Ten days later, the city of Blue Capital fell into fierce fighting again. The Turkic army, which had been replenished with supplies, launched another fierce attack.

Unlike the last time, this time the Turkic soldiers were equipped with shields and ladders.

In the earth-shattering sound of trumpets and war drums, tens of thousands of Turkic troops held wooden shields and leather shields, carried sandbags, and rushed to the moat overwhelmingly. In the face of crossbow arrows, the shields of the Turkic army were useless. But when it got closer, the rain of arrows had an extraordinary effect.

In the crunch sound of "clanging", countless arrows were nailed into the wooden shields and leather shields, and many arrows were ejected and flew away. Others shot through the edges of their shields, piercing the bodies of the Turkic soldiers. However, these shields still blocked a lot of arrows. At the very least, it gives them a layer of protection.

In this regard, the defenders of the Blue Capital City did not panic, and for the Turkic army nearby, it was still a rain of crossbow arrows and arrows. No matter how many shields there are, there is still some effect after all. Enemy troops at a distance still have to face the test of large crossbow arrows.

If he is shot by a large crossbow arrow, even if he has a shield, the shield in his hand will scatter with a "bang", and the shield fragments will eject in all directions. Immediately after that, the owner of the shield will be shot by a crossbow arrow. Either the skull was blown open, or the body was shot through a large hole. Red blood, white brains, and bone fragments flew down, and the appearance was extremely miserable.

But, despite this, the Turkic army was already desperately moving forward, without the slightest intention of retreating or postponing the attack.

On the city wall, Zhao Xun and the others looked at the battle in front of them and were silent. Especially the generals of the various armies who underestimated the Turkic army last time. The battle in front of them also made them understand that the Turkic army is not a group of soft eggs.

"It seems that the commander of the Turkic army is determined to take this city!" Zhang Yuanjing said slowly. For a civil official, the current Zhang Yuanjing has surpassed the experience of ordinary civil officials. The battle on the battlefield was already a daily routine for him, and he did not have any discomfort because of the bloodthirsty fighting.

Zhao Xun said lightly: "Not only is it determined to take the Blue Capital City, but this king is also one of their important goals." It's a pity that Xue Jian still didn't come. ”

Zhang Yuanjing said with a smile: "Although I didn't come, my department has already advanced a hundred miles south. This doesn't mean that this Turkic army khan is also moved. ”

Time passed, and the battle intensified. An hour later, the moat north of the city was filled in by the Turkic army with three siege passages thirty zhang wide.

With the change of the sound of trumpets in the Turkic army, the first wave of more than 10,000 Turkic troops rushed towards the city wall with swords and shields, and behind them were a series of ladders. Each ladder was carried by more than a dozen people towards the city walls.

Because the land price test is getting closer and closer, it reaches the foot of the city wall, so there are more and more arrow rains. Although the Turkic army had shields to defend itself, how could it withstand all the arrows?

Suddenly, the arrows shot down like money, and the sound of the bowstring shook people's hearts.

Looking at the ant-like Turkic army under the city, all the generals on the city wall looked solemn. After all, there aren't many defenders in Blue City. However, the soldiers were not worried that the Blue Capital City would be lost. For now, the dead and wounded are basically Turkic troops, and the casualties are not small. For the soldiers defending the city, all they paid was a huge number of arrows. And Blue Capital City will not lack this thing at all.

When the Turkic soldiers saw that they were approaching the city wall, the shouts that broke out in an instant were like waves of the sea, slapping on the city wall wave after wave, as if they could destroy the city wall at any time.

"Dangdangdang......"

With a loud sound, dozens of cloud ladders began to be erected on the city wall. The Turkic army, having paid a heavy price, finally erected the siege equipment.

Ji Li, who was in the land of the Chinese army outside the city, saw the cloud ladder erected, and immediately ordered excitedly: "Let the Buxin Department dispatch, it is necessary to speed up the action, and we must take the Blue Capital City." ”

The Turkic army sent a complete team of 10,000 people to join the siege sequence, adding new combat power to the siege team. Countless Turkic soldiers with shields on their shoulders approached the cloud ladder, ready to climb up.

"Okay, let's get ready to fight back, I'm going to be here, slowly depleting the living force of the Turkic army. This king wants to see if this Xue Jian Khan really doesn't care at all that all his 130,000 soldiers died here. Zhao Xun looked at the Turkic troops swarming outside the city and said coldly.

"Zhang Ju, don't hit them too hard, when you get to the back, let them feel like they are about to break the city but it's still a little bit close."

Zhang Ju nodded yes, he naturally understood what this meant. You know, there are earth-shattering thunderstorms in the city, and there are quite a few of them. If it was really to defeat the enemy in front of them and make them dare not attack again, it only took a series of earth-shattering thunderbolts to throw out, which was enough to make these Turkic troops dare not move again. However, this is not in the interests of Zhao Jun. The purpose of the Zhao army was to consume the strength of the Turkic army at the largest possible point, so that it would not be able to go south, and it would not be able to go south for years or decades.

"Prepare to roll the wood and smash it hard for Lao Tzu!" Zhang Ju ordered loudly.

In fact, only a small part of the guards on the city wall were Zhao soldiers, and most of them were three soldiers and Landu tribesmen. The master of the three departments, among which the implementation power of the Landu Department is in the hands of Zhao Jun. That is to say, in Landu City, in addition to the 5,000 town army and 5,000 personal guard soldiers, the Zhao army also has the support of tens of thousands of Landu tribesmen. As for the remaining two soldiers, they were divided into four parts and guarded four cities. The Acropolis is the same as the Blue Capital City, and there are also many young men of the Blue Capital tribe stationed as reserves.

Unlike the Han Chinese, Turkic tribes, men, women, and children were both soldiers and civilians. Most of the old, weak, women and children of the Landu tribe were moved south to settle down, leaving behind tens of thousands of young and strong. Therefore, although among these four cities, the army above Zhao Jun is 50,000, but in fact, nearly 100,000 troops can be pulled at any time.

In the north city of the Blue Capital City, dozens of cloud ladders have been erected on the city wall several feet high. Dense Turkic soldiers like ants were crowding under the tower, and soldiers were constantly trying to climb up the ladder, but they were soon smashed down by rolling wooden stones on the top of the city.

"Fire oil! Pour the oil! ”

As the stone rolling wood poured down from the city tower, not only the soldiers on the cloud ladder were killed and wounded, but also the Turkic soldiers who were crowded under the city also fell one by one, screaming continuously. Immediately afterwards, the big vat of boiling hot oil poured down from the city, dozens of soldiers wailed in the boiling oil, and suddenly, a burning rocket shot down from the city tower, and the city tower was lit up with a monstrous fire, swallowing and raging in the flames, countless Turkic soldiers were running and wailing, struggling and rolling......

"Golden juice, pour the golden juice quickly, let these Turkic troops taste it well, haha......" On the city wall, the high voice of the officer spread around. Immediately afterwards, a pot of boiling gold juice was poured against the wall, and like the oil of fire, this golden juice was also not something that a shield could stop. One by one, the soldiers who were burned by Yan zhòng fell to the city screaming, and the flesh and skin on their bodies fell off. You know, gold juice is poisonous......

"Damn it!" The middle army of the Turkic army, looking at the siege soldiers who kept falling on their side, Ji Li hated it with hatred, "Come on, change the second 10,000 people!" ”

As soon as the remnants of the first wave of thousands of people were scattered, the second team of 10,000 people followed, for Geely, every minute and every wonder could not be wasted now, he wanted to take this place as quickly as possible and capture King Zhao.

The second 10,000-strong team was no different from the previous one, it was still covered with arrows at first, and when the battle was at its most intense, the stones and logs on the city tower would fall down, and the jars of gold juice that had been boiled would pour down, so hot that the crowded Turkic soldiers under the city tower cried and shouted for their mothers, and wolves rushed to the ground.

The next moment, the oil followed, sprinkled on the heads of the Turkic soldiers outside the city walls. Immediately afterward, a continuous stream of rockets fell from the tower, and the flames burst from the foot of the city walls, and the raging sea of fire swallowed countless Turkic soldiers in an instant......

Outside the city, Geely watched a 10,000-strong team fail and suffer heavy losses, Tie Qing's face twitched violently, and his eyes became extremely hideous. Those soldiers who were wailing and struggling in the sea of fire were warriors of the Turkic tribes, and if they were fighting in the field outside the city, how could they be like this? The hateful Zhao Xun, the hateful Zhao army, and the hateful Landu tribe, but when the Landu City is broken, the city will be washed in blood and revenge for the soldiers who died in battle.

Above the Blue Capital City, Zhao Xun and the others had already left, leaving behind Han Meng, the general of the Guards, Zhang Ju, the lord of the Northern City, and the commanders of the other two divisions of the Blue Capital tribe.

Looking at the screaming Turkic army, Zhang Ju sneered: "Want to break the city with the advantage of numbers? Think that with a shield and a ladder, you can defeat my Great Zhao army? It's just delusional, the weapons that my Great Zhao army has are no longer understandable to you barbarians. Bring about one's own destruction! A rabble of ears is not to be feared. ”

The generals standing beside Zhang Ju were all silent, especially the three generals who were attached to Zhao Jun, their faces were even more solemn and their eyebrows were silent. At the same time, these people's eyes crossed the sea of fire burning under the city, and looked at the cold soldiers of the Zhao army on the city wall, and their hearts were uneasy and terrified at the same time.

The fighting continued, one day, two days......

Five days later, the moat outside the city of Landu was no longer there, and it had been filled in by the Turkic army. Of the five days, except for the first day, when the Turkic army attacked the most, the remaining four days were mainly filled with rivers and waiting for more shields and ladders to arrive in the rear.

It has to be said that the actions of the rear of the Turkic army were still very rapid. Five days later, there were already more than 100 ladders in the forward army camp of the Turkic army outside the blue capital. And the shield is even more popular, and of course, there is a redundancy.

Rao did not have the right to attack the city during these five days, but in the last four days. However, the forward army of the Turkic army still lost more than 30,000 men. In other words, the Turkic forward army of 130,000 in the past is now only about 70,000. Died at the hands of Blue Capital City and the soldiers of Blue Capital City, in addition to the 60,000 people in the siege battle, plus the first 15,000 people, the total is more than 75,000 people.

Such a large casualty not only did not make Geely retreat, but angered him. At this moment, like a crazy leopard, he can't wait to fly into the Blue Capital City and turn a single qiē in the Blue Capital City into powder.

In these five days, Geely has not thought of a way. The city did not need to transport grain from the rear, so the strategy of cutting off the grain route could not be implemented, which was also a common method used by the Turkic army to attack the Yan state in the old days. After all, there were not many cavalry in the Yan Kingdom.

In addition to the fact that the Zhao army did not need to transport grain from the rear, there were tens of thousands of Zhao cavalry on the surrounding grasslands for hundreds of miles. Of the 30,000 soldiers killed, 5,000 died in the process of testing to the south and preparing to attract the Zhao army in the Blue Capital City. For this reason, Geely did not dare to send an army to the south bypassing the Blue Capital City. There are too many factions, and they are afraid of the Blue Capital City attack. There are fewer factions, and they don't do anything.

Although it is said that if the army of the rear headquarters comes to attack the blue capital, a part of the men and horses can be divided to go south. However, in the territory of Xiazhou, there are still a large number of local government soldiers, and in addition, more young and strong people can be pulled up at any time to counterattack. Of course, the most important thing that forced the Turkic army headquarters to not dare to move lightly was the Zhao army in the steppe of a hundred miles in the north of Bingzhou. In addition, Dingzhou, which has the northwest, also has a large number of Zhao troops eyeing it, so that Xue Jian Khan does not dare to transfer all his troops to the Blue Capital City at will.

Since the official start of the war, one of the 400,000 troops in the Khan's headquarters sent 200,000 to patrol the grassland area bordering Dingzhou and Bingzhou in the east to prevent the Zhao army from attacking from the flank. But Rao is like this, and he still doesn't dare to move lightly.

In five days, the Blue Capital City consumed a lot of stone and rolling wood on the city wall, which is indeed a lot. And the Turkic army also "almost" stormed the city wall many times. This is also the case, so that those who have suffered a lot of losses have not completely lost confidence, so that the generals of all departments are determined to fight to the death with the Zhao army and avenge the dead brothers. Of course, the most important thing is to attack the blue capital city and get benefits.

"The 1,000-3,000 teams on the left and the 1,000-3,000 teams on the right are playing!" Above the Blue Capital City, Zhang Ju's cold voice sounded again.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Dujin tribe and the Tumen tribe who formed the three departments responsible for the blue capital city immediately committed suicide of more than 2,000 people each.

The Dujin tribe on the left, the Tumen tribe on the right, and the Landu tribe in the middle that became the descendants of Zhao Jun. The three thousand-man team is only in their early two thousands. In the battle to defend the city, both the left and right sides are the main forces. In addition to their good shooting, more importantly, they are only attached to Zhao Jun, not Zhao Jun's descendants.

According to the Zhao army's demarcation, each of the nine major tribes has a standing army of 25,000 to 30,000, that is to say, the Zhao army traded 25,000 to 30,000 sets of equipment that were eliminated by the Zhao army, except for crossbow arrows and heavy armor. Among them, the Landu tribe became a part of the Zhao army, and the Bujia tribe was also annexed by the Zhao army. But the remaining seven tribes still had a large army of warriors in their hands. Although there are not many of them, they are together, and the number is not small.

Dividing the nine tribes into three to form three collectives this time is not annexing and weakening these seven tribes? Since it has been cultivated, then it must be used, and it is not difficult to bring it and make it an enemy?

Zhao Xun built cities in three aggregation areas, with Zhao Jun as the main garrison, and each place was built in a tribal camp, gathering enemy troops from the three tribal regions. But at the beginning of the war, the tribes where these three cities were located, their clansmen were moved south by the Zhao army, and began to integrate into the more than 100 tribe lords in the south who were dismantled by the Zhao army. In the three cities, a large number of Han Chinese moved in, especially caravans. In addition, captive livestock is not only a special specialty of nomadic people, but also Han Chinese.

The guards of the Dujin tribe and the Tumen tribe knew that Zhao Jun was weakening himself, but he didn't dare to have the slightest reluctance. Their subordinates were dismantled to various places. In addition to the Blue Capital City and the three acropolises, some of them were incorporated into the cavalry of the Zhao army and roamed the surrounding grasslands. The remaining small part guards the tribe with tribesmen.

It can be said that I don't know if it is the two tribes, the other seven tribes are the same, their subordinates have been dismantled, and they have begun to be drawn and divided by the Zhao army. And here in Blue Capital City, because it is the main battlefield. As a result, the Dujin tribe and the Tumen tribe became the first two tribes to be weakened and annexed.

After seeing the strength of the Zhao army after having a city, seeing the powerful and sharp armor of the Zhao army, and seeing the earth-shaking thunder hidden in the shadows, the two town guards retreated.

Rights are good things, but they also have to be enjoyed by life, don't they?

Therefore, in fear and worry, the envoys of the Dujin tribe and the Tumen tribe slowly let go of their military power, and the major matters of defending the city were all handed over to Zhao Jun. And the two of them surrounded King Zhao all day long, expressing their loyalty to Zhao Xun. They knew that King Zhao and his soldiers were so relaxed, which meant that this blue capital city was as stable as Mount Tai. Then, relatively speaking, the Turkic army outside the city will naturally be unlucky.

Although it is the same race as the Turkic army outside the city, it is not so difficult to accept to become a Han people now. After all, under King Zhao, they can enjoy more and more comfort.

Outside the city, because there was no obstacle from the moat, the Turkic army could rush towards the blue capital city unimpeded. Because of this, the casualties of the Turkic army were reduced a lot. After all, there are three passages that can be passed, and the first three roads that are tens of zhang wide have become a thoroughfare.

However, this was not a very unfavorable situation for the defenders. The faster and more enemy troops come, the more enemy troops there will be under the walls. And the more powerful the archers and the oil is. Of course, the effect of the rain of arrows is much greater. Because of this, the defenders began to suffer casualties. The three soldiers of the defenders were good at shooting, but the tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city were also good at shooting. Under the walls, they could already return fire.

Seeing that he could suppress the defenders and that he could bring casualties to the Zhao army, Geely naturally ordered his generals to attack the right. The siege battle, which had been somewhat flattened for four days, entered a period of tragedy again.
