Chapter 18 Strong but thirty sucks
Pei Min stood out of the battlements, and the Tubo archers were all in it when the yellow sand was wrapped around it. The Tubo people couldn't open their eyes, but they could see the figures clearly. The black shadows were like targets...
"shoot!"
Pei Min didn't want to shoot directly at the figure below without thinking, and he fell down.
After Pei Min, archers shot hard at the black shadow. Facing the dense shadows, where do you need to aim? The arrow technique is enough to be fatal.
With one round of fierce shooting, more than 200 Tubo soldiers fell to the ground tragically.
The wind and sand quickly dissipated, and Pei Min suddenly saw a special general in the enemy formation opposite. The man was wearing ring-lock armor and the armor was very gorgeous. The armor leaves on the left side of the front chest were actually gold and silver pieces, shining under the sun.
The ring lock armor is one of the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty and was introduced to China from the Western Regions. Because the Tang Dynasty often fought foreign wars, the opponents were either nomadic peoples or fishing and hunting peoples, and they were all good at shooting people. The ring lock armor, which was good at defending arrows, was extremely popular and had been particularly improved and had a wide variety.
Pei Min was once a member of the Ministry of War and worked in the Treasury Department. Although he had not officially joined the company, he was transferred from the Dragon Master to the Censorate. However, before the innate coup, he had a special understanding of the responsibilities of the Treasury Department of War. The Treasury was responsible for managing weapons and armor, and had a certain understanding of ring lock armor.
The ring-lock armor on the Tubo generals was a style used by the generals of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how the other party got it, it must be of a big background.
Pei Min did not hesitate, stretched out his arms and bent it into a full moon, and shot it with an arrow.
Pei Min had great improvement in her strength compared to the past. Within a hundred steps, the long arrow flew out and the arrow was so fierce that it was like Xue Na's original style of a magical arrow.
Carnegie felt a sharp murderous aura coming towards him. Before she could guess what was the reason, the sharp arrow broke through the crowd and stabbed into his throat... The ring lock armor did have the effect of "arrows cannot be entered", but it did not cover the weak part of the throat.
Carnegie opened her mouth, unable to say a word, and fell to the ground.
"hateful!"
In response to the young soldiers in Jincheng, Qili Xu specially used the siege tactics that Garqinling had tried and tried, and suppressed them. However, he didn't expect to break the sand and soil like this. He was so tired that his beloved general shot in front of the formation. He only roared loudly and shouted: "Press up, press up! Go to the city!"
Since you can't use it successfully, then be tough.
Taking advantage of the difficulty of the soldiers on the city coming out and shooting arrows vertically, they raised their shields, quickly and organizedly, and began to climb upwards; forty or fifty people pushed two siege chariots made of simple wooden stakes, and slowly approached from a distance under the protection of several layers of thick cowhide.
"The first team of archers retreated to rest, the second team of archers and left and right sides shot under the city... the thrower, the snatcher, and the snatcher stepped forward to defend the enemy." Pei Min saw that Tubo changed his tactics, and also changed the defensive plan as soon as possible.
During the days when Tubo was preparing for war, he had discussed with the Tang army soldiers a lot of ways to deal with offense and defense. Although the Tang army was not strong due to military system reasons, Jincheng had their parents and their own families. In order to protect the safety of their families, the defending army now regretted that they did not train carefully at the time and were particularly serious about Pei Min's temporary explanation.
His order was delivered, and the soldiers moved without hesitation.
The archers retreated, and the second team of archers shot left and right.
The thrower held up the rolling stones, and the siege was thrown toward the soldiers under the city. The approaching siege rushing vehicles were their main targets. The siege refusal skillfully supported the ladders and pushed the ladders high on the city wall one by one. Hundreds of Tubo soldiers fell from high altitude, some fell to the ground and could not get up for a while; some hit others, and several people collided together; some were landing on other people's weapons, with holes in their bodies and falling to the ground and tragic terror.
While taking charge of the overall situation, Pei Min looked at the ladder that did not leave in time and shot the soldiers who were about to climb up the city tower to death.
The battle lasted for only half an hour, and the lives of more than a thousand soldiers had been buried on the city tower...
This is the first time that Qilixu has experienced such a tragic siege. Even though he has long been used to life and death, he can't help but feel scared. He remembered a famous saying in "The Art of War": Attacking the city is the best, attacking the heart is the best!
Even if we knew that the tragic attack was in the city, we would never have expected that under the command of the other party, we would have paid more than a thousand soldiers in half an hour, but no soldiers on our side would have jumped to the top of the city.
Thinking about the information conveyed to him in the city, the one who controls the overall situation was a boy under twenty. A sharp look flashed in his eyes. Such a powerful character would definitely not be kept. Once Jincheng City was broken, kill Pei Min first!
Thinking of this, Qili Xu saw that the siege rushing car had already been smashed by the rolling stones and the wood was smashed. He waved his hand again and ordered people to transport the siege rushing car to the siege rushing car, and then added 5,000 troops to continue to put pressure. At the same time, he replaced the first wave of soldiers who had fought hard for half an hour to rest.
Jincheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is no shortage of trees around it. These days, he has built enough siege equipment and is not stingy to use.
Pei Min is very stable. His command is like his sword, accurate, fast and steady.
His people also entered the state of competing with others in swords. They had no distractions and issued different instructions according to the changes in the battle situation. From morning to night, from the rising sun to the sunset, the nine-wave offensives of Tubo were suppressed.
The continuous attacks made him not even care about eating a bite of food, and he could only drink water to quench his thirst.
At first, he was pressureless. He commanded properly and the soldiers responded appropriately. But as time went by, the disadvantage of few soldiers gradually reflected. Fighting under the scorching sun, the soldiers' physical energy was consumed very quickly. They gradually followed the instructions.
As for Pei Min, he had already abandoned the bow and arrow: bending the bow and shooting arrows, which consumed too much arm strength. In order to preserve his strength, as long as the Tubo soldiers did not go up to the city wall, he tried his best to avoid doing it himself, so as not to get tired first and ruin the overall situation...
Sudden!
The Tubo soldiers climbed the city on a large scale without reason, and one by one, the agile Tubo soldiers jumped onto the top of the city like monkeys.
They had no weapons in their hands and had an iron shield, forming a line of defense with each other, squeezing the space of the Tang army and covering the Tubo soldiers behind them into the city.
"The city is about to break."
A cheer came from outside the city!
Qilixu also laughed loudly, but the laughter had not lasted for thirty times, but two warriors climbing the city were dragging their bloody tails and falling from the city.
One after another!
After a few efforts, all the warriors who had just stepped up turned into corpses and were thrown down from the city wall.
"This?" Qilixu couldn't say a word.
Chapter completed!
