Helilach didn't speak, but not speaking at this time was equivalent to acquiescing to Yan Lipu's judgment. The two or five boys in the city would have paid off at other times. Now there must be someone who dares to take a gamble and open the city gate to the Han army at night. This is outrageous. matter.
After all, if you give it a try, the trajectory of your life can change. In this case, some guys who are ambitious but have always been subordinated to others have no problem taking a chance.
"So I'm here. I'm trying my best. I can hold on for at least ten days by relying on my mental images. And if I hold on for one more day, I can be more prepared. After all, I am also an orthodox Yuezhi, even if I become a Brahmin and become a Kshatriya , I am also a descendant of the Dayue clan." Yan Lipu said calmly, "So I am here. Since this city will be lost to anyone who guards it, and will die if it is lost, then it is better for me to come."
Helilahe looked at Yan Lipu and was silent for a long time, then sighed, "Actually, the most important thing is to let me take the responsibility. Your Majesty is reluctant to kill a civil servant with the glory of the world."
Yan Lipu glanced at Helilach and said, "You have done well enough. This time I can only say that I waited too long for a big victory and gave up before seeing good results, which led to a reversal of victory and defeat."
"Brahe has fallen, where should I go next?" Helilach looked at Yan Lipu and said. He was definitely not as smart as him, but Yan Lipu's previous operation, which could be called a quick knife to cut through the mess, made Helilach The decision-making ability to recognize the other party's critical moment is actually very strong.
"Go to Khos Roy." Yan Lipu said almost without thinking, "Putting aside things like his background, in good conscience, Khos Roy is really a genius. He can achieve the command of a large army, or he already is. "
"Really?" Helilach lowered his head and thought. He already understood what Yan Lipu meant. From a national perspective, if he went to join Kusroy, he could quickly enter Kusroy's circle and let Kusroy Stop thinking about the dos and don'ts and focus on the military.
"Yes." Yan Lipu looked at Helilach, and Helilach shook his head, and then left. Yan Lipu looked at Helilach's back. He believed that Helilach was more powerful than him. Know what's going on with Khosroi.
The reason why Khusroi did not become the commander-in-chief is not as simple as Oswin said. It is also very clear that the existence of the Dalit-Chula dynasty and the subsequent Kunwu state, in these places, Dalits were able to be normal. survival.
In fact, even Zhu Helai couldn't figure out what kind of mentality Khusroi had in continuing to fight. If the dawn is the hope of Dalits, then Khosroi taking the dawn to join the Han Dynasty is completely in line with Dalits. hope.
If it is a blessing, after Rahul's death, Khusroi could actually rest peacefully. At least Vesudeva I really had no kindness towards Khusroi.
Even if the Brahmins are reshaped and the status of Khusroi and Dawn is elevated, it is essentially different from the situation where Kou Jun kicks Dalit Dawn soldiers next door.
If we don't understand this issue clearly, Khosroi is a time bomb. He has every reason to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. It is actually normal behavior for him to join the Han Dynasty with the dawn of hope.
But under such a normal premise, Khusroi is still fighting conscientiously. The top management of Kushan inevitably has some murmurs, but the current environment cannot conduct in-depth investigation. Instead, Khusroi has to delegate power. And this time when Brahe collapsed, Khosroi really has a bright road ahead.
No one can prevent Khusroi from becoming the head coach, no matter in terms of qualifications or ability. Therefore, Yan Lipu’s so-called asking Helilach to join Kusroi is actually not necessary. His meaning is very clear. Let Helilach keep an eye on it.
"How did this country become like this? Why did it disappear inexplicably? Why is there only one Khosroi who has the ability to command a large army?" Yan Lipu asked the shield guards filling the moat softly. It was clear that they had several qualified generals in Guishan.
The shield guard soldiers threw away their shields and carried big sandbags and rushed towards the moat of Balayaga. There was basically no danger when they went there, unless they were really unlucky and were shot by crossbows placed on the city wall.
By the way, this probability is very low, because the fixed bed crossbow on the city wall has a very small inclination, so unless it is really unlucky, it will generally not be shot.
As for ordinary bows and arrows and crossbows, with the cushioning of more than 100 kilograms of sandbags, even if they are nailed through, the armor can withstand it, so safety is guaranteed when going there.
Precisely because safety was guaranteed when he went there, Yu Jin organized the first wave of 30,000 people out of efficiency considerations, and despite the rain of arrows and stones from Kushan, they filled up a large section of the moat in one go. Such a wide area One section is enough for more than a dozen ladders to climb the city at the same time.
Then in front of Guishang, Yu Jin organized a large number of ladders to be tied up and prepared to forcibly attack the city from all directions.
Looking at this scene, Yan Lipu breathed a sigh of relief. Without other siege weapons, it would not be a big problem for them to hold on this time. But if they hold on this time, they will have a foundation of faith to continue to hold on, even if this foundation is very weak. It's enough to last more than ten days.
"Shield guards prepare!" After Yu Jin's soldiers rushed out and tied up more than fifty ladders, he directly ordered the shield guards to launch a strong attack.
A shield guard soldier without a shield was holding a ladder with one hand and rushed towards Baloyaga in a vigorous manner. Behind him were more than fifty standard shield guard soldiers. More than fifty teams of more than fifty soldiers headed towards Baloyaga. They launched a strong attack on the east city wall, and then a large number of shield guards joined forces to attack the east city gate carrying a century-old giant tree.
"Kill!" The drums roared, and the soldiers of the Han army roared and rushed towards the east wall of Balayaga. There is no doubt that this was not a tentative attack, but the Han army really wanted to capture it in one go. Balayaga!
"Boil the fire oil and prepare the rocks!" Yan Lipu ordered loudly.
At the same time, after more than 50 Han army ladders were set up directly on the top of the city, the Kushan soldiers reflexively began to use forks to overthrow the Han army's ladders. However, the vigorous shield guards charged very quickly. Almost as soon as the ladder stood firm, he rushed towards the top of the city. Luring the enemy and climbing the city were all great achievements.
Soon, three or five shield guards rushed to the top, but before they could reach the top, they saw a large stone smashing down. Even if they relied on their shields to resist, it would be impossible to unload the force in a place like this. He was so shocked that he lost his balance and fell directly from the ladder. A fierce offensive and defensive battle began immediately.
"Fire arrows!" Natara mobilized the archers to directly guard the position where the Han army's ladder landed. He measured half of his body and aimed directly at the shield guard. The dense rain of arrows was placed elsewhere, relying on the cover of the shield. The shield guard wouldn't care at all, but on the ladder, the exposed arm would inevitably be shot, and even the shoulder armor and other parts would inevitably be hit.
More importantly, when it is further away, even if it hits, it will not penetrate. But when the shield guard forces the ladder to break through, the furthest distance will not exceed twenty meters. At this distance, the archer will not be able to penetrate. Both the hit rate and power have reached the highest level.
So much so that from time to time, a shield guard soldier would fall off the ladder with a groan. Even if he fell off the ladder wearing such heavy armor, even if he was thick-skinned and not killed on the spot, it would inevitably be an internal injury. Fortunately, there was someone nearby. Some comrades quickly carried him away.
But even so, relying on their strong defense power, the shield guards would board the city from time to time. However, the scattered shield guards would inevitably be unable to cope with the Kushan soldiers forming a blockade on the city. Even if they succeeded, If you rush up, you will be quickly pushed off the city wall before you can stand still.
In addition, at this time of risking one's life, Kuishang even turned his back on his old story. On the top of the eastern wall of Baloyega, there was a Qigong Chenggang stationed every ten steps, which was used by Yan Lipu to strengthen the organization. The key to strength is also the backbone used to lead the charge.
These more than 100 Qi masters, in this environment, led the secret guards, which greatly enhanced their ability to attack a single elite soldier of the Han army.
"This won't work, I'll take the lead in charging." Taishi Ci watched as the five waves of charges failed to produce any results. The shield guards who rushed to the city were either knocked off the city wall by Guishang, or were besieged by a group of people. On the spot, he carried Fang Tian Hua Ji greeted quite angrily.
"That's fine." Yu Jin glanced at Tai Shici, made an estimate in his mind, nodded, and once again ordered the shield guards to organize manpower to attack the city.
To be honest, on the eve of the siege, the newly joined miscellaneous soldiers should have been used to consume the enemy's energy. However, Yu Jin comprehensively evaluated the situation and felt that it was better to use the shield guards. At least the shield guards rushed in and the losses were small, just like the five waves now. After the attack, no more than two hundred soldiers of the shield guards were killed.
Of course, no less than 800 shield guards fell from the ladders and city walls, but most of them were seriously injured rather than killed. Yu Jin was also evaluating the defensive capabilities of the Kushan City Wall.
After Guishang repelled the fifth wave, there was no pause in the Han army. The sixth wave, led by Taishi Ci, launched directly. The number of more than fifty ladders has now increased to more than eighty. During the siege process, In the middle, the soldiers of the Han army who had been slightly injured before and were somewhat affected by their flexibility were working hard to build ladders.
To be honest, thanks to the abundance of bamboo here, the direct production of bamboo ladders is of poor quality but very efficient. Therefore, during the siege of the city, bamboo ladders were continuously produced, allowing the Han army to continuously increase its attack surface. , is also constantly increasing the pressure on Kushan to defend the city.
In fact, this was also one of Yu Jin's psychological offensives, which continuously increased the pressure on the Balayaga defenders and made them doubt the fact that they were defending the city.
Precisely because of the continuous flow of new bamboo ladders into the battlefield, even if the Kushans succeeded in burning some of the bamboo ladders in the Han Dynasty in each round, the scale of the Han army's offensive was still getting bigger and bigger, which caused psychological pressure on the Kushan soldiers. It's also getting heavier.
Under the leadership of Taishi Ci, the sixth wave of offensive seemed very tough from the beginning. Taishi Ci, carrying a large shield in one hand and Fang Tian's painted halberd on his back, rushed towards Baluoye against a large block of stone. At the head of Jiacheng, Taishi Ci fought for his injuries the first time he rushed forward. He swept through thousands of troops and directly killed the surrounding Kushan soldiers.
Such an explosive behavior bought time for the shield guards behind them to climb up. But before the new shield guards on the top of the city could stand firm, more Kushan soldiers rushed up under the leadership of Lian Qi Chenggang. Taishi Ci braved the heavy clouds and killed the backbone of Kushan.
Then more Kushan soldiers rushed over, and various projectile weapons, bows, arrows and crossbows shot towards Taishi Ci. In these few meters around, even Taishi Ci could not parry them all, so he could only He struggled to deflect some of the attacks, then roared and rushed into the circle of Kushan soldiers, while several shield guards behind him had already rushed up.
"Kill!" Taishi Ci led the shield guards and began to block the position of the ladder, preparing for more soldiers to climb the city wall. However, before Taishi Ci could stand firm, the soldiers on the opposite side suddenly gave way, and two men were holding a large bucket of burning fire. The soldiers poured kerosene directly at Taishi Ci.
Taishi Ci was paralyzed by this scene. If he could release his inner energy, he would have carried it directly. But now the cloud was suppressing it and a ghost was released. Taishi Ci reluctantly used his shield to parry, but he was inevitably splashed with fire oil, and the surrounding area was filled with direct fire. Caught in a sea of fire, the subsequent shield guards wanted to continue to climb the city, but they had no choice in the face of such a sea of fire.
Then a large rain of arrows covered it. Taishi Ci and several shield guards who were covered in smoke looked at each other, held their ground for a few seconds, and jumped over the wall to run away. Several shield guards jumped When the wall came down, he was somewhat injured. Taishi Ci turned around and rushed towards another ladder, and quickly climbed to the city successfully.
But this time he still didn't last long. The disadvantage of the ladder was that there were too few people who could climb the city in a short time. Facing the prepared Kushan army, Taishi Ci could not withstand their various attacks and could not hold out for too long. For a long time, I could only jump across town and run away.
It was not until the fourth time he rushed to the city wall that Taishi Ci met Yan Lipu and his entourage who had been prepared for it. They had specially warmed fishing nets, four internal energy detachments, and prepared bed crossbows.
To be honest, if Taishi Ci had not capsized three times in succession and was well prepared when he boarded the city, if the first wave had encountered this configuration, Taishi Ci's people might have been wiped out.
So after the sixth wave retreated, Taishi Ci suggested with a look of embarrassment that Yu Jin should give up the attack and wait until the siege equipment was ready before attacking. At present, the only siege equipment the Han Dynasty could provide were ladders and manned rams, and the former was not very effective. , the latter completely made up for it, and even the Han army clearly did not have enough cover. After all, most of the Han army prepared were crossbows, the frequency was too low, and the hit rate was poor...
"Almost, the last wave." Yu Jin glanced at Tai Shici, then at Xu Chu's headquarters who had transferred the super horse-killing sword from the camp and said.
