A team came from the direction of the Khan's tent, all wearing black cloaks with iron armor on their chests, crooked knives hanging on their waists, and long whips in their hands. The leader of the man was bald on the front half of his head.
Only the back half of his head was tied into three braids hanging down on his chest to show that his hair was black and he was healthy.
The men in black cloaks formed a long line on the street. They were the supervisory team composed of Erwei Khan's personal army, driving away the cowards hiding in the house.
Li Siye's team was too conspicuous, and was discovered by the supervisory team of the Personal Guard. The half-bald man swung his long whip at them and cursed angrily: "You bunch of stinking rats! What is worthy of a wilted donkey! Give it to me."
Get on the city wall, damn it! Get on the wall, I really want to chop your heads off with a sharp knife!"
Giza nodded and bent down, dragging Li Siye towards the city wall, and explained to him in a low voice: "This is the governor sent by the Khan to oversee the war, and he has the power of life and death. We must not offend him.
, hurry up to the city wall!"
Li Siye and his entourage were beaten by the whips of the personal guards and ran towards the city wall, like a herd of sheep being driven away. There were many stragglers in the distance who were driven out of their houses by the supervisory team.
No wonder Erwei Khan didn't dare to use the flexibility of the cavalry to go out of the city to fight the Tang army. It's no wonder that such a team like chasing strong men can fight.
They surged towards the city wall in the crowded crowd, and the supervisory team waved their whips below to drive them away. After everyone climbed onto the city wall, they dispersed at the crenellations of the female walls.
Li Siye stood behind the parapet, overlooking the Liuhua Formation of the Tang Army and the Phalanx of the Bukhanna Army on the long slope below.
The muffled thunder gave people a sense of oppression as if a mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building. After waiting for a while, the Tang army began to fire crossbows again, and the Tuqishi soldiers on the city wall also began to fire arrows back.
Li Siye took off the long bow from behind and held the arrow in his hand. He would turn around from time to time to see if there was anyone supervising the battle team behind him. If anyone noticed, he would open the bow slightly and shoot the arrow out, so that the force would not fall into the Tang army's camp.
Go in.
Bai Xiaode, who was standing next to him, also took out a long bow from the ground. He was not good at doing this kind of errands. He only held the bow string, but he seemed too confused.
Pibatutun, who was supervising the battle, whipped out a sharp long whip, leaving bloody whip marks on Bai Xiaode's cheek. The pain made him gasp, and the unknown fire in his heart couldn't help but surge up and turn violently.
He turned around and grabbed the handle of the scimitar at his waist with his right hand.
"You bitch! What are you looking at! How dare you fool me, Pibatutun!"
Bai Xiaode wanted to draw the knife from his waist, but Li Siye reached out to hold his shoulder and whispered: "A little impatience will ruin a big plan, don't be impulsive."
Giza quickly knelt on one knee and explained to Pibat Tutun: "Tutun, we are responsible for guarding the baggage and herdsmen. We have never been on the battlefield. This was the first time he saw such a scene, and he was so scared that he was stunned."
Pibatutun sneered cruelly: "Have you never seen a city siege? Wait until the Tang army climbs to the top of the city and chops off your head, then you will have truly seen it!"
He suppressed the anger that cut the opponent in half, took back his steps angrily, took out a long bow and arrows and shot arrows down the city like Li Siye did, controlling the force not to hit anyone, and also avoiding the flying arrows.
.
The Tang army's two attacks were all feints. After retreating, they continued to shoot crossbow arrows at the city wall. The more than 20 people stood on the top of the city, always worried about being hit by arrows from their own people.
Soldiers were constantly shot through by arrows, and someone stepped forward to lift them down. Pibatutun turned pale with fright and stayed away from this section of the city wall.
Bai Xiaode shifted his gaze and stared at the back of Pibatutun. Li Siye relaxed a little and squatted lazily under the female wall. He turned his head and saw Bai Xiaode's eyes and asked him: "What are you looking at?"
"That Tutun, I want to write down his appearance. When the city is destroyed tonight, I will take revenge."
He has such a strong vengeance mentality, but Li Siye agrees with it. As long as it doesn't affect the battle situation, it doesn't matter even if he skins Piba Tutun.
Similar arrow strikes from the Tang army came almost every hour, causing the soldiers to relax and suddenly become tense again. This made the Tuqishi people put all their focus on the city wall, and they did not have to worry about being exposed and attacking.
The riots caused by the city caused chaos in the management of the team's superiors and subordinates, making it impossible to form a tight unity.
"The centurion has arrived on the city wall!"
Giza hurriedly pointed to Li Siye not far away, and saw a short and stocky man with a black cloak behind him ascending to the top of the city. His eyes were drooping like an old camel, and he was scanning the soldiers at the top of the city.
Oops! He, the fake team leader, was about to reveal his secret. Li Siye looked nervous. He looked down and saw the cloak on his body, and hurriedly took it off and hid it in his arms.
He whispered to Giza: "If Gu Duohe asks, just say that Captain Su Ke was hit by an arrow just now and fell off the battlement."
Gu Duohao strode forward, and he caught sight of Giza immediately with sharp eyes. He stepped forward and took a few glances with his eyebrows raised, and almost caught Gisa's eyes before he collapsed and walked out with a bald head.
Li Siye turned his back to them, clenched the hilt of the knife at his waist, and winked at Bai Xiaode and Yuan Tao beside him. If the situation was not right, he would kill him and throw him off the city wall.
"I asked why I couldn't find you. It turned out that I was driven to the city wall. I was even driven to the city wall." He glanced at Li Siye, Yuan Tao and others who were standing on the left and right: "Why are they all looking like strangers?"
?Where is Su Kezhai? Where did he die? "
Giza gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice: "Su Ke promoted, Su Ke promoted the team leader. He was shot by the Tang army's crossbow arrows and fell under the city wall."
"Really dead?" Gu Duohe leaned out from the crevice of the wall, as if looking for Su Ke's body. Li Siye, Yuan Tao, Bai Xiaode and the other three people had some kind of impulse. As long as they picked up this guy's legs from behind, they would directly
If you throw him off the city wall, even if you don't die, you will be shot into a sieve by the Tang army arrayed in front of the city with bows and crossbows.
Bai Xiaode raised his eyebrows frequently, indicating that as long as Li Siye gave the order, he would rush forward and carry it out personally. Li Siye looked around at the surrounding Tuqi Shiren, and stopped this bold behavior with his eyes in time.
Gu Duoyu withdrew his upper body, patted Giza's shoulder and said: "Since Su Kezhai is dead, you will be the team leader from now on." He looked at Li Siye and others suspiciously, patted his head and said: "
Have I damaged my brain by drinking recently? Why do so many people look like strangers? Giza, what’s going on?”
Giza suddenly froze on the spot, feeling that the blood all over his body was cold from head to toe. Li Siye could not understand the Turkic language, but he did not feel the danger in it. Bai Xiaode quietly stood behind him and quietly drew out the scimitar from his waist.
It's just a question of death.
"Guduoyu Centurion, they are all members of our group, but you don't pay much attention to them. They are indeed not strangers."
Guduoya slapped Giza's shoulder hard again, almost knocking his soul away.
"Get your team together! I'm going over there."
Giza breathed a sigh of relief and leaned softly against the wall. Li Siye and others were also shocked, feeling that today's dangers were coming one after another, almost breaking the bottom line of their nerves.
The sunset gradually sets, and the last golden light shines on the city top. The tight strings in everyone's heads gradually relax. Once darkness falls, it is the time for them to take action.
The people who had been standing on the city during the day withdrew, and there were special troops on duty at night, which were much more elite than the team that defended the city during the day. Li Siye led the team to blend in with the crowd and return to the flat-roofed house where they were stationed.
After everyone entered the courtyard, they immediately sent people to the forage yard to find Duan Xiushi and others. The plan to capture the city gate tonight was about to begin.
