Almost all of the two hundred suicide squads who left the city were dead.
They shouted to fight to the death and rushed along the city wall desperately. It was a desperate style of fighting, with no thought of defense and no thought of returning to the city.
They just want to die vigorously and happily.
Anyway, we are all going to die, so fight happily and die heroically.
Cheng Chumo had been turned into a porcupine by arrows. Before leaving the city, he put on a layer of rhinoceros leather armor on top of the two layers of armor. He had both men and horses, and this was what allowed him to fight so bloody. Even though his body was full of arrows, he still stood still.
Ma Shan had already been caught and thrown away by a Turkic cavalry before he died. At this time, he was wielding a pair of short-handled axes to chop people. This thing was good in close combat. Even the Turkic light cavalry wearing iron armor could not stop him.
It can chop and chop, but its disadvantage is that it is not good at riding and fighting, and it will be at a disadvantage when facing spears, bows and arrows.
Cheng Chumo, who was covered in blood, was already looking crazy.
The war horse screamed and knelt down, and was stabbed by the Turkic cavalry's spear.
Cheng Chumo rolled off his horse and took off his stirrup in time to avoid being pinned under the horse. However, he lost his mount and was quickly surrounded. A member of the Cheng family rode on horseback and knocked away a Turkic soldier who surrounded him.
He pulled up the horse and said, "Dalang, get on the horse!"
"Fight again!" Cheng Chumo vomited blood and kept shouting.
The hospital battalion charged at the south bank, with more than 500 cavalry in front and more than 1,000 infantry following closely behind. They clung to the Turks and pursued them fiercely. There were more than 2,000 cavalry in the Ashina Valley, but they were defeated instead.
The chase didn't even give them a chance to re-form.
"Send the order and fight to the last ditch!"
Feeling unwilling.
"There is no more material," Huaiyu shook his head, "Besides, the Turks will definitely be more prepared. Even if they have thunder in their hands, it will be difficult for them to break into the camp again."
Huaiyu shook his head, "It's just a few thousand Hulu,"
Huaiyu was too lazy to pay attention to the reinforcements anymore. He was breathing heavily, wiping his sweat while looking at the battlefield, from the Xinxing Camp at the foot of Wucheng Mountain on the east bank of Changshui River to Longxi County on the north bank of Weishui River.
There are now seven or eight thousand Turks on the battlefield for several miles along the three banks.
When they returned to the city again, of the more than 500 people who had left the city, there were now less than 200 left. The city gate was closed again, and only a few dozen riders of the 200 soldiers were left.
On the other side of the river, a thousand of Ashina Valley's special forces returned to support, and another thousand new reinforcements. After adding two thousand more cavalry, the old guy became more courageous. He loudly shouted at the troops to assemble, blew the horn,
Prepare to drive the hospital camp into the Changhe River in one fell swoop to take a bath.
Cheng Chumo had passed out on Buqu's horse, and Wanda's blood stained the green magistrate's robe under his armor. He was about to die here, but the Turks suddenly retreated.
Ashina Valley quickly called back the thousand fine horsemen and horses that had just crossed the Wei River.
Cheng Chumo was the first friend he made in the Tang Dynasty, and this Longxi County town was also the first city he faced to be attacked by Turks.
No one said they would withdraw, but everyone knew they couldn't hold on.
West Bank of Zhanghe River.
"Return to Xinxing Camp."
"General Manager, please give the order!"
The two death squads gathered together.
"It won't work if we continue like this. If we continue to chase like this, we will be caught in a flanking attack." Huaiyu shouted on the horse.
Hundreds of people were armed with all kinds of weapons, including spears, spears, swords and axes, even flails and clubs. Not many of them were even wearing armor. They were all wearing the broken armor left by the soldiers who died in the battle.
"If you don't withdraw, the large group of Turkic cavalry has already crossed the Wei River. If you don't withdraw, you will be defeated."
Given the Turks' continuous invasion southward in recent years, once the city is broken, no one will survive. They will either be massacred or taken into slavery.
"Please cross the river, steward."
I originally wanted to go down to Longxi City in one go and then go to Poxin camp, but I still fell short.
"I'm afraid Longxi City won't last long. There's only so much we can do." Ma Zhou looked at the small earthen city.
The hospital battalion has less than 2,400 combat auxiliaries. It is estimated that there are less than a thousand people left in Longxi City to fight. Especially in Longxi County, it is already dilapidated and crumbling. They are probably running out of arrows. In fact, the hospital
The camp's arrows were also consumed a lot.
The Turks are very cowardly, and Ashina Valley is even more cowardly. They are very diligent, and after many sweats, they can be regarded as Turkic elders and clan members. In the end, they would rather be chased around by the hospital camp than turn around and fight.
"It's no use staying up all night. If we abandon Longxi City and ignore it, we won't be able to escape military law."
This was the reason why the Turkic soldiers under Longxi City stopped their offensive. They also discovered that the Tang camp behind them was very ferocious and might even defeat the camp on the south bank of the Ashina Valley, so they not only sent the thousand men back, but also sent more
He rode back with a thousand horses, intending to assist Ashina Valley, stabilize the camp on the south bank, and defeat the Tang army at the same time.
Fan Xuanfu followed Huaiyu and said from the side: "There is nothing we can do. We only have five hundred cavalry, and the rest are infantry. Now these Turkic wolf cubs don't fight with us, but just run away. We can't fight even if we want to."
Can’t fight.”
"It would be nice if I could make it through the night,"
Longxi City has not yet fallen, and Cheng Chumo and the others are still guarding it. Once he crosses the river now, the more than 4,000 Turks here can mobilize people across the river to assist Longxi City.
I don't even know how long I can last.
Behind you is your home, your wife and children, and there is no way out.
I could fully feel the atmosphere, but they were still far away from the Turkic bastards. Huaiyi was enjoying the lead and killing them first, but Huaiyu couldn't even catch a cold arrow.
"They are retreating."
Regroup and make sure to bloom on both sides next time and win with a double kill.
"Special Service, they are about to retreat, turn around and bite Tang Jun, don't let them escape."
Everyone couldn't help but ask questions again.
Opposite are more than 4,000 cavalry who have already assembled in the Ashina Valley. They raised their sabers and raised their spears.
Cheng Chumo opened his one eye fiercely, "Kill the prisoner!"
The Turks' horns sounded again, and they sounded on both sides of the river at the same time. Under the Longxi City on the north bank, the Turks reorganized their teams and repeated the old method of cavalry bows and arrows to suppress the city, and then other cavalry filled the city with bags of soil. They did not attack the city.
There are no siege equipment such as ladders or rams, but Longxi County is too low. If the rammed earth city walls lack soldiers to defend, such a simple method cannot be defended.
A group of young men from Longxi who were also scarred came forward. At this moment, the city was about to fall. Several big families in the county had no reservations anymore. The heads of each family led the children of the clan who could still fight, and
Step 1, the slaves follow and fight out.
Two exhausted soldiers and horses faced a Turkic army that was twice their size and obviously more relaxed. They didn't know how to win this battle.
The Turks below the city did not retreat, they just retreated and regrouped.
Wu Junwei waited for the request, but Huaiyu stared at the opposite side, but did not immediately give the order. It was indeed too late to retreat across the river, but once he crossed the river, it was no longer possible to respond to Longxi County, and he could only watch Cheng Chumo and Longxi County being destroyed.
.
Seeing the crows and crows of Turkic cavalry, they couldn't stand it at the moment, let alone staying until night to attack the camp.
Cheng Chumo and Wanda helped each other to the top of the city.
The horns sounded, and the Turks were actually retreating.
"Where are the reinforcements?"
At the head of Longxi City, Wanda watched the scene, watching the two hundred warriors getting fewer and fewer, watching them unable to rush forward, and watching more and more Turkic wolf riders biting forward.
The young Jiangnan master's eyes turned red.
"withdraw!"
The hospital camp was surrounded by water, but it did not cross the river.
Huaiyu was unwilling to give up and made a good start. He fired a gun when crossing the river, but he failed to expand the victory. Seeing the Turkic cavalry coming across the river one after another, Huaiyu had to angrily order to stop the pursuit and slowly retreat to the bank of the Zhang River.
"Look over there, Commander-in-Chief Wu's hospital camp on the south bank is attacking the Ashina Valley camp."
The Ashina Valley special service camp on the south bank of the Wei River was in chaos. The hospital camp fought passionately across Zhangshui, using a dozen remaining palm thunders to scare away Gu Special Service's intercepting cavalry, and then covered them all the way and held on to hold on.
A good roll-up bead curtain was staged, and many old and weak people and auxiliary slaves in the camp were suddenly driven away by the hospital camp.
"Once Longxi City is broken, we will be unable to defend it alone. Even if we retreat to Xinxing camp, although the terrain is dangerous, the camp fence is crude and we cannot hold it."
Ashina Gu kept running, but suddenly the Tang army stopped chasing him and he was not used to it.
Huaiyu kept running, Fan Xuanfu and dozens of horsemen surrounded him on three levels. Although Huaiyu was always on the battlefield, he was covered in clothes, holding a horse spear, and carrying a horse on his back.
The enemy has no chance to get close, let alone kill the general and capture the flag.
However, the Turks under command were not discouraged. Anyway, they had an absolute advantage in military strength, so it was just a waste of time.
"Mother Xipi, follow me out of the city and pick up Manager Cheng."
Try your best.
Ashina Valley under the Wolf banner became arrogant again, shouting in front of the battle line that he wanted to kill everyone in the elite Tang army on the opposite side.
"Manager, can you bring out some more palm mines so that we can blow up the Turkic camp again tonight?"
Ashina Gu was so frightened that he ran out and was sweating profusely. He was too old to be frightened like this. He looked at the Tang army who stopped chasing and organized their troops to retreat alternately. He shook his head, "This apricot
The Shuqi Tang Army is really an elite force. Look at them retreating, with each unit taking turns to rear, and they are very cautious. Now if you turn around and bite them, they may bite you again. Forget it, let them go."
Security is very secure.
But they are willing to die.
The older you get, the less courageous you are. No wonder this Sogdian maidservant's special agent has not been able to get into the position of a military enfeoffment even when he is old.
Fortunately, this attack was not without any effect. At least the Turkic offensive in Longxi City was interrupted, and they were even forced to send many troops here.
He didn't want to fight the hospital camp, so he just wanted to wait for a while and wait for the people over there to cross the river to make dumplings for the hospital camp, just to bully the few.
"Manager Cheng, the Turks have retreated."
The battle has reached this point, and Huaiyu can't do anything. Who said they were of low rank? If they leave the battlefield now, they are deserters. Chai Shao will directly chop him with a painted halberd.
Now he could only bet that Chai Shao was nearby and was keeping an eye on them, that Chai Shao was playing tricks on them.
Now the Turks have arrived with at least five thousand cavalry reinforcements, and together with those from Ashina Valley, there are eight or nine thousand. This will definitely satisfy Chai Shao's appetite, and he should take action.
Unless Huaiyu made a wrong bet, he really wasn't here.
