There was a forest of spears piercing out from the city wall, stabbing the elite Turks who tried to climb in to the top of the wall. In the distance, spots of light rushed out from outside the city. When they tried to fire at the top of the wall, the people from inside the city wall rushed towards them. The archers also fired fire arrows at the opponent's group of archers.
Sometimes the Turkic soldiers shot faster, and sometimes it was the defenders of Yanmen City. When the firelight fell on the wall, and the Song soldiers who could not escape were holding their wounds and rolling on the ground screaming, there was another burst of fire outside. The attack presses forward.
The wounded were still rolling on the ground, and the reinforcements were still far away. The soldiers behind the city wall rushed out from the bunker and started fighting with the Turkic soldiers who tried to storm in.

"Your Majesty, according to the military intelligence office's comprehensive analysis of the offensive and defensive battles in Yanmen City in the past few days, Yanmen City can no longer be defended, and it can last for three days at most." Shen Guo was in the commander's tent at the Sui reinforcement camp. Er Xiang Wang Junlin regularly reported the situation of Yanmen City every day.
"Yanmen City has lasted much longer than I expected." Wang Junlin said with some emotion, "What is the specific situation now?"
"Your Majesty, after the Turks changed their siege method, there will not be a big gap near the city wall, but the pressure has gradually appeared. Especially after the Turkic army used arrows without hesitation, the defenders in the city will be suppressed. ." Shen Guoer said quickly.
Wang Junlin understood that even in the era of cold weapons, wars in many cases were still fought to see who had the money.
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "The Turks can't hold on for long if they use their bows and arrows so wantonly, and the combat effectiveness of the Turkic cavalry without arrows will be reduced by at least another 30%."
Of course he knew that this strategy, which seemed to be very beneficial to the Turks, was actually an order given by Nie Xiaoyu to Shibi Khan.

The night wind howls, day and night come and go, and morning comes.
This morning in Yanmen City was extremely quiet. Except for the drizzle and the fighting in the middle of the night, people always needed to rest and eat, whether outside or inside the city.
However, when the peace is always short-lived, the city is responsible for transporting the defense equipment. They have also been busy all night. Some people were also killed and injured by the arrows thrown in from outside the city. There are horns across the not tall city wall in the distance. The voice came faintly and suddenly.
A huge object was passing by in the sky. There was a dull thud, and in the slightly bright sky and drifting snow, it seemed as if a wind suddenly passed by. Many people shrank. They felt that the earth was moving, and someone was far away. Shouting "Ah" everywhere...
Boom…………Boom boom boom boom boom…………
The sound of the siege reached its peak in an instant, and the terrifying sound flooded the city, shaking everything it touched...
Even when eating, the Turks would use trebuchets to throw stones to create a tense atmosphere for the defenders, in order to wear down the defenders and leave them no time to rest.
On the surface, it seems that Shibi Khan was wise and wise, and he clearly saw the shortcomings of Yanmen City's insufficient troops. The leaders and generals of various tribes were very convinced of this method of play.
However, in order to find and move all kinds of stubborn rocks, as well as the troops constantly sent to support Wangjiapu, the Turks used almost all their troops. Everyone was constantly consuming their physical strength. Even if they were still alive, they would not have much strength left in the end. .
The result was that the Turkic army, like the defenders of Yanmen City, had not had enough rest and was exhausted from fighting.
In addition, because the Turks are now in short supply of food and grass, the food and accommodation outside the city are far less good than those of the defenders in Yanmen City, and their physical effort in attacking the city is much greater than that of the defenders. In the end, the Turks army is much more exhausted than the defenders.
.

For ordinary soldiers on both sides, the days were like years. Three more days passed in the blink of an eye. In these three days, both the defenders and the Turkic army slept less than five hours in total.
In three days, the Turkic army lost nearly 20,000 men in front of Yanmen City, but they unknowingly lost nearly 10,000 men in Wangjiapu.
Outside the city wall that is hundreds of feet long, the Turkic army is attacking like a sea wave, but inside the city wall, the exhausted Song soldiers are like a colony of ants going up and down crazily. Now their strength is less than 20,000, and the defense on the city wall is no longer sufficient.
Be thorough.
The Turks launched a fierce attack on the entire southern city wall. The madness was enough to scare the defenders of each section of the city wall. However, the Turkic army also used this furious offensive to test the weak points on the city wall.
To be more precise, they actively created weak points and tried to break down the defense of the entire city wall with the amazing fighting consciousness of their warriors.
During the fierce attack, the cavalry of the Turkic army also galloped under the city, suppressing the city wall with high-density arrows.
Once the defense on a certain section of the city wall becomes slightly exhausted, the siege force will rush towards this side crazily, and once the Turkic army soldiers rush to the top of the city.
The torn hole will immediately bring relatively large casualties. In the short half-day of attacking the city in the morning, the Turks have achieved this feat four times. However, the casualties of the same Turkic army are even greater, so huge.
From the beginning to Bi Khan, every soldier of the Turkic army felt chilled. The proportion of their casualties was too high.
If it weren't for the fact that they were already riding a tiger, and Nie Xiaoyu was secretly controlling something, the Turkic army would have retreated decisively under normal circumstances.
…………
…………
Near noon, more than 2,000 Turkic soldiers finally succeeded in scaling the wall, but they did not hold out for long before they were killed on the top of the city.
This is because Yang Guang handed over a thousand masters of the Ouchi guards to Yuwen Chengdu, and the latter used these more than a thousand masters as a reserve mobile team to provide support at any time. These Turks were killed by these masters of the Ouchi.
Dead. On a field battlefield, more than a thousand masters may not be more powerful than a thousand Turkic cavalry, but on a crowded and chaotic city, more than a thousand masters of Ouchi guards can easily defeat more than two thousand.
Killed by a Turkic soldier.
Flying stones and arrows occasionally crossed the city wall and smashed into the crowd of people on the inside of the city wall who were helping to transport supplies to defend the city.
Naturally, the trebuchets used by the Turkic army could not compare with those of the Sui army in terms of accuracy or range. Therefore, not many could throw stones into the city. Even if they could, they often ventured into the range of the bow.
, but almost every time there is a possibility of casualties.
Compared with the Turkic army, which is the siege party and can set up ladders anywhere outside the city, the stone steps up and down the city wall are often fixed. When the fighting intensity above the city wall is too high, the defensive equipment needs to be replenished at any time.
This resulted in a large number of people transporting ordnance being crowded on the stone steps, and they often became victims of stray arrows or stones.
But apart from subconsciously avoiding on the spot or finding a wooden board to hold up, there is no other way to evacuate, because once their work stops, the defense on the city wall will be in danger, which may directly lead to a section of the city wall being breached by the Turks. .
In fact, the Turkic army's crazy attack and astonishing fighting power have frightened almost all the people who helped. If it weren't for the prefect of Yanmen County who was responsible for transporting supplies, he decisively ordered to kill the first few people who fled. Most of them have probably become birds and animals and scattered.
From noon yesterday to noon today, for a whole day, the defensive strings on the city walls surrounding Yanmen City were always tight. The soldiers responded to everything hastily and dizzyingly, and the city defense was just like Shen Guoer gave Wang Junlin As reported, it could collapse at any time.
But...it didn't collapse in the end. To be precise, when it was about to collapse, Wang Junlin led King Qin's army and appeared.
