Chapter 449: Counterattack Moment
The messenger brought the message to him. The Turkic commander knew that the situation in the city did not seem to be as optimistic as they imagined. However, not only was it not optimistic, basically no one would respond.
"Send the order to retreat!"
Yelu Baotai looked at the soldiers who were sieging the city and gave orders to the people around him.
"Didn't it be a long time..."
Yelu Baotai interrupted the generals around him and explained: "The people trapped in the city are not ours, and there is no movement yet. Should we watch our soldiers go to defend the Turks and send them to retreat?"
The Turks did not know that the Northern Barbarians would not fulfill their promises. They had issued an order to attack with all their might, and even several commanders of thousands of men took the battle in person.
They had made up their minds to conquer Youzhou City in one go, and they had high hopes for the courage of the Turkic soldiers in the city.
"Our notice is trapped in Youzhou City. Now we have to do our best to rescue our brothers. The Turkic warriors have no cowards to fight with me!"
The commander of the thousand-man took the lead and launched the most fierce attack.
The people on the Youzhou city wall were already suppressed by the archers under the city, and suddenly there were many more people. Many people squatted under the battlements of the city wall, and the sound of arrows flying by in their ears.
"Brothers, hold on." Luo Yi encouraged on the city wall.
The Li brothers each hid behind the battlements of the city wall with their men, and checked the situation under the city through the observation hole. All the black people were
"General Luo, they are setting up escalators." Li Shimin reminded.
Luo Yi is very experienced and has the idea of Li De. They have discussed the most common escalator for siege, which is the most common utensil for siege. After mechanics forms a certain angle, it is impossible to push the escalator away.
Unless the angle is particularly small, the distance between the enemy's escalator with a ditch can only be extended, so that the angle between the ground and the escalator can be smaller, no one can push it.
"Prepare the tinea oil!"
Therefore, since you can't push this kind of ladder with force, you can only fight against it based on the principle of material restraint. Bamboo and wood are afraid of fire, and falling down the ladder can solve the escalator.
While Luo Yi was talking, two or three escalators outside the city wall were already burning with the tinder oil. From time to time, people screamed, and it was difficult to extinguish the tinder oil.
Li Shimin looked at everything that happened in front of him. It seemed simple to defend the city and was actually the closest to death. Once the enemy attacked the city wall, he had to fight with his life.
He was wondering if the result would be different without the city wall, and he also thought that the Turks seemed to have the initiative to fight without the city wall.
Sometimes Li Shimin would accidentally discover something worth thinking about. They seemed as solid as a rock on the city wall, but they were also as dangerous as a rock.
No matter what, he doesn't plan to let these enemies go.
"We are going to prepare for the battle."
The turtle oil is used to deal with escalators, but the amount of turtle oil is limited after all, so there are still more escalators for the enemy to attack the city wall. At this time, they are ready to fight.
There is no way to give in to the death.
Li Shimin directly pulled out the weapon in his hand, and he had already been ready to win the future.
Look at Li Jiancheng's calmness. When it comes to combat experience, both Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have some advantages and are more calm in their attitude towards the enemy.
Li Shimin would pay attention to Li Jiancheng's reaction from time to time. Both of them were like this, both subconsciously.
"Preserve the city wall, the city is there, the soldiers follow me to kill!"
Luo Yi roared, and all the soldiers on the city wall followed the order and began to fight back. They were suppressed by the enemy archers before, but now the Turks attacked the city wall, and the pressure on the archers was much smaller.
Thousands of people on the city wall began to resist the attack.
The Turkic commanders felt that the attack had been effective, and they led their troops to charge while supervising the attack.
They seemed to have seen success, and the Turkic soldiers on the city wall submerged the city wall like locusts.
Yelu Baotai has been watching all the time. Their people are ready to retreat. Now is the time when they are not working hard. Seeing the situation of the war reversed, he has to hesitate whether to help them.
At that time, there should be many benefits to this, and their purpose will be successfully completed.
"Come, I'll send the orders to let the soldiers show our courage and attack the city with all their might."
Yelu Baotai issued an order, and the changes made the generals around him react. Mobilizing troops is not a trivial matter, just as it would take time if they wanted to withdraw from the battle now.
The Turks now ignored the situation of the Northern Barbarian tribe. They had been swallowed by desire. No matter how much they paid, they had to take down Youzhou City.
The main city gate was blocked. The Turks' plan was to use the main troops to restrain the defenders of the city defense, and then send other troops to other city gates.
The idea is very good. Even if the main city gate has not been captured, there is another hope, but this hope is purely what they imagined.
When they were about to be proud, the vanguard soldiers in Youzhou City were already waiting for an opportunity to go.
"Governor, the guards in Youzhou City have already taken over the main force of the enemy." The scout came to report.
"It's time. All the commanders obey the orders and lead the soldiers and horses of Fengling Volcano to fight back with all their strength."
The vanguard troops were dispatched and set out around to launch fierce attacks on the enemy.
The Turkic people who were sieging the city suddenly saw many people appear. The matter was a little sudden, which made many people not react in time.
"Shouldn't they be defending the city? How could they appear outside the city?"
The questions of the Turks were also the questions of the Northern Barbarian tribes.
"I fell into a trap!" Yelu Baotai immediately realized that the defensive weaknesses on the city wall were all pretending, with the purpose of distracting them and catching them off guard.
"Retreat!" Yelu Bao thought he had figured it out, so he quit. The news of the attack had just started was not immediately sent out.
The soldiers of the Northern Barbarians were still planning to retreat at any time.
"kill!"
War between the two sides is about to break out.
The main guard regiment of the vanguard soldiers charged forward with the five thousand guards of the Luo family. Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin's flying cavalry and leopard cavalry, and the wolf guards were all on the flank guards to restrain the enemy cavalry who wanted to escape.
There are only the sounds of gold and iron clashing and shouting outside the entire Youzhou City.
Originally, the Turks were not afraid. At present, the troops on both sides had the power to fight, but the result was unexpected. Although the people from the Northern Barbarian tribe did not leave immediately, they were already on the way to charge.
Several commanders of the Turkic tribes were very angry and scolded for believing in the wrong person.
Their yelling and scolding are not only able to vent their dissatisfaction, but they are really not helpful to the battle situation. Instead, this emotion will make them make some wrong judgments.
For example, they had to make the Turkic soldiers give up siege and fight back with all their might.
