Chapter 58: The General is on Top and I Are Down (58)
The 200,000 Turkic army continued to attack desperately, and after a long time, the soldiers of Ling began to suffer a large number of casualties.
Although the effect of throwing the quilt with straw and gunpowder was significant, when any materials were used up, the Turkic soldiers, with the fire support of archers, had already begun to dig holes and climb the walls.
So Yun Du asked Ling's soldiers to shoot arrows down the city walls and use a lot of fire attacks. Not just torches, cloth, and firewood, but anything that could be lit was lit and thrown under the walls.
At the same time, Qi Rinzhi also thought of a rather immoral solution, he asked the soldiers to pull out all the long iron cables they could use, burn them red with fire, and then use them to throw them at the Turkic soldiers who climbed the wall below the city.
So, on the battlefield where the north wind was howling, the soldiers of the Ling State army were stationed on the wall, and the soldiers were holding dozens of hot red chains fluttering under the city, and wherever the iron locks were thrown, the screams of the Turkic soldiers appeared.
In the midst of the overwhelming fire, where there was nowhere to hide, the frenzied offensive of the Turkic soldiers was contained, and their corpses were piled up under the walls of the Turkic royal court, but they were never able to advance until dusk.
However, the battle is not over.
Enraged, Jelututsa gave a surprising order: night fighting.
Night fighting was not an advantage for the Turkic soldiers, but Yelututsa believed that the walls had now been badly damaged by their day's excavation, and that if they persevered and continued their attack, even with their hands, they could cut them open.
At that time, the walls of the Turkic royal court would completely collapse, and they would be able to attack the city on horseback, giving full play to the greater advantage of cavalry.
As Jerutucha had expected, he quickly waited for news of the collapse, but unfortunately the collapse of the Turkic soldiers.
After several desperate attacks, the Turkic soldiers discovered the cruel fact that their siege methods did not have the desired effect, but the casualties of the army were very large, and the corpses were more and more and thicker, and if they were all dead, it was possible to climb on the corpses.
After being beaten for a long time, it will break out, and after a long outbreak, it will collapse, and the Turkic soldiers, after rounds of fire, iron throwing, and arrow shooting, finally disobeyed Yelutucha's order and all retreated.
Yundui has always believed that there is no such thing as a desperate situation, only a desperate person.
The Turkic army, which had been storming for a day and a night, finally made a temporary truce.
Yun Dui's whole body was like being fished out of a pool of blood, and the wound was unaware that it was broken several times by her frequent sword swing to kill the enemy, and then stopped the bleeding again.
She has the skill of improving her physique, and even with injuries, her body still survives, but her mental exhaustion can't hide it.
Now that the Turkic army has temporarily withdrawn to rest, she also got down the city wall, disposed of the corpses of all the soldiers of Ling Guo who died in battle, and then reorganized the army, cooked food, and let everyone recuperate for a while.
The military doctor was too busy, so Yun Du took the wound medicine and bandaged cotton cloth directly from the military doctor, and took care of the wound on his abdomen by himself. She was afraid that the Turkic army would retreat on the surface and actually attack at night, so she stood at the city wall with the "Ling Xin" sword in her hand and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep for a while, so that she could rest.
The two sides tacitly rested for the night, and the next morning, when the morning dawned, the Turkic army once again sounded the drums of war and the horn of attack, and once again attacked the Turkic royal court.
Because the Turkic army summed up the characteristics of the soldiers of Ling State overnight, and the combustibles that the soldiers of Ling State could find were basically exhausted, the Turkic soldiers gathered and attacked more fiercely than before.
