The Xue Yantuo Khan Court was built in imitation of the structure of Chang'an, standing on the grassland, which can be regarded as a unique fortified city on the grassland. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, the steppe people are good at shooting, let them occupy the highest point, shoot from top to bottom, and want to conquer the city, it is really not that easy.

But just like the strategy adopted by Du He, as long as the Tang army and Xue Yantuo's army stand at the same height, then all problems will be solved.

After all, the bow and arrow, in the face of high-tech crossbows, will eventually fall into inferiority.

On the night of the arrival of the Hui tribe, Li Ji invited Tumidu to come, warmly appeased him, informed Tumidu of the battle plan, and emphasized that whoever can capture Yinan is the leader of the battle.

Tumidu was most afraid of attacking the city, and was worried about how to deal with the current situation, but found that the Tang army had already thought of a strategy to break the enemy, and he was overjoyed, and praised Du He, who had a plan, was Sun Wu alive.

Du He was secretly funny, and his fascination was like a clown, completely unaware that he had let the old fox calculate.

Early the next morning, the Tang army and the Hui army, which had surrounded Xue Yantuo Khan's court, launched a big move to gather soil into a mountain.

The most indispensable thing on the grassland is soil, which can be dug at will.

Under the operation of tens of thousands of strong forces, piles of dirt mountains are gradually rising.

At first, Xue Yantuo didn't understand the intentions of the Tang army, and laughed on the towering city wall one by one. But as the earth mountain increased, some knowledgeable Xue Yantuo soldiers panicked. The gap in science and technology is also reflected here. If this tactic was used in the Tang Dynasty, the strong ballista and stone-throwing carts on the city wall would make the soldiers who built the earth mountain drunk to death.

But on this grassland, Xue Yantuo could only stare dryly.

The bolder ones opened the city gates, led the fine horsemen, and came out to make trouble.

But before they could approach, the crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty, like dogs, drove them back, and one person did not hinder them, but left a hundred corpses.

This is only for the Tang army, and the Hui army guarding the north of the city is a bit of a tragedy. They used bows and arrows, and the range was not better than Xue Yantuo, even if they wanted to build an earth mountain, they had to build it within Xue Yantuo's range, otherwise even if they built a soil mountain, they would not be able to shoot into the city. He could only tremble slightly and lean on the wooden shield under the arrow feathers, trembling and gathering into a mountain.

In less than three days, the eastern, western, and southern gates of the Xue Yantuo Khan's court each erected more than 50 earthen mountains, standing on the top of the earthen mountains higher than the enemy's city wall. The Hui army at the north gate was relatively poor, with only more than 30 seats.

The siege begins!

This is no longer a siege war, but a unilateral suppression.

The range of the Tang Dynasty's strong crossbow is more than one step better than Xue Yantuo's bow and arrow, and the Tang army standing on the earth mountain can easily shoot the crossbow arrows in their hands into the city, while Xue Yantuo's archers can't shoot the arrow feathers to the Tang army on the earth mountain even if they try their best.

Before an hour had passed, there was no one on Xue Yantuo's city walls. They simply abandoned the city and hid in the city.

The besieging army of the Tang army easily climbed the top of the city with simple equipment such as ladders and flying ropes, and occupied the walls of Xue Yantuo.

When the Tang soldiers on the city wall gathered to a certain number, they rushed down the city and started a street battle with Xue Yantuo. This street battle is dominated by foot soldiers, and the cavalry of the Tang Army is slightly inferior to Xue Yantuo by one or two, but the infantry is a few chips better than Xue Yantuo.

With their exquisite combat skills, tacit cooperation, and excellent equipment, they occupied the city gate with irresistible momentum and opened the closed gate.

The Tang army, which had long been ready, rushed in.

When Yi Nan learned that the city gate was lost, he knew that the general situation was gone, but he was not a figure who sat idly by. He is the best at forbearance, believing that as long as he lives, he will definitely have a chance to make a comeback. He asked the three generals to lead their troops to block the Tang Dynasty's army, and he led the remaining soldiers and horses straight to the north gate.

The Hui army at the north gate is a soft persimmon that can be pinched at will.

The Hui army was far less smooth than the Tang army, they were shooting at Xue Yantuo at the head of the city, with the same range, and no one could help anyone.

It wasn't until Yi Nan arrived and the city gates were wide open that the two sides ended shooting at each other.

Inside and outside the city walls, a vigorous white-knuckle battle was launched.

The fight here is exciting and intense, but Li Ji and Du He are leisurely drinking tea and chatting.

Du He listened to the battle report, and held sincere admiration for the famous general with a kind face and a black heart beside him, and at the same time mourned for Hui Hui. This black-hearted famous general first asked the Hui chieftain to help him with all his might, and then drove Yi Nan to the Hui side with a strong military momentum, intending to let Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui fight to the death, so that he could be a fisherman.

People, being black to this realm is already a skill that people look up to.

Although Du He didn't know how Hui Hui rose in history, he was sure that he met Li Ji in this parallel world, and he wanted to become the overlord of the grassland after Xue Yantuo as in history...... It's hard to !!

Yi Nan wants to break through, it is a battle of trapped beasts, the offensive is extremely fierce and strong, and Hui Fu's Tu Fan wants to capture Yi Nan alive and get the first credit, and he doesn't care about the casualties and the Yi Nan who broke through.

The two sides are fighting each other in the dark, and you are living or dead.

In terms of strength, Xue Yantuo is still better than Hui Hui, but Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses are killed from the city, while Hui Hui's military horses are surrounded from outside the city.

The situation on both sides is that Xue Yantuo is going out of the city little by little, and Hui is pressing on one by one. As a result, Hui Hui, who was inferior to Xue Yantuo in strength, fought happily with an enemy who was stronger than himself.

Xue Yantuo couldn't get out, and Hui couldn't get in.

The Tang army swept away the weak resistance behind him leisurely, and controlled the Xue Yantuo Khan Court step by step. The pressure made Hui Su resist, and they fought this battle quite easily.

After occupying Xue Yantuo's Khan's court, Li Ji ordered the three armies to put pressure on Xue Yantuo's rear.

Remember, this is pressing, not attacking. That is, to put the pressure on it, squeeze Xue Yantuo forward, and force Xue Yantuo to use all his strength on Hui Hui.

It's like milking a cow, Datang exerts force on this side, and the Xue Yantuo soldiers on the other end pour out of the city exponentially, it's really too crowded, and some even use various ropes to climb down from the city wall.

Xue Yantuo's strength was better than one after all, and under increasing pressure, there was a faint situation that could not be supported.

Du He, who was standing on a high place watching the play, discovered this and said: "It seems that Hui Su can't support it, let's fight quickly, don't play with fire***, let Yi Nan run away......"

Although Li Ji felt that Hui Hui could support him for a while, he also agreed to Du He's proposal for the sake of safety.

With a wave of the commanding flag, the Tang army made a painful move and launched the final slaughter of the Yi Nan who was fighting the trapped beast.

The Tang army was divided into five teams, Xue Rengui, Luo Tong, Xi Junmai, and Fang Yiai led the Zuo Wei guards to rush to the front line, and they had only one goal...... The khan of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan.

Yi Nan was trapped in the army, with the incomparably brave Tang Army behind him, and the Hui Army in front of him, who was not afraid of life and death, and did not care about casualties. Although the Hui army worked hard, this first merit still fell into the arms of Datang.

It is worth mentioning that the person who picked up the shit luck is none other than Xue Rengui, the fierce general in the Zuowei Guard Army and the future No. 1 general of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Rengui was brave and invincible on the battlefield, a Fang Tian painting halberd, no one could compete with it, chopping melons and vegetables, the first to kill in front of Yi Nan, and captured Yi Nan with one hand.

The rest of Xue Yantuo's soldiers, seeing that the Khan were all captured, their morale was greatly reduced, and they were either forced to surrender, or they were killed by the Tang soldiers or Hui soldiers in the end.

In this battle, the Tang army fought easily, and the real hero was the Hui army.

Of the 50,000 people who returned to the Hui, the number of dead in the battle was as high as 20,000, not including those who were seriously wounded and wounded.

Li Ji and Du He pretended to go to the Huifu military camp to offer condolences, and they also brought doctors and medicinal materials to do their best.

Li Ji even enthusiastically took Tumidu's hand and said: "This battle can be won, and the Hui army is indispensable." After returning to Chang'an, Li Ji will inevitably show His Majesty everything, and will repay the merits of the Hui army one by one. ”

Li Ji said that he would indeed truthfully report the merits of the Hui army, but there was a premise, to show everything to His Majesty, first show the ambition of the Hui army, and then talk about the merits of the Hui army.

Tu Fan is more than a flower intestine, where is Li Ji's opponent, he didn't notice it, tears of excitement welled up in his eyes, and he said passionately: "If you can serve His Majesty Tian Khan, even if you fight to the end, you will not hesitate." ”

The fall of Xue Yantuo means that a new round of reshuffle has been carried out on the grassland.

Here, the Tang Empire is also proving its strength to the world.

What about the steppe overlords, and what about the 300,000 army?

In the face of the conquest of the Tang Dynasty, in just half a year, the overlord was wiped out.

is what Li Shimin said when he set out on the expedition, "I let you be the overlord, you are, I don't let you be, you are nothing......"

Li Ji, who captured Xue Yantuo this time, did not hand over the grassland in his hands to anyone, but appeased the people on the spot, and did not give up the grassland to Xue Yantuo as he had broken the Turks before.

The Tang Dynasty entered the grassland, and no one could resist it.

Xue Yantuo has been destroyed, Du He did not return to Chang'an immediately, and he is still waiting for news of one person.

Ba Yuxing, until now Duhe still has news of Ba Yuxing, whether he is dead or alive, no one can be sure.

Du He walked into a courtyard in the remote west of the city of Xue Yantuo Khan's Court, which was the headquarters of Tayue Liuxiang in the city. It was here that Tayue Liuxiang worked for Datang in another way of fighting and provided favorable intelligence for Du He.

Being able to conquer Xue Yantuo so smoothly this time, this moon-stepping incense secretly transmits information, secretly destroys Xue Yantuo's materials, and secretly spreads gossip is inseparable.

"Childe, there is no news of Yuxing yet......" Seeing Du He, Huangfu Haohua reported the recent situation to Du He with red eyes. Huangfu Haohua and Ba Yuxing were the first confidants to follow Du He, and the relationship between the two was like brothers. In order to find Ba Yuxing's whereabouts, Huangfu Haohua has not rested for several days.

Du He nodded and ordered: "Keep looking, if Yu Xing is dead, there is no reason not to see the body, in case he is still alive, it means that he and Hou Jun are gathered together......"
