Two hundred and twenty loyal bones buried everywhere
While rocks were falling on the city head and Yu Gaogao knelt down under Dunmao's horse, the attack and defense of Bingyuan City did not stop for a moment. Some of the slaves under the city tried to flee backwards, but they were all killed by the divine arrows from the Taiqige cavalry.
They were shot on the spot by hand. Dozens of corpses with their skulls pierced by arrows lay on the ground, cutting off all slave warriors' thoughts of retreating. Ants with climbing equipment climbed onto the city, while the people below the city used their hands under the protection of cowhide shields.
All tools were used to try to carve a hole in the city wall.
However, such a shield could block the arrows of the two stone bows on the city, but it could not stop falling rocks and rolling wood. The material of tightly sewn cowhide was also easily ignited by kerosene.
Slave warriors from the Taichige tribe were dying every moment. Even the cavalry generals of the Taichige tribe who were holding the battle behind them could not stand it. They led their cavalrymen who were good at shooting to ride horses back and forth under the Bingyuan City.
Shooting against the city. This was a great advantage for Yao's sergeant on the city with perforations on the battlements, but the cavalry shooting below the city all practiced archery from shooting hares and gophers since they were young. Even in the bumpy weather
Even on horseback, he could shoot arrows accurately into the holes in the city that could barely stretch out an arm.
"Who ordered these people to go out? None of them should be lost here." Seeing the flying arrows going up and down the city, Dunmao said angrily, "You just ignore the Lord's order like this.
?!"
Although they rode back and forth to shoot at Yao's sergeants on the city, these unprotected cavalry could not gain any benefit. However, the archers of the Jinzhou Army on the city did not seem to expect that the barbarians would dare to attack under the city.
With the courage to shoot each other, the rain of arrows on the city was suppressed, something that neither side had expected. However, they could throw down rocks and cans of kerosene from the battlements without sticking their heads out.
No matter how brave the slave warriors are, few can climb to the top of the city. In this way, the iron awls made by the craftsmen of the Taiqige tribe to climb the city cannot withstand the heavy load of repeated use, and gradually begin to break. The slaves below the city do not doubt that another half of them will
At that time, they had to dig their fingers into the cracks in the bricks to go up to the city. This was simply a way to die.
Taichige's cavalry general's eyes were red, and he ordered his horse to be covered and hit the city gate. Even if he hit the city gate, he would still be able to break through the city. However, Dun Mao, who came in a hurry with more than ten cavalry, acted as a blocker.
In front of his horse, the warriors on the horse also dismounted and captured the cavalry corps from the horse.
"Even slaves don't deserve to die like this!" More than a dozen warriors used shields to protect their companions and generals. The general who was pushed down under the shield pointed at the slave warriors who were still trying to occupy the city and roared, "They too
Should we, the people of Taiqi Ge, be used as targets for the Yao people in the city?"
When the companion knew that this general had always shown pity for the slaves in his tent, he had always been the backbone of the Taiche tribe who supported Lord Dunmo in forming a team of slave warriors. All the able-bodied slaves in his tent were selected and sent to the slaves.
Go to practice with the samurai team.
The nobles in the ministry all laughed at him. Although slaves were just like cattle and horses in the eyes of these people, they were considered their own belongings in their own tents. Who would give away their own things so willingly? Not to mention him.
He is not considered a figure in the ranks of the nobility, so wasting his family fortune like this is definitely not a wise move.
The general is considered a stubborn figure even among his faction. His stubbornness was generously rewarded after the slave warriors formed an army and swept through the tribes around the Taiqige tribe. The general who was originally just a centurion was able to lead a thousand people.
The cavalry is majestic, it is Dunmao Chao and Ladd who follow these
A little recompense for the beneficiary.
Dunmao's actions today were already contrary to the Cavalry Department's perception of him. In his eyes, the leader of the Taichige Department who was decisive in killing and killing should not be treating human life as trivially as he is today!
"Thousands of people are dead, and there are only a few who can reach the top of the city!" The general whose cheek was scratched by a stray arrow struggled to get up, pulled out an arrow still inserted in his breastplate, and threw it to the ground.
Blood seeped out from the holes in the armor. "Armor like Taiqi Gebu is the best! It can't stop the arrows of the archers on the city, let alone the rags these people wear!"
"Master! Master!" He waved vigorously in the direction of North Dunmao, "Master, is this the future of the Taiqiang tribe that you want? Look, Master, the future of the Taiqiang tribe has been cut off under this city wall.
It’s almost done! Get out, get out! The soldiers and horses of all the tribes are watching behind us!"
"Go back to our grassland! The Taiqiuge tribe will still be the strongest tribe on the grassland. It won't take long before the entire grassland belongs to our Taiqige tribe!" He shouted at the top of his voice, "Withdraw! Withdraw."
! Our hard work over the years should not be wasted like this..."
Suddenly he couldn't make a sound, his chest was empty, and when he looked down, the place where his chest used to be was now empty. He didn't understand what was going on, and then he fell forward, and everything turned dark and gloomy.
The movements of the more than ten cavalrymen were clearly visible in Bingyuan City. In addition, the more than ten cavalrymen dismounted and used their shields to protect the barbarian who was obviously a general. The old soldiers in the city who were manipulating crossbows did not hesitate to pay for it.
A giant arrow worth more than ten taels of silver was exchanged for the life of this barbarian. The direction of the giant arrow used in every bed crossbow in the city had to be reported to the city guard yamen, which was an embarrassing thing for these old soldiers.
It's a headache, so be careful when handling these giant arrows. If you shoot one arrow and fail to achieve success, wouldn't it be just a waste of more than ten taels of silver?
This arrow pierced through a shield of the cavalry general of the Taichi Gebu and tore off half of the body of one of the Taichi Gebu warriors. Finally, after piercing the chest, the arrow shaft was still deep into the ground.
The companions ignored his body and took out their handguns to order the cavalry to withdraw into the formation. Also abandoned were nearly three hundred cavalry who were lying on the ground and could no longer mount their horses and draw their bows.
The situation on Bingyuan City was not much better. Most of the bows and arrows shot by cavalry shot through the shooting holes hit the faces and throats of the archers on the city. Many people had not waited for the medical officer to take a look.
After he died, his body had no time to be carried down to the city, so he pulled a piece of white cloth over it and covered it. If someone walked through this city wall at this moment, they would definitely smell the strong smell of urine. Many soldiers who had been training for several months before going to the city were killed miserably.
These archers were so frightened that they peed their pants, and were scolded and kicked aside by the old soldiers. These people will not become a fighting force in a few days. They will gradually become numb to their movements after seeing them more often.
It has to be said that the slave warriors below the city are far more brave and skilled than the Jinzhou soldiers above the city. They can still maintain such combat power and continue to attack the city even after 23 out of 10 casualties. If the two archers change positions, this must be the case.
At that time, the slave warriors of the barbarians were already pursuing the victory.
"Soldiers are like dogs and sheep, even if generals are like dragons, they will definitely not be tigers and wolves." After seeing the chaos in the city, Song Zhiwen shook his head and said, "The candidate hundred-man team went to the city to collect the corpses, and the timid soldiers gathered together.
The formation is registered. Now is the time to employ people. Those who are really afraid of fighting should
He can be punished as a deserter, and after the war is over, he can be punished as a soldier or as a hard laborer, but I don’t want to see anyone die under the sword of his own people."
Song Zhiwen knew very well that among the more than 10,000 Jinzhou Prefecture troops in Bingyuan City, except for half of them being old soldiers from the original South Camp and Dong Camp, only one of the other five people who were willing to join the army did so, and the rest were not recruited by the local government.
Those who surrendered to the army through coercion and inducement by the government officials were the strong men who were forcibly recruited.
The graves of soldiers who died in the war this spring are still covered with new soil, so how can we make people willingly surrender to the army?
Loyalists are buried everywhere in the country, and the good men nurtured by the land of Jinzhou threw their heads and blood for Dayao and the emperor's ambition to march north. In Song Zhiwen's view, even if no one among the people of Jinzhou was willing to surrender, it was not surprising to him.
It was expected that after his predecessor used Jinzhou Erlang to preserve his position in front of Emperor Dayao who was about to conquer the country in person.
The imperial court has a fault with Jinzhou, and the generals of Jinzhou have a fault with the sons of Jinzhou.
Song Zhiwen still couldn't figure out what means the leader of the Taiqige tribe below the city would use to break through the towering and solid walls of Bingyuan City. If they wanted to break through the city gate, the slaves had already tried it.
However, when they found that the short blades in their hands could only leave a faint white mark on the copper-covered solid wood city gate, the slave warriors gave up this plan and chose to continue to use the rough iron awl to climb the city wall.
, the people holding shields under the city used their strength to dig into the city, and the bricks of the round city were so strong that they could break the crudely made awls in their hands.
Song Zhiwen did not make any response. With the current military configuration of Bingyuancheng, even the mobilization of a hundred troops would be inverted and the other would be ignored. Responding to changes with the same stability is a method used by the strong and the most desperate among soldiers.
, there is no better way, he knows that a crisis is coming but does not know where it will come from.
Some slave warriors collapsed, yelled like crazy and fled around the city. Even if they were lucky enough not to be shot to death by the Dayao sergeants on the city, the bows and arrows and sabers of the Taijige cavalrymen would not let go.
If they pass them, all they have to choose is whose arrow they will die under.
Everyone around Dunmao was expecting the leader of the Taiga tribe to make even the slightest reaction to withdraw his troops, but there was no clue. Dunmao Chaoji Ladd's expression was as hard as stone like his heart.
.
He was waiting, waiting for the gift that Yu Gao Gao gave him to be opened by the people from the Taiqi Ge Department. He could imagine that the process of untying the rope on the gift was complicated, but he would eventually treat Yuan Gao Gao as Yu Gao Gao.
There was no doubt about the gift given to him. After all, Yu Gaogao told him how to open and round the hard shell of the gift. This method was so simple that he even doubted whether he was lying, but at this moment this cowardly
Yao has been tamed like a loyal dog.
All you have to do is wait. The deaths and injuries of the slave warriors in the city are just a small price to pay for opening this gift. Dun Mao will not flinch because of these small prices.
