Chapter 109: No Consciousness to Be a Prisoner
In the second half of the night, Tang Han's "reinforcements" finally arrived. In addition to the left-behind personnel, everyone followed Tang Han to the south gate to welcome the reinforcements.
Although there were only more than 2,000 people, the military was rigorous and the unstoppable and murderous aura made everyone praise it. Especially when seeing the 100 crossbows and 100 catapults, everyone felt relieved.
You should know that in the era without artillery, crossbows and catapults are equivalent to the status of artillery and are absolutely powerful tools in war. Especially for the defender of the city, it has both the protection of the city wall and such sharp counterattack weapons, which is naturally a nightmare for the siege.
But in order not to let the Beidi people discover it, reinforcements also quietly entered the city.
Tang Han placed them in the barracks of the city defense center for one night, and ordered Ji Gang to start building a new barracks in the open space in the south gate.
Of course, this is also to cover up. Tang Han will have to do it himself when the construction is built.
After settling down the reinforcements, everyone dispersed and rested.
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, when Tang Han was just getting up and was holding a bowl of millet porridge for breakfast, he heard a whimpering horn sound from the top of the city, which was a signal that the enemy began to attack.
Tang Han finished breakfast after a few seconds, grabbed the iron arch on the back of the horizontal knife and walked out the door.
When he reached the door, Zhang Long had already brought his mount, and Tang Han jumped on his horse and headed towards the north gate.
When I arrived on the northern city wall, Ba Hong had already arrived. His eyes looked red and he must have not had a good rest last night.
"Your Majesty, the people of Beidi divided three troops and horses to go towards our east gate, west gate and south gate, obviously trying to surround us."
Although he was surrounded, Ba Hong's tone was very relaxed, and he was obviously full of confidence in defending the city.
Everyone knew Tang Han's identity and reinforcements came. When they went to know that more reinforcements would arrive in the future, everyone was naturally full of confidence.
According to the arrangement last night, Ba Hong guarded the north gate, Ji Gang guarded the south gate, Li Qingzhu guarded the west gate, and Gao Zhandao guarded the east gate.
Tang Han himself takes the center to manage the overall situation.
Tang Han nodded and began to carefully observe the formation of the Beidi people.
There were tens of thousands of Beidi people who stayed outside the North Gate. Obviously, this was their main force, and it also means that the main attack direction they chose was the North Gate direction.
The other three directions are just monitoring.
"These barbarians don't know what it means to dare to attack the city if they surround three and one, they are really looking for death!" Tang Han sneered and continued to observe.
In ancient times, when siege, one side of the city was generally surrounded by three sides, and the left side was naturally for the enemy to escape. If the defenders knew that they still had hope of escaping, they would naturally not defend their entire efforts, which would naturally be much easier for the siege.
If you block all the roads and the trapped beasts are still fighting, let alone people? The defenders saw that there was no way out to retreat. Since that was the case, it would be better to fight to the death. Even if they were to die, they would have to take a cushion.
In this way, the difficulty of siegeing the city will increase a lot, and even if you capture the city, it will be a lot of casualties and it will not be worth the loss.
Seeing the Beidi people dismounted and lifted the ladders out of the formation. With Tang Han's eyesight, he naturally saw that these ladders were made temporarily, rough and ugly, and some even had leaves on them, which were obviously made temporarily by cutting down nearby trees.
There were about forty or fifty ladders, and a few strange things were launched behind them. Tang Han looked at them for a long time before he recognized that the thing should be a catapult.
However, his ugly and rough appearance made Tang Han very suspicious that this thing would be damaged if it could be fired by a few stones.
The city walls of Beidijun are more than three meters high, and the moats under the city are more than one meters wide. Although they are incomparable to the defense specifications of many ancient Chinese cities, they are also considered a strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in this world.
If the Beidi people who were not good at siegeing the cities wanted to use this temporary broken thing to build a new thing, if their leader had not been mentally damaged, there would be other reasons.
Tang Han pondered for a moment and ordered Zhang Long: "Go and bring the captives of the Beidi people here."
Zhang Long took the order and left.
Soon, the captives with their hands tied back were brought.
It was at night when she was arrested and she couldn't see her appearance. At this time, Tang Han looked at her carefully and found that this person was indeed a woman, and she was a tall woman, very tall, and she was only half a head lower than her.
Not to mention that it is much taller than ordinary women, it is much taller than most men in this world.
Tang Han is 1.85 meters tall, and this woman is only half a head shorter than Tang Han. You can imagine that she is amazing in height.
Li Qingzhu is tall among women, probably about 1.7 meters tall.
But this woman is at least ten centimeters taller than Li Qingzhu.
She was pulled out of her armor and exposed the red cotton robe she wore inside. It seemed that she was not something that ordinary people could afford.
With the productivity of this world, cotton is now producing very low, so it is expensive.
People who can wear cotton robe are either rich or noble.
This woman is tall and beautiful, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, but the lines on her face are not as tough as Westerners. Her whole temperament is soft and has a hint of wildness, and she should look like a mixed race.
The eyes even had a hint of blue.
Seeing Tang Han looking at him so unscrupulously, this woman didn't say a word and treated her coldly.
Tang Han felt that this woman did not have the consciousness of being a prisoner. If she had not been a person who was noble in her consciousness and noble in character, she would have suffered a lot long ago.
"Adele Khan, have you slept well in the past two days? How have you slept well?" Tang Han suddenly laughed.
The woman's face finally changed, she looked at Tang Han, although she quickly looked away and returned to her calmness.
Tang Han smiled. This woman clearly understood Aoki's words, but she still pretended not to understand. She really didn't know what she was thinking.
"I don't care whether you can understand or not, I say you listen. Do you think you can take the opportunity to take down Beidi County by defeating Wurihai, right? It turns out that this is just your delusion, otherwise, your dignified Adele Khan would not be my captive." Tang Han said to himself.
Adele's face turned angry, but soon disappeared, and he snorted and continued to remain silent.
"I can tell you clearly that Wurihai is dead and killed by me. I am enemies of him, so I actually have to thank you for his defeat. Otherwise, I wouldn't have caught him so easily." Tang Han continued.
Adele's face finally changed drastically and he said in a lost voice: "You killed Wurihai? Are you not the same group?"
After she finished speaking, she realized that her cold personality had been broken by herself. She hurriedly shut up and looked at Tang Han angrily, as if she was annoying her to lure her to speak.
Tang Han smiled, but did not take the opportunity to mock her, but nodded and said, "Of course, you don't even think about it. With Wurihai's courage, do you still have the courage to attack you after being chased by you in a mess and finally saved your life?"
Adele thought for a while and nodded, "It's true. This is a guy who is afraid of death. After being surrounded by us, he was so scared that he turned away and ran away. If he could fight to the death, we might not be able to win so quickly."
Tang Han shrugged and said, "So, if you still look at me with the eyes of Wurihai, you will definitely regret it. Don't look at your flying wolf Khan with so many people coming here with great momentum, it is actually useless to me. If you don't believe it, I can make a bet with you. After three days of betting, your Khan will withdraw his troops."
Adele was obviously dissatisfied and said loudly: "Impossible! Even if you are stronger than Urihai, according to our information, there are not many defenders in this city at all. Our Khan has a total of 30,000 elite troops, and reinforcements from other tribes will continue to come. I think you are a hero. If you are willing to surrender, I can plead for you in front of the Khan, let him forgive you, and let you serve our Khan."
Tang Han was stunned. Unexpectedly, this woman wanted to persuade her to surrender, and she really didn't have the awareness of being a prisoner.
