The sky is pale white, floating in the thick fog in Putao City. Occasionally, you can see blood pillars soaring, and blood droplets like raindrops splashing up and falling again.
In the east of the city, which is only more than a hundred steps away from the battlefield, two rows of fences stretch for miles like a long dragon. It can be seen that this simple fortification has not yet been repaired, and in the passage that is more than fifty steps wide, there is a The watchtower was just built yesterday.
For a qualified commander, the more preparations before war, the better, and Murong Shijie was no exception. When he decided to use Putao City as bait, he knew that Putao City had weak defenses and would not be able to defend it for long. In order to reduce his own casualties, he urgently built fences and arrow towers in the city, trying to use these fortifications, layer after layer. Although the two fences and arrow towers were not yet completed, they ultimately played a huge role in this bloody battle.
He looked from the watchtower to the battlefield and could clearly see the bloody battle between his own army and the rebels who had broken into the city in front of and behind the fence. The soldiers on both sides were like two tides slamming together, and the bloodiest battle began. In the blink of an eye, A "hill" of corpses piled up at the collision point. However, subsequent soldiers continued to participate. Soldiers from both sides waved their spears and knives risklessly, killing the enemy with heads rolling and blood flowing in rivers. , also caused the corpse mountain to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Tuyuhun lost the initiative after all. They were defeated by the Fire Ox Formation, which was their biggest rely on, and killed too many soldiers. The "thief army" who followed the Fire Ox into the city killed all the front troops who were in chaos, so in terms of military strength, , Tuyuhun now seems to be unable to follow up. Fortunately, they still have an urgently built fence to block the enemy, and the arrow tower behind the fence also has the effect of killing the enemy. The soldiers above are pouring arrows at the "thief army" to their heart's content. The dense arrows shot through the shields and leather armors of the "thieves" like a gust of wind and rain. Pieces of "thieves" rolled to the ground and were trampled into flesh by the densely attacking robes.
The heavy casualties caused by the fences and arrow towers in the city to the "thief army" dampened the momentum of the "thief army", their evil spirit quickly subsided, and their positions became chaotic.
Mai Tiezhang stood on the city wall on horseback and watched the battle from a high position. Facing the tragic casualties of his own soldiers, his face was expressionless, but his falcon-like eyes looked very cold and terrifying.
This lasted for about two moments. Wang Jun, Wang Bian's son, couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, our soldiers can't break through the fence and take down the arrow tower. What should we do?"
"Hmph, General Tuyuhun thought that just a fence and an arrow tower were trying to stop our army. It's so ridiculous!" Mai Tiezhi pointed straight ahead with his waved hand and said in a cold voice: "Their total strength is only five thousand people. Now the dead, wounded, and the rest have all been thrown into the battlefield. At this time, there are no more reinforcements to save them. Since these people who are not afraid of death are standing in front of us, we can use the advantage of our troops to outflank them from the left and right, and attack them from both sides. They were completely annihilated here.”
Both sides of the war were engaged in a bitter battle, but Mai Tiezhang was deployed in full force this time. His troops were more than 8,000 more than the Tuyuhun defenders. However, because Pu Tao City was very narrow, the advantage in military strength could not be exerted at all within the city. The effect is that if the tactics of adding fuel to the attack are adopted and followed Tuyuhun's rhythm, even if all the defenders are annihilated, the result will be a tragic victory. This is really not what Mai Tiezhang wants.
As far as the current battle situation is concerned, Tuyuhun's army is an upright army in the final analysis. The combat effectiveness, lethality, and fighting will displayed by the whole army are far stronger than those of the "thief army". The tactics and tactics they adopt are very organized, and the " Although the personal combat effectiveness of the "thief army" is strong, in this kind of bloody battle, the role of personal ability is really very small.
It's just that the battle has reached this point. Mai Tiezhang still has eight thousand soldiers who have not entered the battlefield, but Tuyuhun has already committed all his troops. Although Tuyuhun had the upper hand in the first round of bloody battles, the gap in military strength did not allow Tuyuhun to gain a temporary advantage.
Following Mai Tiezhang's order, Mai Zhongcai and Qian Jie each led four thousand cavalry around the frontal battlefield and outflanked them from both the north and the south. The Tuyuhun soldiers were suddenly plunged into an extremely dangerous situation.
Two "bandit armies" bypassed the city wall and fired arrows at the left and right wings of Tuyuhun from the north and south. A dense rain of arrows rose into the sky, forming a long black arrow cloud in the sky, which instantly turned into black spots, overwhelming the sky. Tuyuhun soldiers shot at him.
The archers on both sides took turns shooting with three-stage shooting. After the first row finished shooting, they stepped back and loaded their arrows. The archers in the second row had already fired their crossbows. The archers in the third row raised their bows at an angle of 45 degrees. Upward, when the arrows in the third row are fired, the first row has finished loading arrows, and so on, shooting in turn.
Tuyuhun soldiers raised their shields to greet them, but all the tents in the city had been demolished. Except for the two fences and arrow towers, there were no more bunkers. Ordinary shields and leather armor could not withstand the rounds of arrow rain. , not to mention that the "thief army" in front of them bites the Tuyuhun soldiers, and the disadvantage in military strength is obvious. In particular, the arrows thrown from the air carried their own gravity during the descent, turning the wooden shields of the Tuyuhun soldiers into decorations.
The powerful and heavy arrows pierced shields and penetrated leather armor. The Tuyuhun soldiers fell one by one like crops destroyed by the storm, and screams and wails resounded throughout the city.
With the suppression from the north and the south, the suppression of the "thief army" in the city suddenly decreased. Some soldiers untied the rope from their waists, threw it upward, and the hook caught the wall of the village. Then they tightened the rope and struggled to remove the pieces piece by piece. The fence fell to the ground, and the morale of the attacking "thieves" was greatly boosted. Han Liu, who was holding the line, waved his sword and shouted, ordering the second batch of sergeants to rush in through the gap. At the same time, dozens of "thieves" rushed into it, He slashed hard with his sword, tearing open a series of openings without taking advantage of the numbers, and then more people filed in through this opening!
There are fewer and fewer Tuyuhun soldiers in front, and more and more "thieves" are rushing into the camp.
The situation seemed to be settled, but the Korean Wave was hesitant. At this time, a soldier came to report: "Second leader, there is a stronghold in front of us. Many Tuyuhun soldiers retreated inside to continue fighting with us!"
Hallyu suddenly changed his color, "Is there still a camp?"
He fought to the front, and sure enough he saw Tuyuhun soldiers fighting against a fence again. Han Liu immediately understood that the slope, city wall, and first fence were just the three lines of defense set up by Tuyuhun. Now there was a fourth line. Does that mean? And the fifth, sixth and seventh paths? If they fail to capture the enemy's defenses one after another, the enemy general will always be prepared to take them back.
The thought of retreat flashed through Han Liu's mind, but he immediately came to his senses. If he retreated at this time, all his previous efforts would be in vain, so he waved the Mo Dao and faced him.
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle within a small area. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The momentum of the "thief army" who had just captured the first fence seemed to have been abruptly interrupted, and their morale was also reduced. It is no longer as strong as before. The reason why no one retreated was because the soldiers from behind came like a tide, making them unable to retreat.
Han Liu cut off several thrusting spears and rushed forward. Mo Dao swept across thousands of troops and chopped the fence in front of him to pieces. When the enemy in front could not react, he entered it. Waving Mo Dao, they galloped through the enemy group, just like fierce tigers charging into the flock of sheep. Tuyuhun soldiers died when they were touched or touched. There were many corpses lying around them, and blood flowed into rivers.
The passion for male competition boiled in his chest, and Han Liu shouted, "Brothers, follow me to kill Chief Hu and make meritorious service!"
He wielded the Mo Dao and led his soldiers to rush left and right, creating opportunities for the soldiers behind to drag down the fence. At this time, Mai Zhongcai and Qian Jie also entered the city from the north and south.
At this time, the Tuyuhun soldiers were like frightened birds under the encirclement of three parties. They threw away their helmets and armor and began to flee to the rear. The Korean swords flew and they led their companions to kill a bloody path. The heads of the Tuyuhun soldiers were rolling and corpses were scattered all over the field.
"What a great general!" Murong Shijie watched from a distance from the watchtower behind, taking in the entire scene.
In his plan, these 5,000 direct line elites were used to drag all the "thieves" into the battlefield, creating an opportunity for the other 20,000 ambush troops to win. Judging from the previous battle situation, Tuyuhun soldiers did not need half of them. In an hour, the first fence can be recaptured. However, this tiger general actually broke through their last line of defense by himself, which surprised him, so he pointed in that direction and asked cautiously: "Do you know who this person is?"
The generals on the left and right looked at each other, and one of the generals raised his hands and said, "General Qi, we don't know this person either."
Murong Shijie had a look of regret in his eyes, shook his head and said: "There are such tiger generals among the bandit army. We really underestimate them. In time, this person will definitely become a thorn in our side."
Murong Shijie stood up and walked down the sentry tower. As he walked, he ordered indifferently: "I will go to the rear to command the ambush and annihilate this bandit army, and completely solve this huge internal problem for Shanshan and Tuyuhun. You all mobilize your soldiers. In the past, we must do everything possible to kill this person, even if the entire army is annihilated, we must kill him."
"As you command!"
. . . . . . .
Behind the "thief army", the latest battle situation on the front line has also reached Mai Tiezhang's ears. After listening to the soldiers' report, he squinted his eyes and looked forward for a while, and then said after a long while: "It seems that we can persist in the city so far." The Tuyuhun soldiers are Murong Shijie's most elite soldiers, and they have been fully prepared to fight this battle. It seems that we can only rely on human lives to take Putao City, but why should I take it? What about this small town?”
Mai Tiezhang smiled coldly and asked the soldier who came to report: "By the way, how is the situation over there with the second leader?"
"We are chasing the defeated soldiers of Tuyuhun, and the enemy will soon be unable to withstand it." The soldier said excitedly.
"Everyone fought very well today! While the Tuyuhun soldiers were defeated, we will call it a day and call it a day." Mai Tiezhang chuckled and ordered: "Send the order and have the entire army withdraw."
"Big Chief, what did you say? You said withdraw, withdraw, withdraw the troops and come back?" Several leaders who were watching the battle were dumbfounded. One or two of them looked incredulously: "Big Chief, this is the city we finally won. , just return it to Tuyuhun like this?"
Mai Tiezhang smiled lightly: "We are a group of horse thieves who work hard for money. Our advantage is that we can come and go like the wind. If we occupy the city, Tuyuhun Tiezhang will dispatch a large army to encircle and suppress us. How long can we hold on? Send the order and withdraw the troops. Bar!"
