As Yuchi Gong and others rode away, the various flags of the Tang army began to wave, conveying various orders to the army.
Soon, each phalanx quickly gathered towards their respective generals, and then ran in different directions under the leadership of their respective generals.
For a moment, outside Yuzhong City, people shouted and horses neighed, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
The soldiers and horses behind Li Jing were not idle either.
Not long after, dozens of winch crossbows were pushed out of the phalanx by hundreds of crossbowmen wearing leather armor.
The crossbow arrows, which had a rough surface and were thicker than gun shafts, were all aimed at the top of the city.
Following the crossbowmen were groups of Tang infantry wearing iron armor, holding shields in their left hands and horizontal swords in their right hands.
In addition, there were two troop carriers loaded with war drums, slowly stopping in front of the infantry.
...
On the top of the city, Murong Sheng looked at the dozens of crossbows and well-equipped soldiers below the city with a gloomy expression.
He couldn't figure out why Li Jing was so decisive.
This determination even made him a little flustered.
At this moment, the dark-skinned man suddenly ran up to Murong Sheng and said hurriedly:
"General, the Tang army is divided into four groups. It looks like they are preparing to attack the city from four directions. What should we do next?"
Murong Sheng raised his eyebrows and said coldly:
"Why are you panicking?"
"My purpose is to let them attack the city. Otherwise, why do you think I would provoke them?"
"Send the order and ask the leaders of each department to lead their troops to guard the city wall for me. Tell them that this is all the strategy of the military adviser. The first battle will be the decisive battle, and the outcome will be decided in one battle."
"As long as we hold on for three hours, a large number of reinforcements will arrive."
"At that time, I will personally lead the team out of the city, cooperate with the inside and outside, and kill the Tang army without leaving any leather armor behind, haha."
The dark man was shocked when he heard this.
"Yes, General."
After saying that, the dark man laughed and turned and left.
Murong Sheng took a deep breath and waved to the guards on the side.
The bodyguard came forward, prostrated on the ground, and worshiped:
"Owner."
Murong Sheng slowly exhaled a breath, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to his bodyguard.
"Heiniu, take my token and go to Liujiahu Ridge to find Prince Liang immediately."
"Tell Prince Liang that this general has completely angered the Tang people, and they are desperately attacking Yuzhong City."
"And I will lead my troops to fight to the death and hold on for four hours. By then, the Tang army will be exhausted. If my Tuyuhun army can descend from the sky, I will definitely be able to catch the Tang army by surprise and decide the outcome in one battle."
"The general hopes that King Liang can seize this opportunity."
"..."
"But if after five hours, if no reinforcements are seen, I will lead the troops to break out."
The personal guard named Hei Niu carefully put the token into his arms and bowed:
"I understand, little one. Master, take care."
"Well, go ahead."
"Yes, Master."
.......
outside the city,
A captain galloped up to Li Jing, performed a military salute, and said loudly:
"Report to the General Manager, the crossbowmen are ready and ready to attack at any time."
Li Jing nodded and said:
"Bang the drum."
"Here."
A troop carrier loaded with war drums,
The two shirtless drummers looked at each other and nodded after seeing the flag.
The two people spat into their hands, then rounded the drumsticks in their hands, and then smashed them hard on the war drum that was more than one foot high.
"Dong dong dong..."
The drum beat sounded, and the captain standing next to the crossbowman immediately waved the military flag in his hand and shouted:
"Fire arrows."
With an order.
Dozens of winch crossbows were launched in unison, and each thick arrow, with the sound of breaking through the air, was shot into the solid wall of Yuzhong City one after another.
The Tuyuhun people on the city wall couldn't help but tremble with their legs, even though they knew the arrows were not fired at them. Many people even trembled with their legs and fell limply on the city wall.
After three rounds of volleys, the east wall of Yuzhong City was shot into a hedgehog.
Upon seeing this, Li Jing reached out and pulled out a long sword from his waist, pointing the sword at Yuzhong City.
"Kill all these barbarians and avenge the dead people! Kill, kill, kill."
As Li Jing finished speaking, the soldiers who could no longer restrain themselves immediately rushed towards Yuzhong City like a tide.
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious, kill."
Murong Sheng, who was wearing golden armor and a golden helmet on the top of the city, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva when he saw this scene.
"Quick, beat the drum, get ready to meet the enemy."
"Everyone cocks their bows and arrows. When the enemy approaches, release them immediately to show the people of Tang Dynasty my archery skills of Tuyuhun."
"..."
"Shoot the arrows and don't let them get even half a step closer to the city wall."
"...."
As Murong Sheng issued orders one after another, the Tuyuhun soldiers at the top of the city also started to move.
As a nomadic people, riding horses and archery are their basic skills, just like eating and drinking.
The Tyuhun people, who were originally timid in the face of the menacing Tang army, quickly organized a counterattack after Murong Sheng gave the order.
Soon, thousands of arrows were shot towards the Tang army like raindrops.
The Tang army outside the city suddenly heard a roar.
"Shield!" "Shield!" "Shield!"
As the words fell, the shields glowing with oil were raised high by Tang Jun.
"Ding...ding...ding..."
Countless arrows were blocked by the shield one after another and fell to the ground.
Only a few unlucky soldiers were hit in the arms or thighs by the barbarian's arrows, but soon these soldiers pulled out the arrows on their bodies, gritted their teeth and continued to attack with the large army.
The Tyuhun people who were originally confident on the city couldn't help but look at each other after seeing that their arrows caused almost no casualties to the Tang people.
Murong Sheng's eyes widened even more, looking at this scene in disbelief.
Damn it, Tang Dynasty was so rich!
When the famous king comes, all the equipment you have on you will be ours.
And those tender and supple women of your Tang Dynasty are also ours.
Thinking of this, Murong Sheng's eyes became hot again.
He drew his mace and shouted:
"Let these shield soldiers go, and when they climb the wall, hit them with rocks, and shoot the archers behind first."
.......
outside the city,
Thousands of heavily armed soldiers quickly rushed to the foot of Yuzhong City.
Each of them held their shields high and stepped on thick crossbows, climbing towards the top of the city step by step.
Not far behind them, there were rows of phalanxes of crossbowmen, constantly firing back and forth with the enemy troops on top of the city.
However, when these soldiers climbed halfway, bricks and stones fell from the top of the city like raindrops.
Individual soldiers relied on their physical fitness and the cushioning of their shields to stabilize their bodies.
Most of the soldiers, at the moment when the stone fell, stuck the thick arrows under their armpits, and held up their shields with both hands.
Only a few soldiers who were less lucky were overwhelmed and fell directly to the city.
Not long after, a strong Tang army climbed to the top of the city and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Tyuhun people defending the city.
For a moment, blood and flesh were flying all over the city, shouting to kill Zhentian!
The most cruel, bloody and violent scene in the war appeared.
.....
