Yumenguan in the northwest.
After the sneak attack, only one of the eight hundred Tang soldiers led by Li Chongyi remained.
In a team of less than a hundred people, everyone was still injured.
Even for Li Chongyi himself, blood was faintly flowing out of the gaps in his armor.
This battle was simply a nightmare for these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Although these people are considered warriors who have fought a hundred battles, they have never experienced such a tragic war in their lives.
At the beginning, with the help of sneak attacks and the clay jar named 'Sky Fire Thunder', they could still gain some advantages.
But when they broke through later, they fought out of the enemy's encirclement entirely with the belief that they wanted to survive.
I saw that the pursuers were about to arrive.
Li Chongyi glanced back, then gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, keep on holding on, don't fall behind."
At times like this, falling behind is a sure thing.
Enough of his men have died tonight.
He really didn't want any more brothers to fall in front of him.
the other side.
Because the area around Hecang City is all plains.
Even if they are dozens of miles away, they can still see the light rising into the sky.
Seeing this scene, the Western Turkic soldiers who were on patrol at night were a little confused.
That's where they store food. Why was there such a big fire at this time?
When the Western Turkic soldiers patrolling outside told the news to the Western Turkic general Humiruo.
He was so shocked that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he hurried out to check the situation.
When he also saw the fire to the west, his heart suddenly became cold.
The scene before us could not be more obvious. The grain and grass camp at Yumen Pass must have been attacked.
Humiluo didn't have time to think too much, he immediately grabbed a passing soldier and said: "Go and notify Humigu and ask him to lead ten thousand light cavalry to Yumen Pass to check the situation."
"It's the general..."
With that said, the pawn strode down to call someone.
Hu Mi Luo was a barbarian, although he had been taught by Zhao Youlin.
But some things cannot be learned by just a few words of instruction.
For example now.
If Li Ji was the commander-in-chief of the Western Turks, he would never choose to return reinforcements at this time.
Because once reinforcements are returned, the entire army will inevitably know that the food and grass have been destroyed.
This is tantamount to the Lord destroying the morale of the soldiers.
If Li Ji was the commander-in-chief of the Western Turks, he would have only one choice.
Or directly send troops to attack the city, occupy the enemy's grain depot, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Either set up defenses and then retreat with the entire army. This way, although some troops and horses and the advantages gained in the early stage will be sacrificed, it will not lead to defeat.
However, Hu Mi Luo is not Li Ji.
He was even Li Ji's enemy.
At this moment, chaos arose in the Western Turkic camp.
Whether it was Li Jing who was besieged in Hecang City, or Li Ji who was in charge of the central army.
They all knew that the war was about to begin.
Wait until the soldiers who went to put out the fire have run away.
Li Ji directly climbed up to the commander's platform and shouted: "Gather the whole army and prepare to attack!"
At the same time, Li Jing in Hecang City also issued an order to the soldiers under his tent to prepare to open the city gate and launch a counterattack against the Western Turks.
Immediately afterwards, the gates of Datang's camp and the gates of Hecang City opened almost at the same time.
One hundred and twenty thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty went out in full force to kill the Turkic camp to the west.
A Western Turkic soldier knelt on one knee and intervened, saying to Protector Milo: "Report! The enemy troops are out in full force and are coming straight to my camp."
After hearing this, Humiluo also felt a little dizzy.
But he is the commander-in-chief after all.
Anyone can panic at this time, but he alone cannot.
After adjusting his mood, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Inform Yelu Zhong and go to the front camp immediately and tell him that we must resist the enemy's attack no matter what."
"yes."
The ordering soldier stepped in to take the order, and then rushed down to deliver the order.
At this point, the Western Turks began to organize themselves and went to the camp to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the shouts of killing were loud outside the village wall.
The Western Turkic soldiers guarding the wall had long since discovered a fire burning in the direction of Yumen Pass, and their morale was in chaos.
Even when faced with the attack of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they forgot to fight back.
It was not until our own captain personally climbed onto the wall that the situation was finally stabilized.
Afterwards, the soldiers on the wall began to assemble in formation and fight back against the enemy with their bows.
But it’s too late to organize it now.
Large numbers of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty quickly set up ladders on the wall, and the soldiers behind also hurriedly climbed up the ladders to the wall.
At this time, the entire eastern wall that the Western Turks had promised was completely out of control.
There were Western Turkic soldiers and Tang Dynasty soldiers fighting in close quarters everywhere, and some of the fighting even extended into the camp.
The roars, wails, and screams of the soldiers on both sides almost merged into one.
Boom!
At this time, there was a loud noise suddenly.
I saw that the entire wall on the south side had been knocked down by the swarming soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
A large number of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty rushed in along the cracks, waving their weapons.
These soldiers of the Tang Dynasty looked like wild beasts with red eyes.
After coming in, they don't care who the other party is or what they do. They only recognize the armor and not the person. As long as they see different armors, they will cut them down, and if they see different armors, they will kill them.
At this time, Datang had already broken through two walls.
Even the village gate was occupied by the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jing, on the other hand, was riding a tall horse and stood at the east gate of the Western Turk camp.
Li Jing was more than just a commander-in-chief.
In terms of this guy's ability, he can definitely be a pioneer.
Seeing that the time had come, Li Jing no longer hesitated, clamped his feet on the horse's belly, and raised the long knife in his hand: "Kill!"
He took the lead and led the cavalry at the forefront of the camp.
As he slowed down his horse, two horsemen suddenly rushed out from behind him.
The two cavalrymen each held a sky fire thunder.
When they were about to rush to the enemy camp, the two used torches to light the broken steps on the sky fire thunder.
Immediately, the two of them threw the Skyfire Thunder in their hands without hesitation.
I can hear the roar in my ears! Boom! Two loud bangs.
And the wooden village gate fell apart in an instant.
Li Jing did not hesitate and led his troops in to fight.
At this moment, he seemed to have found the feeling of youth.
Walking left and right among the people of Western Turks is like entering an uninhabited land...
…
Let’s talk about Li Chongyi.
He originally retreated with the remaining soldiers, but at this moment he heard shouts of killing coming from the direction of Hecang City.
When he climbed the hillside, he immediately saw the sky-high flames and the chaotic fighting scene.
Seeing this, Li Chongyi couldn't help laughing three times: "It seems that our two commanders have already taken action."
He turned back to look at the Tang soldiers behind him and said, "Brothers, should we go over and kill again, or should we rest where we are?"
The death and near-death struggle of a comrade can easily create a depressing feeling.
It felt like a fire was being held in my chest, wanting to be released, wanting to kill.
Therefore, after he said this, no one said no. They only clenched the weapons in their hands and said in unison: "General, please give the order."
"good!"
Li Chongyi raised his head and said: "Rest where you are for a quarter of an hour. In half an hour, we will kill..."
