Chapter 117: Two Fierce Battles

The sky was getting darker, but the will to fight was unprecedentedly high, and at the command of Abicheril, they resolutely rushed towards the army of the Silk Country, which had angered them, despite the fatigue of the day and the hunger in their bellies. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The tactics of the Turks were not different from those of daytime, but their ferocity was staggering. The cavalry at the front of the cavalry would jump off their horses and smash the wheels of the chariot with their axes and hammers, even if they were impaled by the spears of the infantry of the Silk Country. With such a harsh tactic of almost exchanging human lives for the destruction of the chariot, the Turks finally tore a hole in the turtle formation. Seeing this, Abicheril immediately threw his troops into this opening, although the turtle formation of the Silk Country was insufficient, but the formation changed quickly, even if the outer wall was torn, the follow-up formation could be quickly adjusted and reconstructed. However, Tuchi's will to fight was superior, and after paying the price of huge casualties, he once again broke through the second line of the turtle formation.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and only a faint starlight and a bend of the moon provided a meager light in the sky, but the more than 300,000 people on the ground were fighting to the death. Compared with the Turks who attacked the turtle formation, the siege of the Turks was even more miserable, and the two sides engaged in repeated tug-of-war near the foundation of the city wall. Due to the loss suffered during the day, the Tukchi army refused to advance easily after occupying the city wall, but used the sand on the city wall to fill the trenches, of course, the army of the country of silk could not agree to such a thing to go smoothly, so the army of the country of silk, which lost the advantage of cavalry mobility, and the army of the country of silk launched a life-for-death struggle. The Tuqi soldier who cut the neck of the Silk Country soldier with a scimitar was pierced through the chest and abdomen by the spear in a blink of an eye, and fell in a pool of blood, and the Silk Country soldier who killed him was cut off by the Tuqi scimitar before he could pull out the spear, and the screams overshadowed the surrounding fighting sound for a while, but then it was drowned out by a louder shout of killing, and at this time his body was already lying silently on the layers of corpses.

After a whole hour of fierce fighting, the offensive and defensive battles on the city walls were still inseparable, but the Turks who attacked the turtle formation achieved considerable results.

After the unyielding fierce attack of the Tuqi soldiers, the outer wall of the turtle formation was finally torn open. A large number of Tukchi troops poured into the turtle formation, although the army of the Silk Country still resisted hard, but the infantry that had lost the cover of the chariot was no longer able to resist the Tukchi cavalry that broke into the formation, and as time went by, more Tukchi cavalry poured into the gap every minute, which immediately caused a change in the ratio of forces between the two sides, and the situation began to tilt more and more to the Tukcan side.

"Great Khan! Our vanguard has successfully broken through the shell of the turtle formation, and I ask the Great Khan to send reinforcements as soon as possible to expand the results of the battle! The herald told the good news.

This news was somewhat unexpected by Abicheril, because from the beginning he had been coerced by the soldiers' desire to fight and launched this night battle, and his purpose was to let the soldiers vent their emotions. Because of this, apart from the most basic maintenance of coordination among various departments, Abicil hardly has any operational deployment plan, and is completely relying on the morale of the soldiers, and it is a surprise that he can open up the situation under such circumstances. Now that there is a crack in the turtle formation of the Silk Country, Abicil as the commander has no reason not to use it, but he always has a concern in his heart, that is, this battle was completely provoked by Liu Xianzhi, isn't there any trap in this? Therefore, he ordered Badr and Ye'er, who were in charge of the attack, to first see the situation clearly before launching a general attack, not to underestimate the enemy, and then allocated 15,000 cavalry in his reserve to Badr who was mainly attacking the turtle formation.

Badr immediately expanded his advantage and tore the hole in the turtle formation wider, so more Tukhe cavalry entered the formation, and Badr planned to let these cavalry counterattack from the inside out, tearing the entire turtle formation to pieces, so that the left wing group of the Silk Country would definitely collapse, and it would be too late to escape into the city walls.

However, at this time, the rear of Ye'er's first department, who was in charge of attacking the city wall, suddenly sounded a heaven-shattering shout.

Abicil expected it well, Liu Xianzhi had already made arrangements, he took advantage of the cover of night, allocated 30,000 infantry, bypassed the small lake on the right flank, and launched an attack on the Turk army from the rear. If this trick is used during the day, it will definitely be seen clearly in the endless wilderness, and these 30,000 people will also become the best food for the Tukchi cavalry, but the probability of success by using this method during the night battle is greatly improved, and the attack of these 30,000 people is not a simple death rush, but a deliberate chaos, they shouted and shouted, overwhelmingly charging towards the Tukchi army, so that the Tukchi army could not tell how many there were for a while. The Turks who had been flanked from the front and back suddenly began to be in disarray, and the wounded and exhausted soldiers who had been withdrawn from the battlefield were now the first to bear the brunt, and for a moment they were completely in a state of passive beating.

"Damn Liu Xianzhi, there is really a trick!" Abicherier, who got the news, slapped his thigh fiercely and scolded.

But now that it's happened, there's nothing else to do but survive this crisis. Abicheril was no ordinary Turch soldier, and he could tell from the intensity of the fierce battle between the two sides that the number of troops of the Silk Country would not be particularly large, otherwise its frontal front would not be able to hold up for a long time. Therefore, apart from leading his headquarters and the rest of his reserves to the battlefield to rescue, he did not draw Badr's troops.

Abicil personally went into battle, and the morale of the Turks was greatly boosted. The army of the Silk Country, which was attacked by two fronts, suddenly became a mess, and the momentum of Fang Cai disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the advantage obtained by the sneak attack alone collapsed into a piece of slag, and Ye'er's first troops also eased up to launch a counterattack, and in less than a meal, the army of the Silk Country that was sneak attacked had to begin to retreat.

It's so simple. Abiciel's heart said. Judging from the years he has fought with Liu Xianzhi, things are definitely not that simple, otherwise he would have conquered Taiyuan Mansion and captured Liu Xianzhi himself. But in the current situation, even if Liu Xianzhi has other tricks, he will not have more troops to carry it out, just like this sneak attack of the enemy, once it leaves the barrier, the infantry team will only become a good food for the Tuqi cavalry, no matter how to do this situation can not be changed, what else does this Liu Xianzhi have to do?

Just when Abiciel was in doubt, the situation on the battlefield changed again, this time in the direction of Badr's main attack. (To be continued.) )
