Chapter 305: The Battle of Defending the City
Bang
Gao Chong said with a serious expression: "Brothers, the hardest time has come, as long as we hold on to this day, I have a way to retreat from the enemy, I hope you don't give up your efforts." ”
Gao Chong nodded: "I still say the same thing: the Turkic soldiers must come in, they fight theirs, we fight ours, with the hundred-man team as the combat unit, occupy all the favorable terrain, rely on the terrain to deal with the Turks, so that the Turkic war horses lose their usefulness, don't fight with them, to save yourself first and then kill the enemy as the basic principle, now our first battle is this gap that is about to appear, let us concentrate all the bows and arrows to the Turkic soldiers to give a greeting, and then lead them to the streets and alleys, We were waiting for them on the rooftop. ”
The Turkic trebuchets did not stop bombarding because of the collapse of a corner of the city wall, and still smashed the boulders unrelentingly, and the Sui army retreated to this place, silently waiting for the moment when the Turks arrived.
There was another loud bang, a nearby city wall collapsed, the trebuchet stopped working, Gao Chong waved his hand, and the Sui army quickly rushed forward to occupy favorable terrain and prepare for battle.
"Shoot back!" Gao Chong gave an order, the Sui army appeared, arrows, bricks, rolling wood, thunder stones, smashed towards the Turkic soldiers, and the tragic offensive and defensive battle began, because their own soldiers were mixed with the Sui army, trebuchets and giant crossbows could not shoot anymore, this thing has no long eyes, just hit a general direction, it is easy to send out, but as for who will hit, only God has the final say.
But the Turkic soldiers were not frightened by Lu Zhishen at all, and the people behind them were still moving forward bravely, the offensive and defensive battles in other places were tragic, and the battles here were doubling the fierceness, which was completely a confrontation between strength and force.
Gao Chong secretly made up his mind that as long as he was in charge of the army again, he would give priority to the development of cavalry, and he would definitely study how to fight this battle without cavalry, and the war with the Turks would not be a matter of three or five years, but a few hundred years. Not only the Turks, the Xiongnu in the past, the Turks now, and the Liaojin in the future, at this moment, the strategic problem of the lack of cavalry in the Central Plains Dynasty was highlighted, and this problem was most prominent during the Song and Song dynasties.
This offensive and defensive battle was fought until dark, it was over, the Turkic soldiers simply failed to attack, threw a corpse and retreated, Gao Chong counted the number of people, and the Sui soldiers lost nearly 10,000 people, this is the offensive and defensive war, this is the first time Gao Chong has seen a real ancient offensive and defensive war after coming to this era, which can only be described as tragic.
Let go of the sigh in your heart, Gao Chong collects merit points, this is a good thing, you must not give up, I forgot to collect it yesterday, I hope there is still a chance to collect it, anyway, I can't give up today.
Gao Chong shook his head, the 20,000 horses of the Turkic soldiers don't know if it includes yesterday's deaths, this is war.
When counted, it turned out to be a tenth less, and it can be inferred how fierce the battle was.
The spirit of the generals was shocked, this is the rhythm of the decisive battle.
Lai Hu'er took on the heavy responsibility and was shocked, "Lord Guozhu is going to set fires?" ”
The generals couldn't help but rejoice when they heard this, and came to Hu'er to slap their chests: "Lord Guozhu, don't worry, leave it to me here." ”
At the end of the first watch, Gao Chong took Lu Zhishen out of Yanmen Pass quietly, and the two of them went out of the city quietly, and Lu Zhishen whispered when they left the city: "Young master, let's go to the Turkic camp now?" ”
Lu Zhishen scratched his bald head, don't go? So what are you running out for?
What are you waiting for? Lu Zhishen didn't know, Gao Chong didn't explain to him, Lu Zhishen could only follow Gao Chong to sit on a small hillside and blow the night breeze. Don't look at Lu Zhishen as a monk, but where can he sit still? kept slipping around, but Gao Chong just sat still, and Lu Zhishen didn't dare to ask, so he could only hold back.
