wooden board lining造句

• The narrative of the siege in al-Tabari, evidently drawing from eyewitness accounts, continues with isolated episodes : the determined Turgesh assault on the gate, with five of them managing to climb the wall before being repelled, the Soghdian prince of al-Taraband who with his companions assaulted a breach in the wall which led into a house only to be killed by the house's elderly and sick owner and his family, how the Arabs used the wooden boards lining the irrigation ditches to improve their earthworks, or the time when the " khagan ", coming to inspect the Arab fortifications, received an arrow-shot in the face but was saved by his helmet's nose-guard.
