Chapter seven hundred and fifty seventh beacon fire

After several explosions, the Tang and Liang army suffered heavy losses, but the Turkic cavalry behind rushed to the city and bent their bows to shoot arrows at the Dahua soldiers on the high-walled earthen castle.

The city also shot arrows at the counterattack, and the two armies shot at each other. The subsequent infantry began to advance, carrying ladders, wooden boards, and rushing to launch a strong attack.

There were barbs underground in the trench, and the Turks pushed down some dead bodies and horse corpses, gradually submerging the barbs.

Infantry lay the groundwork with plywood, so that subsequent troops can set up ladders to attack the city.

"Kill kill--"

On the city, flags were flying, and soldiers of the Turks and Tang dynasties used simple stone throwing machines, hard bows and arrows and other siege equipment.

The Dahua Army had the advantage of geographical advantage, using throwing stones, crossbow arrows, fireballs to distance, and rolling wood and beating stones toward each other, and using tooth for tooth.

From afar, half of the human body climbed to fall down from the city, and fell into bloody corpses, broken ladders, and burning siege chariots scattered everywhere.

On the ladder behind the earthen wall, the Dahua soldiers kept walking back and forth, carrying equipment, wandering and shooting arrows, holding hooks and sickles to push the ladders, and constantly throwing wooden and rocks under the city. In such a dense firepower attack and defense, there were still a group of unfair Turkic and Tang army warriors who were not afraid of death pounced on the city, and after a round of counterattack, they turned into a pile of meat sauce.

A huge and strong door-hitting car rushed towards the door with the support of dozens of Liang soldiers. A sharp head of more than one meter long was exposed at the front, hitting the thick and strong Tucheng Iron Gate. A fan-shaped roof was installed on the door-hitting car. Stones hit or arrows could not hurt the enemy soldiers below.

Luo Zhaoyun's face was cold and he watched the change as if he was outside the street. He did not lead the troops to lead the troops to kill the enemy, because no matter how brave a man was, he could not kill him. Only by sitting here as a rock and his face remained unchanged could he give the soldiers and advisers of the entire army a reassurance.

In history, he witnessed the process of ancient wars, killing tens of thousands of people, fighting against each other, with blades flying, and bloody and hot.

This is war, with no humanity at all. The so-called glory of empire is the glory paved with countless blood and life.

Luo Zhaoyun sometimes wonders, will he really want to unify the world and continue this kind of killing?

However, thinking about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms Periods were fighting continuously. As long as the world was not unified for one day, the war would not stop. It would be better to end this chaos by yourself and give the people of the world a good day, and let the Li family father and son be emperors, it may not be like the time traveler you are like.

The so-called prosperous times they created were only relative and could not truly change the dilemma and constraints of the times. Perhaps they could do it themselves.

The long sword is a horn, the drum sounds are used as a command, and the bow is like thunder and strings are shocked!

At this moment, outside the city, arrows were raining, and the sound of killing was shocking.

Rows of ladders were laid on the thick city walls, and the Turks and Tang dynasties were like ants, and the soldiers of the Liang coalition kept climbing and rushed forward desperately. Seeing that more and more enemy soldiers were climbing to the top of the city.

Xue Wanren stepped forward and shouted: "A good man from Dahua, I would rather die while standing and never retreat. People are in the city, and people are dead! Let these coalition soldiers be ruined here!"

His loud voice swirled around the ears of the soldiers on the city wall like a bell and drum. It was majestic. All the soldiers on the city wall were full of passion and their eyes were red. They instantly burst out with huge power and morale. They used the snow-white sword blade and spear to fight with the Turkic warriors to the end.

"Boom boom boom boom--"

A batch of explosive packs were sent, ignited the fuse, and continued to be thrown into the sea of ​​people under the city. Then bursts of explosions broke out, earthquakes shaking, and gunpowder smoke rolled. Every time there were explosions, nearly a hundred Turkic soldiers, Tang and Liang soldiers were blown into the sky, and their remaining limbs were rolling in the top of the level.

However, explosives are limited, but people are infinite. No matter how powerful the explosives are, a Guzhuo can't kill a hundred thousand troops, which only helps to relieve the morale of the enemy for a while.

Chen Yu and Qu Tutong respectively commanded the defense of the army, and young generals such as Xue Wanren, Zhou Zhongyin, Mai Jicai, Murong Huaigu, Murong Siguan, He Ruohuaigu and other young generals all devoted themselves to the front line of defense and even participated in hand-to-hand combat.

This battle, from morning to dusk, suffered heavy casualties on both sides, and blood was flowing in a canal, dyeing the mountain area red.

Chi Ji and Liang Luoren were extremely helpless when they saw this scene behind, so they had to order the withdrawal of troops. Because more than half of the casualties and injuries were exhausted, the soldiers were exhausted and their morale was low. If they stood still, they would probably backfire and their war-weariness would be aroused, which would be aroused by the mutiny.

"Wuwuwuwu--" After the commander received the order, he blew up the long horns of retreat. After a series of sounds of horns came out, the Turkic knights and Tang Liang soldiers fighting fiercely in front of him retreated from the front line as if they were grateful. They could not capture them for a long time and had no fighting spirit. If they could retreat alive, no one would want to die in vain.

Tens of thousands of troops retreated like a tide, with dead bodies of wounded and war horses everywhere, covering layer by layer, especially under the city walls, corpses piled up like small hills, broken battle flags and long spears with broken poles, all over the ground.

"The coalition forces retreated, the coalition forces retreated-"

The soldiers of Dahua on the top of the city cheered. After a whole day of bloody battle, they finally fought to defend the precarious line of defense, making the camp unhindered and His Majesty safe.

Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "The enemy is constantly consuming it, and today there are 30,000 to 40,000 people killed and injured. In addition to the Turks who died in battle yesterday, the coalition forces are gathering 200,000 people, which is afraid that they will consume a small amount of them. It will have a great blow to the morale of the three parties. When General Li Jing comes from a good news and a chaos occurs in the rear of Liang State, the Liang army retreats and blows up the food and grass of the Turks, and the cavalry will retreat. At that time, the Tang army has more than 10,000 remaining people and will not be able to compete with our army. They can only join the camp of Zhang Zhenzhou in the southern part of Zhang."

Everyone felt that His Majesty’s analysis made sense, and at present, he could only put the hope of countermeasures on the 30,000 soldiers led by Li Jing.
