In Yizhou City, Su Dingfang pointed at a piece of adobe house and shouted loudly. His mind was filled with Li Jing's plan just now, and he was very excited.
The plan of the military god was very simple. Often the simpler the plan, the easier it would be to realize it. Thinking of the consequences of the enemy falling into the trap, Su Dingfang's blood boiled and his eyes shone.
The adobe house was not strong. A group of soldiers rushed up and knocked down the adobe walls with all their strength. They took away all the hay and wooden beams that could be burned, creating a vacuum zone.
It was lunch time, and the Turkic army outside the city postponed their attack. They had to seize this rare free time to get everything ready. Su Dingfang looked at the adobe houses being demolished, but still felt that it was too slow, so he called in more people to help, more than a dozen people
Lifting huge logs and striking them is much more efficient.
Not long after, a man hurried over and said with cupped fists: "General, our army has prepared enough water. All the wells in the city have put rotten cattle and sheep carcasses in them and buried them. The water sources outside the city are also filled with rotten carcasses and cannot be used anymore."
"Well done. Allocate more manpower to help Duke Wei look for flammable objects."
"Follow the order!" the other party agreed and hurried away.
"Wow!"
Another wall was knocked down and earth flew into the air.
Su Dingfang saw that the vacuum zone was getting bigger and bigger, and it was like a rudimentary urn city. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, Jiang was still old and hot. Duke Wei's plan was really ruthless!
Half an hour later.
A large number of earthen houses were torn down and the earthen walls were smashed to form an urn city. All the archers were deployed around the urn city, ready to prepare their arrows.
When Su Dingfang came to the city wall, he saw that the Tibetan army began to gather and prepare to attack again. Some people in the crowd were carrying wooden sticks, filled with murderous intent, but his heart felt inexplicably relaxed, and there was still some expectation.
In the past, Su Dingfang wished that there would be fewer people to attack, but this time he wished that all the Turkic troops would come over.
"here we go."
Li Jing came over and stood side by side, his eyes wild.
"Mr. Wei, if we can win this battle, you will be the first to do so." Su Dingfang said seriously.
"I'm so old, what's the point of getting the first merit?" Li Jing laughed, not caring.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Woo——"
Suddenly, war drums roared, shaking the wilderness, followed by a low, long horn sound.
An army of 5,000 people came over in neat lines, gradually accelerating. The sword and shield soldiers were still in the front, carrying ladders and responsible for climbing the city, and the archers behind were responsible for suppressing it. The fighting method was conventional, but very practical.
After entering the land of an arrow, the Tubo army began to accelerate their charge, closing the distance as quickly as possible, so that they would be spared two rounds of arrow rain attacks, and fewer people would die.
However, this time there was no arrow attack.
The Turkic army attacking the city was overjoyed, but they were not slow on their feet. They rushed to the bottom of the city in one breath and set up a ladder. Someone immediately climbed up the ladder quickly.
If it had been before, there would have been archers shooting to prevent the climb, but not this time. The Turkic army attacking the city did not realize that there was a trick, but was overjoyed and climbed faster.
Just as he was about to climb the city wall, as before, he was stabbed by countless spears. Even if he blocked the iron spears and climbed a few more steps, he would still be hacked by swords and it would be difficult to survive.
The siege was so brutal that it was chilling.
However, the Turkic army had no other way out and could only attack frantically, exchanging lives for lives and engaging in a war of attrition.
The first batch of 5,000 men who attacked were quickly defeated, and the second batch took turns to keep the intensity of the attack undiminished. This time, the Turkic Khan did not hesitate to pay the price and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Soon, the Loulan army felt the pressure. Su Dingfang saw that the third batch of siege troops had assembled and might come up at any time, but he smiled and said: "Duke Wei, the Turkic army is going to risk their lives today and can't wait to pass through Yizhou.
Could it be that Xue Rengui attacked the Turkic royal court?"
"Didn't the King of Han ask Xue Rengui to just plunder, harass and create panic? Did he dare to lead troops to directly attack the Turkic royal court? Also, does he have the strength?" Li Jing asked in surprise.
Su Dingfang laughed when he heard this: "It seems that Duke Wei knows too little about Xue Rengui. In terms of force, no one in the Hanzhou Army can rival him, not even Luo Tong. In terms of command, Luo Zhang and Xue Rengui are the closest to the King of Han."
It has been a long time since I learned the truth, but I thought Luo Zhang was not as good as Xue Rengui."
"Luo Tong is not as powerful as Xue Rengui?"
Li Jing was shocked. In his memory, Luo Tong was the second-generation martial arts master of the Tang Dynasty, but he knew that Su Dingfang would not take this kind of thing seriously. He couldn't help but look at Xue Rengui and asked: "Luo Zhang's ability to command troops."
I have never seen it with my own eyes and cannot compare, so how does Xue Rengui compare to you?"
Su Dingfang smiled bitterly and said: "Some is not as good as the worst case scenario."
"What?"
Li Jing was shocked. Seeing that Su Dingfang didn't seem to be joking, he immediately became interested. Su Dingfang, who was arrogant and capable, felt that he was inferior. How powerful is this Xue Rengui? But now is not the time to ask. Seeing the third batch of the Turkic Army
The attacking troops had already come up and immediately said: "The time is almost here."
"Then it's Duke Lao Wei." Su Dingfang solemnly clasped his fists.
"Take care, see you outside the city!"
"Take care of yourself too!"
Su Dingfang warned, watched Li Jing leave and shouted loudly: "The city gate defenders quickly evacuate, let the enemy in, and order the archers to prepare to kill!"
"Obey the order!" Someone immediately ran to deliver the order.
A battalion of troops was left at the city gate to hold on to the city gate, and they quickly evacuated after receiving the order.
There was no one to hold up the city gate, and the city gate was quickly knocked open by the wood from outside.
When the Turkic army saw the city gate smashed open, they cheered loudly, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. The third batch of siege troops accelerated their charge and even lost the ladder. When they looked at the city gate, who was still climbing the ladder to climb the city wall?
"Kill--"
Countless Turkic troops swarmed in and rushed into the city.
Even the Turkic Khan who was watching the battle excitedly shouted orders to send more troops to attack.
The Turkic troops who rushed into the city found a large clearing area in front of them. The original earthen houses were gone, but the rooftops in the distance were densely packed with archers with their bows drawn.
"No, I was fooled!"
A terrible thought instantly came to the mind of the Turkic army who rushed into the city, but more people rushed in from the city gate. There was no way to retreat. They could only rush forward, otherwise they would be knocked down and trampled to death.
"boom!"
A desperate sound of bowstrings exploding spread all around, and a large number of feathered arrows whizzed in, covering the entire space at the city gate, as dense as a storm.
"ah--"
Countless screams rang out, and large swaths of Turkic troops fell.
But the Turkic troops were swarming behind them, and they had no way to retreat. They had no way to stop and watch, otherwise they would be knocked down and trampled to death. They could only face the terrible rain of arrows and rush forward desperately, stepping on the corpses of the people in front.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Screams came and went, resounding in all directions.
The Loulan Army used a two-stage shooting method, with arrows coming one after another with a very short interval. The crazy output blocked the city gate and did not give anyone a chance.
