Chapter 688 Taking advantage of the situation to break the city
Without the equipment to climb the city, attacking the city would mean death.
Sitayu couldn't understand why the Hanzhou army suddenly attacked. Aren't they afraid of being killed by random arrows? Humiliation and anger rushed to the top of his head, and he shouted: "Send more archers and shoot them to death."
"Follow the order!"
"Send more archers. Quick, throw the archers over."
A general shouted loudly, and countless archers rushed over after hearing the news. They crowded on the city wall, each with their bows and arrows ready, and stared straight ahead.
In front, the two thousand Turkic cavalry holding the formation were a little confused. The general had been killed. Should we retreat or fight?
Everyone looked at the city wall. Only then did Sitayu realize that he had not yet given the order to the cavalry, and quickly shouted: "Send the order for them to return to the city quickly."
There were flag soldiers waving battle flags and issuing orders.
At this time, the Hanzhou Army was approaching. The two thousand cavalry received orders and did not dare to fight. They turned around and rushed towards the city, but it took time for the horses to accelerate.
When the speed increased, the Hanzhou Army had already caught up. The crossbows fired one after another, and the crossbow bolts flew upwards one after another. The screams were frightening.
"Ah! Ah! Ah——"
Screams rang out one after another, and many Tubo cavalry fell off their horses and were trampled by random horses, and the sound soon disappeared.
The two armies chased each other and soon came within the range of bows and arrows.
"Fire the arrow!"
On the city wall, someone shouted loudly.
"boom!"
The sound of a bowstring exploded, like midnight thunder.
A large feathered arrow soared into the sky and headed toward the Hanzhou army as black as a dark cloud.
However, the Hanzhou army suddenly dispersed to both sides, turned around and ran back out of range when the arrows landed. Everything seemed to be planned.
The Tibetan cavalry took the opportunity to rush back to the city, but no one noticed that there were ten people hiding behind the team, wearing Tibetan clothes and using weapons commonly used by the Tibetan people, but each of them carried a pack of explosives behind their backs.
Everyone was hanging at the end, and just as they were about to rush to the city gate, they turned over and fell off their horses one by one, and ducked to both sides of the gate, allowing the horses to follow them and rush into the city.
The person responsible for closing the door was missing, so he quickly closed it and it was stuck.
The Turkic soldiers on the city wall were all staring ahead. The chasing Hanzhou army gathered again, looking like they were about to charge. It made people nervous and worried. No one noticed that there were ten more people under the wall.
After the gate was closed, the ten people quickly rushed into the city gate, making it even harder to find them.
The front of the Hanzhou Army.
Qin Huaidao came on horseback, and when he saw that the improvised tactics were working, he was determined. Originally he just wanted to use fighting generals to defeat the Tibetan morale and military morale, but suddenly he came up with a plan on a whim, but he didn't expect it to be half successful.
Next to him, An Guogong secretly looked at Qin Huaidao, and he was full of shock. How could he still play like this in a war? No wonder he had won many battles and was unbeatable. Who would have thought of such a chore? Fortunately, he was one of his own, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Tubo.
The fourth prince said more than a moment of silence.
"King of Han, it's done, it's my turn, right?" Fang Yiai shouted excitedly.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Since the plan is feasible, the original night attack plan has been cancelled, Luo Ying?"
"Here!" Luo Ying said quickly, cupping her fists.
"Erect the shield, suppress it, and leave a middle channel!"
"Understood!" Luo Ying agreed and hurried to make arrangements.
"Fang Yiai?"
"Here!" When Fang Yiai saw that it was his turn, his eyes lit up and he responded quickly.
"The heavy cavalry and crossbowmen are left behind. The rest are best prepared for battle. As soon as the city gate opens, rush in. Remember, the troops are divided into two groups, attack the enemies on the wall along the way, and eliminate the enemies inside the city along the way. You were lucky last time.
Catch the Turkic prince, whether you can catch the four Tubo princes this time, it depends on you."
"Follow the order, if you can't catch anyone, come forward to see him!" Fang Yiai was overjoyed and hurried to make arrangements. He was the fourth prince of Tubo. If he was caught, not only would he be credited, but his name would be recorded in the history books. Thinking about it makes him excited.
"Dong An Guo, send 10,000 people to the south gate to stop the attack, and 10,000 people to the east gate. No one is allowed to escape. Luo Zhang, you go to the north gate." Qin Huaidao continued to order.
The original plan was to attack three and one of them at night, and let the east gate go to let the enemy escape. This was because they were afraid that the enemy would engage in a trapped beast fight and cause more casualties. But now that it was daytime and the visibility was high, it was natural to try to annihilate them all.
"Follow the order!" The two of them were overjoyed.
At this time, the special forces were well deployed and rushed forward on foot.
In the first two rows, each person holds a shield as high as one person, and in the following two rows, each person holds a repeating crossbow.
Each row is the strength of a regiment. More than a thousand people are closely packed together, pulling out a long horizontal line to advance forward, almost the same as the city, with a ten-meter-wide passage in the middle.
The four rows rolled forward, their power was like a mountain.
Soon, the team came within the range of the bow and arrow. The first row of vertical shields were close together to form a shield wall. The second group raised their shields high and placed one end on the vertical shield in front to block the top.
The people in the two rows behind quickly stepped forward and hid under the shields.
Everyone crowded together and continued to move forward, like a steel Great Wall.
The Tibetan troops in the city were a little confused when they saw this scene, and they all looked at their respective generals. The generals looked at Sitayu.
Sitayu became inexplicably uneasy. Covered by a wide shield, his bow and arrows were of no use at all, but it was useless without a fight. He shouted: "Fire the arrows!"
Military orders are like mountains, no one dares to disobey them.
A fluffy arrow whizzed away, forming a large black mass, drawing a terrifying parabola in the air. They hit the shield one after another, making a tinkling sound and sparks flying everywhere.
The shield is covered with fine steel, not iron, and arrows cannot break through the defense.
The special forces suddenly stopped. The people hiding under the shields raised their repeating crossbows and locked the city through the shield's observation hole. Luo Ying was among them. How could such a good fighting opportunity not come? Locking Sitayu on the city wall, Da Yu
He shouted: "Brothers, suppress and kill!"
"Boohoo!"
Crossbow bolts passed through the observation hole and roared forward, as dense as a violent storm.
The Tibetan troops on the city wall were beaten so hard that they all shrank down to hide, not daring to look out.
Sitayu felt a danger coming towards him. He was frightened and instinctively crouched down to avoid it. He saw a crossbow bolt passing over his head and almost hit him. He suddenly broke out in cold sweat and hid under the city wall.
If you dare to move, you look up and see that the crossbow arrows are coming one after another, continuously.
"It's a crossbow arrow. Don't show your head. Let them shoot. There is a city wall and they can't get in. Don't panic." Sitayu reacted and shouted loudly to cheer up the army.
"That's right, the crossbow arrows cannot be turned. If they are hidden, they cannot be fired." A general echoed.
Once everyone hears this, they don’t know how to turn. The city gate is closed and people can’t get in. So what are they afraid of? They all huddle under the city wall and can’t get out. The military morale is high.
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly, the roar of war drums sounded, which was the signal for a general attack.
Everyone was shocked. There were no siege equipment and the city gates were closed. How could we attack?
Sitayu was also full of curiosity, but the continuous crossbow arrows suppressed the city wall, and he could not look out. His fear became even stronger, and he couldn't help shouting: "Who knows what's going on?"
"Fourth Prince, he just beat the drums, and the soldiers and horses didn't move. It seemed like he was trying to make something mysterious." Someone took a look, quickly retracted, and replied.
"Keep an eye on it and report any situation immediately." Sitayu breathed out.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the city walls were shaking as if they were about to collapse.
Everyone on the city wall lost their balance and fell to the ground one after another, creating a mess.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Sitayu was shocked and shouted repeatedly. He felt the sound at the gate of the city under his feet, but the crossbow arrows were too dense and he did not dare to head out to check. He looked at a general not far away worriedly: "Quick, take people to check the city."
Door."
"Follow the order!" the other party agreed, and called a group of people to follow him. He hunched his body down, walked up the steps and rushed to the city gate. He saw countless crossbow bolts whizzing towards him, and the souls of the dead were coming. He shouted a warning.
A crossbow arrow flew past, piercing his heart, and he collapsed to the ground.
Darkness came like a tide, drowning his consciousness. As he lay dying, the general saw someone holding a repeating crossbow in the city gate. He saw a cavalry roaring in the distance, and a thought flashed in his mind - it's over!
Crossbow arrows flew, killing dozens of Tibetan soldiers who came down to check the situation.
The team leader responsible for blowing up the door rushed into the city and continued to shoot at the nearby Tibetan troops while shouting: "Brothers, cover the army entering the city, kill!"
The soldiers rushed up, quickly dispersed, and shot all around.
There were obviously only ten people, but they fought with the momentum of hundreds or thousands of people. The crossbow arrows continued, blocking the Tibetan army who came to stop them without giving an inch.
"No, the city gate is broken."
"Quickly, kill them all and block the city gate."
Countless Tibetan troops shouted and rushed forward crazily.
However, the ten members of the special force refused to retreat, and their crossbows were quickly fired. They pulled out their swords one by one, with fighting spirit. The captain even yelled: "Two people work together, we must delay the time, fight!"
"war!"
The soldiers turned over and roared, not afraid at all, and charged back towards the Tibetan army, their swords fierce, like wolves and tigers.
The eight sharp swords are opened and closed, and the moves are deadly. All special operations soldiers must learn combat skills.
After a while, a pile of corpses of Tibetan soldiers lay on the ground, but more Tibetan soldiers rushed up and tried to block the door.
"kill!"
A roar shook all directions.
Fang Yiai arrived with his army, his horses flying up and down, sweeping left and right, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, instantly tearing open a large gap, and he continued to rush forward, while the soldiers behind him swarmed up, widening the gap.
A large army quickly dispersed and rushed towards the city wall.
More people followed Fang Yiai and rushed in to kill him.
The team leader responsible for blowing up the door took a deep breath, wiped the blood from his face, and smiled excitedly: "Hahaha, this city gate has been blown up like no other before. You guys have set a precedent. This can last a lifetime. It's so fun."
