Chapter 303: Difficult to Walk (End)
Moreover, it was said that the plan of the surprise attack of Anluo failed, and the Turks fought for several days without success, and Anluo was furious, and he found the leaders below for days to reprimand him, which made his subordinates complain.
The picture estimated the time and reminded Anluo that it was time to withdraw the army, but was rejected by Anluo again.
"Don't withdraw, before you take this army, you can't even think of withdrawing!" Anluo said to the picture with some anger: "My father Khan, he can keep an eye on this, if we don't get any back, the territory, the slaves, the cattle and sheep will be recovered!" Photo ...... Wait another day, no, two days, in two days, I will definitely be able to break through this stockade! ”
Why don't you know about the picture? With the character of the Tuobo Khan, if the two of them win this battle, they will naturally be happy, if they lose this battle, I am afraid that they will attract severe punishment, as the descendants of the Ashina family, they cannot be without slaves and cattle and sheep, these are the basis of symbolizing their power! But if you don't withdraw, what can you do? So he said solemnly:
"If we don't retreat, it's too late, and we underestimate the Central Plains characters again. Gao Baoning ordered him to advance deeply, obviously wanting him to drag us to death here and buy him time. We must not fall for him, before his plan succeeds, it is best to withdraw first! ”
"No, those Qi people on the other side are now at the end of their crossbows, as long as our Turkic warriors rush a few more times, they will definitely be able to blow the lamp and pull out the wax!"
"This is a tough battle, not a field battle, and it can't be done by rushing forward in a formation! With so many horses buried in such a narrow passage, and archers on both sides, this is a dangerous place, and in normal times we can besiege them until the food and grass are exhausted, and now we don't have this time! If you don't run, you'll soon become a captive like Uncle Sullen! ”
"......" Anluo was hard-hearted and wanted to fight.
The picture couldn't resist him, saying:
"You can't tell the difference between good and bad, and I won't tell you more, so as not to waste each other's time.
"We are divided into two ways, if you continue to fight, I won't accompany you!"
After that, he rushed out of the door angrily, ordered the wolf riders under his command, and returned north at night. The movement of the Eastern Route Army was very large, and the Eastern Route Army was in an uproar, all kinds of rumors and rumors spread, and the army's heart began to waver. Anluo was already difficult to ride a tiger at this moment, and he couldn't fight it, so in the following days, he launched a more ferocious offensive against the Qi army!
Gao Gong has been living a very bad life these days, although he has cracked the sinister intentions of the Turks, but after days of hard fighting, the Qi army has suffered a lot of losses and great attrition! The Turks were restless, and Gao Gong was equally worried, sometimes waking up from his sleep in the middle of the night. I had to sleep three or four times a night, and before dawn, I recruited a few more subordinates:
The subordinates were summoned by Gao Gong, hurriedly draped up, raised their feet and went out to look at the arrow tower, only to see the thorn Shi standing in front of the railing, looking at the flat ground in the distance, silent, the Turks also got up very early, and the large army came in large numbers, but saw the banner hunting in front, nearly 10,000 barbarians who drank blood lined up in a chaotic queue, majestic, and dark clouds spread out on the ground within a radius of several miles.
Seeing the cautious appearance of his subordinates, Gao Gong pointed to the army outside the city and asked, "You say, how many Turks are there outside the city?" ”
This is a question to send off, and the subordinates looked at each other and replied: "There should be no less than 10,000 cavalry." ”
"How many of us are left?"
"When we went out on the expedition, it was three thousand, but now it is less than a thousand, most of them are veterans brought out by our Pingzhou, and the cavalry has been lost, including the sentinel horse, less than thirty people."
"Do you still have the strength to fight?"
"Yes!" The subordinates said: "After a series of tough battles, new soldiers become veterans, almost everyone has the ability to attack the fortified positions in armor, only one point, those Khitan people, Xi people, seem to be not very emotionally stable, these several offensive and defensive hard battles, they are all used as the main archers to make it, and they also rush to the front when they counter-charge, and the loss is much greater than that of the Han soldiers, and now it is ...... Quite complaining......"
"Complaints?" Gao Gong touched the beard on his lips, he hadn't trimmed it for a few days, his beard had grown long, "first write them down heavily in the merit book, and then disrupt them and scatter them among the teams." I don't care what method you use, put their heads, ...... first"
He turned his back to the soldiers and quietly made a killing gesture, and his subordinates naturally understood.
"It's not that I'm unkind, I can't tolerate the slightest mistake at this time, there is no leader, I am their backbone, and it is not difficult to re-clean people's hearts. But as a matter of urgency, let's get through this first! ”
"Three days, we delay for another three days, and we will be rescued soon!"
The lieutenant general felt that he understood Gao Gong's words, so he asked tentatively: "Assassin Shi, why don't you go and get a white flag first, and try to surrender first?" I can delay it for a day or two. ”
"Stupid! Fraud? Regardless of whether you actually surrender or not, the soldiers will feel that it is okay to surrender. We are already at a disadvantage, and once people's hearts are scattered, they will never be able to stand up again! ”
"The assassin refuses to surrender, so let's start to give orders to beat the drums, and prepare the foot soldiers to rush into battle in armor, so that they can be caught off guard and can drag on for a day or two."
"It's even more stupid!"
"That'...... What is the idea of the history of the assassin? ”
"What can I think?" Gao Gong glanced at the pressed Turkic wolf rider and said, "Guard." ”
"Those who are soldiers, including generals at all levels, all wear two layers of armor, bring bows and crossbows, and kill the enemy with me!"
The advance force led by Anluo had arrived outside the gate. Twenty or thirty miles away, it only took more than half an hour to arrive, which is not unfast. The Qi army defending the city saw a large group of cavalry galloping from the north, and they first looked for cover, drew their bows and arrows, and did not produce the current panic of the enemy.
About two arrows away from the gate, Anra ordered his troops to halt their advance. The galloping cavalry quickly lined up, and the wing-shaped battle array of geese suddenly spread out on the frozen ground outside the moat. An Luo squinted his eyes at the towering military barricade, signaled to the people around him, and immediately someone rushed forward, using stumbling Chinese and Xianbei dialects to persuade him to surrender.
The gatekeeper was impatient, and shot him to death with an arrow, and no one dared to go up and make noise. Anluo suppressed the anger in his chest, and he was about to go crazy, but it was also a habit to go, he waved back, and the black pressed human head pressed up...... Gao Gong's eyes widened, and he shouted to boost morale, and arrows rained down from the front of the camp like a torrential rain! A new round of offensive and defensive battles begins!
Anluo was watching the battle, waiting for the rout of the Qi army, when a horse suddenly galloped and rolled off his horse: "Ten miles away, I found the banner of the Qi army!" Qi people are here! ”
Anluo almost fell off the horse, and then grabbed him by the neck and lifted him forward: "Have you seen clearly? Hugh is trying to bluff me! ”
"How dare the slave conceal it, the silver dragon flag on a black background, there is no doubt about the forbidden army of Qi State!"
The nobles, who were originally very calm, were shocked for a while, but they were instantly silent. Everything seemed to have lost its voice, there was silence between heaven and earth, smoke and dust were billowing below the Qi army's barricades, hundreds of armor soldiers were bending their bows and shooting on it, fighting and retreating, and the shouts of killing were gradually approaching, it seemed that the Turks had the upper hand, and were expected to take one of the three camps of the Qi army before dark.
But no one would think about it anymore, and Anluo, who was already soaked from behind, looked at the farther position on the battlefield in front of him, but he still only felt that it was a mess, and he couldn't figure out anything, and continued to sit on the horse's back. The people around him were gossiping, "Young master, you can't sit still here, this place is not conducive to our army's field battle, Qi Renjia rides our army's belly and back to suffer the enemy, it's better to withdraw first!" ”
And at this moment, at the easternmost end of the battlefield, a thunderous roar suddenly came, and An Luo looked up in amazement, and a cavalry wrapped in black armor rushed over from a distance, and instantly chiseled into the Turkic array! They wielded long knives and horses, to tear a passage from the Turks' large array, fighting for days and days of stalemate, the morale of the Turks has long been slack, there is no longer the slightest will to fight, the attack is fierce, but just thinking that sooner or later it will break the mentality of the Qi camp, and now suddenly see another fierce iron cavalry rushing forward, what will be the will to fight there? And the Qi army is more than that, behind them, the smoke and dust are billowing out, maybe how many people there are! It was just a charge, and the Turkic army was in chaos, throwing away their armor and rushing backwards, crowding and trampling on people, and countless casualties!
Seeing that this was a foregone conclusion, Anluo didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and he didn't care about continuing to hold the young master's shelf, but roared hard and ordered: "Withdraw!" Come on! After that, he took the lead and walked first, and a group of nobles followed behind in embarrassment, for fear that if they ran slowly, they would call Qi people to chase after them and slaughter them from behind!
Seeing the sudden collapse of the army, the Turks who had finally rushed to Zhailan were dumbfounded, and regardless of the height, they rolled down from the height in a panic, and then got up and limped away...... Qi Jun cheered, Gao Gong stood dumbfounded, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Why did Gao Baoning move so fast, didn't he say that it would be three days later?" He immediately made up his mind, didn't open the door of the village first, and waited and watched for a while.
In the midst of the chaos, a very burly cavalryman with a banner came on horseback, and seeing that there was only one arrow left from the gatehouse, he quickly took a three-foot-long horned bow from the right rear side of the saddle, and at the same time stretched out his left hand and pulled out a feathered arrow from the quiver behind him.
Without waiting for the horse to stop, he put the arrow on the string, drew the bow and shot it towards the tower, only to hear a "whoosh", and the arrow was like lightning, and struck the highest fence at the gatehouse. Then he turned his horse's head, and more than a dozen knights still followed him, returned to the front of the troops, and pursued the Turks......
A soldier plucked the arrow from the wooden pillar and saw a letter tied to the shaft, so he took it down and handed it to the lieutenant who had rushed to hear the news. The deputy general did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted to Gao Gong, and presented the arrow with both hands. Gao Gong pondered for a while, took the letter from the shaft of the arrow, and unfolded it, and it turned out to be a strip of cloth full of words:
"Teach Gao Gong Gao Thorn History to know that Yanzong, the deputy governor of Jinyang and King Yanzong of Ande, led the army to attack the Turks, and will arrive here in the near future, don't worry!"
The tone is very relaxed. I don't see the slightest concern for the king's safety......
Gao Gong accepted the letter, and then looked at the Turkic people who were chased all over the mountains like cattle and sheep, and were speechless for a while.
