Turbulent Times Chapter 1368: King Qin An is here
As a result, the Turkic soldiers attacked the city more and more times, fighting frantically with the Sui army on the city, and even almost broke the city several times.
However, Turkic casualties are getting faster and faster, and more and more.
At this time, Shibi Khan gave an order, and another 40,000 soldiers began to attack. It was still the previous style of attack. Half of them attacked the city, and the other half covered it, shooting arrows at the top of the city.
The soldiers of the Sui army at the top of the city found that the Turkic arrow rain prevented them from getting close to the city wall to fight back, so they retreated a foot into the city wall and threw their bows downward. Turkic people can shoot Turkic people casually without looking at them.
Besides the siege ladder, the Turkic people have never been able to produce other siege weapons, and Yuwen Chengdu led people to research a way to crack the siege ladder.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a huge three-foot-wide siege ladder was put on the top of the city. The thick iron hooks hooked the city wall, and hundreds of Turkic soldiers crazily climbed up.
The soldiers of the Sui Army lifted up the logs and stones and threw them down. The Turkic soldiers screamed and rolled down along with the logs and boulders.
Two burly soldiers of the Sui army swung their sledgehammers and smashed the siege ladders on both sides. The wedge fell off from the ladder frame, which made the siege ladder two steps less, making it impossible to climb the city. Under the happy cheers of the Sui soldiers at the top of the city, the Turkic soldiers rolled down the city ladder one after another, and fell half to death. He was trampled to death by the Turkic soldiers behind him.
But the Turkic soldiers quickly had a countermeasure. They fixed the rungs of the ladder with pig iron, so that the Sui army's hammering had no effect.
However, Yuwen Chengdu found someone to make a big iron fork again, and let the craftsmen in the city rush to build a lot of them. They bent the iron hook, and dozens of soldiers pushed the ladder outward with the big iron fork, and the ladder fell off. The head of the city, turned outward and down.
The two sides are engaged in a **** battle using various siege methods and countermeasures. Sui people and Turkic people continue to die. Every day, the total number of people who die on both sides is nearly 20,000.
At noon on this day, the drums in the Turkic camp became dull and slow, 'Boom-boom-boom! ’ Every hard blow hits someone
The atrium trembled.
"Look, general!" A soldier of Yuwen Chengdu pointed to the Turkic camp in the distance and shouted with fear on his face.
All the soldiers of the Sui army were stunned, their faces became ugly, and they looked into the distance in horror, and Yu Wencheng also saw it.
Dozens of behemoths were launched in the Turkic camp.
It turned out to be a three-foot-tall nest cart, pulled by hundreds of horses, and each nest cart slowly approached the city wall, like a huge monster.
These high-end giant siege equipment that only the craftsman battalion of the Ministry of Industry of the Great Sui Dynasty could build were also built by the Chinese craftsmen captured by the Turkic people.
Yu Wencheng looked gloomy and ugly, turned around and shouted: "Go to bed, hurry up, put kerosene on it."
In Yanmen City, the Sui army's heavy defense weapon is only the bed crossbow, a three-foot-long arrow with a range of more than 300 steps, but there are not many such bed crossbows in Yanmen City, so I don't know if they can deal with it Having won these dozens of nest cars, Yu Wencheng was full of worries, wishing to lead the army directly out of the city to fight, because his personality actually prefers to kill enemies in the field.

In front of the Turkic camp, Shibi Khan stood on the watchtower, surrounded by dozens of tribal leaders and generals, watching the battle from a distance, with a strange and inexplicable look in his eyes, and his expression looked very strange. Haggard and exhausted, feeling mentally exhausted all the time.
But no matter what Shibi Khan thought in his heart, and what strange changes happened to his body, he now had an angry expression on his face, and his anger was uncontrollable, and he roared loudly: "The Yanmen City that could have been breached in a day , we fought for seven days, but we still couldn't break through Yanmen City. The idiot of Wutou lost Cangmen county easily, and almost wiped out the whole army. Damn it, come here, the person who fled Wutou back Kill them all."
The commander of the Golden Wolf Guard agreed, and then sent a Golden Wolf Guard to kill all the hundreds of Turkic soldiers who had fled back from Cangmen County.
The leaders and generals of the various Turkic tribes nearby did not plead for mercy from the beginning to the end. On the one hand, Sibi Khan was in a rage at this time, and they did not want to touch this bad luck. On the other hand, there were only 20,000 troops in Wutou, and there were only a few hundred people left. After returning
The women and dolls in the family, as well as the cattle and sheep, and the large tracts of grassland can just be divided up by them.
"Now Sui Guoqin King's army has arrived, and we have paid the price of more than 70,000 casualties. If Yang Guang cannot be captured in this Yanmen Battle, it will be a failure for us, but as long as Yang Guang is with us In the hand, the Sui army dare not make any changes, because we can take the emperor of the Sui Dynasty as a hostage. When the time comes, the Sui army will be easily defeated by us, and the entire great river and mountain north of the Yellow River in the Sui Dynasty will be ours. The racecourse." Khan Shibi found that the seven days of uninterrupted crazy attacks resulted in heavy casualties and low morale, so he loudly encouraged the leaders and generals of the tribes.
Shibi Khan's younger brother stood up and said: "Khan, although the Sui army resisted fiercely, they also suffered heavy casualties. Now they have no troops to rotate. In two days at most, they will collapse. At that time, we can easily break the city, so please do not worry Khan, sooner or later the Emperor of Sui will kneel at Khan's feet."
Sibi Khan nodded. It is indeed the case. As long as he keeps attacking the city, the strength of the Sui army will inevitably be exhausted. Moreover, he has a mission that makes him extremely contradictory, but he cannot refuse. Too much consumption of Sui troops.
"Pass my order, and all 20,000 horses from the Ula tribe will go up to cooperate with the nest cart to attack the city!" Shibi Khan ordered loudly.
As soon as his voice fell, the face of the leader of the Ula tribe changed, and just as he was about to say something, suddenly a spy came galloping from a distance, and shouted loudly from a distance: "Khan, as soon as the Sui people support you!" The army came here from Cangmen County in a hurry."
"The reinforcements from the Sui army came so quickly." The leaders of the tribes looked solemn and talked a lot.
"How many reinforcements from the Sui army came?" Shibi Khan asked with a frown.
At this time, the scout jumped off his horse, knelt under the watchtower, and said loudly: "Report to Khan, the Sui army has only come less than 20,000 people."
"Less than 20,000 people, have you seen whose flag it is?" Shibi Khan did not panic, they still have more than 300,000 troops, even if all the reinforcements from the Sui army arrive, he is confident that they will kill the Sui army. defeat.
"Reporting to Khan, it is the 20,000 cavalry of the Far Eastern Army's Tornado Battalion led by King Qin An of the Great Sui Dynasty." The scout immediately replied loudly.
