"It's a pity, it's such a pity.
The total number of these cattle and sheep is more than five or six thousand.
It's such a pity to shoot them all like this," Wang Can murmured to himself.
Zhao Ziliang shook his head helplessly: "There is no way.
You can't run fast or far with these cattle and sheep.
I estimate that the Tuqishi army under Tuoyunbao City has already discovered that their camp has been attacked, and they will withdraw soon."
Come back.
Once they catch up, I don’t need to tell you the consequences.
You should also know that only by shooting all these cattle and sheep will they be short of food.
They may also become angry and attack Tuoyun Castle even more fiercely.
However, this is all in the future.
We will solve this problem.
Crisis, let’s find another way next.”
“That’s all it can do” The soldiers kept firing arrows.
When all the arrows were shot, they quickly rushed over with weapons and slaughtered the sheep.
They drove away all the cattle that had not been shot to death.
There was no other way.
The number of people With limited resources, limited arrows, and limited time, after killing all the sheep and driving away all the cattle, Zhao Ziliang quickly evacuated with his soldiers.
At this time, an extremely fierce battle was taking place in Toyun Castle.
Inside the castle, more than a dozen musicians were dragging long horns.
The huge trumpet of the horn was placed on the ground.
They were responsible for blowing the tail end vigorously.
Each horn made a blood- boiling sound, which was accompanied by the sound of drums on the tower.
Compared together, they form the most beautiful movement on the battlefield.
"kill" "kill" A large number of Tuqishi soldiers carried more than a dozen siege ladders and rushed towards Tuoyun Castle.
On the city wall, the Tang soldiers held their weapons and looked nervously at the Tuqishi army rushing over.
Xi Yunqing saw many people looking panicked.
After all, the difference in strength was too big, and even he himself was not confident that he could withstand this sudden attack.
He drew out his sword and shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic.
The swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen retreat, the archers step forward and prepare."
"Kill!"
The army suddenly rushed over from the city, raising smoke and dust all over the sky, and countless shouts of killing were deafening.
Xi Yunqing saw Tuqi Shi's army approaching and shouted: "Two hundred paces of archers shoot upwards and let go of arrows."
"Swish swish" "Swish swish" Struck by the rain of arrows, the Tuqishi soldiers who rushed over were shot and fell one by one.
But the others felt nothing and still howled and rushed towards the city wall.
These Tuqishi people were wearing animal skins and animal skin hats.
They looked extremely fierce, but the defense power of their animal skins and leather armors could not resist the Tang army at all.
The strike of the arrow.
"One hundred and fifty steps, the archer shoots with his back and releases his arrow."
"Swish swish" The Tuqishi who rushed over fell to pieces again, and the large number of deaths of their companions made the other Tuqishi even more ferocious.
Their ferocity was fully aroused, and they rushed faster and harder.
Xi Yunqing shouted again: "One hundred steps, archers, shoot freely" After hearing this order, the archers began to shoot arrows freely.
They did not have to follow the unified command to fire arrows.
Arrows kept shooting down from the city wall, taking away lives one by one.
In the military formation of the Tuqishi people, Shunishi half saw the arrows shot from the city tower causing huge casualties to his own men.

He couldn't help but sigh: "The bows and arrows of the Tang army are really powerful, not only better than ours A bow and arrow can shoot farther and be much sharper.”
Ge Shuchang, the leader of the Geshu tribe, said: "Yes, we lost 20% of our casualties before we even rushed to the city.
If we cannot capture Tuoyun Castle in one go, another 20% will die if we attack next time.
This loss is really too great."
Big” Banchuluo gritted his teeth and said: "Today we will capture Tuoyun Castle in one fell swoop.
No matter how heavy the casualties are, it's worth passing on the order.
Whoever climbs the tower first will be promoted to the next level and will be rewarded with a hundred cattle, sheep, and ten pieces of silk."
"promise"
The messenger quickly conveyed the order.
It is said that a brave man must be rewarded with a heavy reward.
When he heard such a heavy reward, the Tuqishi soldiers who were attacking the city screamed one by one and rushed even more fiercely.
"The archers retreat, the swordsmen and shieldmen advance, and the spearmen follow behind."
There is a sword and shield bearer standing behind each battlement, and another spearman hiding behind the sword and shield bearer.
When the Tuqishi people are setting up the siege ladder on the city wall, the sword shield bearer and the spearman immediately work together to lift the ladder.
Push down.
Almost nomadic tribes like the Tuqishi are cavalry and are not good at attacking cities.
Therefore, the siege ladders they built are also substandard.
There is no hook at the top of the ladder and cannot be hung on the city wall.
When the Tuqishi people put the ladder up on the city wall, At that time, the soldiers of the Tang Army easily overturned the ladder.
Some Tuqishi soldiers who had just climbed up the ladder were knocked over by the ladder and pressed to the ground.
The Tuqi Shi soldiers had to put the siege ladder back up the city wall again.
This time the Tuqi Shi soldiers learned the lesson and lowered the ladder so that the Tang soldiers on the wall could not reach it.
The siege ladder finally relied on On the city wall, Tuqishi soldiers immediately climbed up the ladder with their weapons.
Xi Yunqing saw it clearly and immediately shouted: "Slinger, throw stones at me!"
The soldiers lifted stones one by one and threw them at the Tuqishi soldiers who were climbing the ladder.
Stones fell from the city wall one by one.
The Tuqishi soldiers were hit with bruises on their heads and bloodied bodies, and their bodies also fell.
In just a quarter of an hour, the city wall was already covered with a layer of corpses of Tuqishi people, but the Tuqishi soldiers behind were not timid at all and continued to climb up the siege ladder.
Chu Mukunbu Lüchu, who was watching the siege from behind, frowned and said: "The casualties are too great.
I heard that the Tang army would build a siege tower called a well fence, and arrange a large number of soldiers holding bows, arrows and weapons in the well."
Above the railing, the soldiers below pushed the railing closer to the city wall.
On the side, the well railing is higher than the city wall.
The soldiers on it can shoot arrows at the soldiers on the wall from a high position.
The soldiers with weapons can jump on the city wall to fight with the defenders.
It becomes much easier to capture the city.
It is a pity that our craftsmen cannot Can build this kind of engineering tool" The wrinkles on Luo Chuu's orange peel-like face deepened.
He thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Pass my military order and send five hundred cavalry to rush within a stone's throw of the city wall and launch a mounted fire attack on the Tang army on the wall. , suppress the defenders at the top of the city, and provide cover for our men who are attacking the city.
The other leaders and generals were overjoyed when they heard this, "Ban Chu Luo Chu, this is a good move.
It will definitely suppress the Tang army at the top of the city."
Five hundred cavalry quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall and fired arrows at the top of the city.
However, the effect was not ideal.
There were arrows blocking the city wall, and due to the angle, the arrows shot from below all landed on the fort.
Inside, only a few unlucky ones were hit by direct fire.
"Hey, it still doesn't work."
Seeing that the suppression effect of bows and arrows under the city was not ideal, the leaders and generals of Tuqishi's various ministries all sighed one by one.

Ban Chuluo observed for a while and said to the ordering soldiers: "Go and pass on my military order.
Immediately ask them to step back twenty steps and use the throwing method."
"promise" The ordering soldier immediately ran over and conveyed the order: "The leader is ordered to retreat twenty steps and use the throwing method."
At this time, the Tang army on the city wall was concentrating on dealing with the Tuqishi soldiers attacking the city.
No one noticed that a group of cavalry not far from the city wall had changed their tactics.
"Swish, swish, swish" a wave of arrows shot over and fell from the sky.
The effect of this kind of projectile was indeed obvious.
Many of the Tang troops on the city wall were hit by arrows.
The Tang army itself had few troops.
After being hit by such a blow, the defensive force became even weaker.
After the defensive force weakened, the sudden cavalry Shiren seized the opportunity and attacked in one fell swoop.
After rushing up the city wall, the soldiers on horseback rushed up the city wall one by one and started a bloody battle with the Tang army.
"Kill" Xi Yunqing kept waving his sword to kill the Tuqi Shi soldiers who rushed up
