Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 221

A city gate with a width of less than five meters has thousands of civilians busy. In less than 10 minutes, several fortifications piled up with crushed stones, sacks filled with mud and sand were built. Anyone who has watched anti-Japanese war movies is absolutely familiar with this kind of fortification.

The craftsmen opened the boxes containing the repeated crossbows one by one. After quickly installing the arrows, they placed the repeated crossbows on the sandbags of the fortifications. on the clearing.

"Those who know how to use the crossbow are responsible for killing the enemy with the crossbow behind the bunker. Those who don't know how to use it can learn to use it, or bow down to help load the arrow under the bunker. Pay attention to covering the body with the shield. The peasants go up to the city wall and continue to control the catapult. Hurry up. hurry up"

Seeing that the city gate was burnt with thousands of holes, Sun Xiangfu shouted anxiously.

"Boom."

The city gate collapsed suddenly, and Tuli outside the city showed a sinister smile on his face. With a wave of the whip in his hand, suddenly, more than three thousand horsemen rushed towards the city gate hole like a torrent.

On the city wall, although Wang Xu couldn't see the city gate, he heard the sound of the city gate collapsing. Knowing that it was time to fight for his life, he let out a loud shout and shot three long arrows with his bow. It was time to aim, the arrow fell quickly, and there was a half chance of hitting someone.

"shhhhhh"

There are also more than 200 archers in the united camp, and all of them are concentrated at the east gate. Together with Wang Xu's guards, there are more than 300 people who can shoot arrows. However, more than 300 arrows have also shot more than 100 Turks. Fewer than 100 people fell from the horse. For more than 1 people, not even one percent of them did any decisive harm.

So, soon, this torrent got into the city gate hole, and the Turkic cavalry who approached the city gate hole behind the team also began to shoot arrows at the top of the city with their bows. When it reaches the head, it can also kill people directly. From time to time, there are screams on the city wall.

The vibration of the ground caused the guards and craftsmen who were lying on the bunker to panic. However, it is war now, and panic is useless. Subconsciously, they saw the first row of Turkic cavalry rushing from the city gate. , and pulled the trigger.

"click"

The sound is very magical, and the arrow speed is very dense.

Fortunately, a few Turkic cavalry who rushed over from the rain of arrows on the city wall just met each other in the city gate, and were shot into hedgehogs by dozens of crossbow arrows.

The continuous crossbow is not comparable to the machine guns of the later generations in the short range, but the shooting speed of the earthen rifle is not slow compared to pulling a bolt and firing a shot. Among Sun Xiangfu's guards and craftsmen who can use crossbows There are more than 300 people in total, and more than 300 continuous crossbows defend a city gate hole less than five meters wide. It is conceivable how intensive the shooting can be.

The result of the battle is obvious. Everyone just pulled the trigger, and the few enemies who rushed over were dead. With the experience of killing enemies for the first time, the craftsmen were not so flustered. Therefore, the city gate cave here , became a death zone for the Turks.

"shhhhhh"

As the Turkic people continued to rush in, crossbow arrows shot into the city gate as if they didn't want money. On the ground, human corpses and horse corpses were piled up layer by layer. Soon, all the Turkic soldiers pouring in from behind were blocked. .

"what happened?"

Seeing the cavalry crowded in front of the city gate and being stoned to death by the defenders on the city wall, Tu Li roared angrily.

"It seems that something is blocking the way of the horses behind the city gate." Abu Tusi had already noticed the strangeness of the city gate hole, took a closer look, and returned to his horse to report to Tuli.

"Hmph, the broken city is just around the corner. You personally lead the warriors around Ben Khan to rush there. If you encounter obstacles, you can dismount and jump over the obstacles. Burn them with fire, and also burn a path for Ben Khan."

Tuli waved his hand, and hundreds of big Turkic men who were obviously stronger than ordinary people approached here. In their hands, they held a chain hammer that could kill enemies from a long distance and a jar of kerosene.

Abu Tusi got the order, and didn't dare to delay. He also picked up a chain hammer, waved it in a circle above his head, and rushed towards the city wall on his horse. In this way, he could call off many arrows that fell from it.

However, when he got to the city gate, he realized what blocked the cavalry's way forward. It turned out to be the corpses of his soldiers and horses.

"Get off the horse, climb up the pile of corpses, and throw the kerosene jar over."

There were too many corpses piled up in front of the gate, and Abtus had little room to play, but he still managed to throw some fire oil cans in front of the defenders' fortifications.

Sun Xiangfu, who commanded the battle under the last fortification, twitched his nose. He was familiar with the smell, a bit like the gasoline of later generations, but the purity was not high. It should be that the people of the Western Regions have not yet mastered any clever refining method. Those black hemp The hemp stuff is more like crude oil. No wonder Tang Fengyi didn't extinguish the fire in the city gate with water.

"The people in the front row of fortifications retreat, hurry up"

"Half the manpower for loading the arrows, go out to get mud and sand. Once the fortification in front catches fire, don't water it, but bury it with sand."

After Sun Xiangfu came to this world, he often sang and his voice was high enough. After he yelled for a while, the guards and craftsmen all moved according to his request.

However, when they buried the burning kerosene with sand, Absitu didn't stop. Some horse corpses were dragged away by the wrestlers. From those horse corpses, he knew the characteristics of the fortification inside the city gate. The arrows are sharp.

Therefore, after they just shot a few rockets through the gap, they let the wrestlers hold the bodies of the Turkic soldiers who were shot dead as shields and rushed in.

"Fire arrows."

Seeing those Turks rushing in on foot from the firelight, Sun Xiangfu shouted.

The fortifications were semicircular. Turkic warriors blocked the front, but they couldn't block the sides. Several people were shot to death on the flanks.

Therefore, several large chain hammers flew out over the bunker.

"Stand up, be careful."

Although Sun Xiangfu in the rear had seen the situation in front clearly, the reaction of the people in front could not be faster than the speed of the flying hammer. Several guards were hit immediately, but fortunately they were all wearing iron armor, and the chain hammer was on the ground. The sharp thorns did not break their armor, but caused some internal injuries to their bodies. Only one unlucky one was hit on the head. It is unknown whether he died or passed out.

As more and more chain hammers flew towards the fortifications, the bunkers could no longer fully guarantee everyone's safety.

"Old Tang, let the peasants carry stones and throw them down from the city"

Sun Xiangfu yelled towards the city wall, and Tang Fengyi, who was instructing the peasants to control the catapults to smash the enemies outside the city, vaguely heard his shout. When he turned around and looked into the city, he found many Turkic warriors holding their corpses, Out of the door hole.

"The big guys listen to my order, move the stone over, and smash those stupid Turkic soldiers to death."

The corpse may be able to block the crossbow arrows of the guards, but it is difficult to block the stones that fell from the top of the head. With two or three thousand civilians led by Tang Fengyi smashing together, a large number of Turkic warriors who rushed in suddenly died.

"Don't stop the crossbow arrows, shoot with double crossbows that can shoot with double crossbows, and suppress them in the city gate."

With the participation of the men from the city in throwing stones, the pressure on the fortifications was suddenly relieved. In addition, Sun Xiangfu shot crossbow arrows without money. After leaving half of the corpses, the hundreds of Turkic warriors retreated under pressure. .

However, there were no civilians controlling the catapults to suppress the Turkic soldiers outside the city, and most of the archers on the city wall were exhausted. After that, more Turkic soldiers outside the city rushed into the city gate hole without any danger. Under the organization of Abu Tusi, they used corpses or small round shields to block the sides and top of their heads, and prepared to rush into the city in one go.
