As a result, the Turkic soldiers attacked the city more and more often, and they kept fighting madly with the Sui army on the city, and even almost broke the city several times.
However, Turkic casualties are becoming faster and more numerous.
At this time, Shibi Khan gave an order, and another 40,000 soldiers began to attack. It was still the same style of attack as before, half of them attacked the city, and the other half covered it, and kept shooting arrows at the top of the city.
The Sui soldiers at the top of the city found that the Turks' arrow rain prevented them from getting close to the city wall to counterattack, so they retreated a foot into the city wall, stretched their bows and fired downwards. Anyway, the Turks seemed to be going crazy. There were always densely packed Turks under the city.
You can shoot Turks casually without looking.
Moreover, the Turks never had any other siege weapons except siege ladders, and Yuwen Chengdu led people to develop a way to crack the siege ladders.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a huge siege ladder with a width of three feet was set up on the top of the city. Thick iron hooks hooked the city wall, and hundreds of Turkic soldiers climbed up frantically.
The Sui soldiers lifted up the wood and rocks and threw them down. The Turkic soldiers screamed and rolled down the wood and boulders.
Two burly Sui soldiers used sledgehammers to smash the siege ladder on both sides. As the iron hooks passed across the city wall, they made a harsh creaking sound.
The siege ladder fell off from the frame, which resulted in the siege ladder missing two steps and making it impossible to climb the city. Under the joyful cheers of the Sui army officers at the top of the city, the Turkic soldiers rolled down the ladder one after another and fell half to death. Even if they were alive, they would be killed by the Turks behind them.
The soldiers trampled him to death.
But the Turkic soldiers quickly came up with countermeasures. They used pig iron to fix the ladder rungs, so that the Sui army's hammers had no effect.
However, Yuwen Chengdu found someone to make big iron forks again, and also asked the craftsmen in the city to rush to build many. They bent the iron hooks, and dozens of soldiers used the big iron forks to push the ladder outwards, and the ladder broke away from the city head.
Turn outwards and down.
The two sides continued to use various siege methods and countermeasures to engage in bloody battles. The Sui and Turks continued to die, and nearly 20,000 people from both sides died every day.
Just at noon that day, the drum sound in the Turkic camp became dull and slow, 'dong-dong-dong!' Every heavy blow was painful.
My heart trembled.
"General, look!" A soldier from Yuwen Chengdu pointed at the Turkic camp in the distance and shouted with fear on his face.
All the Sui soldiers were stunned, their faces turned ugly, and they looked into the distance in horror. Yuwen Chengdu also saw it.
Dozens of behemoths were launched from the Turkic camp.
It turned out to be a three-foot-high nest cart. Each nest cart was pulled by hundreds of horses and slowly drove towards the city wall, just like a giant monster.
These high-end giant siege equipment could only be built by the craftsman battalion of the Ministry of Industry of the Sui Dynasty, but the Han craftsmen captured by the Turks also built them.
Yuwen Chengdu looked gloomy and ugly. He turned around and shouted: "Get on the crossbow, hurry up, tie kerosene on it."
The only heavy defensive weapon of the Sui army in Yanmen City was bed crossbows, large arrows up to three feet long, with a range of more than 300 steps. However, there are not many such bed crossbows in Yanmen City, so I wonder if they can deal with these few.
With ten chariots, Yuwen Chengdu's heart was full of worry, and he wished he could lead his army directly out of the city to kill. With his character, he actually preferred to kill the enemy in the field.

In front of the Turkic camp, Shibi Khan stood on the watchtower, surrounded by dozens of tribal leaders and generals, watching the battle from a distance. There was a strange and inexplicable look in his eyes, and he looked very haggard and tired.
, I feel that my spirit has been greatly consumed.
But no matter what Shibi Khan was thinking and what strange changes had happened to him, he had an angry look on his face at this time, and his anger could no longer be suppressed. He roared loudly: "We could have conquered Yanmen City in one day.
After fighting for seven days, Yanmen City was still unable to be conquered. The idiot Wutou easily lost Cangmen County, not to mention the whole army was almost annihilated. Damn it, come here, give me all the people who escaped from Wutou
killed."
The commander of the Golden Wolf Guards agreed and sent a team of Golden Wolf Guards to kill all the hundreds of Turkic soldiers who had escaped from Cangmen County.
Seeing this, the leaders and generals of the Turkic tribes nearby did not intercede from beginning to end. On the one hand, Shibi Khan risked his life and was furious, and they did not want to get into trouble. On the other hand, Wutou only had the 20,000 troops. As a result,
There are only a few hundred people left. After returning,
The women and children of the tribe, as well as cattle and sheep, and large tracts of pasture can just be divided among them.
"Now the army of King Qin of the Sui Dynasty has arrived, and we have already paid the price of more than 70,000 casualties. If we cannot capture Yang Guang in the Yanmen Battle this time, it will be a failure for us, but as long as Yang Guang is in our hands, those who
The Sui army did not dare to make any changes, because we can use the Sui emperor as a hostage. When the time comes, the Sui army will surrender to the rat weapon and will be easily defeated by us. The entire great rivers and mountains north of the Yellow River in the Great Sui Dynasty will be our racecourse.
"When Shibi Khan discovered that the crazy attacks had continued for seven days, and the casualties were heavy, morale was a little low, so he loudly encouraged the leaders and generals of each tribe.
The younger brother of Shibi Khan stood up and said: "Khan, although the Sui army resisted fiercely, they also suffered heavy casualties. Now they no longer have the strength to rotate. In two days at most, they will collapse. By then we can
It’s easy to break the city, so please don’t be impatient, Khan, the Emperor of Sui will kneel at the Khan’s feet sooner or later.”
Shibi Khan nodded. It was indeed the case. As long as he kept attacking the city, the Sui army's strength would inevitably be exhausted. Moreover, he also had a mission that made him extremely conflicted, but he couldn't refuse. He wanted to consume as much as possible.
The military strength of the Sui Dynasty.
"Pass my order, all 20,000 men from Ula tribe will go up and cooperate with Chaocha to attack the city!" Shibi Khan ordered loudly.
As soon as his voice fell, the face of the leader of the Ula tribe changed. Just as he was about to say something, a spy suddenly came galloping from a distance and shouted loudly from a distance: "Khan, as soon as the Sui people support the army from Cang
Men County is coming this way quickly."
"The reinforcements from the Sui army arrived so quickly." The tribal leaders looked solemn and started talking among themselves.
"How many reinforcements from the Sui army came?" Shibi Khan asked with a frown.
At this time, the scout jumped off his horse, knelt under the watchtower, and said loudly: "Report to the Khan, the Sui army only came with less than 20,000 people."
"With less than 20,000 people, have you seen whose flag it is?" Shibi Khan did not panic. They still had an army of more than 300,000 people. Even if all Sui army reinforcements arrived, he was confident that he could defeat the Sui army.
"Reporting to Khan, it's the 20,000 cavalry of the Far Eastern Army's Whirlwind Battalion led by King Qin An of the Sui Dynasty." The scout immediately replied loudly.
