Boom! Boom! Boom!

The hurried war drums sounded, and the Tang sergeants in the front row raised their shields and sped up.

And the trebuchet and bed crossbow behind him were the first to vent a wave of stone projectiles and arrows to the Zhao army at the head of the city.

The boulder volleying over the head of the Tang soldier's soldier roared past, and several shots hit the wooden wall of the Zhao army, piercing the gaps one by one. And the arrows of Zhao Jun on the board wall also came in the air, descending on the earth like dense flying locusts.

The arrows were inserted in rows on the ground at an arc of thirty and forty-five degrees, and the leather boots of the Tang sergeants almost stepped on the broken arrows. Behind the wooden wall, the Zhao army was also on guard against the Tang army's stone throwings, and they erected a curtain made of multiple layers of cooked cowhide to block the trebuchet's damage to the city wall.

Wang Mahan, who was observing the overall situation from the lookout, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, Li Shimin has a catapult machine crossbow, and Lao Tzu doesn't have it?" Pass on Lao Tzu's order to me to fight back, fight back! ”

The soldiers in the village of Zhao ripped off the tarpaulin covering the trebuchet, loaded the stone bullets, and shot them out towards the Tang soldiers.

The bed crossbows on the city walls also showed hideous fangs.

Arrows and stone bullets also covered the heads of the Tang army, and they had no shelter from the wall, so they could only block it with the shield in their hands. However, the stone projectiles of Zhao Jun's eight-pronged cannons were all tens of catties larger, or even hundreds of catties.

When the boulder smashed in the air in this way touched the shield, some of the stones fell and scattered, the soldier broke his arm and broke, and almost even the man with the shield was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood.

Screams came and went, the sound of clattering shields falling apart, the cracking of bones. Loud and loud.

The arrows of the bed crossbow are like those of a farmer plowing a field. Tearing apart the formation of the Tang army. The shield has no effect in front of the bed crossbow.

The black pressed piece, and the Tang sergeant swarmed. It was constantly hit by stone bullets and arrows, but it was instantly filled by the Tang army pressed in the rear.

For the eldest grandson Wuji, who has the advantage of troops, he doesn't care about this loss at all.

They were already approaching the first trench dug by the Zhao army, and the Tang soldiers had not reconnoitred before, but now they gasped when they arrived in front of them. Zhao Jun built this trench too deep.

The Tang generals made a visual inspection, and could only use the ladder to climb the wall in advance, sticking into the bottom of the trench, and after the Tang soldiers climbed down from above, they propped up another ladder to climb up. This entry and exit consumed a large amount of the body of the heavily armored Tang army. After the Tang soldiers had easily crossed the first trench, they encountered a second trench, which was even deeper than the first trench.

In the camp of the Zhao army, the 50,000 civilian servants who had originally built trenches and excavated fortifications were carrying out the work of saving the dead and helping the wounded. They transported arrows to the front line and carried the wounded soldiers from the arrows one by one to the rear for treatment.

The Tang army was already approaching the board wall, and the wall was densely filled with arrows. There were also a few openings that had been blasted open by trebuchets.

Sergeant Zhao stood on the wall, shot the crossbow with his foot, and then fired freely. On the side, the generals of the Zhao army roared loudly, and teams of pikemen lined up in a dense spear formation on the board wall.

The bright armor on these pikemen was very eye-catching, provoking waves of arrows from the Tang army. But they were waiting to gather around the crossbowmen, and their armor was full of arrows fired by the Tang army.

Under the board wall, Tang Jun had already arrived with a ladder. Bamboo ladders climbed the wall. The elite soldiers of the Tang Army immediately carried broadswords and spears to climb the wall.

'Kill! 'Sergeant Zhao behind the board wall shouted in unison!

Countless spears wrapped in red cherry blossoms poked out of the battlements of the city wall. And the Tang army under the city is not unprepared, they will have a short axe in their hands. Thrown onto the city wall to destroy the Zhao army's gun array, many Zhao soldiers fell with axes on their heads, but the same dozens of Tang soldiers fell from the city wall with their chests covered.

Bloody hand-to-hand combat, there is not the slightest flattery, and both armies are fighting with human lives for human lives. At several passes where stones were thrown, soldiers on both sides fought each other with shields and knives, and blood flowed and drifted.

The two sergeants gasped for breath and fought each other against the city wall, unable to retreat a single step. They looked at each other, and even the sound of breathing was clearly audible.

The soldiers who fought in front were driven forward by the soldiers behind them, and the two armies were red-eyed, and the loser fell to the ground with a knife and gun, and then was pulled out by his partner, and the people behind continued to make up for it.

The Tang army was crowded under the board wall, more and more soldiers rushed in, and the bed crossbow had long stopped shooting. Only the trebuchet was still projecting in depth, trying to suppress Zhao Jun's trebuchet and bed crossbow.

On the right flank, the Turkic infantry finally filled in the trench in front of the board wall, cleared the ground of the horse guns, and the thistle terrestris, at the cost of 2,000 casualties. The fallen Turkic soldiers fell to the ground and were dragged down one by one.

A fire was lit in the rear, where several Zoroastrian priests danced and prayed for victory.

Tongye Hu Khan stared at the battlefield in front of him expressionlessly.

'Khan, the position of the Zhao army makes it impossible for our cavalry to give full play to their advantage! ‘

Listening to the complaints of his subordinates, Tong Yehu nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as we can break through that wall, our cavalry can storm the camp." ‘

But how do you break it? ‘

Tong Ye Hu said coldly: "Of course I burned him. ‘

After the second column of Turkic troops poured up, they surprisingly did not climb the city, but everyone carried wooden barrels on their shoulders and advanced under the blows of the arrows of the Zhao army.

Wei Chigong didn't know why, but wondered why the Turkic army had thrown the barrel under the city wall.

At this time, several arrows shot through the barrel, but black goo flowed from it.

'It's fire oil!' Damn it! Wei Chigong saw it at a glance.

It is no secret that Zhao Jun likes to use oil bombs produced in the Western Regions, and the Turks in the Western Regions know how to use them.

But they threw the oil barrels behind the city walls, and then shot them at the barrels with arrows carrying the fire. Then the infantry phalanx on the left and right retreated far back.

When Wei Chi Jingde saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Quickly, quickly withdraw from here, the oil will explode soon." ‘

After listening to Wei Chi Jingde's order, Sergeant Zhao immediately evacuated this section of the board wall.

It was only a moment later, but when I heard a loud bang, the fire at the place where Zhao Jun's board wall burned. The wall was exploding, either burning or blown away.

Tong Ye Hu looked at it, pulled out his sword, pointed forward and shouted, "Warriors, where are you? ‘

Behind him, 10,000 Turkic iron horsemen raised the scimitars in their hands and responded in a loud voice.

'Kill them all, plunder all their money, and make their women your slaves!' ‘

'Kill! ‘

10,000 Turkic iron horsemen, urging their mounts, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the battlefield, and the ground trembled slightly.

The air distorted the vision in the burning, and a puff of black smoke rose everywhere, and through the burning remains of the city wall, the Zhao army's camp was stripped of its strongest armor, and behind the shattered slab wall, the Zhao army's foot soldiers could be seen hastily regrouping behind the city wall.

The black-pressed Turkic cavalry urged the war horses and killed the phalanx of the Zhao army's infantry soldiers who were in array.

It was too late for them to see that the horses had scurried through the filled trenches and through the smoking wreckage of the walls.

The manic horn sounded the entire battlefield at this time, the Turkic cavalry roared, and more than 40,000 horses' hooves urged the ground, and in the face of the pressure of the cavalry, everyone only felt dizzy.

Seeing that the beating horse's head filled the entire field of vision, a sneer appeared on Wei Chigong's face.

Bang bang bang!

The first Turkic cavalry that broke through the city wall suddenly turned on their backs, and the second row of Turkic cavalry in the rear didn't know what was going on, and wanted to stop the horses, but they couldn't stop.

'Yes, trench! ‘

The Han Chinese dug a trench behind the city walls! ‘

'Despicable Han people, ah! ‘

Wei Chi Jingde couldn't help laughing when he saw the scene of the Turkic cavalrymen turning over on their backs.

After the Turkic cavalry filled the trench, the Turkic cavalry that then rushed up was met with thistles on the ground.

'Retreat! 'Tong Ye Hu's liver was about to explode at this moment, and such a terrifying cavalry assault became a joke in Zhao Jun's eyes.

The Turkic cavalry heard the order to retreat and hurriedly turned their horses.

'If you want to go, no way, let go of the arrows!' 'Wei Chi Jingde roared angrily,

The Turkic cavalry, which retreated in a hurry, was attacked by the Zhao army's arrow rain, and the stone throwing machine was also launched, and the stone projectiles smashed at the Turkic cavalry.

In front of the city wall, the corpses of the Turkic cavalry suddenly piled up.

'What? ‘

Tong Yehu only saw clearly at this time that behind the Zhao army, there was a second board wall. (To be continued......)
