Yu Du Jun Mountain, the nice thing to say is a mountain range, in fact, its height is between more than ten meters to dozens of meters, the grassland is called a mountain, in the Central Plains is just a small hill.

But it is such a high mountain bag that has become the last reliance of the Tang Army!

Hou Junji built an earthen fort in a relatively gentle part of the mountain range. To put it nicely, it was built, but to put it bluntly, it was actually half-dug and half-piled up - a part of the soil from the top of the mountain was dug up and piled up on the outermost periphery, and an earthen wall about one and a half people high was piled up, so it became an earthen fort.

It is also thanks to Hou Junji's foresight, and the earthen fort that was temporarily erected a few days ago has become their last barrier at this time of life and death.

Behind the earthen wall, the soldiers piled a layer of steps around the earthen wall with earth, enough for several people to stand side by side, and they could stretch out their spears to defend themselves against the enemy, and they could shoot arrows and throw thunderbolts.

There were originally some low trees on the hillside, but they were also cut down by Hou Junji's order at this moment, and piled up at the foot of the mountain to block the momentum of the cavalry.

In the middle of the earthen fort there are ten watchtowers made of wood, the watchtowers are about four or five meters high, and each watchtower can accommodate a dozen or so soldiers, who can be responsible for guarding, giving orders, and archery.

Under the ten guard towers, about two meters from the ground are connected with wooden planks, and a large platform is built, the size of the platform almost covers seventy or eighty percent of the space of the earthen fort, the platform can shield the soldiers from the rain of arrows, and provide a temporary resting place for the soldiers.

It was such a simple earthen fortification, about to face the impact of 90,000 cavalry, the atmosphere in the earthen fort was extremely depressing, and the timid soldiers could hardly even hold the weapons in their hands, their hands were constantly trembling, praying for the next fate.

Hou Junji saw that everyone's morale was low, and a wave of anger suddenly rushed to his heart, picked up the whip, and slapped a soldier who was huddled in the corner and trembling! "Smack!"

"Ahh The soldier who was pumped covered his face and screamed, rolling on the ground continuously.

The movement here attracted the attention of the others, and the soldiers focused their eyes on Hou Junji and the soldier.

Hou Junji carried the whip, and some cruel eyes slashed at everyone, "Afraid of war, a group of barbarians, they are actually afraid of being like this, you are not worthy of being a Tang Dynasty!" ”

The words "not worthy of being a Tang Dynastyman" are deeply rooted in the hearts of the soldiers, who were once proud of being a Tang Dynasty, but now they are said by Hou Junji that they are not worthy of being a Tang Dynasty....... I can't bear this breath no matter what!

The soldiers, who were originally a little scared, were stimulated by the six words, and there was a faint tendency to get angry.

Hou Junji noticed the change in the soldiers, and the whip in his hand was slammed into the air, making a crisp "crackling" sound.

"The whole army obeys the order! War, reward for the brave, reward for the fear... Die! ”

The sound came, and the entire earthen fort suddenly fell silent. Unlike the previous silence, there is a murderous aura hidden in the silence now, like... Silence before the storm!

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the voices of soldiers on the watchtower. "General! They're coming! Thirty thousand soldiers and horses from the west, northwest, and southwest gathered together! ”

Hou Junji roared, "Prepare for war!" Then he quickly ran up to the watchtower, pulled out his binoculars, and looked to the west. But he saw three groups of enemies besieging him from three different directions.

"Here we are." Hou Junji read silently. At this moment, the pressure in his heart is far from what those ordinary soldiers can think!

"All the soldiers obey the order! Get ready to meet the enemy! Archers for! Thunderbolt Throwers are ready in the rear! ”

Behind the earthen wall, the ranks split into two groups, with the archers in front and the thunderbolt throwers standing behind with torches.

"Soldiers! In the first battle of Dunhuang, our Tang army fought against nearly 200,000 enemies with more than 10,000 soldiers, and finally the enemy suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and had to give up the siege of Dunhuang. They can be heroes, why can't we? Soldiers, we will fight to the death with the enemy! ”

The soldier shouted with red eyes: "Fight to the death!" ”

Hou Junji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his morale was pulled back a little, but a more severe test was still to come.

He has completely cut off his back road, leaving only a dozen or so horses to give credit, and the rest have all been taken away by Ma Yuan, which can be said to be a backwater.

In this battle, only win! Don't lose!

The same idea is also the desire valley set. This is the battle he declared war on the Tang Dynasty, and this Tang army must be annihilated, only victory! Don't lose!

Two armies with the same belief are about to start a fierce confrontation!

West. Suddenly. The speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the bottom of the mountain. The barricades set up by Hou Junji had an effect, and he successfully tripped over the first batch of people who rushed to the horse. Turkic cavalry.

The cavalry in front arrived, and the cavalry behind also fell, and the original charging formation was in chaos, and a group of people in front of them turned on their backs.

"Shoot the arrows!" Hou Junji shouted. A rain of arrows suddenly shot out from inside the earthen fort, and thousands of arrows shot out on the guard tower and behind the wall, and they all rushed into the chaotic west. in the camp of the Turkic cavalry.

Many West. The Turks were hit by arrows and fell from their horses screaming, and some of them were already on the ground and were shot into sieves by the rain of arrows.

"Humph! A bunch of idiots! Let them clear the barricades, turn the horse's head, and charge again! Desire Valley set up in the rear, and gave the order with a gloomy face.

As soon as he fought, he suffered a small loss, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.

The first Western Turkic soldiers received the order to dismount one after another, some with shields holding small shields, and those without shields used the corpses of people around them as a defense, braving the rain of arrows to clear the outermost barricades, during which many people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

was shot by someone, and Desire Valley naturally wanted to take revenge back, and he also sent the archers in the army to shoot at the top of the mountain.

One side is on the mountain, one side is at the foot of the mountain, and the slope tends to be gentle, the slope is very long, naturally the mountain occupies the advantage, not to mention that there is an earthen wall on the mountain as a cover, even though there are many people at the foot of the mountain, but the bow and arrow contest is still the Tang army on the mountain occupies the advantage, and the Western Turks at the foot of the mountain are almost shot with their heads scurrying.

What made them even more desperate was that the Tang army did not just set up barricades at the foot of the mountain, there were roadblocks every six or seven meters on the slopes of the mountain. There are six or seven barricades on a hillside, how do you let them clean them?

They were not good at mountain warfare, and if the horses could not rush up the hill in one go, they would definitely cause great casualties, which was something that Desire Valley did not want to see, but the performance of the soldiers in front was really humiliating.

"Damn, a few barricades can't be cleared, what face is there to live in the world? Come! Tell the order to go down, let all the people of the Bone Tribe dismount and rush forward, and clear all the barricades! ”
