The brief respite ended quickly. A large number of Turkic soldiers used yellow sand to quickly extinguish the fire oil under the city. Then they continued to fill the siege channels.

Half an hour into the battle, the Turkic soldiers' spears could even reach the soldiers on the city wall. The hand-to-hand combat began. The Turks' bows and arrows also began to slow down. After all, the Turkic warriors at the front were

He had jumped onto the city wall. Although he was quickly hacked to death, it still greatly boosted the morale of the Turkic soldiers.

More Turkic soldiers rushed towards the city wall without fear of death. They held shields and directly used their bodies as weapons, jumping up and hitting the soldiers guarding the city. I have to admit that the fighting will of these Turkic soldiers far exceeded that of the Tang army. Then

Such a fierce and fearless fighting style even made Captain Li feel a little intimidated.

The good news is that the passage is a bit narrow, and only three soldiers can jump in at a time. So it is still possible to hold on. But when the Turks brought a ladder again and started to build it not far from the breakthrough, Lieutenant Li was a little panicked.

In fact, this kind of battle is really useless. Everyone has clearly stated what they can use. It is a head-on confrontation, I attack hard, and you defend hard. Whoever can't hold on first will be finished.

The Turks had very few engineering equipment. This should be the last ladder. But it still became the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Go to a team of people and guard that side." Lieutenant Li had to remove some soldiers to deal with the ladder. Laixi didn't even think about it, and rushed over with four soldiers. At this time, only the front was left.

There was no doubt that the Turkic soldiers who rushed up came with the determination to die, and many of them succeeded in dying together with a Tang soldier.

In less than a quarter of an hour of hand-to-hand combat, more than a dozen of the thirty-two soldiers were killed. Laixi took away four more. Lieutenant Li had only twelve soldiers left. Moreover, most of the soldiers guarding the city were

Most of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled, and their fighting ability was of little concern. It was only because of Lieutenant Li's desperate struggle that they could barely block the breakthrough.

"Is there any more kerosene?"

He shouted to the soldiers beside him.

"And, in the back."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Two soldiers ran to the back to move the kerosene. However, the lifting ropes and pulleys had been destroyed by the Turks. They could not use the throwing device to throw the kerosene out of the city wall.

"Hurry up..." Lieutenant Li didn't know what was going on, so he could only shout blindly. Four or five Turkic soldiers jumped up in front of him, and they were Turkic wolf guards wearing black armor. These were

The heavily armored Turkic elites suppressed Li Xiaowei and others as soon as they appeared, and pushed the battle line forward several meters. More Turkic soldiers behind them rushed up and suppressed the Tang army.

The two soldiers carrying kerosene looked at each other. They exerted their strength almost at the same time, lifted the barrel of nearly 100 kilograms of kerosene, and rushed towards the Turkic soldiers.

The two sprinted with all their strength, and within a short distance of about ten meters, an astonishing impact broke out. Several Turkic soldiers did not react in time and were directly knocked down by the two of them. With a crash, the two of them held the kerosene barrels and collided directly with each other.

He fell on two Turkic wolf guards. The opponent was knocked staggering. But his strong body prevented him from being knocked down. He swung the scimitar in his hand and slashed the neck of a soldier.

The two of them exerted force almost at the same time, lifted the kerosene barrel, and held it against their faces. The scimitar cut directly through the barrel, and the kerosene flew out, and was directly ignited by a torch prepared in advance not far away.

At this moment, the two Tang soldiers, plus the surrounding Turkic wolf guards, all turned into pyromen in an instant.

"I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty..." In the flames, only someone shouted. Then a group of burning figures fell directly from the city wall and rolled down the Turkic slope. There was an explosion.

, flames, screams, soaring into the sky. There was a strange silence on the entire battlefield. The next second, the sound of fighting sounded again.

"Brothers, kill me..." Lieutenant Li yelled in a hoarse voice. He rushed towards the few remaining Turkic soldiers on the city wall. The remaining Tang soldiers seemed to be inspired by something, and in their hands,

The Turkic soldiers, who had been so aggressive just now, flashed their spears and swung their swords with all their might. Unprecedented panic flashed across their faces. Within a single round, they were chopped into pieces.

Woo... The sound of retreating horns came from outside the city.

In the Turkic account, there is a man who looks like a lieutenant general and is puzzled.

"General, why are you withdrawing your troops? We can work together to capture this city and complete the mission assigned by the great Khan."

"The casualties are too great. And haven't you noticed that it's the Tang people who are making the most of it, not us. There is no problem in taking them down, but if you want to take down the Tang people when they are at their peak, the price to pay is too high. These Turkic warriors,

You shouldn't die in this war of attrition.

The so-called momentum is miraculous. It can make those exhausted soldiers burst out with extremely powerful fighting power. But it is also nothingness. Because it can only exist for a very short time. The so-called momentum, then decline, three

And exhaustion is the principle.

We don't have to fight hard, we just need to wait for a while. The anger they have just gathered will be released on its own. By then, we will be able to take over the city and get what we want without any effort. Okay,

Let the warriors take a rest."

On the city wall, those who survived were still busy. No one dared to raise their heads, because the Turkic archers were still staring at the city wall. They did not dare to poke their heads and knock down the ramp. They could only lift it with their hands.

The corpses of the Turks were pushed under the city wall.

Even Manzhu rushed to the city wall to help bandage the wounds of the wounded.

"Count the number of people." Lieutenant Li shouted. The number of people was quickly counted.

Not one of them was intact. There were fourteen of them who were slightly injured and could fight again, including him. Eight of them were seriously injured, and the rest had no energy left.

"Where's Lu Xuan?" Captain Li shouted again after looking around. He didn't see Lu Xuan, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Where are you?"

I saw one after another talking and walking over from the other side. But he didn't look very good. The armor and clothes on his body were completely soaked with blood. There were many things on his waist, shoulders, chest, and back.

There were nearly ten wounds.

"There were two groups of Turkic soldiers who wanted to build ladders from other city walls. When we blocked the second group, we ran into a little trouble. We arrived too late and they rushed up a lot. I had no choice but to kill them all.

Only then can the ladder be destroyed."
