Chapter 783: Don't even think about running away

"Xiangguo, change my women's army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Xiuning said as he looked at the soldiers who were almost collapsed at the head of the city. Li Chao shook his head, "It's not time yet, the Turks have really made up their minds this time, the Women's Army is a reserve, and it has to be used at the most critical time." ”

"Xiangguo, but the brothers are too tired, so why don't you send a beacon smoke to summon ambush soldiers." Su Dingfang also felt that the current situation was a little critical. In the face of the lifeless attack of 90,000 Turks, even if there is a strong pass to rely on, it is still in danger.

"It's too early, at least we'll have to hold on until dark."

It's not that Li Chao is cruel, but although it is dangerous at the moment, it is too wasteful to ambush the soldiers too early. As soon as the ambush came out, the Turks would inevitably retreat and break out of the valley, and if the Turks were still energetic, it would not be easy to stop them.

There is no fortress to rely on, and if you fight them in the valley, the casualties will definitely be higher.

Li Chao has to consider the overall situation.

"Just hold on a little longer and wait until it's dark."

At the sound of the horn, the Turks, after a short period of adjustment, rushed forward again, this time more violently.

Tuli looked at the city with a grim face, full of determination.

"Before it gets dark, you must take the castle."

Liu Renliang had already cut the blade three times, and in the end, he simply took out the Mo knife, holding the knife with both hands, the long blade flashed with white light, and with a swing of the knife, there was always a Turk who fell.

But more and more Turks still jumped on the city.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Liu Renliang took a step back and shouted, "Throw a grenade!" ”

Take a grenade from the grenade pouch around your waist, open the lid, light it, and throw it out.

Seeing the Tang army retreating, the Turks were excited, they quickly occupied the battlements, and received more people to go up to the city, at this moment, suddenly one by one smoking pimples rolled to their feet.

Some people reacted quickly and immediately thought of explosives, which were also smoking and making a loud noise.

couldn't help but change his face greatly, but before he could run away, the grenade had exploded.

The explosions on the top of the city came one after another, although the power of the grenade was far less powerful than that of twenty pounds of explosives, but the explosion under my feet was also quite terrifying. Especially for many Turkic people who have already smelled the dynamite and changed color.

Many people panicked, and some even jumped directly down the city in panic.

Smoke was everywhere.

Liu Renliang took two breaths, lifted the Mo knife, and shouted, "Kill!" Wielding his sword and killing back, a group of government soldiers formed a battle squad with each other, relying on each other, and soon cleaned up the panicked Turks again.

But before he could catch his breath, another Turk jumped up on a ladder.

Li Chao sat on the city gate tower, with a sheathed sword on his knees, and he held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, keeping an eye on all corners of the battlefield.

The battle was extremely fierce, people fell everywhere, and real blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled up.

He looked up at the sky, it was still early.

Time seems to pass more and more slowly, standing still.

On the Guancheng, the defenders are getting more and more tired, but under the Guancheng, the Turks still have countless phalanxes waiting there, and those are still fresh troops.

Whenever a group of Turks failed to attack, and the follow-up was weak, the Turks would send another new force. Li Chao has no way to play this kind of hooligan and scoundrel play, who calls the Turks more powerful.

However, this kind of play, in fact, Li Chao also likes it, they attack like this, it is completely with human lives, although it looks like it can be captured immediately, but from morning to now, the Tang army has been holding on like this, and the Turkic casualties are several times that of the Tang army.

Li Chao judged that by the time of the battle, the Turks had suffered at least more than 5,000 casualties.

"Put a beacon smoke signal, let Shan Xiongxin and Wei Chigong block the north entrance and build fortifications." Li Chao finally had to let Shan Xiongxin and them go out in advance. It was not dark yet, and it was very likely that Tuli would find out and retreat in advance, but Li Chao did not dare to continue to wait.

Su Lie nodded, "Do you want to ask General Luo Shixin to attack?" ”

After a moment of silence, Li Chao still shook his head.

"Let them wait a little longer, give Shan Xiongxin more time to them, and now they are ambushed, and Tuli may have to run. I'm worried that Shan Xiongxin can't stop them, give them some time, let them build up their defenses, and we have a better chance of trapping all the Turks in this valley. ”

Lou Fu Guan, on Huagai Mountain, wolf smoke was lit in the Feng Castle, which was a signal to Shan Xiongxin at the north entrance. The wolf smoke transmission is more reliable and fast, and several beacon towers have lit the wolf smoke one after another to transmit the signal.

Near the North Exit.

The wolf smoke rose, and Shan Xiongxin finally jumped up when he saw this long-awaited signal.

"Damn, it's finally signaling. The whole army got on the horse and returned to the north exit! ”

After seeing the signal, Wei Chigong immediately led 10,000 people from his headquarters to quickly return to Beikou.

Luo Shixin bit a straw stick, and was excited when he saw the signal, but when his subordinates said that it was just a signal to Shan Xiongxin and Wei Chigong, he was angry. "Why don't you let us go, I'm impatient to wait."

"Sangkook has sent us a signal, let's wait a little longer and attack after dark!"

"Wait until it gets dark? Isn't it the same now? ”

"This is Xiangye's order."

Luo Shixin was helpless, "Okay, then wait until it gets dark, as soon as it gets dark, we will attack, and now, all prepare me for battle." ”

The wolf smoke rose on the canopy mountain, and Tuli under the gate also saw it.

"Hmph, don't you think it's too late to send a smoke for help at this time? Li Jing is still in Mayi, Li Ji is still in Youzhou, and Li Chao is even far away in Shuofang, waiting for them to come to help, Lao Tzu has already slaughtered Lou Fuguan several times, and even entered Taiyuan City. Hahaha, herald, step up the attack! ”

Twilight.

There are Turks everywhere on the Loufu Pass, and from a distance, it seems that the Turks have flooded the walls of the Loufu Pass.

"Sanniang, let your women's army go!"

In the city, it has reached the most critical time, and the time is almost up, and Li Chao will no longer hide anything.

"Order, stone-throwing trucks, mine-throwing vehicles, and ballista trucks will attack with all their might, and give me a hard beat."

Both Su Lie and Li Xiuning personally went to the front line to command.

Li Chao also stood up, put down the binoculars and sword, and walked to the big drum of the city tower, he took the drumstick from the hands of the drum soldiers, and beat it violently.

Knock knock knock!

The drums of war sounded.

The Tang Army's counterattack also became fierce, and the mine-throwing vehicle, which had only fired two rounds in a whole day, was launched again.

North Exit.

Wei Chigong and Shan Xiongxin arrived almost at the same time with their troops, and there were 1,000 Turkic soldiers stationed at Beikou Fort. Seeing the Tang army suddenly coming from the north, I thought it was Li Jing who led his troops to come.

"Quick, go and report to the Khan, Li Jing is here."

"So many people, at least 20,000."

"That is, Li Jing came with Ma Yi and the Tang army of Yanmen."

Wei Chigong listened to the rapid horn sound on the North Fort, and pouted disdainfully, the North Fort was already small, and they still left something under the fort.

"Kill!"

In less than half an hour, a huge muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the North Fort, smoke rose up, and a huge gap appeared in the wall of the North Fort.

The Tang army planted many coffin explosives under the city wall in advance, and the power of the explosion directly opened the Beibao city wall.

Without the city walls to rely on, the 1,000 Turkic defenders were soon submerged under the iron hooves of the 20,000 Tang army.

Shaking off the blood stains on the horse lance, Wei Chigong shouted: "Clean up the battlefield, build fortifications here immediately, a Turk doesn't want to run away from us!" ”

"Yes!"
