It is more than 100 miles east of Toyoshu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The main trunk of the Yellow River meets its southern tributary here, and in the summer it is a wide water, but in the cold winter it is already covered with thick ice.

For the Turkic cavalry, this thick layer of ice was their smooth way to cross the river. Although there are many disadvantages to the winter march, there is also a little advantage, that is, the complex water network of the Hetao is no longer an obstacle for the cavalry, and the river is frozen and unobstructed everywhere.

"Li Chao has entered Fengzhou City?"

"Yes, he took two thousand people into Fengzhou City to escape the wind and snow."

Yu was very happy to hear the news. After chasing all the way for so long, I finally caught up. There are only 2,000 people, where is Li Chao running now.

"Command, march at full speed."

In the face of Ashina's order, someone dissuaded him.

"Yu shoots, now the wind and snow are urgent, and the sky is about to be dark again, do you want to rest for a night before leaving."

"No, let's go now, hurry overnight, march for a night, just in time to arrive in Fengzhou at dawn, when Li Chao is sleeping Zhengxiang, we will kill him by surprise!"

The weather was very cold, and the wind was blowing non-stop, blowing on the face, like a knife scraping the face, which made people feel painful. The snow is very heavy, and it keeps going down one by one, and it is still the kind of snow particles that are sandwiched with frozen snow, and it hurts to hit people's faces. Although his body was wrapped in a leather robe, and even his face was enclosed, only his mouth and nose were exposed, but the lips of the person who were still frozen were black.

His beard was all frozen.

Each person had two horses, and they took turns to ride, and the horses were also very tired.

People are sleepy and tired.

But Yu shot and did not intend to stay.

Li Chao has arrived in Fengzhou, and he can cross the river tomorrow.

Every time he delayed, Li Chao was one step closer to the Tang army in Lingzhou, and he couldn't let Li Chao slip out of his hands.

Yu Shooter chewed hard and dry beef jerky, drank the snow water melted in the pot, and almost didn't feel any taste, just to be able to have the strength to continue running, and along the way, Yu Shotsu came over like this.

Wanting to go south with him, he persuaded him to be too risky.

But Yu Shot refused to give up, and Desire Gu She didn't want to go along, so he would come alone.

"Let's go!"

Although the knights complained a little in their hearts, no one showed it, and everyone turned over on their horses again, and continued to gallop towards Toyosu against the cold wind.

Everyone has only one thought at this point.

It is also great to rush to Fengzhou early, kill Li Chao, and then build a bonfire, boil a pot of milk tea, and stew some horse meat.

The Turks rode very well, and even if they were on the road overnight, they did not get lost.

They arrived outside the city of Toyosu before dawn.

Ten miles outside the city of Fengzhou, Yu Shushu stopped his 8,000 cavalry.

The sky was still gray, except for a hazy white reflected in the snow. Yu set up his team to take a break, eat some jerky, and drink some water. Because the water was too cold, he simply ordered the soldiers to take out some of the exhausted horses that had already run and kill them, and take the warm horse blood for the soldiers to drink.

After resting for a while, he drank the hot horse's blood, and Yu shot the front finger of the knife.

Eight thousand Turkic cavalry rushed towards the ruined city of Toyosu in Xiaoseli.

Yu She's attack plan was very simple, while Li Chao was still asleep, let his eight thousand cavalry attack Fengzhou City from all directions.

Tanma had already reported to the newspaper that after Li Chao entered Fengzhou City, he did not do anything to repair it, the city was ruined, and nothing could stop them from entering.

A city that doesn't even have a city gate can't provide protection for Li Chao.

All they had to do was rush in and kill every sleeping Don.

The silence of Toyosu Castle under the dawn was incomparably quiet, as if it was still asleep.

It's just that what the Turks didn't know was that Li Chao had long expected them to come, and even Fengzhou City was the battlefield that Li Chao had chosen a long time ago.

Li Chao did not repair the city gates, city walls of Fengzhou, because it was not necessary.

Although Fengzhou City is dilapidated, it is still very useful to Li Chao. To fight, you don't necessarily have to fight a city defense war, but you can also fight a street battle.

The streets and alleys in this Fengzhou city, as well as the houses and shops, can become a battlefield to stop the Turks. This kind of street terrain was a good place for the Turkic cavalry to restrain them.

Li Chao had only 2,000 cavalry.

But he had already occupied some of the city's important tunnels, and even simply arranged the streets and alleys, which had become full of traps and blockades.

For the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the 8,000 Turks did not let them be afraid, and the most troublesome thing for them at the moment was the extremely cold weather.

In order to deal with the Turks, they began to enter positions in the middle of the night.

The wind and snow were so strong that even if they stayed in those houses, they shivered from the cold. From time to time, they had to breathe on the hilt of their swords and guns, for fear that their hands would freeze.

When the Turks attacked, they did not blow trumpets or war drums.

But the ground was shaking.

The soldiers of the Tang Army felt the slight tremor of the ground under their feet, and their hearts were full of longing.

"After waiting for most of the night, these wolf cubs are finally here, and now they can kill them."

Wang Xuance held the bow and crossbow in his hand, and said with excitement in his eyes.

The Turkic cavalry rushed in from all directions towards Fengzhou City, and Yu Shushe also rushed behind with his own attachment, he had no intention of leaving reserves, and he did not have a second set of combat plans, his plan was only one, the whole army rushed in, cut Li Chao and his two thousand men, and then returned with Li Chao's head.

The Turkic cavalry stormed the city without gates.

War horses gallop through the empty streets.

Not a single one.

"These Tang troops must be asleep, and none of them should fight."

One of the Turkic cavalrymen who rushed to the front thought to himself, it must be like this. But the next moment, something that he would never forget happened, and he suddenly heard a string sound.

Although the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the street was loud, as a seasoned warrior, he was very sensitive to the sound of the bowstring, and he heard it immediately, it was the sound of the bowstring.

The sound of the bowstring did not come from behind, but from the other side.

From a house next to the street, to be exact?

The cold slowed his reaction a little, and he watched as the arrow shot in front of him, and just moved away a little, but still didn't dodge.

An arrow hit him in the face, and he didn't even feel any pain, but the force had already caused him to fall from his horse. The horse behind couldn't hold it and trampled directly on him.

"The Tang people have been prepared for a long time." Before the knight died, he had only one thought.

At the same time, in the houses on both sides of the street, and even on the rooftops, countless bowstrings sounded, and arrows were fired, and the Turkic cavalry was caught off guard.

The Turks immediately returned fire.

But compared to the fact that they were crowded on the streets that were not wide and were shot by the Tang army from all directions, their counterattack was much more powerless. The house was the best shield of the Don army, blocking the arrows of the vast majority of the Turks for them.

Behind the door, behind the window, on the roof, they were free to shoot arrows.

The most terrifying thing was that the Tang people threw a grenade down from time to time, like a thunderbolt, and the horses of the Turkic cavalry were frightened and turned, making their ranks even more confused.

In the center of Toyoshu Castle.

There is a bell tower there, which is the highest point in the city.

Li Chao stood on top of the bell tower, holding a telescope and observing the battle in Xiaose.

The battle is in full swing.

The Turkic 8,000 cavalry rushed into the city of Fengzhou, while the 2,000 Tang army relied on several major streets and alleys to build street and lane fortifications, and used the terrain of the streets and alleys to counterattack the Turks with bows and crossbows, grenades, etc.

The two armies were fiercely torn apart in the wind and snow.

"Xiangguo, the Turks are blocked out of the fortifications by us, and they can't rush in."

Li Chao did not repair the city gate, but let the Turks enter the city, just for the current situation. If the Turks were kept out of the city, they would be more effective in the open area outside the city. But after letting them in, the narrow streets and alleys of the city divided their ranks and restricted their attacks.

However, after letting them in, it was easier for the Tang army to kill them behind the fortifications.

The Turks had certainly never fought this kind of street fighting before, they only thought that the city defense war was to defend the city walls and gates, and once the city gates were gone, they would definitely let them cut them down.

"The Turks have learned another trick." Li Chao said with a smile.

"What's the use of learning, none of them can leave alive." Cheng Chumo told the truth, and following his teacher, he learned a lot.

"You should remember one thing, water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, don't stick to dogma, use soldiers to fight, you have to learn and use. Now, as now, who told the Turks that we had to fight them at the gates? At this time, it is more appropriate to let them in and fight. Eight thousand, let them in, and it will be no problem. ”

"Teacher, if you are Yu Shot, how to resolve this situation now?"

"If I were Yu She, there would be only one choice at the moment, retreat, immediately retreat outside the city, withdraw as quickly as I can, and don't hesitate at all. When we got to the outside of the city, we were on the outskirts of the city. ”

Li Gan shook his head on the side, "But if we don't go out of the city, then they won't have anything to do with us?" ”

"That's true."

"But in this case, if we delay for a few days, as soon as our reinforcements arrive, won't Yu Shot have no choice but to retreat?"

"Of course."

Cheng Chumo and the others couldn't help but admire Li Chaofa, no wonder they were so confident, they didn't need Su Lie's escort at all, and they didn't want Li Simo to pick them up, it turned out that the current result had already been calculated.

Attacking, Yu shot and couldn't beat it, besieged, they didn't dare to besiege it for a long time, otherwise, they would be caught by the Tang army.

However, Yu did not retreat immediately.

In the face of the Tang army's long-prepared counterattack defense, he held the arm that had been hit by an arrow, and was shouting and ordering an all-out attack.

Galloping hundreds of miles, he wasn't here to retreat.

Even if the Tang army is prepared, it is already a white-knuckle battle, could it be that 8,000 Turkic knights can't kill 2,000 Tang troops?
