Chapter 767 Wild Boar Skin
Looking at the so-called siege equipment that I created after a day of trouble, I suddenly felt a little tooth-ache. These messy things were a little too wet even when burning firewood.
But looking at the soldiers of various tribes who were very excited, it was not easy to pour cold water on Duli.
"Khan, we are ready to order the attack!"
A tribal leader who was as thick as a bear shouted, "This is a warrior from the Shiwei tribe. They lived in the extreme northeast, half nomadic and half fishing and hunting. Because the north was extremely cold, they all wore quite thick. The leader wore a cow horn helmet, wore wild boar leather armor, and had a large string of tiger teeth hanging around his neck. He grabbed a big axe in his hand, which looked quite scary.
The ladder that can be used as a siege ram was created by their tribe warriors.
Looking at everyone's eagerness to try.
After a while, hesitated and planned to try it. It would be good to let these idiots try Li Jing’s city defense.
"Okay, blow the horn."
With the drums, Tuli sent several tribal warriors to siege Mayi from all sides. The Turkic cavalry began to rush to the city, attacking the defenders at the top of the city with cavalry and shooting, providing cover for the soldiers of the Wei tribe.
The leader of Shi Wei held his big axe in one hand and a giant shield made of half a half dead wood in the other hand. He yelled in front of his warrior formation, and then rushed towards the top of the city.
A group of waiwi wild boar skin warriors also followed behind, carrying a ladder and holding a shield to the front. These warriors were all extremely tall, most of them had long strips behind their heads. Unlike the Turkic rope heads, they had a large braid.
Tuli looked at these northern barbarians with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
A group of brainless barbarians, do they really have no idea about the defensive ability of the Mayi city?
Well, let them go to the city and get bloody, so that these guys are too arrogant and do not know the world is strong. By the way, he also wants to see how powerful the city defense of Mayi City is.
The horns were whimpering, and the cowhide drums were pounding like mountains.
The barbarians rushed very quickly.
The Turkic cavalry who gave them bows and arrows were even unable to keep up.
Tuli was under the wolf head and stared at the city wall.
There was no movement in the city, as if he was scared by the brave aura under the city. However, it was too quiet, so quiet that Tu Li understood that the Tang army seemed to be prepared.
It's getting closer.
The warriors of the Shiwei tribe who had already approached the moat under the city, and the charge of the warriors of Shiwei tribe wearing cow horns, helmets, pigskin armor and big braids couldn't help but stop.
The scattered military lines that were originally divided were denser and gathered in front of the trench.
The leader of the Niujiao Helmet waved his axe and directed his subordinates to put the ladder onto the trench, preparing to pave a few roads.
At this moment, a sharp sound suddenly broke out on the top of the city.
Tuli's heart tightened and he immediately realized that the Tang army was about to fight back.
The next moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless screams gathered, forming a harsh sound.
"Arrow rain!"
The Tang army's arrow rain did not shoot arrows early. They were waiting for the opportunity when the Turkic army focused on the front of the trench. At this time, the Turkic soldiers focused on the front of the trench were densely filled with Turkic soldiers, forming an excellent target of arrows.
Countless eight-ox crossbows, stone-catted cannons and single-bow crossbows, step bows and some Fuyuan crossbows, fire together.
Although there are only 10,000 defenders in Mayi City, they are divided into several batches of round guards, and they have to be divided into different aspects.
Even so, when Tang Jun's full-strength attack was still earth-shaking.
On the top of the city several feet high, there was no obstacle and shot with all your strength and condescending.
The leader of the Niuke Helmet looked up and his face changed drastically. He fought against other tribes in the northern jungle grasslands, which was very tragic, but he had never seen such a scene before.
I didn't even see a single enemy's hair, and then there was such a scattered rain of arrows.
In the rain of arrows, there seemed to be many huge iron crossbow guns as thick as eggs, mixed with stone bullets larger than fists.
"Raising the shield!"
"Shield array!"
The leader of the Niujiao Helmet shouted, and the soldiers of Shiwei quickly threw down the ladder in their hands very obediently, and at the same time loudly passed down the leader's orders, constantly shouting to raise shields and form formations.
The wild boar skin warriors leaned into the middle one after another, and raised the shield in their hands, trying to form a shield array to resist the rain of arrows all over the sky.
Arrows fall like rain.
In an instant, thousands of arrows fell from the sky.
Although the leader of the Cow Horn Helmet has asked the wild boar skin warriors to raise their shields to form a formation as much as possible, the shield formation is not without gaps. Under the dense rain of arrows, any small gap will become a hole of death.
Arrows shot through any gap.
The larger crossbow gun was not afraid of the shield formation at all. When one flew, the shield broke and the person died, and even a crossbow pierced through several bodies.
What's even more terrifying is the stone bullets flying from the top of the city wall. The small ones have big fists and big ones as big as a head. A stone falls from the sky, and the shield cannot be defended at all.
Especially the stone bullet with a big head fell down with a roar, and even directly smashed a blood pit in the shield formation. Sometimes it fell down and killed a few people. The stone bullet would bounce again, fall down and kill people again. Even when it rolled in the end, it was still very powerful. It would hurt wherever it touched, break the feet and feet, and injured the legs.
Have you ever seen such a horned helmet and wild boar skin?
Their past war experience was at most a battle where they rode horses and fought each other, or carried swords and axes to fight desperately. They had never fought this battle where they could not even see the enemy, but they had already killed them in a river of blood.
Niu Ke Helmet was extremely angry and had a hideous face.
The eyes are almost bleeding.
The rain of arrows in the sky finally sparse.
Niujiao Helmet took off the big shield that was already full of arrows in his hand, and shouted, "Run!"
The wild boar skin soldiers were extremely angry, roaring and shouting, laying the ladders even harder, rushing through the trench on the ladders, and continuing to rush towards the city.
It seemed like the city was just a person who had just shot an archer. They rushed over and could kill him.
The second round of arrow rain is coming again.
A large number of tribal warriors fell down again.
There was a tragic sound.
But the ox horn helmets and wild boar skins were very determined and were still rushing forward.
Finally, the leader of the ox-horned helmet rushed to the city.
Then, he found that he was helpless against the hard wall.
Under the city wall, he was so anxious that he turned around, slashing at the city wall with anger with anger, but it was useless.
More and more soldiers rushed over and rushed under the city wall. Under the city wall, there were fewer arrows on their heads. The defenders on the city seemed to be staring at the soldiers in the distance and were not very careful about the people they rushed to the city.
But even so, the cow horn helmets and wild boar skins still had no choice.
I rushed too fast just now, and many ladders were behind.
Finally, a ladder was brought over.
"Quick, set up the ladder!"
Niujiao Helmet helped his wild boar skin to finally raise the first ladder, then Niujiao Helmet inserted the axe behind, holding a shield in one hand, climbing the ladder in the other, and climbing the first ladder.
From time to time, arrows shot down, and the Niuke Helmet rolled left and right, and he was still hit by an arrow on his shoulder. He finally touched the battlement.
He finally saw his enemy.
A slightly tender face was facing him with a crossbow.
The crossbow was so close that when the Niuke Helmet wanted to raise the shield to block it, the man had already deducted the crossbow.
Like a little cold light.
The crossbow arrow had already flew over his shield, and the ox-horned helmet screamed, and the crossbow arrow was nailed into one of his eyes.
Chapter completed!
