Chapter Seventy-One: Withdrawal of Troops

Mo Si was reluctant to do the earth-filling work, and ordered people to start collecting stones, carry out a new wave of strikes, and prepare to break up the tents on the periphery so that they could inspect the internal situation.

Concentrated attack, the tent was quickly knocked down, the skeleton was smashed to the ground, and the silent sip got his wish.

Saw the impregnable pergola.

I thought that the head-on attack on the enemy was just to do reinforcement works for them.

The Turks have anger and remorse.

But more people have begun to fill in the traps, wielding forcibly requisitioned farm tools, digging and filling in pits so that they can support the weight of the iron cavalry in the event of a battle.

The Turks no longer had the patience to wait for them to run out of ammunition and food, and just wanted to kill them and give them a good time.

However, the Turks filled the pit on one side, and the Great Zhou people diverted water in the other half, and the soil was still soft.

The two sides were at a stalemate for three days and three nights.

Until the terrain of this trap is already higher than the rest of the place, and it is impossible for the water to flow high.

One side of the land has finally been filled.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

The Great Zhou soldiers were not frightened at all, they believed that their general would lead them to victory, as long as they obeyed orders.

Song Yan was also not optimistic about this small army, although there were some means, but the number was too small, and he was outnumbered, and he was able to delay for a while, and he could not escape the fate of defeat after all. The imperial court still has no information about reinforcements, and the Zhaozhou River is not wide, although they can escape from the waterway, but they ride lightly to help, and there are no boats, if they abandon the battle and flee directly, it is impossible for everyone to know the water.

The Turks were now full of confidence.

After eating and drinking, putting on armor, getting on the war horse, and with a silent order, countless warriors rushed towards the iron pergola.

The Turkic soldiers were arrayed, and the warrior army was already arrayed.

But behind the first row of shields, there were new trebuchets ready.

The stones collected by the Turks could not be wasted, and the stones were just right for the heavily armored cavalry.

After the cavalry was halfway through, Da Zhou began to throw stones.

Some of the stones hit the horses, the horses fell to the ground, and the Turkic soldiers were taken down. Some of the stones hit the armor of the Turkic soldiers, and the soldiers lost their balance and fell down.

The end of falling off the horse and falling to the ground waiting for them is to be trampled by the latecomers, and then the soul returns to their homeland.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty struggled to defeat the Turkic soldiers, and the Turkic soldiers sped up their speed, wanting to rush forward faster and avenge the blood feud of their compatriots.

The battlefield is unforgiving for everyone.

However, there is a modern soldier king in the Great Zhou.

After a rush of attack, the Turkic soldiers finally arrived at the battlefield.

The Great Zhou army was already in full array, using the most commonly used shields, spears and bows to line up to fight against the water.

If the cavalry could not break through the shield array, they would be shot into hedgehogs by the archers in the back row, and stabbed into a hornet's nest by the gunners in the middle.

If the shield formation cannot be held, the cavalry leader will drive straight in, knock down the shield men with great inertia, engage the spearmen for one round, and then massacre the archers in the back row one-sidedly.

The Turkic soldiers began to shout "kill".

The Great Zhou soldiers began to shout "kill, kill, kill".

The Turks began to attack, and the heavily armored horses and Turkic warriors began to ram into the shield array, and after round of impact, they retreated to both sides, and the cycle repeated.

Wait for the shield hand to run out.

The archers began to shoot incessantly, covering the entire cavalry of the Turkic storm, but due to the heavy armor of the opponents, few were able to shoot sharp arrows into exposed key parts. However, if you shoot a horse or cavalry in the eye, you can instantly destroy an enemy. An archer attack can inflict some damage on the armor and then give the gunner a chance.

The Turkic heavy cavalry attacked round after round, and the Great Zhou spearmen shot down many cavalry, but the shield array was still strong.

Heavy cavalry was basically invincible in the plains, but after the blows of the stones, the potholes of the ground affected the mood, the incomparably strong shield array, and the nimble spear archers repeatedly confronted, the soldiers were a little discouraged.

How were these Zhou people's shield arrays formed?

The onslaught of heavily armored horses and soldiers could not be dispersed.

Many generals were already planning to send Turkic light cavalry up to fight hard.

Mo Si ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The battle against the Warriors was too strange for Mo Si to take any more risks.

There must be a mechanical merit behind this shield array, and there must be a master of the organ in the Great Zhou, and the heavy riders are helpless, and they don't know if they send light riders to meet them, and they are afraid that the losses will be heavier.

This battle started quickly and ended quickly, and both sides had losses, but the tens of thousands of troops could not take down these thousands of Great Zhou soldiers, and it was extremely unfavorable to the army's morale if it was spread out.

Mo Si even wanted to move to Dingzhou and lay down the flamboyant lair, but unfortunately the scout came to report, and Dingzhou's defense did not relax at all.

When the opponent is prepared, a siege is always the next choice.

In this battle, he won the Great Liuzhou, besieged Zhaozhou for a long time, plundered the property, in fact, the harvest was not low, and the population was plundered by the Turks, and the soldiers who could also make up for the losses could also be made.

Many have already retreated.

Mo Si began to talk to Song Yan for the second time.

Song Yan still hoped to exchange news for Turkic submission.

Wu Sansi's mind also understood that he had underestimated Wu Chengsi's son before, and his weight in Emperor Wu's heart should not be low, and Wu Sansi supported King Luling and attacked Wudan with the help of his marriage with the Turks. The prime minister who is so step-by-step, if he is bent on fighting against the Turks, it will be even more difficult to gnaw on the iron bucket of the Great Zhou. Fortunately, the struggle for power within Da Zhou gave him many opportunities.

Mo Si agreed to keep Wu Yanxiu and then marry Wu Dan as much as possible. It is no problem to support Emperor Wu's two sons, but it can be clearly stated which one to support, which one is undoubtedly interfering in the internal affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty and touching the female emperor's rebellion. If Emperor Wu came to attack the Turks at any cost, it would not be easy to sob.

These two conditions are also the purpose of Song Yan's here.

Wudan has been in Beijing for a long time, but in fact, he has formed his own group, and only King Luling is the best puppet.

It's a pity that His Majesty is a little disheartened about him, so Wu Sansi took so much pains, and after making peace with the Turks, he had to have some dealings, and a little blame, although it would not make Wudan worry about his life, but it should be able to let Wudan out.

The two negotiated for a long time and finally reached an agreement.

Mo Si withdrew his troops directly from Zhaozhou, took away a large number of people and food from the six states, and slaughtered the women and children of the two states to pay tribute to the Turkic spirits.

Three days after Mo Si withdrew his troops, Zhang Yang cleared the road and entered Zhaozhou City. Hearing the news of the Turkic massacre, Zhang Yang and Li Quan were furious, these brutes.

For the sake of Liwei, if you do such a thing that is angry and resentful, one day you will have to make them pay for their blood debts.

Although there were two defeats, they were covered by the achievements of the six states in a row, and the large number of prisoners and food brought back, and the Turkic people were very happy.

As for those soldiers who died in battle, their families naturally had tribal care.

Wu Yanxiu watched the Turkic troops come back, carefully inquired about the current situation, and continued to secretly learn and understand Turkic culture.

The Turks are a tribe in which younger brothers and sons can inherit their elder brothers' fathers and concubines, and the old mothers and children of fallen soldiers are Turkic people, and they will also be supported for their contributions to the tribe, so many people are not sad about the death of the war, but proud. If a son or father dies in battle, he can call himself a warrior's relative, which is also an honor. Moreover, if a family has more than one brother, the youngest will generally be left at home, so the social stability is very high.

Wu Yanxiu only knew the results of the battle announced, and did not know the casualties of the Turks, but when the barbarian remembered the Turkic fallen soldiers, he asked again and again to know that it turned out that Da Zhou had another brave general who made the Turks fearful.
