Chapter 220: Capture of General Pei Luo

Li Siye didn't know the deployment made by the top level of the army, thinking that a brutal siege battle was about to begin, and as the captain of the Eighth Regiment of the Jumping Arms, General Jieshi gave an order, and he was about to lead everyone to prepare to fight in the city.

He has not participated in siege battles, but he has also watched TV series, and the attackers are simply filling it with human lives, don't look at him wearing the fine scale armor of the officer level in the Tang Army, and the enemy's spears and rolling stones on the city will also kill him.

This apprehension was accompanied by agitation, almost so excited that he could not sleep at night, but he could not show it in front of the soldiers. Anyway, he has also been a guard and capturer, and he has commanded a hundred-man brigade in skirmishes, how can he look like a rookie?

On the second day, there was no movement, the Chinese army set up camp on the hillside outside the city, and the baggage battalion of the rear army was cutting down trees, which should be used as siege equipment to prepare for the next battle.

On the fourth day, the army finally began to form a formation. The Tang Army, the Turk Cavalry Shi Hemo Division, Central Asia and other ** teams formed an inverted zigzag offensive formation. The ** teams of the Turks and Central Asia were in front of the flanks, and the Tang Army was in the center rear.

Looking down from the sky, the color of the phalanx of the Turk Gremo is mottled with brown and gray, which is the background color formed by leather armor and pointed felt hats, and the armies of Central Asia and other countries are especially very different in color, with leather armor, cloth armor, chain mail, and herdsmen wearing nettle clothes.

The Tang army's own formation showed a hexagonal six-flower array with an inner circle and an outer square, and Li Siye's Youyu Hou army was at the forefront of the battle array. Looking at the past from afar, there were only three color echelons in the Tang army, silver, gold and dark ink tones, and the armor of different arms was different, due to the front and back arrangement of the troops, showing a kind of uneven gradient.

In the Youyu Marquis army, the crossbowmen at the front and the archers at the rear, but they did not only assume the role of crossbowmen, but when they met on the frontal battlefield, they had to serve as the vanguard at the same time. Behind the crossbowmen are the jumpers and surprise soldiers.

Li Siye took off his shield from his horse, drew his horizontal knife, and his heart was pounding non-stop. The wall of General Peiluo, nearly two miles wide, stretched across his field of vision, and the weathered rammed earth city without edges and corners was covered with black banners with the surname of Tuqi Shihei. The soldiers hid behind the women's wall, and the knives and spears sticking out of the battlements were pointing outwards in line with the arrows of the bows and arrows.

Is it about to start, is the bloodshed of war coming?

The Chinese army in the rear suddenly sounded the sound of drums, Li Siye looked back, and there was an earthen platform where Liuxu was, and four people on the platform waved the quadripartite flags and issued military orders to the outer camps.

"Forward, go!"

Everyone strode forward, the formation slowly approaching the city wall, the drumming stopped, and the footsteps of the formation also stood still.

The Chinese army waved the flag again, and the front began to change formations, and the two flank phalanxes marched forward, side by side with the Youyu Hou Army, turning into a crane-like formation.

Hundreds of Fuyuan crossbows were carried up, which belonged to two people, and they could be adjusted on the ground, one with a crossbow on his feet, and a lever in both hands to wind with his waist, and one with arrows.

This is also the case with the tension of the crossbow used by individual soldiers, except that the crossbow is stamped on the ground and the hands are bent over to wind it. This is a very strenuous job, and it takes five stones of strength to pull the crossbow open, but compared to the advantage of the bow, it can mobilize the strength of the whole body, and it can be done without a strong man.

The single crossbow team is divided into four rows before and after, using the method of alternate firing, the front row buckles the strings and retreats to the rear to pull the crossbow on the winding, and the second row takes over the launch, and so on after the four rows and a round have been fired, the first row that has been loaded with arrows is lined up to the front again, although this rotation method does not have the special effect of dense locust pounce, but it is like a hail and arrow rain continuously, and any enemy will be frightened under the attack of this hail rain.

The crossbow convoy, which had belonged to the baggage troops, lined up at the end, firing the arrows with the thick arms of the children, and the rammed earth wall of women resembled tofu blocks in front of such powerful crossbows.

Standing next to the array, the escort officer saw the Chinese army's quadripartite flag waving, and the order flag in his hand was also waved down at the same time.

The crossbow arrows began to shoot at the city, and the dense number of arrows seemed to fall on the battlements for nothing, and they seemed to hear the screams of the horsemen behind the walls.

The black surnamed Tuqi Shi in the city also began sporadic counterattacks, but they deployed too few bed crossbows on the city, and occasionally sporadic arrows were fired, which could not deal an effective blow to the Tang army, and the range of the bow was far less than that of crossbow arrows, so they could only watch themselves being suppressed.

The formation of Hemoganda's troops continued to move forward, and the siege ladders that had been built in three days were transported to the front of the ranks. He Mo personally blew the yak horns, and a low whine sounded over the battlefield.

The Turgish rushed towards the city wall with a ladder cart, and let out an earth-shattering shout. Li Siye, who was standing in the rear watching the battle, was relieved and regretted at the same time, it seemed that he didn't need to appear as a Tang military captain.

The ballistas, whose accuracy was not guaranteed, stopped firing, but the heavy shafts they left on the walls became the best tools for the Turgish soldiers to climb. Fu Yuan's crossbow and Zhang's crossbow still threw arrows at the city, and the black-surnamed Tucai soldiers behind the city wall still didn't dare to show their heads.

When Hemobu began to climb the city wall, the battle between the two sides officially began, and the city began to throw stones down, and the thorny wooden pillars smashed down the ladder, and the first soldiers to climb the ladder fell with their heads bleeding.

The cruel side of the war showed its hideous face, just this rammed earth city wall caused a large number of soldiers to be killed and wounded, the swords of both sides were added, and the Turks shot each other up and down with curved bows, and for a time it was impossible to see who had the upper hand.

The fierce battle between the two sides reached the afternoon, Mo He Dagan opened a reward of fifty taels of gold and thirty yaks, and a group of heavy armor of the Turk soldiers began to attack the city wall.

In Li Siye's sight, a man with a figure like a bear attacked the city under the cover of six or seven subordinates. The weapon in this person's hand is also different from ordinary people, it is a long straight knife that is much wider than the horizontal knife, and the weight is a few catties heavier than other knives.

He Mo excitedly shouted excitedly below, "Sonadus, good job! The bounty is all for you, and you will be promoted to be the tun chief! ”

"The people in the back! Hurry up and keep up! ”

The Turgish soldiers followed the road opened up by Sonadu, and a steady stream of them poured into the city, and there was no suspense in this offensive and defensive battle.

The adobe city wall of General Peiluo's city was originally not conducive to defense, and the female wall battlements were seriously damaged, and the city wall was only nearly three zhang high. Li Siye saw with his own eyes that some soldiers fell from the ladder, but they were still able to turn over and climb to fight.

"All go to the gates of the city!"

He Mo Dagan twitched his horsewhip and ordered, and the troops who did not participate in the siege rushed to the city gate, the black flags on the city were pulled down one by one, the city gate was opened inside, and the soldiers of Hemo poured into the city like a tide.

From beginning to end, the Tang army had been watching the battle from a distance, and it seemed that they were not looking down on the fruits of such a victory.

The siege battle finally came to an end, and the strong man Sona dragged out with a rope leading a guy tied into a dumpling, and he strode in front of him, and the other party staggered behind.

Sona walked up to Hemoma, knelt down on one knee and hugged his chest and said loudly, "Fortunately, Sona has captured Nahanda alive!" ”

He Mo turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to help Sonadhu up, and said happily: "Sonadu, your merits, only the head of the tun is not enough to commend you. In the past, Zaqilie, the first warrior of our Turf Cavalry, was wounded by an unknown man when he was fighting in Chang'an, and then died of shame. The title of the first warrior is vacant, and now you are brave enough to be the first warrior of the Turk! ”

Sonadu hurriedly knelt down excitedly: "Thank you Khan for giving me the highest honor." ”

Li Siye stood in the military formation of the Tang Army, he didn't hear what He Mo Dagan and the others were saying in front of him, he only faintly heard the first warrior of Tuqishi, how could he feel so familiar?
