Early the next morning.

The brilliant sunlight shines on the vast wasteland, quiet and peaceful.

A large army slowly walked out of the Yumen Pass, straight into the sun, the leader was Qin Huaidao, waited for a night without seeing the Turkic attack, has not received a message from Hanzhou Sanchen Feige for several days, it is estimated that the carrier pigeon was shot, the situation is unknown, and no more time can be wasted.

As for An Guogong, he left with his clan soldiers, there was enough food in the city, plus 10,000 Turkic reinforcements were captured, horses and weapons were captured, and a lot of trenches were dug outside the city, and the 1,000 captives continued to dig, and it was not a big problem to hold on for a while.

As for the Turks in Dunhuang City, there is no hurry!

As long as you take Yangguan, you can get in touch with Hanzhou, and then it will be much easier to go back and clean up Dunhuang.

The three cities of Hanzhou are all waiting for news of reinforcements, and there is no time to delay.

After leaving the city, Qin Huaidao ordered the army to speed up, rushing forward like a rolling torrent, the horse's hooves roared, resounding through the wilderness, and the frightened birds in the distance scattered and fled.

Yumen Pass is only about 30 kilometers away from Yangguan in a straight line.

War horses gallop wildly, and it doesn't take an hour to arrive.

Sure enough, there were Turkic battle flags floating on the Yangguan, countless people stood on the city wall, with bows and arrows, with a cold expression, and a general on the city wall above the city gate was raising his eyes and talking to the people around him.

Qin Huaidao ordered the army to stop while observing Yangguan.

Yangguan towers on the Dundun Mountain, relying on this Dundun Mountain, far and near a hundred miles in full view, and the desert beach of later generations is different, now the oasis is full of land, a river flows forward leisurely, it can be said that the water is the pass, according to the river when the danger, and the north and south of the Yumen Pass echo.

Many houses, farmland, and canals were built on both sides of the riverbank, but the houses were burned, and the corpses of the slaughtered were faintly visible.

This scene made Qin Huaidao angry, and his eyes fell on Yangguan in front again, Dundun Mountain is a little steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not conducive to the deployment of troops, it is definitely not possible to attack strongly, and he looked back at Wang Hu.

Wang Hu hurriedly urged him to step forward, hugged his fists and said, "Young master? ”

"The artillery battalion is ready, the fire covers the brothers to kill, and the battle is decided."

"Obey!" Wang Hu hurried to prepare.

Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Ying, pointed to the burned house not far away, and continued: "See that over there?" Obviously, it was reclaimed and built by the families of the Tang troops stationed there, but they were all burned down and killed, and these beasts could not be left, so the special operations division rushed up with the cover of artillery fire, and did not leave a single one, avenging the tragic death of the Tang army. ”

"Obey!" Luo Ying also hurried to prepare.

Soon, the artillery battalion rushed to a stone's throw away with grenadiers and shells, and the people in Yangguan in this position could not shoot, but everyone could achieve accurate shelling.

Arrange the grenadiers one by one, adjust the direction, and correct the angle.

The first regiment of the special operations division was all veterans, and once again took on the task of attacking the fortified positions, and everyone stepped forward, with crossbows in their hands and knives at their waists and hips, and they were eager to try.

Soon, the artillery battalion was ready.

Luo Wu was worried about an accident, so he personally ran over to check the angle, picked up a grenadier and locked the position of the city gate on the mountain, and immediately looked at Luo Ying, seeing Luo Ying nodding and preparing to shell, he found that there was a person coming down from the mountain, without a weapon, Luo Wu couldn't help but look at Qin Huaidao.

"Wait a minute, let's see how it goes." Qin Huaidao didn't mind waiting a few more minutes.

Soon, the man stepped forward, his face full of arrogance, and shouted in a not very proficient Tang language: "Let your general come out and answer." ”

Luo Ying stepped forward, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at a corpse: "If there is a fart, let it go." ”

The other party felt the murderous aura on Luo Ying's body, was stunned for a moment, and then said in shame: "My lord is in a good mood today, saying that as long as you put down your weapons and allow you to be slaves, otherwise you will all be killed, the great Turks are invincible, don't know how to lift them." ”

"You're looking for death!" Luo Ying was furious.

"If you don't want to die, come and attack." The other party dropped a sentence and turned around and ran.

At this time, countless Turks suddenly appeared on the mountain in front of them, eye-to-eye about 3,000, stretched their bows and arrows, aimed at the bottom of the mountain, and blocked almost all the routes up the mountain.

Three thousand people shoot arrows at the same time, and they also occupy high and low, the threat is very great, and if there are no 10,000 or 20,000 people to fill in, don't want to attack the mountain, no wonder these Turks are so arrogant.

Luo Ying's face turned blue with anger, and he picked up the repeater for a moment.

The crossbow lost its way through the man's body, collapsed to the ground, and looked at Luo Ying incredulously, wondering where Luo Ying's confidence came from, wasn't he afraid of too many casualties? Gritting his teeth, he pointed at Luo Ying and said, "You...... I'll be waiting for you below, the great Turkic warriors will kill you all, help me...... Avenge. ”

After speaking, he tilted his head and lost his life.

"Still want revenge?"

Luo Ying spat disdainfully and scolded: "Even if Lao Tzu goes to the underworld, he will summon his brothers to kill you again, and don't think about living in peace if you die." As he spoke, he looked at Luo Wu.

"Fire!"

Luo Wu was blown up by the arrogant and arrogant Turkic popularity, and he actually dared to come up and provoke, and wanted to be a slave, go to your uncle, as soon as his hand was loosened, the cannonball slipped and fell off the grenadier.

"Tong!"

The grenadier whistled out of its chamber, flew away with Luo Wu's thick killing intent, and slammed into the city gate.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the stone shattered.

The wooden gates were blown away, and a large part of the city wall collapsed, and countless people fell to the ground unsteadily.

On the mountain, the Turks watched this scene in a daze, their eyes full of shock, and they no longer had their previous arrogance.

"Free Shelling!" Luo Wu roared angrily.

The artillerymen slid the shells that had been prepared long ago into the grenadiers.

"Boom, boom!"

On the mountain, fireballs exploded everywhere, and the terrifying shock wave shook the Turks to death and flew away, and the survivors stood stunned, motionless, the first time they encountered this kind of attack, they didn't know how to dodge, they were all blown up.

"Boom, boom!"

Another round of shells washed the ground, falling towards the crowded area, and the terrifying fireball engulfed and tore people apart.

"Ahh

Many people caught fire and ran wildly.

Luo Ying saw that the enemy army was in chaos, and there was no time to counterattack, so he couldn't miss the opportunity, so he shouted: "One regiment, give Lao Tzu to attack from the front, and the second and third regiments are outflanked on both sides, remember, don't leave one, kill!" ”

After speaking, Luo Ying took the lead and rushed towards the mountain.

"Kill—"

The three regiments roared and rushed forward, fighting with a fierce spirit.

"Quick, one more round, I'll aim for the castle." Luo Wu also yelled.

"Hugh Hugh!"

One shell after another tore through the void, drawing a strange line of death, which landed precisely in the city, exploding a cloud of skyrocketing fire, and the screams were heart-rending and resounded in the sky.

Soon, a large group of Turks rushed out of the castle.

Qin Huaidao shrank when he saw this scene, there were still so many people hidden, I am afraid that there are more than three thousand people in this Yangguan, no wonder he was so arrogant just now, and sent people down to provoke, this is to provoke himself to attack desperately, so he is calculating, and shouted: "Artillery camp, aim in the direction of the castle, and there will be another salvo." ”

It is better to bomb the enemy if it is concentrated, and it is not certain who calculates whom.

The artillery battalion heard the order and acted quickly.

Another cannonball was fired, most of which landed inside the castle, and some outside the castle, killing a large number of the Turks who rushed out.

But more Turkic soldiers rushed out of the castle.

Qin Huaidao stared closely at the Turkic people who swarmed out of the gate of the castle, and felt more and more that something was wrong, there were probably five thousand people hidden there, fortunately, there were cannons, if they attacked it, even if they killed the Turkic archers outside at any cost, they would all be killed by the Turks in the castle.

"What a radical method, what a trap."

Qin Huaidao was furious and shouted, "Artillery battalion, one more round." ”

The Turks occupy favorable terrain and have bows and arrows, so it is not too big to fail, and the special warfare divisions attacking on the back will suffer heavy casualties.

"All of them!"

Shells whistled away, large parts of the castle were blown up, the gates collapsed, and the dust was flying, and a large number of Turks could be seen fleeing in panic.

Seeing that it was almost over, Qin Huaidao signaled the artillery battalion to pause and looked at the special operations division that had already attacked.

The special operations division is worthy of being an elite division, and its skills and tactics are very good, with a group of three to form an attack triangle, two people to cover, one person to take the opportunity to charge, alternate cover, constantly change positions, and advance quickly.

Moreover, two people cover one person, which greatly reduces casualties.

Soon, the special operations division rushed to the top of the mountain, the crossbow was missed, and without caring about replacing it, he threw the grenade, and took the opportunity to charge, and slashed with a knife when he got close.

The eight knives are wide open and close, simple and rough, and are most suitable for battlefield fighting.
