Chapter 165 surprise attack on Chang'an(2/2)
"The heart is like iron and stone, indestructible!"
The Tang army general Qi Zhu Heli had a tough will, which affected the Tang army. The Tang army soldiers were tenacious and unyielding, defended the city walls to retreat from the Xia army's offensive round after round.
Qibing Heli fought against Zhou Tai even though he was injured, and he would not end up. In addition, the large number of Tang army soldiers finally defeated Zhou Tai.
Over the Phoenix Town, stones, rockets, and crossbows flew violently, screaming from below, and soldiers were killed in battle every moment.
Huang Zhong's fire bow and riding bows leads the bow and arrows, and the true energy makes the bow and arrow burn, throwing out fire arrows, burning the wooden arrow towers and houses in Phoenix Town.
Fires broke through the sky and fell into Phoenix Town. Some wooden buildings were ignited by fire arrows and burned wildly.
The Tang army had to defend while using water to extinguish the fire in the city.
In order to prevent the wooden arrow tower from being burned, the Tang army also kept the arrow tower moist.
The Tang army threw out the flying hook and hooked the ladder truck. Dozens of Tang soldiers pulled it aside, causing the ladder truck to tilt and fall down with a bang. Many Xia soldiers fell to death.
"The Xia army's siege tower is approaching!"
"Prepare to fight!"
The Tang army watched in horror as the giant siege tower approached slowly. The siege tower cast a shadow on the city wall. The archers on the siege tower had already shot arrows, and the bows and arrows fell on the Tang army's head.
boom!
The heavy suspension bridge fell, and more than a dozen tiger soldiers and a team of heavily armored infantry rushed out of the siege tower and fought fiercely with the defenders on the city wall.
Xia Junyi attached himself to the city wall, climbed the city along the ladder cart or giant crossbow arrows inserted on the city wall, constantly putting pressure on the Tang army.
There are 60,000 Tang troops in Fenghuang Town, with sufficient water and food and grass, which can be said to be as solid as a soup.
The Xia army launched a tide-like offensive, but Phoenix Town remained unmoved.
However, the Tang army's choice to defend Fenghuang Town also means being passively beaten.
More and more Tang troops were injured, and the supply of herbs in Fenghuang Town was also in tension.
In addition, the fierce battles have rapidly increased the consumption of bows and arrows in the Tang army, and the generals of the Tang army are already thinking about how to save bows and arrows.
In Chang'an Town, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received many urgent letters from the Tang army in Fenghuang Town, and the defenders requested to obtain more supplies such as bows and arrows and herbs.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was in a state of turmoil and ordered all bows and crossbow workshops in the territory to make bows and arrows, collect herbs, and then ordered the military generals to escort to Fenghuang Town to supply supplies to the Tang army trapped in Fenghuang Town.
Yao Chong, the prime minister of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, could not sleep at night and maintained the operation of his territory all the time.
This battle was related to the survival of the Qinchuan Tang Dynasty. Yao Chong exploited almost all the war potential in the territory to barely maintain operation.
Ten thousand Tang troops, sixty thousand garrisoned Fenghuang Town, three thousand garrisoned Chang'an Town, and ten thousand garrisoned other towns.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also had to send 10,000 Tang troops to transport supplies for Fenghuang Town, so there were only 20,000 defenders in Chang'an Town.
At this time, Deng Ai and six other military generals had bypassed Fenghuang Town and approached Chang'an Town from the north.
"Stay on the spot, regain your energy, force yourself overnight, attack Chang'an at night!"
