Chapter 851: Fierce Battle of Taigu City Pass
The battlefield was full of blood, fire and blood, countless lives were annihilated, and those young faces, whether they were the sons of the old mothers in the family, or the fathers of the children, the husbands of the women, all kinds of identities and bonds, all destroyed and collapsed at this moment, and turned into a mutilated corpse.
Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a deep dream.
These dead soldiers are all in the thoughts of their families, and they can only see each other in their dreams in the future.
"Dangdang!"
The sound of Bing Ge's fighting was everywhere, shouting and killing one after another, and people were constantly being killed, and the heads rolled, piercing the body, and blood sprayed, and it was a mess.
Some Dahua warriors had already climbed to the top of the city, slashed and slashed, killing several guards, but were soon hacked to death in a pool of blood by the Tang soldiers who pounced on them.
Waves of onslaught, like a tide crashing against a reef, rolling up waves of blood, but soon falling again.
Those Dahua warriors fell down from the head of the city and the ladder of the city wall, like ripe grapes, and were hit by arrows or by rolling logs, and fell to the ground and had already suffered a heavy loss on the cost of the meal.
There were ambulance teams under the city walls, which were constantly carrying the wounded outwards under the cover of shields.
In fact, saving people at this time will take more people, but Luo Zhaoyun once personally issued a military regulation that it is necessary to rescue the wounded on the battlefield, and no heroic wounded people can be abandoned, only in this way will more people be willing to charge into battle and have a sense of security in their hearts.
If these wounded are allowed to the end, until they are trampled to death, or bleed to death, and are indifferent to the life and death of the soldiers, the military spirit will not be able to cohesion, and the entire team will have no military spirit.
In the vanguard, there was a medical corps that moved and rescued the wounded, carried them out of the battlefield, and sent them to the wounded barracks.
"Ah, my legs, my legs!"
"My arm, arm is off." A soldier with his shoulder cut off and screaming as he held his severed arm.
"My eyes, ah, can't see!" Some soldiers were shot in the eye and were howling and shouting.
Such scenes abound, and the brutal battlefield is killing every minute.
The first few crises in the city, but they were all resolved, after all, there are still too many guards in the city, even if the Dahua warriors are very fierce and fierce, but the siege battle is still dominated by the defenders, and the casualties are heavier than the defenders.
This battle reached dusk from the morning, and the team that changed in the middle of the battle was attacked, and after a day of fighting, thousands of casualties were killed, and several times almost occupied a piece of the city, but it was quickly exterminated and culled, and it was not overcome.
However, the Dahua generals were not discouraged, because the siege battle could not be won in one day, this was a tough battle, in addition to strength, there was also morale, and whoever could not stop it first, and the first to withstand it, naturally had to be defeated first.
Hou Junji ordered the withdrawal of the troops, returned to the camp to recuperate, and fought again tomorrow.
When the Dahua army retreated, the soldiers of the Tang army breathed a sigh of relief, and many people fell softly on the head of the city, some collapsed, and there were dead bodies everywhere in the city.
Blood gurgled and formed a stream that flowed on the ground, exuding a bloody aura.
The arrows inserted on the ground or on the corpses, all kinds of broken weapons, and destroyed siege equipment, these chaotic and windswept flags formed a bleak picture after the war.
The two princes, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, came out and led people to inspect the damage of the city wall, comfort the wounded, and encourage morale.
At this time, Li Xiaogong walked over, his shoulder was wrapped in a bandage, and he was grazed by a cold arrow during the battle, and a piece of flesh was hooked off, which was considered to be wounded.
"This batch of Dahua vanguard army, the morale is too strong, the combat power is very strong, in addition to the Central Plains people, many faces such as the Northwest people, Qiang people, Tiele people, etc., as the main force of the charge, almost suppressed the morale of our army, like this, one side will lose the other, we will be quite difficult to defend."
Li Er stared at the blood-stained city wall, and said seriously: "I think that normal guards are not enough, it is necessary to mobilize morale, suppress the edge of the enemy army, or indulge the enemy army to indulge and underestimate the enemy. ”
"Shimin, do you have any ideas?" Li Jiancheng listened to the second child's talk, and knew in his heart that he had always had a lot of ghost ideas, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Big brother, generals, you must have heard an allusion, that is, in the Warring States Period, the army led by Qi Guotian Dan was besieged by the Yan army in Jimo City, and Na Tiandan first sent spies to publicize that the Qi army was most afraid that after the Yan army captured Qi soldiers, cut off their noses, and then put them in front of the army. As a result, after hearing this, the Yan army believed it, cut off the noses of the prisoners, and then lined up in front of the battle to intimidate the Qi army. But the soldiers and civilians in the city were extremely angry when they saw the captured soldiers being mistreated like this, and they held on to their stubborn defenses! ”
"Subsequently, Tian Dan sent spies to spread remarks everywhere that the Qi army was most afraid that the Yan army would dig the grave outside Jimo City, which would make the soldiers and civilians chill and lose their fighting spirit, so the Yan army did it again, digging graves, burning the bones of the ancestors, and coercing the Qi people to surrender, but it was self-defeating, but it made the Qi army and people unite and hate the enemy, and they were filled with righteous indignation, and they wanted to fight to the death with the Yan army.
Li Er pinched his head and tail, picked up the important and told it, and after the people around him heard it, they all nodded, and understood that this was a way to encourage morale.
"However, if we follow suit like this, the vanguard army of the Chinese Dynasty outside the city may not be fooled!" Li Jiancheng questioned, it was obvious that the Hua army was not the Yan army and would not make such a mistake.
Li Er paused, and said in a tricky way: "However, this allusion has given me an inspiration, we can also send spies and scouts to blend in with the Dahua army, spread Turkic troops, and attack the northwest rear; Liu Wuzhou led troops to aid Taiyuan County; Xiao Liang and Du Fuwei's army was heading north, threatening Luoyang, cutting off the rear route of the Chinese army, driving them back to Guannei, affecting the morale of the vanguard army, and at the same time, rendering it in the city and improving the fighting spirit of our army. ”
After listening to this, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong, Wei Chi Jingde and others all nodded slightly, feeling that what they said made a lot of sense, but they were not optimistic about how big this influence was and whether it could be reversed.
After all, today's large-scale national war is already where the conspiracy lies, and the impact of a small conspiracy may not be so big enough.
At this time, Li Er said again: "I still have a plan, I have to implement it in advance, this Taigu City, how long it can be guarded, is not sure, so, to take precautions, decided to clear the wilderness, Taigu City to Jinyang City, the people within two hundred miles, all migrate, drive into Jinyang City, all the people within a radius of two hundred miles, burn down the grange, and wait for the Dahua army to enter it, there is no grain and grass available, and then ambush the mountains and forests must be elite soldiers, burn the grain road behind, when the time comes, the lone army will go deep, lack of grain and grass, even if there are 200,000 troops, The rout was over the horizon. ”
