Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 79 Turkic Siege
Outside the city, the Turkic cavalry who followed were one step too late, and when they were about two miles away from the city, the Jingyang city gate was tightly closed.

The two thousand Turkic cavalry who were in charge of the pursuit, looked at the not-so-high city wall, but they encountered difficulties for a while.

The Turks are a traditional and ancient nomadic people. Their offensive power is powerful in plains wars, but once they encounter a tough battle, the Turks are helpless.

To put it bluntly, the Turks actually only have three axes, which have remained unchanged for thousands of years. However, these three axes always beat the Central Plains Dynasty to an end. However, the fate is always the same. Once the Central Plains Dynasty is stable, After coming down, the nomads in the north were basically at their end.

Mobility and impact are the magic weapons of the northern nomads. There used to be mounted archery, but with the Tang army armed with bows and arrows, the Turks' mounted archery no longer had any advantage in front of the Tang army.

"Nujier, the cunning Tang army has entered the city, what should we do?" After the Tang army entered the city, the Turkic cavalry stopped. At this time, their advantage no longer exists, and there is no need to continue to attack. A Turkic The general asked the other general beside him.

The city wall in front of it is not high, only about two feet, about six meters in height. If it is facing the attack of the Central Plains army, there is no need to defend such a city at all, and there is no danger to defend it. Be on guard against grass bandits and the like.

But it was such a city wall that stumped thousands of Turks.

"Ashi Dewu lost all the face of the Khan. Out of [-] troops, nearly [-] were beheaded by the Tang army. Even the bastard Ashdewu was captured by the Tang army. If Ashdewu If the sip is still there, I will definitely not be so passive." Nu An'er shook his head helplessly, he was really helpless, and he also hated the bastard that Ashi Dewu didn't sip.

The vanguard mission was snatched away by Ashi Dewu, and Ashi Dewu made a lot of military exploits along the way, and his troops even gained a lot of harvest, money, supplies, and Turkic People's favorite tea, Ashi Dewu has the most gains without sipping.

However, no one expected that in a small county town near Chang'an, Ashdev would be planted unexpectedly.

The Nujier tribe is really in a dilemma at this moment. The advantage is not taken by the Astew tribe. The Nujier tribe is just a small tribe. The entire tribe has only two thousand combat soldiers. With such a scale, it can only be attached to From being around some large tribes.

"To attack the city, you must attack the city, otherwise Jieli Khan will take our troops to demonstrate." Nu An'er continued.

This time, the two khans, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, jointly attacked the southward trip, but the two Khans, big and small, were not in harmony, and they fought openly and secretly many times on the way.

Jieli Khan took the title of Great Khan and sent his subordinates to be the vanguard. If the vanguard failed, that was the vanguard's own problem. For his own face, Jieli Khan will also do something to Nujier.

Don't think that the Turkic people are so harmonious. In fact, the "Gongdou" and power struggles within the Turks were not less than those in the Tang Dynasty, but more intense.

"We don't know how many troops there are in the city. How to attack the city?" Nujier was also a little depressed. Why was such a task assigned to him?Why couldn't Mao catch up with the Tang army before?Otherwise, there would be no need for such a headache now.

"Fire attack!" Nu'an'er frowned and thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed in her heart that she was so damn smart, how could she come up with such a genius idea?

"Fire attack? Haha, it's a good idea, let's use fire attack." Nuji'er was stunned for a moment, and after trying to understand the truth, he couldn't help laughing out loud, as if he saw the ruins of Jingyang City. The appearance of dead bodies.

What the Turks want is results. Although sometimes there is a process, Nujier feels that the process of fire attack is also very exciting. Instead of blaming him, Jieli Khan will reward him.

The Turks had no way to attack the city, and the cities they had previously conquered with great effort did have some siege equipment, but those equipment would seriously slow down the Turks' speed and were inconvenient to carry, so the Turks simply did not have any siege equipment. Plan on carrying those things.

Rather than sending people to die, it would be better to set fire to all the enemies without one person dying. Wouldn't this result be disappointing?

When Jieli Khan was bragging to Tuli Khan, he could happily pat his chest and abdomen and say, look at how damn clever my men are, can you do it?If not, be honest and don't always think about my position as the Great Khan. This position is not for you.

The order was passed on, and the Turkic cavalry quickly prepared rockets. For the Turks, rockets were as much as they needed, and there was no need to worry about inventory issues.

Of course, the same is true for Tang Jun. The production of rockets is actually very simple. You can make it as a miniature version of the torch. In ancient times, torches were very common. Usually a torch needs materials, dozens of rockets can be made.

The rag is soaked in tung oil and fixed directly on the arrow with a rope, and a rocket is completed.

……

"Lieutenant, the Turks are planning to attack the city with rockets." On the top of the city, Su Lie had already noticed what the Turks were doing. When they first started making rockets, they basically guessed the Turks' intentions.

But it was just a guess. Su Lie had no way to stop this matter.

"Zhang San, lead people to the city wall." Qin Chao hurriedly ordered to Zhang San.

Fire attack, this is the most feared attack method in the city. There are flammable materials everywhere in the city. The houses are made of wood. Although there are rammed earth walls, there are still not as many as wood. If a house catches fire, it can easily set the entire city ablaze.

It would be fine if there was no one in the city, but now there are people everywhere in the city, and if there is a fire, a lot of people will be killed or injured.

Qin Chao glanced at Liu Shunshi, who was still excited, and wished he could step forward and kick the old guy to the ground. How long had he been talking about this?You don't want to do anything serious and still want to show off?Don’t you see that I don’t have time to show off now?

"Magistrate Liu, the enemy is planning to attack Jingyang with fire. The magistrate Liu is well aware of the situation in the city now, and the subordinate officials will not say more. In a safe zone, at the same time organize people to prepare for firefighting. The officials will go up to the city wall to direct the battle, and the affairs of the city will be handed over to the county magistrate Liu!" After speaking, Qin Chao walked towards the city wall without looking back, looking very Pretend to be aggressive, and don't give Liu Shunshi, the county magistrate, any face at all.

　Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for various kinds, ask for tricks, what?Not yet?Anyway, save face and don't embarrass me too much, okay?
