Chapter 871 Bloody Battle Datong

(Thanks to me for only love China, Mr. Wuming’s capable people, Fatlang’s support, please give me a monthly vote at the end of the month, and beg me!)

Yelu Abaoji held a shield higher than his human body, his eyes were swollen and red, and he shouted in his mouth with meaningless chapters. He stepped over the bodies of his tribesmen lying under the city, and rushed to the corner of the city for the third time.

At this time, above the south of Yunzhou City, it seemed like a violent rain of arrows was falling, rolling a deadly metal storm. The densely shot feather arrows almost made the sun in the sky lose its light. At the foot of the city wall, there were unextinguished war fires burning everywhere, and the boiling water poured by the Qin army was still steaming on the ground.

There were corpses of tribal warriors wearing various leather armors everywhere, cloud cars smashed by stones, broken wood blocks of building cars, blood stains everywhere, broken limbs and broken arms.

Screams, roars, war drums, and ox horns intertwined and gathered.

The wooden wheel of the ladder truck pressed over the wooden trestle on the moat ditch, the sound of the bow string vibrating, the sound of the feather arrows breaking through the air, the sound of the rock thrower firing, the sound of the stone bomb hitting the city wall, the rumbling of the battlements... All these sounds were intertwined, and combined with the smoke, war, blood and broken bodies everywhere to form a scene of purgatory on earth.

Yelu Abaoji completely lost the ability to think at this time, but he instinctively followed more than 3,000 brothers from the Tama tribe, clustered the cloud ladders and launched charges again and again towards Yunzhou City. Behind the first cloud ladder, hundreds of tribal warriors were followed.

And behind them, outside the range of the Qin army, or outside the ordinary attack range of the Qin army's super-long-range super-heavy equipment, the Hu people's 200 cable-type catapults were divided into three teams. They kept shooting stones and mud at Yunzhou City, suppressing the Qin army on the city.

Although this kind of temporary rush-made catapult is a world of difference compared with the Qin army's counterweight catapult on the city. Five to eight kilograms of stone bullets hit the solid and high walls of Yunzhou City, and they can only leave a mark and turn into powder. They are difficult to cause too much damage to important fortifications. However, if they can successfully hit the defenders on the city, no matter how exquisite and solid the Qin army's new full-body plate armor or half-body breastplate is, how good it is to be for arrow defense, they will definitely die. Moreover, the biggest targets of these catapults are the arrow towers, corner towers at the city, the heavy crossbows of the Qin army, and the counterweight super-weight thunder throwing cars within the city walls.

Yelu Shilu had a tense face and pulled his horse a thousand steps away from the city wall to look at the battle.

At the beginning, Yelu Shilu's central army commander's flag was actually pushed to 200 steps away from the city, which was a traditional safe distance. The head coach's personal visit to the front line did have a great encouragement to morale. But they underestimated the Qin army, and the Qin army could never infer based on conventional traditions.

When Yelu Shilu stood in a tall cloud car with golden armor and personally directed the attack on the city, the Qin army on the city directly transferred a crossbow to block the attack. This kind of blocking and furious attack, which was specially used to block the enemy officers, was a range of hundreds of steps, and was made of an iron crossbow spear as thick as a child's arm, with an accuracy of within three feet.

A crossbow blocking attack was a must-have attack. However, at the critical moment, Yelu Shilu's personal guards tried their best to save his life. A group of Khitan guards rushed directly to him and stacked a mountain of meat on him. Ten crossbows blocked him. The cloud cart was blown up, and the group of guards were killed. Although Yelu Shilu escaped, he broke one arm, and a spear was rubbed across his leg, making a deep blood groove.

Then, Yelu Shilu retreated to seven hundred steps away to command.

This time, the Qin army directly transferred the eight dragon martial artillery fire general artillery in the city and loaded them with 300 kilograms of giant shells. This was a giant explosive pack composed of super-large thunder and Greek fire, etc., and then called the best artillery, and after aiming, they directly attacked Yelu Shilu again.

The range of the super counterweight throwing car with a 20,000 kilogram counterweight hammer and a five-meter-long boom is extremely terrifying. It can throw a 300 kilogram stone bomb a hundred feet away.

This time, the killing almost successfully brought Yelu Shilu and other Khitan generals to a pot. Eight 300-pound heavy cannons roared within ten feet of the Yelu Shilu's flag and directly exploded into a huge pit. More than a dozen tribal officers and hundreds of guards directly turned into blood, and the flag was no longer there. Yelu Shilu was not under the Shilu's flag due to leg injuries at that time. He asked a similar-shaped personal soldier to pretend to him in his armor, but he escaped another disaster.

However, the Central Army Commander was directly bombed away, which still caused great fear among the Hu people who were sieging the city. The defenders in Yunzhou City opened the city gate at the right time and released a thousand cavalry who had been waiting. Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, they rushed violently under the city, repelled the Hu people who were sieging the city, and set fire to burn a large number of cloud ladders and other siege equipment.

Yelu Shilu took a lot of effort to stabilize the scene. Unfortunately, the Qin army in Yunzhou City had too few soldiers, otherwise this time it would be very likely that the Hu people would be defeated in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, Yelu Shilu was already very careful. Not only did he move the new commander's flag to two miles from the battlefield, but most of the time he sent a substitute to replace him. He himself hid five miles from the city wall and guarded him, fearing that the Qin army would have something more scary.

However, today, Yelu Shilu came to the front line again and moved a thousand steps in front of the formation with the coaching flag.

Jincheng was defeated and his brother Yelu Sassar was deeply worried, and he had already begun to worry. Perhaps this time, it was not as easy as he imagined. The reinforcements of the Qin army came too quickly, and the Qin army in Daibei were too resistant. Just like Li Siyuan, he has not yet obtained his head.

He was even a little worried that the 30,000 tribal soldiers who were sent to pursue Li Siyuan's defeated soldiers seemed to have not been in contact for more than a day. Could something happen to them?

Shaking his head, he swayed the worrying thoughts in his mind and looked at the battlefield again.

In any case, the Qin army's reinforcements had already reached Jincheng, and the Qin army's reaction speed was far beyond his expectations. The Qin army's reinforcements might arrive here at any time. There was not much time left for him, so he had to quickly take Yunzhou. Then he went south to Shuozhou, Jincheng again, at least, he had to join the Shatuo soldiers in Yanmen. Two hundred thousand people went south, and the supply of food and grass was a big problem. The land of Daibei was too poor and he could not get anything at all. In this regard, Shi Yan promised him that the spring supply in Yanmen Town was in spring.

His eyes saw his nephew Yelu Abaoji under the city. His eyes were full of praise. Although he was only ten years old, his nephew was as strong as an ordinary adult. He could not only pick up a strong bow of more than one stone, but even rode a horse and shot arrows, and fought at once. They were all very outstanding. One person was against more than three tribal warriors. It was really a brave young man of their Yelu family. Unfortunately, his father died so early. Sala's death was a huge loss for their branch. Especially now, Pu Gu, who was both Yilijin and Yilijin of the Khitan Dadilie Prefecture, was seriously ill. Seeing that once Bi Gu died, Yelu Shilu would transition from the current Yu Offside. When he truly succeeded Pu Gu as the new Dialijin of the main division and Yilijin of the entire Khitan Dadilie Prefecture, the death of his brother Tama Shishali was a complete loss.

Fortunately, my brother has a successor, and he has such an outstanding son, who is ten years old. However, he has become a warrior respected by Khitan soldiers and will definitely be even more heroic in the future. Yelu Shilu has officially appointed Khitan Yu Yue, an official position that temporarily replaced the Khitan military and national affairs. He was appointed Yelu Abaoji as the Tamashshali who took his father to death, and officially became the guard officer of the newly established guards of the Diela tribe.

At the age of ten, he became the commander of the guards' personal army formed by the elite warriors of the Diela tribe, which was unprecedented. However, no one objected. Yelu Abaoji's bravery showed that he won this position. Most of the original guards' personal army died in Jincheng this time. Yelu Shilu selected a group of warriors from his Khitan troops and from other tribes, and finally formed a new 3,000 cavalry of the Tama tribe. This nephew was outstanding. Shinichi took over the Tama Shishali and immediately asked to attack the city. He used elite warriors to attack the city, which seemed to be a bit like killing chickens and using a ox knife, but in the end, Yelu Shilu agreed.

Although he had 100,000 people gathered at Yunzhou City, he was helpless in the face of the 10,000 Qin troops defending in the city.

The Qin army had only 10,000, but they recruited a large number of people from the city to help defend the city. Not only that, the Qin army emerged one after another, all kinds of powerful cities, and the city defense equipment made them feel very troubled. The strong steel helmets, plate armor, strong bows and crossbows, and the Fuyuan double crossbows that could play a huge role in defending the city, the Fuyuan heavy crossbows, the three-bow eight-ox crossbows, the crane crossbows, and all kinds of big and small stone-cattering tools, as well as the flying thunder chariots that made the tribe soldiers frightened, the thunder throwing chariots and the dozens of soldiers, Dragon Martial Thunder Fire General Cannons that would inevitably kill dozens of soldiers, Dragon Martial Thunder Fire General Cannons, as well as those poison gas bombs, smoke bombs, landmines, explosives, divine fire, flying fire, ghost fire...

These strange weapons that made most tribal warriors unable to even name them all made them suffer when siegeing the city.

The powerful and brave tribal warriors were excellent in riding and shooting, fierce and fierce, but facing the high city walls, fierce firearms, and dense rain of arrows, they could not even touch the corners of the enemy's clothes, and they were already lying under the city.

These days, Yelu Shilu was constantly letting tribal soldiers dismount, swung their killing battle axes to cut down trees, and then asked some border residents who had captured Yunzhou to build siege equipment. Unfortunately, although there were some craftsmen among the border residents, they could at most build rough cloud ladders, chariots, cloud chariots, arrow towers, siege rams and small stone casters.

It is impossible to create a crossbow chariot, crossbow cannon, and shoot a cannon like the Qin army that is far away, with a high head and a fierce attack.

For example, the Qin army's Dragon Martial Thunderbolt Fire General Cannon has only eight in the city, and every time it is launched, it requires hundreds of human and animal power to pull it. It also has to use leverage. Basically, only three or four shots can be thrown in an hour. However, these super thrust tools can directly clear the range of several meters with each bombardment. The real human blocks and kills people, and the gods block the gods.

A range of 600 steps and a bomb drop of 300 kilograms is a real killer weapon.

Whenever the tribal warriors gained some advantage in their lives and were about to rush to the top of the city, these damn super cannons would suddenly be launched, and then eight giant shells weighing 300 pounds would roar out from behind the city wall and land within 600 steps outside the city, clearing the follow-up warriors, winning critical time for the defenders on the city, leaving the warriors who were sieging the city without help, and finally being driven out of the city by the Qin army.

Damn, it would be great if they had such a catapult, even if there were one or two such giant cannons on the battlefield, any fortifications in Yunzhou City would be smashed to pieces as long as they were hit. Unfortunately, this catapult weighed 20,000 kilograms with one counterweight hammer, and a boom was five feet long. Moreover, the tall body was almost made of stainless steel structure and giant wood. Not only was it extremely difficult to transport, but the key was that the manufacturing technology was extremely high, and even the cooperation of an extremely excellent firing team was required to throw the cannon into the approximate range.

Unfortunately, he had nothing, so he could only watch the sky roaring loudly and whistling sounds coming from two or three quarters of an hour later. Then he lay down honestly, enduring a collapse of the sky, the earth was shaking, and the roar of his ears, and his eyes were dizzy.

Damn, I don’t know how the Qin people transported these eight giant cannons, and how did these huge guys weighing tens of thousands of pounds, transport them to Yunzhou in such a short time? He couldn’t figure it out, really couldn’t figure it out.

Fortunately, there were only eight giant cannons like the Qin army, and these giant cannons consumed too much gunpowder. A cluster bombing was more than 2,000 kilograms of gunpowder. Therefore, the Qin army would not be dispatched until the critical moment. Otherwise, he would have probably been shattered by the Qin army.

The Qin people guarding the city was so fucking powerful. Yelu Shilu couldn't help but sigh again.

Ten thousand people attacked the city guarded by 10,000 people. After attacking for so many days, the city was still as solid as a god. If he had not been the commander of this battle, he would have thought that the general who commanded the army was an incompetent person. But now, he could only sigh over and over again. Damn, the Qin people are really good at defending the city.

Damn, there is a kind of battle where you come out to face to face. Yelu Shilu was angry and couldn't help but roaring at the top of the city.

As the center of Daibei, Yunzhou City has been stationed here several times after wars, and several major tribes have successively built up the city. The fortifications of the entire Yunzhou City are very strict, with sheep and horse walls outside the moat, which prevents the enemy from directly attacking the outer city. Even outside the gates of the outer city, several small but very dangerous urns were built.

A deep and wide ditch was dug around the outer city wall. Not only were there a large number of pickets buried, but it was even filled with water. This was a huge trouble for the Hu people who lacked siege equipment.

Moreover, there are thirteen city gates in the entire Yunzhou City, which is so many that it is hard to imagine that the East and West Capitals of the Central Plains are just twelve city gates. Damn, there are actually thirteen gates in a city on the frontier. There are many city gates, and it seems that the defenders are scattered to guard the troops, but in fact, the city gate is extremely critical in defending the city battle. Otherwise, why don’t you just block the city gate with stones when defending the city? This is because with a city gate, you can defend and counterattack, and the enemy cannot let the siege the city gates rest assured. There are many city gates. Although the difficulty of guarding it increases, it also allows the siege to score troops to defend, because there are thirteen city gates in Yunzhou, which also means that the defenders in Yunzhou City can rush out from any city gate at any time to kill.
