The siege of Landu City was more difficult than expected. Even though the defenders had various advantages, the Turkic army, under the strict orders of Xue Nie Khan, still surged forward without fear of death.
During these two days and two nights, the Turkic army never stopped attacking the city, and the Zhao army did not relax at all. This fierce battle made Zhao Xun feel as if he had returned to the Youbei prefectures and fought against the Mohe people, shouting
The sound of killing echoed in my ears, and my eyes were filled with blood and fire. When he first rose up, he killed like this.
Above the grassland, the blue sky seemed to have turned red, and the red was so eerie. Looking at the Turkic soldiers under the city like ants, swarming in like a tide, Zhao Xun always felt that it was unreal and a little erratic.
.
The spear in his hand was instantly drawn, and he stabbed to death a Turkic general who rushed to the top of the city. Then he shot the body down from the top of the city. All the movements were smooth and smooth, without the slightest hesitation.
After two days and two nights of continuous fierce attack, corpses were everywhere under Landu City, blood flowed into rivers, and the bloody gas went straight into the sky. The walls of Landu City had turned red. Under the sunlight, the dark colors could be reflected.
The red light is coming.
Zhao Xun leaned on his spear and observed the surrounding situation indifferently above the gatehouse.
In two days and two nights of fighting, the city's defenders suffered losses of more than 20,000, and most of them were still young men in the city. The Turkic army suffered at least 50,000 casualties, or even more. These Turkic armies were still not good at attacking fortresses.
Compared with the powerful and orderly offensive of the Han people, who hid murderous intent in the calm, the commanders of Xue Nie Khan outside the city were obviously of a much lower level. However, it cannot be denied that at this moment, they were indeed strong and not afraid of death.
Zhao Xun believed that if the heavy armored soldiers had not appeared on the top of the city, the defenders would have suffered greater casualties.
"Lord, can we fight back? If this continues, the officers and soldiers in the city will have a hard time with it! The Turkic army can rotate, but we can't rotate casually now. If this continues, the situation will not be good."
Nangong Hao walked over and said wearing a somewhat torn armor. The armor was all red, and there were some pieces of meat in the gaps in the armor.
Now, not only these generals, but also Zhang Yuanjing and other civil servants are also wearing armor and boarding the tower to observe the enemy's situation and respond at any time.
Zhao Xun looked up at the sky and shook his head, "Wait a little longer, it's not time yet... If we want to fight back, we have to win the battle. The time has not come yet, we have to continue to be patient... At the very least, we have to
Wait until the sun goes down before starting to counterattack. First defeat the enemy troops under the city, and then attack the camp outside the city at night. Even the Turkic army will be exhausted after repeated hard battles. This is the best time for our army to counterattack."
"Nangong Hao, let the Shenji Battalion be prepared and ready to go to war at any time! Let them carry out the Zhentian Lei."
Nangong Hao immediately responded and ran along the several-foot-wide city wall.
The setting sun is like blood, and the large banner on the city head is in the blood color, revealing a bit of cold and fierce energy, hunting in the wind, the flaming unicorn on the flaming unicorn flag, in the sunset moon, even more heroic
…
At this moment, the Turkic army under the city has not decreased at all. They are like sardine cans, with people and heads everywhere. Even if the crossbowmen of the defenders on the city topple their bows and arrows like rain, they are still
The density of the Turkic army was not reduced. In order to speed up the siege, the Turkic army increased the intensity of the siege. Especially yesterday, Xue Nie Khan recruited tens of thousands of slaves from several tribes in the rear to help break the city.
Therefore, this makes it more difficult to defend the city. No matter how fast they kill, they cannot rush as fast as the Turkic army. At this time, there are already countless Turkic troops climbing up along the hundreds of ladders. This also makes Zhao
The army's defensive supplies were consumed very quickly.
Time is passing, the fighting continues, the screams and wailings continue, and the sound shakes the world...
"Lord, the Turkic troops are gathering under the city, and the sky is getting darker. It's time to fight back. Use the sky-shattering thunder!" Zhang Yuanjing, who was behind Zhao Xun, said loudly.
Zhao Xun looked at the sky, then at the tide of Turkic troops under the city, nodded slightly, and said: "Start the counterattack! Remember, don't throw too many at once, so that each of these sky-shaking thunders will emit the most powerful sound.
Effective effect.”
The Sky Thunder explosion has an effective range, and Zhao Xun naturally does not want the Shenji Battalion to waste it in order to achieve the effect as soon as possible. There are not many reserves of these Thunder Thunder. If it cannot cause Xue Nie Khan great losses,
Isn't it such a loss?
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely explain everything clearly!" Zhang Yuanjing nodded and hurriedly passed on the order.
After the Shenji Battalion received the military order, they were almost crazy with excitement. Facing such a dense crowd under the city, they did not need to use equipment to eject them at all. They only needed to directly throw them down the city after lighting the fire.
"Prepare, light the fire, launch!" the Shenji Battalion officer gave the order, and the Shenji Battalion soldiers immediately took action. At this moment, on the entire city wall, at every distance, there were several Shenji Battalion soldiers wearing red armor who were busy
With.
A moment later, on the top of the city, every few dozen meters, a soldier from the Shenji Battalion swung the ignited Thunderbolt towards the city. The Thunderbolt with sparks roared towards the densely packed Turkic army below the city.
Smash it.
"What is this?" Outside the city, many Turkic soldiers saw a black shadow with sparks falling from the top of the city and fell into the crowd. Because the sky was already dark, it looked extremely dark.
It was conspicuous. However, because Turkic soldiers gathered outside the city, it was impossible to take it out in time, and it was impossible to understand what was inside.
"Rumble..."
In an instant, a loud thunder-like sound was heard from outside the city, accompanied by streaks of fire. Whether it was the defenders on the city wall or the Turkic army's main formation several miles outside the city, they suddenly
Everyone felt like there was a buzzing in their ears and the earth was shaking slightly. Especially
It was the defenders on the city wall. Although they were warned by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, these three soldiers and the Landu tribe members all turned pale and trembled all of a sudden. This kind of weapon was beyond their imagination. In their eyes,
Come on, this is all about manipulating the divine thunder to fend off the enemy.
No matter whether it was the Turkic army's main formation or the defenders on the city wall, they were not as miserable as the Turkic army outside the city. Above and below the city, both sides could clearly see that among the dense siege soldiers, countless corpses suddenly followed.
The flames flew into the sky. In an instant, only countless pieces of corpses fell down, and broken arms and legs fell all over the ground. Under the densely packed Land City, nearly a hundred blank areas with a radius of several feet appeared in an instant.
At this moment, nearly 4,000 Turkic Army soldiers were killed and more than 2,000 soldiers were injured. The huge lethality of the Thunderbolt made the entire battlefield pause. Many of them were extremely excited just now and thought about going to the city.
The Turkic soldiers who had received the bounty were already pale at this time and wanted to quit.
It was not the first time that Zhao Jun's Sky Thunder appeared on the grassland, nor was it the first time it was used in the Turkic tribes. It appeared once in Bingzhou, but Xue Nie Khan did not know the actual situation of the Sky Thunder.
The last time Li Chenfeng led his army to raid Moran and other tribes, he also used it once. However, most of the people of these tribes were alive and dead, and the Turkic army soldiers did not pay attention to the appearance of the thunder.
During the attack and defense of Landu City, Zhao Jun was never used, so Xue Nie Khan also forgot that Zhao Jun had such a sharp weapon. Therefore, Zhen Tian Lei faced the dense siege team, which was really the most powerful weapon.
A strong counterattack is also the most effective counterattack.
Facing the huge sky-shaking thunder, the Turkic troops were shocked and panicked. Most of the soldiers regarded these things as sky thunder. In their eyes, only sky thunder could have such prestige in the world. The entire battlefield suddenly became violent.
There was silence, as if time had suddenly stopped. The originally exciting morale suddenly weakened, and some soldiers and slaves were even quietly retreating.
"Damn it! What the hell is this? What did Zhao Jun use?" Xue Nie Khan suddenly roared angrily in the Turkic Army's main formation, as if he was crazy. The price he paid for Landu City was too high. The lucky ones
Putting aside the ten thousand soldiers for the moment, this attack on the city also
After paying tens of thousands of casualties, he could not let this operation fail. In his opinion, above Landu City, King Zhao personally defended the city, so there must still be few defenders in Landu City.
There will definitely be no surprises during this siege.
"Send the order and continue the attack. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy! The officers of each department will strictly investigate each department. If any of his subordinates escape, the officers will severely punish them!" Xue Nie Khan ordered frantically.
"Zhao Jun must not have many of these weapons, otherwise they would not use them at this moment, instead of using them a few days ago. Zhao Jun's move also shows that it is difficult for them to hold on! The soldiers attacked with all their strength and captured Lan
Capital City, double the reward!"
Xue Nie Khan's messengers kept shouting to convey Xue Nie Khan's military orders to the Turkic soldiers outside the city, and asked the supervising team to kill dozens of retreating soldiers. Only then did the shocked Turks
The sergeant finally got a little better. After waiting for a while, he found that those
Things that could explode like sky-shaking thunder stopped appearing, and they couldn't help but start to move forward tentatively to attack again. Xue Nie Khan's double reward also made these soldiers ecstatic. In an instant, they
The fear in my heart was suppressed in my heart and continued to surge forward.
More than a hundred sky-shaking thunders killed more than 4,000 enemy troops and injured more than 2,000 people at one time. This can be said to be a miracle. If the Turkic army was not too dense, even after special processing
It is impossible for Zhentian Lei to achieve such good results.
Now that the approaching Turkic troops have been slaughtered, Zhao Jun will naturally not continue to launch casually. Without enough enemy troops gathered, the thunder will not achieve its maximum effect. Of course, there are not many enemy troops, and it will not be able to attack Land City.
The threat will not be too great, and Zhentian Lei will naturally not continue to use it casually. This kind of thing must naturally be used in the most critical places. Only in this way can it exert its greatest influence.
The effect of the sky-shaking thunder frightened the Turkic army, but it also made the defenders morale happy. A burst of cheers suddenly came from the entire city. At this moment, the defenders, especially the three soldiers and the Landu tribe reserve army,
They were no longer afraid of the enemy attacking the city, because they all saw that not far from them, there were still a large number of thunderbolts piled up there.
The siege of the city continued. Just as the thunder exploded, many Turkic troops who had almost climbed to the top of the city fell down again. At this time, more Turkic troops came from the rear and continued to climb up the stairs to the city.
On the top, stones, rolling wood, fire oil, gold juice, and various defensive tools were constantly thrown at the Turkic troops on the ladder.
In an instant, countless Turkic soldiers were always knocked down by the gleeful defenders with endless defensive equipment when they were about to climb to the top of the city.
The recruited Landu tribesmen smashed rolling stones and knocked down logs, while the rest of the defenders all drew their bows and arrows and shot arrows desperately at the city. Every arrow fired could always hit an enemy.
After paying a heavy price and walking on mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the Turkic troops below the city finally jumped onto the city. The sword and shield soldiers on the city took up their swords and engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, while the crossbowmen
Then conduct a surprise attack from behind.
The Turkic troops continued to swarm up the city. The Zhao army on the city refused to give in. Both sides fought desperately for their lives. Hand-to-hand fighting was everywhere. As more and more Turkic troops swarmed up the city,
At the beginning, groups of heavy armored soldiers began to appear, and they marched towards the enemy with heavy steps...
As soon as the heavy armored soldiers appear, they immediately turn the situation around!
These heavy-armored soldiers only need to use their heavy axes to lift and lower their swords, and chop and slash in succession. More than a thousand heavy-armored soldiers advance like a wall, killing them every three steps. These soldiers, who are covered with armor, are in this city.
In a hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, he is simply invincible.
The city head is so small that it is impossible to set up a formation, especially for the siege party. Even the weapons are mostly short weapons such as swords. In such an environment, any formation array is no longer reliable. The most reliable
The most important thing is the strong individual combat ability.
The heavy armored soldiers guarding the city did not need any formation at all. They only needed five or six people to go to that row, and then advance steadily in a straight row. They had successfully forced the Turkic soldiers who had attacked the city to retreat continuously.
Even the powerful soldiers couldn't stop a big ax coming straight down. They didn't need to defend themselves at all. They only had to chop, chop, and chop again. All that was left were broken human bodies on the ground.
The Turkic army has no way to deal with the heavy armored soldiers. The heavy armored soldiers have almost no weaknesses, at least when it comes to attacking a city. Except for their eyes, the weapons equipped by the Turkic soldiers who attack the city are naturally not the same.
Maybe it was bows and arrows. Besides, they had no chance of killing them with one strike. So, on the city wall, they almost had no choice but to be massacred by the defenders.
Gradually, the Turkic soldiers who were fighting on the city were slowly forced back by the heavy armored soldiers. However, the hard battle for days made it difficult for the heavy armored soldiers to last long. The situation at the city was changing. From time to time, the Zhao army retreated and the Turkic army advanced. From time to time, another attack occurred.
The Zhao army counterattacked, while the Turkic army retreated.
"Lord, the Turkic troops outside the city have gathered together again!"
"Zhentian Lei, keep throwing! Since it's here again, we must treat it well!" Zhao Xun said coldly.
"Rumble..."
There was another fire and loud noise, this time in the evening when it was getting dark, so the fire outside the city was particularly clear. Just like the last time, there were five to six thousand casualties. However, this time many soldiers saw it
Sparks flickered, and they rushed to retreat. But how could they retreat among this dense crowd of soldiers?
This time the thunderbolt appeared, the Turkic army that attacked the city completely collapsed. The Turkic army outside the city no longer had the previous momentum. Although they did not flee in all directions, the Turkic soldiers outside the explosion range were
They no longer dare to approach easily. In fact, many soldiers fled directly to the rear, and the supervising team did not continue to supervise the battle at this moment.
"Damn...I..."
Seeing this situation, Xue Nie Khan, who was in the Turkic army's main formation, opened his eyes angrily and became speechless.
It seemed that Landu City could be breached, but failed again and again. At this moment, Xue Nian Khan's hands were trembling, just like a gambler, he was "forced" to increase his chips again and again. Now
The chips have been increasing, but he has yet to see the harvest. Under the seemingly crumbling Landu City, he was seduced by Zhao Jun. He sent troops and horses again and again, always thinking that he would win the next moment.
What to do now? The morale of the whole army has plummeted, and the soldiers are exhausted. They are about to capture Landu City, but the result is still... Xue Nie Khan is very unwilling, but at this moment he can't let Zhao Jun be so unknown.
weapons. He wanted to continue, but looking at the soldiers in front and around him, he knew that the night battle could no longer continue.
"Great Khan, the morale of the soldiers is gone, so we should stop the attack. In addition, the soldiers have been exhausted after fighting hard for a day. Besides, it won't be too late to take action once we find out what Zhao Jun's weapons are!" said the right general!
Wu Duyan hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Xue Nie Khan took a sharp look at the flaming unicorn flag floating slowly above Landu City. Anger surged in his heart, and his hidden hands that were holding the riding whip were trembling uncontrollably.
After hesitating for a long time, Xue Nie Khan gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat the troops and return to the camp!"
Immediately, outside Landu City, the Turkic soldiers who received the military order immediately ran back in a hurry, as if they were being chased by the Zhao army. Many Turkic army officers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Such a situation was not to be considered ordinary.
The soldiers, even they officers, were terrified, and they were already eager to withdraw immediately.
Above Landu City, when Zhao's soldiers saw the Turkic troops withdrawing, they immediately burst into cheers as they celebrated the victory of this battle.
Xue Nie Khan, who had just turned his horse's head to evacuate to the camp, suddenly heard the thundering cheers behind him. He couldn't help but tighten his hands, and his heart was filled with anger. He wanted to turn his horse's head immediately and fight back. However,
He knew that this could only be a thought in his mind. Before he knew the weapons used by Zhao Jun tonight, his soldiers no longer dared to attack fiercely.
