of his right hand pulling the string, and an arrow flew out with a whistling sound, shooting the centurion of the Turkic army who wounded three soldiers defending the city not far away.

Today is the third day of the siege, and the Turkic army has not left, nor has it slowed down the offensive, but has become more and more fierce each time. On several occasions, the city was attacked by the Turkic army, but was eventually driven down.

The reason why the Turkic army is still attacking is that in addition to taking the Blue Capital City is of great significance to Xue Jian Khan, it is also because his subordinates have killed the city many times and almost broke the city, and even the lord of the Zhao army, King Zhao, personally participated in the battle. It was precisely because of the possibility of breaking the city that Xue Jian Khan attacked desperately.

"My lord, it seems that the Khan of the Turkic army is determined to take this place. What we expected has already happened. Li Chenfeng, who was behind Zhao Xun, loosened his right arm, which was a little tired from archery, looked at the dense Turkic army outside the city, and said slowly.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Isn't this exactly what we think, but the onslaught of the Turkic army's power is indeed very stressful on us. If it weren't for the Blue Capital City to defend, if it weren't for the heavy armor soldiers on the side, I was afraid that it would be difficult to hold on to the Blue Capital City if it didn't apply to the earth-shattering thunder. ”

Li Chenfeng was silent, looked at the soldiers of the Zhao army fighting in front, and couldn't help but feel a heavy heart. He saw that, as his lord said, although the soldiers' counterattack was simply advantageous, it seemed very mechanical. Because it was a hand-to-hand battle almost from the beginning, the soldiers were a little indifferent and even numb after a series of hard battles......

On the walls of the Blue Capital City, there are traces of blood coagulation, which reflect a dark red light in the sun.

Li Chenfeng exhaled slowly, as if to eliminate the bloody aura hidden in his chest. Immediately said to Zhao Xun, "My lord, can you make a counterattack appropriately?" Although the heavy armor soldiers have participated in the battle, there are not many of them, so why don't we gather together and fight back with all our might? In this way, it can also reduce the pressure of defending the city. ”

Zhao Xun shook his head, "Wait, it's not time yet...... The heavy armor can now be used as an emergency, but it should not be lightly attacked, if it is attacked, it will inevitably make Xue Jian Khan immediately retreat, which is not the best result for us. Since there is going to be a war, it is necessary to make this Turkic army pay a certain price, and it must be successful in one battle. The time has not yet come, and we must continue to be patient...... The operation of the army in Dingzhou and the land of Bingzhou should have just begun, and in three days we will be able to fully penetrate the Turkic steppe tribes, and then it will be our best time to act. ”

"By the way, is there any news from the three acropolis? Did the Turkic army act against them? ”

Li Chenfeng shook his head and said: "At the beginning, the Turkic army intended to besiege us from all sides, but they were all repelled by the defenders of the Acropolis with strong bows and crossbows, and they were suppressed by the defenders of the Blue Capital City. Therefore, the Turkic army only sent people to monitor and did not attack. Come to think of it, they were afraid of the last time we made the Acropolis stand out as a surprise soldier. ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Let the soldiers hold on for another three days, and after three days, we are fighting back." What needs to be done now is to give the Turkic army the illusion that the city is about to be broken, and force the Turkic army Xue Jian to continue to consume the soldiers under his command to break the city. ”

At this moment, Xue Jian Khan is also difficult to ride a tiger, his original intention was to take advantage of the battle of the blue capital city not long ago, when the materials to defend the city were scarce, the army raided and broke the city in one fell swoop, but the actual situation made him angry and shocked. The defenders of Blue Capital City counterattacked far more strongly than he expected, and the morale of the city sergeants was not what he expected.

The city was not as he expected, after the battle, the lost troops were defeated, and the materials for defending the city were exhausted. Instead, the armor and equipment are complete, there is no shortage of bows, crossbows and arrows, and all kinds of materials for defending the city. This made Xue Jian Khan immediately understand that this Blue Capital City was not as he expected, and it would be broken with one blow.

However, under the strong attack, although the troops were lost, it was not unbreakable. The army has killed the city several times, and there is a great possibility of breaking through the city. Therefore, in order to attack the city in the shortest possible time, for three consecutive days, the army attacked the city from morning to night, without interruption, in order to quickly take the blue capital.

Another reason that made Xue Jian Khan determined to attack the city was that King Zhao, the lord of the Zhao army, also appeared on the city wall, and because his own army went to the head of the city, King Zhao personally guarded it. This made Xue Jian Khan feel that the Blue Capital City was about to be taken by himself. After all, even the Lord of the Zhao Army personally took action, doesn't this mean that the Blue Capital City is about to be conquered?

"Beduyan, what are the casualties of our army? Also, when will our men be able to capture the Blue Capital? Xue Jian Khan rubbed his eyebrows, and asked the right general beside him Beduyan with a depressed face.

Beduyan was a close confidant of Xue Jian Khan, and after Xue Jian Khan was defeated by the Zhao army in Bingzhou, and the Turkic steppe tribes had other intentions, Xue Jian Khan began to rectify the various departments, and also divided the four generals before and after the left and right according to the Han formation. Beduyan was one of its four generals.

Beduyan replied in a deep voice: "Back to the Khan, in the past three days, my siege soldiers have lost more than 40,000. In addition, our army almost broke the city many times, but failed to achieve success in one fell swoop. ”

After a pause, Beduyan said again: "Great Khan, what we want in this action is swiftness and suddenness, only by taking the Blue Capital City in the shortest possible time can we not be in a disadvantageous situation, and can we occupy a higher position than the Han people from the beginning." But...... But now, we have been in a stalemate here for three days, and the war is going on to our detriment. Regardless of the rest for the time being, it is the land of Xiazhou of the Zhao army, and it will also send reinforcements to support here. By then, it will be more difficult for us to attack the city, so ......"

"So you're going to build yì Ben Khan and immediately wave his army and retreat, right?" Xue Jian Khan said lightly, "The Zhao army sent reinforcements from Xiazhou, and with their marching speed, it would be two or three days later at the earliest. As far as we know, there is no large army in the land of Zhao Jun Xiazhou, only a local garrison army. These garrisons were divided into various places, and it was not easy to assemble them in a short time. In addition, they are mostly new pawns. ”

"It was not the Zhao army in Xia Prefecture that really had a great impact on us, but the Zhao army that came from the south of Bingzhou. However, from the southern part of the state, it would take ten days and half a month to come here through Xiazhou. Therefore, we can ignore these reinforcements. You can't stop you from attacking a city because of the enemy's imminent reinforcements. ”

"In addition, Ben Khan has rectified the various ministries and consumed countless materials, and now, we lack all kinds of materials, and these missing things can only go south to Zhao to plunder. If Ben Khan retreats like this, not to mention that Ben Khan's prestige will no longer exist, even the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of people under Ben Khan's command will not be able to live in peace! These, you should understand! ”

Beduyan was silent, and he naturally knew very well the importance of Blue Capital City to Xue Jian Khan. Now, the Turkic army is moving south, not just to raid Zhaodi, as usual, but just a routine. Now, going south to Zhao to loot is to survive. Xue Jian Khan reorganized all the departments, gathered the warriors, and formed a unified army. Among them, there are many small tribes that have been destroyed, and there are also many large tribes that have been offended.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops, the logistical pressure that needs to be borne at the same time is also greater. In addition, it is necessary to suppress the discontent of the ministries. If you can't take the Blue Capital City this time, open the passage to the south. Then, Xue Jian's prestige in the steppe will no longer exist. At that time, the various tribes were only afraid that they would use this as an excuse to attack Xue Jian Khan.

"The meaning of the Great Khan, we continue to attack the city? However, we failed to defeat the enemy after attacking for three days, and I think that the Zhao army has already transmitted the news to the state and Dingzhou of Zhao. If this is the case, then our rear will be unstable, and the consequences will ......" Beduyan thought about it and said again.

Xue Jian Khan sneered: "The consequences? What are the consequences? If we were to retreat like this this time, what would happen to us? Ben Khan tells you that if we are defeated this time, then we will not be able to afford the daily needs of hundreds of thousands of troops; will receive ridicule and contempt from all the tribes; It will also make the prestige of Ben Khan no longer exist in the entire steppe. Ben Khan can't afford to bear such consequences, do you understand? Because of this, Ben Khan is no longer Xue Jian Khan! In that case, what does Ben Khan have to scruple about? ”

The more Xue Jian Khan spoke, the more crazy his face became, "If the Zhao army is dispatched from the land of Merge Prefecture and Dingzhou, what will it be?" Will their armies attack our back? Perhaps, but more likely to attack various other tribes. Those damn old bastards, who used to be at odds with Ben Khan at every turn. Now, he is still against Ben Khan at every turn. That being the case, wouldn't it be nice to let Zhao Jun touch them? ”

"And here in Blue City, we already have the possibility of breaking the city, don't we? As long as you take the Blue Capital City, it is worth paying no matter how big the loss is. This time, Ben Khan wants to personally capture the lord of the Zhao army. Xue Khan said sharply.

"Pass the order, tonight, we will continue to siege the city, and the army will replace and rest! Ben Khan wants to see if this blue capital city is a city of copper and cast iron. Ben Khan also wants to see what this King Zhao is capable of, and whether he dares to defend this place. ”

The half-moon slowly rose into the sky, but there were horns outside the blue capital. The inside and outside of the Blue Capital City, which should have been quiet, are now brightly lit, like day.

With the sound of war drums and horns, one after another 10,000 troops marched from the main formation of the Turkic army and began to march towards the blue capital. At this moment, these Turkic soldiers rushed towards the Blue Capital City as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They trampled over the corpses and rushed to the bottom of the walls.

Night fights? The soldiers of the defenders of the Blue Capital City were secretly surprised, they didn't expect that the battle would be so hard during the day, and after just a meal at night, the Turkic army attacked the city again.

Xue Jian Khan was finally determined to attack the Blue Capital, so much so that he had to fight at night. In this regard, Zhao Xun and others were also taken aback.

In order to quickly take the Blue Capital City, Xue Jian Khan announced in public that the first soldier to ascend the city would be rewarded after the city was broken and thousands of households would be sealed. The first 10,000 people to open the city gate will be rewarded from top to bottom! Not only money, but also livestock and slaves, and regardless of status, they were promoted to the next level. Anyone who killed one of the defenders of the Zhao army was given a reward and slaves. Anyone who captures the officers of the Zhao Army will be promoted to the third level.

In addition, after breaking through the Blue Capital City and plundering the surrounding tribes freely, you can also move freely after going south to Zhaodi, and what you get is your own. Such an attractive reward made those Turkic soldiers who were originally a little unhappy to fight at night cheer. One by one, their eyes were shining, and they vowed to cut off the heads of the soldiers of the Zhao army.

More than 100 simple ladders were carried by Turkic soldiers like ants and swarmed to the face, although the blue capital city is not small, but the other three sides are not conducive to the Turkic army to attack the city. Moreover, the moat on the remaining three sides was not filled by Geely. Therefore, all the existing 1560,000 Turkic troops appeared outside the northern city, especially at night, under the light of the lights, standing at the head of the city and looking down, the entire blue capital city seemed to be a lonely reef in the vast sea, which could be overwhelmed by the constant red wave at any time.

"The Turkic army's attack is even more fierce than in the daytime!" Li Chenfeng frowned and said.

Zhao Xun looked at these without any rules, no formations, nothing, just boundless, countless, endless crowds, and couldn't help frowning slightly. It seems that the heavy armor is going to be dispatched in advance.

"The heavy armor soldiers were ordered to prepare, and the heavy armor soldiers were divided into five teams, four of which took turns to guard the northern city. But whenever there is an emergency, troops can be sent to help. The last team is a reserve to prevent accidents. Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice.

"Let the 10,000 young men who have not participated in the battle today go to the city, distribute bows and arrows, and let them help defend the city."

"Command the Divine Machine Battalion, let all the crossbow machines be ready to attack, don't save crossbow arrows! There is no need to suppress either. ”

Zhao Xun issued several military orders one after another, and in a few moments, there were nearly 10,000 more on the city wall, and compared with the three warriors, some of the scattered Landu tribes were young and strong. In addition, a large number of arrows and crossbows were transported to the city. Other materials for defending the city, such as stone rolling wood, fire oil and gold juice, were also transported to the city wall by the rest of the tribesmen in the Blue Capital City who had not been recruited to assist in the defense of the young and strong people, and gave them to the defenders.

The sudden night battle caught the entire defenders of Blue Capital City off guard. But fortunately, 30,000 reserve troops were recruited in advance, otherwise, it would really be a bit unbearable. With these reserves in battle, the soldiers can be rotated. In addition, ordinary Landu tribesmen can also go to the city to assist in defense. I don't dare to say about hand-to-hand combat, but throwing some defensive equipment and shooting arrows is not a difficult problem for these nomads.

"Lord, it seems that this Xue Khan is in a hurry! However, this night battle did us no good, it only tired the soldiers. Zhang Yuanjing, who rushed to the city wall after hearing the news, also frowned slightly and said.

These whispered, "It's okay! Not only are we tired from night fighting, but why aren't the Turkic armies like this? It would not be a bad thing for us to let the Turkic army outside the city lose its troops earlier. ”

Zhang Yuanjing said again: "Then let the cavalry in the city and the cavalry outside the city wait on the side?" ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Yes, such a night battle, two days, is enough to make the Turkic army neglect to take precautions." At that time, the recuperated cavalry and the earth-shattering thunder will definitely have an extraordinary effect. Xue Jian Khan would not have thought that in the city and outside the city, there were still fifty or sixty thousand cavalry ready to go out at any time. ”

At this moment, the dense Turkic army under the city, the crossbowmen in the city did not need to aim at all, and even only needed to shoot at the sky to hit the opponent. As a result, the walls were covered with crossbowmen. In addition, the bed crossbows have also begun to exert their power, and since the beginning of the siege, the city has been constantly firing rain from the city. Every moment, the Zhao army had to shoot thousands of crossbow arrows. You know, this crossbow can fire several, dozens of crossbows at the same time.

The land beneath the Blue Capital City has been covered with corpses, and the ground has been stained red with red blood. Countless Turkic soldiers fell in the advance, but no one paused, no one retreated, and they all rushed towards the city one after another.

When the Turkic army approached, some of the Turkic soldiers began to set up a formation, shooting arrows at the defenders of Landu City in the rear, in order to suppress the Zhao army's crossbowmen and help their own siege soldiers.

However, the Zhao army not only occupies the geographical advantage, but also occupies the excellent armor and equipment. Therefore, in the process of shooting, where the Zhao army can shoot the Turkic soldiers, the archers of the Turkic soldiers cannot shoot above the city walls. In order for the archers of the Turkic army to reach the area where they could counterattack the archers of the Zhao army, they had to withstand several rounds of arrow rain from the Zhao army. In addition, the bed crossbow and hand crossbow of the Zhao army were also weapons that the Turkic army was powerless to fight.

"Bang bang bang ......bang" A series of ladders had begun to be erected on the city wall, and the approaching Turkic soldiers seemed to have forgotten the arrows flying over their heads, and shouted in unison, as if to embolden themselves, trying to make themselves forget their fears and fears.

"It's a pity that this place is too far away from Xiazhou, otherwise, it would be nice to be able to bring in an extra batch of catapults." Looking at the situation outside the city wall, Zhang Yuanjing sighed. Originally, there were several assembled catapults here, but they were destroyed due to excessive wear and tear during the siege of Geely. And Zhao Xun didn't want some special weapons of the Han people to appear here, so as not to be obtained by foreigners, and the transportation was inconvenient, so he didn't let the rear transport catapults here.

Zhao Xun was supported by more than a dozen big shield bearers and stood aside, while constantly shooting some Turkic army officers with the silver bow in his hand, while constantly issuing various orders, and did not worry at all because of the fierce offensive of the Turkic army outside the city. Zhao Xun's calmness also made the defenders on the city wall feel much more at ease. In particular, the three soldiers and the young men of the Landu tribe and the clansmen all let go of their worries because of this.

After all, they didn't know that there were a lot of earth-shaking thunders in the city, and they didn't know that they had become a cavalry army hiding dozens of miles away. The arrival of 200,000 Turkic troops could not help but worry them. However, the Lord of Zhao Jun is still here, and he is so calm, what are they ordinary people worried about?
