Chapter 136: The struggle is just in vain

The time was close to dusk, and under the glow, the fierce battle of more than 20,000 people on both sides was still continuing, and the soldiers were still fighting to the death, and the sound of killing was not reduced.

From Helu's proposal, the Turkic army concentrated the elite of the tiger division and the leopard division and launched a continuous attack on Wang Huaizhen's army. The cavalry attacked the infantry formation, and the price paid was naturally not small.

However, as soon as the Turkic generals came up fiercely, they didn't care about the casualties that were increasing every moment, and drove the soldiers to attack the central army of the Zhou army round by round. Previously, Wang Huaizhen estimated that he had also anticipated the possible response of the Turks, so he laid out a defensive situation and made the most prudent preparations.

But it's one thing to be ready, and when it comes to fighting, the situation is out of control.

The trapped beasts are still fighting, not to mention a group of wolves with sharp fangs, launching crazy, and the pressure on the side of the Zhou army, which is mainly attacking, is great.

Wang Huaizhen was guarded by the tooth soldiers, staring at the fierce battle in front of him with a serious face, and the madness of the Turks was really beyond his expectations. The arrows of the Chinese army have long been consumed, and as He Lu said, the Zhou army's attack can be regarded as a light and rapid advance, not a complete body with complete equipment.

At present, the two sides are fighting each other in short arms, and they are strong against the Turks with shield formations, and it has been nearly an hour. Observing the situation on the battlefield, he kept commanding and fine-tuning his defense.

In the face of the impact of the Turks' deaths, especially the Tiger Division, the combat effectiveness is really not to be underestimated. The soldiers of the Zhou army were still struggling to support it, and the generals and captains who were affected by the victory of Yuan Hui were also trying their best, but Wang Huaizhen had already felt that he was close to the limit. If such a high-intensity attack of the Turks continues for a while, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it.

"General, let the left and right wings be separated!" A lieutenant quickly ran to Wang Huaizhen's side and said in a loud voice.

There was hesitation on his face, but Wang Huaizhen still shook his head, pointed to the two wings and monitored the Turkic Qianqi and said: "If the two wings move, they will fall into the hands of the enemy, and I am afraid that they will find an opportunity!" ”

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to bear it!" The lieutenant said anxiously.

Wang Huaizhen's Chinese army is basically requisitioned HB state soldiers, although the combat effectiveness of these people is not weak, but after all, there is a limit.

Frowning, Wang Huaizhen looked at the sunset, and ordered in a deep voice: "The sky is dark, let the soldiers stay up until dark, and the Turks will not dare to rush again!" ”

"Order the left and right flanks to slowly move closer to the Chinese army......" After a little consideration, Wang Huaizhen still issued an order.

"The Turks are crazy!" Guarding the left flank of the enemy cavalry in front of him, Li Yuanfang looked at the fierce fighting not far away, and said in a condensed voice.

"For an hour and a half, with heavy casualties, the attack did not stop...... sighed.

Yuan Hui jumped down from the backs of the two pro-soldiers, his expression a little solemn: "The Turks are playing with their lives, and Helu is obviously aware of the danger." However, it is surprising that this person can still inspire such a combat power of the Turks under such circumstances! ”

"Fight back to death, the last madness......" Li Yuanfang shook his head: "The Chinese army is still as stable as Mount Tai, the Turks are only afraid that it is the end of the crossbow, and the sky is almost dark, such a high-intensity attack, the Turks will not be able to sustain it for long!" ”

Glancing at Li Yuanfang, Yuan Hui said lightly: "In the face of such a high-intensity attack, how long can the Chinese army hold out?" ”

"General Yuan is saying that the situation of the Chinese army is not good?"

Standing on tiptoe and looking at the east a few more times, Yuan Hui said in a deep voice: "General Wang has not moved back an inch, but the battle lines of the two sides have moved back a hundred steps...... It seems that our army is volleying layer by layer, but ......"

"Do you want to send reinforcements?" Seeing this, Zhang Yin asked.

Yuan Hui shook his head: "The Chinese army has no order, and the Turks in front of us are waiting for us to show their flaws!" When we move, they will move! ”

As he spoke, Yuan Hui's gaze was on the Turkic cavalry in front of the left flank.

In the open space to the east, the cavalry of the two armies fought against each other, and the Turkic soldiers had the upper hand in the battle, and the Zhou cavalry could only hold the troops and horses that would be held back by Helu.

When the sun was setting in the west converged the last rays of light, on the east side of the water, the sound of killing really weakened a lot. The battalions of the Turkic tiger and leopard divisions, almost all of them attacked twice, and the generals were exhausted and slowly withdrew.

On the side of the Chinese army, Wang Huaizhen breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, glanced at the cavalry of both sides that were still entangled on the right flank, and turned his head to stare at the Turkic army that was gradually entering the twilight. The soldiers of Zhou, who had been carrying it for a long time, were able to relax, and many people sat directly on the ground in front of the battle to relieve their physical and mental exhaustion.

Seeing this scene, Wang Huaizhen's heart couldn't help beating violently a few times, and he hurriedly ordered someone to restrain the soldiers, light the prepared torches, and be in the dark near the enemy, really having no sense of security.

Before the Zhou army was lit up, the earth trembled again, and the retreating Turks turned around and attacked again under the cover of twilight. The soldiers and soldiers of Zhou who sat down, driven by the officers, hurriedly prepared for defense, and their reactions were not slow, but they were still caught off guard.

Wang Huaizhen's face changed greatly, and he also wanted to order the left and right wings to take the opportunity to transfer troops and horses to supplement the Chinese army, but the idea was directly extinguished.

"Pass the order down, and block it for Ben! Hold off this wave, and the enemy will be defeated! Wang Huaizhen shouted loudly for the first time and pulled out the sword at his waist.

With the Tiger Division in front and the Leopard Division behind, the Turkic cavalry delivered a stormy and decisive blow to the Zhou army. The Turkic soldiers often eat meat, do not lack vitamin A, rarely have night vision, and stare in the direction of the Zhou army, but the offensive is more sharp. On the side, the cavalry of the Zhou army, which had held on for a long time, finally collapsed at night.

Yuan Hui was on the left flank, but his attention had been on the side of the Chinese army, and his expression was extremely solemn when he saw the rapid drastic changes in the situation. The Turkic divisions in front of the battle also launched an attack on Yuan Hui's troops......

On the right flank, the victorious Turkic cavalry did not pursue the defeated Zhou cavalry, gathered the thousands of cavalry that were watching, and suddenly penetrated into the Zhou formation on the right flank. The Turks, this is the final offensive launched on all fronts.

"Turks, it's really unexpected!" Pulling out the horizontal knife at his waist and holding it tightly, Yuan Hui sighed.

"Brother Yuan, something is wrong...... Li Yuanfang was beside Yuan Hui, his expression was grim, and he said to Yuan Hui.

"Brother Yuanfang, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you, if things don't go wrong, I hope you will lead the adult guards to protect the safety of General Wang...... He Lu's head and his fierce cavalry can't be taken for the time being......." Facing Li Yuanfang solemnly, Yuan Hui said solemnly.

"I'll go!" Yuan Fang's action was extremely strong, and he beckoned the guards that Di Renjie transferred to him, shuttled through the perimeter formation, and leaned towards the Chinese army.

Looking at the fierce battle and night battle in front of them, the soldiers were really a little unstable.

"Yayun!" Yuan Hui called Yun Gu softly: "Wait a while, follow me closely, and never leave!" ”

also noticed something wrong, very well-behaved, Yun Gu nodded her head vigorously.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the Zhou army was defeated and retreated, and the first to be defeated was naturally the Chinese army, which carried the enemy's fierce attack for an afternoon. Even with it, the two wings also retreated.

Yuan Hui tried his best to maintain the position, fought and left, and withdrew in the direction of Juyong Pass. Slowly, he found that he had fallen to the end, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore, so he ordered to retreat at full speed.

The Turks fought very hard, with many casualties, and many of them wanted to completely break the Zhou army and take the head of its general. It was He Lu who suppressed that impulse and forced the armies to retreat, taking advantage of the new defeat of the Zhou army to wade across the water.

Until the second half of the night, He Lu led more than 7,000 tired soldiers of Xinsheng, and finally succeeded in crossing westward.

Fang joined the army of Xiandu, and Qige sent people to bring him news in a hurry: a Zhou army in the west had attacked Jiming Mountain, cutting off the Turkic back route.
