Seeing a hundred thousand soldiers and horses besieging Qingtang, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous.
Some of them were pale, some had teeth chattering up and down, and some were trembling.
Chaba Yundan has become a new recruit. Hearing that the nobles were coming to attack Qingtang City, he volunteered to join the battle.
Although he is a Chaba, he knows a very simple truth.
If the security team is defeated, their hard-earned happiness will be over.
Only by defeating those nobles together with the security team can their happy life continue.
But Yun Dan now regretted coming to the city wall. He did not expect that there were as many Tubo soldiers and horses in front of him as ants.
He looked at Jiangqu and Guge and found that they were not much better than him, and he couldn't help but tremble as well.
Seeing Yun Dan trembling constantly, Yi Shuitai thought he was a little cold.
"Yundan, you have added a sweater and leather armor, do you still feel cold?" Yi Shuitai asked with concern, "If it is cold, you can add a sweater."
"Yi Shichang, I'm cold," Yun Dan kept tapping his teeth up and down, "But the sweater, it's too late to add the sweater now."
What he actually wanted to say was that he didn't feel cold, but felt scared, so he had to find an excuse.
"Yundan, are you scared?" Yi Shuitai stepped forward and patted his shoulder, asking softly.
Hearing this, Yundan felt a little embarrassed and could only nod his head: "Yi Shichang, villain, villain, villain, you are really scared."
"What does this mean? When we fought with the Hu people in the Western County of the Great Song Dynasty, the Hu people were even more, half a million soldiers and horses." Yi Shuitai said calmly.
Yun Dan couldn't believe it even more, his eyes widened, and he seemed to have forgotten to tremble: "Yi Shichang, what, the Hu people still have half a million?"
"Because Xi County is right next to Hanzhong Mansion, the base camp of the Hu people, they dispatched 500,000 troops." Yi Shuitai said in an extremely calm tone.
At this time, Yun Dan realized that he was not trembling so much, and couldn't help asking: "What's the result?"
"Of course we defeated the Hu people. The Hu people lost 100,000 troops and horses, and then they came to Tubo." Yi Shuitai said still calmly.
Although Yun Dan calmed down, Jiang Qu and Gu Ge looked at Yi Shuitai talking to Yun Dan with doubtful expressions.
Jiangqu thought for a while and said quietly to Guge: "Isn't it possible that Yi Shichang said this just to comfort us?"
"That's right, we just heard him bragging, we didn't see it." Gu Ge couldn't help but tremble, and quietly said to Jiang Qu.
Although their voices were low, Yi Shuitai could still hear them.
He couldn't help but turn his eyes to Ma Li and thought to himself: "General, you can comfort me. Now the key is to look at you."
Ma Ma saw the eyes of Yi Shuitai and others, and of course he knew what they were thinking.
Morale is key and must be improved.
What to do, we have to think of a way.
Ma Ma was on the city wall, and when he saw Cisong shouting arrogantly, he had an idea.
He took out a clairvoyant, tied it to the hand-held bed crossbow, and aimed it at Tsushima.
With a pop, the horse power pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrows shot towards Cisong like lightning.
Cisong was shouting triumphantly when he suddenly heard a popping sound.
Suddenly, severe pain shot through his forehead, and his vision went dark.
Then he felt like the world was spinning, and with a bang, he fell straight from his horse to the ground.
The Tubo people behind saw Cisong falling and shouted loudly: "Cisong, get up, Cisong, get up."
Tsusumatsu didn't seem to hear him and remained motionless. It was obvious that he was already dying.
Suddenly, there was a cheering sound like a landslide and tsunami from the city wall.
This arrow of horse power greatly improves the morale of the recruits.
When Yun Dan, Jiang Qu and Gu Ge saw Ma Li, their eyes shone like stars: "General Ma, you are so powerful!"
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined." Jialuo was furious, waved his right hand, and shouted: "Attack me."
After speaking, he personally beat the cowhide drum and urged the soldiers to attack.
Hundreds of low horn horns and hundreds of cowhide drums were beating.
As expected, this sound was not concealed. Even though the war horses were not running, it still made people feel a great vibration, as if the earth was shaking.
The low horns and the exciting drums make people's blood boil.
Although there is heavy snow in the sky, the sound of drums and horns makes people more motivated to fight.
Under the command of centurions, thousands, and ten thousand captains, the blood of the archers was kindled by the beating of drums and the sound of horns.
Suddenly tens of thousands of bows and arrows rose from the ground, flying in the air like locusts.
The bow had to be re-strung after it was shot, so it took time.
Jialuo already had a way to divide the 40,000 archers into four batches of 10,000 each, and take turns shooting.
Not only is it neat, but its momentum is extremely scary.
He couldn't believe how many people were still alive in the city after being shot with hundreds of thousands of sharp arrows.
White snowflakes were originally flying in the air, but now they were taken away by arrows like locusts and flew directly towards the city wall.
Ma Ma smiled coldly, took out his sound transmitting instrument, and shouted loudly: "Table formation."
A row of tables suddenly appeared on the city wall of Qingtang City, arranged along the city wall, as if adding the height of an Eight Immortals table to the city wall.
But there are too many arrows down there, and the one where thousands of arrows are fired at once is no joke.
Many arrows have already crossed the table formation and flew towards the city wall and even the city.
Xu Hong hurriedly led his men and took away the Eight Immortals Table to form a second line of defense to stop fish that slipped through the net.
But there were too many fish that slipped through the net. Although they tried their best to block them, many arrows still penetrated through.
Fortunately, there was a third line of defense composed of shields, which had already crowded the entire city wall and seemed extremely passive. A few people were still injured by arrows.
"The city wall plus an Eight Immortals table." Ma Li shouted loudly.
When someone was resisting with a shield, Yi Shuitai and his men immediately found two Eight Immortals tables.
Yi Shuitai stood on the Eight Immortals Table and added another Eight Immortals Table on top of the original table array.
After a while, there was another row of tables, making the city wall taller and adding another Eight Immortals table.
The Tubo soldiers had never seen the table formation before, and they were all stunned for a moment.
What kind of formation is this? Not only does it make the city wall taller, but it also surprises them behind.
Bang bang, bang bang, arrows kept hitting the Eight Immortals Table, and then fell from the Eight Immortals Table.
Lajia, Chilie and the others looked at each other with horrified looks in their eyes.
Lajia was secretly happy in her heart, but said with great regret: "Chilie, what kind of magic did the Han people use to make this thing like the Table of Eight Immortals make arrows fall?"
"Lajia, could it be that the little saint is really Manjusri Bodhisattva, and he can actually protect the city from being attacked?" Chilie was also happy, so he changed his perspective to explain.
Jia Luo felt his face burning, as if someone was slapping him.
Jialuo is not a fool, he figured it out after thinking about it for a while.
He could now see that the Han people had obviously added a layer of things that he didn't know about on the Eight Immortals Table.
If you raise the city wall, is there nothing I can do?
He thought for a while and smiled coldly: "Get closer to the city wall and raise the angle."
"Add another Eight Immortals table." Seeing Tubo's arrows raised again, Ma Li ordered in a deep voice.
Yi Shuijin and his men carried four Eight Immortals tables, two of which were placed on the corridor of the city wall, and the other one was placed on the two tables.
He climbed up to the Eight Immortals Table and added another table to the two Eight Immortals Tables on the city wall.
In this way, another Eight Immortals Table was added to the wall of Qingtang City, which already increased the height of the city wall by ten feet.
A cruel smile appeared on Jia Luo's face: "A little higher, raise your shot."
"No." Commander Qu Li nodded and immediately sent the order. He had stayed in Qingtang City and knew that its walls were only two feet wide.
Although the Eight Immortals Table has strong protective capabilities, it has a weakness and cannot be stacked infinitely high.
After all, it is the Eight Immortals Table superimposed on top. It is far less solid than a real city wall. At the same time, it is also affected by the people and things supported below.
He thought for a while and asked Dele, another captain of ten thousand men: "Dele, this city wall is only two feet wide. How many layers of Eight Immortals tables can be accommodated?"
Dele and Qu Li are about forty years old and both are eight feet tall.
Dele has a black beard, a round face, and a stout body. Quli does not have as much beard as him, has a square face, and is equally stout.
Neither Deqin nor Qu Li were cavalry; they were both captains of infantry.
Jialuo also has cavalry, but they are heavy cavalry, and their number is not large, only a thousand, led by Ciji, the commander of thousands.
Although there are not many heavy cavalry, they are the backbone.
Xixia was founded nearly two hundred years ago. Its ability to survive in the Song, Liao, and Jin kingdoms mainly relied on heavy cavalry.
Xixia's heavy cavalry was no more than three thousand.
Although Jialuo is a great nobleman, king of France, and right prime minister, he is not a country after all. Being able to support a thousand heavy cavalry is his limit.
The fact that Geji can be regarded as a big talk is naturally related to his military strength. Although he has no infantry, he has 13,000 cavalry under his command.
Last time, in order to prevent the security team from rescuing the skinned female Langsheng, he spent a lot of money and sent out the most precious thousand heavy cavalry.
But the unexpected result was that he lost more than 300 of his thousand heavy cavalry, which made him heartbroken.
Fortunately, he was not as unlucky as his brother. The entire cavalry was defeated by the security regiment and surrendered.
With these more than 600 cavalry as a foundation, he quickly formed another 1,000 cavalry, basically maintaining the original combat strength.
However, the experience of fighting with the security group has left a shadow in his heart. He will not let the heavy cavalry attack unless it is absolutely necessary.
When Dele heard Jialuo's question, he thought for a moment and bowed before answering: "His Majesty, the wall of Qingtang City is not wide, only two feet, and there are defenders standing behind it. The limit of being able to stack three Eight Immortals tables is already high." .”
Hearing this, Jia Luo couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Qu Li, raise it up, then raise it up and shoot." Jialuo asked the messenger to give Qu Li an order.
The messenger nodded and came back soon, bowing to Jialuo.
Naturally, he did not dare to raise his head, but looked into the eyes of Jia Luo's horse and said: "Report to the Dharma King, General Qu Li said that the arrow can only reach this height, there is no way to go higher."
Hearing this, Jialuo couldn't help but frown.
"Dele, I don't know what was added to the security team's table formation, but it's not afraid of arrows. How can it be cracked?" Jialuo didn't care about embarrassment at this time, so he had no choice but to ask shamelessly.
As a right prime minister, he was able to gain a firm foothold in Tubo. In fact, he was very skillful in leading troops.
But what he never expected was that the security team did not play their cards as he imagined, so he had to ask his subordinates.
Dele looked up at the Eight Immortals Table on the city wall, thought for a moment, bowed and said: "His Holiness, since it is made of wood, it must be afraid of fire, so you might as well try it with a rocket."
Jialuo actually thought so too, but he didn't have as much experience as Dele and the others, so he decided to seek their opinions.
He was overjoyed to hear that Dele had the same idea as him.
"Fire attack, rocket, rocket." Garro shouted at Dele.
"No." Dele bowed and immediately arranged for the rocket to go.
Jialuo was vibrating the war drum desperately while looking at the table array on the city wall. He couldn't help but sneer: "One hundred thousand rockets, let's see how long you can withstand it?"
Lajia and Chilie were also nearby, and they exchanged glances with each other.
"Jia Luo still has a way of directing battles." La Jia sighed.
Chi Lie frowned and looked at the city wall: "I wonder what else the Han people can do?"
