Turbulent Times Chapter 1384: The Turkic new style of play
(I'm very, very sorry, it's been broken for four days.)
Feng Zhongming finally had the courage to try his best to bite the Turkic soldier.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhongming roared hoarsely, exhausted his last bit of strength, and stood up with great difficulty.
But the moment he staggered to his feet and looked at the Turkic soldier viciously, an arrow flew from the city wall and shot into his right eye, and he let out a scream and fell to his seat On the ground, and then stepped on by the people behind.
When the first person stepped on him, there would be a second person. When the seventeenth person stepped on him, his body stopped twisting, and his hoarse screams stopped.
Feng Zhongming died forever.
Every clan, every country, faced with the invasion of foreign enemies since ancient times, there must be a cowardly, pitiful and pathetic person like Feng Zhongming as well as an invincible hero like Wang Junlin.
Around Feng Zhongming's body, countless people were screaming, running, and shouting. Turkic soldiers drove the captives of the common people of the Sui Dynasty, shot bows and arrows, and carried ladders, rushing towards the four-foot-high wall of Yanmen City. .........
For the Turkic army will inevitably force the captured civilians to attack the city as a cover, Sui Emperor Yang Guang in Yanmen City and his subordinates such as Pei Shiju, Dugu Changsu, Yu Shiji and other courtiers did not think of it, but they never considered this matter. What a burden.
In their view, these untouchables did not take the initiative to come to Yanmen City to rescue them, but surrendered to the Turks.
So the people who were forcibly driven by the Turks were like livestock. All the people who came forcibly drove them died. A small number were killed by the Turks who were responsible for driving them away. dead
Shibi Khan and all the Turkic people obviously did not expect that the people of the Sui Dynasty who were driven here did not play any role, and it seemed to arouse the desperate heart of many Sui soldiers on the head of Yanmen City , so in the end they still failed to attack the city, leaving behind thousands of corpses and retreating.

In addition to sending 10,000 people to attack Wangjiabao
In addition, Shibi Khan forced his troops to continue to attack Yanmen City, but because the morale of the Turkic soldiers became low, the leaders of various tribes had more and more opinions on Shibi Khan, so Shibi Khan slightly changed the strategy of attack.
For most of the time, the Turkic army was no longer obsessed with breaking the city, but was obsessed with killing people with catapults and throwing bows and arrows.
On the first day when the strategy was changed, Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Shiju and others discovered that the casualties of the Sui army defending the city began to increase. Lu Qin Wang's reinforcements did not show up, so Yang Guang's face became more and more gloomy, and naturally various thoughts arose in his heart.
Dugu Changsu even secretly talked to Yang Guang a lot of gossip, mentioning that Wang Junlin wanted to use the Turkic people to kill the emperor, but in order to silence the people of the world, he led the army to serve the king, just for show That's all.

The Turkic army found it difficult to break through the city in a short period of time. They could only break through the city when they took advantage of the number of defenders and killed a large number of defenders.
Therefore, there have been some changes in the way the Turkic army continued to attack Yanmen City.
They no longer use saturated large-scale attacks, but mainly feint attacks and flexible skirmish charges.
Large areas of charges continued to appear around Yanmen City, and then retreated quickly. What really caused damage was the large-scale thrown arrows, including the incoming rockets.
The defenders in the city had already made preparations for fire prevention, but in such an environment, once they were shot by a rocket, most people would quickly lose their combat power due to arrow wounds and burns.
Of course, such bows and arrows do not have a high casualty rate between the two sides. The Turks have also shown their combat acumen. In this day, they only launched a real attack on a few non-critical points in Yanmen City, and then they all retreated completely. Both sides are testing each other's nerves and resilience.
"Damn Turkic dogs, let them run here and there, let's wait for work at leisure, and see who can consume more!" Yanmen
On the top of the city, Yuwen Chengdu ran among the occasional arrows, cheering up the defenders on the city wall: "However, no one can take it lightly. Among them are always carrying ladders, and they may attack violently at any time. So we have to be ready to fight them hard at any time!"
In the middle of the night, although the casualties caused by the shooting were not as high as when the Turks stormed the city, under such circumstances, everyone maintained a sense of tension, and the accumulated mental pressure among the defenders in Yanmen City Generally not small.
In the middle of the night, when the defenders were most sleepy, the Turkic army launched a frontal attack like a tide. After several rounds of shooting arrows that were the same as before, suddenly, the roar of shouts of killing came all over the mountains and plains!
Under the gray sky, in an instant, 50,000 Turkic troops rushed out of their camp, carrying wooden ladders and holding shields, rushing madly towards Yanmen City. On the front of the city wall, several carts decorated with thick shields were pushed by soldiers and rolled towards the direction of the city gate.
The sound of shouting and killing resounded across the field, the rain of arrows was flying all over the sky, and the eight-ox crossbow never stopped.
Sounds roared, and around Yanmen City, the sound of human voices ignited the entire night.
The fire arrows flying back and forth are like fireflies flying in the night sky, illuminating people's vision one after another. A large number of Turkic soldiers rushed across the ground holding their shields, and some of them carried ladders. In the sparse poplar forest behind them, the flames ignited. return to. At this time, you will see a large number of light spots like migratory locusts falling towards the wall of Yanmen City.
The covering blows fell on the high points of the city wall one after another, and too many fire arrows fell on the city wall, and the defensive objects such as rolling logs and the clothes of the soldiers even burned on it.
Turkic soldiers ran outside the wall holding their shields, and only launched a sudden attack at a few specific points. The ladder was put up, and the crowd swarmed up. Inside Yanmen City, the defending soldiers splashed out with hot fuel, and then a rocket could instantly ignite a big fire. There were not many, but the ignited firemen caused a lot of panic in the Turkic army.
