Chapter 1095: Bloody Battle Issyk-K

Until now, Pinto was still a little confused, he didn't know why there were Han people behind him? The only way to come from the west is to pass through Wangtenger Mountain, but there are mountain streams in many places. Of course, if you don't want to touch the mountain stream, you can only go straight along the ridge to the east.

Qi Bi He Li and Zhi Zhi Si Li all touched their heads in disbelief, they didn't know how to win this battle, and now the situation in Xiting Canyon is very weird, the west is occupied by the Tang army, the east is guarded by the Turks, and the two sides are looking at each other, and the atmosphere is extremely embarrassing. After Qi Bi He Li settled the battle, he led the stubborn Sili to find Fang Yiai, "General Fang, I waited for it to be served, but I didn't expect this Xiting Canyon to be really taken down by us." ”

Although the eastern side is still guarded by the Turks, he believes that it will not be long before the Turks can be driven away. Now that the entrance to the Xiting Gorge has been opened, as long as the Turks are not stupid, they will definitely give up the eastern half, a place that is not dangerous to defend, isn't it a waste of troops?

"Haha, it's been awarded, this time it's thanks to the help of General Su and the two generals, otherwise how could Fang have won Pinto so easily!" Fang Yiai still has to be modest, and everyone shares the credit together, so that it is easy to build a good relationship.

Pinto was brought over by Liang Tai, at this time Pinto already knew who appeared behind him, he knew that he would definitely die, but he still wanted to see what Fang Yiai looked like before he died. In the past, Pinto looked down on Gohringham and Dahal, who always made the Han people disgraced, especially Golingham. If it weren't for Yu Chan'er to take the opportunity to hide, otherwise his baby daughter would have been taken away or ruined by the Han people.

"You're Fang Yiai?" The shock in Pinto's heart is indescribable. This Han man is too young to lose to such a young man. It's really embarrassing.

"Why, if it's fake, Pinto, do you want to live, if you want to, tell Fang Mou about the military deployment of the Turks, Fang Mou will not only spare your life, but also give you endless glory and wealth!"

"Hey, hey. Han people, don't underestimate me Pinto, I was defeated by you today, and Lao Tzu has nothing to say. If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, you want Lao Tzu to surrender to you, don't be a fool dream! ”

Fang Yiai didn't care much, he didn't expect to convince Pinto, and he glanced at Liang Tai. He said indifferently, "Send someone to your majesty!" ”

In the eastern part of Xiting Canyon, Pinto's lieutenant is named Boguya, who is not the kind of reckless person, although he doesn't know how the west side was lost. But he knew he couldn't stay here any longer. Now the Han people are not strong enough to encircle and suppress the east, but once more Han armies pass through the canyon, the 50,000 troops in the east will suffer. The only way to do this is to withdraw, and the loss of Xiting Canyon is irreparable, but if these 50,000 Turkic warriors are left here, then the khan will kill people.

Bogu Adam immediately decided that he did not go directly, but first asked people to block the road to the north of the mountain, and then led his people to withdraw from the east of the mountain. Fortunately, Fang Yiai didn't think about eating Boguya's person in one bite, this person, he knew that he was enough, and being able to eat most of Pinto's centaurs in one fell swoop was already God's blessing, and the most important thing now was to guard Xiting Canyon.

At the Kobdo Pass, the Dulu Khan was drinking a little restlessly, and he didn't know what was going on, as if something was going to happen. Lu Khan hated his predictions very much, think about things, always good and not bad spirits, this is not more than midnight someone knocked on the door, "Khan, something happened in Xiting Canyon!" ”

Lulu Khan could hear that it was Dahal who spoke, and after the door opened, Dahal walked in with a calm face, "Khan, something is wrong, Xiting Canyon is lost"

"What?" Lulu Khan stood up suddenly, he felt his head dazed, and the man fell backwards, but fortunately, the guards beside him were quick and helped him. It took a long time for Lu Khan to calm down, and at this time his face was extremely pale, and his lips were still trembling, "How come?" Pinto's nearly 100,000 troops, how could the Han people break through the Xiting Gorge? ”

"Khan, I don't know the specific situation, I only know that I don't know what method the Han people used to appear on the western slope of the Xiting Gorge, and when he was caught off guard, he was taken by the Han people to take the western defense line, and even Pinto became a prisoner of the Han people!" There was a lot of helplessness in Dahal's tone, before the Turks and the Tang Dynasty could still be tied, but as soon as the Xiting Gorge was lost, it was equivalent to the door to enter the Turks was opened, and from now on, the initiative would fall into the hands of the Han people.

Lu Khan really wants to kill Pinto with one sword, this guy doesn't know how heavy Xiting Canyon is? If a choice were made from the Xiting Gorge and the Kobdo Pass, the Dulu Khan would rather lose the Kobdo Pass. To the north of the Xiting Gorge is the vast plain, where all the Turkic tribes will fall under the hooves of the Han people, and Pinto's sin is really too great.

"Khan, for the sake of today, it is not the time to hold anyone responsible, the Xiting Gorge has fallen, and the Han people will definitely gather most of their forces in the north of the Xiting Gorge, and the significance of us holding Kobdo is not too great!"

Lulu Khan closed his eyes gently, he had to admit that what Dahal said was the truth, exhaled, he reluctantly sat up straight, "Dahal, order Goringham to lead his men and horses to Issyk-Kul, and the five leopard divisions resting on the west side of Jinshan also rush to Issyk-Khan, in short, no matter how difficult it is, we must defend Issyk-Khan for Ben Khan!" ”

For a long time, the Turks are not good at building any defenses, they used to fight wars and fight others, and rarely defended the city, so there was no strong city in the Turkic territory, and even the wall of Sanmi Mountain in the Khan's court was only four zhang high. On the north side of the Xiting Gorge, only Issyk-Kul can be regarded as a strong city, Issyk-Kel was originally a military fortress built by the Huns in ancient times, which was originally intended to resist the Han army, and later was driven away by Huo Quai, Issyk-Ke was also deserted. Later, after the Turks occupied the area, Issyk-Kul was rebuilt after hundreds of years. Today, Issyk-Kul is the most fortified town in the Turkic territory. Issyk-Kul is surrounded by walls of brick and stone, with a height of five zhang, and there are many battlements on the walls. If Issyk-Kul can't hold it, then the Turks will really suffer a great disaster.

After learning the news that Fang Yiai took Xiting Canyon. Many people jumped up happily, Li Shimin was quite reserved, if it wasn't for the image of the emperor, he really wanted to run around the Khan Futu City twice.

"Your Majesty, now that the Xiting Gorge is in the hands of my Datang, the Turks will definitely shrink the defensive line, so the minister thinks that he should send a large army through the Xiting Gorge as soon as possible. Take Issyk-Kul as fast as possible, as long as Issyk-Kul falls into my hands, the Turks will no longer be able to stir up a big storm! ”

Li Ji's words also calmed down the excited ministers, and Li Shimin thought about it for a while. Then he ordered, "Li Ji and Zhang Liang listen to the order, and the two of you will lead an army of 120,000 to Xiting Canyon as soon as possible, and join up with the army of Qibi He Li there, and be sure to take Issyk-Ke as quickly as possible!" ”

"Whoa!" Li Ji and Zhang Liang happily took the order and left. From this time on, the entire Tang army was busy, and after Zhang Liang and others led the troops away, Li Shimin threw the army in the south of Kobdo to Liu Hongji and Qin Qiong, and led the guards to Xiting Gorge.

May 17. The sky was drizzling, but the haze in the hearts of the Turks was thicker than this sky, and now the Tang army was heavily deployed on the plain in front of Issyk-Kul, seeing that a great war was about to break out.

In fact, Li Ji planned to attack the city two days ago, but the weather was not beautiful, and it rained at an inopportune time. A rainy day is not a good thing for the besiegers. When the drizzle stopped and the sun broke through the clouds again, Li Jijun waved his flag, and the guards who had been waiting for a long time entered the battle sequence in batches.

Jin Ge Iron Horse, blood spilled on the field, every man could not help but boil his blood when he saw this scene, the sound of bull horns resounded throughout the battlefield, and the mighty pace of the Tang Army, the whole land trembled. The morale of the Tang army is like a rainbow, but the Turks have no way to retreat, they must hold Issyk-Kul, just like the Tang army must hold Chang'an City, this is not only a town, but also a kind of military spirit.

"Kill" a team of Tang troops holding a ladder to brave the Turkic arrow rain rushed to the city, the real siege battle, there is no conspiracy at all, when the stone and arrow rain fall, many soldiers snorted and lay on the ground, their wails are so harsh, but the soldiers behind did not stop. Attacking the city, that is, filling it with human lives, although Fang Yiai doesn't want to see this scene, but there is no good way, the mines are very powerful, but it is useless in the face of a fortified city like Issyk-Kul, and it is too dangerous to use mines in this place, the Turks are fully capable of detonating the mines, and the wounded will be the Tang soldiers.

The Turks guarded the head of the city like madmen, and it was difficult for the Tang soldiers to climb the top of the city, and even if a few went up, they were killed by the Machemitars of the Turks. The men of the Tang Dynasty have no bad seeds, a soldier has no knife, so he uses his hand to drag the Turks at the head of the city, and the Turks are also like beasts, he holds the Tang army soldier and jumps down the city, without accident, both of them fell to death.

In just one day, the walls of Issyk-Kul were dyed with blood, this battle was really too miserable, the Turks were miserable, the Tang army was even more miserable, and the besieging side always had to pay more than the defending side.

The next day, the Tang army sent a small number of siege vehicles, and the reason why there were not many siege vehicles was because they did not expect to attack Issyk-Kul at first. Because the siege engine was made improvised and there was no iron sheet to protect it, it was doused with oil by the Turks and burned clean, and many soldiers did not have time to escape, and were implicated by the oil.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, the Turks were really desperate, and he had attacked a lot of cities, but it was the first time he had encountered such a strong city. At noon, Li Shimin let the besiegers retreat, and now they must think of a good way, so strong attack on Issyk-Kul, even if they can take it, the loss will not be hurt.

"Your Majesty, do you think we can try it with mines? If we don't make a gap in Issyk-Kul, it will be too difficult for us to take Issyk-Kul! ”

Li Ji hadn't closed his eyes much in the past few days, and in order to be able to take Issyk, his head was big. Li Shimin didn't know the power of the mine, so he asked Fang Yiai, "Fang Jun, what do you think of this method, can you blow up a gap with a mine?" ”

"Father, this method is difficult to work, as far as the son-in-law knows, Issyk-Kul is mostly a foundation made of stones, and the city wall is also a stone brick, and there are stones inside, with the power of mines, it can't be blown up at all!"

"Hey!" Li Shimin let out a long sigh, now that Issyk-Ke is in front of him, if he doesn't take this place, he will naturally be unwilling in his heart.

After discussing for a long time, there was no good way, and after three days of continuous attack, Datang had already left the corpses of 20,000 soldiers around Issyk-Kul, but still failed to take Issyk-Kul. The battle is almost over here, and now the Tang soldiers are tired and their morale has been greatly damaged, and the Turks can hold Issyk-Kul, even if the gods bless them, it is impossible to go out of the city to fight back.
