Chapter 208 Good defenders, the enemy does not know what they are attacking

After the tentative attack was ruthlessly shattered, a desperate feeling spread across the Tongluo army, and more and more people have no hope for breaking through.`````

"The Han people were guarding the pass and were condescending, two hundred and fifty steps away from the city were within their attack range. We immediately shot, with a range of only seventy or eighty steps at most, and only nearly forty or fifty steps could we reach the best range. Now there are these fortifications under the city, so we can only passively be beaten, but we cannot get the situation of our hands. This battle cannot be fought." After Mingjin, Udir led his army to retreat a thousand steps away to camp. In the central army tent, a centurion spoke.

"Then are you going to sit here and wait for death, or are you going to take your hands and feet to the door and chop your heads to the Han people, then strip you naked, then use a wooden stake to stab you through your butt, stand in the wilderness to feed the crows?" Udir roared angrily, "Don't you know the Jedi dilemma we are in now, but as long as we don't sit and wait for death, we still have to fight, fight to the death."

At this time, another commander of the thousand-man stepped forward and said, "If we don't clear the fortifications under the city, we can only be beaten and not fight back. But if we want to forcibly level these fortifications, we will be exhausted under the city. But I don't think we don't have the chance to hide in the city, condescending, relying on the longbow and strong crossbow far exceeding our range, so we suppress us from a long range. But if we can rush to build a batch of large wooden shields, we can offset most of the threat of the Han people's longbows. Then we wait until it's dark to flatten the fortifications outside the Han people's city, and finally push them under the ice wall. Then our cavalry can counterattack with exquisite shooting. Then we will do our best to dig down their ice walls. Without the guards of the ice fortress, even if the Han people have longbowmen, can they fight in close combat? Can the southern barbarians in the Central Plains beat our leopard cavalry in the north of the Mo?"

"That's right, as long as you rush to the nearest and the longbow is useless, they will dare to hide behind the city wall and release cold arrows." Another person echoed excitedly, as if he had seen the victory of the Great Icebreaker.

After hearing this, Udir was very happy. There was nothing else in the river, but there were mountains on both sides. There was no shortage of trees. It was not a problem to make some big shields, even some shield cars, ladders, etc.

He finally nodded and made up his mind. "Okay, go and log the wood-made shields and shield chariots, cloud ladders, and attack the city rams. This time, I want to see what the Han people can do to break it!"

More than 2,000 leopard cavalry including Nilan received military orders to temporarily regain their energy and wait for attack. However, thousands of auxiliary soldiers including Buck were arranged to cut wood and make shields. Thousands of people worked together, and the speed was still very fast. During the day, the Luo people cut trees to make equipment. At night, they faced the newly made large shields and the shield chariot went to the fortifications under the city. They began to dig chest walls, fill trenches, and cut deer antlers...

Not to mention, this strategy is indeed pretty good. At least it was dark at night, and the eyesight of the Huaihuang archers in the city dropped greatly, and it was difficult to understand the movements under the city. Even if you put some rockets and light some torches, it would not work very much. With blind shots, it would not work very much. The Tongluo people had already learned some ways to prevent arrow formations, that is, try not to be too dense. Anyway, the Sui army in the city did not come out and did not need to form a formation to resist. At the same time, their shields and large shields also played a great role. When they heard the sound of arrow formations breaking through the air, the Tongluo people under the city immediately went to the big shields and dodged under the shields. No matter how powerful the long arrows were, they could not break these rough shields and large shields. Even if the long bowmen replaced the arrows with rockets, the shields and large shields made of wet wood could also be very good at fire protection.

Under such circumstances, the Huaihuang Army seemed to have no countermeasures. The Tongluo people were very excited and full of energy. In just three nights, they had filled the three chest walls and the three trenches behind them. They even swept away the horse pits, deer feet, picket stakes, horse-resisting horses, and four-legged nails within a hundred steps.

Only one hundred steps left, at this distance, some powerful leopard cavalry can shoot arrows onto the city.

At this time, Udir could no longer bear it, so he decided to put the whole army forward and attack the ice castle. First, Udir had sufficient shields, large shields and other various siege equipment in his hand, and second, they had been trapped in this valley for half a month, and the people were tired. If they stayed there, the people would still be able to hold on for a while, but their war horses would be over. Without the horses, even if they broke through, it would be difficult to escape. Many reasons made Udir decide to launch a full-scale siege ahead of schedule.

The commander of Thousand Cavalry and the Thousand Cavalry of Ted and others quickly sent an order. The order they received was to support the auxiliary soldiers to clear a passage and directly attack the city. The task of siege was handed over to the auxiliary soldiers. The leopard cavalry of the main army did not have to rush to the formation, or it was not until they rushed to the formation. What they had to do now was to shoot arrows on the city behind the infantry and help suppress the crossbowmen on the city.

After the order was conveyed, Ted swept away his pessimistic emotions for many days, patted his nephew's shoulder excitedly and said, "It seems that we can finally kill us!"

Niran was not as optimistic as his uncle. In the past three days, although they had cleared 150 steps of the city's defense fortifications, there were still 100 steps. This 100 steps was also the most difficult part. The Sui army on the city suppressed this distance very strongly, and the competition here would definitely be the most intense. The peace of the past few days was just a sign before the storm came.

Niran put on his armor and came to the team. He held the longbow in his hand and followed behind him. From time to time, he looked up at the ice castle that was getting closer and taller and taller.

The sound of trumpets sounded, and the cavalry began to run, but instead of running straight down the city, they ran towards the two wings, always maintaining a distance of about a hundred steps from the castle. Using the mobility of the cavalry, they drove arrows on the city while galloping. After suffering the losses of the Sui army's long bow and arrow formation, these cavalrymen of Luo are now very cleverly dividing the team into 100 cavalry teams. In this way, they greatly reduce the losses when suffering from arrow rain.

More auxiliary soldiers pushed the shield chariot and supported the big shield, and began to run forward in the same scattered line, and began to clear out several passages on the last 100-step fortification belt. They did not completely clear as before, but just cleared out a few passages. This way, the passages to the city as quickly as possible, so that the siege teams behind can reach the city as soon as possible.

The Huaihuang Army in the city remained calm and no one shot.

Niran followed Ted Horse. He ran without any speed and slowly, while controlling the horse, turned his head to look at the city tower. As the war horses galloped rapidly, he could see the crystal ice piles, one after another, with heads wearing steel helmets floating on them. Looking at the Han army without any movement, Niran felt a palpitation in his heart.

Ted shouted loudly in front of him, and took the lead in hooking the string and shooting an arrow at the top of the city.

Niran quickly picked up a whistle arrow skillfully. This is the most widely equipped equipment among the Turks. Almost every soldier has it. There is a hole in the middle of this arrow, and a small iron bead can slide. When it is shot out, the wind blows the iron ball and rolls. It will make a sharp sound. On the vast grassland, the sound of this arrow can be transmitted several miles away, which is an excellent contact tool. But at the same time, this arrow is also a very strong arrow, which is a heavy arrow that can break iron armor.

He skillfully picked up the arrow, and his right thumb with his antler ringing finger in his right hand pressed the bowstring, pressed his index finger and middle finger on his thumb. He raised his left hand and pointed the arrow diagonally into the air. His right hand continued to increase force and slowly pulled the bowstring, and the mulberry wood bow tire that was close to the horns kept making squeaking sounds. The bow became more and more curved, and the bowstring was pulled to the corner of his mouth.

The leopard cavalry around them slap their strings one after another and shot out their bows and arrows. With the countless vibrations of the bows and strings, they were like a huge swarm of bees flying by, flying densely into the sky.

It was not until this time that Niran suddenly released his thumb, and the bowstring was drawn along the flat antler finger. The accumulated power on the mulberry arch tire was instantly released, and the heavy arrow flew out. The iron ball on the arrow rotated rapidly in the air, making an extremely sharp roar.

The arrow flew past the highest point, drew an arc, and began to dive towards the defenders on the city.

It was at this moment that a continuous shout sounded from the city: "Rise the shield!"

Shields were raised one after another, and the arrows shot by the leopard cavalry below were blocked by the shields.

"Banditman, let it go!"

Another shout was made, and the crossbowmen standing in the front row had already raised the crossbow machine and aimed it at the Tongluo people under the city. One after another, the black crossbow nails flew out, and a distance of one hundred steps was really within their strongest lethality range. Four thousand crossbowmen were divided into three rows and three-stage shooting, making up for the shortcomings of the long crossbow on the crossbow machine. The three-stage shooting was opened, and the four thousand crossbow men almost maintained the endless momentum of the crossbow nails shot from the city.

For a moment, crossbow nails formed a metal storm, exploded, stirred and destroyed under the city!

Before Niran could see whether his arrow had made any contribution, his face turned pale by the crossbow nails that had hit the sky and counterattacked.

The leopard cavalry next to him was racing when he was suddenly shot by a crossbow nail. With a loud noise, the crossbow nail directly penetrated the iron helmet on the head of the companion, and then only a short piece of crossbow tail was left. The companion only let out a scream and was shot down from the horse, and there was no sound. Niran quickly lowered his body and felt the crossbow nail roaring in his ear. The next moment, he saw his uncle Ted suddenly leaning back on his horse, and a crossbow was caught in the north of his uncle. However, the armor that could be worth 200 horses was indeed not just good-looking. The powerful crossbow nail shot on his shoulder, and it was only shot into a short piece, and was blocked by Jinqishan Wenjia. The arrow looked powerful, but he probably might have just shot a little bit of flesh.

There were still constant screams, and there were companions around him who fell from crossbows to the ground, and some of them fell from the war horses to the ground, and the horse knights also fell from the horse. There were also screams farther behind him. He hurriedly looked back and saw that it was the sound of the auxiliary soldiers being caught in arrows. Even if there were shield chariots and large shields, many people still got caught in crossbows from time to time under such a dense rain of crossbows.

After three rounds of crossbowmen in Huaihuang Army, four thousand crossbowmen shot in three volleys, and hundreds of people fell down with Luo Army. Although they were not very good at hitting a high level, they still had a great victory.

Such a large casualty made Tong Luo Jun, who thought he would not be afraid of the shield with the shield, and the morale he had recovered in the past three days disappeared instantly. Even Udir and others who were watching the battle behind could not help but look as if they were ashen.

The rain of crossbows and arrows had fallen again, and screams sounded again among the Luo people, and the losses were still huge. At this time, the leopard cavalry, who were highly anticipated by Udir and others, were not close to the city at all under the dense crossbows. They hid far away and symbolically shot arrows at the city, but the arrow fell far away.

Several commanders looked at Udir. But Udir was unmoved and said coldly: "Continue!"

The soldiers who were struggling to support the enemy did not wait for the signal of gold to sound, but instead waited for the horn to urge the attack.

Under the supervision of the leopard cavalry, more auxiliary soldiers even dismounted and held up their shields.

Under the White Tiger's flag on the castle, Yi Feng kept calmly watching the situation on the battlefield. The battle was like this, and everything was expected by him and the General Staff. In fact, in the past three days, the people of Tongluo deliberately pushed forward 150 steps and cleared the fortifications. It was just Yi Feng who deliberately put them in a deliberate way. It was just that Yi Feng deliberately put them in a deliberate way. Yi Feng did not want to continue to waste with these Tongluo people here. If they really wanted to waste with them, if these guys were dead, they would have tens of thousands of horses in their hands, they could have consumed them completely. But Yi Feng did not want to waste them like this. This was unacceptable to the Huaihuang Army.

"Master General. Will you send someone to persuade the surrender? The Khitans have already suffered another defeat. It is estimated that the two soldiers, Bayegu and Pugu, will come south to reinforce the Tongluo people at any time. We must solve these Tongluo people as soon as possible." Wei Zheng, a military consultant, took the urgent report he received just recently and suggested to Yi Feng with concern. The situation in the Khitan is actually similar to the Xi tribe. Although the Khitan has ten tribes, the total number of soldiers and horses of the ten tribes is more than 40,000, but they are even more scattered.

.In addition, one of the tribes was defeated by the Goguryeo people a few years ago, and now they are still energetic. Previously, Bayegu suddenly went south and defeated a Khitan tribe first. Later, Dahe Duluo went to rescue, but fell into an ambush and suffered a defeat. After that, Duluo began to retreat and not fight, wanting to wait for the Sui army reinforcements and Khitan tribes to unite. When Yi Feng saw Chen Wu's request for help, he thought he could deal with Tongluo first and then go north to Khitan, and Duluo should be able to hold on.

But the information he just received was that Duluo had contacted several Khitan units and received a lot of reinforcements. His strength increased greatly. Then he began to set up ambush troops, first taking the initiative to fight Bayegu, and then pretending to defeat and lure the enemy into an ambush. This was originally a classic and beautiful ambush battle to lure the enemy into an ambush. However, he plotted on Bayegu people, and Bayegu people were also calculating him. As a result, he surrounded Bayegu people and was happy. As a result, the Pugu tribe army appeared. Bayegu had already contacted Pugu and dealt with the Khitan together. Now they were all trapped by each other, and finally a chaotic battle. As a result, Tieler people were even more fierce. They came to a center and attacked inside and outside, defeating several Khitan coalition forces.

Dahe Duluo retreated and suffered many losses in his army and generals. However, the winning Bayegu and Jugu also damaged many of their troops. Both sides retreated and feared each other.

But Daha Duro would definitely not dare to go to the Iron Lai again in a short period of time, which made these two Iron Lai people very likely to go south.

"We can't come in a while, and we still have some time." Yi Feng pondered. Tongluo people were already eating meat and could never spit it out again.

After thinking about it, Yi Fengdao, "Waste the offensive point and slowly lead the Tongluo people to the city wall. After dark, let the cavalry go out of the city and kill them once. Then wait until tomorrow, send infantry out of the city and we will fight with him."

Wei Zheng opened his mouth wide in surprise, "We will defend the castle and be invincible. Why do we need to go out of the city to fight?"

"If we use these Tongluo people to practice soldiers, we can't rely on longbowmen and crossbowmen in the future. Cavalry and melee spearmen, sword and shield soldiers and heavy infantrymen will not be able to truly become elite troops without practicing. Just so we don't have time to continue to waste with these Tongluo people, so let us solve them in advance."

After hearing Yi Feng's practical training methods, Wei Zheng suddenly figured it out.

Now it is indeed an opportunity to train troops in actual combat. The soldiers of Huaihuang Army are not trained poorly, but they have not experienced real combat. No matter how long they practice on the school ground, they are still not considered elite soldiers. At present, the Tongluo people are trapped in the valley, and the Huaihuang Army has a strong city fortress behind them. Even if the soldiers who have been tested in actual combat are not good, even if there is a problem, there will be no major problems. In this way, they can train troops in actual combat without worrying about pushing these soldiers onto the battlefield and causing unbearable losses. Of course, by the way, solve these Tongluo people in advance.

With Yi Feng's decision, the Huaihuang Army deliberately controlled the attack strength in the subsequent battle. The longbow soldiers basically did not enter the battlefield, and the crossbowmen were finally reduced by half.

In Udir's eyes, the Sui army's performance was a little puzzled at first, but later a centurion said that it might be that the Sui army had fewer bows and arrows. This statement was immediately accepted by Udir, which made him feel very good and ordered the attack to be strengthened.
