'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! In the sound of the earth-shattering drums of thousands of drums beating at the same time, the cavalry phalanx of 10,000 people surrounded Xue Yantuo's Khan Yi lost bowl and slowly crossed the Yellow River.

In front of the 10,000 cavalry phalanx and on both sides of the rear are distributed four pieces of cavalry of 10,000 people, the black pressure of the army is boundless, stretching for ten miles, there are 10,000 logistics troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, this attack on Dali City, B lost the bowl and placed a bet of 100,000 troops, he wants to destroy Dali City in one fell swoop, to defeat the myth of the Sui army to boost the morale of Xue Yantuo's army, and then turn around and go to Jinshan to meet the Qi army.

Yi lost the bowl riding on a tall steed war horse, his eyes stared coldly at the Sui army's Linhe fort that had been razed to the ground a mile away in the distance, looking at the broken stones on the hills, he had in his mind the situation of the fall of Dali City, the fire was soaring, the soldiers and civilians all over the ground knelt in front of his horse and begged for mercy, his soldiers mercilessly cut off the heads of these Han people, and Yang Yuanqing's head was tied to the neck of his war horse.

This incomparably tempting and longing scene is about to appear, he can't wait a little, at this time, he is not just to avenge his son, he wants to level this city, to let the people understand that Xue Yantuo is not afraid of the powerful Sui Dynasty, boost morale, and go all out to meet their mortal enemy.

The banner of the golden wolf's head above his head fluttered in the wind, and behind him were more than a dozen Xue Yantuo commanders, and next to him was the newly established Xue Yantuo Khan's heir, Sha Lu Hunt, a fierce young man like a leopard, who was known for his courage in Xue Yantuo.

He stared at the direction of Dali City with a cold gaze like a leopard, and shouted fiercely: "Khan! Give me three days and watch me raze the city of Dali! ”

"Good! I appoint you as the chief general, and in three days I will take the city of Dali. ”

Yi lost the bowl and handed over the Khan's golden arrow to Shalu Hunt, he took one last look at the direction of Dali City, and said lightly: "Take the city, no chickens and dogs will be left!" ”

He turned around and walked away, watching the Khan go away, and Shalu Hunt immediately raised the Khan's golden arrow and hissed and shouted, "The whole army is dispatched and marches towards Dali City!" ”

The army of 80,000 marched towards Dali City, thousands of big drums beat the drums like thunder, which could be heard dozens of miles away, and the 80,000 army was murderous, followed by hundreds of ladders and nest carts and trebuchets in the dense army, Xue Yantuo's army struggled to push them forward, and swept away towards Dali City twenty miles away with an unstoppable murderous aura.

The outer city wall of Dali is waving flags, 2,000 Sui troops stand in line at the head of the city, he is dressed in bright light armor, wearing an eagle helmet, holding a bow and arrows, all of them have resolute eyes, fifty huge trebuchets stand like fifty giants at the head of the city.

Yang Yuanqing stood on the battlements, staring at Xue Yantuo's army that was slowly moving in the distance, and a black line about five miles long appeared on the snowfield more than ten miles away, and the sound of drums came from the black line.

Xue Yantuo's army is not fast, they are not here for a cavalry decisive battle, but for siege warfare, this is not what Xue Yantuo people are good at, especially in early spring, the general grassland people will not choose to fight at this time, spring is the season for livestock to give birth, the soldiers are easy to feel homesick, the army is unstable, and the war horses are not strong after a winter, but Xue Yantuo has to choose this time to fight, and in another ten days, the Yellow River will begin to thaw their army will not be able to cross the Yellow River.

"General, look over there!"

A soldier pointed to the east and shouted, Yang Yuanqing leaned over and looked east, only to see a knight in a white cloak rushing along the moat towards the city gate.

"It's a deed!"

Yang Yuanqing recognized the white cloak on the knight's body, and he immediately ordered, "Kaecheng let him in."

More than 100 soldiers twisted the chains, the city gate slowly opened, the knight rushed into the city, the gate closed again, the knight entered the inner city again, a moment, the knight was taken to the outer city by the soldiers, Yang Yuanqing found that there was a falcon on his shoulder.

The knight stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said in Turkic: "Amo see General Yang!" ”

"I've seen you, we used to fight together."

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly: "What kind of good news did you bring me?" ”

"I am the eagle slave of His Royal Highness the Prince, and this eagle will pass the news between Dali City and the Qi, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has led an army of 50,000 to Yinshan."

"Good! I look forward to good news from you. ”

The news of the deed lifted Yang Yuanqing's spirits, looking at the boundless Xue Yantuo army in the distance, a kind of pride and ambition surged in his heart, this battle, he will completely annihilate the grassland people's ambition for Fengzhou.

Xue Yantuo's army stopped five miles away from the city of Dali, the drums stopped, and the 80,000 army began to set up camps, and soon, thousands of camps appeared outside the city, and the lord of Xue Yantuo rode Shalu out of the camp on horseback, and looked at the city that had left their khan in shame for several miles, and the walls shone in white light in the sun, which was covered with a thick layer of ice.

Shalu hunting is fierce and cruel, but he is very good at fighting, this fortified city makes him secretly surprised, in his impression, the cities on the border of the Sui Dynasty are low and dilapidated, but this castle is so tall and strong, he secretly regrets it in his heart, three days, he said too much.

"Ye Hu, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat this castle in three days." A captain of ten thousand was beside him, worried.

"If you can't beat it, you have to fight!"

Shalu Hunter gritted his teeth, if he couldn't take it within three days, his position as the heir of the Khan would be in danger, "No matter what, it must be taken within three days!" Ordered the Yantuo Department to go first. ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! , The earth-shattering drum sounded again, and the army of 15,000 Xue Yantuo poured out like a tide, surrounding more than 100 siege ladders, and killed Dali City.

This is the Yantuo Department in Xue Yantuo, and the 20,000 people who were completely wiped out in the Battle of Lake Harry are also Yantuo Division, which has a low status in Xue Yantuo, and they are the first to take the lead in this dangerous war.

Hundreds of ladders lined up, vigorously driving to the city of Dali five miles away, 15,000 soldiers dressed in leather armor, holding shields and spears, shouting to kill the sky, war finally broke out in this cold early spring.

On the outer city wall, in the open space between the inner city and the outer city, 8,000 Sui soldiers and 10,000 craftsmen stood in formation, looking up at the high Shuangcheng suspension bridge, listening to the pre-war mobilization of the main general Yang Yuanqing

Yang Yuanqing was fully armored, wearing an eagle prismatic helmet, holding a sky-breaking lance, standing on the suspension bridge between the two cities, like a god descending to earth.

He raised the Panying sword high and shouted to the army: "This is the sword of the Son of Heaven, the sword given to Dali City by His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui, the beacon fire has been transmitted to Xijing, and the saint is paying attention to the Dali City, and the 50 million pairs of eyes in the world are also paying attention to the Dali City, brothers, today we are not fighting for individuals, nor for the city, but for the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, and fighting for the dignity of the Great Sui Empire, even if there is only one person left in the end, the Great Li City must not fall!" ”

In the rumbling war drums from outside the city, the blood of the eight thousand soldiers boiled, and they raised their spears and shouted with all their might: "Fight for the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui!" Fight for the Great Sui Empire! ”

The shouting shook the whole city, and even more than 10,000 people in the inner city were infected, followed by the shout, Yang Yuanqing waved his long lance and shouted: "The enemy has arrived, the soldiers have returned to their positions to disobey the military order, and those who shake the hearts of the army will be killed immediately!" ”

The soldiers left one after another and ran to their respective positions, 6,000 Sui troops and 10,000 stonemasons rushed into the inner city, to go to the outer city wall can only enter the inner city, through the iron chain suspension bridge between the inner and outer cities, the inner city gate was suddenly closed, the inner city gate is made of cast iron, strong and abnormal, the outer city gate is two feet eight feet high, only to open the city gate needs 100 people.

Yang Yuanqing walked quickly to the outer city wall, and said to Yang Sien as he walked: "The army should not be all on the enemy's army, and they will test it first, and we will only use 3,000 troops first, and the rest of the army will stay in the inner city for the time being, and wait for my order before investing." ”

"The last general understands!"

"And!"

Yang Yuanqing stopped Yang Sien again, "Go to the soldiers and spread the news that 20,000 reinforcements from Lingzhou have arrived in Fengzhou, and they will come to our aid soon." ”

"Yes!" Yang Sien turned and left.

At the head of the city, three thousand Sui troops and five thousand artisan troops stood on the head of the city, the Sui army looked cold, raised their bows and arrows together, but the five thousand artisan army was a little frightened, and the overwhelming Xue Yantuo army outside the city made each of them tremble.

But the war had broken out, and they were duty-bound to go into battle, and the artisan army was in charge of pulling the trebuchet, which was about two feet high, with a stone pocket hanging behind a long arm, and was pulled by one hundred and fifty men, and could throw dozens of pounds of boulders four or five hundred paces away.

Yang Yuanqing's eyes were coldly watching as the black pressure pressed the enemy army and rushed up, and the ladders were full of Xue Yantuo soldiers who were ready to attack the city, the enemy army had already entered within three hundred steps, Yang Yuanqing waved his long knife, and gave an order, "Launch!" ”

The drums of Dali City were loud, and thirty trebuchets started at the same time, and their long arms swung out, throwing the boulders weighing eighty or ninety catties into the air, and dozens of boulders spun in the air, roaring and smashing towards the dense crowd, 'Boom! , the boulder fell, rolled in the crowd, the red snow foam rose into the air, more than a dozen people were smashed into the flesh and blood, miserable, one after another boulders smashed into the crowd, one after another screams.

'Click! , a ladder was hit, the ladder was broken into several pieces, dozens of people who climbed on the ladder fell down one after another, the dense boulders smashed to the ladder, the ladder of Xue Yantuo's army was simple and rough, they were built with the Turks, and the Turks did not learn the subtlety of the ladder, the Han people made exquisite hinges and wedges they could not learn, only its shape without its god, a little damage can not move forward, just a hundred steps, there are nearly half of the ladder smashed by the boulder, but there are still more than 50 ladders gradually approaching the city wall.

In the sky, a huge stone was rolling, whistling and smashing to the ground, in a short period of time, the trebuchet launched four rounds, more than a hundred boulders smashed into the enemy group, causing more than 2,000 casualties, but Xue Shutuo's army did not stop, they rushed into the range of bows and arrows.

The arrows of the Sui army on the city are like rain, 3,000 arrows are intensively shot at the enemy, the arrows are used to defend the city, they are longer and heavier than the cavalry arrows, they shoot down from a high place, they will shoot at the enemy with their own weight, and the lethality is extremely strong.

Xue Yantuo army raised a shield to greet each other, Xue Yantuo has two kinds of shields, one is a wooden shield covered with cowhide, strong and strong, used by the Xue tribe, and the other is a simple wooden shield, the wooden board is thinner, used by other small tribes and Yantuo who are attached to Xue Yantuo, this kind of shield can only withstand the bow and arrow on the grassland, can not resist the crossbow arrows of the Sui army, and can not resist the heavy arrows, but many soldiers themselves covered the shield with several layers of raw cowhide, barely withstood the shooting of the arrows, but there are still many shields that are shot through by the arrows, and the enemy behind the shield is shot to death, Patches of soldiers screamed and fell.

A ladder approached the city wall, hundreds of soldiers jerked the rope backwards, and a ladder six or seven feet high was pulled up, and dozens of soldiers were attached to the ladder.

'Boom! , a loud bang, broken ice splashed, the first ladder on the city, followed by more than 30 ladders on the city, thousands of Xue Yantuo soldiers rushed up like an ant colony, with a knife, with a spear stab, with an arrow shooting, desperately rushed to the city, the city arrows like dense rain, rolling wood and stone like hail smashed down, the knife split spear stab, flesh and blood flying, the Sui soldiers with a long fork fork fork the ladder to push outward, a long ladder was pushed out, turned backwards down, the ladder sound was a terrible cry.

The Xue Yantuo army under the city began to counterattack, and the arrows rained down on the city, shooting at the head of the city, and the soldiers and craftsmen of the Sui army were constantly shot, screaming and falling from the city, and the casualties gradually increased.

At this time, the dull drum beat of Xue Yantuo's army sounded again, and another 30,000 Xue Yantuo troops entered the battle, the towering nest car appeared, the red flag flew in the city, and the main general Yang Yuanqing issued an order to increase the troops, and there were also 3,000 Sui troops and 3,000 craftsmen in the inner city were sent to the outer city to join the fierce battle.

The war entered the white heat, and a sturdy falcon soared into the air in the shadow of a sword and spear, and flew towards the distant Yin Mountain in the north.
