、、、、、、、、、、

After a night of clearing the city, the Turks finally opened the road between the outer and inner cities, and the gap in the wall widened it so that they could ram the siege car forward.

Now, after another half a day of assembly, they finally showed their fangs again. Ten siege rammers, twenty well railings, ten catapults, and ladders were lined up outside the gates of the inner city, ready to begin a major attack.

Ashnaji deliberately showed his offensive strength in this way, and he also wanted to shock and blow the morale of the defenders.

At this moment, the noon sun shines the golden light, the city wall of Juyongguan is also dyed with a layer of gold, the cold autumn wind can not blow away the blood and killing atmosphere in the air, and the banner of the Zhou army, which is a little blackened by the flames and smoke, is still fluttering slowly on the city tower.

Jieli decided to finish this battle, and the army he sent not only ordinary troops, but also his Black Wolf Army and Golden Wolf Army, which can be described as powerful.

"Assault of the whole army!" With his command, the drums of the Turkic army suddenly beat.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The drums shook the sky. The overwhelming number of Turkic soldiers poured in like a tide, and this time the Turkic army did not have any reservations, and once again 100,000 Turkic soldiers launched a frantic attack on the inner city of Juyong Pass, and among them were 10,000 elite Black Wolf Army.

Twenty wells and ladders were already approaching the wall, and as soon as they hooked the battlements of the wall, the Turkic soldiers would rush up to the city in droves.

"The trebuchet returns fire!" Luo Cheng shouted.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The trebuchets on the inner walls roared and threw boulders at the wells.

"Bang!" A well fence was hit by a boulder and collapsed, turning into countless sawdust. The Turkic soldiers standing on the well railing also screamed and fell, suffering heavy casualties.

"Humph! Is there more trebuchet than on which side? Ashnaji sneered, and then waved his hand to signal his catapult to return fire.

"Tom! Tong! Tong! The Turkic catapults also roared, and several boulders roared and were thrown onto the inner city walls of Juyong Pass, instantly smashing the defenders' trebuchets that had been exposed.

Due to the absolute superiority of the Turkic army in the number of catapults, after half an hour of bombardment between the two sides, the Zhou army suffered heavy losses. Most of their trebuchets were so damaged that they could no longer bombard enemy wells with boulders, and siege vehicles approached, and only some of their heavy crossbows and bows were still firing, but they could not cope with the giant siege engines, and they could only watch as they approached the walls.

Luo Cheng sighed, if there was still oil in it, he could still use it to ease the enemy's attack, but now there was no way. He could only run at the head of the city and shout: "Roll the stones and prepare the wood!" Don't let the enemy climb to the top of the city! ”

The remaining 10,000 Zhou soldiers and mobilized civilians had all gone to the city to fight, half of them were throwing arrows down from the top of the city, while the other half were holding spears and shields in their hands, standing in line on the city wall, ready to fight in hand.

Tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers climbed with shields in one hand and broadswords in the other. Behind them were tens of thousands of other archers.

The arrows at the head of Juyong Pass were like rain, and the rolling wood and stones fell like hailstones.

Patches of Turkic soldiers were knocked down and crushed, suffering heavy casualties, and the Turkic archers below the city began to throw arrows at the city.

Zhou soldiers kept screaming and falling from the city, but they were fearless. Death has become numb to the soldiers of the Zhou army, and they all have only one belief, to hold the Juyong Pass and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the King of Zhou.

Countless Turkic soldiers climbed the ladder with shields and swords in their hands, and charged frantically towards the city, stones and logs fell from the city, and thousands of Turkic soldiers who rushed in front were smashed and howled and rolled down, but behind them, there were still countless companions who continued to rush up one after another.

Due to the large number of Turkic armies, and the elite Black Wolf Army among them. More and more Turkic troops rushed to the city, and the two armies fought fiercely at the city.

……

At this moment, five miles away from the main camp of the Turkic army, there were 100,000 Zhou troops gathered in the black press, including 70,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. They are the reinforcements led by Yu Ming, and now after a full day's rest, they are all full of energy and ready to go.

Surrounded by dozens of guards, Yu Ming stood on a small hill on horseback, his eyes anxiously watching the fierce battle on the head of Juyong Pass in the distance.

Now the Turks have sent most of their troops, but the expected Golden Wolf Army has not been sent to participate in the siege. If he attacks now, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. But Jieli Khan, under the protection of the most elite Golden Wolf Army, will definitely be able to escape safely, and even retain a certain amount of strength.

As a result, Li Jing and his wife, who are still in the Turkic tent and Tuli, are preparing to make Jieli's backyard catch fire, and Dongli will face a huge risk. So, he had to wait a little longer, and be patient with Jie Libibi.

"King Zhou, if you don't attack again, I'm afraid that the county lord and General Luo will not be able to hold it!" Qin Qiong reminded with some concern.

"Wait a little longer!" Yu Ming sighed lightly.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and two horses galloped towards the group of horses with the knights on their backs.

After they ran in front of Yu Ming and Qin Qiong, they immediately jumped off their horses, and then bowed and said, "King Zhou: The Turkic army has begun to attack the city, and the Black Wolf Army has been dispatched. The city is very tight now! The subordinates saw that the county lord had already gone up to the city wall and was fighting with the Turkic army! ”

"What? My sister is also in battle? After Yu Ming heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. He originally wanted to wait for the Golden Wolf Army to enter the battle before launching an attack. But now it seems that ensuring Yuqing's safety is more important. If my sister has any shortcomings, then I don't regret taking the medicine.

"Revisit! In the future, report to me every half an hour on the battle situation of Juyong Pass! Yu Ming shouted.

"Yes!" After the two scouts answered, they hurriedly mounted their horses and continued in the direction of Juyong Pass.

After Yu Ming pondered for a moment, Fang said to Luo Shixin: "Shixin, you should first lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the grain and grass storage area of the Turkic army." It had been established that their defenders numbered just over 10,000 men. If Jieli doesn't send reinforcements, then we will have to burn it! But you have to be careful, now the Turks don't have any more mobile troops. If Jieli sends someone to the rescue, it must be the Golden Wolf Army, and you will face a fierce battle! ”

Luo Shixin listened, but he patted his chest and said loudly: "My subordinates have long wanted to fight with the Golden Wolf Army to see if my ironclad cavalry is more powerful, or the Turkic wolf cavalry is more ferocious!" Please rest assured! If you don't win, your subordinates will come and see you! ”

"Good! If you have this faith, it is up to you! Yu Ming also nodded solemnly. Then he said to Qin Qiong: "Shubao, after Shixin launches an attack on the Turkic grain and grass storage area, you will lead the Wanmo Sword Army to attack the Turkic army camp and attract their main force!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" Qin Qiong also bowed solemnly, and then turned around and left.

Yu Ming turned around at this time, faced the other generals, took a deep breath and said, "The rest of the generals will immediately go down to reorganize the team, and the pillar incense will start attacking after the time!" ”

……

At this moment, in the Turkic camp, Jieli was also pacing back and forth outside the big tent with a gloomy face.

His son Zheke also looked helpless, and his heart was even more worried.

He once persuaded his father that it was not impossible to attack south. But you shouldn't attack Juyong Pass, and you shouldn't hit Yuming's idea. It should take advantage of the opportunity for the main force of the Tang Army to move south to attack Xiao Miao, and the troops of Longxi to attack Li Liang again. Sweeping through the void of defense, but relatively rich Guanzhong and Longyou.

The Turkic army could then ignore the logistical burden and feed the war with war, and could plunder a large amount of wealth and women, and when they returned, they could also go from the Hetao, avoiding Yuming's army and the mountainous Hedong Pass.

In this way, the Turks were able to plunder huge profits without much to lose.

But his father did not listen to his advice, and was bent on annihilating Yuming's army, completely destroying Luo Cheng's forces, and even did not hesitate to give up the strong cavalry advantage of the Turkic army, and launched a tragic siege battle with Juyongguan and Zhou troops. Even in order to introduce the army of the Western Turks to help the war, the interests of the pastures at the junction were abandoned.

Of course, Zheke also understood his father's strategic intentions, and when the Central Plains was already in chaos and the princes were seeking support from the Turks, only Yuming refused to give the Turks a good face. If this hard bone is not removed, the Turks will not be able to smoothly enter the Central Plains and occupy this large area of flowers.

It's just that such a vicious battle with Yuming regardless of the casualties will greatly weaken the power of the Turks, and how will they deal with the Western Turks who are eyeing each other and the tribes like Xuyantuo who refuse to give in?

While Decek was pondering, the Turkic soldiers at the gate of the tent pointed to the rear and shouted in horror: "Khan, look! There's a fire over there! ”

Jieli looked back and was immediately frightened. I saw that two miles away in the direction of the grain and grass storage area, a raging fire was ignited, thick smoke billowed out, and the flames soared into the sky.

A Turkic scout hurriedly rode to the front of the big tent, then hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said, "Report to the Khan!" The Zhou army launched a surprise attack on our army's grain and grass storage ground! ”

"What?" Jieli's face changed suddenly.

"It must be the reinforcements of the Zhou army that have arrived! Counting the journey, ten days is enough time for him to rush from Hedong to Juyong Pass! Rick said.

"! Are Liang Shidu and the people of the Western Turks pigs? Even Yuming couldn't stumble and let him leave Hedong calmly! After hearing this, Jieli also scolded a rare foul language.

At this moment, the empty Turkic grain and grass storage place has become a sea of fire, the fire is burning in the camp, and the cavalry of the Wanzhou Army is holding torches in the camp, setting fire back and forth.

The horses and horses of the Turkic army were fed, and all the cattle and sheep they had enclosed were killed. Although the more than 10,000 Turkic soldiers who remained here resisted desperately, they still could not stop the attack of the Zhou army. After all, they are not elite troops, and their combat effectiveness is not at all as good as that of ironclad cavalry.
