The first thousand three hundred and eighty-four chapters of the new style of play of the Turks
(I'm very, very sorry, I stopped updating for four days.)
Feng Zhongming finally got the courage and wanted to try his best to bite the Turkic soldier.
Thinking like this, Feng Zhongming roared hoarsely, used up his last bit of strength, and stood up with great difficulty.
But just when he staggered to his feet and looked at the Turkic soldier fiercely, an arrow flying from the city wall hit his right eye. He let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Then he was stepped on by the people behind him.
Whenever the first person stepped on him, a second person would appear. When the seventeenth person stepped on him, his body stopped twisting and his hoarse screams stopped.
Feng Zhongming died forever.
Every clan and every country has faced the invasion of foreign enemies since ancient times. There have been invincible heroes like Wang Junlin and cowardly, pitiful and pathetic people like Feng Zhongming.
Around Feng Zhongming's body, countless people were screaming, running, and shouting. The Turkic soldiers drove the captives of the Sui civilians, shooting bows and arrows, carrying ladders, and rushed towards the four-foot-high wall of Yanmen City...
…
The Turkic army would inevitably force the captured civilians to use them as cover to attack the city. Sui Emperor Yang Guang and his subordinates Pei Shiju, Dugu Changsu, Yu Shiji and other officials in Yanmen City did not expect it, but they never regarded this matter as a burden.
.
In their view, these untouchables did not take the initiative to come to Yanmen City to save them, and instead surrendered to the Turks. They deserved to die. Since they helped the Turks to attack the city, they should be shot to death.
Therefore, all the people who were forcibly driven by the Turks were like animals. A small number were beaten to death by the Turks who were responsible for the driving, and most of them were shot to death by the Sui troops on the city wall who were supposed to protect their safety.
Shibi Khan and all the Turks obviously did not expect that the people of the Sui Dynasty who were driven here did not have the slightest effect, and seemed to arouse many Sui soldiers on the top of Yanmen City to be even more desperate, so in the end
They still failed to attack the city and retreated leaving thousands of corpses behind.

In addition to sending 10,000 people to attack Wangjiapu, Shibi Khan forcibly ordered the troops to continue to attack Yanmen City. However, because the morale of the Turkic soldiers became low, the tribal leaders became more and more dissatisfied with Shibi Khan.
The Great Shibi Khan slightly changed his offensive strategy.
For most of the time, the Turkic army was no longer obsessed with breaking the city, but was obsessed with killing people with trebuchets and projectile bows and arrows.
On the first day of changing their strategy, Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Shiju and others discovered that the casualties of the Sui army defending the city began to increase. What made them even more worried was that it had been seven or eight days since Wang Junlin and other reinforcements from the Qinwang
He didn't show up. For this reason, Yang Guang's face became more and more gloomy, and various thoughts naturally came to his mind.
Dugu Changsu even gossiped a lot secretly with Yang Guang, mentioning that Wang Junlin wanted to use the Turks to kill the emperor, but in order to silence the world, he led an army to serve the king, which was just a show.
…………
…………
The Turkic army found that it was difficult to break the city in a short time. They could only break the city by taking advantage of the number of people and killing a large number of defenders until the defenders on the wall could not take care of them.
Therefore, there were some changes in the way the Turkic army continued to attack Yanmen City.
They no longer used saturated large-scale attacks, but mainly used feint attacks and flexible skirmish charges.
Large areas of charges around Yanmen City continued to appear, and then quickly retreated. What really caused the damage was the large-scale throwing of arrows, including the incoming rockets.
The defenders in the city had made preparations for fire prevention before, but in such an environment, once they were hit by a rocket and suffered arrow injuries and burns, most people would quickly lose their combat effectiveness.
Of course, the casualty rate of such bows and arrows on both sides is not high. The Turks have also shown their keenness in combat. Although the charging soldiers advance and then retreat, they always maintain a possible charging posture. This
In one day, they only launched real attacks on a few non-critical points in Yanmen City, and then they all retreated. Both sides were testing each other's nerves and resilience.
"Damn Turkic dogs, let them run here and there, let's wait and see who can outlast the other!" Yuwen Chengdu ran on the top of Yanmen City among the occasional arrows, cheering up the soldiers on the wall.
: "However, no one can take it lightly. Some of them are always carrying ladders and may attack at any time, so we must be ready to fight them hard at any time!"
In the middle of the night, although the casualties caused by the gunfire were not as high as when the Turks stormed the city, under such circumstances, everyone maintained a sense of tension. Among the defenders in Yanmen City, the accumulated mental pressure was generally not small.
.
In the middle of the night after arriving, when the defenders were most sleepy, the Turkic army launched a frontal attack like a tide. After several rounds of arrows that were the same as before, suddenly, the roar of killing came from all over the mountains and plains.
!
Under the gray sky, in an instant, 50,000 Turkic troops rushed out of their camp. Carrying wooden ladders and holding shields, they rushed towards Yanmen City. In front of the city wall, several vehicles with thick shields were seen.
The cart was pushed by soldiers and rolled towards the city gate.
The shouts of killing shook the wilderness, arrows were flying all over the sky, and the eight-oxen crossbows never stopped. The front line of soldiers stretched out, and countless people ran, climbed, and fought amidst the shouts, and then died.
The sound waves roared, and the roar of people around Yanmen City ignited the entire night.
The fire arrows coming back and forth were like fireflies flying in the night sky, illuminating people's vision one after another. A large number of Turkic soldiers rushed across the ground holding shields, some of them carrying ladders, and in the sparse poplar forest behind them, the fire burned into a sea.
, the archers who lit the arrows rushed out one after another, shot out the arrows, and then turned back. At this time, you will see a large number of light spots like locusts falling on the Yanmen City Wall.
Covering blows fell on the high points of the city wall one after another. Too many fire arrows fell on the city wall, and the rolling logs and other defensive utensils placed on it, as well as the clothes on the soldiers, even burned.
The Turkic soldiers ran outside the wall with shields, and only launched sudden attacks at specific points. Ladders were put up, and the crowd swarmed up. Inside Yanmen City, the defensive soldiers poured out boiling fuel.
Then a rocket can instantly ignite a fire. Although not many Turks were killed or burned, the fire caused a lot of panic among the Turkic army.
