I'm a marquis in Datang

"Du Qi, you should die!"

Jieli was furious.

Even though he knew that Du Qi did it on purpose to provoke him, he still couldn't help but get angry.What Xieli hates the most is that he drinks blood like a hair, that he is a Turkic Khan, and that he is the most noble existence on the grassland.

Jieli breathed and said no more, he pulled out the saber from his waist with a clang, pointed the tip of the saber at the tower of Yanmen Pass, and ordered: "My sons, kill!"

Jieli's soldiers began to charge.

In today's attack, part of the cavalry under Xieli's command has become infantry.They carried the ladder and sprinted quickly.There are not many types of Turkic siege equipment, nothing more than ladders, crash cars, etc., which are the simplest siege equipment.

A dense crowd of people quickly approached the Yanmen Pass.

Du Qi stood on the tower, looking at the attacking Turkic cavalry, looking very calm.

Li Dayen looked at such a huge attack scene, and he was inevitably a little nervous. After all, Li Dayan had never won a match against Turkic, and they were all passive defenses. This was the first time that such a large-scale war started.

Li Daen said: "Erlang, you are in charge of the arrangement this time. After all, this is all arranged by you. I am a little nervous, worried that there will be a mistake in the command."

"can!"

Du Qi answered directly.

He looked at the densely packed Turkic cavalry and infantry, and when the opponent's attack distance was reduced to about a hundred steps, he ordered: "Archers, shoot the arrows!"

The messenger got the order and gave the order immediately.

The archers on the city tower had already been ready. When the order was issued, all the archers quickly drew their bows and set up arrows, and shot arrows outside the city.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Bows and arrows were shot out continuously like rain.

Like locusts passing by.

Cover the sky.

The black rain of arrows fell, and as soon as it landed among the Turkic crowd, there was the sound of bows and arrows piercing into flesh.The sound continued, so that more and more Turkic soldiers were shot dead immediately.

There are many more Turks who were wounded by bows and arrows.

Du Qi looked at the injured Turkic cavalry with a look of anticipation in the corner of his mouth.

Changsun Shunde said: "Erlang, according to your arrangement, all the arrowheads of bows and arrows have been soaked in feces, and they are also attached with poison. This will increase the lethality of bows and arrows. Tell me, how long will it take for this to happen?"

Du Qi said: "Two days at most!"

The arrows of these bows and arrows are all soaked in feces, and there are countless bacteria on the arrows.When the bow and arrow shot into the Turkic soldiers, it would be fine if the soldiers were shot immediately.But the problem is that after the body of the person who was not shot was injured, the wound would become infected because of the bacteria in the arrowhead.

Such a situation will inevitably lead to the death of countless people from infection.

This is one of Du Qi's trump cards.

This is war, there is no warmth at all, only straight-forward killing.

You don't kill me, I kill you.

Any means can be used.

Especially since this is a border county, if the Turkic attack cannot be stopped, when Jieli leads the Turkic army to break through the Yanmen pass and enter the territory of Yanmen, countless people will die tragically.

Therefore, Du Qi could only do this.

Only let the Turks die.

Du Qi watched more and more Turkic people approaching, and he glanced at the flags on the city tower to test the direction of the wind.The current wind direction is precisely the northwest wind, which is in the direction of the Turkic people.

Du Qi ordered: "Order the catapult soldiers to drop smoke bombs."

"Yes!"

The orderly went to make arrangements again.

After a while, the catapult that had been placed on the city tower was quickly loaded with smoke balls.The so-called smoke ball is actually a ball the size of a football.The inside is poisonous substances such as aconite, arsenic, sulfur, and excrement, and the outside is wet cloth strips and wormwood, but it is topped with kerosene to facilitate ignition.

Once ignited, the smoke ball will burn, because it is too wet to burn, but there is kerosene, so the burning will continue, and finally it becomes a smoke ball, billowing thick smoke.

And as the smoke ball burns, it will soon burn the grass, sulfur, etc. inside.These poisons will emit a pungent smell due to burning, and they are attached to a

Some gas.

Now the wind direction is northwest, and it just blows in the direction of the Turkic army, which is just right for use.

As the catapult slammed into motion, the ignited smoke balls were quickly thrown out one by one.

The original Turkic cavalry, braved the rain of arrows, advanced rapidly, shortening the distance from the Yanmenguan tower.But when they resisted the bow and arrow, suddenly, smoke balls with thick smoke flew in the sky.

The sound of thud thud rang out one after another, and the smoke balls fell to the ground one by one.

The smoke ball was burning, and the smoke drifted away.

The Turkic cavalry around the smoke ball, after smelling the smoke from the smoke ball, immediately felt sick, pungent, and extremely uncomfortable, so they had to run away in a hurry.

Because the range was too large, a smoke zone was formed on the way to Yanmen Pass.As far as the Turkic cavalry in this area, many people kept coughing, and the whole person was very uncomfortable.

In particular, the smog continued to spread and spread backwards, which affected countless people.

This scene fell into Xieli's eyes.

Jieli clenched his fists and was very angry. In the past, it was so difficult for him to attack Yanmen Pass.Especially the defense on the city tower, there are not so many tricks, so

It is the two sides directly competing for the city.

But now everything has changed, the siege turned out to be more obstacles, but Xieli is not a person who gives up lightly.

"Kill, kill me!"

Jieli shouted the order, and ordered: "Rush over, as long as you rush to the top of the tower, there will be no problem. Go!"

When he gave the order, he let the people around him blow the trumpet.

The sound of the whining horn resounded outside Yanmen Pass, the sound was long and long, and it was even more high-pitched, reaching the ears of Turkic soldiers.The Turkic soldiers gritted their teeth and rushed forward quickly.

Chapter 225

Hard to move

Yanmen Pass itself is a dangerous place.But outside Yanmen Pass, there is a smooth road, so the Turkic soldiers were attacked and suffered great losses.But even with bows and arrows and smoke balls, after the Turkic horn sounded, the Turkic soldiers rushed forward fearlessly.
