King Zuo Xian was furious when he heard that not only did Chang Sun Chong not be captured, but his army of foreigners actually followed Chang Sun Chong and ran away, and the people he sent were also killed. This made King Zuo Xian furious. Perhaps shock would be more appropriate.
He never expected that his foreign army would actually break away from the Western Turks and follow Zhang Sun.
"I just say that none of these Han people are good, they are all ambitious!"
"This Changsun Chong is really nothing. We took him in with kindness, but he actually did such a thing. It's unforgivable, unforgivable!"
"Kill him, must kill him!!!"
"Find someone from the Hong Qing Gang and ask them to hand over Changsun Chong!"
"I'm afraid the Hongqing Gang is behind this. Do they think we Western Turks are easy to bully?"
"Shut up, everyone!!!" King Zuo Xian scolded with a livid face.
All the generals kept silent and looked at King Zuo Xian with a faint look of gloating.
Even the Western Turks are not monolithic. There are also various forces that restrict each other. King Zuoxian's team cannot be all his people. There are also people from other forces. They cooperate with each other and restrict each other. Of course, when adding insult to injury, they also They would step on each other together. King Zuo Xian is in such a state now that they don't mind stepping on him at this time.
Looking at the generals, King Zuo Xian wanted to pick up his sword and kill all these people who were gloating about their misfortune, but he could only think about it. If he really did this, he was afraid that he would be jointly sanctioned by everyone. Even Khan Can't save him.
The most important thing right now is to capture Dingxiang City. As for Changsun Chong, he doesn't have time to take care of it. As long as he captures Dingxiang City, everything will be easy. If he doesn't capture it, new and old debts will have to be settled together.
Seeing that it was noon and there was still no progress in Dingxiang City, King Zuo Xian became a little bit impatient, and his horse went to the front line in person.
"Charge, charge!!!" King Zuo Xian roared from behind holding a scimitar.
But when he saw that the group of people who had just rushed forward were instantly pushed back, King Zuo Xian's face became increasingly ugly.
The artillery was so powerful that it could create a large crater with one shot, killing and injuring hundreds of people around it. No matter how brave his infantry was, they could not resist this weapon.
Even close to the city wall, there are still wooden lumps thrown down. Although the effect is not as powerful as the artillery, it is not small. There are also small pits under the city wall, and corpses are piled up everywhere.
And as there are more and more big pits, it is difficult to transport siege equipment forward. There is no way to attack Dingxiang City entirely by relying on ladders. Otherwise, approaching the city wall is a death, which is tantamount to sending people away. Head.
Compared to King Zuo Xian, the situation in Dingxiang City is better, but this is only relative.
Li Jing's situation is actually not that good. There are only more than 40,000 people in Dingxiang City, and defending three city walls is very stressful.
In addition, the enemy's attack was also suppressed by crossbowmen, and the casualties were also considerable.
In one morning, there were 8,000 casualties, which reduced the originally small number of soldiers by one-sixth. There were still artillery. Regardless of the consumption of the wooden lumps, once the wooden lumps were gone, the artillery could not be used. They were afraid that the Western Turkic army would soon attack the city wall.
Both sides are fighting, desperately, and exhausted. If the one who can't bear it first will lose.
"Commander, there are not many wooden lumps left, and several artillery pieces are no longer usable. We can't hold it anymore!"
Yuchi Jingde came to Li Jing and said bitterly, he is a brave man, but in the face of such a situation, no matter how brave he is, it is useless. Although he can lead his troops out of the city to fight, the enemy is eager to do so. After all, the enemy has hundreds of thousands, so you can More than 40,000 people are not of the same level at all.
"How many rolling logs and stones are there?" Li Jing asked expressionlessly.
"There isn't much left. The enemy has sealed the city and has consumed a lot in the past few days. We haven't been able to leave the city to replenish it. I'm afraid it will be exhausted in half an hour at most." Yuchi Jingde replied.
"Tell Li Ji to transport all the materials from the west city wall to the north city wall, east city wall, and west city wall. Only 2,000 people will be left to defend the west city wall, and the rest will all be mobilized to the east city wall and the north city wall!" Li Jing said in a deep voice! .
"Commander, if the enemy feints his shot and does this on purpose, wouldn't it be dangerous to wait for our troops to leave before attacking the west wall?" Hou Junji's expression changed slightly.
"Now we can only make a desperate move. Otherwise, we can't stop the Western Turks' attack!!!" Li Jing took a deep breath and said. He was betting that no one would attack the Western City Wall, and that something might happen to the Western Turks. If the bet is right, he can continue to persevere; if the bet is wrong, he will be doomed!
