Chapter 276 Chai Shao’s soldiers attacked the city in two groups
That night, Ashinatur repeated his old trick and sent Turkic cavalry out of the city to attack a thousand Zhongzhou naval cavalry!
However, the Turkic cavalry who attacked the Zhongzhou Navy were defeated by the Iron Buddha led by Liu Rengui.

The Turkic cavalry never returned this time and were wiped out.

At this point, Ashinatur finally died down, and no longer sent dead soldiers out of the city to attack Yuchihuan and the Zhongzhou Navy.

The Turkic chief who went out of the city to attack the Tang army's camp also returned to Ashina Tur king's tent to discuss tomorrow's war in dejection.

"This king miscalculated this time, the Tang army is stronger than our Turkic cavalry!"

Ever since Ashnatur sent the Turkic cavalry to intercept the forward of the Tang army, he found that he had underestimated the combat power of the Tang army's cavalry!
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were not only skilled with bows and horses, but also had battle formations.

This is much stronger than the nomadic tribal cavalry swarming up.

"Your Highness, why don't we break through and leave Binhe City before the west gate is blocked by the Tang army!"

A chief of the Turkic Tiele tribe begged Ashinatul to take the opportunity to escape.

"If the king wanted to run away, he would have already run away!"

Ashnatur said helplessly: "The king ordered that no one should discuss the topic of escape in the future, otherwise they will be beheaded for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army!"

"The last will obey!"

The Turkic chiefs in the Turkic king's tent took orders to leave one after another.

Soon, [-] Turkic cavalry in Binhe City were preparing for battle overnight.

The city walls of Binhe City are all earthen walls, and the weak places were reinforced overnight.

Chai Shao despised Ashnatur's behavior of cramping his feet temporarily.

Binhe City was originally a surrendered city where nomadic tribes lived, so the layout of the city walls inside was different from that of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, there are many deserts and grasslands here, stones are hard to find, and the foundation for building the city is also very shallow!

Even if the Turks strengthen the walls of Riverside City, it will not help.

After Chai Shao made arrangements for tomorrow's battle, he returned to his camp and went to bed.

Yuchihuan still lives in the warm and comfortable cabin of the Wuya boat today.

……

Early the next morning, Yu Chihuan was awakened by the thunderous drums!
The drum beat was still slow at first, and within ten breaths, the war drum began to beat rapidly, and the sound shook for ten miles.

The wild wolves and beasts near Riverside City fled when they heard the sound of war drums.

When Yu Chihuan finished changing and walked out of the cabin, Xue Rengui had already led twenty generals to stand on the deck and wait for battle.

"Little Commander Yuchi, General Chai is preparing to concentrate his army to attack Binhe City!"

When Xue Rengui saw Yu Chihuan coming out, he immediately stepped forward to report the military situation.

"I see!"

Yu Chihuan said in a calm manner: "It won't be too late to join Chai Shao after we have breakfast!"

"Follow your orders!"

Xue Rengui is Yuchihuan's personal soldier, so he will follow wherever Yuchihuan goes.

The Zhongzhou Navy is a soldier of the imperial court, and they must be under the control of Chai Shao, the chief of the Hedong Road March.

As for the family general brought by Yuchihuan, it was a private part and was not assigned by the court.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, every family has a trilogy!
Even if Li Er wanted to abolish the trilogy system, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky.

After eating and drinking enough, Yuchihuan stepped off the Wuya boat leisurely and headed for Dianjiangtai.

Chai Shao invited Yuchihuan to take a seat.

"Little Commander Yuchi, this time, this general is planning to use [-] soldiers to attack the east gate of Binhe City, while the other troops storm the west gate. What do you think?"

Chai Shao then turned around and asked Yuchihuan for his opinion on the siege.

Yu Chihuan nodded and said, "Chai Shao, I will support you unconditionally in attacking Binhe City no matter what you want!"

Chai Shaosong said in a low voice, "In order to stop the Turkic deserters, the heavy cavalry of the Zhongzhou Navy will be patrolling outside the city today!"

"no problem!"

Yu Chihuan said confidently: "The main Turkic cavalry dare to leave Binhe City, then they are the prey of the Zhongzhou navy!"

"Little Governor Yuchi, with your words, this old man will feel at ease!"

Chai Shao smiled openly, picked up the badge, and began to dispatch troops.

In a moment, [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rushed to the east gate of Binhe City with their siege vehicles and ladders on their shoulders!

And the other [-] Tang soldiers and horses moved quietly to the west gate.

Rumble!
Liu Rengui led the Tiefutu of the Zhongzhou Navy to patrol outside Binhe City to prevent the Turkic cavalry from escaping.

In less than half an hour, the [-] Tang troops lined up on the outskirts of Binhe City within a stone's throw.

Among them, the siege engine that attacked Binhe City was pushed ahead!
There are shield soldiers and pikemen behind the siege engine, and they are responsible for protecting the wrestlers who push the siege engine.

There were infantrymen holding the ladder next to them, and they were surrounded by shield soldiers.

At the critical moment, these shield soldiers will step on the ladder to storm the city wall of Binhe City!
Behind the ladder are thousands of crossbowmen, who are snipers against the defenders of the city wall.

Ten thousand troops attacked the east gate of Binhe City, and immediately frightened the Turkic cavalry in the city.

Ashnatur dispatched troops in a panic to strengthen the defense of the east gate.

It's a pity that there are only [-] Turkic cavalry in Binhe City.

Ashnatur was short of troops, so he had to send a thousand soldiers to support the east and west gates.

"The first person to reach the city gate will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

Chai Shao didn't order the army to attack the city until all the soldiers and horses were in formation.

Following Chai Shao's order, ten thousand Tang troops rushed forward and swept towards the east gate of Binhe City.

The five siege engines rolled towards the east gate under the push of the Hercules.

Since the moat here in Binhe City has been abolished, the siege vehicles easily crossed the moat and arrived fifty steps away from the east gate!
"Fire arrows!"

The Turkic guard stationed in Binhe City saw Tang Jun stepping into the range of the bow and arrow, and immediately ordered the archers to attack the rushing Tang Jun!

In a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of feathered arrows fell from the sky and landed directly on top of Tang Jun's head!

The violent sun in the sky was instantly blocked by the rain of arrows!
The shield soldiers of the Tang army had been prepared for a long time, and they immediately raised their iron-clad shields to form a tortoise shell formation, protecting the warriors in the siege vehicle tightly.

In a moment, tens of thousands of feathered arrows landed on the Tang army's formation in unison, and the sound of the arrows hitting the armor and shield suddenly sounded.

The Tang army protected by shields is basically safe and sound!

But those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were carrying ladders were not so lucky. They were instantly shot by feathered arrows at vital parts such as the neck and face that were not protected by armor!
These armored soldiers who were shot by the feather arrows fell to the ground one after another, their life and death uncertain.

The Turkic archers killed dozens of Tang troops after a round of arrow rain, but the Tang troops still rushed towards the city wall of Binhe City without fear.

Next, thousands of crossbowmen of the Tang army also began to fight back, attacking the Turkic archers stationed at the east gate!
The archers on both sides fought back and forth.

But in the end, the shooting ended with the death of the Turkic archer!

Tang soldiers wear iron armor, which is enough to resist ordinary feather arrows!
But the Turkic cavalry only had cloth armor and leather armor, which was like nothing in front of the god arm crossbow!

Therefore, those Turkic archers at the Dongcheng Gate who were targeted by the crossbowmen of the Tang Army were basically doomed!
