Under Dingxiang City, the shouts of killing were loud, but the Western Turks' attack was obviously hindered and was suppressed by Li Jing's defending army.

This is what siege warfare is all about. If you want to capture a city and it is a well-prepared city, you cannot succeed overnight.

First of all, its military strength must be several times that of the officers and soldiers defending the city. This first rule is completely met by the Western Turks.

The 400,000-strong Western Turkic army had an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength.

The second point is the city defense, that is, the materials used to defend the city, such as rolling logs and stones, such as kerosene, and boiling oil.

The more these materials a city prepares, the more difficult it will be to attack the city.

A charge is not just a charge, it is a matter of consuming the city's supplies with human lives.

Only the supplies in the city were exhausted, and it was time for the Western Turks to attack the city wall.

Once the city wall is attacked, it is not far from breaking the city!

The Western Turkic army thought so and did the same thing.

As the battle became more intense, arrows, rolling logs, rocks, boiling oil, and kerosene, under the command of the guards and school captains, poured towards the Western Turks who were attacking the city.

This caused heavy casualties to the Western Turkic vanguard army attacking the city. The original fifty thousand troops, but only one hour later, the number of casualties reached more than ten thousand.

The cost of this casualty was horribly high, but the Western Turks did not back down, but bravely charged towards the city wall, trying to attack the city wall.

"Cum for me!!!"

"Have you not eaten yet? The enemy is about to charge forward. Once they do, it will be your death!!!"

The captain screamed as hard as he could, urging his men to stop the Western Turks' attack.

From the rear of the Western Turks' army, after the vanguard attacked for an hour, the main force of the army also came, but they did not join the battlefield, but stopped in the distance.

Among the central army, King Zuo Xian was sitting on his bullock cart, listening to the news coming from the front from his men.

The 50,000-strong vanguard army has now suffered more than 10,000 casualties. This was completely within King Zuo Xian's expectation.

These people are not really Western Turks at all. If you observe them carefully, you can find that their appearance is very different from that of the Western Turks.

People like the Pioneer Army are called aliens in Western Turks. The so-called aliens are the children born between Western Turks and other races, or the children of aliens and Turks. The range of aliens is very wide, but the most common ones are people from the Western Regions.

!

In the eyes of King Zuo Xian, these foreigners who looked very different from the Western Turks were just cannon fodder. Even if all 50,000 people died, he would not feel the least bit distressed.

The reason why these aliens launched such a desperate attack on Dingxiang City was just to find a way out for themselves.

If you can gain enough military exploits in the war, even if you are a foreigner, you can still gain a certain status in the Western Turks' army.

Of course, it is too difficult to achieve this. Even if there are people in the Western Turks who can achieve it, they are rare.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, King Zuo Xian glanced at his subordinates and said, "How is Changsun Chong doing over there?"

His subordinates hurriedly replied: "Chang Sun Chong has led a group of troops towards the west city gate, and now he should have launched an attack on Dingxiang City!"

King Zuo Xian nodded and said nothing more. He had not promised Changsun Chong before because he did not want him to control the military. Changsun Chong was ambitious, so how could he not see it?

Why he had an sworn hatred with the Tang Dynasty for revenge, that was just rhetoric, and its purpose was to win over people for him.

The reason why he finally agreed to give him a team of troops was just a move by King Zuo Xian to test Changsun Chong. Those people were also from a foreign race, and it didn't matter whether they were from another race.

If Changsun Chong could rely on these troops to attack Dingxiang City, he would be very happy. If he failed, he would take this opportunity to suppress Changsun Chong.

On Dingxiang City, Li Jing listened to the report from his men. Originally, only two sides were besieged, but now it has been besieged on three sides. The Turks also launched an attack on the west wall of the city, and the offensive was stronger than that of the north and east walls.
