Section 889 Kill the commander
In the distance outside the city, Yang Chengxian's encirclement and reinforcements were in the ascendant, and he opened an ambush battle array like a giant mouth, swallowing as many people as the big cannibals came, and from time to time he was full and satisfied.

After one battle after another, many Tang Qi's arms have become unicorn arms!
The arms shoot many arrows, which are unusually developed and full of explosive power.
Together with the lap legs of the cavalry, the characteristics of the cavalry outside the pass were formed.
The cavalry in any place has more or less Luo ring legs, but the unicorn arm is the most prominent only for the Tang army.
They don't know how many arrows they have shot, how many they have shot to have a pair of unicorn arms, which is daunting.
Practice is not able to practice the unicorn arm, only when facing the enemy, stimulate their own potential, shoot quickly, keep shooting, let the arm under the stimulation of hormones, form a domineering unicorn arm, they may not be very accurate, but they can open a bow of more than two stones, can easily pierce the iron armor, nail into the rock!
Ordinary archers are tired after shooting twenty arrows in a row, and unicorn arm archers can be doubled!
That's a terrible archery skill!
Even nomads are not prone to unicorn arms, in addition to the need for battlefield conditions, another condition is adequate nutrition.
In fact, the nomads did not have a good time (otherwise they did not need to come to rob the things of the southern Han people), their cattle, sheep and horses encountered a plague, or the white hair wind blowing, often suffered heavy casualties, and the nomads who were forced to graze had to impact the towering city walls of the southern Han people and the continuous Great Wall.
In such an environment, you can imagine how good the nutrition of nomads can be.
They will produce some talented condor archers, but it is simply impossible for the archers with unicorn arms to emerge in a large area!
Yang Chengxian looked at his arm, and then at the new bow in his hand, and sighed with emotion!
He's finally got his hands on the two-stone hard bow too!
Before joining the army, the direction he chose was horse warfare, and at that time he could only shoot a stone bow!
And his third brother easily opened a two-stone bow, and with a two-stone bow, commanding the cavalry can be justified.
He galloped on his horse, fired three arrows in a row, and shot down three great food soldiers a hundred paces away!
It's easier to borrow fire!
……
Compared to Yang Chengxian's joy was Cheng Boxi's anger, he watched with his own eyes how his troops went to their deaths, one after another rushed to the city of Labadi, and then suffered heavy losses under the blows of their bows and arrows, stones and oil!
The Tang army's offensive continued, and it was like a tidal wave constantly slapping on the walls of Dashi.
And the city of great food is like a reef on the shore, which shatters the tide.
The big cannibal is condescending and has an advantage, and Yusuf's personal charisma is very good, and his soldiers will resist to the death, and they also make a lot of use of fire oil to kill and injure the Tang army!
The ants are attached to the siege, which is really a tragedy for the besieging party, and the casualties are very large!
Those soldiers who were burned by the oil were especially miserable, although many of them were "new attached troops" and were big cannibals before, in fact, the top of the Tang Army had bad intentions and wanted to use big cannibals to fight big cannibals, but how could they be their own soldiers, they were burned to the ground, and their bodies were completely skinless, and they screamed loudly there, and everyone had a strong sense of common hatred.
If it weren't for the fact that the Tang army had more means than the previous siege party, the hammer ---- anvil repeatedly hit the big cannibals, used more bows and arrows to cover, the catapults were extremely fierce, and the grenadiers also worked hard to attack, resulting in greater casualties among the big cannibals than the previous defense, and out of the Tang army, otherwise the Tang army would not be in a good mood, and many people would have to drink herbal tea ----- reduce the fire.
Under the constant attack, the defense line of the Great Cannibals wavered from time to time, and the Tang army often attacked the first layer of the city wall (the city defense had two layers of walls), and then lost the decisive struggle of the Great Cannibal counter-charge.
Due to the considerable losses, the Tang army changed from attacking the four walls at the same time to attacking the east and west walls together, but no matter how they attacked, they still could not break the city.
Hajaj ibn Yusuf, the commander of the defenders of the city of Labadi, frequently appeared on the walls to inspect the city's defenses and organize counterattacks to boost morale.
He was cautious, and generally lived in the inner city walls, and rarely in the outer city walls, where the enemy was on the front line.
He did not know that under each wall of the Tang Army, there was a staff group of the Tang Army active, and in addition to recording the battle history of both sides, and then reporting to the main general to listen to the performance of both sides, what weaknesses the enemy had, and how to attack.
The staff group is not omnipotent, otherwise the city would have been broken long ago under their guidance.
One of their important tasks was to track Yusuf's whereabouts, and finally, they found him on the outer city walls.
The battle that day was extremely fierce, the Tang army's offensive was extremely fierce, the catapult smashed the eastern section of the city wall in many places, and hit the big cannibal even more incredible, and the bow and arrow were as dense as a cow's hair, shooting into the city to make it difficult to insert their feet!
In such an attack, the big cannibals also suffered a lot of losses, and the people who died on the city wall spread a layer of the city wall (the Tang army died under the city and piled up half a person high).
When the fighting slowed down, Yusuf personally came to inspect and point at the walls.
His arrival was discovered by the observation post set up by the Tang Army on the well fence (mobile arrow tower), and immediately reported it to the staff group, which had the right to dispose of the battlefield, and immediately ordered: "Kill the commander!" ”
Four mobile large-caliber toad mortars, 300 mm in caliber and 1000 mm long, cast in bronze with an exaggerated toad beak painted on the outside.
They have always been on the position and have never been used.
Belong to the grenadier units, what do they usually use them for?
Prayer and religious service!
Circling around them, conjuncting towards them, muttering words in their mouths.
The Great Cannibals really thought they were religious weapons, so they didn't think they were placed under the section of the city wall where Yusuf was
Yes, they are religious artifacts, and they are the treasures of the "Divine Artillery Sect".
The grenadiers had already calculated the distance, stuffed black powder into the cannon according to the technical manual as a propellant, and then put the explosive bag bundled into a disc shape, and ignited the propellant.
The fuse quickly burned out, and then there was a "boom" four times, and four explosive packets were sent to the location near Yusuf.
Then the astonishing scene was incurred, and the sound of explosions louder than before the launch shook people's ears.
The fire flashed, the smoke of gunpowder billowed out, and the impact of the strong explosion exploded, and everywhere it passed, the big cannibals next to the city wall were blown up and knocked down, and those big cannibals on the open side of the city wall were all blown up and knocked down!
Anyone who has played firecrackers knows that a firecracker less than the size of a finger can seriously injure a person, and a 300 mm caliber explosive bag can be imagined to explode powerfully, especially for the human body in the open field.
When the smoke cleared, all the big cannibals next to Yusuf fell to the ground, and they often couldn't find any wounds on their bodies, but they bled from seven holes, and they were shocked to death.
That's right, this is the "conscienceless cannon" used by the PLA during the civil war of the country, and the official name is the "flying thunder cannon"!
The big cannibal next to him was so frightened that they rushed towards Yusuf and dragged him out, he was not dead!
When Tang Jun threw the flying thunder, his two personal soldiers were not slow to react, and when they saw what was flying, although they didn't know what it was, they also knew that the comer was not good, and instinctively pressed Yusuf under their bodies.
Resisting the impact with their bodies, they sacrificed, allowing Yusuf to save his life.
But his condition was miserable, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were bleeding, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't see anything, he was groggy and confused.
The big cannibals carried him down the city at a rapid pace, and the second batch of flying thunder cannons of the Tang army exploded behind them, and then blew up the people in the city again.
Through the situation observed by Gao Gaojinglan, the staff group reported to the chief general Cheng Boxi: "The 'killing of the commander' was not completed, and Yousufu should have saved his life, but he was carried down to the city and his condition was not very good. ”
"Use the toad cannon, apply the hammer ---- anvil tactics, and attack the city!" Cheng Boxi's face showed a slight expression of joy.
Until now, we have finally seen the dawn of victory!
