On the morning of October 26, Anzhou Ghost Fang, Donghu Shu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ashina Aswin stood on the wall of the fort, facing the cold wind, looking up at the gloomy sky, and his mood was very melancholy.

This is the precursor to the coming of rain and snow, bad weather is not good for the war, and as far as the current battle situation has become clear, this battle is unsustainable, even if you try your best to defeat the opponent, you may not be able to take the ghost city and complete the expected attack target, so last night's military meeting, the debate was fierce, most of the tribal leaders tended to withdraw the army, but Ashina and Shi Alimen were unmoved, and insisted on the stalemate on the battlefield to find a good opportunity to capture the ghost side, so that the two sides were fighting to consume, If the future results can compensate for this consumption, the tribes can still accept it, otherwise, the tribes will be angry at each other, and the authority of the Jiji and the Tooth Banner will inevitably be damaged, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Ashina Aswin sighed secretly and turned his eyes to the battlefield ahead. A round of fierce fighting had just subsided, and the snow outside the fort was full of wolves, scarlet bloodstains, stiff corpses, severed limbs and stump arms, as well as discarded siege equipment, arrows everywhere, and a few broken flags flying freely in the wind; The fort was also full of mourning, the wounded soldiers howled miserably, the bodies of the dead were piled up on the ground, dense arrows covered the ground like fallen leaves, covering the bloodstains, the cracked banners whimpered in the wind, and the low horns tore at the sad souls.

In the distance, the battle flags were hunting, the war drums were beating, and the battle formations were numerous, and the formidable Middle-earth infantry regiment did not give the fort any time to breathe, and attacked again. The Middle-earthers have the advantage of troops, with this advantage can take turns to attack, in addition, the Middle-earths are very well-equipped, longbows and crossbows and other heavy weapons are invincible, although as a strong attack party has a natural disadvantage, but the Middle-earths do not aim to capture, but to maximize their own advantages, to kill and consume the enemy as the goal, so that the loss of the Turkic infantry defending the city greatly increased.

"Woo woo woo ......" the big horn sounded, "Wu How, Wu How......" The killing sound was like thunder, and a group of Turkic soldiers rushed to the city wall, waiting for the battle.

Ashina Aswin turned his eyes to look at the white snowfield on the left and right wings outside the garrison. On the two wings of the snowfield, the horse armies on both sides frequently fought, although the Turkic control string has a clear advantage, but the Chinese and Turkish horse army to contain the goal, the tactics are very flexible, resolutely not to fight with the Turkic control string head-on, just like the jackal on the grassland, walking around, seize the opportunity to rush up and take a bite, unable to prevent it, so that the Turkic control of the string can not be used, hold their breath, in vain.

Ashina Aswin sighed silently. In fact, the Middle-earths are fully capable of capturing the forts, capable of completing the siege, and capable of forcing the Turks to fight to the death with them, but the Middle-earths only make a situation of encirclement, but delay in closing the siege, with the obvious intention, that is, to force the Turks to withdraw their troops as soon as possible. And Ashina saw the intention of the Middle-earthers, and knew that the Middle-earthers did not want to lose both, so he delayed and did not retreat, trying to find the flaws of the Middle-earthers and deal a fatal blow to the enemy. As for Shi Alimen's insistence on not retreating, insisting on defeating the enemy army at any cost and capturing the ghost side, nominally for the benefit of the desert, in fact, he had ill intentions and had the intention of digging a pit for Ashina. For this reason, Aswin kindly reminded Ashina that at a critical moment, he should not be careless and retreat, so as not to bring disaster upon himself, but Ashina thought that the time for withdrawal was not enough, and he had to wait.

The price of waiting is more casualties, which makes it difficult for Aswin to accept, although in the eyes of the high-level elites in the tooth tent, this casualty is nothing, and it is not comparable with the political benefits obtained, but for all kinds of tribes, this casualty endangers their roots, and the contradictions and conflicts are bound to be fierce, and it is inevitable that they will be separated from Germany over time.

Thousands of miles of embankments, collapsed in the anthill, for the interests of individuals and small groups, at the expense of the interests of the desert and the tooth tent, it does not matter in the short term, but when it accumulates to a certain extent, the consequences will be terrible. Just like the fall of Anzhou this time, the Xi people were in trouble, if Ashina and Yaqi resolutely intercepted this so-called Middle-earth rebel army on the front line of the Lightning River and fulfilled the promise to protect the Xi people, why would it be in danger today? It is foreseeable that once the Turkic army withdraws, the Middle-earth army will take the opportunity to attack the weak Luoshui, which is very likely to form a trend of destruction and decay, and if Bulishe is defeated, the Khitan and the Xia tribe and other Donghu tribes will submit to the Middle Earth, and the Tooth Tent will lose three Donghu tribes and lose control of the northeast region, which will inevitably endanger the overall situation of the north and the south, and the consequences will be worrying.

But these thoughts can't be said, they can only be put in their hearts, and they can't conflict with Ashina, after all, Aswin is also a conservative in the tooth tent, and he was deeply influenced by the conservative position of Qimin Khan, and was deeply appreciated by Qimin Khan? has long been classified as a conservative, so even if you have different ideas in your heart, you must succumb to the interests of the conservatives and maintain the absolute authority of Ashina.

At this moment, surrounded by a team of guards, he hurried up to the city wall. As the commander of the Tooth Banner Infantry Army, his main task was to attack Ghost Fang City, so he took the main force of the infantry army to follow Ashina Duru, and he did not enter the battlefield for a long time.

Aswin saw him, a smile barely appeared on his face, and his voice was mocking, "I've finally waited for you." ”

Bakushui understood Aswin, knew that he was holding back the fire in his belly, and didn't care, "Leave the fort to me, you go to the outer wings, and take the elite cavalry to beat him." ”

Aswin scoffed, "In this situation, who would sacrifice their lives to forget their deaths?" ”

Bakushui smiled, shook his hand, and said with a pun, "The consequences of active evacuation are completely different from passive evacuation, and Qi Ji has his difficulties, and we also need a reason to shirk it." ”

"Meaningless." Aswin pointed to the corpse on the snow, and said angrily, "Is it worth the price?" What is the point of so much blood and life? ”

Ba Kushui's expression became cold, and he didn't say a word. This battle has been very aggrieved until now, falling into the trap of the opponent, passive everywhere, working in vain, and complaining up and down, which was not expected before, but as a henchman of Qi Jishe, he knows that Ji Jishe's current situation is very embarrassing, and he will be hit by political opponents if he is not careful, in order to reverse the passive situation to the greatest extent, Qi Jishe has to pay some price to improve his predicament, and this price is of course the life of ordinary soldiers, otherwise how to create a lose-lose situation?

In the afternoon, in the camp of the commander of the Grand Alliance, Li Fengyun received an urgent report from Han Shige, and the Leopard Cavalry Army, the Thunder Fourth Army, and the command of the humiliating king Mengba, marched through the snow, arrived on the east bank of Taoshui on the night of October 24, crossed Taoshui before dawn on October 25, and launched a surprise attack on the Turks on the west bank.

Li Fengyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly told Miyong, Murong Zhili and A Huichuan, who rushed to the flat pine forest to set up an ambush, Han Shige had captured Taoshui, cutting off the retreat of the Turkic army, and the Turkic army would retreat quickly after hearing the news, please ambush the armies to prepare quickly, and do not delay the fighters.

He also urgently told the commanders of the front-line armies that Taoshui had been taken and that the Turks were about to retreat, and that all armies must seize the time and make every effort to surround and kill bravely, and asked all units of the Ma army to be prepared to chase and kill, and be sure to take advantage of the good opportunity of the enemy's hasty escape, kill the killers, and capture them on a large scale.

He also ordered the governor Nan Yutang to take the Fifth Army of the Alliance, and the governor Hu Yanjian to take the Thunder First Army to the Donghu battlefield immediately, and made a situation to complete the encirclement at any cost.

In the evening, the tooth banner handsome tent, the front line of the departments of the urgent report, after a day of fierce fighting, the Middle Earth army actually continued to attack, like a group of red-eyed wolves, pounced on all sides, murderous, unstoppable, especially in the East Lake battlefield, the Middle Earth people increased their troops, the offensive was more fierce, there was a possibility of overtaking the fort overnight to complete the siege.

The battle situation changed abruptly, and Ashina and Shi Alimen immediately realized that the problem was serious, but what was the reason? Ashina and Shi Ali looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of uneasiness in each other's eyes. On the one hand, the enemy is arrogant and careless, and on the other hand, under the deception of the ghost side's false information, it miscalculated the situation in Anzhou and made wrong decisions, so that it is in today's predicament.

"From the perspective of the opponents, it is still necessary to close the siege, and the most likely thing is that their reinforcements are coming, and they already have the absolute advantage of encircling and annihilating us." Shi Alimen was very nervous, he insisted on not withdrawing with a trace of luck when he fell into the trap, if he returned defeated, Ashina will certainly bear the main responsibility, but his future is also over, it is really a jade burner.

Ashina frowned aggressively and shook his head slightly, "If the white wolf comes with reinforcements, is it necessary for him to besiege and kill him overnight?" Of course, it is to paralyze us, hold us back, wait until reinforcements creep into the battlefield, and then launch a sharp blow. ”

"Could it be that their reinforcements have already arrived, already on the battlefield?" Salimen became more and more nervous.

"Are our scouts all blind?" Ashina disagreed, "The battlefield is so big, the weather is so bad, our scouts are scattered on all sides, and a large number of white wolf reinforcements have entered the battlefield, how can we not see it?" ”

Shi Alimen glanced at Ashina, and stopped talking, thinking to himself, could it be that according to what you said, our reinforcements are still killed? But the main force of the Tooth Banner is here, and the remaining part is left behind to guard the Tooth Banner, and part of the Middle-earth army that is blocking Yanbei on the front line of the Lightning River, how can there be reinforcements to enter Anzhou?

"Shrink your defense and wait and see." Shi Alimen resolutely changed his position and resolutely made a suggestion, "If you can't do anything, you should quickly leave the battlefield and evacuate quickly." ”

Ashina sneered, you were also scared sometimes, and now you have to take the initiative to evacuate, don't you sacrifice your life to pull me off the horse? Why don't you fight to the end? "Since this is the case, then order all the troops to fight and retreat, shrink the defense, and be ready to evacuate at any time."
