Behind the sound of the horn, a completely different sound of drums suddenly sounded.
If the sound of the horn echoing in the valley is more deep and angry, then the sound of the drum is stirring and roaring!
"Dong dong dong!"
The drums were very rhythmic, hitting the cliffs and echoing in the river valleys. The frozen river seemed to feel the call of the drums at this time. This mother river that gave birth to this nation seemed unable to restrain itself from being frozen.
His body was filled with rolling waves that were echoing under the ice, as if they would break out of the ice at any time.
Immediately, the drum beat became faster and faster, like the crackling sound of a storm sweeping through the jungle, or like thousands of troops galloping and charging in the endless wilderness.
In the blood and fire, Yu Xi held the horse in one hand and the horizontal knife in the other. At this moment, he raised his head and looked behind the boundless darkness and the wave of Turkic charges, looking at the person he had never dared to hope for.
of the South.
During the fight, Hou Mi kicked away a Turk who rushed towards him. Regardless of the blood all over his body, he raised his head when he heard the sound of the drum.
Thousands of Han soldiers who were fighting and the common people who had just gained freedom also raised their heads.
Countless eyes passed through the darkness and carnage, through the enemies and the strong wind, and saw the same bright flames rising in the distance.
Now on the other side of the valley, Yu Yi and Cao Zhong also launched an attack.
Originally this was just a suicidal attack by Yu Xi, Hou Mi and others, but now it has undoubtedly turned into a large-scale counterattack launched by the Han army from both ends at the same time.
Yu Xi and Hou Mi did not know that shortly after they entered the camp, the war situation in the south also changed.
"These two little bastards really brought miracles!" At this time, standing on the wall of Huile City, which was already riddled with holes, Yu Xi watched the Turkic flags roll back, and also looked at countless big men.
The soldiers rushed out directly from the broken part of the city wall, marching towards the north where they had fought hard for so many days, where countless Paoze brothers had fallen.
In fact, just now, the battle had reached a critical moment. The Turkic cavalry charged at the gap in the city wall with a desperate attitude. Although the Han crossbowmen had tried their best, after all, there was a huge gap in numbers between the two sides. Of course, the arrows could not be fired.
It can stop the first row of Turkic cavalry, but there are more coming up behind.
Soon the city wall defense line was lost, and then the two sides sawed along the three low walls in the city. The cavalry continued to attack, and the Han infantry also continued to counterattack. The battle extended from behind the city wall to in front of the third low wall, and even really
A small group of Turks broke through the defense line of the parapet and almost rushed to the trebuchet position behind the parapet.
Fortunately, the Ministry of Works officials on the trebuchet position did not hesitate to hold the sword and swarm forward with the soldiers and craftsmen who controlled the trebuchet, and defeated this group of people who had slipped through the net. Otherwise, what kind of rout might have happened.
It can be said that this battle has reached this point. Even if it is already dark, no one wants to retreat. The Turkic cavalry just continues to charge forward with torches, and the few remaining houses in the city are also set on fire.
Like huge torches one after another, lighting up the tragic battlefields throughout the city.
The corpses of both sides of the city, as well as the broken sword carts, shields, etc., were spread all over the city. After the people and horses trampled on them, the snow on the ground had been mixed with blood, ice, and more mud.
, forming a color that is hard to describe.
The Turks did not want to retreat, and the Han soldiers were even more vigilant. A large number of soldiers behind them were always waiting to rush forward to fill the gap if someone fell in front.
Of course, the soldiers below are fighting bloody battles, but as the commander-in-chief, Yu Yi, Cao Zhong, Xu Deyan and others have to consider a very serious issue. If the fight continues like this, I am afraid that all the troops and horses will be consumed. Not to mention here
, and it is very likely that the whole line will collapse due to the concentrated breakthrough of the Turks.
After all, if the craftsmen had not been more or less bloody just now, I am afraid that the Turks would have already passed the last trebuchet position and rushed to the camp behind.
Just when Yu Yi and others were already thinking about whether they really wanted to retreat, the battle situation finally took a turn. Looking at the fire rising in the darkness in the north, it didn't take much to think about it. It must be Yu Xi and Hou Mi who launched the attack.
attack.
And as if to answer the doubts of Yu Yi and others, the Turkic cavalry, which was about to rush to the first line of defense, slowly began to retreat amidst the low sound of horns. This showed that the Turks were really attacked from behind.
Yu Yi and Cao Zhong issued the order to counterattack almost at the same time. The soldiers who were tired from the long battle were replaced. The soldiers behind who were waiting to join the flesh and blood mill followed the red dragon flag and continued to advance.
In order to inform Yu Xi and Hou Mi of their actions, Cao Zhong immediately ordered the drums to be beaten. This was the source of the drum sound that Yu Xi and the others heard. Yu Yi even rushed to the city wall in person to direct the counterattack against the Turks.
"I don't know what the situation is over there." Xu Deyan strode up to the city wall and said worriedly, "Now that we have driven the Turks out of the city, should we take the opportunity to counterattack?"
"It was not us who drove them out, but the Turks who retreated on their own. There is no need to say it so nicely." Yu Xi said lightly, "What do you think?"
"That's the problem. If Yu Xi and Hou Mi are just causing trouble, or even preparing to retreat, then if we attack like this," Xu Deyan paused, "then it's no different from dying. But if we don't attack and simply let
This is also the case when they attack..."
Now that the two armies are isolated in the north and south, if you want to give the Turks a fatal blow, they must attack from both sides. But without any contact, can you just rely on tacit understanding to attack? If one side does not move and the other side moves, then
It undoubtedly gave the Turks every opportunity to defeat them, which was simply a nightmare.
But this is because all the calculations and calculations are impossible to calculate accurately. Who knows what those two guys are doing. If so many infantry rush out directly, but the Turkic cavalry turns around, they may return to Lecheng.
Falling faster than before.
"I believe them." Yu Yi said calmly.
Xu Deyan was startled for a moment and looked at the old general.
"We have already reached the edge of a narrow escape just now. Being able to push back the Turks has already fulfilled our dream. Since we have already died once, why should we be afraid?" Yu Yi smiled, "If you let me choose, fight
It is better to die on the road of charging than to die on the road of retreating step by step!"
"We won't die." Xu Deyan laughed, "Old general, it's time to kill the enemy!" (To be continued)
