Chapter 290: Boring Siege Battle

In fact, the battle was a bit excessive, neither the Turks nor the puppet army expected that the big cadre army would enter the city, so there was no organized resistance at all, and the battle turned into a one-sided massacre.

Most of the Turkic soldiers who reacted in a hurry were guarding near the city gates, and when they saw something happening in the city, some wise people immediately went out of the city to report the news. Unfortunately, before the people stepped out of the city gate, a large number of cavalry poured out of the city. They did not attack the city either, but remained outside the gates and beheaded all those who fled out of the city.

When He Ziming saw the signal flare, he took thousands of temporarily summoned soldiers to the stables and killed all the people guarding the horses. After killing all the people in the stable, He Ziming's group was tasked with pacifying the residents in Rouyuan City and spreading the word about the arrival of the imperial court's rescuers.

The battle in the city was quickly over, and it only took a little more than an hour for the city of Rouyuan, which had fallen to the Turks, to return to the hands of the people of Daqian.

More than 6,000 people were killed in this battle, and the remaining 13,000 were captured, and not a single one escaped.

Li Guanqi's side only lost more than 2,000 people, most of them were wounded, less than 1,000 were killed in the battle, and none of the Xiao cavalry guards were killed.

As a result, even Li Guanqi himself was dumbfounded. Surprised and delighted, Li Guanqi couldn't help but shake his head and let out a wry smile - who said that the Turks were invincible? Most of the soldiers he brought this time were new soldiers, but they also tortured the Turks to death. Perhaps, the war between the Great Cadres and the Turks has always been at an absolute disadvantage, and the fundamental reason is not in combat strength, but in spirit. The big cadres are used to losing, and there is no such thing as winning at all.

This reminded Li Guanqi of the era before he traveled through, the national football team had been invincible in South Korea for 30 years, is the gap between the two really that big? I'm afraid not necessarily, but there is no belief in defeating the other party in my heart, so I am becoming less and less confident. More and more dare to lose, and after losing, even the Maldives, Thailand and the like can't be defeated.

This battle made Li Guanqi more soberly realize that in the war of the cold weapon era, the role of morale and belief in victory is far greater than the soldier's fighting skills. This further strengthened his belief in the complete defeat of the Turks, Tibetans, and other countries.

After a short rest, Li Guanqi ordered all the Turkic captives to be killed. And for those puppet armies, they will be reorganized, and then they will join forces and rush back to the Kuyang Pass with grain and grass - it is almost time for the Sharo Khan to receive the letter, and the Kuyang Pass will be crushed by the army again.

As for who was responsible for staying in Rouyuan City, after thinking about it, Li Guanqi decided to appoint Ye Wen as the temporary city guard, instead of He Ziming or Nameless. First, because the Yang Pass is the main battlefield, He Ziming and Wuming have to undertake combat missions; Second, Ye Wen is also familiar with this place; Third, this is also an opportunity to show his trust in Ye Wen.

The day after Li Guanqi led his troops back to the Qiyang Pass, the advance of the Turkic army came to the pass again. Leading the army was Li Guanqi's acquaintance, Ashina, the Western Turkic arrowhead.

Although Li Guanqi was ready to meet the enemy, he actually did not think that the Turks would carry out a strong attack, because as an important border town, the Qiyang Pass is a typical city with high walls and thick walls, and the fortress is fully equipped with equipment to defend the city.

In fact, Li Guanqi didn't want to play either. Regardless of whether the situation is favorable to you or not, fighting a war will eventually kill people. Enough people have died in the past two days, there is no need to die again. Moreover, Li Guanqi is not in a hurry at all now, Zhao Zheng is now leading people to plague the Turks' hometown, and when the news from the rear comes, the Turks will not be far from withdrawing their troops. Isn't there a cloud in the art of war? A soldier who surrenders without a fight is the best.

So. Li Guanqi told Ashina bluntly at the gate: "I have brought 50,000 elite soldiers with me this time, and the total number of troops in the city at this moment is 70,000. ”

Li Guanqi's meaning is obvious: You have only come here a total of 150,000 people this time, plus the dead in front, and now the remaining troops are only 130,000 or 40,000, and the troops in my city have exceeded half of you. In this case. Only a fool would choose to siege the city. Because even if there is a huge disparity in the combat strength of the soldiers on both sides, if you want to storm a dangerous pass like Chuyang Pass, the offensive and defensive forces of two to one are still too uncertain.

Li Guanqi was originally "well-intentioned", the purpose was to give everyone a rest. But he overestimated Ashina's self-esteem and overestimated Ashina's IQ. His "frankness" was understood by Ashina as provocative and arrogant.

So, the big arrow Ashina angrily gave the order to attack the city.

Ladder, archery, kill, ladder, archery, kill......

These voices constantly sounded in the Turkic army under the pass......

And if it is closed, it is to throw stones, rockets, drenching oil, pushing ladders, defending the city, killing the people who climb the city, throwing stones, rockets, drenching oil, pushing the ladders, guarding the city, killing the people who climb the city...............

Li Guanqi actually didn't brag much, although he didn't bring any 50,000 elite soldiers, but the total number of the reorganized puppet army and the original prisoners was almost 70,000, although there were still 10,000 female soldiers in it.

However, guests should not underestimate women, they are ruthless, and their combat effectiveness is not much better than that of men.

Therefore, Li Guanqi can't use the many troops now, because due to the width of the city wall, it is enough to use only 3,000 people at a time to fight against the Turks on the head of the city.

The gate of the city was extremely strong, and it was impossible to penetrate it with the siege equipment of the Turkic army, so Li Guanqi concentrated the main defensive force on the head of the city and the city wall.

With such a fearless defensive battle, Li Guanqi played a little like he wanted to sleep. The reserves in his hands are mostly used softly, even if it is a wave of half an hour, it is enough to replace it for a whole day, in this case, it is a little difficult to lose.

However, the resilience and willfulness of the Turks are indeed admirable, and the siege battle was fought from noon until the sun sank, and the stunned never stopped.

However, the balance of attack and defense was not greatly broken, it was nothing more than that the Turkic army relied on the large number of people, and the large cadre army relied on the terrain.

The troops on the side of Qiyang Pass are rotated for half a time, and it is already the turn of the female soldiers led by Lu Yuting at this time. Originally, Li Guanqi did not agree to let the female soldiers directly participate in the war, but he couldn't bear the repeated requests of these women's soldiers, and finally had to nod and agree that they would also participate in the rotation.

After a day of fighting, the Turks actually didn't have much energy to fight, and the war relied on a single drum, and after so long and no progress was made, no one could keep breathing.

Even Ashina is also thinking about whether it is time to collect troops first, and wait until tomorrow to continue the siege.

At this moment, the female soldiers ascended the towers and walls...... (To be continued......)
