Chapter 1289 Turkic soldiers press the city wall, crisis at Baiyun Pass
"What?
"Xue Dingshan and others exclaimed.
There are more than 20,000 people, twice as many as the soldiers in Baiyun Pass!
The Turks are so courageous!
"Report to the general, the enemy troops are not far from Baiyun Pass, and they are expected to reach Baiyun Pass soon! Please make a decision, general."
" said the scout.
Muchuan pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Send the order, the whole army is on alert! Also notify General Fan Lihua!"
"yes!"
The scout left in a hurry.
The combat effectiveness of Turkic cavalry far exceeds that of ordinary cavalry.
Their mounts are Mongolian horses, which are large and strong, have good endurance, and have a docile personality. They are the treasures of the Turkic royal court. There are 200,000 horses in total.
These cavalry are well-equipped, with tens of thousands of archers and tens of thousands of infantry.
The main task of the Turks was to capture Baiyun Pass.
If they want to control Beiping City, they can directly penetrate Luoyang and Chang'an.
However, due to the strong resistance of Muchuan's army recently, they were blocked at Baiyunguan and were unable to advance.
The Turkic Khans and generals were very anxious and agitated.
It was originally planned to capture Dou Yihu, but unexpectedly he escaped again.
They wished they could kill Muchuan directly and then take Huanglong directly.
The Turkic cavalry soon arrived at the foot of Baiyun Pass and stopped advancing.
A man who looked like a leader came out of the Turkic cavalry.
"Who are you?"
Xue Dingshan stood on the high wall of Baiyunguan, pointed at the other party and shouted loudly.
"Who are you?"
The Turkic leader asked rhetorically.
"I am Xue Dingshan, the mighty general of the Tang Dynasty!"
Xue Dingshan straightened his back proudly and said.
"Oh! You are Xue Dingshan! I am Ashina Daxixun, the general under Jieli Khan! Have you seen our 200,000 troops?
We will not give up until we break your Guancheng today!" Jieli Da Xixun said with a sneer.
Xue Dingshan screamed inwardly when he heard this. The Turks were really coming for Baiyun Pass!
"Haha, Jieli. Da Xixun, with just the few people you have, you want to break through my Baiyun Pass. It's just a dream."
Xue Dingshan mocked unceremoniously.
"Yeah?
Let’s try a few rounds first.”
Jie Li.
Da Xixun smiled.
"good!"
Xue Dingshan agreed.
He knew that if he didn't let Jie Li.
Da Xixun may not retreat easily after venting his anger.
Jie Li.
Da Xixun waved his hand.
Suddenly, 200,000 Turkic troops rushed towards Baiyunguan with great momentum!
Looking at the menacing Turkic cavalry, Muchuan felt depressed.
The Turks are so powerful in combat!
Just by looking at the mounts of the Turkic cavalry, you can tell how powerful they are in combat.
"No, the Turks are attacking! Prepare to meet the enemy!"
When Muchuan saw the enemy troops arriving at Baiyun Pass, he immediately alerted the generals.
All the generals stood up in formation.
The Turkic cavalry was very fast and arrived at Baiyun Pass in the blink of an eye.
"Archer, aim and shoot!"
Muchuan issued the order.
Suddenly, a shower of arrows slanted down.
Upon seeing this, the Turkic cavalry immediately lay down to evade, but some cavalry were still hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
The Turkic cavalry dodged arrows while charging towards the city wall.
"Bow and arrow shooting!"
Xue Dingshan shouted.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
In an instant, a dense rain of arrows shot over.
However, the Turkic cavalry were not afraid at all, and some even pulled their bowstrings and fired arrows.
All of a sudden, arrows rained down from Baiyun Pass like locusts, causing casualties on both sides!
Xue Dingshan frowned, these Turks were more powerful than he thought.
The Turks' fighting power is strong, and the defenders of Baiyunguan are not weak either.
Although both sides suffered casualties, the Turks did not stop.
Finally, the Turks began to build ladders!
Muchuan quickly ordered Xue Dingshan and others to quickly organize a defense.
At the same time, the city gate of Baiyunguan was blocked.
Groups of soldiers defended from inside the city and joined the defense on the city wall.
"Shoot these Turkic thieves to death!"
Xue Dingshan roared excitedly.
Suddenly, endless arrows were fired at the Turkic cavalry outside the city.
For a time, the corpses of Turks were everywhere.
The Turkic cavalry also fought back.
The Turks were very powerful in combat, but the Sui army was not bad either.
Soon, the two sides were fighting inextricably.
Muchuan also brought the generals to the battle line in person.
Both sides shoot arrows at each other, and each has its own victory or defeat.
Although there are only 150,000 Turks, they have many cavalry.
The goal of the Turks is to rush to the city gate! Then attack the city!
"Shield hand, hold up the shield to defend!"
Xue Dingshan ordered.
The shield bearers held their shields in front of themselves.
"Catapult, hit me!"
Xue Dingshan ordered again.
Rumble~
Catapults were pushed out and began to throw stones at the Turkic cavalry wildly.
"Hahaha, Baiyunguan must be won today."
Jie Li.
Da Xixun looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
The guards at Baiyun Pass threw stones at the ladder frantically.
Bang! Bang!
Huge boulders hit the Turks' shields hard.
The shield was immediately smashed.
However, the Turks' shields were strong enough to hold up.
The Turks continued to advance.
The Turks kept setting up ladders and climbing up.
The soldiers at Baiyun Pass threw stones down desperately.
The Turks were constantly knocked down! But the Turks still set up ladders regardless of life and death.
The two sides fought hard.
The shields of the Turks are indeed strong enough, but they cannot hold up to many stones.
The Turks suffered heavy losses!!
"Shoot that bastard for me!"
Muchuan roared angrily.
The Turks were not only attacking Baiyun Pass, they also sent people to attack the city tower.
This made Muchuan suddenly change his expression!
These damn Turks are so despicable!
Both Muchuan and the soldiers at Baiyun Pass were angered by the Turks.
A famous soldier was furious.
Bang! Bang...
Soldiers fired arrows angrily.
The Turks' charge was very slow, and each Turkic cavalryman was shot off his horse.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Turks were furious.
"Fire the arrow!"
Muchuan ordered again.
Immediately, endless rocks were thrown down again.
The Turks were beaten and retreated steadily.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Turkic leader Da Xixun gave the order again.
Phew! Phew!
Suddenly, endless arrows were shot towards Baiyun Pass.
"Shieldmen take cover! Archers come forward and shoot the enemy!"
Muchuan ordered.
In an instant, countless archers on the city gate stood up, put their bows and arrows on their shoulders, and fired arrows at the Turkic cavalry.
Da da da~
Endless arrows covered everyone like locusts.
The Turkic cavalry had nowhere to hide, and they were all hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
Muchuan was relieved when he saw this. Fortunately, he had been prepared, otherwise, he would have suffered heavy losses by now.
Da da da~
The Turks continued to build ladders.
The Turks' arrows continued to shoot at the city gate.
"Kill all the soldiers at Baiyun Pass!"
Da Xixun roared angrily.
Immediately, endless arrows flew towards the city gate tower, and countless Tang soldiers fell down.
