Tibet

Chapter 247

Time was very tight, Li Ye immediately transferred Yu Changyang's Thousand Swords Army to the north city wall.

The thousand regular soldiers guarding the three cities in the southeast, north and south were stripped out, sent to the south wall, scattered and joined in the battalions.

Xu Jian was in charge of commanding the battle on the southern city wall and commanding the Thousand Swords Team.

Finding an empty space, Arolie whispered to Li Ye: "Suolan persuaded the king to surrender Dashi last night, I told my father the story the general told me, and my father immediately arrested Solan and locked him in the dungeon of the palace. "

Li Ye nodded, no wonder he didn't see Solan, he thought Solan was faking sick again, it turned out that he was arrested by the king.

"General Li, I actually don't have confidence either, but you're right. My father and I have no way out, and the only way to survive is to fight to the death. Father has handed you the scepter, so let it go! The country, my father gave you all the wealth in the inner treasury."

Li Ye smiled and said: "Although there must be brave men under heavy rewards, I don't need it. It is the right way to reward the soldiers of the three armies with wealth!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The attack drum sounded.

The shouts outside the city were like thunder, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, and the 1 coalition troops began to run.

Li Ye patted Alorie's arm, waved to the three hundred soldiers and shouted, "Follow me!"

He took three hundred soldiers and rushed to the northern part of the city.....
Twelve thousand soldiers lined up in the wilderness two miles away, with heavy siege ladders among them. The soldiers beat the drums, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" People are thrilling.

As the distance got closer, Li Ye shouted: "General Anyi, prepare to throw fireballs!"

Anyi is a general who pulls Khan. He is standing by the inner city wall, holding the command flag for commanding the trebuchet. The yellow command flag is for throwing stones, the black command flag is for throwing stone fireballs, the red command flag is launched, and the white command flag is for throwing stones. The flag is to stop firing.

Li Ye issued his first order, but An Yi raised the yellow command flag. Li Ye watched the enemy troops running outside the city, but did not realize that An Yi did not follow his order.

At this time, Yu Changyang stepped forward and reminded Li Ye in a low voice, "Are you going to throw stones?"

Li Ye was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw An Yi holding up a yellow flag in his hand, and he said angrily, "General Anyi, I ordered you to prepare to throw fireballs!"

An Yi crossed his hands on his chest, and said arrogantly: "I obey General Li's order, but General Solan thinks that fireballs have no lethality, they are just for show. !"

Li Ye narrowed his eyes, "How dare you disobey my order?"

Anyi said uncompromisingly: "General Solan said yesterday that fireballs are not allowed. I dare not disobey his orders!"

There was complete silence around, everyone was staring at Li Ye, Li Ye laughed, "It seems that you really don't take my words seriously!"

He stepped forward a few steps, waved the long lance in his hand, and saw a flash of cold light, which was incomparably fast, "Poof!" Anyi's head flew into the air, Li Ye waved the long lance, and the tip of the lance pierced into the head with precision in the neck.

The surrounding generals exclaimed and retreated one after another.

Li Ye held up the bloody head and said sharply: "Military orders are like mountains, anyone who dares not to carry out my orders will be punished!"

An Yi opened his mouth on the tip of the lance, stared wide-eyed, and had a hideous appearance. His body was still leaning against the city wall, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and blood spurted from his headless neck. This bloody scene scared everyone broken.

Li Ye immediately ordered: "General Wukan took over the trebuchet and gave the order!"

Both Wukan and An Yi are Solan's confidantes, and Li Ye named Wukan, obviously planning to find an excuse to kill him too.

Wukan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he almost peed out of fear. He was the one who encouraged Anyi to resist the order just now. Now that he admits it, he quickly took the command flag from An Yi, raised the black flag high, and ordered the trebuchet Replace Fireball.

Li Ye shook off the head of the man on the tip of the spear, and shouted: "Take this rebel!"

Several civilian husbands hurriedly carried down the corpse and the head.

At this time, the coalition soldiers running under the city were in chaos. They stepped on the poisonous arrows on the ground and fell down one after another. Li Ye shouted: "Fireball!"

Wukan raised the red command flag, and the fireballs of eighteen trebuchets were ignited and fired at the same time. Eighteen fireballs with thick smoke rose into the air and hit the enemy's heads.

This kind of fireball is made of cloth wrapped in layers of cloth and soaked in kerosene. Each one is as big as a stone blocking the road on the road and is full of elasticity.

What Solan said was actually not wrong. This kind of fireball has no lethality. In fact, even if a boulder is used to kill hundreds of people at most, it is of little significance, but the fireball has deterrent power and will shock the soldiers. Affecting morale, especially now that the soldiers have stepped on the poisonous arrows and are terrified, the appearance of the fireball will undoubtedly become the last straw that overwhelms the camel.

Eighteen huge fireballs with billowing smoke streaked across the sky and hit the top of the enemy army. The ball hit the ground, bounced high again, and continued to rush towards the crowd. The enemy soldiers panicked. The fire and thick smoke crushed the fighting spirit of many soldiers, and countless soldiers turned around and fled.

Kun Shidu was furious, he waved his saber and shouted sharply, "Don't retreat, kill me!"

Airot quickly persuaded: "It seems that there are hidden weapons on the ground, why not go back and check the situation first, and then continue to attack before it is too late!"

Although Airot was the leader of the Sogdian Legion, he was an out-and-out general who represented the attitude of the Caliph. Kundushi dared not listen to his suggestions.

"Okay! Let's go back and take a look."

Kundushi immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops, the bell rang, and the soldiers withdrew one after another. Many soldiers fell to the ground, suffering from the onset of toxicity.

"King, there are poisonous arrows on the ground!" Several generals reported.

Kun Dushi didn't know what to do for a while, and looked back at Airot, who looked carefully and said: "It's okay if it's an arrow, but it's troublesome if it's a poisonous needle."

"Is there anything the general can do?"

Airot nodded, "Just thicken the soles of the boots, or cut two pieces of cooked cowhide and put them in the shoes, so that the arrows won't pierce through them. You can try it!"

Kundu stone cut two pieces of leather and put them in the shoes, took half of an arrow and stuck it on the ground, and let the soldiers step on it. Immediately ordered all soldiers in the army to thicken the soles of their shoes.

After tossing for a long time, it was already noon, and Kundushi ordered the army to attack again.

"Ugh-"

The horn of attack echoed in the field, low and desolate, and the army once again rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

But this time the attack on the enemy was not as murderous as it was earlier in the morning, and it was not so thrilling. The soldiers on the top of the city could not feel the pressure of the enemy, but waited for the enemy to come forward with eager hands.

Li Ye immediately ordered: "Change to boulder throwing!"

Wukan obediently raised the yellow and red flags, eighteen trebuchets exploded, and eighteen boulders flew into the air, throwing them at the top of the enemy.

A group of small black dots appeared on the top of the head, suddenly enlarged, and the huge boulder was in front of them. The soldiers screamed in fright, and ran away in all directions. There were still more than a dozen people who could not dodge. , the other seven or eight people were knocked down by the tumbling boulder and flew away, some were bloody and some had broken bones and tendons.

But the casualties of up to 200 people in each round are really nothing to the 1 soldiers, and it only slightly affects morale.

The [-] soldiers who attacked the northern section took the lead in rushing through the moat, and hung a siege ladder on the top of the city. The soldiers surged up like ants, and what greeted them were rolling logs and rocks falling down like hailstones.
