"I don't care, I have to withdraw my people!"
In the Turkic Iron Mountain Camp, Bahan looked at the Moji Company like a bullfight.
You must know what Moji Company and Wu Mian said at that time that the opponent's main attack direction was Iron Mountain Camp, so they hoped that Bahan would send out 60,000 troops, with 30,000 troops each to guard the two highlands outside Iron Mountain Camp.
Bahan thought for a while and agreed.
Because he is in Tieshan Camp, he still has 100,000 troops, and the 40,000 troops around him are enough to ensure his safety. Then, there are 30,000 troops guarding the left and right highlands outside Tieshan Camp, which can echo him from a distance.
It is also a life-saving talisman for me. As long as Datang does not retreat, Moji Company will not dare to attack me in the Iron Mountain Camp.
But who knew it had only been a few days?
His 30,000-strong army is gone again!
Bahan felt more and more something was wrong now. Why had he been losing troops and generals since the war began?
From the beginning of Kang Sumi's rebellion to the time he sent out troops and was ambushed, plus the troops he lost all the way fleeing north, and last night, he had already had twice as many troops as he had at the beginning of the war.
According to the soldiers from the highland camp who escaped yesterday, none of them knew how the other party lit the horse pen, how they released the horses, and they didn't even know how the other party opened the camp gate.
The unknown is often what scares the most. Because he doesn't know Tang Jun's methods, he is really afraid.
If the Tang army followed suit and took over another highland camp today, then not only would they lose their own troops, but they would only have the 40,000 troops around them. In the Iron Mountain camp with the 100,000 troops of the Silent Thorn Company, they would not be able to Are you at his mercy?
So now Bukhan must withdraw his people no matter what. If you, Moji Company, think it is important, send your people to guard that highland camp.
Mo Jianlian looked at Wu Mian, who shook his head and said, "Just withdraw!"
Even though he was extremely resourceful, he would never have imagined that there was such a thing as a drone, which could directly send divine soldiers from the sky to the innermost part of the military camp.
So even he didn't dare to take the risk of letting Moji Company send a large army to guard that high ground. It was just a defense anyway. He didn't believe that this large camp of more than 100,000 people could not hold it down under an iron mountain camp.
and
, he still has a real backhand that he hasn’t taken action yet.
"General, I just came to report that the Turkic Highland camp seems to be withdrawing?"
Li Jing called Tang Ping and took a look with a drone from a distance. He found that the other party had indeed begun to retreat.
"Fight or not?" Li Ji glanced at Li Jing and asked with sparks in his eyes.
Along the way, he basically didn't get any credit.
"We can't fight. Look!" Li Jing pointed at the retreating Turkic army: "They were not defeated, but retreated in an orderly manner. Look at the cavalry they have deployed here, here, and here. As long as we charge up, they will charge Come out and fight.”
The Tang Dynasty and the Turks now have equal military strength, but Li Jing and the others not only want to capture the Turks, but also reduce their own troop losses as much as possible.
If we fight the Turks here and exhaust all their own armies, we can only let neighboring countries such as Tubo, Tuyuhun, Western Man, Dongyue and Beiyan reap the benefits.
Therefore, during the several attacks on Tieshan Camp, Li Jing used the tactics of probing and luring the enemy out, hoping to draw out the enemy, forming a local attack with more and less, and then gradually cannibalize the opponent.
Li Jing felt that there was not enough time for a head-on confrontation like today, where everyone was ready to fight.
So in the end, he could only watch the opponent retreat, and then Li Jing sent the Jinhedao and Tongmodao armies to occupy the high ground on both sides, forming an encirclement of the Tieshan camp.
In the next few days, no matter how Li Jing sent people to provoke him, the other party was determined to be a coward and would not move even if he said nothing.
Because all the Turkic armies were blocked in the nest of Iron Mountain, the containment effect of the other three armies disappeared, and half a month later they all arrived in front of Iron Mountain.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty's military strength reached an unprecedented number of more than 300,000, which was already more than twice the strength of Tieshan Camp.
Li Jing also used local materials during this half month to quickly make a lot of siege equipment.
The Sixth Route Army began to attack Tieshan Camp in turn.
However, the Turkic army's ability to defend the city exceeded Li Jing and others' surprise, and they actually defended the city watertight.
Tang Ping and the others also tried to fall in a few times at night, but the opponent's defense was too tight.
Once, both Tiebazi and Leizi were almost left behind, but Xiang Long used Mo Mo, who had a small number of digits.
Tolov's incendiary bomb saved the man.
As for the place closest to Tieshan Camp that Tang Ping could reach, there was no important strategic point within three kilometers of releasing the drone. Even if he could bring melon seeds in again, it would not have much effect.
The war situation once again reached a stalemate.
"Grandma!" Cheng Zhijie cursed angrily: "When did these Turks become tortoises?"
He was the one who attacked the city yesterday. The Tang army once rushed to the camp, but there were too many Turks inside, and they were finally pushed back.
There is only the last month left for the three-month battle that was originally scheduled.
Now everyone knows that when the Six Route Army attacked the Turks, Bukhan did not receive the message, but the Moji Company definitely received the message.
So from the beginning, he reduced all his troops and retreated to this iron mountain.
By the time Li Jing rushed Bahan to Tieshan Camp, he had already spent that month making Tieshan Camp impregnable.
"If I know who leaked the secret, I will definitely chop him alive!" Yuchi Jingde said. His subordinates have suffered the most casualties in the siege in the past few days, so his anger cannot be suppressed.
"I have already sent the news back. I think they will start a thorough investigation when we come to Chang'an. But now our first priority is to capture the Iron Mountain Camp."
"How to get it?" Cheng Zhijie clapped his hands: "Although those grandchildren have no water or food, they will definitely be able to hold on for another month."
"It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Wei's artillery carriage has not been built yet. Otherwise, if it were used to blast his grandma, the city wall of their Iron Mountain Camp would be broken in two blows." Yuchi Jingde could only complain along with him.
In the past few days, these people have used up all their methods to attack the city, but it is still difficult to make any progress.
Although Tang Ping had some black technology, in such a head-to-head confrontation with hundreds of thousands of troops, the effect he could play was quite limited.
At this moment, a soldier ran out of breath and rolled and crawled in front of Li Jing: "General... General... General, eight hundred miles to hurry up."
Li Jing's expression turned aside. All six armies were gathered here. Where could they come from 800 miles away to rush?
Then I saw the soldier holding a bloody secret report in his hands.
