Chapter 965: Battle of Taiyuan (6)

Kang Yanli's face sank, he was obviously very unhappy with Ah Cai's extraneous branches, but it seemed that everyone was very interested, so he raised his voice and said: "There is nothing on the Zihe side, it's just that a Sui army scout of several hundred people wants to sneak attack Yangma City, but it has been repelled by the defenders, don't listen to all kinds of rumors, the top priority now is to recapture Lou Fu Pass, and you don't have to care about other things."

The big tent suddenly exploded like a frying pan, and everyone was talking, how could they not care about the situation in the north, Kang Sheli shouted loudly: "Now I will deploy tomorrow's attack, tomorrow will be the main force of Xue Yantuo's department, the Sijie department and the Qigu department......."

His voice was drowned out by the shouting and scolding of the tent.

Ah Cai rushed back to Sijie camp in a rage, he turned over and dismounted and shouted: "Order the whole army to prepare to return north!" ”

Qiao Boci, the deputy general who had just caught up, was startled and asked urgently, "Young Chief, what's wrong?" ”

Ah Cai said with an angry face: "Kang Sheli asked us to send 10,000 troops to attack the city tomorrow, I can't accept it anymore, either his own army will also go up, or I will leave, and I will never give him my life." ”

Qiao Boci hurriedly persuaded: "Young Chief calm down first, it's a matter of whether the Sijie Department can survive in the grassland, don't be angry." ”

Ah Cai sneered and said: "Every time you persuade me like this, so I endure it again and again, but this time is different, the Sui army has completely annihilated the Zihe Turkic army, if they continue to go north, kill to the royal court, and even kill the Sijie department, what can we resist?" ”

Qiao Boci was about to say more, but Ah Cai interrupted him forcefully, "Our army of 30,000 has already lost 17,000 people, but when we reaped the benefits, the khan kicked us away like dogs, we are not even as good as dogs, dogs can still reward a bone for their masters, what about us?" Nothing! Kang Shealy will drink up the last bit of our blood and eat up all the meat, I won't do it, I'll leave tonight, and I'll bear all the consequences!" ”

Qiao Boci sighed and said, "I can understand the anger of the young chief, but we can't be the first birds, and if we want to go, others will go first, so be it!" I'll go talk to Kang Shealy and ask him to cancel our battle order for tomorrow, and we'll bear with it a little longer. ”

Although Ah Cai was extremely resentful in his heart, he still respected Qiao Boci very much, he slowly calmed down, and asked coldly, "What if he refuses to cancel?" ”

"If he really refuses to cancel, then we will withdraw to Shanyang County, we will not retreat north, but we will not be able to kill and wound any more soldiers."

Ah Cai nodded, "Okay! You go talk to him, and I'll put up with it again. ”

Qiao Boci turned over and hurried to Kang Sheli's big tent, while Ah Cai returned to his big tent, drinking and waiting for Qiao Boci's news.

More than half an hour later, a soldier reported: "General Qiao Boci has returned." ”

"Let him in!"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Qiao Boci walked in briskly and said with a smile: "It's not worth it!" ”

"Konshally agreed?"

Qiao Boci sat down and nodded: "He agrees that we will play in the last round, and tomorrow's battle will be changed to the Hui and Servant Bone Division, if we can successfully win the Lou Fu Pass tomorrow, we will not play." ”

Ah Cai said coldly: "He seems to have forgotten the Sui army in Shanyang County and Yanmen County, will Zhang Xuan make Lou Fuguan a lonely city?" ”

Qiao Boci was stunned, he didn't expect this question, Ah Cai drank a bowl of wine again, snorted and said: "The Sui army has obviously laid a net of heaven and earth, if you can't take the Lou Fu Pass, I'm afraid that even Luo Khan won't be able to return to the grassland, I want to see how the Turks end up in the end." ”

........

Wei Wentong won a precious day and a night, and deployed all the 5,000 troops, this time the defense was much weaker than the first time, mainly because there were no trebuchets and rhubarb crossbows, only bows and crossbows, and even a large number of rolling logs prepared in the past were used by the Turkic soldiers to barbecue meat, and only a pile of stones remained on the head of the city.

But the morale of the Sui soldiers was high, and they had no way to retreat, so they could only fight on their backs.

As soon as it was dawn, the rhythmic sound of war drums could be heard from the north, 'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

The black-pressed Turkic army began to kill at Lou Fu Pass, and all the 60,000 Turkic troops were dispatched, and the endless army was murderous, with banners waving, spears like forests, and the army undulating like waves, and the low sound of antlers was constantly heard, 'Woo-'.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The majestic war drums of the Turkic army echoed in the wilderness ten miles north of Loufu Pass, and in the sound of thousands of drums beating at the same time, a cavalry phalanx of 10,000 Turks surrounded the main general Kang Sheli and slowly approached.

On the front and rear sides of the cavalry phalanx were four cavalry teams of 10,000 people, and the black oppressive army was boundless and stretched for miles.

There are 10,000 Turkic troops guarding Yangma City by the river more than ten miles north of the army, and this time to attack Lou Fu Pass, Kang Sheli made all the bets, he must recapture Lou Fu Pass at all costs, otherwise the Khan's army will be extremely dangerous in the south.

Riding on a tall and divine horse, Kang Shali looked at Lou Fu Pass, which stood several miles away, and he realized that they had made a mistake, and if Lou Fu Pass had been destroyed in one fell swoop, there would be no trouble today.

However, he also knew that Chu Luo Khan also wanted to use Lou Fu Pass to cut the Sui army into two sections, Lou Fu Pass was like a sharp knife, killing the enemy and wounding him, the key was to see whose hands it was in.

He turned around to look, only to see countless people looking at him, Kang Xuanli immediately raised the golden wolf's head and shouted with an arrow, "The first army is marching towards Loufu Pass!" ”

The first army was the first day of the attack army formed improvised, consisting of 20,000 people, including 10,000 from the Xue Yantuo and Gelulu divisions as the right army, and 10,000 from the Hui and Fugu divisions as the left army.

20,000 troops marched towards Loufu Pass, thousands of big drums beating, drums like thunder, dozens of miles away can be heard, 20,000 troops are murderous, the dense army is followed by hundreds of siege ladders, the Turkic army carries them forward bravely, with an unstoppable murderous aura swept away to Loufu Pass ten miles away.

........

The north city wall of Lou Fu Pass is full of flags, three thousand Sui troops stand in line at the head of the city, he is dressed in bright light armor, wearing an eagle helmet, holding a foot bow and a crossbow, all of them have a resolute gaze, they have lost Lou Fu Pass once, but they will never lose the second time.

The Turkic army stopped three miles away from Loufu Pass, the drums ceased, and the 20,000-strong army began to quickly line up the attacking formation, and two attacking phalanxes appeared outside the city, and Kang Sheli rode out of the ranks, looking at the city that had left them with a humiliation, the walls of which shone in the sun in a dark red sheen, which was the bloodstain left by the First Great War.

"General, I'm afraid I won't be able to take this city today." Captain Basil beside him worriedly.

"If you can't take it, take it!"

Kang Shali gritted his teeth, if he couldn't take it within three days, his position in the Khan's heart would be in danger, "No matter what, it must be taken within three days, so that the Qarlu tribe will go first!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! The earth-shattering drums sounded again, and 5,000 Turkic troops poured out like a tide, carrying more than 100 siege ladders to the tower.

This is the Qarluq tribe of the Turkic army, they belong to one of the Jinshan tribes, and their status in the Turks is low, and they are the first to take the lead in this dangerous war.

Hundreds of siege ladders lined up, vigorously rushed to Lou Fu Pass, five thousand soldiers dressed in leather armor, holding shields and spears, shouting killing sound shook the sky, they were getting closer and closer to Lou Fu City, a thousand steps, five hundred steps......

.........

On the city wall, Wei Wentong was fully armored, wearing an eagle helmet, holding a big knife in his hand, standing on top of the city tower, like a god descending from heaven.

He raised his broadsword high and shouted to the army at the head of the city: "The Turkic Khan and 100,000 troops have been intercepted by us in Taiyuan County, and the key to whether we can wipe them all out lies in whether we can hold the Lou Fu Pass.

Brothers, today we are not fighting for individuals, nor for the city, but for thousands of fathers and villagers, and for the dignity of the Han nation. ”

In the rumbling war drums from outside the city, the blood of the five thousand soldiers boiled, and they raised their bows and crossbows and swords and shouted with all their might: "Fight for His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" Fight for the Great Sui Empire! ”

The shouts shook the city, Wei Wentong waved his big knife and shouted: "The enemy has arrived, ready to shoot!" ”

At the head of the city, 3,000 Sui crossbowmen stood at the head of the north city, and the other 2,000 archers stood at the head of the south city.

Wei Wentong saw that the enemy army had already rushed one hundred and fifty steps, and immediately shouted: "Crossbow arrow shooting!" ”

With the sound of bangzi, the Sui army arrows on the city were like rain, three thousand crossbow arrows were intensively shot at the enemy, the Turkic army raised their shields to meet each other, the shield of the Qarlu people was a simple wooden shield, the wooden board was thin, this kind of shield could only withstand the bow and arrow on the grassland, could not resist the Sui army's crossbow arrows, and could not resist the heavy arrows that followed.

However, many soldiers covered their shields with several layers of raw cowhide, barely able to withstand the crossbow arrows fired from a hundred and fifty paces away, but after entering a hundred paces, most of the shields were pierced by the powerful crossbow arrows, and the soldiers screamed and were shot down by the crossbow arrows.

After entering the fifty paces, the 2,000 archers in the southern city also began to shoot, and the arrows they shot were for the defense of the city, longer and heavier than ordinary arrows, and when shot from a high place, they would shoot at the enemy with their own weight, and the lethality was extremely strong.

The first group of more than 1,000 people rushed under the city walls,

'Boom! With a loud bang, the rubble splashed everywhere, and the first siege ladder was set up at the head of the city, followed by more than 30 siege ladders successively at the head of the city, and 3,000 Turkic soldiers rushed up like an ant colony, slashing with knives, stabbing with spears, and shooting arrows, desperately rushing to the head of the city.

The arrows on the city are like dense rain, the stones are smashed down like hailstones, the knife splits the spear and stabs, the flesh and blood fly, the Sui soldiers use a long fork to fork the siege ladder and push it outward, a long siege ladder is pushed out, and it flips backwards and down, and there is a terrible cry from the ladder.

At this time, the second group of 5,000 Xue Yantuo people arrived, and they began to counterattack with bows and arrows under the city, and the arrows were like dense rain, shooting towards the city, and the Sui soldiers were constantly shot, screaming and falling from the city, and the casualties on both sides gradually increased.

At this time, the dull drum beat of the Turkic army sounded again, and the 10,000 Turkic troops on the left also entered the battle, which was the army of the Servant Bone Department and the Hui Division, the red flag was flying on the city, and the main general Wei Wentong issued an order to increase the troops, and the 2,000 Sui troops in the southern city were transferred to the northern city, and also joined the fierce battle, and the war gradually entered the white heat.
