Chapter 1279 Xue Dingshan is guarding the city, and the Turkic artillery is also in crisis
Chapter 1279: Xue Dingshan passes the city and the city is fortified, and the Turkic artillery is also in danger
"Kill!"
The Turkic reinforcements rushed towards Xue Dingshan and Dou Yihu.
"Kill!"
Dou Yihu came forward with a spear and stabbed a Turkic soldier to death.
Dou Yihu's spear was like a giant python, opening its bloody mouth and devouring the Turkic soldiers who rushed over one by one.
Dou Yihu's martial arts skills were extraordinary, and someone would surely scream and fall off his horse once he was shot.
However, there were too many Turkic reinforcements, and Dou Yihu could not resist them no matter how brave he was.
Xue Dingshan saw that Dou Yihu was in a precarious situation, and he knew that if he continued like this, Dou Yihu would be finished sooner or later.
"General Xue, I'm here to help you!"
Li Wenzhong rushed forward on his horse, and Dou Yihu attacked the Turkish reinforcements on the left and right.
"Good brothers, let's unite and kill him without leaving a single piece behind!"
The cooperation between Xue Dingshan and Li Wenzhong became more and more tacit, and the Turks suffered heavy losses.
The Turks were forced to retreat several hundred meters.
"General Xue, what should we do?"
a general asked.
Xue Dingshan said: "Since the Turks want to besiege us, we will use their tactics to fight the Turks here! The Turks will definitely not be able to hold on for long!"
Xue Dingshan said: "Tell everyone, even if you die tonight, you must defend the city for me! We cannot let the Turks attack Baiyunguan City!"
Everyone agreed in unison!
Xue Dingshan led everyone back to the city gate tower to prepare to defend the city.
The Turks have been stationed outside the city for two days, and they have been thinking of various ways to attack the city.
Now that the Turks saw hope, they stopped attacking. They were preparing to sneak attack Baiyun Pass after dark tomorrow, in the dead of night.
The Turks' purpose is very simple. Baiyun Pass is a granary with abundant food. If Baiyun Pass is captured and food is continuously delivered, the Turks will not need to worry about food problems.
This plan is good, but the Turks forgot one thing, that is, there are 40,000 elite infantry and 2,000 archers stationed in Baiyun Pass.
Xue Dingshan sat on the city wall and observed the surrounding situation.
He found that the Turks were indeed quietly sending scouts to the north to investigate, as if they were on guard against something.
What are the Turks guarding against?
Xue Dingshan suddenly remembered what happened last night. Those scouts were ambushed and annihilated.
Could it be?
Xue Dingshan narrowed his eyes, could it be the Turkic artillery army?
The Turks used this long-range weapon when they were fighting in the south and with the countries in the Western Regions. It was extremely lethal and terrifying.
"Report to the general, there are five thousand Turkic soldiers approaching us from the north."
A detective sentry ran to Xue Dingshan and said.
Xue Dingshan frowned immediately after hearing this. The Turkic soldiers were really lingering!
"How many troops does the enemy have?"
Xue Dingshan asked.
"The Turks have five thousand soldiers and horses. They look like artillery!"
Tan Shao said.
Xue Dingshan became even more worried after hearing Tan Shao's words.
The Turks have 5,000 artillerymen, but we only have 3,000 musketeers. The actual combat effectiveness is very different.
"Call the gold and withdraw the troops immediately!"
Xue Dingshan decided to retreat temporarily and not to confront the Turks head-on, otherwise the losses would be serious.
Soon, the bells and drums rang.
When the Turks heard the sound of bells and drums, their faces showed joy. They knew that the guards at Baiyun Pass were dying.
The Turks immediately howled excitedly.
At this moment, they seemed to see Baiyunguan within easy reach!
On the other side, Turks are still sixty or seventy miles away from Baiyunguan.
"Report, general, the Tang soldiers in Baiyun Pass have withdrawn their troops and retreated to the city."
The commander of the Turkic army, Ashina Simo, heard the news and immediately became excited.
"Hahaha, we finally forced those bastards away.
Order the entire army to continue advancing and capture Baiyun Pass."
Ashina Simo roared ferociously.
"Kill!"
The Turkic army rushed towards Baiyunguan like wolves and tigers.
Xue Dingshan and Dou Yihu had just withdrawn from the Baiyunguan city wall.
"General, it's not good! The Turks are attacking Baiyun Pass!"
A deputy general hurried in to report.
"The Turkic dog thieves haven't given up yet. It seems they are determined to attack Baiyun Pass."
Xue Dingshan's face became solemn.
"General, what should we do?
The Turks have at least 5,000 artillery troops, and we only have 3,000 musketeers!"
A lieutenant general said worriedly.
The other lieutenants also had sad faces.
"What are you afraid of?
We have four thousand musketeers and two hundred crossbowmen, enough to deal with them!"
"Report to the general, the Turks are approaching Baiyun Pass!"
Xue Dingshan had just returned to the tower of Baiyunguan when he heard the whistleblowing report.
"Call the entire army to be on alert!"
Xue Dingshan ordered.
Soon, the entire army was on alert, and all the musketry soldiers were holding their firearms and ready for battle at any time.
The Turks are already less than five miles away from Baiyunguan.
Xue Dingshan saw that the Turks were desperately advancing towards Baiyunguan.
General Xue, the enemy has begun attacking again."
Xue Dingshan was resting when his soldiers ran outside his tent and shouted.
"Walk!"
Xue Dingshan jumped up and rushed to the battlefield with his soldiers.
When he arrived at the battlefield, Xue Dingshan was stunned.
I saw Turkic soldiers and horses surrounding my own regiment, and their offensive became even more fierce.
"Damn! Are they crazy?
They actually tried their best to attack the city!"
Xue Dingshan cursed.
"General, their artillery troops are coming out!"
shouted the Turkic commander.
Xue Dingshan took a closer look and found that, as the other party said, there were five thousand people.
These five thousand people were arranged neatly, and behind the Turks, there were five giant catapults.
Next to each catapult, eight soldiers stood guard, while the remaining soldiers were carrying stones.
"Kill!"
Ashina Simo raised his saber and rushed to the front first.
"Fire the arrow!"
Xue Dingshan roared fearlessly.
Boo hoo hoo.
Arrows flew and the Turkic soldiers fell to the ground.
Ashina Simo led the people and rushed to the city.
"Siege the city!"
Ashnasmo shouted.
The Turks rushed towards Baiyun Pass crazily.
"Kill!"
The defenders on the tower of Baiyunguan kept shooting arrows at the Turks who were rushing over.
"Boom!"
Stone bullets were thrown out from Baiyun Pass one after another.
"Rumble..."
The Turkic catapults opened fire.
Suddenly, the sky was full of flying rocks, hitting the city wall of Baiyunguan from the air.
The city wall was smashed into holes and filled with smoke and dust.
"Fuck!"
Xue Dingshan couldn't help but swear.
Baiyunguan was shaken by the Turks' trebuchets and was full of dangers.
Fortunately, Xue Dingshan reacted in time and mobilized archers to avoid the crisis of Baiyun Pass being breached.
"The artillery army of the Turkic dog thieves is too powerful, we cannot let them attack."
Xue Dingshan gritted his teeth and said.
"General, the Turkic artillery force is now less than a hundred meters away from us. We must organize a defense as soon as possible!"
