Chapter 200: The Battle of Wuwei (26)

A feeling of powerlessness arose from the bottom of Tuoba Shishu's heart, and at the same time, an impulse to give up on himself also surrounded Tuoba Shishu's mind. It wasn't until the Lifu on the side quietly bumped Tuoba Shi Shu with his shoulder that Tuoba Shi Shu was shocked out of the previous sense of powerless decadence.

Tuoba Shi Shu had seen such things as explosions a few times, but he was still in the Central Plains at that time. It is not uncommon to see some alchemists refining pills for their adoptive fathers, and such explosions occasionally occur during the process of alchemy. There is no complete agreement on the interpretation of this kind of event. It is said that the mistake in dispensing drugs leads to the imbalance of yin and yang, resulting in the explosion of medicinal properties; It is also said that it is the thunder and fire calamity caused by the heavenly thunder brought by the Jindan after practicing it. But in any case, after such an incident, those pills will definitely disappear. But at this time, there was an explosion of such a scale in front of the two army formations, could it be said that the Western Regions Army on the opposite side had invited a group of Fang Shi to alchemy? But in any case, since such a thing has happened, there should be no extra pills that can explode in the Western Regions Army's Danding.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Shishu looked around again at the leaders who were a little frightened, and then at the Lifusheth who was standing beside him. He nodded at Tuoba Shishu, which meant that when this kind of thing happened, you, as the general of the whole army, now need to stand up and cheer up the leaders under your command, and at the same time strengthen your own prestige, so that you can add some political weight to yourself when you compete for the position of Khan in the future.

Tuoba Shi Shu understood, so he snatched another golden-headed wolf flag from the hands of the soldiers next to him, and just took it in his hand and came to the front line where the explosion had just occurred, and then Tuoba Shi Shu inserted the wolf flag in his hand deep into the ground under his feet, and said to the surviving Turkic soldiers on the side:

"These Han people take the blame for themselves, and everything they do on the grassland can be regarded as retribution at this time. You may not have noticed it because of your lack of eyesight. But I can see clearly in the rear by the help of the moonlight, and there is an ambush hole prepared by the Han people on the opposite side in the ground under your feet, just waiting for you to continue to attack, and kill from behind you. However, with the blessing of the Immortal Heaven, at this time, a heavenly thunder descended to completely destroy this ambush hole. Now is our chance to continue to attack like those Han Chinese and defeat them once and for all. Therefore do not be cowardly, warriors, but kill the enemy bravely. When the time comes, after the capture of Wuwei County, money, women, food. Whatever you want, you will have an inexhaustible supply. ”

After listening to Tuoba Shishu's words, the Eastern Turkic soldiers who were shocked by the power of the explosion and had lost their backbone for a while were a little calming at this time. Under the command of their respective commanders, they began to clean up the stumps of the battlefield and rescue the wounded soldiers who were still alive. Previously, Tuoba Shishu said that letting them continue to attack was just to cheer them up, and their own task was to capture the first line of defense, and in the next battle, naturally there were other armies responsible for execution.

After pacifying the Turkic soldiers in the first line of defense, Philosher brought the soldiers of the second wave of the attack to the front and began the final preparations before the battle. When the Turks went to war, they never considered the red tape of tying their hands and feet like the Han Chinese, and the Turks had only one reason for fighting: I wanted, you have, and if you can't beat me, then I will beat you. Therefore, there is nothing high-sounding in the pre-war mobilization at this time, but the respective military commanders and soldiers under their command have imagined all kinds of fun they can enjoy after capturing Wuwei County, so that they can fight without fear of death on the battlefield, and they have already achieved the mission goal.

Compared with the Eastern Turks, the atmosphere on Zhuang Fudi's side is very heavy. Although the soldiers who were defending on the front line relied on the last resort to make an extremely beautiful battle loss exchange ratio, Zhuang Fudi knew that these people should not have died, because he did not consider that night battles would have such a great impact on combat effectiveness when he made his previous plans, and that the penetration of the Eastern Turkic cavalry would have such serious consequences on the entire battle situation. Therefore, it will lead to the annihilation of the Western Regions Army on the front line, which makes Zhuang Fudi, who has always pursued to list all the possibilities of the battlefield and formulate coping strategies in different categories, very annoyed and remorseful. He expected that even if the Turks had encountered this, they would have taken advantage of the victory to attack their second line of defense. So he led his men to constantly inspect the situation of the entire defense line, for fear that any more loopholes would lead to the collapse of the entire front.

A staff officer on the side saw that the Turks not far away were gathering troops at the place of the first line of defense, and when he looked at the moonlight, the Turks seemed to be quite numerous, so he said to Zhuang Fudi: "Chief of staff, you go back first." Are you still worried about our staff officers staring at you, if there is any unexpected situation, I will definitely send someone to inform you as soon as possible. ”

Before the staff officer's words were finished, Zhuang Fudi shook his hand with a calm face and said, "Don't worry about me, you can organize a manpower defense according to your own arrangement." This defensive battle is still your main staff officer, and I am just here to see how you can avenge your comrades who died in the first line of defense. ”

The staff officer persuaded Zhuang Fudi not to move, so he also glanced at several staff officers around him, then shook his head helplessly, and then continued his work with his head down.

The second attack of the Turks did not make the Western Regions Army wait too long, and soon the Turks who formed a crowd formation once again launched an attack on the second defensive front of the Western Regions Army, this time the staff officers of the rebel army did not hold it up, and there were archers to shoot and kill in places where the muskets could not reach, and when the Turkic attacking troops finally suffered the damage of the bow and arrow, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the musketeers of the Western Regions Army who were arranged at the forefront fired a volley under the unified command of the officers next to them.

The sound of the gun, which had whispered like a demon in the ears of the Turks, rang out again intensively, and under the command of some experienced officers, the firing distance was so well that a single round of fire almost scattered the entire formation of the Turks.
