Chapter 499 Contradictory and siege like this?

Bai Dahai is a team leader in the Tuyuhun royal city guard, and he is in charge of defending the city head at the southwest corner of Fucheng City.

Three days ago, when 5 people came down from the city to call for battle, Bai Haihai was sweating in his heart. He was not afraid of the opponent's number, but the opponent's tricks. Fucheng City is a lonely city without reinforcements. If it is surrounded for a year or two , it must be over.

Fortunately, Khan was quick-witted and provoked his opponents to let him quickly attack the city, which made everyone feel at ease.

But there are often a lot of strange things. Apart from being invisible, how can the army of Datang be good at bluffing?Didn't you say you were going to attack hard?It has been three days, and they have only camped in the south of Fucheng City, facing each other, and there is no sign of attacking the city at all.

Could it be that he was going back on his word and wanted to besiege the city?It's not like, because the opponent is only camped on one side, and there is no encirclement on all sides. This situation makes the defenders at the top of the city baffled, and it also arouses a lot of uneasiness.

A soldier asked, "Haitou, what do you mean by these people in the city? They didn't just say a few harsh words to scare us, did they?"

Bai Haihai's eyes were startled, and he said seriously: "What do you know, little bunny? The generals below are not ordinary people. When they became famous, you were still playing with mud. I don't know what they are going to do, but I am afraid that Fucheng City... "

"Shh...

Haitou, keep your voice down, and letting the general hear you will punish you for disturbing the morale of the army. "This soldier is also kind.

Bai Haihai nodded and said no more, but thinking of hearing the name of Li Yuanba, King of Chu that day, it brought back memories of the troubled times in the early years. He was a man who dared to fight against heaven and earth. There is no place in the world that he cannot go to. .

A dark-skinned soldier next to him sighed: "I want to end this battle quickly. No matter whether I win or lose, I don't want to be locked in the cage of Fucheng City."

"Dahei, why don't you..."

"My family is outside the city, and my eldest brother is still serving as a soldier in Tuobu City in the north. Tang Jun said that he has taken it there. I don't know what happened to my family and my eldest brother. I want to go back and see them." The soldier named Dahei sighed. .

Hearing this explanation, everyone fell silent, not only Dahei's home is outside the city, but who is not a soldier here?The people living in the city are all rich and noble families, unless they are too poor, who will come to be the leader of the army and go through life and death?
Bai Haihai looked at this group of soldiers who were gradually losing their fighting spirit and fighting spirit, and sighed in his heart, Tuyuhun's chances of winning were reduced by [-]%.

At this moment, a soldier exclaimed: "Haitou, look quickly, the Tang army has moved, moved, they are going to attack the city."

Everyone looked towards the opposite Datang barracks in unison, and saw that the opposite barracks gate was wide open, and two teams of cavalry walked out slowly, and then a huge black thing slowly came out from inside, which looked like a door panel, but it was not know what.

"No, shouldn't they attack the city? Why did they make a door?" Dahei asked in confusion.

Bai Haihai shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the door panel, the length should be used to cross the moat, I didn't expect there to be such a skilled craftsman in the Tang army, it took three days to build a huge bridge deck twice as long as the suspension bridge.

It's just very strange. Since ancient times, soldiers have been sieging the city to fill the river with sand and soil, and the city of Fucheng is strong. This board is used to cross the river?How many people can come?How to escape when the siege is not going well?Weird thing! "

Under the puzzled eyes of the Tuyuhun defenders at the top of the city, the door panel of the Tang army quickly came towards Fucheng City. At this time, the cavalry guards on both sides had stopped and stopped moving forward. The Tang army brigade stopped in the distance and waited and watched.

Two quarters of an hour later, the huge door panel finally entered the attacking range of the guards at the top of the city. The guards did not dare to neglect, and immediately commanded a wave of arrows, but what kind of arrows can shoot through the door panel that can be used as a bridge deck?
There are no less than a hundred people holding their hands and moving slowly. Everyone hides below, and the door panel is the best shield.

The arrows shot in from both sides were firmly blocked by the guards below with shields. A wave of arrow rain had no effect other than verifying the firmness of the door panels.

The Tuyuhun defenders could only watch helplessly as the opponent lifted the door panel and slowly built it on the moat.

"All the troops listen to the order and be careful. This is a trick of the Tang army. Once they get out of the wooden bridge, all arrows will be fired, and all of them will be left behind."

The guard felt dissatisfied, thinking that no matter how strong your turtle shell is, won't you come out after building the bridge?When you come out from below, it's your time of death.

But the reality is completely different from what he expected. For this operation, the staff battalion in Datang has put in a lot of effort. With the participation of Mohist elite disciples, it only took two days to build the bridge, but it took everyone a whole day to design this idea. After studying for a day, we didn't take action until we felt that everything was safe.

When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty put the door on the other side of the moat, people slowly withdrew from behind the door. Just as the guards at the top of the city were about to call out to shoot arrows, they saw how shameless these people were, one by one holding their shields and heading towards the city. retreat?Are you carrying the door panel and the shield on your back?
Then why did an iron turtle run out from under the door panel?One is not big, only three steps wide, four steps long, and a black iron shell half the height of a person.

When the black iron shell was withdrawn, there was a loud noise, and Tang Jun's side also put down the door panel, and a temporary river bridge that was stronger than the Suspension Bridge in Fucheng City was built like this.

"Fire arrows!"

Tens of thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city, but the two hundred people below the city had already formed a small circle. Everyone raised their shields, like a hemispherical iron shell, and retreated quickly.

Leaving only the small iron shell that just ran out from under the door panel, he slowly climbed up the suspension bridge, crossed the moat, and went straight to the south gate of Fucheng City.

"This is a plot by the Tang army. Hurry up, shoot arrows, no, use stones, don't let them attack the city gate, send another 200 people to the city gate, and be sure to hold it steady.

The big stone almost smashed the iron shell. "The guard at the top of the city panicked, and there was a lot of uneasiness in his heart.

But this iron shell is a hemispherical shape carefully crafted. It is covered with a half-finger-thick iron sheet and a hardwood skeleton inside. Although there are only four people inside, they all slipped aside when the falling rocks hit them. Everyone watched this small iron turtle quickly Slipped into the city gate.

The Tuyuhun soldiers guarding the city gate felt strange, why didn't they see the other party rushing to the city gate?Then what are they doing in the city gate?Do you want to drill a hole from below?
Four Tang soldiers got out of the iron shell, and in groups of two and two, they soon began to dig holes with axes and chisels on the walls on both sides of the city gate.

A quarter of an hour later, there were football-sized holes one and a half meters deep on both sides. These four people were all selected masons, otherwise it would be very difficult for ordinary people to do this.

Then a few people took out two black balls the size of footballs. This is the thunderbolt developed by Datang. According to the formula given by Bai Fan, Daomen developed high-efficiency gunpowder, not the so-called black gunpowder of the local method. Than.

After burying the thunderbolt, leaving two meters for the lead wire, several people quickly retracted into their original small iron shell, took out the fire pocket, lit the lead wire, and ran away, carrying the small iron shell and rushing out as fast as possible.

The defenders at the top of the city were dumbfounded. Seeing that the little iron turtle ran as fast as a beetle, they forgot to even shoot arrows for a while, and many people even laughed as if it was a joke. This Tang Dynasty is really stupid. Just use an iron turtle to test it out?

　Two bursts in the morning, please support.
