Chapter 236: The Horror of the City Wall
From the direction of the Khan's tent came a procession, all dressed in black cloaks, with iron and armor on their chests, crooked knives on their waists, and long whips in their hands. The first half of the man's head is bald, and only the second half of his head is tied into three braids and hangs down on his chest, in order to show that he has black hair and is healthy.
The Black Cloaks formed a long line through the streets, an overseer of the Erwei Khan's personal guards, driving away the cowards who were hiding in their houses.
Li Siye's team was too conspicuous, and was discovered by the pro-protection army supervision team, and the half-bald man waved a long whip at them and scolded angrily: "You stinky rats! The thing that wilts the donkey with! Get out of the way to the walls,! Get out, I really want to cut off your heads with a quick knife! ”
Giza nodded and dragged Li Siye to the city wall, and explained to him in a low voice: "This is the governor sent by the Khan, who is in charge of supervising the war and has the power of life and death, we must not annoy him, go to the city wall quickly!" ”
Li Siye and his party ran towards the city wall under the whipping of the leather whips of the pro-protection army, like a herd of driven sheep, and there were many stragglers in the distance who were driven out of their homes by the warlords.
No wonder Erwei Khan didn't dare to use the flexibility of the cavalry to go out of the city to fight the Tang army, and it was no wonder that such a strong team could fight.
They poured into the walls in the crowd, and the Warlords whipped them away. After the people climbed the city wall, they scattered at the battlements of the women's wall.
Li Siye stood behind the women's wall, overlooking the Tang Army's Liuhua Array and the Bahanna Army Phalanx on the long slope below, the formation was strict and orderly, the momentum was magnificent, the drum platform and the big tent of the Chinese army were in the center, and the rumbling drum was like a muffled thunder on the horizon, giving people a sense of oppression that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. After a while, the Tang army began to fire crossbow arrows again, and the Turgish soldiers on the city wall also began to shoot arrows and return fire.
Li Siye untied the longbow from behind his back, held the arrow in his hand, and turned back from time to time to see if there was a team behind him. If anyone pays attention, open the bow slightly and shoot the arrow, so that the control power will not fall into the Tang army's camp.
Bai Xiaode, who was standing beside him, also took out a longbow from the ground, he was not good at doing this kind of errand, he only held the bowstring in vain, but he looked too confused.
The warlord's Piba Tutun whipped a sharp long whip, leaving bloody whip marks on Bai Xiaode's cheeks, which made him gasp in pain, and the nameless fire in his heart couldn't help but go straight up, turned around suddenly, and grabbed the scimitar handle on his waist with his right hand.
"Dog thing! What to see! Dare to fool me! ”
Bai Xiaode wanted to draw a knife from his waist, but Li Siye reached out and pressed his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, don't be impulsive." ”
Giza hurriedly knelt down on one knee and explained to Piba Tutun: "Tutun, we are in charge of guarding the baggage and herdsmen, and we have never been on the battlefield. ”
Pi Ba Tutun sneered cruelly: "Haven't you seen the siege? When the Tang army ascends to the top of the city and cuts off your head, you will really see it! ”
He suppressed the anger of splitting the other party in half, retracted his steps stupidly, took out a longbow and arrows and shot arrows at the city according to Li Siye's appearance, control his strength not to shoot people, and dodge the flying arrows.
The two attacks of the Tang army were all feints, and after retreating, they continued to shoot crossbow arrows at the city wall, and more than 20 of them were the top of the city, always worried about being shot by their own arrows.
Soldiers were constantly being pierced by arrows, and some people stepped forward and carried them down. Piba Tutun's face turned pale with fright, and he stayed away from this section of the city wall.
Bai Xiaode shifted his gaze and stared at Pi Ba Tutun's back. Li Siye relaxed slightly, squatted lazily under the female wall, turned his head to see Bai Xiaode's eyes, and asked him, "What are you looking at?" ”
"What kind of Tutun, I'm going to write down his appearance, and when the city is broken tonight, I'll go to take revenge."
has a strong sense of revenge, however, Li Siye agrees very much, as long as it does not affect the battle situation, it doesn't matter if he peels Piba Tutun.
The Tang Army's similar arrow strikes came almost every hour, which made the soldiers suddenly tense up again after they relaxed. This allowed the Turgish to concentrate entirely on the walls, and they did not have to worry about being exposed, as the turmoil caused by the siege caused confusion in the management of the ranks and subordinates, and the formation of a cohesive whole.
"The centurion has come to the wall!"
Giza hurriedly pointed to Li Siye not far away, but saw a short and stout man, wearing a black cloak behind him, and his eyes drooped like old camels, sweeping over the soldiers at the head of the city.
Worst! He's about to show his stuff. Li Siye looked nervous, looked down and saw the cloak on his body, and hurriedly took it off and hid it in his arms.
He whispered to Giza, "If Gu Duo asked, you would say that Su Ke was shot by an arrow just now and fell from the battlements. ”
Gu Duo strode over, but he saw Giza at once with sharp eyes, stepped forward and glanced at it a few times, almost not staring at Giza and snorting out.
Li Siye turned his back to them, clutched the handle of the knife at his waist with his palm, and gave Bai Xiaode and Yuan Tao a look to Bai Xiaode beside him, and if the situation was not right, he would directly kill him and throw it down the city wall.
"I said how I couldn't find you, it turned out that I was driven to the city wall, and I was fucking put on the city wall." He glanced at Li Siye, Yuan Tao and the others standing on the left and right: "Why are they all fresh faces?" What about Su Kesheng? Where did he die? ”
Giza stiffened his head and said in a trembling voice: "Su Ke, Su Ke is the captain, he was shot by the crossbow arrow of the Tang army and fell under the city wall. ”
"Really dead?" Gu Duo leaned out of the battlement, as if looking for Su Ke's body. Li Siye, Yuan Tao, Bai Xiaode and the other three had a certain impulse, as long as they picked up this guy's leg from behind and threw him directly off the city wall, even if they couldn't fall to their death, they would be shot into a sieve by the Tang army's bows and crossbows lined up in front of the city.
Bai Xiaode frequently raised his eyebrows, signaling that as long as Li Siye gave an order, he would pounce on it and implement it himself. Li Siye looked around at the surrounding Turks, and stopped this bold act with his eyes in time.
Gu Duoyu withdrew his upper body, patted Giza on the shoulder and said, "Since Su Ke is dead, you will be the leader of the gang in the future." He glanced at Li Siye and the others suspiciously, patted his head and said, "Have I drunk my brain badly recently, why have many people become new faces?" Giza, what's going on? ”
Giza froze on the ground, feeling the blood cold from his head to his feet. Li Siye couldn't understand Turkic dialect, but he couldn't feel the danger. Bai Xiaode quietly stood behind him, and the scimitar at his waist was quietly drawn, which was purely a death question and answer for Giza.
"Centurion Guduo, they are all from our guy, but you don't usually pay much attention, and they are indeed not fresh faces."
The bone slapped Giza on the shoulder again, almost knocking his soul out.
"Team up! I'm going over there. ”
Giza breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned softly against the wall, Li Siye and the others were also shocked, feeling that today's dangers were round after round, almost breaking through the bottom line of their nerves.
As the sun set and the last of the gold fell on the city, the strings in the heads of the people gradually relaxed, and once darkness fell, it was the time for them to move.
The men who held out at the head of the city during the day were withdrawn, and there was a special army on duty at night, which was much more elite than the team defending the city during the day. Li Siye led the team to blend in with the crowd and returned to the flat-roofed house where they were stationed.
After everyone entered the courtyard, they immediately sent people to the forage field to find Duan Xiushi and others, and tonight's action to seize the city gate was about to be planned and implemented.
