"Thunder Stone Rolling Wood Golden Juice is ready."
Seeing that the Turks were still a few hundred meters away and were about to rush to the city, he frantically ordered to start using weapons to guard the area.
The Turkic cavalry's first counterattack brought thousands of casualties to Yingzhou City. It can be seen that the Turks' ability to roam the grasslands was not a matter of luck.
They are natural cavalry and natural marksmen. In addition, the Turks, old and weak, women and children, can bend a bow and set an arrow when mounted. This is a skill they have developed since childhood.
The overjoyed Turkic cavalry began to cover the infantry and began to attack the city. What they did not expect was that after they had just avoided the fireworks and arrows that blocked the sky, their horses encountered obstacles again.
The war horses that were attacking in a roundabout way at full speed all stumbled to the ground for some reason. The leading Turkic cavalry was thrown straight away. The fate can be imagined. The war horses that were charging at full speed suddenly stopped. The Turkic cavalry was under the powerful impact.
He turned upside down, broke his neck and died on the spot without any struggle.
Even a few lucky ones were trampled to pieces by the cavalry that followed.
The first frozen line of defense alone cost the Turkic cavalry thousands of casualties.
The Turkic cavalry reacted and pulled the reins of their horses, and the horses crossed the first line of defense high. However, the successive freezing directions prevented the Turkic horses from running quickly and could only become the target of the crossbowmen on the city wall.
In comparison, the situation of the Turkic infantry was not much better. The infantry carrying the ladder either tripped to the ground or slipped on the slippery ice and were trampled by the tide of footsteps.
The most miserable thing was the Turks pushing the door-ramming truck. The one-foot-high and three-foot-wide frozen defense line became an insurmountable chasm. The thousand-kilogram weight on the door-ramming truck became a burden to the Turks, and they could only be killed alive.
Shoot to death.
No matter how many infantrymen came up to support them, the heavy siege vehicles still remained firmly on the first line of defense, unable to make any progress.
Many shieldmen began to pull up battle formations to block the rain of arrows on the city wall, and the infantrymen began to break the ice with their scimitars. In just a short moment, they paid a heavy price.
Thousands of infantrymen were shot by arrows and turned into hedgehogs. Their bodies were covered with arrows, and they were so densely packed that it made people feel frightened.
After finally crossing the first line of defense, the second line of defense came one after another. Compared with the panic the first time, the Turks became calmer and began to work closely together to break the ice.
"General, there are only 200,000 arrows left."
Zhong Qiang hurriedly walked up to Zhang Kuang with the command flag in his hand, looking a little panicked.
"How could it be consumed so quickly, with only 200,000 arrows left out of 500,000?"
"General, there are tens of thousands of archers. Dozens of arrows per person are just a cup of tea. Coupled with the counterattack of the Turkic arrows, it is difficult to grasp the accuracy in order to reduce casualties. What should we do next? Do you still want to continue?"
Under the cover of the soldiers, he looked wildly under the city wall, looking at the densely packed corpses of Turks without changing his expression.
"General, be careful of the Turkic sharpshooters."
Zhang Kuang stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers' prompts and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield: "Zhong Qiang, the eight-niu crossbow strong archers are trying their best to suppress the Turkic central army. The front army has begun to arrive at the city, which is not conducive to shooting. Use thunder stones to roll wood and gold juice."
To deal with them, the archers used all their strength to suppress the Turkic center."
"yes."
"Choose twenty people who are proficient in using crossbows and shoot the Turkic leader with all their might."
"General, what should I do with the Turks' rear army? All 200,000 swords killed the central army. What should I do with the rear army?"
Zhang Kuang looked calm: "The rear army was handed over to Dong Kaishan who was ambushing outside the city. In Liu Xiaozi's words, there would be no close combat until the ammunition and food were exhausted. All 200,000 arrows suppressed the Chinese army, and the crossbowmen shot down the city.
The front army must not allow their siege equipment to be brought up."
"It's an order."
Zhong Qiang returned to his position and waved the command flag in his hand: "A rain of arrows covers the Chinese army, shoot them all."
"General, we only have 200,000 arrows left."
"Shoot them clean. The general has an order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed. Shoot them clean."
The lieutenant gritted his teeth: "I have the order."
"The hand crossbows suppressed the infantry under the city with all their strength, and they were not allowed to approach the city."
The sky-blocking rain of arrows flew out from under the city wall again, and there was another dense burst of screams among the Turks.
"Huo Buyan, Ke Yan obeys the order."
"The general will obey the order."
The two of them knelt down on one knee and held hands to make them look respectful.
"After three signals, Xiong Kaishan will attack the Turkic rear army. Huo Buyan, when Xiong Kaishan's light cavalry attacks the Turkic rear army, you will lead the heavy cavalry to provide full support from the east and west gates, and go straight into the central army to interrupt them.
formation."
"The general will receive his order at the end."
Huo Buyan got off the city wall without hesitation.
"Ke Yan, half a quarter of an hour after the cavalry charge, three drums sounded as an order. You command the Mo Dao team, and the gunmen, halberds, swordsmen and shieldmen cover it. Open the north gate and go out to meet the enemy. Intercept and surround the Turks' front, rear, and middle armies.
The army has suffered heavy losses now and must be completely wiped out. If the Turks fight with their last resort, be careful to open a gap and let them see a glimmer of hope."
"The general will receive his order at the end."
"Where is Zhang Feng?"
"My subordinate is here."
"Instruct Zhong Qiang, after the arrows are fired, the bow and arrow battalion will abandon their bows and use knives to support Keyan immediately after he leaves the city."
"It's an order."
"Where is Shen Hui?"
"My subordinate is here."
"To capture the thieves, capture the king first, gather a thousand personal soldiers, and then the whole army will meet the enemy. Then I will follow my general out of the city and return to the Turkic camp, and go straight to Ashinashu's tent."
"General, no, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How can you go out of the city to meet the enemy? It is better for your subordinates to lead a group of troops to steal the camp in a detour."
"Shen Hui, what does this general rely on to lead the army?"
Soldier Shen Hui hesitated for a moment: "Take the lead."
"Follow the order!"
"Follow orders."
"General, after all the arrows have been fired, all the soldiers in the archery camp abandoned their bows and used their swords."
Zhang Kuang nodded lightly: "Send a signal to Xiong Kaishan and launch an all-out assault on the Turkic rear army."
Three special flares sounded in the sky.
Xiong Kaishan, who was lying in ambush outside Yingzhou City, suddenly drew out the saber he saw: "Xiong Shi, the general has ordered us to divide our troops into two groups to attack the Turkic rear army with all our strength."
"It's an order."
"Brothers, the time has come to make achievements. Charge."
Eight thousand light cavalry horses galloped towards the Turkic rear army like a red cloud.
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your troops. We have already lost tens of thousands of warriors just after we attacked the city. If we continue the attack, it will be over."
Ashina looked at the arrows stuck on the ground like wheat on the battlefield. A total of half a million arrows were like a layer of black floor tiles.
"Mingjin Harvest"
"kill"
When he heard the shouts of killing from behind, Ashina's face changed drastically: "Didn't the scouts investigate? Where did the ambush outside the city come from?"
Talmu's expression also changed with surprise: "Your Majesty, the scouts have inspected the terrain within a radius of ten miles and there is no ambush at all."
"Then where did this ambush come from? Why didn't the scout send a signal?"
"Your Majesty, it's better to withdraw our troops first. If we don't withdraw our troops, it will be all over."
"Ming Jin withdraws troops."
But when the sound of killing came from all directions, they were already fighting together.
Commander Qi, who was in many dense forests outside the city, looked at the group of imperial guards behind him: "How are they? Have they been cleaned up?"
"Back to the commander, the Turkic army's rear scouts have all been cleared away."
"Where are Yuan Qing, Liu Yang, and Zheng Xing?"
Li Qi looked downcast: "killed in battle."
Commander Qi's expression changed: "Where is the body? How could he be killed in battle?"
Li Qi waved his hand with a sigh, and a group of imperial guards came over carrying three corpses.
Commander Qi closed his eyes as he looked at the three throats pierced by arrows: "The Turkic scouts are all sharpshooters among the sharpshooters, and they are indeed worthy of their reputation."
"Commander, these Turks have been dealing with wild beasts for a long time, and they are extremely agile. Each of them has the ability to shoot through a tree with a hundred steps. The three of them were pierced by an arrow in the throat before they even got close to a hundred steps."
Commander Qi withdrew the Yan Fei Dao from his waist with a miserable expression: "Let's give it a generous burial. Each family will receive a pension of 500 taels. Each of the brothers will contribute. I will take out 100 taels of silver alone to collect 1,000 taels and send them back. Treat them well."
relatives."
Li Qiyiqian's inner guard's eyes were a little wet: "Yes, Commander."
