In the offensive and defensive battle of Dazhou, the Byzantines went forward one after another, and there were casualties every second, although they had many generals, but the Tang army's defense system was perfect, and the Tang army on the outer wall was responsible for smashing things, pouring oil and pouring dung (that is, boiling dung water), and the Tang army on the inner wall was ready to attack with strong crossbows, and then there were Shi Wanchao's melee troops ready to attack at any time.

The things that were thrown down from the city were very dense, killing and injuring the Byzantines in large numbers.

The officers in command were all experienced, and they were taught by the master of defense, Xiao Bonan, who knew how to hit the enemy's dense places.

When the enemy finally broke through the many obstacles and climbed to the top of the city, he was warmly welcomed by a sniper crossbow!

The sniper crossbow was fierce and accurate, the reaction speed was fast, and the experienced Tang people were cross-fired, that is, attacking from the outside and back of the opponent's frontal defense, which made the Byzantines so unguarded that they hated it.

Even if they gathered a part of their men to break through a section of the city wall, they encountered the fierce and vicious Shi Wanchao and led the army to kill!

Shi Wanchao is wearing heavy armor and wielding maces, and he will not block the enemy's attack!

One knife for one stick, the enemy's knife is cut on the heavy armor, and it can't be cut at all!

And he came down with a stick, and the enemy's shield shattered like a butterfly!

With a dull sound, it smashed on the enemy, and their bodies dented into a pool of blood, and they fell down with a grunt.

Shi Wanchao is like a tireless firefighter, where he is tight, he will go wherever he is tight, let go and kill, no one can stop him! Led by him, the Tang army fought bravely, and the Byzantines could not gain a foothold on the city wall, even if they relied on the strength of the outnumber, consumed the arms on the outer wall, and climbed the outer wall, they would be killed under the attack of arrows and melee assault troops, and some of the lonely Byzantines were even forced to jump from the city!

The wounded Byzantines in the city, Xiao Bonan ordered them to be thrown alive from the city!

Some people were lucky not to die, and some were injured in the siege, Xiao Bonan did not let the Tang army shoot arrows under the city, he asked the enemy to not replenish the arrows if they were wounded and wounded, and let them howl there!

The screams shook the confidence of the attack, and the walls of Dazhou were like the huge mouth of a fierce beast, constantly devouring the lives of the Byzantines.

Xiao Bonan commanded properly, and the military industry continued to come up, sending the accumulated materials to the city wall in time, even when the fighting was fierce, the military industry never stopped.

They installed small cranes on the inside of the city walls, which were pulled from below, and the manpower and animal power were used to lift the supplies up the walls, and the supplies were so large that the Byzantines had nothing to say... He's dead!

……

Bands after groups of men and horses went up straight and came back sideways, and the casualties were so heavy that the Byzantines continued to recruit people from all over the country to join the army.

After seven days of fighting, 50,000 people died!

The Byzantine army, on the other hand, increased to 250,000 men, which was the reason why they desperately requisitioned regular troops and miscellaneous troops from all over the country.

They stormed the walls like a tidal wave, but they were as resilient as a rock.

"Quick, dig!"

In the tents, the Byzantines were busy digging tunnels, digging the earth out of the mud, and the tunnels stretched into the city.

Trying to use the tunnel to cross the city wall and drill into the city, the Tang army had already prepared and buried water tanks in the ground at intervals on the inside of the city wall, wrapped in cowhides, and sent special personnel to listen to them.

After hearing the sound, the Tang people dug a tunnel in the area where the enemy expected the enemy to enter, and when the Byzantines drilled into the ground, they saw the mocking eyes of the Tang people, and the fire oil was drenched wildly, burning them alive!

"Ahh Yes! Yes! "The screams continued, and the Byzantines screamed.

In some places, the Tang people used "water dragon" pump trucks to the caves, sprayed fire oil into the holes, and then ignited them, and all the people inside were burned to death.

Or throw a chemical bomb and poison them!

Those Byzantines, who were "lucky" enough to taste chemical bombs, would rather die on the walls than drill tunnels!

Seeing that the Tang people were so tenacious and alert, some of the Byzantines flinched, and they tried to admonish the emperor: "Your Majesty, we may be able to besiege the city for a long time......"

Yet the Emperor shook his head!

He must consolidate his throne with a victory, and the war chief will drag it out to his detriment.

Take a step forward to consolidate the throne, take a step back into the abyss, and die for your own throne!

As long as you capture the city and defeat the Tang people, you will not hesitate to kill as many people as you want!

He ordered the mobilization of men and horses from all over the country, rushed to the front line, and dismissed anyone who dared to disobey the order!

……

In this way, the Byzantines gathered, and although the enemies outside the city were like a sea, the morale of the Tang army was high.

They killed and wounded a lot of the enemy, but their own losses were small... Less than five thousand!

Only 3,000 people died, and the remaining 2,000 people could be saved.

Such an exchange ratio, is it not a victory or what?

……

Xiao Bonan inspected the army, he was full of enthusiasm, and shouted: "Wow, fight for the prince, our army will win!" ”

"Fight for the prince, our army will win!" The Tang people shouted, resounding through the sky.

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers go westward, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost! ......" someone led the singing of "Loyal to the Country", the song was vigorous and majestic, echoing in the city wall, the soldiers were full of blood, singing in unison, standing majestically on the city wall.

The Byzantines looked up to it and were moved.

You must know that they have lost many troops, put huge pressure on the other side, and the other side is not discouraged in the slightest, and this battle is difficult to fight!

Emperor Tiberius III's face turned pale, and he roared: "Charge me, and raze them!" ”

"Pass the order, tomorrow's siege battle, no retreat is allowed, and those who retreat will be killed!"

……

The Emperor's thunderous fury turned into countless flaming bullets, stone bullets, and a frantic charge of the Byzantine army!

Under the attack regardless of sacrifice, the corpses of the Byzantines were piled up one man high under the city!

Rivers of blood flowed, and small red streams could be seen everywhere.

At a heavy price, the Byzantines had an effect, the Tang army could no longer be well organized, and the outer cities in many places were lost, and then under the cover of bows and arrows, Shi Wanchao led the army to counterattack and recapture the city walls.

For a time, the situation on the head of the city changed, and after several changes of hands, both sides paid great casualties.

Shi Wanchao's armor has been changed for six sets, and both maces have been discounted!

Tang Tingzhi let go of the arrow, and he couldn't lift his hand when he shot it... It is a rare thing for him to have a unicorn arm.

……

As time passed, the Byzantine offensive began early in the morning, without a break at noon, and the troops took turns to attack, and the new forces continued to attack, and when the sun was almost half past four in the afternoon, they thought the time was ripe.

Tens of thousands of forbidden troops rushed out of the gate and rushed towards the precarious southern city!

This is the most elite troops around the emperor, recuperate and recharge, the emperor let them attack, and the wing plan was taken by surprise and broke the city in one fell swoop!

When they were about to reach the city wall, a muffled sound sounded from the city, and a large number of "packages" flew out

The Byzantines were puzzled and stupidly looked up at the "packages", well, they were still smoking.

"Boom!"

The package exploded violently, with a deafening sound, shaking the whole heaven and earth!
