324, Bloody Battle of the Royal Court (I)

That night, as the commissar expected, the invading coalition forces did send men to clean up the horse carcasses.

When they cleared all the way to a close range of about eighty paces, the soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate shot indiscriminately at the black light, and the other party left after leaving a large wave of corpses.

Early the next morning, Ye Hu personally began to assemble his army, and he couldn't wait to storm into the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion! It was the former Turkic royal court, and for the Western Turkic khans, their expectations for the royal court never stopped. You know, this place is really like the meaning of the jade seal to the emperor passed down by the Han people!

Yi Nan, Hui Khan, Ju Wentai, the three of them were also extremely eager to attack the Turkic court. As long as the guys who surrendered to Li Er in the Duhu Mansion are defeated, on the grassland, the rest will not matter! Even if Li Er personally led the army to come, there was no threat from the other party to take his own hands.

Not to mention that Li Er only had a big war last year, does he have the economic strength to fight another big war this year, and even if there is, how many people will Li Er send?

Four hundred thousand?

Or 600,000?

How many cavalry can there be?

Fifty thousand? Or 100,000?

Even if Li Er can raise 200,000 cavalry, what can he do? The grassland is so big, we can avoid its edge! Waiting for this winter to pass, you can arm more men and horses, at that time, will you still be afraid of Li Er?

At that time, the steppe ...... Not the world of the steppe people?

No!

That's the world of the Tiele people!

Dadu set his fists tightly, and couldn't help but diverge his thoughts in his heart! First destroy the armed forces of the Tang people on the grassland, and then turn around and kill Ye Hu, and then kill Hui!

That's the ultimate plan!

Do you really think that my Tiele people only have 50,000 cavalry?

Hehe!

As long as I get the war horse on the opposite side, my big iron le can still arm 100,000!

"Let's go!"

The Leaf Protector waved his arm on the horse, and the horn sounded again!

......

"Alert!"

"Alert!"

Two miles away, the Metropolitan Protectorate had once again lined up in formation, and the heralds were galloping in front of each phalanx on horseback, leaving two words "on alert"!

If you can take a bird's eye view, you will definitely find that the defense cavalry of the capital protection palace looks like there are a lot of people, but in fact, only the first few rows of phalanxes are wearing leather armor, and a large group of people in the back are only wearing clothes made of sheepskin.

They are not soldiers!

It's the young man who made the decision to temporarily transfer the young man who stayed!

All the generals of the Prefecture believed that the Prefecture could not be lost, at least until the herdsmen who went to Shuofang were out of danger. Those old and weak, those women and children, those children are the seeds of the Turks, the seeds of the Tang Turkic people!

"Click!"

"Click!"

The allied forces of the Leaf Protector began to move forward, and the sound of "click" soon turned into a roar!

A mile or two away, it is only a matter of a short time for the horses to run!

With a width of more than 200 steps, the attacking enemy is like a giant python with its head tilted, spitting letters, and opening its mouth wide!

The distance between the two sides is getting shorter and shorter!

One hundred steps!

Eighty steps!

The coalition forces were a little surprised, why didn't those Li Er's watchdogs give themselves a rain of arrows?

But isn't that right?

"The enemy is right in front of you!"

One of the commanders at the front of the charge drew his scimitar: "Cut those watchdogs!" The steppe is a wolf cub! ”

"Kill!!"

It was at this time that on the watchtower, the political commissar waved the red signal flag in his hand vigorously!

The soldiers of the first few phalanxes of the Metropolitan Protectorate raised their bows at once!

"Shoot!"

The arrows of more than a dozen phalanxes smashed into the enemy's ranks like a torrential rain, and the middle of the ranks suddenly turned on their backs!

Where is the defense, the soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate do not shoot arrows at a distance of eighty paces, which is clearly to wait for a part to come over, and then shoot in the middle! It's like hitting a snake by seven inches, breaking the enemy's entire team in two.

The commander at the front couldn't help but glance behind him, only to find that the team of 1,000 people he was leading was cut off!

Stop it!

Gotta stop!

There was no follow-up force, and a thousand people rushed into the opponent's defensive ranks, and the waves couldn't lift a single one!

Before he could give the order, the commander suddenly felt that he was shaking the world! Turning his head to look, he realized that he had already taken off into the air! The war horse that was supposed to be under his crotch was falling into a wide ravine at this time!

Cunning watchdog!

I dug a ditch and filled it with turf!

That was the commander's last thought, and he slammed into the next trench, where he was pierced by the sharp wood.

Not only the commanders, but also the cavalry of the Thousand Western Turks fell into the trenches, some of them were pierced by wooden thorns, and some were crushed to death by their own horses!

"Withdraw!"

Ye Hu decisively gave the order to retreat, and the minefield cleared was only two hundred paces, which made the attacking army only two hundred horsemen side by side at most!

This is exactly in the range of the opponent's arrow rain, the enemy only needs a wave of arrow rain to shoot in the middle, to cut off the team, the back is blocked by the dead horse in the middle, and the front cannot retreat.

What can I do if I don't withdraw my money?

The enemy's retreat once again boosted the morale of the Metropolitan Protectorate!

However, this is obviously only temporary!

The retreating enemy troops immediately arranged for more inferior horses to widen the road, and in just one morning, the enemy army once again cleared a width of two hundred paces!

As if the enemy had to storm the Togo Mansion today, it was midday that they were still clearing the minefield.

The sound of "boom" kept ringing, and every time it sounded, the commissar's heart tugged!

At the end of the day, the minefield finally stopped ringing, and the horse's corpse lay a full six hundred paces wide!

This means that if the opponent attacks with all his might, one row can put in 600 horsemen at a time! With such a wide distance, the Metropolitan Protectorate could no longer defend with arrows.

It was not only the minefields cleared by the local area that were the biggest headache for the commissar, but the cavalry-turned-infantry enemies who rushed forward with small round shields in their hands.

They wrapped themselves in round shields, wrapped their companions and slowly advanced, and then lifted the carcasses of those horses and threw them into the trenches!

The night finally came after the other party had filled in the trenches, which made the political commissar who had been nervous finally breathe a sigh of relief. At night, the enemy couldn't figure out the situation of the capital, so he shouldn't have attacked, and it was delayed for another day!

But that's just a sigh of relief!

Tomorrow and tomorrow, how tragic it will be, you can imagine!

The fifth day of the siege!

As soon as the sky was bright, the other party's horn sounded, and at the first dawn of winter, the invading enemy army rushed like a larger black python with its head cocked, sticking out its tongue and snake letter!

"Everyone in the eighth battalion of the Metropolitan Protectorate obeys the order!"

The broken Turkic phrase sounded: "Limao! ”
