In the evening, the elite wolf cavalry of the Turks suddenly launched a fierce offensive towards the Qingshui River Valley.

For a time, the battle on the outskirts of the valley was extremely fierce. After a long period of attrition, the defenders of the outer sub-cities were exhausted and tired, interspersed the siege between the various castles, cutting off the echo and support between the castles, and then launched an attack on the besieged castle.

Although the Turkic wolf cavalry is not good at attacking fortifications, both in terms of equipment and fighting will, it is far better than the Zahu herdsmen who used to consume the combat effectiveness of the defenders. Especially in the several sub-cities stationed on the periphery, there are not many arrows in the city, and the rear has not had time to replenish.

The wolf riders dismounted and put on their armor, and then rushed to the castle, and when they reached the bottom of the castle, they destroyed the outer walls of the castle with iron cones and sledgehammers.

Most of these small cities are made of local materials and rammed earth walls, although the earth walls are dry and hard over stones, but after all, there are still weak points, once the enemy forces close to the city walls to destroy, the defensive situation has become precarious.

Although the defenders of the city still had the advantage of settling down condescendingly, the wolf cavalry on the periphery continued to shoot around the city, suppressing the counterattack on the city to the point that it could not raise its head.

"Kill the thief and kill the country, that is, on this day!"

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, some of the commanders of the city defenders personally led more than half of the guards down the city and mounted their horses, opened the city gates and rushed out before the Turks completely destroyed the city walls.

Such scenes were staged in many places, and some of the Tang troops defending the city were lucky, successfully repelling the wolf horsemen who were clinging to the city and destroying the outer walls, and retreated to the city to rest before the Turks increased their troops. The arrows fell like rain on the head of the city, and no one could get close, and the cavalry in the city who were waiting to attack tacitly cooperated.

Others did not have this good luck, and the number of arrows in the city was too large to cover the attacking cavalry comrades.

So when the cavalry had gone out of the gates, the rest of the defenders, after having shot all the remaining arrows, went down the city wall, retreated to the barn in the center of the castle, lit the firewood that had been prepared, threw the useless bow into the fire, drew their sabers, and lined up at the entrance of the wall passage leading to the barn.

The Turkic wolf cavalry was the most elite Khan guard, and they were all the best choice among the clan, and their armament was even more sophisticated than that of ordinary Tang soldiers. They had been gathering their morale for a long time, and once the defenders had been forced out of the city, they entered the rhythm of the battle that they were familiar with.

When the Tang army defending the city rushed out of the city gate, the Turkic armor soldiers under the city leaned against the wall to support their shields to avoid being crushed by the Tang army. At the same time, the Turkic cavalry who were cruising and blocking outside the city defense horse line also drew their bows and shot at the Tang army, and gradually approached on horseback.

"Forward!"

After a quick survey of the battlefield situation, the commander of the defenders of the city made a decision, the Turkic thieves came prepared, and when the internal and external echoes had been lost, leaving the city meant abandoning the city.

In such a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the mobility is compressed, guerrilla warfare will only become more and more weak, and the only way to win is to rush head-on, engage head-on, wrestle in the field, and win with courage.

Seeing that the Tang army was not afraid of death, the Turkic cavalry avoided a head-to-head confrontation, but roamed around the valley between the castles to escape.

As a result, the Tang army, which went out to pursue, was in a dilemma, either to return to the castle and fall into the predicament of fighting separately again, or to continue to chase the Turkic wolf cavalry in order to be able to integrate the forces of the cities.

The Turks did not have many wolf riders, but due to their high mobility, they were able to revitalize the battle when they joined the battle.

The castle that the Zahu herdsmen could not break for a long time, when the wolf rode into the battlefield, it brought great pressure to the Tang army defending the city, and with the consumption of equipment, it was difficult to continue to defend the city, and it was necessary to change the rhythm and mode of battle.

The wolf rider is better than the clutch, and is able to choose the target of the attack at will. The cavalry and herdsmen who had been invested in the early stage did not withdraw from the battlefield, and when the defenders were forced out, they played a confusing effect.

Some of the castle guards were forced out and then led away by the wolf riders, leaving the castle as empty as it had been before. The herdsmen, who had already panicked to death, began to frantically rush towards the castle.

Soon, thick smoke burned in some castles. Some castles were completely destroyed, and the remaining sergeants set fire to the city's treasury.

As the first smoke rose, two more plumes of smoke rose into the sky, creating a zigzag in the Qingshui Valley, meaning that three castles were lost in a short period of time after the wolf rider joined the battle.

There was little shelter between the river valleys, and when these three thick clouds of smoke rose, almost the enemy and us in the entire theater of war could see them.

The Turkic thieves were naturally ecstatic when they saw this, they had been entangled with the Tang army for so long in this river valley, and they had never broken through, and now the wolf riders joined the battlefield, and in less than a quarter of an hour, three Tang castles were breached.

Especially in the past period of time, they have already inquired clearly, and these sub-cities in the Qingshui River Valley are the core of the entire Yuanzhou to collect materials. So those few puffs of smoke are wealth for them.

At this time, not only the Turkic army was ecstatic, but also the Hu people who had been captured and coerced also rushed in the direction of the rising smoke. They may not have the guts to snatch the spoils of war right under the noses of the Turks, but the rise of smoke always means a turning point.

Whether this battle is won by the Tang people or by the Turks, it has nothing to do with them, they are just pond fish who have been affected. Continuing to stay on the battlefield is only to be wantonly driven and killed, and rushing into the castle can be covered up a little.

"Stop, stop! You thieves, can't you want to die? ”

The Turkic cavalry who were originally responsible for driving these Huhu shouted loudly, and wanted to continue to control the direction of these herdsmen's movements, but even if they whipped and slashed, those Hu people still rushed towards the city that had already been breached.

At the same time, the Tang Army's big city in the middle of the river valley suddenly sounded a rapid sound of drums and horns, and the sound soon spread to the four fields, and in an instant, all the cities responded.

Accompanied by the sound of drums and horns, the gates of each sub-city were suddenly opened, and the defenders of the sub-cities, who were originally defending themselves, had already put on their armor and mounted their horses, and their iron hooves were thundering, squeezing straight towards the war zone in front of the center.

At this time, looking down from mid-air, the Turkic wolf cavalry was still rushing left and right, like a dragon, but the auxiliaries who were originally scattered on the battlefield were concentrated into three teams and headed towards the three breached cities, so this Turkic wolf rode on the battlefield and became a lone army.

On the contrary, the Tang defenders, who had fallen into passivity because of the need to defend the city, regained the initiative at this time, and more than a dozen cavalry teams rushed out of their respective castles and rushed towards the Turkic wolf cavalry in the central theater from all directions.

"Withdraw, withdraw! It's a trap! The Tang people are treacherous, and they use the city to lure me to divide my strength! ”

In the battlefield, the originally unstoppable Turkic wolf riders also quickly discovered that something was wrong, and they were originally separated and scattered on the battlefield, as if they were in a no-man's land. But once the auxiliary department was withdrawn, Tang soldiers and horses appeared in all directions, and they suddenly became a group of living targets.

Therefore, a tall and burly commander in the ranks, Tutun, who had colored satin braided hair, shouted loudly.

Although the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and some human voices around him had long been dispersed and drowned out by the sound waves, and could not be transmitted at all, after the Turkic general shouted the military order, the guards around him immediately fired a sound of the dwarf, and a sharp whistle sounded through the air.

The commanders in charge of the horn orders in the team also blew horns to restrain the soldiers, and the whole team quickly completed the transformation of the military order and retreated to the periphery of the battlefield.

However, the Tang army also struggled to defend the fighters, so how could they let this Turkic elite quickly withdraw from the battlefield, so the men and horses of the sub-cities continued to accelerate forward without regard to horsepower after seeing that the Turkic wolf cavalry had completed the turn.

The Tang army, which rushed out of the city, did not pay attention to the coordination of military formations and tactics, but only controlled the war horses, tightly clamped the spears, and rode straight towards the Turkic wolves from all directions.

With such an offensive, all clutch changes are useless. Although in actual comparison, the Turkic Wolf Cavalry, as an elite Khan guard, is superior to the defenders of Yuanzhou in both armament and combat effectiveness. After all, Datang has a vast territory, and it is impossible to have elite troops in all states, and if it is really a field fight, it may not be the opponent of this group of wolf riders.

But now, more than a dozen teams rushed out from their respective strongholds, and the horsepower of the war horses exploded in an instant, like a series of sharp arrows, piercing the cavalry battle formation of the Turkic wolf horseman.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, blood splattered, carrying a powerful spear blade that was pointed at and worn by everyone.

The elite wolf riders who were originally exquisitely coordinated were directly pierced and pierced by unreasonable people, and they may all be warriors in the desert, carefully selected by the Khan, wearing elite armor, and guarding their elite guards.

But now, it is being pierced and harvested like grass and trees. With this single momentum, dozens of Turkic wolf riders were killed by the impact. Of course, the losses of the Tang army were also not small, and even comparable to each other, after all, this kind of high-speed sprint was extremely risky to both the enemy and us.

However, this round of killing by the Tang Army directly reversed the situation on the battlefield and severely frustrated the fierce flames of these wolf riders.

Moreover, under the high-speed impact of the Tang army, not only chiseled through the Turkic cavalry formation, but also directly tore more than 200 wolf knights out of the brigade. After the more than 200 wolf horsemen were separated, they were quickly interspersed and wrapped by the Tang army, and remained on the battlefield here forever.

"Erlang is heroic, and he can finally wash away the humiliation of the city!"

Located on the tower of Qingshuizi City in the middle of the river valley, Yuanzhou Thorn Shi ascended to the top and overlooked the battle situation on the Pinggu Valley a few miles away, and couldn't help but high-five and applaud the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy outside the city, and at the same time ordered: "Send another 500 troops to attack and expel the wolf riders!" ”

As early as more than ten days ago, the Qingshui River Valley had been storing the power of this blow, and the wolf rode into the net, but was frustrated and retreated, which was undoubtedly a great boost to the morale of the defenders of this realm.

However, at this moment, on the periphery of the river valley, outside of those three thick smokes, several puffs of smoke rose into the sky one after another, which means that not long ago, several sub-cities on the periphery were broken one after another!

The Tang army thought it was the wolf cavalry on the battlefield of the main Turkic force, and it turned out to be the same bait used by the Turks to induce the Tang army to gather troops to attack, so as to create fighters and continue to conquer Zicheng!

"No matter! Keep killing, kill all the remaining wolf riders on the battlefield! ”

Looking at the newly rising smoke, Feng Jingyu gritted his teeth and ordered to continue attacking. The number of Turkic wolf riders is small, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, killing one is one less.
