Chapter 184 Brute Force Siege
The bloody battle had just ended for half a day.Before dawn, the Khitan army seemed to feel that the Gaoshan Fort was very small and could easily be defeated in one battle, so they launched a strong attack on the Gaoshan Fort with the momentum of the first attack.

Now the khaki-colored rammed-earth city is smeared with blood, and the lower part of the mountain fort is piled up with Khitan corpses. Arrowheads grow on top of the corpses like weeds on the prairie.

"Han Er's arrows are too many, and the Er Langs can't stand it!" The leader of Yu Yuling who retreated, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said loudly.

"It's not Han'er who guards the city," said Yi Lijin from Yu Yuling's department, uttering a few words, "I saw that rebellious Shi Defeng on the top of the city."

"So what if it's Shi Defeng? I want to tell Khan that Han Jialang came prepared to build the city. Such a deadly attack is not an option. I think there are at least tens of thousands of iron arrowheads in the city," said the man at the end, He clicked tut in his mouth, and said with an envious expression, "Look at Shi Defeng, he used to be like a dog in our Yu Yuling tribe before, and he voted for Han'er. As a result, there are so many iron arrowheads. You must know that our Khitan Eight Division If you add all the iron arrowheads together, there are not so many."

"If you are envious, you also voted for the Han people?" Yu Yuling's Yili Jin glanced at her long and narrow eyes.

"How dare, how dare," the headman lowered his head and said, "I asked the children to come forward and pick up some of the iron arrowheads. What do you think? Don't worry, just pick up some of the farthest ones."

Yi Lijin was noncommittal, and immediately the leader ordered dozens of dexterous clansmen to gather around the Gaoshan Castle and retrieve the iron arrowheads around it.

"The Khitan people are only promising like this!"

Seeing the Khitan people hiding from the defenders' bows and arrows under the high mountain castle, the generals of the Han family in Dahong City all laughed when they found dead bodies all over the ground turning over arrows.On the other hand, Er Tuo and other generals of the Xi clan showed embarrassment. Without Li Chongjiu's support, they would have been like the Khitan people before, picking up iron arrowheads all over the ground after every battle.This is only after the victory.This time Li Chongjiu transported [-] iron arrowheads from Feihu County, all of which were made by the new workshop.This new arrowhead is not only to update the equipment of the Yuyi guarding army, but also a lot of Xi people, so they are all equipped.

In the early morning of the next day, after hitting a wall, the Khitan tribe besieged Gaoshanbao on three sides, and overwhelmed the army under Dahong City.

With the sound of the horn, the Khitan people at the east gate of the city brought out hundreds of carts, which were neatly filled with soil, and each cart was drawn by two horses.They blindfolded all the horses' eyes and stabbed them with knives.
Horseback.After the horse suffered from the pain, it neighed and rushed away leading the cart.

These horses rushed around the moat, stumbled and fell into the river, and brought the cart behind them into the river.I saw the horses struggling and neighing in the river, trying to climb out of the river, but because they were dragged by the cart, they could only sink to the bottom of the river one by one.

After a round of carts filled the river, thousands of Khitan cavalry gathered again. They approached the moat again, threw the sheepskin bags wrapped in soil on their horses into the river, and continued to fill the river. The Han army on the top of the city watched Everyone was amazed that the Khitan people's method of filling the moat was too extravagant, first with war horses and then with sheepskin bags.However, the Khitan people's hard work paid off, and in less than half an hour, they had paved a hundred-meter-wide flat land on the east moat of the city, where men and horses could gallop.

Immediately there was a sound of rumbling drums, and another three hundred strong Khitans, holding leather shields in one hand and carrying sheepskin bags in the other, lined up in a row in the distance.At this time, a horn blew, and these strong Khitans yelled together, wading through the passage on the moat, carrying sheepskin bags, and came straight to the bottom of the city.

Raise your bow!

shoot!
There was the sound of bow strings being tightened at the top of the city, and countless people raised their bows to the sky like a full moon, and then the ground collapsed, and arrows shot down the city like a torrential rain.The Khitan man carrying the sheepskin bag held up a leather shield to cover the left side and the right side, but the arrows still rained down.

"Arms ready!"

On the top of the city, hundreds of crossbows with a bow strength of two stones were stretched out together.

The general looked at the city without expression for a while, and said, "Shoot!"

The crossbowmen pulled their hanging knives.The gun rattled, and there was the muffled sound of arrows piercing through the air. The Khitan's leather shield was like thin paper under the powerful crossbow.Rewind and shoot again!The sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh is hard to hear.After a while, there was no more Khitan standing under the city.

Seeing that all 300 people were gone, the attacking Khitan Yili Jin seemed expressionless, so he called in another 300 people, and after a while, only 50 people retreated, and another wave of 300 people went up to the defenders to counterattack with arrows. The strength was a little weak, and finally nearly a hundred people retreated.And just below the city was a two-foot-wide weirway road leading to the top of the city.As soon as I saw it, there was a commotion at the green bull and white horse banner in the east of the city.

Under the big banner, the veins on Da He Duo Luo's forehead burst out, and Yi Li Jin under his command quarreled.

"Khan, you are taking our son to die!"

"We don't have iron shields, we can't stop the crossbows of the Han people!"

"We don't make any siege weapons!"

"In terms of siege, only the Turkic people on this grassland can break through the city of the Han people."

"Don't be wordy!" Dahe Duoluo said at this time, "The Han people have built their cities here. Do you think that one day, the Han people will build all their cities on the edge of the Wuhou Qin River?"

All Yi Li Jin's complexions darkened. Over the past year, Shi Dexi and slaves of various ethnic groups under their command fled south to Yu Yi Town one after another. If this continues, one day they will even lose their tribal land.

"Okay, one of the fish beam roads has been paved, at least two more will be paved and widened, and then I will send people to the city, and I will order two tribes to send troops. Yes. Bring all the leather shields from all the ministries and give them to each of the sons of Chongcheng." Dahe Duoluo's voice was as iron as iron, and there was no doubt about it.

Then three hundred people carrying sheepskin bags stood under the top of the city. They looked at a straight weir road leading directly to the top of the city, and all the corpses of the clansmen below.

"kill!"

The Khitan howled like a wolf, and then rushed towards the top of the city.And another part of Khitan warriors took up swords and guns and killed the top of the city through the weir road.After bloodshed at dusk, and the Khitan people paid another five or six hundred lives, they managed to open three weir roads above the defenders' city, and widened yesterday's main road to three feet.
Rest for one night, and break the city tomorrow, the Khitan people said so, their sacrifices were not in vain, tomorrow the brave Khitan warriors will be able to step on the soil bag to kill the top of the city, how can those Han people be our brave Khitan opponents in close combat .

On the second day, the Khitan people were full of confidence and prepared to usher in a day of fighting, but when they looked towards the top of the city, their legs gave way and they almost fell to the ground.On the head of the city where Yuliang Road passed, the defenders used soil bags overnight to raise the city wall by one foot.
