Chapter 165: Closing the Door

Zhang Deqing suddenly slashed out and cut off the left arm of the Eastern Turk soldier in front of him, and then put his shoulder on the chest of the Turkic soldier and pushed him on the wall of the Great Wall. Then he grabbed the Turkic soldier's lower plate, and suddenly threw the Turkic soldier directly from the Great Wall.

A similar situation was playing out in various parts of the Great Wall defense line at this time, and Zhang Deqing held the idea that one more Turkic soldier would die on the Great Wall defense line and one less Turkic soldier would attack Wuwei County. So he put the turbulent wagons that the Turks were attacking the defense line of the Great Wall in front of him, and his original intention was to put these wagons on the long bridge on the city wall, and then block the exit of the long bridge from which the wagons descended, and use bows and arrows and muskets to kill the Turkic soldiers in the carts.

But people are not as good as heaven, this kind of siege tool called Louche Zhang Deqing has seen a lot in the interior of the Central Plains, it is nothing more than to erect the long bridge on the city wall, and finally the soldiers along the long bridge into the city wall to fight. But these Turks in front of them don't know what kind of madness they have. After lowering the long bridge of the building car, the first to rush out of it was not a Turkic soldier, but a mad cow with a tail on fire.

More than a dozen mad cows rushed over the long bridge of a dozen building carts, and some soldiers who couldn't dodge flew directly with their horns. Just when Zhang Deqing's army was busy culling these dozen mad cows, the Turks inside the building car suddenly attacked, and they rushed across the long bridge of the building car that was not very long, rushed to the city wall, and strangled with the Great Wall garrison on the city wall.

The Turks relied on the bloody courage of the moment, and the garrison of the Great Wall relied on the combination of the sharpness of firearms and the large number of people, and the two sides were at this time the tip of the needle against the wheat mang, and neither of them would take a step back. However, although the Turks are brave and fierce, they are on the side of the numerical disadvantage. And at the beginning, it was all because the defenders of the city were confused by the dozen mad cows before they climbed the city wall. But by this time the mad bulls had been culled, and the regrouping garrison of the Great Wall had begun to gradually suppress the Turks back to the exit of the Long Bridge. It was only because the Turks rushed up from the building car without fear of death and replenished the remaining Turkic troops on the city wall that the Turks were not completely driven down from the city wall.

However, it has to be said that the combat capabilities of the Turks should not be underestimated. Although they did not cooperate with each other in an orderly manner, with just one blood and one brute force, the Great Wall defenders could not bear a lot of pressure and suffered a lot of damage. At this time, there were already signs of defeat when the reinforcements in the rear were not replenished in time, but because the two armies were strangled together at this time, no one noticed this.

"General Zhang, let the fire dragon attack. If we continue to consume the Turks like this, once the replenishment of the troops is slightly worse and delayed for a while, then our Great Wall defense line may be lost, and then we will lose more than we gain. A staff officer wiped the blood from his face and said to Zhang Deqing.

"Where did you get all this blood? Is it yours or who's? Zhang Deqing knew that these staff officers were not regular combat personnel, so their combat effectiveness in a hand-to-hand combat environment was also debatable, so when he saw the staff officer covered in blood at this time, he couldn't help but ask with concern.

"I don't know who it is, but now I have my hands and feet, and I can still walk and talk. As long as these are Turks, I won't fight with them about this. When the staff officer saw Zhang Deqing asking about the blood on his body, he casually talked to Zhang Deqing.

Seeing that the staff officer was radiant and did not look like he was injured, Zhang Deqing was relieved. It is no exaggeration to say that in the new barracks set up by Li Wenyuan, it is completely possible to produce professional soldiers on the assembly line, but if the two armies fight in front of the formation, it is not just a matter of who has the most troops to win the victory. After all, if that is the case, both sides will hoard their troops on the border, and then the side with fewer people will retreat and admit defeat. Therefore, if the soldiers of the army are compared to the hands and feet, then these staff officers are the brains that direct the hands and feet to attack and defend. So for an army, his soldiers are certainly important, but these staff officers are also indispensable.

"So what's going on now? How long will it take for the next team to come to replenish the front-line soldiers? Zhang Deqing saw that the Turks around him had been killed for the time being, so he asked another staff officer on the side.

"It will take at least half an hour to arrive, after all, the previous reinforcement has not been up for long. We can't communicate the situation here in time now, so it's likely that the reinforcements will still come every hour as planned. The staff officer was already a little tired by this time, and could only stand leaning against the wall. However, although he was a little weak and weak, fortunately his mind was not affected, and he could still answer Zhang Deqing's question very clearly.

"What? Has it only been half an hour? How I feel like it's been some time. Zhang Deqing was greatly surprised when he heard the staff officer's words, but he then looked towards the battlefield not far away. At this time, it was already a matter of life and death, except for some seriously injured people who were directly carried to the ground on the south side of the Great Wall to lie down, many of the soldiers who were fighting on the other side casually pulled a strip of cloth and tied up the bleeding wounds.

Seeing this, Zhang Deqing knew that his Great Wall garrison was a little out of oil, so he nodded to the staff officer who had made the suggestion before and said: "It's time, let the troops on the front line work harder, at least give me the time when the fire dragon completely burns down those buildings." At that time, let them give me all the strength to feed, and it will be a shame for us to close the door and beat the dog if it is bitten by the dog. ”

After getting Zhang Deqing's approval, the staff officer led a personal guard unit of his own to fight into the battlefield again, conveying Zhang Deqing's order to the defending troops who were in a bitter battle. As Zhang Deqing's orders continued to be passed on the defensive line, the defensive troops, which were originally physically exhausted and on the verge of collapse, once again mustered up their strength to fight with the Turks in front of them.

At the same time, the tarpaulin that had been covering the fire dragon was lifted by the soldiers waiting aside, revealing a copper faucet hidden under the tarpaulin.
