Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Seven

It's just that not long after they jumped up, they felt a huge impact coming from behind, and then they felt a tightness in their chests and a sweetness in their throats, and the seven or eight Qihu barbarians who rushed to the city wall were directly shocked into internal injuries by the shock wave from the earth-shattering thunder that fell on the cloud ladder behind them.

And soon two more earth-shattering thunderbolts fell, directly blowing up several cloud ladders in the dense cloud ladder, and the Qihu barbarians on the cloud ladder were either directly blown up into the sky, or screamed and fell into the crowd with the fall of the cloud ladder.

And soon, the Tang army, which came back to its senses, immediately launched a counterattack, directly rushed to the head of the city with those self-sustaining bravery, and now the Qihu barbarians who were shocked by the shock wave and fell to the ground were divided into corpses, and the city wall was defended again.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Tang Army, who were once again inspired, couldn't help but cheer loudly, although it was not a victory, but what kind of defensive battle would drive these damned barbarians off the city wall so easily after the enemy rushed up.

All of this is due to the powerful and incomprehensible power of the earth-shattering thunder, seeing this scene, Dan Song was frightened, and couldn't help but pat his thigh in annoyance, I didn't expect that such a good opportunity would actually let those Tang Army soldiers use that terrifying weapon to wipe it out.

How can such a battle be fought? Whenever it looks like it is about to have a chance to succeed, the secret weapon of the Tang Army will show its huge and incomprehensible power, not only tearing the armor and * of the Khithu warriors, but also directly tearing the courage and fighting spirit of the Khithu warriors.

Mo Li Khan's face was gloomy, and his cold eyes slowly scanned the troops that were besieging the city, every time there was a crisis somewhere in the wall of the Tang Army, the shocking sound of bombing would always sound in time, and then the soldiers of the Tang Army would gain the initiative in the defensive battle.

Judging from the frequency of the secret weapons used by the officers and men of the Tang Army today, it seems that those officers and men of the Tang Army also know very well that at such a time of crisis, it is time to use that precious and rare weapon.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have been attacking for more than an hour, do you want to ......?"

"No, let them hold up for another half an hour, and send another 20,000 horses over, and after half an hour, those 20,000 horses will go up, and I want to see how many of those Han people have such magical weapons that can be used." Mo Li Khan shook his head coldly, but he still ordered his generals to issue new orders.

"These Khithu people seem to be really crazy today......" Li Xuan looked at those Khithu people who were still desperately attacking the city wall, as if they wanted to make a full move today, and Lieutenant General Chen's face was also much darker, according to the offensive of those Khithu people, it really caused great pressure.

"Even if it's crazy?" The smile on Duan Shaojun's face was still very bright and sunny, watching the crazy and hideous Qihu barbarians in front of him fall under those bricks and stones one by one, covering their faces and wailing and screaming.

Now they are, the more crazy they are, the more wounded they will leave behind, and the longer this battle lasts, it will indeed be difficult for the Tang army defending the city, but it will not be able to shake the fundamentals.

Because under the deterrence of those earth-shaking thunders, they have begun to make the offensive of those Qihu barbarians a little restrictive, not to mention, the enemy's biggest killing weapon, that is, those siege machinery, but they are reluctant to use them because of the losses caused by the earth-shaking thunder.

This can only show that they are still pinning their hopes on the low morale of the Tang army, or on the achievements of the other two armies to support the morale of the defenders in Yunzhou City, and even more hope that the weapon with great power of the earth-shaking thunder will be exhausted.

It's a pity that all their expectations and conjectures are just a flash in the pan, and all the expectations of the Qihu barbarians are just a sweet dream, or only when Li Youwen leads tens of thousands of elite Tang Iron Horsemen to appear behind them, these Qihu barbarians will repent.

Whether it is the elite soldiers of Zuo Yu Linwei, or the reinforcements sent by Shuozhou, as well as those state soldiers and county soldiers who have only trained for more than a month, although they only have a few days of combat experience, they are encouraged and guided by those veterans and strive to do what they should do.

I have to say that the paper armor created by Duan Shaojun is indeed a great achievement, if there is no such strong defense, but it is inexpensive, and the most important thing is the appearance of the armor that is easy to make, at least more than 80% of those state soldiers and county soldiers have no armor to wear, in that case, the casualties will not be like now.

Now, after the Qihu barbarians attacked the city for several days, the Yunzhou defenders lost only a few hundred, and although there were more than 3,000 wounded, the injuries were not serious, at least not like those unlucky Qihu barbarians.

The battle lasted until it was almost dusk, and Mo Li Khan's side reluctantly decided to withdraw his troops, and at this moment, more than three hours had passed since the start of the war, and more than six hours had passed, whether it was the Tang garrison at the head of the city, or the Qihu barbarians under the city were tired to death.

The Khihu people used a total of more than 60,000 horses today, but they still failed to achieve any outstanding results, and some, in addition to proving that the Tang army still had enough powerful weapons, added more than 5,000 wounded soldiers to the wounded barracks, including more than 2,000 unlucky ghosts who were burned, and more than 300 blind people.

This made Mo Li Khan so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, and now the problem is that judging from the offensive in the past few days, if he wants to rely on the soldiers and horses in his hands, if he says a crazy attack regardless of losses, it is possible to take the city of Yunzhou, but how many of the 80,000 Qihu Jian'er under his command can be left without injury, it is difficult to say.

And on the grassland, if you want to become the overlord of the grassland, the great khan, you need not only to rely on prestige, but also rely on strength, and the 80,000 athletes under your own command are all Mo Li Khan's own old capital, once the old capital loses too much, then it will inevitably be reduced by the mastery and coercion of the grassland tribes, in that case, it is difficult to ensure that there are no ill-intentioned people who want to stand up and replace them.

Therefore, the crazy siege regardless of losses, just think about it, that is simply unrealistic, but with those fierce siege equipment to capture Yunzhou City, it seems that it has gradually become a beautiful bubble.

The reason is that the kind of weapon that the other party has, as long as the other party still has that kind of weapon that is powerful and can cause great damage to the siege equipment, then after the siege equipment is pushed up, it is no different from taking it to the other party to practice aiming.

Especially a huge guy like a rushing car, he can blow it up with his eyes closed, not to mention that four rushing cars were used today, even if all of them were used, Mo Li Khan knew very well in his heart that the end would not be much better.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" Just as the army was gradually retreating, the commander Kunding saw that Mo Li Khan actually rode his horse forward slowly, and couldn't help but be taken aback, stood up and hurriedly stopped.

"Get out of the way, I want to see that Yunzhou guard with my own eyes, and see what kind of person he is, using such a means to stop my 80,000 Qihu warriors from advancing under this Yunzhou City." Mo Li Khan glanced at the Commander Kunding, waved his hand and shouted.

The generals of Qihu naturally did not dare to stop the angry Moli Khan, but they did not dare to let Moli Khan lean over like this, so a large number of generals and the Golden Horde guards surrounded Moli Khan and moved forward slowly.

"Hey, you see, there are a lot of Qihu barbarians there, yo ho, all cavalry, could it be that these Qihu people are crazy and want to play a cavalry siege?" Looking at everything in the city, Li Xuan, the otaku prince who was in the defense of Yunzhou, in addition to moving his lips and then posing as a mascot, couldn't help but complain.

Not long after Li Xuan said this, he saw this team of about hundreds of horsemen galloping to a stone's throw away and stopped, and then a heavily armored Qihu cavalry slowly rode his horse close to the city wall, and when he approached, he raised his hands high, indicating that he had no weapons, it seemed that this thing was afraid that a certain Tang army soldier on the city wall would not like his eyes and come to an arrow, which would be too hard.

When he was only twenty paces away from the city wall, the man shouted loudly in half-baked Chinese as he walked towards the wall. "Our greatest and most respected Khan of Khu, Moli Khan, who has a heart as vast as the steppe, asked me to come and ask you Han people, who are your guards, our great Khan wants to see and see, who stopped our heroic Khihu warriors under this Yunzhou city."
