When the Jie tribe's army crossed the mouth of the Juyang River, Shi Le sent Tuge Dami, the leader of the Tuge tribe, to lead 20,000 soldiers towards the Daijun Canyon in an attempt to seize Zijingguan, and then form a front and rear pincer attack on Xiguan.
Tugodami led the 20,000 troops of his tribe around the Hubo area in the valley and came to the direction of Daijun Canyon. Hou Tai, who was waiting here, had already discovered the movements of the Jie tribe's army. After two days of preparation, a large number of rolling wooden rocks were placed on the tops of the mountains on both sides of the canyon.
When we originally entered the Daijun Mountain Pass, the terrain was relatively open, allowing many horses to advance side by side. However, the further we went in, the narrower it became. Tugoda looked at the steep cliffs on both sides with disdain, feeling something indescribable in his heart. As a tribal leader on the grassland, he was used to the feeling of endlessness and was disgusted with this small and confined space.
Of course, it brings not only disgust, but also a kind of worry as a commander.
Out of a bad premonition, he ordered the vanguard to stop advancing, and then gave instructions to his followers.
"Go, take a few people to explore the road ahead to avoid being ambushed." Tugodami ordered.
Qin then took the lead with a few Jie cavalry towards the valley. Because there were many rocks rolling down the mountains in the valley, the horses did not dare to run too fast. Since the canyon is relatively long, the Jie soldiers who are exploring the path will go forward for a period of time, and after the exploration is correct, they will send someone back to deliver a message.
Every time a message was sent, Tugoda Mi led his army to march part of the way. After two or three inspections and no abnormality was found, Tugodami ordered the entire army to speed up and march quickly. After they marched for half a day, the Jie soldiers who were exploring the road ahead came back again.
This time, the Jie soldiers no longer looked relaxed, but looked a little solemn.
"Report to the chief, Daxia's camp was found one mile ahead, blocking the way to the valley?" the soldier said hurriedly when he came to Tugedami.
Tugoda Mi was a little surprised and said: "The camp?"
"Yes, chief. The camp is right in the middle of the canyon, blocking the way."
"How is the defense of the camp?"
"There are hundreds of archers on top of the stronghold wall. It's impossible to tell from inside?"
"Can any abnormalities be found on both sides of the valley?"
"Back to the big leader, there are cliffs on both sides of the valley. There is no way to ambush troops on the cliffs, and there is no way to explore on the top of the mountain." The soldier replied again.
A young man walked out from behind Tugedami and said, "Father, I think that is the front sentry camp set up by the Daxia people. Without further ado, let me lead the army to destroy this camp, right?"
Tuguda looked at the young man who was about to make a move, and said with some worry: "I'm afraid these cunning Daxia people may have an ambush."
"Father, we have been entering the canyon for a while. If there was an ambush, it should have happened long ago," Turgodamim's son explained.
"Well, what you said makes sense. In this way, you can lead a thousand people in the front and quickly open the passage." Tugoda Mi, who no longer hesitated, led the way.
"yes"
After receiving the order, Shi Ke rode his horse to the front of the team, followed closely by a thousand Jie cavalry, marching quickly towards Hou Tai's camp.
On the top of the mountain, the ambushed soldiers carefully poked their heads out and looked at the troops marching below. There were only 20,000 troops, almost filling the entire canyon. Some of them must not be able to enter the encirclement.
The Jie soldiers came to the front of Hou Tai's camp. Several fast horses quickly ran towards the camp. The Jie soldiers on the horses swung the flying hooks in their hands. However, before they could get closer, dozens of Daxia soldiers rushed towards them. Shooting arrows wildly, several Jie cavalrymen were quickly hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and then several more people shook Changgou and started again.
However, this time it was not just a few Jie cavalry who rushed up, but also a thousand Jie people who dismounted and acted as siege soldiers. Hou Tai looked at the Jie people rushing towards him and waved his hand. The archers who had been waiting in the camp raised their bows and arrows in the air.
As the arrows were fired, the sound of gongs sounded in the canyon. Due to the topography of the long canyon, the sound collection effect was excellent and spread over a very long distance. When the soldiers on the top of the mountain heard the sound of the gongs, they also The gong was sounded immediately, and three ambush points responded one after another.
The soldiers removed the branches and leaves that covered the rolling stone and cut off the wooden ropes. Countless logs and stones rolled down from the top of the canyon, and ignited branches were also thrown from the top of the mountain into the valley. The 10,000 leading troops of the Jie people were divided into several sections, and rolling wood and thunder stones continued to fall from above.
The moment he heard the sound of the gong, Tugoda Mi knew that something was wrong. He wanted to order the army to retreat immediately, but there was no way to retreat quickly in the narrow valley.
When stones all over the sky fell, a large number of Jie tribe soldiers were killed. The frightened horses gradually lost control. For a moment, the canyon became chaotic. Because it was divided into several sections, the out-of-control horses ran back and forth. Colliding with each other, the Jie soldiers fell off their horses one after another and were trampled to death.
The Jie soldiers who had not entered the ambush circle at the back saw the situation in front and immediately stopped advancing. Under the order of a leader under Tugedamie's tent, the soldiers in the rear began to turn their horses and retreat towards the road, but before they could completely After adjusting their formation, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the canyon.
The horses that escaped from the ambush circle quickly rushed towards the slow-moving follow-up troops and hit the rear end of the troops. However, due to the narrow terrain, there were not many horses that rushed out, and it did not cause large-scale chaos. Except for the last few soldiers who were hit by Outside of the impact, the entire large force was not affected.
The Qianjie soldiers who stormed the camp were hindered by bows and arrows, and their attack became sluggish. Tu Geshi looked behind him at the stream of people who were trying to avoid the rolling wood and thunder stones. He wanted to turn around and save his father, but there was no way. passage through.
He gritted his teeth and shouted in the Jie language: "Damn Daxia people, warriors, follow me from the front and charge out!"
He slapped the horse's back hard and rushed towards Hou Tai's camp, followed closely by countless Jie soldiers.
Hou Tai looked at the charging Jie soldiers and couldn't help but frown. If this kind of offensive was used, the camp would not be able to support it for long. But fortunately, the enemy's position was already in chaos. As long as the first wave of this impact was blocked, subsequent attacks would be less likely. Difficult.
He took a deep breath, pulled out his sword, and ordered: "Lancers, prepare!"
Under the stronghold wall, a row of spearmen aimed their guns at the holes in the stronghold wall. These holes were specially prepared for use when the enemy broke through the stronghold. Their spears would pierce the enemies outside through the holes again and again.
Although the nomads are not good at siege warfare, this kind of camp is not a tall city wall. You can climb it with bare hands. And as more and more people die in the battle below the camp, the corpses will pile up higher and higher. It is easier for the corpses of companions to climb up the wall.
As the battle continued, it was difficult for the spearmen to find a breakthrough, and the soldiers on the wall continued to fall and were replaced by other soldiers.
Su Shifang, one of the ten generals under General Zhenguan, followed Hou Tai to garrison in Daijun Canyon. Seeing the enemy's offensive becoming more and more fierce, Su Shifang shouted: "Fire oil tank!"
Afterwards, dozens of fire oil cans were lit one after another, and the soldiers threw them hard at the Jie people who were attacking the city outside the house. A fire oil can hit the head of a Jie soldier, and the flames instantly enveloped his whole body, and the scattered fire The oil splashed on the people around them and ignited other people's clothes. Most of the Jie people wore fur products, which ignited when exposed to fire.
The Jie tribe soldiers who were on fire ran around, and the painful burning made them crazy. They rushed to their companions and begged for their help, but no one paid attention to them. Those they encountered fled away, and those they caught People, they cling to their companions tightly, and even set fire to their companions' clothes.
They will not show mercy when facing their irrational companions, and will chop down their companions mercilessly with their scimitars. More fire oil cans were thrown out of the camp, and a small sea of fire formed in front of the camp. Many Jie people looked at their companions who were covered in fire and wailing in pain, and did not dare to get closer. The Jie people's offensive gradually weakened.
The rolling wooden rocks on the top of the mountain gradually became less and less. Those Jie tribe soldiers who survived thought they had escaped. However, a moment later, arrows all over the sky fell from the sky. The shooting from above turned into a massacre. In the valley, The piles of corpses made the mountain road more difficult to navigate, and there were screams and wailing in the valley.
More than a dozen Jie soldiers were desperately guarding Tugoda Mi, escorting him back towards the road he came from.
"General, the Jie people have lost their fighting spirit. How about I lead people to rush out and kill them?" Su Shifang asked, looking at the Jie people who were in a dilemma.
"Kill out?" Hou Tai asked hesitantly?
"There are only more than a thousand people killed and injured in front of this village. There must be a large number of injured people in the valley. If left unchecked, a large number of them are likely to flee back. It is better to pursue them directly." Su Shifang said.
"Okay, will two thousand people be enough for you?" Hou Tai asked.
"That's enough. There are too many people, and there's no place to spread this fart."
"There are not many arrows left. There are only one or two more rounds. Once the arrows stop, you can take them with you."
"As you command!"
After a subsequent salvo, Su Shifang did not wait for the second round and directly ordered: "Brothers, get out!"
Two thousand soldiers shouted and jumped out of the village wall, stepping on the corpses left by the Jie tribe. The already panicked Jie tribe soldiers could no longer control themselves and ran away in the direction they came from, even if there were arrows falling in front of them. They also have to escape.
This was the first time they felt fear. They never thought that one day these Han people in Daxia would become so brave. The soldiers on the top of the mountain were excited when they saw their soldiers rushing out of the camp. They had never fought such a happy battle. They stood on the top of the mountain and kept shouting.
Su Shifang chased him all the way along the canyon. The slow-running Jie tribe members were cut down one after another, and the energetic wounded Jie tribe soldiers were chopped to death one by one. Until the edge of the corpse, no corpse of the Jie tribe could be seen anymore. He panted heavily and looked at the direction where the blood on the ground extended. He knew that there were still wounded soldiers in the canyon, but he could no longer pursue them.
"Two of you, go to the front and investigate," Su Shifang pointed to the front and said.
"It's the general."
The two soldiers carried knives and headed toward the outskirts of the canyon.
"Collect the arrows, pull out all the usable arrows and take them back. See if there is any activity. Kill them all. These wolf cubs will also have this day. Hahaha, it's so happy! It's so happy."
