When Zhuang Fudi followed the army to the front line, he saw and heard the gunfire on the defense line attacked by the Turks, and the fire was everywhere. And in the moment when the muzzle fire illuminated, Zhuang Fudi saw the crowd of Turkic attacking teams on the opposite side of the defense line. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so I asked the military lord on the side and said: "The Eastern Turks are attacking so fiercely this time, I don't know if the defensive forces on the defense line can withstand it?" Have you arranged for them to go up to them? ”

The warlord shook his head and said, "These Turks not only used infantry to attack the defense line from the front, but also sent a lot of cavalry to infiltrate the rear of the entire defense line, constantly trying to cut off the connection between the defense line and the rear. When a small force was about to go up to support, it was targeted by a bunch of Turkic cavalry, and in the end it suffered heavy losses, and almost no one came back alive. ”

"And what about our cavalry, let our cavalry go and defeat the cavalry of the Turks." Zhuang Fudi said eagerly to the military lord in front of him.

"Our cavalry has been sent out, and now we are searching and encircling the places where the Turkic cavalry was previously infested. However, I am not very optimistic about the outcome of this operation, after all, it is a night battle, and the moon is very dark today. There was no one to be found a hundred paces away, and if the Turkic cavalry really played hide and seek with us, it would be very difficult to find them in this land. At this time, the military lord pointed to the moon in the sky, and signaled to Zhuang Fudi that the moonlight tonight was not very bright, so some actions would have some deviations compared to the plan, which was a helpless thing.

"No, you can't give up on them. Let the cavalry concentrate the search area, concentrate all their efforts on protecting the middle passage, and there is no need to pursue the invading Turkic cavalry, just repel them. Let's protect a passage so that supplies and soldiers can be transported to the front line in a steady stream. Zhuang Fudi said to the military owl.

"But Chief of Staff, we don't have enough manpower right now. Yesterday, in order to chase a group of Turkic cavalry deep into the hinterland of Wuwei County, most of the cavalry in our hands chased them in the northwest direction. All the cavalry we have now is okay if we can fight against the Turks, but it is still unrealistic to protect a section of the road, after all, our cavalry cannot fill the entire defensive front. The military owl spread his hands to Zhuang Fudi with some embarrassment.

"If you can't fill it, you have to fill it up by a way! We must never give up the troops on the front line, and our Western Regions Army has never given up on any of our comrades-in-arms. If it is not possible to increase the number of troops on the front line, then, now directly organize the army to set up a second line of defense, let all the cavalry rush forward to the first line of defense, escort the soldiers there back, and then..."

Before Zhuang Fudi's words were finished, he suddenly heard the gunfire at the forefront and suddenly stopped. At this time, the breeze caressed a few wisps of clouds in the sky that blocked the moonlight and drifted to the northwest, and the moonlight was scattered to the earth. With the help of the moonlight, Fu Di faintly saw the position of the forefront of the defense line that the unboundless Turks had finally rushed to, and it seemed that there were no surviving soldiers of the Western Regions Army on the position.

Zhuang Fudi was silent at this time, silently looking at the forefront of the position, unaware of the pain caused by the clenched fists of his hands causing his nails to pierce the flesh. A golden-headed wolf flag was slowly planted in the forefront of the position, symbolizing the official fall of the land into the hands of the Turks. Zhuang Fudi's face was so angry that his face turned pale, and when he had just ordered his army to set up a second line of defense, and at the same time was about to launch a counterattack on the first line of defense, but the opposite position was heard with the songs of the Turks celebrating the victory.

But before Zhuang Fudi could hear the meaning of the song, he suddenly saw a spark flash in the dark night, and then a fire dragon swam on the ground as if awakened to a place where many unknown items seemed to be piled up. The Turks who were celebrating next to them had apparently noticed this, but they were just curious, but they didn't seem to know where the fire dragon was going, and what the stacked thing was.

So under the gaze of tens of thousands of people on the entire battlefield, the pile of items suddenly burst into flames, and then a thick cloud of smoke and dust was washed into the sky, forming a mushroom cloud that almost covered the entire forward position. At the same time, a huge explosion also followed the sound to the place where Zhuang Fudi was. The shock wave generated by the explosion and the shaking sensation brought by it made the team around Zhuang Fudi slightly confused, but the soldiers who had seen a lot on weekdays were not too panicked at this time. just held everything around him that could be used to fix his body, and slowly took off his helmet. Of course, they knew what the source of this explosion was, and they also knew what the power of this explosion was, and they could not do anything now but take off their hats to salute their comrades.

The explosion came and went as fast as it could, and after all the flammable gunpowder was ejected, the gunpowder, which had not reached the critical point of explosion, turned into fireworks in the air. Along with gunpowder, it is not only the shock wave that is ejected, but also all kinds of tissues of the human body. All of a sudden, the entire forward position was covered with all kinds of stumps, and some of the Eastern Turk soldiers who survived the explosion supported their bodies with their hands at this time, looking at their lower bodies in confusion and their intestines that were still steaming and wriggling in the cold night outside their stomachs. But compared to the wails of these people, the expressions on the faces of many Turks are forever fixed on the momentary horror of the explosion, and will remain forever.

An Eastern Turk leader who accompanied the attack took off half of the intestines hanging from his hat and threw it on the ground, looking at the soldiers around him who were not even one of them. So he turned his head and looked at Tuoba Shi Shu who was pressing the formation behind him, hoping that he could give him a clear instruction.

Tuoba Shi Shu was also a little pale at this time, looking at the battlefield in front of him after the explosion, and his mind was also in chaos now. It was clear that his own army had already captured the defensive positions of the Han Chinese, and planted the golden-headed wolf flag on it to swear his sovereignty. But as the fire rose like a demon's roar, it seemed that the victory that had been so difficult to obtain in his hands before slowly slipped away from his hands.
