On August 21, the Tang army attacked the city again.
This time, the Geshuque tribe and the Axi Jieni tribe, two of the ten surnamed tribes, were responsible for taking turns to attack.
In the morning, a thousand men from the Geshu Que tribe launched a fierce attack on Hengluosi City.
The Geshu Que tribe also did not know how to attack the city.
However, they had learned from the heavy losses suffered by the Shi army in the siege yesterday, and they no longer swarmed towards the city.
The city wall rushed over, but divided a thousand people into three echelons, allowing these Five echelons took turns to attack the city.
There were only more than 300 people in each echelon.
Each echelon was divided into ten groups, with three or four people in each group.
They were spread out.
The density of people under the city was not that dense.
Even from the city wall, Rolling logs and rocks were thrown down, but they could not hit many people.
First, a series of siege ladders were carried towards the city wall by the barbarian soldiers of Geshuque tribe.
They hung the ladders on the city wall under the city wall.
This kind of siege ladder was made by the Tang army and had an undercut at the top.
After being attached to the city wall, it is less likely to be attacked by the defenders on the city wall.
It is overturned and has low elasticity.
People who climb on it will not get up and down and stand unsteadily.
The barbarian soldiers hold weapons in one hand and hold on to the ladder bars with the other hand to climb up step by step.
Even if there are people smashing rocks and shooting arrows at the top of the city, they can still do it.
Limited resistance does not mean there is no defense at all.
The siege of Geshu Que was much improved compared to yesterday's siege of the Shi Army.
Their siege was carried out in a orderly manner, but they have made progress, but the defensive skills of the Dashi Army in the city have also improved a lot.
They have After yesterday's experience, they no longer swarmed on the city wall, but were divided into several shifts by Said to defend.
In this way, half of the people could rest and recover their strength after the battle.
Said remembered that when they attacked the enemy's city in the past, the enemy defenders used boiling water as a means of defending the city.
When his men entered the city wall, the enemy soldiers on the wall poured ladles of boiled water into the walls of his soldiers.
Boiling water was poured on his body, face, feet and hands.
His soldiers immediately screamed and had blisters everywhere on their bodies, and their combat effectiveness immediately fell to the bottom.
So he got up early this morning and sent people to fetch many large pots from the city, and set up stoves on the city walls to boil water.
Now the boiling water finally came in handy.
"Pour the boiling water!"
As Said shouted, one by one the big food soldiers bravely scooped up ladles of boiling water and poured it on the soldiers of the Geshu tribe under the city wall.
"Ah, my face, my eyes, ah" "My hand" The boiling water penetrated into the clothes and burned the soldiers of the Geshu tribe until they screamed in agony.
The soldiers on the top of the city saw that the soldiers of the Geshu tribe under the city wall were burned to the point of screaming and rolling on the ground.
They were exposed one after another.
A cruel smile.
Seeing that using boiling water to defend the city was effective, Said immediately said loudly: "Okay, continue pouring boiling water and burn these damn barbarians to death, hahaha."
Soon, the food soldiers poured down ladles of boiling water.
The soldiers of the Geshu tribe under the city wall were so scalded that they did not dare to approach the city wall anymore.
However, under the supervision of the centurions and thousands of captains, they had to He rushed to the city despite the danger, but the food soldiers on the city wall continued to pour boiling water.
After all, each pot of boiling water is limited, and it takes time to boil the water.
The boiling water for the food army on the city wall was quickly used up, and the stones and arrows were also exhausted.
Now they can only watch other Geshu soldiers follow the Climb up the siege ladder and wait for the soldiers from Geshu's tribe When they climbed to the top of the ladder, they used their weapons to kill the soldiers of the Geshu tribe.
However, the soldiers of the Geshu tribe obviously did not wait to be hacked.
They fiercely raised their weapons and jumped onto the city wall to attack each other with the food army.

Killing, the soldiers of Geshu tribe finally attacked the city.
Zhao Ziliang, who was on the commander's platform, saw that his siege troops had finally attacked the city wall and said loudly: "Okay, we have finally reached the city wall.
Ge Shushan, order them to gain a firm foothold on the city wall.
In addition, I will give you another one."
Siege engine, let your men use it to break open the city gate."
"Yes, general" Ge Shushan agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.
The siege vehicle was covered with iron sheets, with eight wheels underneath and a thick battering ram in it.
The soldiers hid in the siege and pushed it towards the city gate.
The soldiers on the gate tower saw such an iron monster.
Rushing towards the city gate, they all shouted and threw the stones in their hands.
Some people kept throwing stones at them.
The siege vehicles fired arrows, and some people poured kerosene on them and threw torches, but unfortunately, no matter what method was used, they were ineffective against the siege vehicles.
The rocks hit them and only made some craters, and the arrows hit them.
It just makes a clanging sound, and if you pour kerosene on it, it won't burn at all.
With a "bang", the city gate shook violently.
This startled Said.
He knew that it must be the iron monster hitting the city gate.
This iron monster was so powerful that it actually shook the thick city gate.
The door was shaking so hard that if it kept knocking down, the city gate would soon be knocked down by it.
He immediately yelled: "Quick, you go down and seal the city gate, quick, quick, quick."
Said originally wanted to keep the city gate for other purposes.
If the Tang army's siege equipment was too powerful, he would order his generals to lead troops out of the city to destroy the Tang army's siege equipment.
But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it won't work.
The city gate must be blocked, otherwise once the Tang army breaks open the city gate and rushes in, his soldiers will not be able to stop the Tang army's tens of thousands of horses from charging.
Under the organization of Said's generals, dozens of soldiers from the Food Army brought pieces of wood to hold up the city gate from the gate hole.
The siege truck crashed into it more than a dozen times but could not move it. .
At this time, Said organized many soldiers on the city wall to engage in a bloody battle for the city wall with the soldiers of the Geshu tribe who had climbed up the city wall.
There were shouts of killing everywhere on the city wall, sword flashes flashed, and soldiers fell down one by one.
Below, stumps and broken arms were everywhere, scattered weapons and arrows could be seen everywhere, and blood stained the city wall and the ground red.
The soldiers of the Geshu tribe who climbed up the city wall encountered strong resistance.
Said organized a large number of food troops and were not afraid of death.
They drove the soldiers of the Geshu tribe off the city wall step by step.
The Geshu tribe soldiers who had no time to escape were not allowed to escape.
If he didn't jump off the city wall and fall half to death, the soldiers in the siege vehicle under the city gate would have to push the siege vehicle to retreat after they saw the soldiers who had boarded the city were driven off again and fled back.
The leaders of the ten surnamed tribes who could see clearly from the commander's platform couldn't help but regretted seeing this situation, "Oh, it's a pity that we finally climbed up the city wall, but we were driven down by the big cannibal again.
It's a pity that this has to happen."
If we go up the city wall again, I’m afraid many people will die again.”
Zhao Ziliang's face was a little ugly.
He turned to look at Ge Shushan and said angrily: "Chief Ge Shushan, there are orders for attack and retreat.
Without my order, your troops withdrew without permission.
What crime do you deserve?"
Ge Shushan trembled.
When Zhao Ziliang scolded his subordinates for disobeying the rules and retreating without permission, there was no place for his old face.
He was a person who valued reputation and face as his life.
How could he bear being scolded like this in front of others?

His blood rushed to the top of his head.
He gritted his teeth and stood up and bowed: "General, please give me another chance.
This time I will personally lead the people to attack the city.
If I conquer Hengluosi City, I will live, otherwise I will die."
The first wave of attacking troops had fled back, and Ge Shushan could not send them out anymore, so he could only lead the second wave of troops to prepare to continue the attack on the city.
He first said to his daughter Ge Shu Luoyan: "Daughter, you bring "Be prepared for the third wave of troops and be ready to meet my father at any time.
This time, we will capture the top of the city no matter what, open the city gate and rush into the city."
Ge Shu Luoyan is Ge Shushan’s only remaining daughter.
Several of his sons died in infancy.
He gave birth to such a daughter only when he was forty years old.
He was raised as a boy since he was a child.
Therefore, Ge Shu Luoyan’s character is as fierce as a man’s. , she is over 1.7 meters tall, with well-proportioned body parts and concave and convex shapes.
She exudes a compelling heroic spirit.
She is truly heroic and not as weak as other women.
She hurriedly said: "Father, you are old.
Let your daughter take the lead this round.
My daughter promises you that this time we will attack the city and drive out all the cannibals.
Then we will open the city gate and we will rush in together."
"inside the city" Ge Shushan shook his head and said: "No, my father has asked the general to lead the attack in person.
It's settled that you stay here to take care of me."
Ge Shu Luoyan still wanted to fight for it, but Ge Shushan stopped him.
Ge Shushan walked up to Zhao Ziliang and saluted: "General, when our troops attack the city, please send someone to suppress the city with crossbows in the distance."
Enemy troops, cover our troops."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and waved to Zheng San, who was standing not far away.
Zheng San came over and saluted: "General" Zhao Ziliang asked: "How many aircraft has our army built in Jinglan?"
Zheng Sanchun reported: "The craftsmen have been working day and night in the past few days, and they have already built twenty."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Very good, let's do this.
You allocate six of them to the leaders of Geshushan and send someone to teach them how to use them."
Zheng San promised: "Promise" Ge Shushan was overjoyed when he heard this.
He quickly saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "Thank you so much, general.
Thank you so much, general, for having Jinglan to help attack the city.
Our army will definitely be able to climb to the top of the city and kill the scattered defenders in one fell swoop."
The use of the well lantern is not complicated.
It only requires some soldiers to push forward and approach the city wall from below.
Above the well lantern, many archers keep firing arrows at the defenders at the top of the city to suppress them, so that they can cover the people on the ladder.
Friendly troops can approach the city wall for follow-on battles if necessary.
Ge Shushan's men and horses quickly figured out how to use the well.
When everyone was ready, Ge Shushan drew his scimitar and pointed forward: "My sons, follow me to the top of the city and kill the enemy."
The general boarded first Those who come to the top of the city will be rewarded with thousands of cattle and sheep, a hundred golds, and ten beauties.
If they are promoted to one rank and kill an enemy general, I will betroth my daughter, Shu Luoyan, to him, and he will succeed him as his successor after his death.
Khan of the Geshurque tribe" "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" the soldiers of Geshu Que's tribe screamed one after another.
Under such a heavy reward, no one was unmoved.
Not to mention the gold, silver, cattle, sheep and women, just one Geshu Luoyan was enough for these animals.
The corners of my mouth are salivating.
"Kill" Ge Shushan rushed out with a scimitar, and hundreds of people behind him also ran toward the city wall with weapons and ladders.

Some soldiers behind pushed the well rails and moved forward quickly
