220 Loyal bones are buried everywhere
At the same time as falling rocks smashed into the city and Yu Gao knelt down under the horse, the attack and defense of the city did not stop for half a minute, and the slaves under the city tried to flee backwards, and they were all shot and killed on the spot by the archers in the cavalry of the Taiqige Division. Dozens of corpses that had been pierced by an arrow lay on the ground, cutting off all slave warriors from retreating. The ants with the climbing equipment were attached to the city, and the people under the city tried to dig a hole in the city wall with all the tools at hand, protected by cowhide shields.
However, such a shield can block the arrows of the two stone bows in the city, but it cannot stop the falling rocks and rolling wood, and the material of the densely seamed cowhide is also very easy to ignite in terms of fire oil.
Every moment, the slave warriors of the Taiqige Department are dying, and even the cavalry generals of the Taiqige Division, who are pressing behind them, can't stand it, and lead the cavalry under his command who are good at shooting horses back and forth under the city to shoot at the city. This was originally advantageous for the soldiers of Dayao in the city who had a battlement hole, but the cavalry who shot at the bottom of the city all practiced archery skills from a young age shooting hares and gophers, and even on the back of a bumpy horse, they could shoot arrows accurately into the city, but they could just stretch out an arm into the hole.
"Who sent these people out? None of them should be lost here. Suddenly, when he saw the situation of flying arrows in and out of the city, he was furious and said, "Just ignore the lord's order as if it were nothing?!"
Although they were shooting back and forth with the soldiers of Dayao in the city, these unprotected cavalry could not get the slightest benefit no matter what. However, the archers of the Jinju state army on the city did not seem to have expected the barbarians to dare to shoot at the city, and the suppression of the rain of arrows on the city was something that neither side expected, and it was possible to throw falling rocks and canisters of fire oil from the battlements without poking their heads out.
No matter how brave the slave warriors were, few of them could climb to the top of the city, so the iron cones made by the craftsmen of the Taiqi Gebu could not bear the weight of the repeated use, and gradually began to break, and the slaves under the city did not suspect that in another half an hour they would have to pick the bricks with their fingers to go up to the city, which was pure death.
The cavalry general of the Taiqige Department had red eyes, so he ordered to put on his horse and ride his horse to hit the city gate, and even if he did, he would knock the city open. However, the Dun Companion, who was hurrying with more than a dozen horsemen, stopped in front of his horse, and the warriors on the horse also dismounted and captured the cavalry general from his horse.
"Even slaves shouldn't die like this!" More than a dozen martial artists shielded their companions and generals, and the generals who were pressed down under the shield pointed at the slave warriors who were still trying to attach themselves to the city and roared, "They are also from our Taiqige Department, should they be targets for the Yao people in the city like this?"
Companion Dang knew that this general had always been a person who had pity for the slaves in his tent, and he had always been the backbone of the faction that supported the lord to form a slave warrior team, and the strong and healthy slaves in his tent were selected and sent to the slave warrior team for training.
The nobles of the ministry laughed at him, and although the slaves were like cattle and horses in the eyes of these people, they were considered their own things in their own tents, and who would be willing to give away their own things? Moreover, he was not a figure in the ranks of the nobles, and it was not wise to waste his family business in this way.
Even in his faction, he was a die-hard figure, and his stubbornness was richly rewarded after the slave warriors swept through the surrounding tribes of the Taiqig tribe, and the general, who was originally no more than a centurion, was able to lead a cavalry army of a thousand men in a majestic manner, which was a little reward for these followers.
What he did today was already contrary to the general of the cavalry army's perception of him, and in his eyes, the lord of the Taiqige tribe who was decisive in killing should not be the one who treated human life like a mustard like today!
"Thousands of people are dead, and a few of them can climb the city!" The general, whose cheek was cut by a stray arrow, struggled to his feet, pulled out an arrow that was still stuck in his breastplate and threw it to the ground, and blood suddenly oozed from the hole on the armor, "This kind of armor is the best! It can't stop the arrows of those archers in the city, let alone the rags on these people!"
"Lord, Lord!" he waved his hand vigorously in the direction of the north, "Is this the future of the Taiqige tribe that the sovereign wants? Behold, my lord, the future of the Taiqige tribe has been almost cut off under this wall!
"Go back to our grassland! The Taiqige tribe will still be the strongest tribe on the grassland, and it won't be long before the entire grassland belongs to our Taiqige tribe!" he shouted hoarsely, "Withdraw! Withdraw! Our years of hard work should not be buried like this..."
Suddenly he couldn't make a sound, his chest was empty, and he looked down at the place that had been his chest and now it was a hollow, and he didn't understand what it was, and then he threw himself forward, and everything was dark and dark.
The movement of more than ten horsemen seemed clear in the city, and more than ten horsemen dismounted and used shields to protect the barbarian who was obviously a general, and the old soldiers who fiddled with the bed crossbow in the city did not hesitate to pay a huge arrow worth a dozen taels of silver in exchange for the barbarian's life. The orientation of the giant arrows used in each bed crossbow in the city has to be reported to the city guard yamen, which is a headache for these old soldiers, so they are cautious when fiddling with these giant arrows.
The arrow pierced a shield before piercing the cavalry commander of the Taiqige Division, and also tore off half of the body of one of the Taiqige Warriors, and finally pierced the chest, and the back half of the arrow shaft still went deep into the ground. Suddenly's companions did not care about his body, and took out Tonmao's warrant to order the cavalry to withdraw and run into battle. Also abandoned were nearly 300 horsemen who were lying on the ground and could no longer ride their horses and bow their bows.
And the situation on the round city was not much better, these cavalry bows and arrows penetrated through the holes, and most of them were the throats of the archers in the city, and many of them did not wait for the medical officer to come and see them, and the corpses did not have time to carry them down the city, so they tore a piece of white cloth and covered them, and if anyone walked through this wall at this moment, they would not have to smell the heavy urine. Many of the soldiers who had been in town for a few months had been scared to pee their pants and kicked aside by the old soldiers, who would not become combat force for a few days, and would gradually become numb to their movements when they saw too much.
I have to say that those slave warriors under the city are much more brave and good at fighting than the soldiers of Jinzhou Prefecture in the city, and they can still maintain such combat power after two or three out of ten casualties.
"A soldier is like a dog and a sheep, even if it will be like a dragon, it will definitely not be a division of tigers and wolves. The chaos in the city was in full view, Song Zhiwen shook his head and said, "The alternate hundred-man team went to the city to clean up the corpses, and the cowardly soldiers gathered to form a formation to register and make a book, now is the time to employ people, those who are really afraid of war will be punished as deserters, and when the battle is over, they can be punished for vain or hard labor, but I don't want to see someone die under the sword of his own people." โ
Song Zhiwen knew that at present, among the more than 10,000 Jinzhou state troops in Yuancheng, except for half of the veterans of the original Nanda Battalion and the Dongda Battalion, only one of the remaining five people who were willing to join the army did so, and the rest were either coerced and lured by local officials to join the army or were forcibly recruited.
The graves of the dead soldiers in this spring are still there, and how can people be willing to join the army.
The rivers and mountains buried the bones of the loyal everywhere, and the good sons and daughters fed by the land of Jinju threw away their heads and shed blood for the ambition of Dayao and the emperor's northern expedition. In Song Zhiwen's opinion, even if none of the people of Jinzhou were willing to join the army, it was not surprising to him, after his predecessor took Jinzhou Erlang to protect his position in front of Emperor Dayao.
The imperial court has a negative Jinju, and the Jinju general has a negative Jinju son.
Song Zhiwen still couldn't figure out what kind of means the lord of the Taiqige tribe under the city would have to break through the towering and solid walls of the city, if it was to break the city gate, the slaves had already tried, but when they found that the short blade in their hands could only leave a faint white mark on the solid wood gate covered with copper skin, the slave warriors gave up this plan and chose to continue to climb the city wall with such a rough iron cone, and the people who raised the shield under the city used their strength to dig the city, and the bricks of the city were so solid that they could break the shoddy awl in their handsใ
Song Zhiwen didn't make any response, and with Yuancheng's current military configuration, even the movement of a hundred-man team would be reversed. Responding to change with the same is a means that only the strongest in the army and when there is nothing to be done, there is no better way, he knows that there is a crisis approaching but does not know where it comes from.
Some of the slave warriors broke down, shouted and fled to the city, and even if they were lucky enough not to be shot by the Dayao soldiers in the city, the bows and arrows of the Taiqige cavalry would not let them go, and all they had to choose was to die under whose arrows.
The people around Dunmao were expecting the lord of the Taiqige tribe to react even a little bit of withdrawal, but there was not even the slightest clue, and the expressions of Dunmao Nest and Rad were as hard as iron and stone as his heart.
He was waiting, waiting for the gift that Yu Gaogao gave him to be opened by the people of the Taiqi Ge Department, he could imagine that the process of untying the rope on this gift was complicated, but he had no doubts that the Yuan Cheng would eventually be a gift from Yu Gao Gao, after all, Yu Gao Gao told him how to open the hard shell of the gift of the Yuan City, this method was so simple that he even wondered if he was lying, but at this moment, this cowardly Yao man had been tamed like a loyal dog.
Just wait, the deaths and injuries of the slave warriors in the city are only a small price to pay for opening this gift, and Dun Mao will not back down because of these small costs.
