The first thousand three hundred and fifty-eight chapters of the despair of the forbidden army
Thank you very much ‘csn69’ for your monthly ticket support.)
From the beginning, the Turks did not make any probing attacks and directly launched a fierce attack.
The first wave of arrows from the Turks started, and screams came from the city wall. It was the people who were participating in the defense of the city for the first time. They were inexperienced and did not know how to dodge.
After all, the county soldiers in Dayan City are border soldiers. They have fought against the Turks in the past, and their combat power is much stronger than the county soldiers in the interior. They are not even worse than the government soldiers, and may be stronger than the Forbidden Army with less combat experience.
After they escaped the first wave of arrows, following the general's orders, the Sui troops on the city head also shot arrows at the Turkic soldiers intensively like a rain of arrows.
Shooting from top to bottom, the advantage of being in a condescending position is obvious, and the Turks have no city walls to cover them. Although there are shields to cover them, a large number of Turkic soldiers are still shot down.
It's just that there are too many Turkic soldiers, and the death or injury of these people has no impact on their morale and morale at all, and even the speed of the attack of other Turkic soldiers does not slow down at all.
Fifty siege ladders were set up on the four walls of the city. These siege ladders were no worse than the siege ladders built by the Sui War Weapon Superintendent. They were not only strong, but also had iron hooks that could be hooked directly.
The walls were so stacked that the Sui army on top of the city couldn't push down the siege ladder immediately.
On each of the four city walls, more than 10,000 Turkic vanguards lined up to climb up and attack. The Sui army made overall arrangements in Yuwen Chengdu. Under the specific command of the county soldiers and generals, large rocks and wood were smashed down at the fastest speed.
Strings of Turkic soldiers were hit and fell to the ground screaming from the air, but new Turkic soldiers kept coming one after another to attack the city, appearing extremely brave and ignoring death.
During this process, the 10,000 Turkic soldiers on each side of the city were always fighting back with arrows to cover the Turkic soldiers' attack on the city.
The Turks are famous all over the world for their riding and archery skills. Thousands of people fired in volley, with arrows as dense as a net, shooting at the defenders on the city. From the beginning, the screams on the city top never stopped, and not only were they helping the attackers
The common people and county soldiers also began to suffer casualties, and the screams kept coming and going and never stopped.
I don’t know which tribe the Turks in the east city are from, but their archery skills are obviously better. The county soldiers on the top of the city here
The largest number of casualties were four to five hundred people who were shot by arrows. Moreover, they were pinned behind the parapet by the rain of Turkic arrows. They could not raise their heads, so they could only cover themselves with shields and shoot arrows in both directions.
This gave the Turkic soldiers who were attacking the city a chance. The first batch of Turkic soldiers rushed to the top of the city and began to fight in close combat with the Sui soldiers. The Turkic soldiers who rushed up were extremely brave. Although the county soldiers also fought to the death to kill the enemy.
, but failed to kill him for a while and rushed to the city. As a result, more and more Turkic soldiers rushed to the city.
Yuwen Chengdu did not expect that within an hour of attacking the city, the Turks would attack the city. Fortunately, he received rescue from Dongcheng and personally led a thousand forbidden troops to come. When he saw this situation, Yuwen Chengdu roared,
Rush directly into the Turks.
Yuwen Chengdu is known as the best master in the world. This is not said casually. He wields a gilt boring machine weighing more than 200 kilograms. He is so powerful that no Turk can block his blow without dying, and because the Turks are densely packed
, with one blow, everyone was knocked down.
In an instant, Yuwen Chengdu alone beat the hundreds of Turkic soldiers who rushed up, causing their flesh and blood to fly everywhere and their brains to burst.
The Turkic soldiers were shocked by his bravery and retreated one after another. Amidst the cheers of other Sui soldiers, they swarmed forward and fought bravely to kill the enemy. They soon killed all the hundreds of Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city.
Although he killed all the Turkic soldiers who rushed to the east city, Yuwen Chengdu's face became increasingly ugly. Less than an hour after the siege of the city, he personally killed the enemy. You must know that he was the commander-in-chief.
At this time, Yuwen Chengdu thought of Wang Junlin. If his junior brother was defending the city with his Far Eastern Army, he would never be forced to fight!
No, with Wang Junlin's methods, how could he let his enemies surround him in the city?
Yuwen Chengdu smiled bitterly and ordered ten thousand forbidden troops to prepare under the city and go to the top of the city to support the county soldiers at any time.
…
…
As time went by, the siege became extremely fierce, with arrows flying and corpses piling up. Both sides invested heavily in troops. The county government office was close to the North City, only seventy steps away from the city wall. Dense arrows streaked across the sky, and occasionally,
Arrows shot into the city were shot into the county government office.
At a certain moment, an eunuch was shot to death by a stray arrow, and he let out a mournful cry.
Li's screams caused chaos in the county government, and Yang Guang turned pale with fright. Under the protection of a large group of guards, he immediately led people to move to the prefect's mansion deep in the city.
With the support of the Forbidden Army, the battle situation at the top of the city gradually stabilized. Occasionally, Turks attacked the city and were surrounded and killed by the Sui army. However, in the process, the casualties of the Sui army naturally increased gradually.
This fight lasted for a full day, until after the sun went down in the evening, Shibi Khan, who had been standing on a watchtower behind the city to watch the battle, ordered the troops to withdraw.
As the troop withdrawal horn sounded, the Turks began to retreat like running water. There was no panic in the process. There were nearly 10,000 archers outside the city on all sides constantly suppressing the city.
The 80,000-strong siege army retreated like a tide, but the Sui army on the city did not cheer for victory. In today's siege battle, the Sui army had killed and wounded more than 5,000 people, more than 3,000 civilians, and one Turkic soldier.
There were more than ten thousand people, and almost everyone had a bloody corpse beside them. At this moment, the fear of death filled the hearts of every Sui soldier.
If the consumption continues at this rate, the 90,000 soldiers in the city will last for up to 20 days, and time is not calculated in this way. Since ancient times, in siege battles, the defenders in the city have never killed all the enemy troops outside the city before they advance in. When
When the number of garrison soldiers in the city is reduced to a certain level, it is no longer enough to defend the city, and when the morale of the soldiers is not good, the city will be easily broken.
Therefore, after careful calculation, the defenders in the city can only hold on for half a month.
In addition, what makes the commander-in-chief Yuwen Chengdu and the supervisor Pei Shiju feel even more heavy is that in today's battle, the morale of both the county soldiers and the imperial army has dropped sharply.
Especially the Forbidden Army. Although each of them is tall and powerful, equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, and their personal martial arts are not bad. When Yuwen Chengdu took them, they did not fail in their usual training, and their military pay was the highest in the entire Sui Dynasty.
They have been guarding Luoyang and Kyoto these years and rarely go to the battlefield. If they hadn't fought a battle when Yang Su rebelled last year, they would have never even been on the battlefield.
But today's situation is far more dangerous than when Yang Su besieged Luoyang last year, because Yang Su will surrender them, but this is not necessarily the case for the Turks. According to past practice, the Turks will attack those who have blocked them for more than three days.
