Chapter 174: Attack from three sides
Zhao Ziliang led the army to advance to the middle of the city, and killed the defeated soldiers under Moduo, these routs did not have the command of Modo, and the army had already lost their hearts, and the team of 5,000 people was killed and captured more than 3,000 people, and more than 1,000 people were left to flee to the alleys in the city, and some even wanted to hide in the homes of the residents in the city, but the residents in the city were worried about the rising heat, of course they would not open the door for them, and these routs could only flee everywhere in the alleys in the city, and then were chased and killed by the cavalry under Zhao Ziliang.
The whole team quickly advanced to the middle of the city, but the defeated soldiers were quickly killed, and the others fled to the east or south, but soon encountered the Tang army led by Asiran and Gao Xianzhi, and the defeated soldiers were once again driven around.
There were 5,000 soldiers and horses of Erwei Khan in the middle of Hengros City, and when Zhao Ziliang's soldiers and horses were slaughtered in the military camp of Moduo, Erwei Khan quickly got the news that the Tang army had entered the city.
At the beginning, Erwei Khan was really startled, the Tang army arrived in Hengros City without warning, and quietly entered the city, how could this not make him frightened? However, from the west of the city, the shouts of killing and the commotion, Erwei Khan and his subordinates quickly concluded that Zhao Ziliang did not have many soldiers and horses, and the reason why Moduo was killed and lost his armor, and the collapse of the whole army was due to the loss of being raided, and any army would not be able to resist it in such a sneak attack.
So Erwei Khan immediately counted his soldiers and horses and rushed to the west of the city, preparing to help Moduo deal with Zhao Ziliang's soldiers and horses, although he and Moduo couldn't pee in the same pot at all, but he had to do so. But he soon got the news that the south and east of the city were also attacked at the same time, and a large number of Tang troops rushed into the city, which made him extremely flustered, and also made his generals and soldiers very frightened.
Hengros City was not large, and before Erwei Khan even had time to deploy countermeasures, Gao Xianzhi and Asirot led the Tang army to break through the south gate and the east gate respectively, and killed Erwei Khan's flank and back.
The situation was very unfavorable for Erwei Khan. The attack on his back and left side at the same time forced him to lead the army to stop and counterattack Gao Xianzhi and Asiran respectively, but he did not expect his army to be defeated so quickly, and under the unfavorable situation of the city's destruction, the generals and soldiers of Erwei Khan had no intention of fighting at all, and just wanted to flee quickly.
"Resist, resist Ben Khan!" Erwei Khan rode on horseback and watched his soldiers rout in great confusion and disarray, and cried out anxiously from the east and inevitably from two directions.
A bloodied and seriously wounded general rode over and said to Erwei Khan: "Khan, our army has suddenly been attacked from both sides. The sons and daughters are panicked, the army is discouraged, and the morale is low, they are not the opponents of the Tang army at all, so let's quickly find a way to escape, the Han people have a saying that 'stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood', if we continue to stay here, we can only be killed by the Tang army, it's not worth it, Khan! ”
Erwei Khan was furious: "Bastard. Don't you know that the Tang Army simply didn't have many troops? They just bluff again, as long as our door withstands the first wave of the Tang army's attack, the Tang army's attack momentum will be exhausted, and then we can counterattack! ”
"Khan. This is not a matter of the Tang army's large number of soldiers, we were attacked on three sides at the same time, the situation was too unfavorable for us, and the sons and daughters were in chaos. There is simply no way to make them fight with the Tang army, and if we delay any longer, we will all be overwhelmed by the rout・・・・・・ here."
"Kill・・・・・・" just as Erwei Khan was about to speak again. Suddenly, there was a large number of shouts of killing from behind, that is, from the west.
Erwei Khan was immediately frightened, he knew that this was the Tang army, which was still attacking the Modo military camp just now, had finished cleaning up Modo and was now attacking his back.
"Run, the Tang army is killing from behind again・・・・・・" A turkey soldier shouted in horror, completely ignoring whether it would cause panic.
This voice quickly spread among the others, and many began to flee from the ranks despite the constraints of the Centurion and the Centurion, and this act of escape swept through most of the soldiers under the command of Erwei Khan at great speed.
"Come back, give me back・・・・・・" Erwei Khan scolded angrily as he saw his men, whether they were small soldiers, ten-commanders, centurions, or even thousand-commanders, all of whom left him, the khan, and fled to the north.
Now that they are being attacked on three sides, it is strange that these turquoise soldiers do not flee, as the saying goes, 'the people are in turmoil, and the team is not easy to lead', which is the case.
The whole city was in chaos, and all the turphoric soldiers under Erwei Khan had lost all their courage, and their morale had dropped to the bottom, and now there was no possibility of organizing men and horses to resist the attack of the Tang army, and many of the guards around Erwei Khan were swept away by the rout.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer guards around him, a commander immediately shouted: "Khan, now that the Tang army is attacking from three sides at the same time, we have been defeated like a mountain, and we have no power to return to the sky, let's escape from the city first and then think of other ways, it will be too late to hesitate!" ”
Although Erwei Khan was very unwilling, he also knew that there was no way to redeem the defeat at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and shout: "Retreat, withdraw out of the city!" ”
As soon as Erwei Khan's side retreated, the other turkish rout soldiers were even more frightened, and rushed to flee in the direction of the north gate, because there were too many people fleeing, the streets were only so wide, and many people did not run in time and were pushed down and squeezed down by the people behind and on their sides, and countless people were trampled and trampled to death.
At this time, the ugliness of human nature is released to the greatest extent, and the phrase "people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves" is vividly interpreted, in order to escape, the turks pushed each other, and finally developed to kill each other, because only by killing the reports around them and in front of them, they have a way to escape, and if they don't kill the people in front of them, how can they escape?
So, the turkish rout soldiers began to kill each other, from the middle of the city to the north gate of this mile and a half of the street is full of comrades fighting each other, there are only so many chances of survival, only those who kill the people around them have the opportunity to escape, this is the road that all the rout soldiers understand, otherwise they can only be killed by the Tang army chasing behind them.
After some fighting, Zhao Ziliang, whose helmet, armor, and even battle robe were stained with blood, finally led the team to join Gao Xianzhi and Ah Sirotan in the central area of the city.
Zhao Ziliang arched his hand and asked, "King Asirot, General Gao, how is the situation?" ”
Gao Xianzhi also saluted: "General Zhao's subordinates are very elite, they easily solved the sentry post at the south gate and opened the city gate, Gao's side was unusually smooth, the loss of troops was not large, and they also killed a lot of Erwei Khan's rout."
Ah Siran looked excited and said happily: "The same is true of this king's side, Erwei Khan's soldiers and horses learned that our army raided into the city, and they lost their morale on the spot, and they collapsed as soon as they engaged our army, and our army chased and killed all the way, killing corpses all over the field, and blood flowed like a river, hahaha, this king has never fought such a happy battle, and it was so cool to kill!" ”
Zhao Ziliang wiped the blood on his face and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, we will continue to chase and kill Erwei Khan outside the north gate, and then carry out the inventory and collection of prisoners and trophies, how about it?" ”
Gao Xianzhi nodded and said, "Good! At this time, it is most important to continue the pursuit and maintain the pursuit posture against the rout of Erwei Khan, and we must not give him time to regroup, otherwise we will be in great trouble."
Ah Siran laughed and said: "Anyway, we have said in advance, all the captives will belong to this king, as for the rest, this king does not want anything, and this matter is not in a hurry, so continue to hunt down and kill Erwei Khan."
Asiran was very happy on the surface, but in fact he was quite emotional in his heart, he had always been in awe of the Turgish, especially to the Sulu Khan, who was a figure he admired and feared, a real steppe hero, not only did not fear the Tang Dynasty, but also made the great food country in the west dare not go east. He had also been canonized as Dagan by the Sulu Khan, so people throughout the country of Bakhana and even in other countries called him Asira Dagan instead of King Asirana. But with the death of Sulu Khan, the Turgish has come to an end, the two sons are not successful, the eldest son Tuhuo Immortal Khan's 50,000 elite army was wiped out under the Broken Leaf City, and he has not been captured alive, and the second son Erweitler is even more unbearable, and he is still at a loss when he is sneak attacked, which cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.
As the three Tang armies advanced together in the direction of the north gate, the turk soldiers could only flee in the direction of the north gate with more fear and faster speed, the streets and alleys were full of routs, and the passage to the north gate was blocked for a time, but it was soon opened up by the routs in a cannibalistic way, and the Tang army didn't even have to do anything, just pressed tightly behind the routs, so that the routs could lie down with corpses and blood on the entire streets and alleys.
The three of them rode side by side in the direction of the north gate unhurriedly, and the generals and soldiers under their command advanced quickly with neat steps.
Gao Xianzhi turned his head and asked Zhao Ziliang: "Zhao Ziliang, is this speed too fast, Gao is worried that if our army is forced too hard and too tight, it will make the turks turn around and counterattack!" ”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "This speed is not fast, just right, the turks have enough time to kill each other to open the escape channel, if we slow down again, they will slow down, and the last rout must be killed, otherwise the rout in front will have no pressure, only give them enough pressure, but it does not make them desperate, the rout will continue forever, what do you say, General Gao, King Asirot?" ”
Gao Xianzhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Not bad!" (To be continued.) )
