"You're going to escape?"

The heads of the three tribes of Chu Yue, Hu Lu Zhan, and Bao Dianmi looked at the past with cold faces at the same time.

They didn't expect that this small tribe that was regarded as cannon fodder would have to withdraw, and now once they were let go, the whole battle situation would have a big problem.

"We are not your subordinate tribes, and you do not represent the will of the Khan."

The leaders of several small tribes are very tough, and they have made up their minds that they must get out of the fight.

Now they can see that the Fengzhou battlefield is a quagmire, even if their entire Monan grassland tribe jointly dispatches 30,000 troops, it will be difficult to capture Fengzhou in a short time.

Moreover, these three major tribes didn't treat their small tribe as human beings at all, and only thought about taking their lives to fill the big hole in the siege!

In this way, even if the city is broken, their small tribe will still finish the calf.

Instead of a senseless death, they might as well retreat, retreat directly to the grassland, and find another way to survive.

"You ......"

Some of the three tribes immediately rose up and tried to solve the problem by force, but they were soon stopped by their respective leaders.

Now is not the time for infighting, these small tribes have a combined strength of 5,000 men, and once there is infighting, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Of course, it is impossible to make the three tribes take a step back.

According to the ideas of the three major tribes themselves, although Fengzhou has sufficient resource reserves, it is difficult to meet the needs of the entire Monan grassland, and the reason why they let the small tribes go to death first is also with the intention of reducing the spoils of war.

Now that the small tribe has decided to retreat, let them go.

The leaders of the three major tribes believe that even if there are 5,000 fewer of them, it will not affect the capture of Fengzhou, and it is a big deal to change a batch of cannon fodder.

In this way, the Turkic offensive against Toyosu suddenly slowed down, and a gap appeared in the continuous flow of troops that were rushing towards the city walls.

This is clearly an intention to retreat.

"This is going to be withdrawn?"

Li Yan was slightly stunned, he was just about to destroy several siege ladders and siege towers, but he saw that the Turkic forces did not continue to follow, so he had to temporarily stop what he was doing.

"Clear the walls and stand by in place."

Li Yan gave a new order.

The well-trained Toyoshu army immediately went into action, the array of sword and shield soldiers opened a gap, and the soldiers behind stepped forward and began to clean up the Turkic corpses on the city wall.

Peel off the leather armor, remove the scimitar, and throw the corpse under the city, a series of actions that are called a smooth flow.

One after another the corpses of the Turks were thrown from the city walls, stunned by the Turks who were gathering not far away.

Now the planned second group of attackers is retreating, and a new group of medium-sized tribesmen is filling the position.

Obviously, the Turks did not intend to stop the offensive and were still preparing to capture the city of Toyosu in one fell swoop.

It's just that this scene of throwing corpses obviously caught the Turks a little off guard, you know, this round of attacking the city wall has a full 2,000 troops.

These two thousand troops died so quietly and lifelessly? What did the defenders of Toyosu do?

The Turks couldn't imagine the scene on the city wall at all, but they couldn't help but feel a little fear from the bottom of their hearts.

They feared that they would soon become one of the corpses that would be dumped.

"Continue the siege!"

The temporary chain of command of the three tribes issued orders, and the war began again.

It's just that now the strength of the Turks has changed dramatically from when they came.

When they came, there were a total of 30,000 people, and on the way, they were overshadowed by Li Yan's trap and more than 1,000 people, and later more than 1,000 people fell in the first siege, and more than 2,000 corpses were left in the siege just now.

So far, they have lost 5,000 troops, and with the 5,000 troops of several tribes that announced their retreat, the Turks' strength has been reduced by a full 10,000!

Although the people of the three major tribes were still calm, they didn't know that there were 3,000 reinforcements brought by Cheng Yanjin in Fengzhou.

9,000 people defending the city and 20,000 attacking the city are actually not too much of a disadvantage.

It can be said that even if there is no Li Yan in Fengzhou now, if you change the command of a high-level general at will, you can barely defend this city and not be easily captured.

But now it is Li Yan who is defending the city, what he wants has never been to defend the city reluctantly, what Li Yan wants is actually to do his best to keep the incoming Turks.

As long as he can deal with the more than 20,000 troops of the Turks in winter, then by the beginning of spring, he will have the opportunity to lead the troops of Fengzhou to sweep the entire Monan grassland!

If Li Yan had swelled up a little more, trained more than 3,000 elite cavalry, and took advantage of the weakness of the Turks after suffering from the snow disaster in the beginning of spring, he directly led his troops across the Gobi and won the Mobei king's tent, and it may not be impossible to seal the wolf Juxu.

Therefore, Li Yancai has always shown weakness to the enemy, constantly tempting the Turks to attack the city, reducing their forces, and did not choose to directly attack and destroy all the siege equipment with his own strength.

"The Turks are infighting!"

Beside Li Yan, Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, and he could roughly judge from afar that the Turks had withdrawn about 5,000 troops.

Cheng Biting Jin's pressure has finally been relieved a lot, and it is not impossible to defend 20,000 people with 9,000 people.

"Archers, round-robiners, sword and shield soldiers ready to defend the walls."

When Cheng Yanjin relieved the pressure, he saw that Li Yan didn't seem to have any mood fluctuations, and he was still calmly commanding the battle, and he immediately praised Li Yan in his heart.

"With such a steady mentality, he is really a generation of handsome talents, worthy of being the son of His Majesty."

Cheng Yanjin's opinion of Li Yan has once again risen to a higher level.

Previously, Cheng Yanjin could only see Li Yan's talent for training and terrifying personal force, but now he saw Li Yan's talent for commanding troops.

Now Cheng Yanjin is very sure that as long as Li Yan can survive this winter, he will definitely be able to shine in the Tang Army.

At that time, even if Li Shimin and Li Yan recognize each other, Li Yan will still be able to obtain a very high status by virtue of his talent and military exploits.

Li Yan didn't know Cheng Yanjin's thoughts, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care too much.

After all, Li Yan had never considered the situation that Fengzhou City would not be able to hold it.

"Zhang Dazhu, pick up a few of those things."

Li Yan looked at the Turks who had once again attacked the city, and began to tell Zhang Dazhu to move those iron pieces.

Next, Li Yan will put at least 2,000 Turks on the city wall, and he will destroy half of the siege ladders and siege towers under the most extreme circumstances, so as to slow down the speed of the Turks pouring into the city wall.

For Li Yan, this does not seem to be a bloody war, but a mathematical problem of two water pipes draining water.

In this case, the Turks were the water that was put in, and the Turks who were harvested on the walls and then thrown away were the ones that were discarded.

The total number of Turks is 20,000, and the capacity on the city wall is 3,000, and the speed of throwing corpses Li Yan is calculating by feeling.

All in all, as long as Li Yan can do this "simple" math problem well, then the Turks will feel the fear of being completely dominated......
