Chapter 706: Hengzhou is besieged

"Kill!"

In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the distance of Li Xu was instantaneous. The Turkic soldiers who rushed to the front were about to rush into the camp and slaughter in all directions, but the ground under their feet suddenly began to collapse in a large area, and in their shocked gaze, a group of Turkic knights rushed down uncontrollably.

It is a trap pit, feeling that the Turks are about to attack the village, Yang Lihua has already ordered someone to dig a trap pit, within 100 meters in front of the camp, the dogs and teeth are staggered, dense.

"Ahh

The exclamation from the Turkic knight's mouth quickly turned into a terrible scream. But it is full of sharp weapons in the horse pit, and the consequences can be imagined. It is considered good luck to fall into a horse pit and break a bone and tendon, and nine times out of ten those who fall into it will be turned into a hedgehog by someone with a horse, and the pain is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

His face was as cold as ice, but his eyes remained steadfast, and he did not regret his sudden death. Since he decided to attack, how could he not be ready to sacrifice.

"Kill!"

Blood and death did not deter the Turks, but only aroused the fierceness and bloodlust in their hearts. In the roar, the Turkic knights in the rear did not hesitate to step on the corpses of their companions and rushed towards the Qi army camp without stopping.

After all, because the time was too short, the Qi army could not dig the trap too deep and too wide, with the ferocity of the Turkic cavalry and the superb horsemanship, after leaving 2,000 corpses, they finally approached the camp and looked at the Qi army across the fence.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With a wave of the folding fan, the 10,000 Qi troops hiding behind the camp immediately opened their bows and arrows. With a sharp whistling, the sky suddenly darkened, and then countless arrows were seen like dark clouds towards the Turkic cavalry outside the camp.

"Puff puff!"

In the midst of a rapid, muffled sound, some Turkic knights fell from their horses unable to resist the sharp arrows, while more feathered arrows were fired into the soft earth until they reached their tails.

When the first batch of Turkic knights passed through the traps and pits full of ravines and approached the Qi army camp, he also ordered the Khan to order again, and a full 20,000 Turkic iron horsemen rode out and pounced on the Qi army like a whirlwind and clouds.

"Whoosh!"

The 20,000 Turkic cavalry did not rush forward to destroy the Qi army's camp, but drew their bows and arrows into the camp close to the camp.

Looking at the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun and fell towards the village, Yang Lihua's pretty face hidden under the mask couldn't help but change slightly. Although she has good courage, after all, she is a daughter, and she is close to the battlefield of 200,000 people, the pressure in her heart can be imagined, although her face is still calm, her close-fitting clothes have long been soaked with sweat.

He Bo Khan's counterattack was fast, but the Qi army's reaction was not slow at all. Yang Lihua has little experience in battle, but she has a very defensive Fu Fu by her side. It was only later that as soon as the 20,000 Turkic knights approached, Fu Fu had insight into their intentions and decisively ordered the crossbowmen of the Qi army to quickly retreat, giving way to a large open space. The foot soldiers behind the wall raised their shields one after another, connecting them in the air.

"Jingle Bell!"

Arrows rained down, clusters of arrows slammed into the shield, making a crisp and dense crashing sound, and countless sparks burst out.

The Qi army should become appropriate, and the Turks are afraid of hurting their own side, so most of the arrows fall at a good distance from the wall, and nine out of ten of a round of arrow rain fall in the air, and the damage caused by the real fall into the crowd is also limited.

Nevertheless, the purpose of the Turks was achieved. Without the suppression of the crossbowmen, the onslaught of the Turkic knights became more and more frantic and ferocious.

The camp of the Qi army is built with wood and stone at the outermost, because of the time constraint and the lack of materials, it looks a little simple. It was Yang Lihua who ordered all the carriages in the camp to be connected together, close to the wall, and the spears tied on it pointed diagonally to the sky, standing like a forest, with a murderous aura, followed by the Qi army foot soldiers who were waiting for the battle.

"Bang bang bang!"

Sawdust flew, and the scimitars in the hands of the Turkic cavalry continued to slash at the wall, rapidly destroying the structure of the camp. Some of the soldiers held their shields high to guard against the enemy's bows and arrows, while others saw the opportunity and kept their spears in their hands out, stabbing the Turkic cavalry off their horses.

In a quarter of an hour, the wall crumbled, and the Turks took a step closer. The defense built with vehicles was like a boat swaying in the wind in front of the Turkic knights who rushed in like a tidal wave.

"Catapult, let's go!"

Yang Lihua waved the folding fan again, and in the camp, dozens of catapults on the high platform suddenly let out a beast-like roar, and dozens of boulders jumped over a distance of nearly 300 meters and landed in the Turkic camp on the periphery of the camp with bows and arrows.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the shaking of the earth, the boulders fell, and nearly 100 Turkic soldiers were smashed into meat and mud by people and horses on the spot, and the splashing of gravel injured many people, and the war horses were frightened, which caused a riot in the Turkic camp.

At this moment, Yang Lihua ordered again, and the crossbowmen who retreated quickly approached, and opened their bows and arrows in stages. In the whistling sound, the rain of arrows fell like a canopy in the Turkic crowd outside the camp.

The Turks were only concerned with guarding against the falling boulders, and in a moment of panic, they were seized by the Qi army to meet the head-on attack, and immediately became a mess, and countless Turkic knights fell to the ground screaming, or were stabbed to death by falling feathered arrows, or died under the iron hooves of their companions.

A look of hatred flashed on his face as a bowl khan, he really didn't expect the Qi army to hide such a sharp weapon as a catapult, and he didn't expect that he would be so calm and grasp the timing of the counterattack so accurately, disrupting the rhythm of the Turkic attack in one fell swoop and controlling the initiative.

Without the suppression of the Turkic knights' bows and arrows, the Qi army's infantry suddenly lifted their spirits, and the spears in their hands poked out like a spiritual snake, causing great casualties to the Turks, and for a time they forced the Turks to be in a hurry, and they couldn't help but retreat backwards.

He did not take the momentary defeat to heart, ordered the soldiers in front of him to retreat, and after a short rest, launched another attack. This time, the Turkic knights were a lot more cautious, and the formation was much more dispersed, and the Qi army's catapults could not cause too much damage, and the scattered formation was also very beneficial for avoiding the bows and arrows fired by the Qi army.

Fu Fu naturally hoped that the Turks would be crowded together, so that the Qi army could kill and injure almost without aiming, but it was a pity that he was not mentally retarded, otherwise what was the difficulty in defeating him, why bother so much.

Even so, Fu Fu was not annoyed or disappointed, and still calmly hid in the shadows and commanded the battle.

Both sides are elite divisions, with similar morale and fighting spirit, and it is more of the commander's command art that can determine the outcome of this battle. Fu Fu and his bowl Khan are the best of the best, and it is because of this war that you come and go, it is not tragic and exciting.

From sunrise to sunset, the Turkic attack has not stopped for a moment, the fortifications of the Qi army have long been full of holes, and they can collapse at any time, and the inside and outside of the camp are like a mountain of corpses, nearly 20,000 people fell here, of which eighty percent are Turkic cavalry, after all, the Qi army as the defender, there is a camp as a support, and Fu Fu is there, but the loss is a lot of laughter.

The camp of the Qi army is backed by Huanghualing, and the Turks cannot launch an all-out attack, which gives the Qi army more respite, otherwise even if Fu Fu is present, the camp may not be able to support it at this time.

Looking up at the sunset that was about to fall, and then looking at the defense of the Qi army that still hadn't collapsed in the distance, he couldn't help frowning, and was about to speak, but Ashina Daluo suddenly appeared in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, there is news from Hengzhou!" ”

"What?" His eyebrows were raised, and a terrifying glint suddenly erupted in his eyes.

Ashina Daluo looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "Great Khan, Ashina Anluo has besieged Hengzhou in accordance with your order, and launched a strong attack at noon today. ”

"Good!" A flash of joy flashed on his face of the Khan, the momentum on his body changed suddenly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The time has come, happy child, even if you are extremely cunning, you don't want to escape the palm of Ben Khan's hand today!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the sword at his waist and raised his arms and shouted: "The whole army is attacking, and I am happy to be captured!" Before he could finish speaking, he shook the reins of his horse and rushed out like arrows from a string, and behind him, 50,000 Turkic cavalry roared angrily, and galloped in unison.

Soon, he Bo Khan led 50,000 iron horsemen to the front of the Qi army. Seeing the arrival of his bowl khan, the Turkic knights suddenly burst out with unprecedented fighting intent, and the attack was even more fearless and fierce, while the pressure on the Qi army doubled, and the number of casualties skyrocketed.

"Boom!"

Finally, the already overwhelmed fortifications completely collapsed, and the Turks poured in with cheers and launched a more fierce offensive against the Qi army.

Although there were more and more Turkic cavalry rushing in, the Qi army was not so afraid, under the command of Fu Fu, formed a tight formation, methodically defended and counterattacked, although there were casualties all the time, but it did not show the slightest sign of defeat.

"The camp is broken, we will be defeated sooner or later if we hold it for a long time, prepare to retreat, and lead him into the Khan!"

Yang Lihua, Wu Zhao, and Lu Hanyue stood side by side, looking at the Turkic cavalry surrounded by mountains and seas, Wu Zhao said in a low and serious voice, his cold eyes flashed with excitement and bloodthirsty light.

"Will he guess our plan, will he be fooled?" Yang Lihua asked with some disbelieving.

"If you were him, would you give up when you saw victory in sight?" Wu Zhao didn't answer the rhetorical question, his tone was calm and convinced: "The Turks are all cavalry, it is not difficult to catch up with us, as long as he is fast enough, he can completely drag us down, or even defeat us!" ”

"This-" Yang Lihua suddenly became a little worried, and the back of her hand holding the folding fan was faintly white.

Wu Zhao waved his hand lightly and said: "Don't worry, the road in this Huanghualing is tortuous and winding, and the space is narrow, and the Turkic cavalry can't exert their full strength, not to mention that he may not be able to guess our plans!" ”
