On the upper floor of the Blue Capital City, Zhao Xun, Zhang Yuanjing, Li Chenfeng and other generals and the lords of the three tribes left aside the town guards of the Landu tribe to be located here, and they all looked at the Turkic cavalry that rushed over like ants under the city, Zhang Yuanjing, Li Chenfeng and other Great Zhao generals were a little stunned.

After a while, Zhang Ju was a little stunned: "Strange, we have been relative to them for a month and a half, it is impossible for them not to know that there is a city here." How...... What is this, even if they fill the moat, they will not be able to attack the city. Are they going to fill in the earth alone as if they were filling out a siege road? That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”

Zhang Yuanjing smiled slightly: "This is also a matter of no way, do you think he wants to do this?" These idiots, who didn't know how to prepare earlier, are now in a hurry, so good. This is a place three hundred miles deep into the grassland, and there are no trees to cut down for hundreds of miles around, even if they want to make siege equipment, they can't do it now. ”

"Isn't this better, no matter how many people there are, we can swallow it slowly!" Zhao Xun said coldly, "Order, all crossbow machines, launch immediately!" ”

"Obey!" Zhang Ju, who was in charge of the defense of the city, immediately responded.

At this time, the Turkic army outside the city had rushed to within a kilometer, which was already an effective strike range for a large crossbow machine like the bed crossbow!

This Landu City is placed by the Zhao army as a key place to resist the attack of the Turkic army, and it is the key place for the Zhao army to deploy the first line of the enemy army in the north, and a large number of armor and equipment, food, feather arrows, bows and crossbows are stored in the city, in addition, the people of the Landu tribe are also placed in the city. Of course, a large part of those who still live by herding cattle have moved to the grasslands hundreds of miles to the south.

There were hundreds of bed crossbows on the northern wall, all of which had already been prepared. These bed crossbows, similar in appearance to large wooden beds, more than three meters wide and more than four meters long, are made of large stout wooden nails. In the middle is a stout main shaft, two thigh-thick secondary shafts on both sides, from front to back, on which are fixed seven large bows more than one person long, the bowstrings are tightly broken, and the lower part is connected with complex brackets, and there are winch ropes and other things on both sides.

On the bow, there was a huge crossbow arrow, one and a half meters long, the arm was thick, the whole body was black, obviously iron-cladned, and the arrow was similar to a spear, flashing with a cold glow.

Under the military order of the officers of the Shenji Battalion, the soldiers stirred the axles, and more than 100 bed crossbows jumped tightly on the string.

The next moment, a huge buzzing sound resounded throughout the battlefield, and countless thick crossbow arrows flew into the sky, forming a black cloud, because the arrows were iron balls, because of the weight of the arrows, these crossbow arrows took on a parabolic shape in the air, and fell heavily.

Fell into the midst of the Turkic soldiers who were busy filling the moat. The Turkic soldiers are unavoidable, although there are war horses to ride, but how to defend against the crossbow arrows that come from the sky and are weak and thunderous? At the moment, they can only hope that they can be lucky to dodge the crossbow machine and not be hit.

"Chirp ......" A piercing and ugly whistling sound sounded, and a Moran tribe cavalry could not dodge before he was hit in the head by a crossbow bolt the thickness of the baby's arm, and his head was smashed into a mess on the spot, and the red and white mixed together splashed several meters away, and his body fell off the horse, and fell to the ground, and his fingers seemed to twitch twice. Immediately afterward, it was trampled under the feet of the war horse that followed closely behind......

However, the bolt did not stop when it hit one person, and two days after the piercing, it hit a fourth person again. The bolt blasted the dirt wrapped in his clothes and stabbed him in the chest. Although the mud bag in his arms effectively resisted the impact of a part of the crossbow arrow, the crossbow arrow was thick and long, and the outside was wrapped with a thick iron sheet, coupled with the length it had, the crossbow arrow was not light, and under the action of the huge kinetic energy blessing external gravity, a huge impact force was formed. The soldier's chest was pierced with broken tendons, and his entire chest collapsed, and on his back, there was a bloody bone stubble piercing out. ……

The effect of this crossbow bolt is quite sharp, and the lethality brought by a crossbow bolt is indescribable. Each crossbow bolt can pierce several people, and even, even the horses and knights can pierce them together, nailing them to the ground. As soon as the round came down, it was a dense rain of lethal arrows, which came out of thin air, and there was no way to dodge it. Can only resist hard! Rely on luck to get yourself away with it......

In just one round of shooting, more than 300 Turkic troops fell to fill the river. It's just one round, because the shooting effect of this crossbow machine is so powerful that many crossbow arrows kill more than one person.

But no matter how strong the counterattack of Blue Capital City is, the warriors of the Moran tribe under the city can only continue to fill the moat with their lives. Jing Wu, the head of the Moran tribe, looked at the situation in front of him, and his heart almost wanted to drip blood.

"It seems that they are not willing to fill a way out of this moat!" Looking at the Turkic army that was not stopping, Zhao Xun said coldly, and then gave the order loudly: "Pass the order, all bed crossbows, continue to wind, continue to fire!" Until the Turkic army outside the city was killed. ”

The soldiers hurriedly put the huge crossbow arrows into the groove again, then shook their brackets and pulled the bowstring, ready to continue firing. In order for the Turkic army to take down the first obstacle to the siege, it must continue to approach the city. And in this way, these Turkic troops will be constantly shot by crossbow arrows......

The Turkic army was still stubborn and silent to fill the moat, and of course, they were forced to do so. On the city wall, the officers of the Zhao Army just kept ordering arrows and firing with expressionless faces! The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were tired and sweaty, and they didn't dare to pause at all, repeating the same movements over and over again.

When the Turkic army was still a hundred meters from the moat, the effectiveness of the crossbow machines in the city was greatly reduced. After all, the crossbow machine cannot shoot the enemy under its feet, and it is extremely inconvenient to move the direction. Therefore, at this time, the Turkic cavalry breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, they could dodge the crossbow shot, even if it was only for a short time.

"Command, archers shoot the enemy who comes close!"

Suddenly, these Turkic troops, who had just approached the moat and were ready to hide from the lazy, encountered a catastrophe again. This time the volley came not with crossbow arrows, but with a rain of arrows pressed by black pressure. The result is obvious, although the arrows are not as powerful as the crossbow arrows. However, the number of arrows is dozens of times that of a crossbow, and the speed of firing arrows is also dozens of times that of a crossbow machine. Therefore, the killing effect brought by the rain of arrows does not have to be weak at all, or even stronger. It's just that the pressure brought by the rain of arrows to the Turkic army is not as strong as that of the crossbows.

Many Turkic soldiers dodged crossbow arrows and arrows and finally reached the side of the moat, and then they hurriedly threw the sandbags in their hands into the river, and many soldiers fell directly into the moat. In the moat, which was more than a few meters deep, sandbags were instantly swallowed, and the river water was flooded with large areas of earthy yellow and blood red.

The Turkic sergeant who threw down the sack turned around and ran, of course, suffering several rounds of blows on the way back. After they returned, some soldiers had already prepared new sandbags and waited for them to continue filling the river. What awaits them is another tragic journey of death.

The denser the formation, the more conducive it is to the sniping of the Zhao army on the city wall, and the heavier his own losses, Jingwu is naturally very aware of this situation. Therefore, he let his soldiers disperse into multiple batches, and try to scatter the formation as much as possible, which can also effectively reduce casualties, and can also give the soldiers more time to rest.

However, Rao is like this, and the heavy casualties also make his heart twist. He was not afraid of soldiers fighting the enemy on the battlefield. However, now this kind of behavior is completely to send to death.

Time passed step by step, and after an hour, and under the desperate efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Moran tribe, one section of the moat had been filled with a soil slope about 100 meters long and 15 meters wide, and there was still a distance of five meters to reach the opposite bank. At the very least, you can face the city wall directly.

And the price paid is that there are more than 10,000 soldiers of the Moran tribe, and less than 1,000 people are intact in the end. Among them, more than 7,000 were killed, and about 2,000 were rewarded. In other words, this 10,000-strong team basically no longer exists.

As for the Zhao army, they did not lose a single soldier at all, and the only thing they paid was part of the hoarded crossbow arrows and arrows. This is negligible for Zhao Jun in the Blue Capital City. The Turkic army had already suffered so many casualties before they even touched the walls of the Blue Capital.

Such a heavy casualty is not only the blood dripping from the heart of Jingwu, the commander of the Moran tribe, but also the teeth of hatred creaking. Even the rest of the soldiers who were watching the battle in the rear were eyelids jumping, and their hearts were extremely worried. A moat is so difficult to fill, they can already foresee that what will happen under this blue capital city must be a tragic tug-of-war! And the next thing to pay, it's them.

At this moment, even the former army coach Geely had an ugly face, and his heart was a little fluctuating. He was tempted to withdraw his troops and go back to prepare, and fight again in a few days. But he couldn't just go back like that. After all, he was part of the war against Xue Khan.

"Chi'e and Haring, the two of you continue to fill in the earth, and under the rule of the city wall, fill in the places where you can climb up. Vulture and Shigan, the two of you suppressed the counterattack of the Zhao army above the city with cavalry and shooting. At the same time, continue to fill the moat, connecting the two sides of the moat, so as to facilitate the movement of our army. Geely gritted his teeth and ordered in a cold voice.

So, this time, a team of 40,000 people was dispatched to the north of the Blue Capital City.

"Wuyuan and Wulin, the two of you are heading towards the acropolis on the left and right sides of the Blue Capital City to check if there is any possibility of attacking. At the same time, it is necessary to guard against the acropolis on the left and right, and be careful that they send troops to help. ”

As soon as the military order was given, a passionate horn suddenly sounded among the Turkic army. Tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers gathered again and moved towards the Blue Capital.

After the Turkic army's various commanders were ordered, their faces turned slightly pale. Those who did not receive military orders breathed a sigh of relief. But no matter what, the commander, who is now under military orders, must move forward.

The four phalanxes in the north of the city began to slowly disperse, and as the queue unfolded, the army began to slowly advance, and the centurion, the ten-commander and other generals stepped on their horses one after another, and under the escort of their own guards, they stepped forward in person, while the generals at the level of the commander drove their horses forward and went to command their troops.

"Death again!" Looking at the solemn atmosphere, Zhao Xun calmly issued an order: "Order the Shenji Battalion, let them change the crossbow machine shooter, and let the bed crossbow continue to prepare!" The archers of the three divisions are also rotated! ”

After changing a group of soldiers, the soldiers on the city wall pulled the bed crossbow open again and put on the big arrows again.

This time, the Turkic army that became piled up was denser and easier to shoot. When the Turkic army was thousands of kilometers away from the city wall, the Zhao army on the city wall once again released the crossbow arrows in their hands. The crossbow is slower to wind, so it needs to be fired when it reaches range. Of course, this is also the way to defend the city, and it does not deliberately wait for the enemy to approach the most effective distance. Because, sooner or later, the enemy army will get closer and closer, and it will be more and more convenient to shoot.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired towards the city, this time facing the dense number of soldiers of the Turkic army, especially now that they needed to pass through the passage in the moat of Guò, and a large number of soldiers gathered together. These bed crossbows immediately showed the great power of this era as the pinnacle of cold weapons.

Someone was pierced by a giant crossbow, and a bloody hole the size of a human head shot out of his chest, and then he was nailed to the ground again. Someone was hit in the head, and the whole good head was like a rotten watermelon that had been stepped on, and it was immediately shattered, and the snow-white brain pulp and bright red blood shot out in all directions. Others were shot twice by this crossbow arrow, and their corpses were scattered and blood flowed.

And the consequence of the stricter formation is that often after the giant crossbow shoots through a person, the residual momentum is still inexhaustible, and it will hit the chest and head of the person behind it fiercely, causing damage again.

The bed crossbow is the pinnacle of Han cold weapons, and it is an incomprehensible artifact of the Turkic army. Now, the crossbow kept firing, blood splattered, and screams ......

After paying a heavy and unspeakable price of casualties, the Turkic army finally approached the city walls. At this moment, the Turkic army that became also began to play what they were good at, that is, archery.

And the bed crossbow is at this distance, and it is no longer very useful. Therefore, the bed crossbow continued to shoot at the rear of the enemy army. In the vicinity, there are also preparations on the city walls. Don't forget, there are also Turks in the city walls. The three Turkic soldiers, all of whom are armoured with the armor and equipment of this Great Zhao, are they comparable to the Turkic army?

Under Zhao Xun's signal, Zhang Ju ordered in a loud voice: "Crossbowmen, archers, prepare!" ”

Above the city, in addition to the three archers who appeared at the beginning, the Zhao army also prepared crossbowmen. They are responsible for individual crossbow arrows such as the Divine Arm Crossbow.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Dazhao defenders took action, wound the crossbow arrows, and set up arrows. The archers draw their bows vigorously and make final preparations.

After waiting for the Turkic army to reach a certain distance, Zhang Ju's face turned cold, and he waved his hand and gave an order: "Crossbowmen, shoot!" ”

Instantly, the crossbowman pulled the bracket, and the archer loosened his fingers......

Suddenly, countless crossbows and arrows roared sharply in mid-air, covering the sky and shooting towards the Turkic army that was getting closer and closer.

Thousands of crossbow arrows, thousands of arrows were fiercely nailed into the Turkic army, and suddenly, at this moment, countless large holes appeared in the entire Turkic army's array, as if it had been drenched by raindrops on dry sand. Sharp crossbow arrows shot diagonally from above them, piercing their bodies with an irresistible angle and tremendous force. Blood splattered everywhere, and with great force, the crossbow arrows carried their bodies to the ground, and the sharp tips even drove into the ground.

These Turkic armies were like a stubble of wheat that had been cut down by Qi Qi, and countless corpses fell, and Yin Hong's blood immediately flowed out. A moment later, the ground was soaked in blood again.

Although the Turkic army outside the city also had arrows, their bows and arrows were far worse than those of the Zhao army. In addition, they were outside the city, while the Zhao army was condescending, so they naturally occupied a favorable geographical position. Also, the Zhao soldiers had excellent armor, while the Turkic army only wore leather armor and very few wore iron armor.

The combination of crossbow arrows and bows and arrows, each round of shooting, brought an unprecedented blow to the Turkic army. Coupled with the long-range shooting of the bed crossbow, the effect is even more indescribable. The sharp counterattack of the Zhao army brought not only casualties to the Turkic army, but more of a psychological deterrent.

At the same time, under the acropolis on both sides, the Zhao army also engaged in a battle with the Turkic army. However, as with the effect of the Blue Capital, the attack of the Turkic army could not help the Acropolis at all. On top of the acropolis, there were also crossbow machines and archers, as well as large quantities of weapons and forage, enough for the defenders to hold out for many days.

For the Turkic army, the most important thing was that they did not have siege equipment. Even if you get to the outside of the Blue Capital City, you still need to fill in the ground again and fill in a slope that can rush up the city wall. But how many casualties does this cost? The commanders of the Turkic army are not clear, and the auspicious ones are not clear......

Time passed slowly, and both the Zhao army and the Turkic army fell into a tragic offensive and defensive battle. At this moment, Rao is armor is sharp, and the Zhao army, which occupies a favorable position, also began to have casualties. And the Turkic army, which became, suffered even greater casualties. It can be said that the number of casualties is shocking! But the former commander of the Turkic army, Jili, was like crazy and attacked desperately.

And under the city walls, tens of thousands of Turkic troops have begun to fill in a small slope. Therefore, Geely is reluctant to give up. He knew that once he withdrew his troops now, the sacrifice of these tens of thousands of soldiers would not be rewarded, and it would be considered a vain sacrifice. Because, after they evacuate, the Zhao army will definitely clear the outside of the city.

The red-eyed Geely rejected the dissuasion of all his subordinates and was determined to achieve results today.
