Taihe Pass is one of the important towns on the nine sides and is an important pass for Daxing to resist Beidi;
The terrain here is flat and there are no natural dangers to defend, making it extremely suitable as a cavalry battlefield. Because of this, the city wall defense of Taihe Pass has been continuously strengthened since the founding of the People's Republic of China by Emperor Taizu. Today, Taihe Pass has become taller and more majestic after hundreds of years of renovations.
However, in the majestic border city that had been repaired for a hundred years, most of the city wall finally collapsed in five days under the Beidi army's offensive at all costs. Outside the city wall, there were broken limbs everywhere, broken weapons were scattered on the ground, and corpses piled up like mountains. Blood flowed across every inch of the battlefield. At this time, Taiheguan was like a hell on earth.
Outside Taihe Pass at this time
The sound of war drums and shouts shook the sky, and the figures of the soldiers were looming in the smoke. Both sides were red-eyed, and there was no emotion in their eyes. The collision of weapons of the two armies and the neighing of the horses were intertwined to form a A shocking force.
Countless people fell on the battlefield every moment, and the air was filled with the smell of death.
Battle after battle caused huge casualties to both armies.
On one side was the Beidi army, which had never taken the southerners seriously, and went south to plunder in order to survive the cold winter;
On one side are Daxing generals who fight to protect their homeland and family.
And this strong will to resist made the Beidi army, who had already had to go south due to food shortages, even more anxious, and it also made them even more bloodthirsty and violent.
"Dang~! Dang~! Dang~!"
Just when the battle between the two sides was getting tense, Ming Jin's military order to retreat came from the armies of both sides, and the sergeants quickly returned.
In the commander's tent, Niu Jizong, the great general of Zhenxi, is sitting in command, followed by Yongning Marquis Yang Jie, Tai'an Marquis Zeng Guangliang, Beijing Camp Jiedushi Wang Ziteng, and Shenwei General Feng Tang, who led 30,000 troops to support the day before yesterday, etc. are sitting there. Under it.
"Everyone, the Beidi army is completely desperate to fight. Our army has suffered heavy casualties. Tens of thousands of men have been killed and 60,000 injured. How should we fight next?" Niu Jizong looked at the generals with a pair of tiger eyes. Almost everyone was injured, and his words were filled with helplessness.
The war has lasted only half a month, and almost all the methods that can be thought of have been used, which also caused the Di Army to suffer heavy losses. Later, the general of the Di Army also learned to be smart. He completely ignored Daxing's plan and attacked with all his strength. Taihe closed the city gate, forcing the Daxing army to confront them head-on.
However, in order to break through the Taiheguan gate, the Beidi army abandoned their war horses, blindfolded the war horses, and drove the war horses to hit the city wall. This brought huge trouble to the Daxing army. Finally, four days ago, Beidi sacrificed 60,000 war horses and 20,000 Beidi soldiers died. The city wall collapsed at the cost.
Beidi also almost invaded the city several times while stepping on the corpses of dead horses.
"General! Now the battlefield is full of corpses. It is no longer suitable for cavalry to gallop. The general thinks that fire attacks can be used." A pale-faced general with a scar on his body stood up and said.
"Chen Hua! How to attack with fire!" Niu Jizong looked at the general and asked.
"General, now there is no one else in Taihe Pass except our 260,000 troops. The general is willing to use himself as bait with his seriously injured brothers to lure the Di army into the city. After the Beidi army, which has lost its cavalry advantage, enters the city, As long as the general leads his army to block the south gate and burn the city, the entire Di army will be wiped out." General Chen Hua said with a murderous look on his face, never thinking that he would die.
"Whoosh!" Hearing Chen Hua's plan, everyone present was shocked. They were shocked that Chen Hua was desperate, shocked by Chen Hua's ruthlessness, and even more shocked by Chen Hua's audacity.
If this strategy succeeds, Beidi's remaining 200,000 troops may really be gone. But from ancient times to the present, few people have massacred so many people at once.
The layout of Taihe Pass is different from other city gates. The entire Taihe Pass is like a city with two gates, front and rear. People can live inside. People lived here a long time ago. Later, Beidi often went south, and the city became a military camp. In order to prevent Beidi over the years, coupled with the cold here, there are a lot of rolling logs, branches, dead grass, and old houses in the city. It can be said that if the city is burned down, it is destined to become a sea of fire, and the people in the city are destined to not survive.
"Chen Hua, do you still have family?" After thinking for a moment, Niu Jizong looked at Chen Hua and asked, then waved his hand to stop the generals who wanted to speak. Obviously Niu Jizong agreed to this plan.
"Thank you General for your kindness, but no need. There is no one in General Mo's family anymore. My parents and family were all killed by Di Jun a few years ago." Listening to Niu Jizong's question, Chen Hua had tears in his eyes and his expression Sad.
Listening to Chen Hua's answer, Niu Jizong sighed and waved his hand: "Let's get ready!"
"yes!"
As the generals left, Niu Jizong also walked out of the commander's tent, feeling very heavy in his heart.
an hour later
"Woo! Woo! Woo!" A high-pitched horn sounded throughout Taihe Pass.
"What's going on?" Niu Jizong, who was making combat arrangements with the generals, asked.
"General, the Di army has retreated." A soldier ran into the commander's tent with an excited look and bowed back.
"What!"
Not long after, everyone appeared on the city wall and looked at Di Jun who was retreating in panic.
We are ready to fight to the death. Are you running away?
