Although Xu Yunyan's military knowledge still needs to be improved, the previous preparations did not disappoint Xu Yunyan.
Thousands of Turkic cavalry charged forward, and when they were throwing arrows at Yunzhou City, the horses in the front suddenly disappeared mysteriously on the spot, and the Turkic cavalry carrying them also disappeared.
This suddenly surprised the Turkic cavalry who followed them. What is going on? Where have the companions in front gone?
But before they could think clearly, they were surrounded by cavalry from behind and continued to move forward, falling into the trench that Xu Yunyan had dug in advance.
"ah!"
This ditch is not absolutely safe. When some wounded soldiers and horses who fell into the ditch and were not killed by the wooden thorns inserted in the ditch were wailing here, more and more Turkic cavalry fell down. , even those who were not dead were stunned by the newly dropped Turkic cavalry.
When nearly half of the thousands of cavalry in the lead were lost, the remaining cavalry finally stopped their forward momentum and were stunned. And when these cavalry were like living sticks here, standing in Yunzhou City Xu Yunyan, who was shaking his head, took out the sword from his waist and waved it forward.
"Release the sword!"
Following this loud shout, hundreds of sharp swords on the top of Yunzhou City pierced the night sky, using the faint light to shoot at the stunned Turkic cavalry.
This attack, which was like a slap in the face, caused another injury to these thousands of cavalrymen. Although the number of arrows at one time was not large, the number of arrows was large, and quantitative changes led to qualitative changes.
When the leading cavalry finally came to their senses and began to cry for their parents and run back for their lives, only a few thousand returned to the main formation.
As soon as the Turkic cavalry retreated, the defenders of Yunzhou City began to cheer here. Xu Yunyan said proudly, "You see, the Turkic cavalry is not invincible."
Just now, more people were taken away by our attack than our defenders. Why are you worried about this?
Defend Yunzhou City and kill the Turkic dogs. "
Xu Yunyan was shouting at the top of his lungs. Soon, these soldiers were shouting here and there along with what Xu Yunyan was shouting.
A general in gorgeous armor at the center of the Turkic army couldn't help but get angry when he heard this voice.
"Damn it, let me continue to attack the city. We will attack Yunzhou City day and night, leaving no one behind, young or old."
When he said this, the general next to him felt a little embarrassed and said, "Khan Tuli, how can we attack the city without a siege ladder?"
Tu Li's face immediately changed, "Is this even necessary? Hurry up and take your troops to rush to seize the ladder to attack the city. As for these other subordinate tribes, let them go forward and shoot arrows first, and kill them no matter what." Go to Yunzhou City. We can't wait until our son is working on the project and there will be traps. These Han people are quite cunning."
When Tuli said this, the general next to him nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, Tuli Khan, let these small attached tribes attack the city first."
Following Tuli's arrangements, several small-scale cavalry were separated from the Turkic army and began to rush towards Yunzhou City.
Seeing the Turkic soldiers rushing forward with all their strength, Xu Yunyan waved the sword in his hand, temporarily suppressing what the cheering soldiers on the top of the city were saying to them.
"Did you see it? Soldiers, these Turkic soldiers have no brains. They want to attack the city without ladders. Can they attack it like this? This is a tribute to us. Follow me and continue to fire arrows to completely eliminate them. them."
Xu Yunyan's encouragement made the soldiers guarding Yunzhou City even more excited. Even the archers who had almost exhausted their energy by shooting arrows just now continued to use their bows and arrows to kill the Turkic soldiers.
The civilians were also here eager to try, and kept begging the archers, "Master, why don't I put in an arrow and give it a try. I used to hunt, and I can still draw this arrow."
But more people were there cheering and applauding.
"Look another one is shot."
"Look there's another one falling down."
While the top of Yunzhou City kept cheering, these Turkic cavalry crossed the first trench that was already filled with corpses and rushed towards Yunzhou City.
As these little Turkic leaders rushed, they waved their scimitars and shouted, "Come forward with me and fire arrows around Yunzhou City. Shoot all the Han people who dare to go against us." Kill, wait until Yunzhou City is broken, and then we can start robbing unscrupulously."
These little leaders just said this, and they took the lead and wanted to perform well in front of Tuli so that Tuli would take good care of them in the future.
It's just that they just shouted joy, and not long after running forward, one after another cavalry inexplicably fell into the ditch that was still there for some reason.
"Damn it, there are still ditches. The Han people are really treacherous. It's time for you to show your bravery as prairie athletes here. Shoot your arrows for me."
These little bosses roared loudly here. Although some cavalry fell into the trench surrounded by the rear, these little bosses did not take it seriously and roared loudly.
"Shoot your arrows and shoot them."
This Turkic cavalry is worthy of being a nation on horseback. Their riding skills and archery skills are both excellent. An arrow is shorter than that of the soldiers stationed in Yunzhou City, but the lethality of the arrow is not weak at all. It is aimed at the city head. Just cum up.
Seeing the bows and arrows fired by the Turkic cavalry, Xu Yunyan shouted "Defense!"
As these words fell, the defenders with shields hurriedly put their shields in front of themselves in order to protect themselves and some people behind them. However, the civilians without shields panicked and began to casually walk on the top of the city. Started running.
But there are so many soldiers on this city, where can they go?
Seeing this chaotic scene, Xu Yunyan shouted, "Stop it, lean against the wall, everyone lean against the wall."
However, Xu Yunyan's power is still limited. Although he kept yelling here, very few people heard him.
Just as Xu Yunyan was running forward, trying to persuade the people here not to be confused and to lean against the wall to avoid bows and arrows, several soldiers holding shields quickly came to Xu Yunyan and blocked him with shields.
Just after covering Xu Yunyan, Xu Yunyan was stunned and heard the sound of arrows being inserted into the wood, which shocked Xu Yunyan.
But before Xu Yunyan could react and thank the soldier holding the shield, one after another miserable howls sounded from the top of Yunzhou City.
It was the guards and civilians who were hit by arrows who were wailing helplessly here.
"Don't panic, don't be confused. The Turkic cavalry's bows and arrows are easy to treat. As long as you do as I say, there will be no problem."
Xu Yunyan braved the rain of Turkic bows and arrows to shuttle among the crowd, and began to teach them how to bandage wounds and how to treat the wounded.
