The situation ahead was immediately reported to King Zuo Xian. He heard reports from his men that there were actually more artillery on the two walls of Dingxiang City today than yesterday, and as soon as their people attacked the city, Dingxiang City used artillery. , which frightened those foreign races, which made King Zuo Xian frown slightly.
Obviously he didn't expect that Dingxiang City would adopt such a method, but he underestimated the Tang people!
However, he quickly caught the difference in the news reported by his subordinates.
"There are no cannons on the east wall?"
Hearing what King Zuo Xian said, the spy who reported the news hurriedly said: "There are no cannons on the east wall, but there are many giant ballistae. The crossbow arrows fired by these ballistae will also explode, causing heavy casualties to the aliens. "
"Catalogue? Crossbow arrows? In other words, what kind of wooden knots did the Tang army tie to the crossbow arrows?"
"The people of the Tang Dynasty are really smart. They can actually think of such a way to stop the army's attack. But, they think this is enough?" King Zuo Xian murmured to himself.
The rest of the people did not dare to speak, just waiting for King Zuo Xian's order.
"Since the enemy has changed his tactics, if we don't change, wouldn't we be sorry for their feelings?"
"Give me an order to mobilize half of the crossbowmen to the east. Let the foreigners charge for me first. With the crossbows at the back, let me shoot hard at the Tang army on the city. As long as the east is captured, Dingxiang City will be defeated." Take it!" King Zuo Xian ordered.
Soon, the Western Turkic army began to mobilize. Teams of crossbowmen were mobilized and gathered towards the east. At the same time, the foreigners were organized again after retreating and attacked Dingxiang City.
The battle started again, this time more intense.
The artillery kept firing, repelling the attacks organized by the aliens.
However, the east wall is not optimistic. After repelling the first wave of alien attacks, although there is breathing time to load the crossbows, the speed is really not flattering. When the second wave of aliens begin to attack the city, At that time, the crossbow arrows were loaded and fired at the aliens.
However, this time, the foreigners did not retreat as before. Behind them were a group of Western Turkic cavalry. Their task was not to attack the city, but to urge the foreigners to attack. Anyone who dared to retreat would be killed without mercy!
With the supervision of these Western Turkic cavalry, the foreigners did not dare to run even if they wanted to. They could only move forward bravely and attack the city wildly.
There is still a glimmer of hope in the siege. Not only is there a glimmer of hope, but with luck, you may be able to kill the enemy general and get meritorious service. The prince has said that anyone who can kill the enemy general can be promoted to the capital. of! If you can become the ruler of the capital, you don't have to work hard anymore and you can still enjoy the blessings!
With such thoughts, the aliens became even more desperate for their lives.
Although the crossbows on the city wall would kill many of them, most of them would be fine.
Looking at the menacing aliens, Niu Jinda's face was extremely ugly, and he kept urging the crossbow to shoot the crossbow arrows, but the crossbow could not pull the string fully for a while, and even Niu Jinda's urging was of no avail.
"Where are the crossbowmen, shoot for me, prepare the rolling logs and rocks, and prepare the wooden lumps for me. The enemy is coming. We can't let them come up. Stop them! Stop them!!!" Niu Jinda pulled out the gun from his waist. Saber gave the order.
Not only that, he sent messengers to report what happened here to Li Jing. If he didn't report it, the situation here was very bad.
Just after the messengers left, the foreigners had already attacked the city. The ladders were set up on the city, and the siege chisels were pushed to the city gate, preparing to rush into the city gate. Once the city gate was opened, Dingxiang City would be destroyed. broken.
Not only that, when the foreigners attacked the city and the soldiers on the city blocked it, behind the Western Turks, the general in charge of the east wall gave the order for the crossbowmen to fire.
Suddenly, arrows fell like raindrops towards Dingxiang City.
This move was exactly what Changsun Chong had tried many times before, using his own life to exchange the lives of the defenders of Dingxiang City.
For a moment, there were screams both on and off the city. This kind of indiscriminate attack did not care whether you were a foreigner or a Tang army!
The sudden scene caught the Tang army by surprise. They wanted to continue to block the aliens attacking the city, but the arrow attack forced them to temporarily avoid it.
As for their evasion, the foreigners naturally would not let go of such an opportunity and climbed towards the city one after another.
Niu Jinda also noticed this situation. His eyes widened and he roared at his men: "Where is the shield? Hurry up and set up the shield. Come out and stop those aliens. They are about to attack!!! "
