Chapter 898: Rest

"Kill!" Both sides roared and shook the sky. Weapons collided with weapons, making a piercing sound, like a great ensemble of death, the air was intertwined with the smell of blood, and the inside and outside of the earthen fort had almost become a hell.

The offensive had been going on for four days, and the walls of the Tang army's earthen forts were almost smashed into a puddle of mud by the Western Turks, and even then, the Western Turks failed to completely break into the camp of the Tang army.

The Tang army also completely let go of its hands and feet, no longer hiding behind the earthen wall to fight against the Western Turks, anyway, the wall was almost collapsed, and simply formed a battle formation and confronted the Western Turks.

Hou Junji also fought out, there was nothing to say about the cavalry in the face of the Western Turks, there were all Mo knife soldiers gathered together, forming a Mo knife formation in the middle, and the wine without Mo knife used shields and spears to form a horse rejection array, which was divided on both sides of the Mo knife array, echoing left and right. In the middle of the formation are the archers and the commanding generals.

In four days, the Tang army suffered heavy casualties, losing more than 3,000 people, and now its strength is only more than 6,000. The enemy's losses were even greater, and the overthrow of the Tang army's city walls consumed the lives of more than 10,000 of their soldiers, and even if they had a numerical advantage, they did not gain much in a hard-to-earth battle with the Tang army.

The fierceness of the Tang army is definitely not a joke, especially since these soldiers are determined to die and fight to the death.

Hou Junji is also very smart, trying to narrow the defensive circle and consolidate the defense.

The enemy had the main force of horses, but he still suffered a lot when fighting against the Tang army. The Tang Army's Mo Dao array gave them a headache, but whenever soldiers and horses fell into the Mo Dao camp, they would inevitably be smashed by the Mo Dao, just like a sauce meat grinder, go in completely, and come out......

The horse rejection formation played an unexpected role on the terrain of the hillside, and the horses were not suitable for running on the mountain, so the Tang army used the terrain to set up a horse rejection formation, which greatly weakened the lethality of the Western Turkic cavalry.

The most important thing is that the Western Turks are facing a group of soldiers who are fearless of life and death, and such soldiers are the most terrifying! Because they don't care about death at all!

So the discovery of the tragedy of the Western Turks, even though they broke through the earthen wall, they ...... Still can't stand the Tang Army in a short time! On the contrary, his own casualties are becoming more and more outrageous.

If you want to kill a Tang army, you will have to pay at least three to five times the price. Such attrition made them tremble and feel a little afraid in their hearts.

Fighting is momentum, when you are afraid, you will inevitably be a little constrained and can't let go, on the battlefield, not being able to let go of your hands and feet means serious injury or death! Your enemies will not show you mercy, otherwise they will be the ones who will die!

After the battle formation entered the white heat, the Western Turks were a little panicked because of the fear in their hearts, and they were caught by the Tang army and almost bit back. On the other hand, the Tang army, with a wide opening and closing, will inevitably have a Western Turkic soldier being smashed under the knife.

The bloody and cruel picture made the Western Turks feel even more frightened, and after one thing and the other, Yu Gushe finally noticed the fear of the soldiers in front, frowned, stared at the mountain for a long time, and finally sighed, and said to the soldiers around him a little tiredly: "It's almost over, let them withdraw." ”

"Khan... This... Isn't that right? We finally broke through the earthen wall, and if we withdrew like this, I'm afraid that the morale of the army will collapse! Someone next to him persuaded.

"The morale of the army has collapsed!" Yu Gu Shi shook his head, turned to the general just now, and said: "Even if we can rely on the number of people to consume this Tang army, but the price is too high, the main force of the Tang army has not yet arrived, the war has just begun, and we have damaged too many of our men and horses for the sake of these ten thousand people...... Cannot! ”

The general's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "What does Khan mean... Retirement? ”

"Huh." Desire Gu Shi smiled lightly, squinted his eyes and asked the general just now, "If you retreat, then the army's heart will really collapse." Let the soldiers retreat for the time being, since the earthen wall of the Tang Army has been completely washed down, then they will not be able to build it for a while, and they have lost the barrier, tonight... It's not that easy! ”

The general's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the meaning of Desire Gushe, and laughed loudly. "Hahaha! Khan's plan is brilliant! Seconds! Come! Drumming! Retire! ”

At the top of the mountain, the Western Turks and the Tang army were killed. Although there is a big gap between the number of the Tang army and the Western Turks, Hou Junji is not a vegetarian, and he constantly shrinks his defense, making the defensive circle smaller and smaller.

The Western Turks, who dominated the Western Regions and didn't take the Tang Army in their eyes, only found out at this time - damn! Tang Jun is so fucking fierce!

Don't look at the Western Turks who are suffering losses now, in fact, Hou Junji in the center of the formation is not in a good mood, not only is it not happy, but it is getting heavier and heavier.

One after another, the robes around him screamed and fell to the ground, and his heart twitched fiercely.

On the one hand, it is sad for the dead soldiers, and on the other hand, it is worried about the situation that will follow.

The Western Turks still have 70,000 or 80,000 people, but they only have more than 6,000 people, how can they resist? Is it okay that the two are completely out of proportion? Even if the other party can't do anything about himself for the time being, it is a matter of time before he loses, and the other party can consume himself alive just by the number of people!

What to do? What to do? He has always been calm, but at this moment, his heart is gradually flustered.

"Knock knock!" At this moment, suddenly there was a rapid sound of drums at the foot of the mountain. Hearing the sound of drums, the offensive of the Western Turkic soldiers came to a brief halt, and then they stopped looking at the Tang army and retreated like a receding tide.

The Western Turks have withdrawn! Although he knew that the other party was only temporary, for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, many Tang army commanders breathed a sigh of relief, and many people were tired and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

The doctors accompanying the army were busy at the moment, and immediately bandaged the wounds of those wounded soldiers and treated them simply.

The soldiers sat down on the ground to rest, and some of them took out dry food and water to eat and drink, but they only took a sip, and stopped in moderation.

Because they are besieged in the mountains, they do not know how long they will last, and the food must be saved.

After resting for a while, the soldiers, at the urging of their generals, re-consolidated their fortifications.

The earth wall was washed down, and it was undoubtedly impossible to build another earth wall, all they could do was pile the collapsed earth wall into a small sandbag, so as to simply defend against the enemy's cavalry.

"General, the casualties are too heavy, we have counted them just now, we can count more than 5,000 wounded, the casualties are almost more than half, if the enemy comes one or two more attacks, I'm afraid we will ......"

Hou Junji only nodded gloomily when he heard the report.

"General, our loss is in the mountains, and the opponent's cavalry can't give the greatest advantage, otherwise it will ......."

"Okay, needless to say, there should be some leftover from Thunderbolt, roughly how much?"

The general touched his head and responded, "About a hundred thunderbolts will be saved, general, do you want it?" But our soldiers are engaged in battle with the enemy, and the thunderbolt fire is useless, and it will injure one's own people by mistake......."

Hou Junji glared at him and said angrily: "! Of course, Lao Tzu knows, let the brothers seize the time to rest, and tonight, bring a thunderbolt fire and attack the enemy's camp at night! ”
