Chapter 7: The Golden Age (Part 8) Seeing that the warriors were approaching the city wall, the Persians who commanded the catapult had to angrily stop the projectile in order to avoid accidentally killing their colleagues. The disgraced defenders, forced by the low-level generals, trembled from the collapsed city wall.
Half of their heads were exposed, and they shot sporadic arrows at the Turks. But soon, they were frightened by the swarming wolf cavalry. They dropped their bows and ran backwards in embarrassment, letting the general supervising the battle chop them with swords and axes.
Resolutely refuse to look back
"Kill their men, snatch their women, burn their houses..." Seeing that the enemy was so weak, the charging tribal warriors became increasingly morale. Even if they were accidentally injured by stray arrows, they quickly pulled them out.
Arrow shafts, staggering forward with the brigade
"Kill their men, snatch away their women, burn their houses..." The warriors were like flies smelling the fishy smell, rushing more and more bravely. They approached the gap in the city wall, pressed the broken wall with their palms, and jumped
Those who were far away from the gap scrambled to squeeze into the gap. Some brave people had whims and swung their sabers to chop at the city gate blocking the pass. The result was surprising. The city gate that had been smashed by catapults was chopped off.
After a few blows, it collapsed, opening a golden avenue leading to treasure and food to the warriors!
"Kill, kill, kill!" Seeing that the first wave of warriors who rushed forward had successfully attacked, the wolf riders in the valley were even more excited. Some tribesmen, Aijin, did not even wait for Gutuolu's order, and led his warriors to rush forward.
Although Shina Daman, Ashina Helu, Ashina Husela and other Turkic relatives could still restrain the people around them, their anxious faces were already overflowing with words. In those days, Yang Guang ate for free and hung silks and satins on the trees.
Deliberately showing off, the prosperity of the Central Plains has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the tribal warriors. The barrier of the Central Plains has collapsed, and mountains of wealth are so close at hand. Who can still hold back?
Facing the aggressive gazes of his generals, Ashina Gutoru had to compromise. Although subconsciously, he still believed that victory came too quickly. Li Xu, who had once beaten him to the point of running away, could not possibly have no back-up moves.
He left the ground to let Hulu Jian miss, but at this moment he had no choice but to deploy his troops and generals, while silently praying to Changsheng Heaven in his heart, praying that this battle would not cause any more complications.
Changshengtian must have heard Gutuolu's call. The wolf riders and tribal warriors who took the lead in attacking the wall hardly encountered any resistance. Behind the broken city wall, their cheers and shouts continued to be heard, and these cheers and shouts were like
The sparks on the grass instantly set the morale of the follow-up troops into billowing flames. They rushed forward, the Xieba tribe rushed forward, and the Wuliang tribe also rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, there were already more than two thousand tribal warriors and wolf riders.
After rushing into the wall, the subsequent army was still coming like a tidal wave. This scene made Gutuoru doubt his intuition again. He clamped his horse between his legs and rushed to the front line surrounded by the guards.
He wanted to show his bravery in front of thousands of troops. Yesterday's defeat was mainly due to lack of preparation. Today, he will not repeat the same mistakes as yesterday. In addition to having thousands of black-armored guards around him, he also prepared in advance after the valley.
There are more than 15,000 archers. Even if he fails for a moment, he can order the archers to shoot out a death zone, and he will never be beaten by the Central Plains soldiers again.
The gap in the barrier wall was too narrow. The farther the wolf riders moved forward, the slower they went. The warriors who were eager to enter and rob were in poor order. They squeezed as hard as they could toward the entrance. They didn't pay attention to first-come, first-served.
Beergu Tuolu's orders no longer worked at this time. Even if he showed his woolen cloth, no one would let him out.
This is the heart of the fanatical fighting warriors. At this time, there is no fear of death and no respect for power. Only the desire for wealth and victory is left. They shouted at the top of their lungs, not knowing that fatigue was crushing them.
I didn't know the pain in my shoulders, and my feet were swollen from being stepped on by the robes. I didn't care about yelling, I just squeezed forward with all my strength, squeezed forward.
At this moment, a burst of horn sounds suddenly came from the beacon tower, "Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo————!", low and long, as if in the Tiger Roaring Valley, the first sound of the dragon's horn had just faded away, and it was already
The attackers who boarded the Broken City all stopped. Not only that, the warriors who rushed to the city gate also suddenly stopped suddenly, and immediately saw the devil, and kept retreating. The warriors in the valley retreated.
However, the wolf riders could not see the abnormality ahead and continued to surge forward, blocking those who tried to retreat and pushing them forward.
The front was no longer unobstructed. I saw flags waving near the city gate. Four regiments of infantry, led by captains, rushed down the horse path leading to the top of the city wall. The horse path was supposed to guard the city head.
The army provided reinforcements, but at this time, they were turned around by the defenders of the Great Wall. Immediately they reaped a miraculous effect. The wolf knights and warriors did not expect that so many people were ambushed at the silent city head. One of them was killed and they were caught off guard and rushed into the city wall.
After running forward for less than half a mile, the leading troops discovered that enemy troops appeared on the rear road and quickly turned around and ran back. They heard another blast of horns, and four regiments of infantry swept in from the nearby woods and behind the mounds, holding long weapons in their hands.
The sword was swung horizontally, slashing at the Turks like melons and vegetables (Note 1). In a hurry, the wolf riders and warriors who rushed into the Great Wall could not react correctly. Some screamed, turned around and ran away, while others tried to
After stubbornly resisting to the end, Brother Boling was immediately stabbed into a honeycomb and attacked successfully. Brother Boling did not hesitate at all. After finishing the enemy troops that rushed into the wall, he immediately charged towards the city wall. During the march, the eight captains cooperated with each other and led the brothers under their command.
Turning left, then turning again, like flowing water, more than 2,400 brothers were intertwined to form a large triangular formation.
As soon as the triangular formation approached the city wall, the warriors who rushed up in a chaotic manner couldn't resist it and wanted to turn around and run for their lives. However, they were surrounded by their own robes and could not retreat even half a step. In the panic, hundreds of long spears stabbed at them alternately, killing all of them.
The warriors who were hiding everywhere were stabbed into bloody gourds
Seeing the miserable situation of themselves and those in front of them, the wolf riders and warriors screamed "Oh my god!" in fright. The wolf riders and warriors who pushed back desperately couldn't stop, and continued to rush forward under the pressure of the two sides.
, the order is even more chaotic, almost like being cut by the Boling Army using a long spear to cut reeds, layer by layer near the gap in the Great Wall.
Blood flowed down the broken city wall like a waterfall, and corpses rolled out of the city like rubble. Life was like autumn leaves, withered in an instant, and was blown away by the mountain wind in an instant. The plunderers, who were dazzled by the wealth of the Central Plains, were not caught.
Human blood has extinguished the passion in my heart, but I am still rushing forward desperately, rushing forward
Rushing up to the broken city, they were stabbed and stomped on the stabbed corpse. Another wave of warriors rushed up to the broken city and found the forest in front of them. It was too late to turn back, so they had to be pushed by the bodies of their companions and took the initiative to send a shot to Changshan.
Layers of corpses were piled on top of each other until the soil where the city wall collapsed was washed into a swamp by human blood and no one could stand on it anymore. Only then did the Turkic Berks of the tribe Aijin suddenly wake up and realize that they had been tricked again.
"Retreat, stay away from the city wall, stay away from the city wall!" Still without waiting for Gutuoru's unified dispatch, the warriors from all departments retreated one after another. The robes in the valley had no time to coordinate their actions with the defeated, so they could only fight against each other, squeeze each other, and rely on unlimited crowding.
Pressure to free up living space
But this small living space disappeared in an instant. With a burst of changing drums, the Boling Army who had successfully attacked quickly rushed out along the no longer existing city gate. They calmly reorganized under the eyes of the Turkic wolf riders and tribal warriors, and then
Following the rhythm of the drum, slowly push forward
"Again!" Being squeezed into a dilemma three hundred steps away from the city wall, Gu Tuolu regretted that he almost vomited out his intestines. The reason why he dared to order the warriors to attack was that on the one hand he was forced by the situation and on the other hand,
But the judgment was made based on the information that "Li Xu has already killed Huanghuahuozi". According to Gutuolu's little calculation, since Li Xu has already killed Huanghuahuozi, it is impossible for Boling's elite to wait here in Hulujian.
By the time Li Xu discovered that he had been deceived and came from Huanghuahuozi, he had easily taken the entire Hulujian Pass.
Unexpectedly, those who were killed from Huanghua Huozi were not Boling elites at all. Although the leading generals were also flying the flag of Li Xu, the group of soldiers who calmly formed and fought in front of them were genuine and guaranteed to be fake.
The Boling Army did not even have time to wipe out Changshan and Modao, who had killed all the Turks yesterday.
Holding a sharp blade that was moistened with human blood and turned into lavender, the Boling Army clung to the Turkic Wolf Cavalry. The terrain of Hulu Stream was slightly wider than Huanghuahuozi, so the triangular formation formed by the Boling Army's forwards was also slightly wider than yesterday.
These 2,400 people lined up in nearly 30 rows, and the steps and soldiers were very neatly spaced. At the same time, from behind the broken wall smashed by the Turks, more than 2,000 heroes from the world came out one after another, all in uniform.
A simple knife in one hand and a leather shield in the other hand, shouting attached to the two hypotenuses of the triangular formation
The common heroes of these rivers and lakes are unfamiliar, but their killing skills are far stronger than those of Boling soldiers. After the Turks were knocked out of the limelight, the hillsides on both sides of the Hulu Stream almost became a variety show for heroes of the rivers and lakes. The Turkic wolf riders and tribesmen were left alone.
The samurai couldn't bear to see him face to face, so he was chopped to the ground by the heroes with simple and simple moves, and then cut off his neck with a knife, and hung his bloody head on the golden hook around his waist.
Almost pushed by the commander of the Boling Army, the wolf cavalry and the tribal warriors retreated steadily. The scene yesterday was repeated again. In the narrow valley, the cavalry who were not familiar with infantry combat could not organize an effective resistance at all. Only half a stick of incense was used.
At that moment, the vanguard of the Boling Army advanced to the catapult. The heroes guarding it on both sides immediately rushed forward, lit a few torches and threw them under the catapult. In the blink of an eye, they burned the murder weapon into a barbecue stall.
As the open space in the valley increased, more Boling soldiers poured out from behind the Great Wall. Some of them rushed into the triangular formation, expanding the head of the formation to adapt to the gradually opening terrain. Some of them connected under the command of the captains.
At the end of the formation, they slowly gathered into a huge phalanx. At the junction of the front row of the huge phalanx and the triangle formation, more than 500 Boling disciples holding bows and arrows were protected. They were under the command of the horn and drum players in the formation.
, constantly throwing feather arrows forward, shooting the embarrassed Turkic warriors into hiding.
As the number of soldiers participating in the battle increased, the square formation became longer and longer, and the entire Great Wall Guardian Formation gradually took shape, with edges, blades, and wings, just like a gilt boring machine that had just come out of the shaft in the center of the entire boring head.
Li Xu was pushed forward by his brothers on a cart. A long spear was placed in front of the cart, and a horn bow and a scimitar were hung diagonally behind the cart. However, Li Xu's weapons at this moment turned into a giant war drum more than eight feet high.
Knocking it up is like lightning striking a landslide, shaking the enemy's heart.
"Don't be messy, don't be messy, retreat calmly. There are our archers outside the valley!" Seeing Li Xu appear, Gutuolu knew that he could no longer get any advantage in the valley. This was the end of the matter. Don't use the reversal to regret it.
Hope can only be placed on the reserve troops and horses waiting outside the valley. As long as Li Xu dares to chase him, Bone Tolu would rather take the risk of shooting hundreds of tribal warriors and wolf riders and being resented by the tribes and chiefs.
to put him to death
"Retreat calmly, retreat calmly. There are our reinforcements outside the valley!" Damei Luashina Houjin quickly blew the horn and passed on Gutuolu's only correct order today. Hearing the sound of the horn, the wolf cavalry and the tribe
Even though the samurai are still being chased and beaten by the enemy once their military morale has calmed down, as long as the long spears and horizontal swords are not stabbed in front of them, the chance of survival is better if they retreat in an orderly manner than if they retreat in an disorderly manner.
Seeing that Gutuolu was about to lead the defeated army out of the valley, the trumpet sound sounded for the third time at the head of the Great Wall, followed by the gilt boring machine formed by the Boling Army and the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and suddenly a huge base was born. Countless Hedong bows and arrows
The hands shouted and followed the military formation. At the core was a light chariot. The old man, Shi Chen Yanshou, was holding a huge horn horn and stood upright in the center of the light chariot. He was wearing a cloth crown and gray robe, with a majestic appearance.
Seeing the Great Wall defenders coming out in full force, Gutuolu had no intention of entangling with the opponent in the valley. He ordered his direct descendants to abandon the tribal warriors and the wolf riders who had been cut off, and moved to the position he had prepared as quickly as possible to move in with the elite wolves as the core.
As soon as they rode away, the servants of the tribal warriors did not have the courage to continue to die. They screamed several times, and the formation riddled with holes suddenly collapsed. Tutun, elders, and shamans did not care about each other, and fled over the mountains and ridges to disperse.
go
The wolf cavalry retreated, and the tribal warriors fled in panic. The field of vision on the battlefield instantly broadened. Li Xu guessed that Gutuolu was trying to play a trick, and the drumsticks in his hands fell staggered, beating the war drums like thunder and landslides. When the surrounding soldiers heard the drums, the formation changed to the front row again.
The soldiers threw away their long spears and took over huge shields from the chasing heroes. The brothers in the back row were full of morale. They quickened their pace, biting Gutuolu's tail and pursued them.
The two troops of the enemy and ours, one behind the other, fought from the inside of the valley to the outside of the valley in a blink of an eye. When Li Xu saw Li Xu coming to pursue him, he gritted his teeth and immediately waved the corner flag and ordered the archers he had ambushed in advance to execute
More than 15,000 archers finally got the opportunity to use the brave man's wrist-breaking strategy. They lined up in three large formations, sandwiched the exit of the valley, drew their bows and fired with just a few clicks, creating a death zone between the enemy and ourselves.
The Boling Army and the Wolf Cavalry were entangled in a line and were abruptly cut open. The enemy and we were no longer in contact, leaving a buffer zone about thirty steps wide in the middle. On this dark red buffer zone, more than a thousand wolves
The knights and tribal warriors fell to the ground with hatred, and looked at Gutuolu with their eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.
Many of them took the initiative to cover the evacuation of Gutuolu and others, but they did not expect that the Great Khan would repay their loyalty in this way. If they had known that what they were protecting was actually a white-eyed wolf, why would they risk their lives? Since at the last moment, they
It was so unworthy to die, so maybe it was a mistake to start this war. What for the survival of the entire Turkic nation? If I had not obeyed the orders of the Ashina family, I might be sitting in a felt bag at this moment, drinking fresh food.
The goat milk spring has arrived, and the cattle and sheep have begun to fatten. Even if they do not go south to plunder, the continuous famine has come to an end... But it is all too late. The warriors can only use their last strength to raise their heads and look back.
Behind the mountains and rivers, under the yellow clouds and above the green grass, is their hometown.
"Shoot, shoot them to death and don't stop!" Burke and the Ejins felt guilty when they saw the red-eyed Burke next to him. Gutuoru continued to yell that all the warriors who were shot were the price they had to pay for victory.
He killed hundreds of thousands of people. Of course, he thought it was worth the sacrifice. Among the people shot to death by random arrows, none of them had the surname Ashina, and none of them had the blood of the wolf in their bodies.
Turkic nobles
The Turkic archers listened to the order, raised their wooden bows, and kept repeating the same action. The enemy did not stop and continued to move forward. Although the arrows were disturbed by the mountain wind, their power was weakened a lot, but at such a close distance
, still dense like hailstones
Layers of steel "hail" fell, splashing thick smoke and dust. The violent mountain wind blew, and the smoke was quickly lifted into the air, turning into yellow clouds and mist. Behind the clouds, the Boling Army marched forward at an unchanging pace,
The heroes on both sides of the rivers and lakes marched forward without hesitation, holding their leather shields high and following closely.
Gutuolu, who fled to a distance to watch the battle, suddenly discovered a shocking sight. At this moment, the first row of soldiers of the Boling Army held in their hands not the long spear that they were familiar with, but a giant
