At dawn, it was a time when people's spirits were lax and tired, and after half a night of drumming, the defenders in the castle could not help but be even more lax, and those who were straight at night at the head of the city even simply slept against the wall, so that the Tang army directly invaded the outside of the city before waking up suddenly.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! The Tang army is coming, quickly resist the enemy! ”

The guards shouted warnings and quickly sounded the alarm, but despite this, the city's defenders still dragged their reactions.

Seeing the neatly armored Tang army approaching the city defense, the few straight night guards nervously grabbed their bows and arrows and shot them again and again, but how could the weapons they use compare to the Tang army's sophistication, and the chaotic arrows breaking through the air looked quite terrifying, but most of them lost their accuracy after shooting a certain distance, even if the stray arrows were lucky enough to hit the Tang army's armor, they did not have the strength to break the armor at all.

"Take the ladder and take the city!"

Feng Jingyu, the assassin of Yuanzhou, held his sword to supervise the battle, and the soldiers saw that the defenders' long-range damage was really not high, so they simply threw aside the shields they were wearing and began to rush quickly towards the arrow towers at the four corners of the castle.

There is a secret door buried in the tower that leads directly into the castle, which is also a convenient gateway left at the beginning of the castle's construction, and it is used for this purpose today. If the Don army was stationed here, even Turkic soldiers with good bows and knives would not allow the enemy to approach here quickly.

But even if the Turks had a surplus of weapons, how could they be distributed to these temporary miscellaneous servants. There is no long-range suppression at the head of the city, no matter how much you shout and warn, there is still no way to stop the Tang army from approaching.

Below the castle's turret, the walls that looked like ordinary rammed earth peeled off after being smashed with the back of a knife, revealing the wooden planks.

After the passage was opened, dozens of elite soldiers of the Tang army rushed in, and soon formed a military formation inside the city wall. They formed a small plum blossom formation that leaned on each other inside and outside, the spears in the inner array were piercing, the swords were flying in the outer array, and many Hu pawns who rushed to respond to the enemy were either pierced or cut down. Soon, blood bloomed in this corner of the castle!

A sub-city will be broken in a moment. The piercing warning sound in the city also spread to the four fields, and there were a large number of Hu people camps outside the city, after perceiving the conclusive enemy traces, some people even faintly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, at least the trouble in the middle of the night was not all fruitless, the Tang army really attacked!

However, after hearing the warning, those Hu people did not come to the aid immediately, one was in a hurry and could not distinguish the strength of the Tang army's attack, and the other was that the Mo Si Khan ordered the lost camp to be killed. As long as they don't lose their own camp, they really don't care too much about the life and death of the guards in the city.

But after the warning in this city, it was not completely without rescue. Soon the sound of galloping horses sounded on the road between the camps illuminated by the fire, and it was the Turkic cavalry who heard the news that they had come out of the camp to attack.

"The city is in formation, and the city is restored first!"

The Tang army was planning a counterattack, and the sub-city selected was not remote, located in a more conspicuous position in the river valley, once it gained a firm foothold in this city, it could bring great panic to the surrounding Hu people, and the cavalry would rush to kill, and then circle and kill, and continue to expand the results of the battle.

The soldiers of the Tang army who attacked divided into two routes, and continued to penetrate the city all the way, expanding the killing and wounding of the defenders in the city, so that the defenders in the city could not concentrate on taking care of the outside. On the other hand, a formation was set up between the castle and the ditch, with guns lined up in a forest, shields lined up in a wall, and swords lined up in formation, waiting for the Turkic cavalry to advance.

In the uncertain vision, soon there was a group of Turkic cavalry, the camp was mixed, they did not dare to gallop at night, although they heard the warning and came out of the camp to attack, but when they arrived here, not only the Tang army outside the city was already in full battle, but even the city appeared on the head of the Tang army and the soldiers who defended the city.

"Whoever offends my Tang family city, die!"

Feng Jingyu, the assassin of Yuanzhou in armor, stood in the array, and he could be elected as the official of Yuanzhou, and he was by no means a weak scholar, he was the Zhilie Qiushuang Branch and the first in the reign of Gaozong Yifeng, and his resume was similar to that of Lou Shide, and he was tired of the border state, and there was no lack of experience in the Weifu Yi Department.

The Tang army's place was already difficult to attack, and the Turkic cavalry did not take the initiative to charge after lingering for a while, but blocked the place with scattered men and horses, and ordered the Hu soldiers in the city to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

But the guards in the city were already in a hurry to respond to the enemy, both morale and armament were down, not because they didn't want to kill, but they really couldn't kill them. Although the Tang army entering the city was only a few hundred, the battle formation was strong, and if it was touched, it would be injured.

On the other hand, although the guards in the city were several times larger than the Tang army entering the city, their orders were inconsistent, and the army was scattered, so they could not form an effective counterattack formation at all. The Tang army was outnumbered, but it still dared to divide its troops and attack, and went straight to the place where the people and horses in the city gathered.

"The Tang army is fierce and invincible! Get out of the city and outnumbered! ”

After trying to shout, Chief Hu, who hurriedly put on his armor, saw that it was really difficult for his troops to organize again, so he simply gave up his plan to kill the enemy in the city, and quickly walked towards the city gate under the arch of his cronies.

Fortunately, those Tang troops only concentrated on attacking and killing the places where people gathered, and did not carefully judge the identity of the thieves, and soon killed a large area of thieves scattered, and it was difficult to gather.

The gates of the city slowly opened, and the Turkic cavalry who had been blockading the area by the rangers outside the city saw that the defenders of the city were about to break out, so they drew their bows and strings, and the oil-soaked rockets were fired on the firewood piled up outside the city.

The fire soon grew stronger, and soon a raging wall of fire was pulled up outside the city gate, and some of the Hu pawns who rushed out of the city at the forefront could not dodge, and were licked by the tongue of fire in an instant, and the robes on their bodies were quickly ignited, turning into fireballs and wailing to the ground.

Seeing that the Turkic cavalry were so ruthless, those Hu vassals were stunned for a while, and cursed loudly for Turkic injustice. The Tang army, which was waiting for the enemy, was also shocked for a while after seeing this, and soon assassinated Shi Feng Jingyu and said loudly: "Blow the horn, withdraw the army, turn to attack other cities, and don't fall in love with the war!" ”

Originally, they captured this sub-city to provide a support base for the cavalry who would attack later, but they didn't expect the Turks to be so vicious that they burned the city with people, although the terrain of the river valley has its own dependence, and the fire is difficult to spread throughout the city, but in a short period of time, this sub-city will definitely not be able to provide support for the cavalry.

Not to mention the feelings of the outsiders in this sub-city, when the guards of other neighboring cities saw this scene, they were also terrified for a while, and they really couldn't imagine that the Turkic gangsters had already had a big advantage, and they actually made this kind of sinister act of burning and killing their comrades, so for a while, the Hu chiefs who were guarding other sub-cities also shouted loudly: "Out of the city, out of the city!" ”

"Mosping this dog thief, it's really vicious! He disregards human life and does not regard us as party members at all! ”

The small chieftains of Tuyuhun not far away were also shocked at this moment, especially Murong Haoli realized the problem at the first time: "Mo Si is extremely vicious and kills the party members, he has no intention of withdrawing the army from the old way at all!" He just wants to lure us and other subordinate ministries to fight with the imperial court, and delay the pursuit for him! ”

Murong Haoli was quite conceited about his intelligence, thinking that he would only be subject to Mo Si if he was not as powerful, but he didn't expect that Mo Si's cunning and ferocity were far beyond his imagination.

He thought that in order to strengthen the Turkic power, Mo Si would have to be more or less gentle and rely on the Zhuhu people, but Mo Si only treated them as one-time consumables from beginning to end!

Zhu Hu is afraid of power but not morality, and silently sobs as one of the leaders, this truth can be said to be familiar to the heart. At present, the Turks are far from recovering the power that dominated the desert in the past, and only by winning by unscrupulous means again and again can they grow stronger as soon as possible.

As for whether Zhuhu would rebel and isolate him because of these methods, he was not worried at all, and only when he was truly strong did he need to consider this kind of problem. When he is already strong enough to truly fight against the Tang Kingdom, he will change to another face, and those Hu tribes will naturally return to him.

The ruthless methods of the Turks were so frightened that the city guards abandoned the city one after another, and the Hu people who camped in the wilderness no longer dared to have illusions about the Turks and began to flee beyond the camp.

But at this time, the tent of the silent sip was set up on the slope at the exit of the river valley, where thousands of elite Turkic troops were also displayed.

When his true intentions were revealed, Mo Si no longer needed to make false promises with those Hu chieftains, and ordered the Turkic soldiers to block the exit of the river valley, so that those Hu people would flee and make noise inside the river valley, and continue to attack the Tang army's defenses!

"Retreat, silently sip ruthlessly, this night is already invincible!"

Being in the middle of the battlefield, seeing such a chaotic situation, Feng Jingyu, the assassin of Yuanzhou, knew that it was no longer difficult to perform this night, and it was difficult to restrain these Hu vassals who had become completely noisy, and even if the Tang army rushed out again, it would be difficult to drive them to attack the Turkic front.

Seeing this, the Tang soldiers could only withdraw regretfully and return to defend the castle they were still controlling. It's just that after a night of noise, no one dares to be optimistic about what tomorrow will look like.

At this time, outside the Khan's tent, Luo Teqin, the commander of the wolf cavalry, looked at the chaos in the river valley from afar, and there was a look of excitement between his eyebrows, and when his eyes turned back to the back of the Khan standing in front of him, his expression turned to respect, and he knelt down on one knee and beat his chest and said: "The minister misunderstood the Khan, thinking that the Khan was intimate with foreigners, but he did not pay attention to the warriors of his headquarters. It turned out that the Khan had a profound plan, and he had long planned to let those foreigners and the Tang army attack and kill each other! Foolish ministers, please condemn the Khan! ”

After hearing the words, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "The pain of destroying the country and becoming a slave is sad. Since my brother has assumed the mandate of heaven and wants to restore the glory of the khanate, how can he be a brother if he has not yet accomplished great things! You are my brother's arm, and I can tolerate your offense, but if I want my brother to distance myself from me, I will cut off my hands and feet and let him follow me forever! ”

"Don't dare! The minister was Ye Hu's servant and the Khan's most loyal eagle dog. ”

After hearing this, Luo Teqin hurriedly said again.

"The Hu tribe is not allowed to rush out of the river valley, and tomorrow they will enter the valley and continue to attack the Tang people's castle. The army has stayed here for too long, and the north and south of the desert are the paradise for children to gallop. When the Tang reinforcements arrive, my soldiers will carry their riches across the meander! ”

The turmoil in Chang'an, Xijing of the Tang Dynasty, Mo Si also heard that the two capitals were not peaceful, which was why he dared to stay in Yuanzhou for so long.

The reason why he delayed attacking the Qingshui River Valley before was to tempt more surrounding Hu tribes to temporarily attach themselves to him and let them make enemies with the Tang people, who would have to spend too much energy and time to restore order in this realm, which could give him more opportunities for development.

Mo Si turned around and returned to the tent, and the sky gradually brightened, and the chaos in the Qingshui River Valley gradually revealed the full picture.

However, while Mo Si and his soldiers were still expecting to fight into the valley to clean up the mess later, a group of Tang elite cavalry scouts appeared from the southeast of Wonju and headed straight for the castle in the Qingshui River Valley.
