As night falls, visibility? It was low, the cold wind was getting more and more biting, people were sleepy and horses were tired, and the battle situation in Donghu was also changing rapidly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Turks continued to attack, but the offensive had gradually weakened, mainly using the advantage of the Ma army to outflank the left and right flanks of the East Lake garrison line, and their intention to encircle and annihilate the East Lake garrison was clear at a glance.

The alliance horse army immediately launched a counterattack, and the commander of the Thunder Third Army, Hu Luba, and the two governors of Lei and Yu, who insulted the king's department, commanded their officers and men to concentrate on attacking the enemy's front to outflank and control the strings, and tried their best to prevent the enemy from encircling him.

The battle on the two flanks was stalemate, but the Turks had pounced on all fronts and had an absolute advantage in strength, and once the defenders of Donghu were surrounded, it was difficult to hold on to the lack of food, grass and food, so the situation was very unfavorable to the defenders of the alliance.

In the middle of the night, another Middle-earth infantry army in the fort evacuated in a panic. Obviously, the Middle-earth people were worried about being surrounded, and had decided to abandon the East Lake Fortress and withdraw to the Ghost City, but the fighting was still fierce, and they could only gradually break away from the battlefield, so as not to throw themselves into chaos and rout on all fronts.

Ashina was relieved to receive the news, and immediately ordered the front-line commander Ashina Aswin, to make the bluff more powerful, to give the enemy a greater deterrent, to force the enemy to speed up the escape, and at the same time take advantage of the flaws caused by the gradual withdrawal of the enemy army, and do everything possible to seize the fighters, if you can take the opportunity to encircle and annihilate one of them, it will definitely help to conquer the ghost city.

In the middle of the night, the last thousand or so Chinese infantry troops in the fort mounted their war horses and roared away. The Middle-Turkish Horse Army followed closely behind, retreated on all fronts, and went straight to the Ghost City.

The Turks successfully captured Donghushu, although Aswin failed to seize the fighter to inflict heavy damage on the opponent, the icing on the cake, but the purpose of this battle has been achieved, Ashina was overjoyed, and decisively ordered, in one go, to kill the ghost side of the city, surround the ghost side city, and not give the opponent a chance to breathe.

On October 23, in the early morning, the city of Ghost Fang fell into the siege of the Turkic army on all sides.

After the Turks completed a series of siege arrangements, the exhausted soldiers immediately seized the time to rest to regain their strength, and the snow-covered battlefield ushered in a brief silence, snoring in the howling cold wind.

Ashina was also exhausted and unable to support him, and after giving the order, he closed his heavy eyelids and fell asleep in the low and narrow marching tent wrapped in thick hair. In his sleep, he once again bathed in the bloody battlefield, commanded his soldiers and countless Middle-earth troops to fight fiercely in the vast grassland, drums and trumpets were noisy, the sound of killing was like thunder, arrows were like rain, corpses were all over the field, blood flowed like a river, and suddenly a horse fell from the sky, a bloody long knife slashed into the air, and the breath of death firmly bound him, so that he could not move, Ashina was terrified, struggled desperately, opened his mouth and let out a terrible scream, but to no avail, only saw the long knife approaching, saw a hideous face suddenly enlarged, and saw Sen Sen's white hair flying in the air.

Ashina woke up aggressively, his eyes widened, what he saw was Aswin's handsome face that was cold and nervous, and what he heard was Aswin's anxious and anxious shout, and he suddenly realized that it was a nightmare just now, and the fear dissipated in an instant, but even so, he was still in a cold sweat, and the boundless fear of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made him suffocated, his heart palpitated, and his heart trembled.

Ashina aggressively lifted off the thick hair on his body, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and cast a puzzled look at Aswin while stabilizing his chaotic mind.

"Scouts are urgent, a large number of Middle-earth troops and Xi people are surrounding from all directions." Aswin's tone was hurried, but not flustered, and it was clear that the situation was still under control and had not yet endangered his own safety.

Ashina's aggressive heartbeat suddenly intensified, his heart trembled again, and a sense of foreboding arose, could it be that the worst and most impossible prediction had come true? Could it be that the people of Middle-earth have defeated Ah Huizheng, or that reinforcements from the Great Wall have arrived on the ghost side? Could it be that the ghost party is really a huge trap?

Ashina's expression was stiff, ignorant and stunned, then he turned over and jumped up, and asked eagerly, "When is it?" ”

"It's past noon."

As soon as he closed his eyes, he slept for more than an hour, and Ashina couldn't help but feel ashamed secretly, "When did you find the traces of the enemy?" ”

"About a moment ago, the scouts who went deep into Songshan to investigate were the first to spot the enemy's tracks, and then the scouts who went south along Suotoushui also saw that the enemy army was rapidly coming north." Aswin replied, "The scout Pegasus who was exploring the southwest just now reported that they had also found a large number of enemy troops in the area of Mutai Village. ”

"What about the west? Is there any trace of the enemy in the East Lake to the first line of Qixingbo? Is there an enemy in the pine forest to the northwest? Ashina asked again.

"There's no news for the time being, and the scouts haven't reported yet."

"Send more scouts to step up the exploration of the first line of Donghushu, Qixingbo, and Taoshui to ensure the safety of the retreat." Ashina said aggressively, "The enemy has set up an ambush in advance, which is obviously a trap, but what the purpose is, it remains to be seen." ”

Aswin nodded, "Judging from the current situation, the enemy army lured the enemy, set up an ambush, and the momentum of encirclement and annihilation has been completed, but our side has strong troops and strong strength, and the reinforcements of the tooth banner can also come quickly, so even if the people of Middle-earth have defeated Ah Huizheng and have coerced the Xi tribes to rush to the ghost side, they do not have the strength to encircle and annihilate us at all, at most it is a defeat for both sides, unless the army in the Great Wall has arrived, there is no possibility of defeating us at all." ”

Ashina agreed with Aswin's analysis, and immediately ordered all units to pay close attention to the enemy's movements and prepare for battle; He also urgently told Tutun Ashi De Mohuang, who stayed behind in the tooth banner, to immediately send reinforcements to Taoshui to support the ghost battlefield at any time; He also ordered the garrison troops in Taoshui, Qixingbo, and Donghu to heighten their vigilance and make every effort to ensure the safety of the army's retreat.

The Turks became nervous, and groups of scouts rushed out of the camp, facing the biting cold wind, and galloped across the vast snowy fields, looking for enemy traces.

Ashina Du, Dagan Shi Alimen, Suni Ashina Aswin, and Lost Bi Ashdeba Kushui, as well as several Jie Lifa and several important subordinates of the Tooth Banner, gathered in the tent of Shuai, anxiously waiting for the scout to send back the news, while gathering in front of the map to analyze and deduce.

With the passage of time, the news has increased rapidly, and the development of the ghost battle situation has gradually become clear, and even the changes in the situation in Anzhou can be estimated.

It is expected that all the strings of the Xi people's humiliation of the king are put into the battlefield, but unexpectedly, the control strings of the Xi Mohefu Division, Mukun Division, and Murod Department also appeared on the battlefield in a grand manner, and what especially surprised the Turks was that there was also a Ahui Department on the battlefield to control the strings, and there was an Anzhou army composed of Anzhou's native Han surnames and Lu surnames. The Xi clan suddenly appeared a Hui tribe, and it is obvious that the Ah Hui clan annexed the Qi clan, so what about Ah Huizheng? If you don't see the banner of King Xi, does it mean that Ah Huizheng is dead? The Xi Ahui alliance has fallen apart? But these are actually not important, the important thing is that the five Xi tribes and the local forces of Anzhou have defected, and the appearance of the five Xi tribes and the Anzhou army on the battlefield has proved that they have all surrendered to Middle-earth, and have become vassals of Middle-earth, charging for Middle-earth.

Fortunately, the number of Middle-earth troops on the battlefield is still within an acceptable range, and it is still the so-called Middle-earth rebel army that plagued the lightning plains before, and judging from the many banners that have been discovered, the Middle-earth people have also come out with all their might, except for the banners of the third army of the alliance and the feather cavalry, which have not yet been discovered, other armies such as the alliance tiger ben, Fengyun, hussars, leopard cavalry, the first, second, fourth, and fifth armies, as well as the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth armies of the Thunder to which the alliance horse army belongs, all appeared on the battlefield.

This can also confirm one thing, the army in the Great Wall has either not yet exited, or is on the way north has not yet entered the battlefield, and this is the key to determine the outcome of this battle, the Turks must fight quickly, can not delay, once the stalemate, the army in the Great Wall also under the banner of the rebels in Middle-earth to kill the ghost side, then the Turks will be defeated.

Ashina looked at the mark of the enemy army marked on the map, as if he saw an open pocket, and the Turkic army was like a hungry wolf, only caring about catching prey, and rushed into this pocket, now the prey is in the mouth, if you want to eat, you must bear the serious consequences after the pocket is sealed, either trapped in the bag and wiped out, or bite through the pocket to escape from nature, but the price must be scarred and dying, and the prey that eats into the mouth must be obediently spit out, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Ashina sighed secretly, her mood was very gloomy, helpless and pessimistic. He made a thousand calculations, but he didn't count that Ah Huizheng and the five tribes of the Xi tribe surrendered without a fight, and even when the situation still had room to save and was not yet in a desperate situation, he did not make any resistance, and happily gave Anzhou to Middle-earth, and also helped Middle-earth to besiege his suzerain, the Great Khanate. How can this be reasonable, the Xi people are too shameless, and Ah Hui is too despicable, and not killing is not enough to vent the hatred in his heart. But from another point of view, Ah Huizheng and the Xi tribes are also very resolute, since Anzhou has become the gladiatorial arena of the two powerful people of Middle-earth and Turkic, the Xi people may be wiped out at any time, it is better to gamble, bet that Middle-earth is the final winner, betraying the Turks and following the middle-earth, maybe you can make a lot of money.

The decisive defection of the Xi clan is also a good excuse for Ashina to shirk responsibility. First of all, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I misjudged it, I made a mistake in decision-making, but this is not the key, the key is that even if I expected it, even if I got the news at the first time, I didn't have time to react, or, even if I reacted quickly, the result was the same, and I had to face the joint confrontation of the "Middle Earth rebels" and the five armies of the Xi people, and in the end, even if we won the battle and captured the ghost side, but the loss was incalculable.

Now that there is an excuse to shirk responsibility, and since Shibi Khan and the Tooth Tent have also made a decision and agreed to make a certain compromise to Middle-earth on the northeast battlefield, then in the face of today's passive situation, Ashina does not want to lose both, and does not want to bear the risk of serious damage to his own strength, so Ashina has the idea of retreating, and immediately ordered to immediately withdraw the encirclement of Ghost Fang City, and all the troops are concentrated in the west of Ghost Fang City, and they are ready to ensure that they have no worries about advancing and retreating, and minimize the risk first.

At this moment, the scouts urgently reported that the enemy's Tiger Army, the Thunder Second Army and the Anzhou Army had launched an attack on Donghu Shu to cut off their own retreat.

The high-level leaders of the tooth flag were all moved, the opponent was so fast, this was to seal the pocket, and to complete the encirclement.

"Quickly support Donghu Shu." Ashina pinched his finger at Aswin and ordered sharply, "Hold on to the fort at any cost." ”
