Trench warfare does have advantages, the trenches dug out cover the bodies of most of the soldiers, and the enemy who comes to attack can be calmly shot with crossbow arrows, and the trenches also play a hindering role, the enemy's cavalry can not cut down, and the defensive battle without the city wall is a big advantage.

However, this must also be equal in strength, 30,000 against 1 million, this battle for the moraine, from the beginning of the war, was extremely fierce.

Although the culture is backward, the Vikings are not backward in the level of forging, these bear-like sturdy Nordic men are also clothed in sturdy armor, they are the earliest merchants and adventurers, the ancestors of later generations of Russia are the Vikings invaded the Dnieper and Volga River basins to establish Kievan Rus, more than ten centuries before Columbus, these people discovered the New World and lived in the New World for a while, their adaptability is terrifying.

In just two days, these Vikings also adapted to the way of trench warfare, but when they saw a large group of Norse barbarians howling Thor, the god of thunder, carrying heavy two-handed battle axes, they were lying on the ground, with wooden shields covering their heads, and climbed towards the Tang trench in a prostrate posture.

After all, the eldest grandson Wuji had never fought trench warfare, and he didn't know how to reserve a passage for the cavalry, but more than 5,000 cavalry all retreated into the moraine city, and the ditch under the city was allowed to let those Heluo Jian'er desperately aim their bows and crossbows, but the damage brought was still very limited, and in the end, more than 2,000 Viking barbarians climbed to the edge of the trench.

"Thief, you're a!" A scolding in a guanzhongyin! A rather strong Tang army Shaanzhou soldier finally couldn't bear the pressure, jumped out of the trench to fight the enemy, the sharp horizontal knife along the Viking's strong and sturdy back and pierced in, and immediately the Viking vomited blood and lay on the ground and died.

Seeing that someone made an example, the Tang soldiers in the trench also ignored the reprimand of the captain and officer, and jumped out of the trench to fight hand-to-hand, but this time, the effect was not so good, the Vikings who also reacted quickly got up, and the heavy axe slashed and slashed, and at this time the number of Vikings prevailed, but seeing that a Tang army soldier often had to face two or three enemies, the tiger's head round shield and the Viking wooden shield collided together, and before the horizontal knife pierced into the gap, an axe behind it had already slashed into the back of the Tang army.

For a while, the extremely cruel fighting battle unfolded in front of the formation, relying on the strength of the body, the Vikings hit the Tang army with a wooden shield, the axe cut off the head of the Tang people, cut the arm that was waved out into two, and cut the shield through, for a time less than ten meters away from the Tang people's screams.

"Straight sissy thief!" The horizontal knife stabbed into the chest of another Viking barbarian, and before he could pull out the knife, the strong man of the Tang Army, who had just been the first to rush out, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his thigh, but it was at his foot that he suddenly turned over and the Viking barbarian's half axe slashed into his thigh, and before the sharp man screamed in pain, the back of the other axe hit him in the face, and the whole person was beaten in a circle, spitting blood and kneeling to the ground.

Click~Click~ Two Viking battle axes were slashed into the exposed back, and the Tang Army warrior spit out a mouthful of blood violently, and he still held the knife and stabbed it on the ground.

With his last breath, Tang Ren hissed and shouted to his comrades.

"Shoot me an arrow! Shoot these! ”

As if waking up from a dream, the stunned one or two trenches Tang Jun's eyes were red, and he trembled and pulled the crossbow machine, and for a time ten thousand arrows were fired, so close, thousands of Viking barbarians who were close to him fell under the crossbow array, but the more than 100 Tang Army warriors who rushed out also did not survive.

Some of the Tang troops fell and still showed the appearance of fighting with the enemy, and the blades and axes slashed into each other's bodies, which was extremely tragic.

It was like this, but it still made the barbarians see a glimmer of opportunity.

In the next wave of attack, the barbarians of all ethnic groups in the east and west were like turtles that came ashore to lay eggs, and they pressed a battle line that occupied three kilometers of the entire Mokou City, crawling forward, not knowing that there were tens of thousands of people.

This kind of scene forced the Tang Army warriors to jump out of the trenches one after another, fight hand-to-hand with the superior enemy on the flat ground, and create opportunities for the comrades behind them with their own flesh and blood.

In this way, the barbarians of all ethnic groups in Central Asia and Northern Europe who were crawling forward still rolled into the trench like dumplings, and the more brutal hand-to-hand combat in the trench began.

The narrow trench can only accommodate one person, here, whether the Tang army's lance or the nomad's spear can not be used, the two sides can only roar through the shield with a short blade to fight, the Vikings and the Franks axe smashed from above, the skulls of the Tang people were broken, some of the corpses could not even fall, some of the Tang people relied on their flexibility, fearless to roll over from below, the Tang knife and dagger were fiercely pierced, cut on the thigh of the Vikings, so that a polar bear also fell to the ground in pain.

Such a ferocious battle made many Black Sea nomads frightened, crying and escaping from the trench and fleeing backwards, but there were too many nomads attacking, a group escaped, and soon a new group rushed up, although the Tang army fought back desperately, but when the sun fell on the third day of the war, the first and second Tang army trenches were still breached, almost more than 7,000 Tang troops died on the battlefield, and the trenches at both ends of the six kilometers were completely filled with corpses, and the number of barbarian casualties was almost twice that of the Tang army.

Around this, the night was not very peaceful, the Tang army organized a death squad, taking advantage of the night to sneak attack, trying to recapture the lost position, almost driving out the Magyars who were guarding the trench, but the Central Asian and Nordic coalition forces that woke up were dead again, and fought the front with the Vikings who were good at sneak attacks, and took the trench back.

On the fourth day, the second trench that was only a few meters away, and the bloodier battle started again, still with the advantage of numbers, and tens of thousands of barbarians pushed it over, shouting God and shouting Tengri, the disciples of the great god Odin rushed to the first place, marched together, and almost directly flooded the last three or four trenches, and the Tang army suffered heavy losses.

Day 5.

More than a dozen Tang soldiers shot fiercely with strong crossbows, and several Franks who rushed to the last trench screamed and fell back, but before the Tang army could reload, hundreds of flying axes had been thrown from all directions, and in the whistling sound, the Tang people's flesh and blood were flying, and the trenches of the Tang army were superimposed from the inside to the outside in a zigzag, and the number of guards in the further they went, the smaller the number of guards, and the spirit of the Tang army finally collapsed. Half of the trench filled the enemy army, and the more than 100 surviving Tang troops fled to the city of Mokou with a cry.

"Open the door, open the door!"

Wearing the captain's armor on his head, his body has been stained red with blood, a Tang military captain looked back in a panic, while desperately shouting to the city, but even if his voice was hoarse, but the confined moraine gate still did not have a trace of opening, behind, hundreds of barbarians viciously slaughtered out of the trench, the barbarians who had killed the red-eyed barbarians laughed and threw the flying axe to the city gate, and the surviving trench Tang soldiers screamed one by one and were thrown down, and finally hit seven or eight axes, The decisive hand of the Tang military captain left a deep blood mark on the city gate.

Listening to the slightest movement below, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart ached like a knife, it was his youngest son, Sun Ze, the eighteen-year-old captain of Fengche School!

In five consecutive days of bloody battles, the Heluo army suffered as many as 25,000 casualties, and the last trench fell, marking the complete bankruptcy of the Tang army's plan to completely stuck, and the 400,000 barbarian army that was completely stuck in the eastward march was completely bankrupt.

But in these critical five days, the eldest grandson Wuji looked eastward, but he didn't see a single soldier from Datang coming to support.

At night, the sound of carriages outside the city is still coming and going, and the food has been out for almost three days, and the barbarian coalition army on the eastern front itself has died of thirst for thousands of people, and the whole army is in a weak situation at this time, but since last night, the traffic has been smooth again, tens of thousands of camels and horses carrying ****, wheat, and grapes abundant in Turpan have been replenished in the past, and the combat strength of the besieged barbarian army has begun to rise.

Listening to the sound of tinkling horses' hooves and wheels, as well as the shouts of the Hu people outside the city, the cries of the prisoners and the wounded, the entire Mokou City almost became a dead place, the Tang soldiers who relied on the battlements were silent, the sergeants in the barracks were silent, and everyone seemed to be asleep, but when they got closer, everyone's eyes were looking directly at the ceiling.

A look of despair filled everyone's eyes, and throughout the night, only the screams of the wounded and the neighing of war horses occasionally came.

The hall of the garrison fortress was even more silent, the surviving Heluo generals of the bloody battle were dejected, staggering and leaning on the hall, Changsun Huan also lost that sharpness at this time, lying on the ground tiredly, in the entire hall, only Changsun Wuji was still writing hard under the candle, and from time to time he gritted his teeth twice.

It took half an hour for a pair of ink-stained notes to be dried by him, carefully wrapped in a yellow cover, and then he suddenly slammed the table.

In the end, it is Sikong, and the eldest grandson Wuji is still the leader of the Guanlongshi clan, hula, the generals who are staggering and discouraged all subconsciously jumped up and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in dismay.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle has come to this situation because the old man is not in good command and his judgment is unclear! The old man is ashamed of everyone! ”

The dignified people all apologized to everyone in person, but those generals still hurriedly returned the salute and persuaded them with nonsense.

"Sikong doesn't have to mind, the will of heaven is like this, it's not a war!"

"Sikong has done his best, even if he sees His Majesty in the future, His Majesty will not blame!"

But in the midst of persuasion, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly viciously put the music on the table, looked at the stunned officers, and shouted angrily: "The old man's fault is not to be loyal to his duties, but to not expect that there would be a villain to deceive the saint!" Why did Li Fuguo's Northern Ya Forbidden Army miss the deadline? Why did our army stagnate and miss a great opportunity? It must be Li Fuguo, a eunuch, who is favoritism and deceived Your Majesty! ”

It is said that the enemy knows the opponent best, and at this time, Changsun Wuji also thought about it, and in those generals who followed him and gritted his teeth, he threw the song to his second son, Changsun Huan, and in his stunned expression, he slapped the table excitedly and shouted.

"Today's barbarian army has won a great victory, and it must be negligent at night, there are still 6,000 war horses in the city, and you will immediately gather soldiers and break through from the east! If you are still the son of my eldest grandson Wuji, you must hand over the old man's performance to Your Majesty, and you must get rid of the cancer of Li Fuguo for the Tang Dynasty! ”

As a result, Song Shu was stunned, but Changsun Huan immediately shouted in surprise: "What about you, father?"

"The old man has no shame to return to Chang'an, and besides, the old man is the head of the city, how can he abandon the city and flee?" At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was in his last years, had a particularly majestic momentum, full of determination, and the eldest grandson Wuji resolutely shouted: "Tonight, the old man is the vanguard, leading his own soldiers to attack the camp of the Hulu barbarians in the west, creating opportunities for you, you will break through in six ways, and you must find the main force of my Tang Dynasty to the west!"

"Nope! Father, the child led the eldest grandson's personal soldiers to attack the Hulu camp, father, you should break through with Songshu! ”

"Sikong, let the end be the bait, you can break through!"

"No, let me be the bait, you and Childe break through!"

The chaotic quarrel sounded into a piece, Yan Zhao was a generous and sad person, at the moment of life and death, felt by the eldest grandson Wuji, almost everyone rushed to grab this mortal task, but no one expected that with a knife sound, the eldest grandson Wuji actually pulled the knife out of the sheath fiercely and slashed it on the corner of the table.

"The old man is the commander of the whole army, and the military orders are like a mountain, who dares to disobey and behead!"

Seeing that there was silence in the hall, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and made a big gesture to many generals, and said sadly: "The old man has been the prime minister for more than 30 years and has served three generations of kings, can you bear to let the old man suffer such a big defeat in his old age, and go back to be humiliated by the hands of the little officials?" ”

In Huaxia, reputation is more important than life, the eldest grandson Wuji said so, many generals finally fell silent, the eldest grandson Huan and several other descendants of the eldest grandson family cried silently, and the eldest grandson Wuji also patted them on the back helplessly, and then ordered gloomily.

"Pass the old man's order, prepare to break through!"

Inside the city, all the resting sergeants were awakened, and they gathered in the school yard with blazing torches, and the lightly wounded were all armed, and everyone expected the great event that was about to happen tonight, and all of them were all in the water.

The eldest grandson Wuji himself also put on the armor, personally rode to the school field, looked at the three armies with gloomy eyes, the old grandson was full of emotion, for a long time, then sighed and pulled out the sword in his hand, and ordered loudly: "Pass the old man's order, the Heluo Army A battalion ............"

But before the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, the eldest grandson Huan, who was facing him, suddenly shouted in shock: "What person? ”

With a sudden burst in his heart, the eldest grandson Wuji turned around suddenly, but saw that on the cliff of the Bald Dragon Ridge of Qilian Mountain, which was leaning on the back of the city, hundreds of people descended down the cliff little by little.

The enemy wants to attack at night? For a while, Sun Wuji's head was ............
