Li Yuan heard that the Liao army had come up, and immediately said to Chai Shao: "Driven troops to guard the city wall! Don't be climbed onto the city wall by the enemy!" Chai Shao clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. There is still a broad and deep outside Chang'an City.

The moat, the enemy cannot attack the city wall without filling it!" Li Yuan then realized that there was a wide moat outside the city, and his originally worried heart couldn't help calming down.

Chai Shao was worried that Li Yuan would make mistakes when he stayed here, so he clasped his fists and said, "Please return to the palace, and leave the defense here to the last general! The last general will never let the enemy climb to the top of the city!" Li Yuan felt that he was

Not only does this place not have any effect, but it will also hinder them. I couldn't help but sigh in secret, patted Chai Shao on the shoulder, and said, "I will leave it to you in the North City Gate!" Then I sang to my back: "

Mr. Sun!" A thin and expressionless middle-aged man immediately ran up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty!"

Li Yuan pointed to the middle-aged man and smiled at Chai Shao and said, "Chai Shao, this hero Sun Yan is a master sent by the Emperor Tianshi to help him. I will send him to your men to wait for use." Chai Shao

He couldn't help but look at Sun Yan. Sun Yan clasped his fists to Chai Shao and said, "I've seen the general!" Chai Shao nodded.

Li Yuan smiled as if he was a little self-deprecating: "I will only hinder General Chai here! I will leave now!" Chai Shao hurriedly said: "My general is afraid!My general will send you to Your Majesty!" Li Yuan turned over and came to the crowd.

The Imperial Guard will go back to the palace next time.

At this time, another huge sound of the sky and the earth was shaking, and the Liao army's catapult car sent out another wave of huge rocks! The imperial guards were worried that Li Yuan would be affected, so they hurriedly protected Li Yuan and ran away, looking a little embarrassed.

It looked like the officer responsible for observing the movements of the Liao army on the city wall suddenly shouted: "The Liao army attacking troops are only fifty steps away!"

Chai Shao immediately said to the general: "Source your crossbowman to the city wall immediately and rely on the wall to protect himself from the enemy!" The general Yingnuo immediately led his 1,500 crossbowmans to run.

After getting on the city wall, he quickly lined up along the city wall, bent his bow and arrows to shoot arrows at the approaching Liao army outside the city! The arrows kept roaring out of the city, but were almost blocked by the shield curtain and wooden raft of the Liao army.

There are many loud noises coming and going! I won’t introduce the shield here, as the previous article appears many times. As for the wooden raft, it is actually a special equipment that attacking troops often use, especially in attack and defense

When a solid city wall is used, the wooden raft is to first tie a chassis with solid logs, install a simple wooden wheel, and then tie a wooden wall with a round wood, install the wooden wall at a 60-degree angle.

On the chassis, when siege, countless wooden straits advance in unison, not only can defend against the opponent's crossbow shooting, but also can withstand the stones thrown by the opponent's catapult cart and the guns and arrows fired by the bed crossbow, which can greatly reduce the attack force's

casualties.

Just as the Tang army crossbowmen began to block the Liao army, nearly a thousand other Tang army officers and soldiers rushed to the castle carts and crossbows on the city wall under the order of Chai Shao, and quickly prepared to shoot outside the city.

The catapult carts and mattresses equipped by the Tang army were actually the most advanced heavy weapons of this era. However, they encountered the Liao army that had cheated. Therefore, their catapult carts and mattresses were compared with similar equipment from the Liao army.

It will be much pale in comparison!

The Tang army's crossbows and catapults began to shoot. The sharp sound of huge guns and arrows tearing the air made the scalp numb. Stones were flying all over the sky, constantly falling around the Liao army's attacking troops or crossing the wooden raft and falling into the crowd! The Tang army

Although the bed crossbow and catapult cart were not as good as those of the Liao army, it was also amazing, causing some casualties to the Liao army's attacking troops.

At this moment, the Liao army's heavy catapult car began to show its power again. With an amazing whistling sound, countless huge rocks flew straight towards the city wall like meteor showers! One was on the top of the city and was about to launch it.

The catapult was suddenly hit by a huge rock roaring down. With a loud bang, the catapult immediately split into pieces. The broken throw arm swept out and hit the two Tang soldiers heavily.

The two Tang soldiers were immediately knocked out of the city wall like ragdolls and fell down, making shrill screams.

The Tang army's catapult car, crossbow, and crossbowmen tried hard to stop the Liao army's advance, while the Liao army's heavy catapult car continued to show its power and caused considerable losses to the Tang army. The Liao army's attacking troops were covering the catapult car

Going down to the moat, then laying the wooden rafts along the river. Then, the Liao army officers and soldiers took advantage of the wooden rafts to carry mud and stones to fill the moat. For a moment, water splashed in the moat, and trucks of mud and stones were scattered.

Pour the river!

Chai Shao received a report and learned that the Liao army was filling the moat, and the officers and soldiers on the top of the city could not stop them. In an anxious manner, he immediately ordered three thousand officers and soldiers to go up to the city wall to help in the battle! However, what Chai Shao expected was that when these three thousand

As soon as the officers and soldiers stepped onto the city wall, the Liao army's catapult car, which was originally bombarded by the catapult cart and the crossbow, concentrated its firepower to throw a dense rain of huge stones at the Tang army on the city wall! In an instant, the earth swayed and the mountain shook, and the city wall was on the wall.

Flew with flesh and blood! Before the three thousand Tang troops who had just arrived on the city wall were ready, they were hit by the huge rock rain falling from their heads and suffered heavy casualties! Chai Shao had no choice but to withdraw the officers and soldiers who had just been sent.

Go down!

The long-range attack weapons of both sides continued to attack the other side, but gradually, the Liao army's catapulted car suppressed the Tang army's catapulted car and crossbow! More than an hour later, there were only occasionally catapulted car and crossbow on the top of the city facing outside the city.

The Liao army launched a useless attack! The Liao army attack troops were operating at full speed, and the soil and stones were constantly poured into the moat. The battle was not fierce, and time was passing by rapidly without realizing it.

Chai Shao was very anxious and wanted to send his army to the city wall to help the battle, but he was afraid of the bombardment of the opponent's heavy catapult! Finally, Chai Shao made a bold decision and decided to take the initiative to attack unexpectedly! Assemble all the two thousand cavalry under his command to go out of the city to counterattack the enemy!

When Chai Shao thought of this, he immediately ordered a general and a general to gather around the city gate and prepare to lead his army to counterattack. At this moment, Sun Yan suddenly clasped his fists and said, "The general should shoulder the heavy responsibility and should not leave."

Let me lead the cavalry to attack the Liao people!" Chai Shao glanced at the thin and expressionless middle-aged man, and felt that this man should have extraordinary martial arts skills. He led the army to break through the battlefield and should be more suitable than himself. As soon as he thought of this, he nodded.
Chapter completed!
