The war continued, in full swing, day and night. Vertices

For the Di people, they finally attacked the city, how could they easily stop the army, and they didn't take the opportunity to take Juyong Pass in one go.

Under the city pass, the warriors of Beidi were in an endless stream, constantly rushing to the city, so that the Tang army's garrison was invincible, like cutting leeks, harvesting a stubble, and a stubble was born.

Chenshi siege the city, fierce fighting and fighting all day, close to night, the city lit a bonfire, the city lit torches, both sides are a pair of indecisive victory, vow not to give up.

The battle lasted until noon the next day, Zhu Li was killing the enemy, a Tang army colonel, killed in front of him with blood, while slashing and killing the Di people who rushed to the city, while reporting loudly to Zhu Li: "General, the south entrance is in an emergency, the government guards have suffered heavy casualties, and they are on the verge of collapse. ”

When Zhu Li heard this, he easily killed a Di person, frowned slightly, and immediately replied: "Adjust the original Beikou garrison with three thousand, go to support." ”

When Colonel "Nuo" heard the order, he went all the way to the bloody killing.

On the third day of the battle, the colonel came again and shouted: "General, there are heavy casualties in Wengcheng, please make a decision." ”

"Adjust the three thousand guards of the Shuo Prefecture Prefecture and support them as soon as possible." Zhu Li immediately instructed without hesitation.

"No"

......

The war continued, and the casualties brought to the garrison guarding Juyong Pass were heavy, almost every other day, or even half a day, someone flew to report to Zhu Li, either the south entrance, or the urn city, not the arrow tower, or the city section, almost everywhere needed support.

The Khitan people wanted to take Juyong Pass in one go, and the Di people who attacked the city were like big waves rushing to the city wall.

However, the Tang army guarded, but under the leadership of Zhu Li, fought to the death and did not retreat.

The Tang army stationed at Juyong Pass, roughly calculated, is definitely quite a lot, and the Zhenyuan army alone has nearly 30,000 horses; Coupled with the remnants of the Qingyi Army and the mighty army, the two departments together also have more than 20,000 men.

Zhu Li came from Shuozhou for reinforcements, 4,000 Yue cavalry, 3,000 trapping guards, and more than 10,000 palace guards, as well as Zhang Guimu's Beikou army, the two departments were combined, and there were 20,000 people in the palace guards alone, and in a short period of time, it was impossible for the Khitans to eat these 70,000 or 80,000 people in one bite.

On the seventh day of the battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted.

The generals of the Tang Army were even worse, for seven days and seven nights, Zhu Li, Yue Pengju and others, who were the main generals, had rested for less than twelve or three hours at most, and the other generals dared to rest more than the main generals under the guidance of this invisible persistence.

Almost take turns to fight and kill the enemy desperately.

But after all, people are not beaten with iron, and their spirits are commendable, but their physical fatigue cannot be alleviated, resulting in casualties and even more heaviness.

There were more than ten captains killed in the battle, dozens of captains, and countless brigade commanders, team leaders, and fire commanders, and the blood almost stained the Great Wall for more than 30 miles.

In the rain of swords and spears, only generous and sad songs are left, no regrets about the world, and worthy of the common people.

At this point in the battle, even Yelu Shidi, Yelu Shilu and others, who stood at the bottom of the pass and urged the troops, were a little frightened, seven days, just seven days, the Di people coalition army, a total of 70,000 warriors, rushed to the city, only to see people go, not to see people return.

There were no wounded at all, not that those injured warriors didn't want to withdraw, but that the Tang army was too desperate, facing the warriors of Beidi, no matter whether they lived or died, no one wanted to leave, so everyone was exhausted

Blood, drained of life.

It wasn't 70,000 cattle and sheep, but 70,000 living warriors, a few days ago, they were still standing under the city with a smile, pointing and pointing, with a look of victory, but once they rushed to the city, they would never see it again.

Inside and outside Juyong Pass, above and below the city, there are corpses everywhere, there are Di warriors, there are also Tang army guards, the dead are strange, there are no surprises, but without exception, they all look very tragic, and their appearance is respectable.

The dead are gone, and the living still continue to fight bloodily, desperately and madly, at this time, what is life and death?

Every warrior in the middle of the battle has forgotten its existence, they stare at the enemy with scarlet eyes, and there is only one obsession in their hearts, kill each other, kill each other.

At noon on the seventh day, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and in the blink of an eye, it was drifting heavy rain and strong winds raging, and there were almost no people on the city walls.

The wind and rain are fierce, and the raindrops hit people's faces and bodies, as if they were hit by stones and rubble; Thin people, standing in the wind, can almost be blown up.

Not to mention the fighting, even Yelu Shidi, Yelu Shilu and others, who had been standing under the city to supervise the battle, could not sit firmly on the horses, and a great battle of ancient times was suddenly interrupted by a storm.

The Beidi people had to withdraw their troops back to the camp, they were willing to do so, but they had to withdraw, the ladders could not be erected on the city wall, as soon as they got up, they were overturned by the strong wind, and they attacked a fart.

In the hall of the Tang Army's military discussion, Zhu Li stared at his bloodshot eyes, looked around at everyone, and said in a condensed voice: "Say, how much have we lost?" ”

The storm interrupted the endless fighting, and the generals of the Tang Army immediately rested their troops, counted the casualties, and arranged for the seriously injured to seek medical treatment immediately.

Zhu Li has been waiting here, he must know the loss as soon as possible, this cruel bloody battle is the most difficult and most costly battle he has ever fought, in his life experience, there is no one.

When the generals heard this, their faces were all ugly and sad, Yue Pengju looked around at the crowd, sighed secretly in his heart, looked at Zhu Li with a pair of eyes that looked like edema, and arched his hand: "General, the Zhenyuan army originally had 3,000 cavalry, 8,000 foot shots, 10,000 spearmen, and 12,000 sword and shield soldiers, totaling 33,000 people. ”

"After this battle, in addition to the unharmed Yue cavalry, there were more than 6,000 people in foot shooting, and nearly 2,000 people were lost; The sword and shield soldiers suffered heavy losses, and there were still more than 5,000 people left; The platoon of spearmen suffered the heaviest losses, with less than 3,000 men remaining. ”

"Fifteen thousand people were lost." This number is almost half of the number of people stationed in Juyong Pass by the Zhenyuan Army, and after Yue Pengju said this number, his face was full of bitterness and cold.

You must know that before Zhu Li's future, the Di people also stormed the city pass, and the battle lasted for more than ten days, and the number of losses was not one-third of what it is now.

When Zhu Li heard this, his face was also ugly, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Guimu, Zhang Guimou's arm was injured, and now he was still wearing a strap, and when he saw Zhu Li, he knew that he couldn't dodge, so he lowered his head and arched his hand: "General, the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers of the Beikou Army are a total of 10,000 people, and after the battle, there are still 4,821 people left." ”

"3,000 rifles, because I have been staying in the rear camp, I have not received an order to attack, and no one is damaged." When he said this, his face turned pale, this one who has always longed for the Prancing Horse battlefield and dominated the world

The militants, now finally scared.

He can't be compared with Yue Pengju, Yue Pengju was a commander in his previous life, with excellent psychological quality, and he has not led the Zhenyuan army for a long time, and his relationship with his subordinates is not as deep as his.

But Zhang Guimu is different, every guard in the Beikou Army is carefully selected by him, and most of the soldiers who have been trained for several years have died at once, and the impact on him is a pain that outsiders can't imagine.

Zhu Li stared at the scarlet eyes, glanced at him meaningfully, then turned his head and asked Gao Yuan: "Gao Yuan, how is the situation of our Shuozhou army?" ”

When Gao Yuan heard this, his face was also not good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "General Qiyu, the Shuozhou army has lost 1,863 people in foot shooting; The spearmen lost four thousand five hundred and twenty-five; The sword and shield soldiers lost 2,389 men. ”

"There are also the trap guards, who lost eight hundred and fifteen men in this battle." Gao Yuan pursed his lips, and finally choked up.

The trap guard, it can be said that Gao Yuan's disciples, every guard, is Gao Yuan's brainchild, after the first battle, almost a third of them died, no wonder he choked up.

The mighty army lost more than 6,700 people in foot, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers, and the mighty army stationed in Juyong Pass did not move after removing 3,000 Yue cavalry, and there were only 10,000 people in total, and now there are more than 3,000 left, and there are almost 1,000 people on average, which is equivalent to being completely disabled.

There were more than 10,000 Qingyi troops, and after the war, there were more than 4,000 left, who were also disabled.

The entire Juyong Pass garrison, after the First World War, lost more than half, and the generals who were here, no matter who they were, felt uncomfortable.

Had it not been for the timely arrival of this storm, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But under Zhu Li's command, no one complained about half a sentence, and even Gao Siji and Gao Mian of the mighty army never said a word of complaint, because they were soldiers, and the horse leather shroud was the glory of the soldiers.

After the war, when the wind and rain stopped, it was already three days later, and just sorting out the corpses, the entire Tang army was busy for several days, which shows the great loss of this battle.

Zhu Li has been in the army for so long, he has never encountered such a tragic battle, and in his only experience, this battle of defending the city is the longest and the most tragic battle.

When more than 70,000 corpses of Di people were sorted out, Zhu Li did not hesitate to order their heads to be beheaded, and outside Juyong Pass, a full 70,000 Di people's heads were used to build a human head landscape.

"Whoever offends me as a strong man will be punished even if he is far away." This sentence, since it was shouted by Chen Tang, countless Chinese sons and daughters, but all those who care about China and love the nation, have all engraved it in their bones, and Zhu Li is naturally no exception.

This landscape is reserved for the Khitan people, Xi people, and Tuhun people, the wolf's ambition, coveting the Han soil, and dying will make you unable to enter the soil completely.

In the face of this human head landscape, Yelu Shidi, Yelu Shilu, Brother Shara, Ba Ra and others all had ugly faces and gloomy expressions. This is not only a landscape, but also the deep hatred of the Han people, and the determination to stick to Juyongguan.

In fact, if they knew that they had paid for the lives of 70,000 warriors in exchange for 40,000 casualties of the Tang army, their expressions would not have been so gloomy and angry.

With an almost one-to-two ratio, you know, this is not a conventional siege battle, but a face-to-face hard fight, isn't this result enough to cause them to be afraid?
