The soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, who were regarded as a combat unit, held up their shields to form a shield array.
The shield array slowly moved closer to the wall.
Hundreds of shield arrays of the same size crawled like turtles.
When these turtle shell-like shields The array appeared in the light, and was soon discovered by the big man-eater on the wall.
"Look, the Tang Dynasty is coming."
With a scream, the big food soldiers on the wall stuck out their heads.
Someone immediately confirmed: "It's from the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty people have touched it."
Manhard climbed up to the archery hole on the wall with his shield and slowly stretched out his head to look under the wall.
His eyes suddenly opened wide and he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Throw stones, throw stones and hit them to death."
Kill them" The soldiers on the wall did not respond when they heard this order.
Manhard couldn't help but became furious: "Why didn't you throw stones?
Didn't you hear my general's order?"
The guard of the village wall cried sadly: "Your Majesty General, we built the camp in a hurry and did not have time to collect stones.
Besides, there are no stones to collect around here.
There is loess and yellow sand everywhere, and you can't even see the shadow of the stones."
The houses in this Bam oasis, including the castle, are all made of earthen bricks, with no stone at all.
"Damn it!"
Manhard cursed and immediately roared: "Shoot them with bows and arrows, shoot them to death."
The Taishi soldiers on the wall then opened their bows and set arrows to shoot at the tortoise shell-like shield array of the Western Qin army under the wall.
However, they only heard bursts of clanking metal sounds, and then heard a scream.
With the sound, all the arrows fired by the Dashi soldiers were blocked by the shields, and did not hurt the Western Qin soldiers at all.
The soldiers of the Western Qin Army holding the shield array continued to move towards the wall without stopping, getting closer and closer.
This frightened the Dashi soldiers on the wall.
Although the bows and arrows shot had no effect, they still kept moving. of shooting arrow downwards.
Wei Gao saw clearly from his horseback and ordered to his general: "We can let the second battalion use bows and arrows to counterattack.
Tell the brothers to pay attention to the range and don't shoot at the brothers under the wall."
The "understood" general clasped his hands in agreement and rode away.
Soon, the second battalion's long-range attack began.
Waves of arrows landed accurately on or behind the village wall, and many soldiers of the Food Army were shot down.
The casualties of the soldiers on the wall were increasing, but there was still no way to deal with the Western Qin army that had reached under the wall.
This made the guard of the wall anxious.
He said to Manhard: "General Your Excellency, please think of a solution quickly.
The Western Qin Army has already reached under the stronghold wall.
They will be able to bring down the stronghold wall very quickly.
When they come in, we will be in big trouble."
Manhard was also anxious.
If it were broad daylight, he would not be worried at all.
With the protection of the stronghold wall, the Western Qin cavalry had no good way to deal with him for the time being.
But at night, the Western Qin army was in the dark, and he and his men The soldiers were in the open, and they were all infantry and could only be beaten passively, unable to fight back at all.
Manhard even heard the soldiers of the Western Qin Army below him using knives to chop the wood for the wall.
These were fences made of wood, and then a layer of wooden boards was laid on the wooden fence.
This is how the wall was built. , but if the wooden fence underfoot is cut off, the wall will definitely fall down.
In desperation, Manhard gritted his teeth and said: "There is no other way now.
I can only jump down and fight with the Western Qin army.

Pass this general's order and immediately mobilize three thousand sword and shield soldiers from the camp.
Hurry!"
"Yes, Your Majesty General" Arrows are still being shot down on the wall.
This is just a psychological comfort, and it does effectively slow down the attack speed of the Western Qin Army.
However, this does not completely prevent the Western Qin Army from cutting down at the foot of the wall.
Some The soldiers of the Western Qin Army put thick hemp ropes on the wooden stakes.
At this moment, the sword and shield soldiers transferred from the camp rushed to the stronghold wall.
One by one, they jumped off the stronghold wall and smashed into the shield array, but they failed to break through the shield array's defense.
"Stand back and form a shield formation."
As Wei Gao's generals shouted, the small turtle shell-like shield formations quickly distanced themselves from the soldiers of the Great Food Army who jumped down, forming a formation.
A large shield array, the shield array moved forward again, and the attacks of the Japanese soldiers who jumped down were all blocked by the shields.
The shield array began to move forward, and the Japanese soldiers who jumped down were pushed back one after another.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang, and both sides of the war stopped at the same time.
They all looked at the source of the sound, and saw that a large section of the wall was pulled down by a few thick hemp ropes.
Hundreds of thousands of food soldiers fell down and screamed in agony.
When Manhard and all the soldiers who participated in the battle saw this situation, they were immediately confused.
It was over.
Wei Gao saw it clearly from a distance, and immediately raised his spear and pointed forward, shouting: "The opportunity has come, brothers, follow me into the cannibal's camp.
Kill people and dogs when you see them.
Follow me." ah" "Charge!"
The Western Qin cavalrymen raised their weapons and hit their horses, following Wei Gao and rushing toward the gap in the village wall.
Rumbling, the sound of a large number of horse hooves spread, and murderous intent swept over them.
Facing the menacing Western Qin cavalry, Manhard suddenly felt his liver and gallbladder split, and he shouted sternly: "Quickly block this gap for me!"
At Manhard's call, a phalanx of spearmen ran over from the camp and blocked the gap in the village wall.
Before they had time to stand firm, they were hit by a series of bows and arrows from the Western Qin cavalry who rushed over.
It was a heavy blow, and the spear formation became sparse.
When Wei Gao led the cavalry to charge hard, the scattered spear formation disintegrated and collapsed.
As the Western Qin cavalry rushed into the camp, many square formations of the Great Food Army in the camp were thrown into chaos out of fear and panic, and began to flee.
Not only were these people unable to help, they also brought huge consequences to their own people.
Seeing the trouble, they turned and fled, scattering their own phalanx.
Manhard was dumbfounded as he watched the Western Qin cavalry rush into his camp as if there was no one around, shooting and hacking his soldiers everywhere.
He was suddenly heartbroken and ran down from the wall with some guards immediately.
Rush to a slightly larger sword and shield phalanx to organize soldiers for defense.
Wei Gao led the cavalry under his command to charge back and forth in the camp of the Great Food Army and shoot arrows.
He did not know how many people were killed.
When he found that the Great Food Army had begun to form an organized military formation for defense, he knew that if he continued to fight, he would not be able to take advantage of it.
Seeing that they were cheap, they immediately left the camp with the cavalry, leaving only the corpses of the food soldiers on the ground and more than 10,000 fearful soldiers and generals of the food soldiers.
Manhard looked at the corpses on the ground, and his whole expression was stunned.
He yelled in his heart: "I brought these big food soldiers to rescue the city of Shulgaz, but here in Ba Mu Oasis was suppressed and attacked by the Western Qin army, what the hell is this?"
They were busy until the end of the night, and the camp was finally tidied up.
The gaps in the collapsed wall were refilled and repaired.
According to statistics, more than 3,100 people died in the attack by the Western Qin army this time, and another 1,000 people died.
Many people were injured to varying degrees, and after hearing the casualty reports from his subordinates, Manhard felt like crying.
Just as the food army in the camp fell asleep again, and was about to fall asleep but was confused, the rapid and rapid beating of drums suddenly sounded outside the camp, and the generals of the food army who were familiar with the attack orders of the Western Qin Army were suddenly awakened. , ran out of the tent and shouted for the Dashi soldiers to get up again and organize defense.
Some soldiers climbed up the wall, and a large number of soldiers were organized to form an array behind the wall.

Another wave of arrow rain came over, and the food soldiers on the wall and behind the wall were hit by bows and arrows again.
Many people died as a result.
The surviving food soldiers immediately held up their shields to block the rain of arrows falling from the sky.
After this commotion for a while, the Western Qin Army ceased its activities without even showing up.
It was not until half an hour later that Manhard noticed that the Western Qin Army had not moved and ordered the soldiers to rest.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, the Western Qin Army came back again, and used running tactics to continuously shoot rockets into the wall and camp.
The rockets were nailed to the wooden wall and quickly destroyed the wall.
It burned, and the rockets that landed in the camp set fire to many tents and defense materials.
"ah" "ah" The big food soldiers on the wall were swallowed up by the fire and burned all over their bodies.
They ran around in the fire and kept screaming.
After a while, they fell into the fire and became motionless.
The other big food soldiers heard These screams and the sight of their companions dying so miserably made everyone feel chilled in their hearts.
Cold sweat broke out on Manhard's forehead.
This time, the Western Qin Army still did not appear, but it brought greater trouble to him and the soldiers of the Food Army under his command.
The fire burned the walls and tents of the village.
He wanted to The results of their hard work at a huge price throughout the night were burned to ashes, and he had to lead the soldiers of the Food Army to put out the fire.
Buckets of people were lifted up from the well.
After nearly two hours of work, the fire was finally put out.
But by this time, the sky was already getting brighter.
Only then did Manhard realize that he and the soldiers had not slept all night and had nothing to do.
More than four thousand people were lost.
Although the fire was extinguished, Manhard and his soldiers could not rest.
They had to rebuild the camp and build it stronger and stronger so that the Western Qin army could not attack for the time being.
More than 10,000 people were busy till the end of the day.
After breakfast, Manhard was preparing to let the soldiers take turns to give news, but at this time, Zhao Ziliang appeared in Manhard's sight with a large number of cavalry.
"What kind of flag is that?"
Manhard pointed at Zhao Ziliang's banner and asked the general beside him loudly.
A general replied: "Your Excellency General, this is the royal flag of the King of Western Qin.
Zhao Ziliang came here personally."
When Manhard heard this, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, "Oh no, Zhao Ziliang thinks so highly of me that he personally led an army to attack me."
"Generals, it seems that we can't rest anymore.
The King of Western Qin has come in person.
I'm afraid we won't have a good time during the day today
