Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 79 Night falls
Even though he suffered a lot of losses, this time the Bearded Man had no intention of retreating. Tens of thousands of tribal soldiers, under the cover of their own archers, gradually approached the wall. The bow and arrow array of 5,000 people in the rear no longer shot the arrows of cover, but put away the bows and arrows in their hands, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, lifted the log shield placed on the ground, turned into a sword and shield soldier, followed the siege crash, and walked slowly.
The Bade Man put the flying ladder on the wall, and immediately began to climb, the villager used a fork rod to push down the flying ladder hard, and the sharp horizontal blade directly squeezed (dui three sounds) in front of the Bade Man, and suddenly cut off half of the head of the tribesmen who were climbing, like a split watermelon, and the same scene continued to be staged everywhere on the wall.
There is also a group of township soldiers holding several hook rods, when the bearded man is still some distance away from the head of the wall, the hook rod is stretched out instantly, the hook of the rod head hooks the leather robe and leather armor of the bearded man, a few people exert force, and the first bearded man is pulled to the wall, saving the pain of the other party climbing, and then the soldiers on the side wave the knife indiscriminately, chop it into meat, and send it to reincarnation. Blood smeared the walls and walls, and the corpses of the bearded men kept falling from the walls.
Ashinas held his breath, nervousness and uneasiness filled his heart. Batches of tribal soldiers climbed the wall alive and were thrown off the wall as corpses.
The soldiers of the Badman tribe were unable to attack the wall for a long time, which was something that Ashina and the three of them did not expect. And the defense of the Yong thieves is really incredible, only a few thousand people can block the attack of tens of thousands of their own people, are these thousands of people heavenly soldiers?
Ashina Siyuan saw that the battle situation was slow and could not be opened, so he could only send the last team of 10,000 people in his hand, so far, he no longer had any reserves in his hands, and more than 30,000 tribal soldiers were all pressed up.
That's right, there are 60,000 tribal soldiers, and only more than 30,000 are still in hand. During the night attack, they lost 2,000, 20,000 were siphoned off by Yu Sheshi and An, and more than 6,000 were killed on the second wall. Now the battle has been going on for half an hour, and according to preliminary estimates, more than 2,000 have been killed.
Just as Ashina Siyuan was watching the situation on the battlefield, a small group of men and horses returned in front, and he fixed his eyes on the surviving tribal leaders. They were disgraced and full of anger, and one of the tribal leaders came to him angrily, grabbed his collar tightly with both hands, and asked angrily, "Ashina Siyuan!" What kind of heart do you have?! Do you think that our people are all blown by the wind? If you continue to consume like this, are you planning to let us go back to the grassland alone? Go back to the tribe? ”
Ashina Siyuan stared coldly at the person in front of him, and the tribal leader was stabbed by his indifferent eyes, and his hands unconsciously let go.
Ashina Siyuan's cold tone resounded in the ears of each tribal leader: "The order of the Right Valley Liwang!" Today, we must capture this camp to clear the way for the next attack on Guangmu City. ”
The few clan leaders who ran back couldn't help but shudder when they thought of Yu Sheshi and An's brutal methods. They did not make any more trouble, but obediently returned to the battlefield, except that they no longer rushed to the front, but commanded from a safe distance.
The 2,000 tribal soldiers finally rushed to the top of the wall after hard work, and they were greeted by heavily armed soldiers armed with contradictions, thousands of spears and a man-high tower shield forming a hedgehog-like defense. The tribal soldiers who climbed the top of the wall and the village soldiers guarding the wall were face to face, and they were very dense, and the stabbing of spears could not be avoided at all. And the tribal soldiers who ascended to the top of the city were either armed with a scimitar or a scimitar with a round shield, which could not stop the stab of the spear at all.
Dozens of canisters of fire oil were thrown above the heads of the tribal soldiers, and the archers on the watchtower frequently fired rockets to create arson scenes outside the walls of the fortress to isolate the follow-up tribal soldiers.
And the most insidious is Li Sujie, who wrapped the quenched tribulus terrestris in a cloth bag, put it in the bullet pouch of the stone crossbow, and then threw it. Tribulus terrestris was scattered everywhere at the feet of the tribal soldiers, and if you were not careful, someone would be tricked.
The bed crossbow on the watchtower unloaded the crossbow gun and replaced it with stone bullets, and a puff of stones was shot at the tribal soldiers under the wall, bringing great damage.
The battle situation above and below the walled wall is too dangerous for the tribal soldiers, and there are tribal soldiers who can't bear it, throw away their weapons, turn their heads and run back, and then they are caught and killed by Ashina Siyuan's own soldiers. But the high-pressure measures no longer worked, and more and more of the tribesmen could not bear the fear of death, but hesitated and began to retreat behind. There were terrified shouts everywhere, and the stones and flames made the tribal soldiers under the wall more and more chaotic, pushing and trampling on each other, and the tribal soldiers who were accidentally pushed to the ground were trampled by countless feet, and they could not even let out a cry of pain and despair, so they trampled into flesh. Some of the tribal soldiers ran and fell to the ground, and the toxins in their bodies attacked, and then they also became pulp.
It can really be said that the army is defeated like a mountain, Ashina Siyuan looked at the tribal soldiers who were rushing to his side, and his heart tightened unconsciously, he didn't dare to order the pro-soldiers to be suppressed, there were too many people, and it was easy to be counter-killed. He had to make way with his own soldiers, and let the deserters run to the camp to the west.
The movement under the wall, inevitably, affected the tribal soldiers on the wall, and they looked back to see that their comrades had abandoned themselves. Then they scrambled down the wall to retreat from the ladder. Some flying ladders could not bear the weight of so many people, and they broke into two with a "click", falling people to death on the ground. Before they could escape, some were stabbed to the ground by spears behind them.
After slaughtering the tribal soldiers at the head of the wall, the villagers picked up their bows and arrows, and fired arrows at the back of the tribal soldiers, and all the tribal soldiers who ran a little slower were shot.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
The bed crossbows and stone crossbows began to wield their might, running the stones into the fleeing crowd, leaving the slow-running tribal soldiers on the battlefield entirely.
At this time, the battle on the head of the walled wall had ended, and the corpses under the walled wall were piled up, and it was no longer clear whether the Yong army or the tribal soldiers were distinguished.
This round ended in a fiasco, and the Bade people successively sent 30,000 troops, from noon to evening, and threw nearly 10,000 corpses under the wall, and thousands of people were trampled to death by their own people alone.
The Western Governor's Mansion also paid a terrible price, the second, third, fourth, and fifth, four thousand-man teams lost a total of more than 1,000 people, and more than one thousand-man team was reimbursed, and the rest were wounded.
The soldiers of the Western Governor's Mansion did not have time or strength to celebrate the victory, so Wang Rong's orders were issued one after another, first of all, to seize all the time to clean up the corpses inside and outside the wall, to recover the corpses of their own people, to throw the corpses of the enemy into the trench, and then to increase the amount of wet mud on the outside of the wall.
When it was all over, night fell.
