Jia Shi knew very well that if his tribe did not take the lead as the vanguard, the rest of the tribes would not follow orders.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he offered a heavy reward and robbed her for three days. Whoever robbed the woman's money would get it.
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
A group of howling soldiers held their shields high and swarmed towards the Wuwei City Wall of Liangzhou like a swarm of ants.
Li Chuyun watched the enemy approaching and shouted: "Fire arrows!"
A dense rain of arrows rained down.
The effect achieved was minimal, and it did not cause much damage.
The bows and arrows used by the Tubo people were mostly mounted bows, which were more powerful than their crossbows from the Central Plains. The difference between the walking bows cannot be justified by reason.
Facing soldiers holding shields high, the power of the cavalry bow is really limited.
At this time, three crossbow arrows flew over the city, and the slender crossbow arrows shot towards the crowd.
The powerful penetrating power directly cracked the shields of the siege soldiers, and then nailed the people to the spot like nails.
Li Chuyun shouted: "Okay!"
To put it into detail, this crossbow cart is a product of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period.
Because the structure is simple and the assembly is not complicated, the imperial court took into account the weakness of Liangzhou's city defense and specially separated the materials according to the materials and transported them to Liangzhou in batches to assemble them overnight.
The quantity is not large, only three have been assembled so far.
better than nothing.
Li Chuyun is in the Central Plains, where he has fought a lot of wars for wealth. Now he suddenly encounters this situation, and he is a little uncomfortable.
Too poor.
A bow can't shoot far, but a crossbow can't...
There are only three ballistas that have been out of fashion for hundreds of years...
Stones, rolling logs, etc. were even used from dilapidated houses that were demolished overnight.
Li Chuyun felt like crying but had no tears.
But fortunately, the enemy was not rich either. They were all a group of soldiers wearing cloth armor, paper armor or even no armor. In addition to being fully equipped with arrow-proof shields, there were actually soldiers who didn't even have weapons and just stared at the shields and charged forward.
The moat of Wuwei City has long since dried up due to disrepair, and is covered by flying sand year after year.
The soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city tower easily.
They did not have advanced siege equipment, and all they used were old flying ladders, which were set up directly on the tower, and the soldiers worked hard to climb up step by step.
Wuwei City does not have a good way to deal with it.
It was very primitive to use a racket to shoot down the soldiers who climbed into the city...
The soldiers who captured Jia Shi had not done any training to climb the city.
The defensive soldiers on Li Chuyun's side were also soldiers from the Dragon Clan, the niche valley, and the Minuo clan. They had never practiced how to defend the city...
Don't know how to operate the racket.
Li Chuyun saw with his own eyes that one of his own soldiers was hitting someone with a racket stick. Not to mention his accuracy, he didn't even hold the racket stick firmly and fell off the city wall.
People on both sides are like noobs pecking each other, you come and I go back and forth, the fight is endless.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to defend the city, Li Chuyun easily repelled wave after wave of attacks.
There was almost no need to command, and the opponent's soldiers did not create any danger for them at all.
Li Chuyun thought at first that the place was not good at attacking the city, but gradually he discovered that the opponent was really bad.
In an instant, he also noticed the other party's intention.
Li Chuyun pointed at the soldiers below and said to Long Xu, the leader of the Zhelong tribe who was supervising the battle beside him: "They are not soldiers!"
Long Xu said: "They are all herdsmen. How can any soldiers be sent to attack the city at the beginning? They are all using the shepherds to consume the gold juice, oil and arrows in the city... Waiting for the gold juice, oil and arrows in the city to be exhausted.
After the consumption is over, it is the turn of the soldiers to attack! They have dozens of large and small tribes united, and there are a lot of herders and slaves. If this consumption continues, we will suffer a bit. But... Li Jiedu can rest assured, even without those things, we, the Dragon Clan, will
Warriors like us can also help the Celestial Empire to defend Wuwei City."
He spoke so arrogantly.
Jia Shi's behavior became more and more domineering. Not only did he monopolize half of the trade interests, he also started to be a good person.
Use the allocated money to buy off small tribes from all sides to expand yourself.
Long Xu knew that if he continued, he would be annexed by the other party sooner or later, so it was better to submit to the Central Plains in exchange for glory and wealth.
Li Chuyun narrowed his eyes and looked at the vast and endless enemy army formation outside the city: "So, in this case, there are a lot of herdsmen in such a huge military camp opposite?"
Long Xu said: "There should be quite a few. In a battle, there will inevitably be casualties. Let Mu Nu take the lead to reduce casualties. We all fight like this here... As long as we win, Mu Nu will be replenished. If we lose, Mu Nu will be replenished."
It will belong to someone else. Let the shepherd slaves rush to the front for the most effect."
He didn't feel any discomfort when he said this.
In their eyes, the life of a shepherd slave is really not as valuable as a cow or a horse.
Li Chuyun did not speak, but showed a smile.
One of the enemy and us did not seriously attack, and the other did not seriously defend. Today's attack ended with a bit of drama.
After arresting Jia Shi, he returned to the military camp.
He was very satisfied with today's results.
Only three thousand Mu Nu were used, but a lot of oil and arrows in the city were consumed.
"Pan Luo will send you up tomorrow..."
"The day after tomorrow, the servant will supervise you..."
He arranged the offensive candidates one by one.
Jia Shi was worried that some people would not let go of the herdsmen, and they would be willing to do so. He emphasized: "There are herdsmen, women and money in the city. Now the Central Plains soldiers and horses have invaded Longyou, and they will come to Liangzhou soon. Who dares?
If you are holding me back, don’t blame me for being ruthless, and don’t blame me for not sharing your money. You will get as much as you put in."
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, everyone responded happily.
Jia Shi didn't say anything: Today he sets an example and doesn't believe that others dare to play tricks in front of him.
"Let's all go! Pan Luozhi stays!"
Zhezuo Jiashi watched the others leave the tent and asked, "Do we really have a chance of winning against the Central Plains?"
Pan Luozhi said without hesitation: "Yes, as long as we can capture Wuwei City as soon as possible and lead troops to support Hehuang, we will have a chance. We can also invite the Guiyi armies from Ganzhou Uighur, Sha, and Guazhou to fight against the Central Plains.
Don’t look at them being very attentive to the Central Plains. That’s because the Central Plains does not threaten them, and the Central Plains’ westward expansion is a signal. As long as they are not stupid, they will not turn a blind eye to the Central Plains’ westward expansion at this time.”
Zhezuo Jiashi nodded solemnly: "This Wuwei City is the key."
Pan Luozhi said with a bitter face: "The Emperor of the Central Plains can win thousands of miles with this move. I underestimated him."
Jia Shi said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's because we underestimated Li Chuyun. No one could have imagined that he would win over many tribes and steal Wuwei City without saying anything."
He clenched his fists and said: "Five days, or less than five days, the city's oil and arrowheads will be exhausted. By then..."
His face suddenly turned ferocious: "Li Chuyun, Ayudan, Long Xu, Niu Tianjin, Mibanzhu, Ribuluoji Luodan, on the day the city is destroyed, grandpa will dig out your hearts and drink them!"
Zhezuo Jiashi vented his anger and asked Pan Luozhi to rest.
The capture of Jia Shi was also busy for several days. From the time he learned that the Central Plains invaded Longyou Hehuang, until Li Chuyun stole Wuwei City and dispatched troops to attack, there was no peace for a day.
After the soldiers arrived at the city, they had nothing to do and went to bed early.
Until the early hours of the morning...
