Da Sheng was so happy that he went crazy, and so did the Hu people.
Without the magic weapon that can attack from a distance, what can they use to smash the city gate to pieces?
Throw something at it!
how so?
What went wrong? !
The five major tribes were already divided, but now that the key weapon was broken, the leaders of the five tribes suddenly started to quarrel.
Just as Chang Wichang thought, these weapons are important weapons for their tribe. Not to mention Da Sheng's spies, even people from their own tribe can't get close!
Now that it suddenly breaks down, it must have nothing to do with Dasheng. It can only be caused by insiders from the five major tribes!
Withdrawing from the attack range of the trebuchets and crossbows, the leaders of the five major tribes stood on the bank of the Hulu River, blaming and doubting each other, and arguing about whether to continue the fight today.
The person in charge of the Bershot Department first checked the remaining ladders and siege vehicles. After confirming that there were no problems, they insisted on continuing the fight. They wanted to avenge Hakku.
Hakku is the number one warrior of the Bershuot tribe and the brother of the Great Khan. He has won many honors for their tribe in various competitions held by the five major tribes and is the face of their tribe.
Moreover, when their tribe used real swords and guns with other tribes, Hakku also won many victories for their tribe.
In the eyes of their tribe, Hakeku is not only the number one warrior of their Bershuote tribe, but also the number one warrior of the five major Donghu tribes!
Therefore, when the people from the Bershuot tribe saw Hakku sinking into the river, they immediately jumped into the cold river and fished out his body.
There were obvious cuts on the aorta on Hakku's hands and on his throat. The people in Bershuote's department couldn't figure out how the knives and ice in the river could cause such fatal wounds to him.
But he did die in the Hulu River.
The number one warrior of their tribe died before leaving the army, and he died in the river without defeating an enemy!
Just thinking about this kind of misfortune is enough to drive them crazy!
The person in charge of the Bershuote Department screamed like Chang Wuchang this time. Today, they must continue to attack the border town. They must avenge Hakku, rob the border town of food, meat, and coal, and must steal the food, meat, and coal from Dasheng's population. How to make mortar.
They want to loot the border town!
But people in the other four departments were hesitant.
Without the two long-range attack weapons, the trebuchet and bed crossbow, if they want to capture the border town, they can only rely on the lives of their tribal warriors to consume Dasheng's trebuchet and bed crossbow.
If this happens, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
However, if the trebuchet and bed crossbow are brought back and repaired before coming back, Dasheng will definitely increase their troops in large numbers.
By then, even if all the trebuchets and bed crossbows from the five major tribes were brought, it would definitely be a bloody battle.
The reason why they rushed over today with so much momentum was because they used half of their family resources to crush the border town in terms of weapons and numbers.
The second is that they are conducting a surprise attack and want to catch Chang Wuchang off guard.
Although the five major tribes of Donghu have 500,000 or 600,000 cavalry, in terms of hard power, they can never compete with Dasheng.
This time they exposed their true family background, and the Emperor of Dasheng would definitely send another army to support them.
If you miss this good opportunity to raid today...
well.
This time, half of the troops were used to attack Dasheng. Although it was a bit sudden, it was finalized after the five major tribes argued for a day.
It is an action taken after careful consideration.
There was no way, last year there was a locust plague, and a lot of pasture was gnawed clean by locusts.
The weather was too cold and many cattle and sheep froze to death.
They really can't hold on anymore.
If we don't grab food from Dasheng, many people will starve to death.
Moreover, since the beginning of the robbery boom, the private smuggling route has been almost completely cut off. Both ordinary herdsmen and nobles are facing the problem of shortage of supplies.
Therefore, the five major tribes thought for a long time and felt that this battle must be fought.
Since we have to fight sooner or later, it would be better to take advantage of the opportunity when Emperor Dasheng rewards the border officers with meat.
In order to stimulate their warriors, the two hundred thousand troops had a good meal before leaving.
As a result, a lot of stored grain was consumed.
If he went back empty-handed and repaired the weapon before coming back, even if it only took three days, it would still require a lot of food.
Three days would be enough for Da Sheng's reinforcements to arrive.
Besides, it will definitely not be able to be repaired in three days.
The five major tribes do not live together, and the other half of the wealth that each tribe uses for self-protection is in their respective hometowns.
At present, they are temporarily staying on the territory of the Bershot tribe.
The Bershuote tribe did not have the ability to repair the broken trebuchets and bed crossbows within three days. The trebuchets and bed crossbows dispatched today were the accumulation of many years of their five major tribes.
…
In that case, let’s fight!
After retreating, they faced a bloody battle again.
Today, without the long-distance attack of trebuchets and bed crossbows, it is still a bloody battle.
Then fight today!
How the trebuchet and bed crossbow broke down will be studied later when we get back. In addition to the trebuchet and bed crossbow, they also have ladders and siege engines.
They have twenty ladders and eight siege vehicles. These two heavy siege weapons cannot attack from a distance, but they are very effective in close attacks.
Moreover, in addition to heavy-duty ladders, they also have ordinary ladders without wheels. They have fifty of these lightweight ladders!
They had an army of 200,000, but there were only 100,000 in the border town, and they were overwhelmed in numbers.
As long as their warriors are stronger, they can also surround the border town with only ladders and siege engines!
So the Hu people who had just retreated approached the border town again.
Some people pushed ladders and siege engines quickly towards the north gate.
Some people carried lightweight ladders and ran to the north gate.
More people carried broadswords and bows and arrows and quickly crossed the ditch and headed straight for the north gate.
The relaxation here in the border town suddenly disappeared again.
When the Hu people retreated, many soldiers prayed in their hearts, hoping that the Hu people would retreat to give the court time to support them, but they did not expect that the Hu people would still attack.
Chang Wuchang had a sullen face and ordered to continue attacking the Hu people.
Dasheng's attack power is limited due to the limited area of the city building and the few trebuchets and bed crossbows.
But at this time, 200,000 barbarians were crowded together in the open space from Beidamen to Hulu River. The population density was high, so stones and arrows were able to achieve success every time.
Li Qiao had already put on his armor and helmet. He stared into the distance, and the water droplets moved together with the trebuchet and bed crossbow.
Wherever the stones and arrows went, his water droplets went there. He didn't care about the barbarians who were smashed or shot to death, but he quietly let the water droplets enter the wounds of those people who were smashed or shot, and then harvested their lives.
Anyway, the battlefield was in chaos. The barbarians were all busy running towards the north gate and had no time to take care of their companions. His little movements would not be noticed.
But there were too many barbarians, they were densely packed, and there were too few trebuchets and crossbows on Dasheng's side. Even if Li Qiao was quietly attacking, the lethality was still not enough.
The barbarians quickly rushed to the city.
One by one, lightweight ladders were placed against the city wall.
Heavy-duty ladders with wheels are also in place under the city wall.
Compared with ordinary ladders, lightweight ladders have the same appearance, but are much longer than ordinary ladders.
Once this kind of ladder is erected on the city wall, it is actually very difficult to knock it down by personal strength alone.
Because the ladder is too long, it is very heavy. If there are a bunch of people hanging on it, it will be even heavier. In addition, it is more firmly supported by the ground, so it is difficult for only one person to push such a long ladder.
As for the heavy-duty ladder with a base and wheels, such a large weapon is even more difficult to push.
When Chang Wuchang saw the barbarian's ladder set up on the city wall, he immediately had people use rolling logs and rocks to smash the barbarian down.
Dasheng's rolling logs were equipped with iron spikes. After the rolling logs were smashed down, they caused considerable casualties to the Hu people.
It was dropped directly, Li Qiao didn't care.
He killed all those who were injured and within his sight with drops of water.
He was still standing in the corner of the tower.
Behind him stood Li Man and the members of the Guards, all of whom were also wearing armor.
Chang Wu often found that the barbarians could not attack for a while, so he did not rush him down.
Because the Hu people not only used ladders to attack the city, they also used siege engines. The huge wood of the siege engine hit the closed gate, and the dull and loud noise cast a shadow on many soldiers.
In this case, the city is not necessarily safe.
However, something unexpected happened soon. The siege vehicle only hit three or four times, and the huge tree in the middle broke into two pieces.
It was not just this siege vehicle. The Hu people tried all eight siege vehicles. After each siege vehicle was hit three or four times, the giant wood in the middle suddenly broke.
This made the Hu people angry to death.
They had clearly checked just now, they had clearly checked carefully just now, and they chose to continue the siege only after confirming that the siege vehicles were fine. As a result, these eight vehicles broke down at the north gate?
Do you want to play with them like this? !
what's going on? !
Who did it? It's so secretive that they can't detect it at all!
Moreover, the siege vehicle is in trouble, but what about the ladder?
Is there anything wrong with the ladder?
The barbarian people looked at the densely packed ladders on the wall of the border city with fear, and there were several people hanging on each ladder.
But so far, these ladders are quite solid and there is nothing wrong with them...
Is there anything going on next?
