In the end, they fell into the plot of Yi Shibo and Xue Qiluo. Ren Junshuo and Tian Ming, who also looked extremely ugly, looked at each other. They were ready to die in battle.
It's just that he is almost forty years old. He has been a soldier since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. Ren Junshuo, who was promoted to regiment leader just a few days ago through Wang Junlin's help, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Niu Jinda, I believe that after this battle, if you still
Only by staying alive can you become a qualified general."
When the desperate Ren Junshuo opened his eyes, he could no longer see any negative emotions in his eyes. Instead, he was filled with absolute despair. Most of his brothers who were soldiers with him back then were dead. How could he survive to this day?
It is also lucky that he can die on the battlefield instead of dying in the arms of his children. It is also a good ending.
Unlike Ren Junshuo, Tian Ming beside him quickly recovered from the shock, but there was no despair or determination in his expression. Instead, he looked at the enemies pouring under the city, his face full of killing intent and fighting intent.
.
"Sir Ren, prepare to fight. The enemy is about to attack the city!" Tian Ming casually pulled out a spear on the equipment rack next to him. The soldiers on the city were also stunned by the sudden appearance of the enemy below the city. The city seemed dead.
of silence.
Ren Junshuo came back to his senses and was furious when he saw this. He ran to the tower in a few steps, picked up the drum and beat it, and beat the war drum with all his strength. "Brothers, the enemy is coming, prepare to fight!" He waved his arms to beat the drum, his long hair
Flying, the soldiers on the city were awakened by the sound of drums. Looking back on the city tower, Ren Junshuo had a bushy beard and some gray hair was flying in the wind, and a sudden excitement aroused in his chest.
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
Everyone shouted together.
"Soldiers, Shifeng Walled City is high and precipitous. Let alone 20,000 or 30,000 enemies, so what if there are 50,000 enemies? We will still make the Turkic thieves disgraced. The Captain is leading the main force back, and the Marquis is also personally
The reinforcements will arrive soon, and as long as we persist for one day, we will win!" Tian Ming climbed up the tower, raised his arms and shouted.
Ren Junshuo was a little ashamed. He was a veteran, but he was not as courageous as a young man who had just been promoted. He handed over the drumming work to others, trotted all the way to Tian Ming's side, and whispered: "Master Tian, we are going to
Withdraw the people from the forts. The two forts are severely undermanned. There are only more than a hundred people in each. If you leave them anywhere, you will only die. If you withdraw them, you can help defend the main fort."
Tian Ming did not speak. He looked at the two forts not far away, his eyes filled with sadness. "We cannot retreat. The two forts are our powerful barriers. If the Turks are allowed to occupy the forts, we can retreat from the forts."
The fort suppressed our left and right wings. With the level of the Turks' bows and horses, our left and right wings would suffer heavy losses. What's more, people can withdraw from the two guard forts, but the eight-oxen crossbows cannot. Think about it,
What would you do if the opponent shoots us with a eight-niu crossbow?"
Of course, Ren Junshuo knew the role of the fort on the main fortress, but there were all his brothers and his direct subordinates. Wherever they were placed, it would not take long before it would become an isolated island, with only one way waiting for them -
- Died in battle and martyred his country.
"Are we just going to watch them die?" He couldn't help arguing loudly.
Tian Ming closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "Tell the brothers who defend the fort that the longer they hold on, the greater our hope of victory. Ask them to fight to the death!"
Hu Dafei looked sad, knowing that the two people in the fort had become abandoned, but he knew the current situation and there was no way around it.
"Come here!" Hu Dafei shouted loudly, and a soldier ran over in response, "Go tell the tax officials in the city and ask them to organize it. Tell all the people in Shifeng Village that if they don't want to be killed by the enemy, they come into the city.
, chop off their heads and build a Jingguan like those outside the city, everyone is ready to go to the city to kill the enemy!"
…
…
In the wilderness in winter, the cold is very cold, especially at night. The cold wind blows through the body like a knife. But maybe because of the high altitude, the moon appears clearer and larger in the sky. The howling of wolves comes from afar.
, Su Changqing, Li Xiang, and Jiang Murang, who were studying the map, dropped the parchment hatefully and looked in the direction of the wolf howling.
Li Xiang, Jiang Mulang, and Su Changqing are now very distressed. Their three thousand cavalry traveled through mountains and rivers, across the Qilian Mountains, and across the West Sea. They traveled no less than two thousand miles before reaching Tuyuhun's lair. The horses' leg strength has been used up a lot.
.
During continuous attacks, the war horses suffer the greatest losses. Often, after a single attack, each war horse can lose more than ten or twenty kilograms of fat. They run around non-stop every day, even if they come with the standard of one person and three horses.
Matching, rotating, and almost reaching the limit.
In addition, walking in the desert for a long time is a severe mental and physical torture for soldiers.
Su Changqing believed that if it weren't for the fact that they were an all-cavalry army, with iron palms invented by his general on the horses' hooves, and that the general had trained them on long-distance journeys, the three thousand cavalry would not have been safe.
Things have come to this.
The first thing that catches the eye is the snow-capped mountains, and the sky is dazzlingly blue.
Under the snow-capped mountain tops, there are stretches of barren alpine grasslands. These grasslands have entered the cold winter, so there is almost no sign of life.
Raging streams pour down from the mountains, eventually forming small rivers at the foot of the mountain. These small rivers do not stop at the foot of the mountain, but run into the distance almost non-stop.
The melted snow water was bitingly cold, but animals like horses were not afraid at all. They stood in the shallow water and drank with their heads lowered.
All the thirsty horses for many days were compensated at this moment.
Su Changqing sat on the stone, raised his head and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said to Jiang Mulang: "Is Golmud at the foot of the mountain?"
Jiang Mulang nodded and said: "There is no problem with the general direction, but this wasteland is thousands of miles away and may not be directly in front of us!"
Li Xiang smiled and said: "We don't know where we are, and the Tyuhun people must be the same!"
Jiang Mulang smiled and said, "That's how it should be!"
"Hahaha... That's good, let's start the conquest of Tuyuhun from here!" Su Changqing laughed loudly, with overwhelming fighting spirit. He wished he could kill all the Tuyuhun people now. Among the several captains in Gaotaicheng, he had the killing intention.
Most importantly, he was from Jincheng County. Three years ago, his family was killed by the Tuyuhun people during a threshing operation.
Li Xiang hesitated and said, "Should we call Master Wu San over and join forces with them?"
Jiang Murang thought for a while and said: "I think it's better to forget it. Master Wu San has his own ideas. If he wants to fight with us, he will come over on his own initiative. And with the skeleton army behind us, our retreat will be more secure.
