In fact, the biggest problem they faced was not that there were no people, but that the place where they fought head-on was too narrow.
This means that the so-called formations and tactics have become insignificant at the mouth of this narrow valley, and both sides can only fight in the simplest way.
Even Yu Xi felt that he had reason to believe that the Turks had not thought of any strategies at all. Compared with other roads, although Lecheng is not the closest this time, it should be the easiest to break through with manpower accumulation.
.
The Han people were cunning and good at using various tactics and strategies, so the Turks did not give the Han people this chance at all. They just wanted to fill a road with swords, guns and flesh and blood.
And after this day of fighting, Yu Xi has also seen clearly that the flags of the Turks who are almost in front are the flags of the Turks and Tutuns. In other words, those who serve as cannon fodder in the front are mainly the Turks and Tutuns.
Everyone, but the Turkic Yehu who really leads this huge tribe has not yet sent his followers into battle.
Of course, this is not a strange thing. In the eyes of the weak Turks, this is normal. After the leader and the elite of the tribe died, the Turkic Tutun tribe was actually a piece of loose sand.
, and it is their honor to be directly affiliated with the Turkic Yehu, at least it is better than being divided and annexed by several other large and small tribes.
And the protection of the Turkic Yehu is not something that can be obtained simply by getting it, which means that they also have to pay a certain price.
By capturing this small city in front of Ye Hu, he can not only avenge his leader, but also make a surrender letter and gain Ye Hu's trust.
Therefore, even if they are cannon fodder, these Turks still have a strong will to fight.
This is something Yu Xi, Hou Mi and others had never thought of before.
Wolves on the prairie and farmers naturally have different ways of thinking about the same problem.
These Turks are willing to serve as cannon fodder.
In other words, until this war has started, the main force of the Turks, that is, the Yehu Division has not yet entered the battle. Compared with the Tutun Division, the Yehu Division can be located at the forefront among the various tribes of the Turks. Originally, the Yehu Division was at the forefront of the various Turkic tribes.
It means that they are more powerful and larger, and under Ye Hu's call and the pressure of survival, they will also explode with more powerful combat power.
This small Huile City is like a small wooden wall in front of a surging flood, which may collapse thousands of miles away at any time.
But it is this small wall that blocks the fierce attacks of the Turks one after another, because for these soldiers who stand on the city wall eating ice and snow to fight with the enemy, standing here,
Blocking the enemy is not a struggle for survival.
And like the enemies under the city, they not only demand their own survival, but also the land passed down from generation to generation, as well as their family members who have just learned what it means to have food and clothing, and...
At this moment, Yu Xi felt that she had never understood some concepts so clearly.
Individuals, families, nations, and seemingly illusory dynasties and countries.
The Turks are fighting for these, and every Han soldier standing here is also fighting for these. In essence, it is difficult to determine which is right and which is wrong in this war. The struggle and contradiction between nomadic people and farming people
It's hard to say which is right or wrong. Everyone is trying to survive and survive in this chaotic world.
But Yu Xi, Hou Mi, and the countless soldiers standing on the city wall, facing the wind, did not look at this issue from the perspective of God.
So for them, there is nothing to worry about this issue, and they have no indifferent benevolence, nor do they need to have any compassion or love for the Turks.
They just need to kill these damn barbarians, in this strong wind, on this city, in front of their homes.
The sound of the horn was not messy due to the strong wind, and the Turkic army once again advanced along the valley.
Another new attack.
Hou Mi stretched out his hand to support the horse and stood up, looking into the distance, but not forward, but backward. He could hear the cheers of the soldiers behind him.
Behind them, in the white snow, a red flag suddenly jumped out of the horizon.
Under this gloomy sky, there was no sun, and the red flag was like a sun. Although it did not illuminate the river valley and the city, everyone in the city felt an indescribable warmth in their hearts.
But they were far away after all, and Hou Mi turned around.
The wind in front of me doesn't seem so cold anymore.
"Let's fight first!"
"Fight first!"
Countless soldiers shouted.

"Yang Jian still compromised." Yang Su handed Li Xingchen the news from the north. It was obvious that he was relieved.
Yang Jian had already sent an envoy to contact Li Xinchen. The envoy had just set off, but the news had already been sent to Xiangyang in an eight-hundred-mile rush. Yes, just in case, Li Xinchen came to Xiangyang in person to take charge, but this time it was
He was a simple servant in a light carriage, and he was only accompanied by his bodyguards, secretaries, supervisors, and Yang Su.
"We have grasped his seven inches. Unless he wants to defeat him to the death, compromise is inevitable." Li Xingchen said lightly. Yang Jian can endure the intolerance of ordinary people, so Li Xingchen was not surprised by his reaction.
Yang Jian was jealous of Yuwen Yong several times, and was also squeezed out by the Dugu family and plotted by Yuwen Yun in history. But in the end, because of his forbearance and lack of publicity, even Yuwen, who was considered a hero of the previous generation,
Even Yong didn't see through him, and he finally achieved great success.
At this time, Yang Jian was still able to decide what was light and what was serious, so it was not unexpected that he would react like this.
Yang Su frowned: "But what conditions will Yang Jian offer this time?"
"He can no longer throw away any land and cities, otherwise he will cede territory and seek peace, and the land and achievements gained by attacking the Turks in the north will become worthless." Li Xingchen said lightly.
No matter how powerful the Turks are, they are still just barbarians. No matter how much land they recover by going north, most of them are barren and cold places. Once Yang Jian makes concessions in the cities and lands of the Central Plains, then he will do more harm than good.
"That's money and food?" Yang Su frowned and said. In fact, Li Xingchen is not short of money and food now. With the development of Bashu, Jinghu, Jiangnan and other places, money and food are actually not a big problem anymore. Even the Han army and
The government did not have enough ability to consume all the money and food in such a fast time, which is why Yang Su and others did not object and even actively supported the army's use of force in Nanxiang. (To be continued)
