The biggest advantage of the Turkic cavalry is that they fight on the plains immediately, and the large corps fights in the field, and the Turkic cavalry has always come and gone like the wind, and the offensive is like a tide. But if it is a siege battle, the power of the Turkic cavalry is even more difficult to exert fifty percent.

And after being suddenly cut in half like now, half trapped in the city, and the important generals of the army were first cleared, the steppe wolf rode finally panicked. The small space inside the city gate made it impossible to organize a cavalry formation at all. At this time, nearly 8,000 cavalry in the city had entered the city, and the place at the city gate was not large, and most of the cavalry who entered the city had already marched along the Beicheng Street to the city. The team of 8,000 people was stretched into a long long snake formation, and at the beginning of the attack, the Xuanjia army not only blocked the city gate with huge stones.

Moreover, the Xuanjia army ambushed on both sides of the street also quickly used huge arrows to cut the north street of the city into a small section, and the long snake formation of the Turkic cavalry suddenly became dozens of small snake formations.

The front and back were blocked, the queue was separated, and there were rows of shops on the left and right. The Turkic cavalry was completely disorganized, and they galloped back and forth, but there was no way out, but they could only run in panic in the small space that was enclosed.

Although the Xuanjia Army in the first battle followed Li Shimin's deployment and operated step by step at the beginning, it was also panicked. In the best time of the first round of attacks, the Xuanjia army did not deal much effective blow to the 8,000 Turkic cavalry in the city. For half an hour, less than two thousand of the eight thousand Turkic cavalry fell.

Li Shimin looked at the battle situation below and shook his head, this is still a closed Turk, more against less. If it was a head-to-head duel, he already believed that his Xuanjia army would have already collapsed. Seeing that the following has finally succeeded in dividing the Turks into dozens of sections, not only dividing their men and horses, but also restricting the play of the cavalry. Li Shimin, who had put on a set of armor again, had already walked out with a Mo knife in his hand.

This whole set of armor equipment and Mo Dao were all equipment when he was in the Mo Dao Army in Liaodong. Seeing that the Turks had already dismounted and gathered in circles, and that it was no longer possible to cause much damage to the Turks with crossbow arrows alone, Li Shimin immediately decided to break the Turks in sections with more strikes and fewer blows.

"Heavy infantry assembled, arrayed!" Standing on the north street of the city, Li Shimin roared loudly and waved out his sword.

The heavy infantrymen who had been temporarily used as spear throwers had already put on double infantry armor with the help of Minzhuang, and each one held a five-meter-long steel spear made of all-steel, constantly gathering behind Li Shimin.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Three steps and one kill, the unique way of adjusting the array in the attack of the Modao Army back then has now been used by Li Shimin in the Xuanjia heavy infantry at all. The wind was howling, the rain was majestic, and the raindrops the size of beans smashed on the steel spear, splashing patches of rain and mist, making this moving copper wall and iron wall gun forest even more fierce and hideous.

By this time, the Turks had finally understood everything. It turned out that the Sui army that I encountered halfway earlier was really not just a scout cavalry, they were a large army heading north. And the cunning Sui army actually hid in the city when they arrived and tricked them into the city.

Angry, the sudden people felt that they had been deceived, and one by one they roared, "Avenge the adults and kill the Sui people!" A roar as high as a roar came and went, and the Turks abandoned their horses one by one to fight on foot, forming a phalanx one by one. The shieldman is in front, the spearman is in the center, and the scimitar man is on both wings.

The Turkic cavalry blocked outside the city was also panicked, and they didn't even know what was going on except that they were ambushed. Through the city gates, they could only hear the constant sound of bowstrings and the screams from inside. When they heard the sound of the tide of avenging the adults, they finally knew that Burishi was dead. The faces of those who remained outside the city were like ashes, and everyone understood that Bulisheh was the younger brother of Shibi Great Khan, and the henchman of Lingli Khan.

If he dies and they go back like this, none of them will live.

Several commanders who did not enter the city urgently discussed and decided that regardless of success or failure, they must also break through this county town and kill all the Sui troops in the city. Although this can't make Bu Li come back to life, it is finally an explanation that can show his hand. One after another, the Turks outside the city began to attack the city frantically, cutting down the stones at the gate of the city with big trees, and using the trunks of large trees to make simple siege ladders. …,

Although the equipment is extremely rudimentary, the city walls of Dali County are not tall, but they can also make their equipment useful.

Seeing that the Turks outside the city did not leave, but launched a fierce offensive, Li Shimin had to order to intensify the attack. The heavy infantry marched with heavy steps, wielding heavy steel spears, stabbing and slapping, such a heavy and long weapon, whether it was stabbed or slapped, the middle was killed.

Heavy infantry broke through the Turkic defenses in front, while other light infantry and cavalry armed with spears and crossbows continued to expand their gains. Having lost the gallop and collision of the war horse, the powerful leather wolf rider on horseback was now just a group of second-rate infantry. And after being divided and surrounded by layers, these second-rate infantry faced several times or even ten times their own Xuanjia soldiers, and the fate of defeat was already doomed.

One after another, the Turks died under the spears of the Xuanjia army, but the fierce Turks did not surrender to the death, even if they died, until they died in battle. The counterattack before death made the Xuanjia army pay a great price in the first actual battle. The 10,000 Xuanjia army, together with the defenders in the city, fought bloodily in the rain for more than three hours before finally annihilating the 8,000 cavalry who entered the city.

In this battle, Li Shimin personally put on the battle, and after a few hours, he had already become a bloody man.

"My lord, the last Turkic array has also been broken, and there is not a single one of the eight thousand Turkic cavalry left, and it has been completely annihilated by us." Li Xiaogong carried a horse lance, rode his horse and roared excitedly.

"Okay, just kill them all." Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened to the Turks outside the city?" Thinking of the Turkic cavalry outside the city, Li Shimin's heart was not calm, originally he thought that he would put half of it into the city first, and he could quickly annihilate the cavalry entering the city. Unexpectedly, only 8,000 cavalry had already made the Xuanjia Army fight for more than three hours. And now there are 7,000 cavalry outside, and what is even more worrying is that the Turkic follow-up army is likely to arrive soon. A battle was won, but it did not change the current situation in the slightest. This made Li Shimin feel a sense of frustration and could not be happy.

"The Turks are still attacking the city, my lord, what now, do you continue to let the Turks in?"

As soon as Li Xiaogong's words fell, he suddenly heard a tidal cheer of Turkic people at the city gate. Immediately after that, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the Turkic cavalry broke through the city gate and entered the city.

Li Shimin's face changed, and he yelled, "Assemble, assemble!" ”

Crossbow arrows, spears, horses, stones, and things that can be used, the Xuanjia army desperately blocked them. There is only one purpose, to block the momentum of the Turkic cavalry, only to make the Turkic cavalry unable to rush, then the battle will still be fought, if it can't be the Xuanjia Army, which has been fighting bloodily for several hours, today will be their first battle, and it will also be their last battle.

The Xuanjia army attacked the Turks with crossbow arrows, spears and spears, and the Turks fought back with cavalry scimitars. The Yanjia army is crazy and the Turkic cavalry is even more crazy, now is their only hope, if they can't completely annihilate this Sui army, these people don't have to go back.

The two sides surrounded Beichengmen Street, desperately tearing and killing. The Turkic cavalry, riding on their horses, faced the crossbow arrows and javelin positions that Li Shimin hastily organized, and rushed forward one after another with their flesh and blood without the slightest scruples.

One after another the Turkic cavalry fell, but more cavalry rushed up. The scimitar that was like lightning, every time it slashed in front of the Xuanjia Army, one of the Xuanjia soldiers would fall to the ground. Li Shimin's position had to fight and retreat, from the North City Gate, along the North Gate Street, leaving the whole street full of corpses, and the blood mixed with the rain.

"My lord, we can't go on like this, the Xuanjia Army has suffered heavy casualties, and we have already lost half of our brothers. If we continue to fight, we will win in the end, and we will almost run out. Chai Shao rushed over with a bloody horizontal knife and yelled beside Li Shimin.

Li Shimin wiped a handful of blood from his face, and smiled bitterly, "We have no way out, no one thought that this Turkic army would be so crazy, this is completely the same way of playing." Now these Turks are all crazy, and if we retreat now, we will be the first to die. ”

"But if you continue to fight, the best result is to die together! We can't do that, we have to figure it out. Chai Shao said bitterly, these 10,000 Xuanjia troops were all trained by their own hands,...,

This is their only capital in the troubled times, and now they are going to lose everything.

"Die, I have to die in battle, I, Li Shimin, will definitely not be worse than others, what he can do, I can do." Li Shimin looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

The longer the battle was fought, the more unfavorable it was to the Xuanjia Army, who had been fighting in the heavy rain for so long, and the crossbow machines in the hands of the soldiers had been fighting for a long time in the rain, and most of them had broken down and could not be used.

And without the crossbow arrow, a weapon that kills xìng, Xuanjia grass can only support itself under the flood of Turkic attacks, and fight and retreat. But everyone knows that if they continue like this, it won't be long before they have no way back.

"Erlang, let's withdraw, the green mountains left are here, don't be afraid of no firewood." Chai Shao grabbed Li Shimin's hand and persuaded loudly.

Li Shimin looked at the corpses and blood all over the ground in the heavy rain in front of him, and his face was expressionless, "Am I really inferior to him?" Am I really inferior to him? Li Shimin stood there and ignored Chai Shao, just repeating it over and over again, as if he was talking to himself and asking Chai Shao.

Chai Shao and Li Shimin have been together for so long, so they naturally know what he meant. sighed in his heart, and secretly said that Li Shimin still cared too much about him. Maybe it was because he had stayed in his army for too long and had been influenced by him too much. So much so that he is so obsessed with it, full of thoughts about surpassing him. Maybe it was the result of that attack on Chen Kefu, and that betrayal may make him unforgettable, and he will be haunted from then on.

"How long have we been at war with the Turks?" Li Shimin's voice was a little hoarse, and he turned around and asked Chai Shaodao next to him.

Chai Shao looked at the sky, although the rain was still falling, it was already a little lighter. Yesterday they arrived in Shenwu County in the evening, and they fought all night, and it was already dawn at this time. At least six or seven hours.

"I guess it's been six hours, maybe seven, it's about the same."

Li Shimin's eyes darkened all of a sudden, and he lost his brilliance. "It's late, it's too late, maybe God has already doomed this ending, no matter how hard you ask, you can't escape the arrangement of fate."

Chai Shao grabbed Li Shimin's shoulder and shook it vigorously a few times, "Wake up, what is destined, what fate is arranged, these are just dogmas that bind ordinary people." Erlang, are you an ordinary man, do you remember what you said when you first met me and Wanbao? I still remember, I remember you saying that you only believe in yourself, that my life is up to me. How convincing and admirable you were at that time, but why are you holding back now? We're not done yet, we still have 5,000 Xuanjia Army, even if the Xuanjia Army is all gone. As long as we can go back, we can build another 20,000 and 30,000 Xuanjia army, and we can't take the initiative to give up until the last moment! ”

Li Shimin sighed, "It's been six hours, and the Turkic army must be almost here." Even if we retreat now, how far can we escape? ”

"Then you have to give it a try, if you don't try, how do you know?"

was said by Chai Shao, Li Shimin finally cheered up again, "Okay, my life is up to me, I don't believe it, I really can't compare to him." Give me the order, prepare the war horses, and prepare to retreat from the south gate. ”

Chai Shao had just turned around, but there was a sudden movement behind the Turks.

"Woooooo

A loud trumpet sounded from the north gate.

Li Shimin and Chai Shao both changed their sè at the same time, but it was Li Shimin's Mo knife that fell to the ground.

"Could it really be that God is going to kill me! Thief God, I don't accept it! Li Shimin looked up to the sky and sighed, the rain poured on his face, and the tears flowing from his eyes mixed into his mouth, extremely bitter.

Even Chai Shao was disillusioned at this time, and his whole spirit disappeared all at once. said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, and when the Turkic army arrived, they had no chance to escape. Even if they wanted to defend the city, it was already broken. Fight, you can't win, you can't go, you can't go. There is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, neither of them thought that the first battle of the Xuanjia Army would actually become the last battle. Looking at this small county town, the faces of the two were full of unwillingness.

Are you really going to die in this nameless place?!。
