Chapter 293: Bloody Battle Against Evil Sun Ridge (1)
Stubbornly and happily said to Jieli Khan: "Please rest assured, with 20,000 reinforcements, the ministers will definitely be able to defend the Evil Sun Ridge." ”
Jieli Khan sighed and said, "Ben Khan can only give you 20,000 reinforcements. In the future, if you ask for it again, Ben Khan will have no troops to send. Ben Khan still has to keep a large army to attack the Tang army and counterattack the Tang army, and he can't put the army on the Evil Yang Ridge. ”
Zhi Sili happily led 20,000 reinforcements back to Evil Yang Ridge. Soon, the situation in the Evil Yang Ridge was brought under control, and the Tang attack was once again repelled by the Turks.
At night, outside the tent of Li Ji of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the wind was howling, there was no moon, and under the reflection of the torches, the armor worn by a team of Tang soldiers emitted a faint cold light, and the faces of the soldiers were covered with fatigue and smoke left by the days of battle.
Surrounded by the generals, Li Ji slowly walked out of the tent, and said to the soldiers with a serious face: "It's been two days, two days in a row, and our 400,000 troops haven't taken the Evil Yang Ridge. This commander ordered that in the early morning of tomorrow, the whole army will assault, and it must capture the Evil Yang Ridge, and if it cannot capture the Evil Yang Ridge, it will never withdraw its troops. ”
As he spoke, Li Ji looked at Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and ordered: "General Chai, tomorrow you command the army to attack from the front, no matter how many people die, you must not stop!" ”
Then, Li Ji snatched a battle flag from a standard-bearer, took a few steps, and thrust it into the ground: "This commander will also choose 5,000 people who dare to die to climb the wall of the Evil Yang Ridge from the valley cliff behind the Evil Yang Ridge. is not an only son, has no wife and children at home, and is willing to stand under this battle flag for the imperial court! ”
After that, Li Ji was the first to stand under the battle flag.
After a brief moment of silence, the generals and soldiers in the line rushed to the battle flag.
A junior colonel with a color on his arm squeezed to the front, and said to Li Ji with tears in his eyes: "Marshal, you are the commander of the army. You stay in this handsome tent, strategize, let us go to this task of breaking through the Evil Yang Ridge, we must live up to the trust of the marshal, and before it gets dark tomorrow, we will definitely take the Evil Yang Ridge down to the marshal. ”
The soldiers chimed in.
Li Ji was moved to tears. But he refused. He said loudly: "Soldiers, taking the Evil Yang Ridge will not only give my Tang Dynasty an advantage in the decisive battle with the Turks, but also make my Tang Dynasty's 400,000 troops unite as one, completely defeat the Turkic army, completely defeat the Great Turkic Khanate, and make the entire Tang Dynasty the most powerful country in the whole world, and from then on, all nations will come to court." Glory to the fullest. And if we can't take the Evil Yang Ridge, our Datang will inevitably be swallowed up by the Turks, and the people of Datang will also become slaves of the Turks, and they will never be able to turn over. It is of great significance to take the Evil Yang Ridge, and Ben Shuai will be with you until he completely takes it down. ”
Li Ji's words made the soldiers boil. More and more people gathered behind Li Ji.
Late at night. Li Ji led a carefully selected group of 5,000 people who dared to die and set off in the cold wind. At dawn, Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, also led the 12th Guards Army to attack the Evil Yang Ridge, and a fierce battle started on the passages around the Evil Yang Ridge.
Stubbornly lost his strength and hurriedly came to the wall, what was shown in front of him was a terrifying offensive that he had never seen before, and the Tang army seemed to be dying, and took the cloud ladder to attack the Evil Yang Ridge. Constantly some Tang soldiers were pierced by spears and fell off the wall. Beneath the wall, the blood of thousands of corpses stained the earth red, forming a thin stream.
Stubbornly shouting frantically, Chai Shao is also shouting desperately. No one could hear what was being shouted clearly, and all the voices were drowned out by the word "kill" that burst out of thousands of mouths.
Chai Shao was wearing armor and a handsome helmet, and under the escort of his personal guards, he rushed to the front of the army. The dazzling handsome helmet was unusually eye-catching in the attacking Tang army, inspiring the Tang Dynasty soldiers to rush forward desperately, and also attracting the dense bows and arrows of the Turkic archers on the Evil Yang Ridge, and the guards guarding Chai Shao suffered heavy casualties, but Chai Shao still rushed forward to kill without his life, and he inspired the Tang Dynasty soldiers with his actions.
A dark arrow galloped down from the Evil Yang Ridge, only hitting Chai Shao's forehead, and immediately blood flowed all over his face, the guards guarding Chai Shao hurriedly covered Chai Shao's retreat, Chai Shao refused to retreat and said: "Now the Tang army is paying attention to the general, if the general retreats, it will inevitably shake the military heart of my Datang soldiers, so no matter what, you can't retreat, you can only attack forward." ”
With tears in his eyes, the commander of the guards said, "What about the general's injuries?" ”
Chai Shao replied: "After attacking the Evil Yang Ridge, we will deal with the general's injuries." If you don't break through the Evil Yang Ridge, you will swear not to remove this arrow. ”
With that, Chai Shao rushed to the front of the team again.
The guards followed closely, and the Tang soldiers saw that Li Ji, the deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the champion general of the Tang Dynasty, personally led 5,000 people who dared to die last night, climbing up from the cliff behind the Evil Yang Ridge, and Chai Shao, the general of the Tang Zuojin Wuwei, rushed to the forefront of the Tang Army with arrows on his head, and the Tang soldiers suddenly boosted their morale, and they wanted to rush to the Evil Yang Ridge cottage like a rolling tide.
Half an hour later, a junior colonel rushed to Chai Shao and said excitedly: "General, look, behind the Evil Yang Ridge." ”
The earth-shattering shouts and killings around him made Chai Shao unable to hear anything.
The little colonel pointed to the cliff behind the Evil Sun Ridge.
Chai Shao followed the little school's hand and looked up, his expression suddenly froze.
A broken banner with the character "Tang" appeared in a corner of the wall of the Evil Yang Ridge, which was the 5,000 people who dared to die led by the champion general Li Ji, who climbed up from the cliff and the sneak attack was successful.
Tears welled up in Chai Shao's eyes, he threw down the sword that had been cut off, took off the armor on his upper body, pulled out a spear from the corpse of a Turk, shouted, climbed a ladder that had just been erected, and the Tang army, which had been greatly boosted, mustered up the courage and strength to attack the wall.
Under the attack of the dead soldiers led by Li Ji and the army led by Chai Shao, the Evil Yang Ridge was quickly breached, and the Turkic general lost his strength and fled from the Evil Yang Ridge under the escort of the remnants.
Li Ji walked through the battlefield full of corpses and walked into the Evil Yang Ridge Pass, looking at the young faces that had frozen forever, there was no trace of a smile on his face.
Chai Shao was also forced by the guards to bring in Lang Zhong to deal with his injuries after he fully recovered the Evil Yang Ridge. Since then, the battle of Evil Yang Ridge has been declared over, and the entire Evil Yang Ridge has been captured by the Tang Dynasty army after paying an extremely painful price, and the Tang army has thus grasped the initiative in the decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.
