Dajin royal family

Chapter 141 Bloody Battle (1318)

Seeing the people he sent out were shot to death by arrows, Zhi Siguli knew that his plan had failed.He had no choice but to order the team to withdraw to Shanyang County and wait for the Yichaxie army to make plans. In the current situation, he alone had no way to break through Lou Fan Pass.

Jiang Chengxiao leaned against the top of the city, listening carefully to the movement outside, and after waiting for three full hours, there was no movement, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.Sitting on the ground as if his body was falling apart, Zhao Jiao asked him to go down to rest, but he refused.Because he promised the soldiers that if the Turks did not retreat, he would not come down from the top of the city.

Therefore, Zhao Jiao also leaned beside him, "Jiang Huqi, you were so brave just now, I thought you wouldn't stay in such a dangerous place."

The arrows shot just now, although their losses were not large, it was also very dangerous, especially on the top of the city.This Jiang Hussar did not take half a step back, and stood on the top of the wall to direct the whole process, which really impressed him.This person is not only good at arranging troops, but also doing what he says, staying calm in times of danger, and putting life and death aside.

Jiang Chengxiao didn't think as much as Zhao Jiao did. He only knew that as a general, if he couldn't be on the front line, the morale of the soldiers would inevitably fluctuate, especially when the enemy's strength was ten times greater than his own.

"General Zhao, don't take it lightly in the second half of the night, let the soldiers who are changing shifts be more energetic." Jiang Chengxiao patted him on the shoulder tiredly, leaned his head against the cold wall and closed his eyes to rest.

The Turkic people did not attack again that night, Jiang Chengxiao woke up when the sky was dim.Because of the critical situation, he didn't fall into a deep sleep, he was always half asleep and half awake, so he woke up when there was a glimmer of light on his eyelids.

He got up and stood at the top of the city. Due to lack of sleep, his eyes were red and his vision was a little blurry. It took a while for him to recover gradually, and this time he could see the situation below clearly.The mountain road was full of Turkic corpses, arrows were stuck in the ground, and the destructive power of the trebuchet was clearly visible.He leaned over and looked down, and there were many corpses of the Jin army lying there. Overall, they won the offensive and defensive battle last night.

"Now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief." He thought secretly in his heart. According to his inference, it should be three or four days after the imperial court received his urgent military letter, and it would take at least three days for the imperial army to arrive. Days, which means that he has to stick to it for seven days.

Seven days, this time he really has no confidence.At least the other party has more than [-] soldiers and horses. According to his current situation, he can only hold out for three days at most. This is also his answer to the soldiers.

As for three days later, perhaps the Loufan Gate will have been breached by then.However, his goal has been achieved. No matter how fast the Turkic cavalry is, most of the people in Taiyuan must have withdrawn after three days.

On the other side, Yi Shaxie's 20 troops were all stationed in Shanyang County.In the lobby of Shanyang County, a large group of Turkic nobles gathered together, and Yi Shaxie sat on the main seat, staring at Zhi Siguli who was kneeling on the ground pleading guilty.

"Khan, Zhisi Guli has embarrassed you." Enduring the disdainful and contemptuous gazes of the Turkic nobles, he knelt down on one knee and confessed to Yi Shaxie.First, he was deceived by the cunning Jin army in Shanyang County, and he encountered tenacious resistance when he attacked Loufan Pass last night, causing heavy losses.

At this time, a Turkic nobleman in wolf fur stood up and said viciously: "Khan, it is not good for you to attack the Jin army with your mind and bones, and many subordinates died. You should be severely punished."

Hearing this, Zhisiguli clenched his fists slightly, this damn Shabodu, he knew that this guy would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.He immediately made a promise to Yishaxie: "Khan, please give me one more chance, this time I will definitely win Loufan Pass!"

Sha Bo Duo snorted coldly, walked out and saluted Yi Shaxie, and said proudly: "Khan, Sha Bo Duo can do things that can't be done by stubborn thinking and bone strength, and Khan will give me ten thousand soldiers and horses. Lou Fan Pass must be taken today."

"Khan, please give me another chance!" Zhi Siguli asked again.

Not to be outdone, Sha Boduo said, "Khan, I only need five thousand troops to take Loufan Pass."

"Shut up!" Yi Shaxie stopped the rivalry between the two, and said, "The priority now is to take down Lou Fan Pass, not the time for the two of you to show off."

Hearing this, Zhi Si Gu Li and Sha Bo Duo immediately silenced.Yi Shaxie thought for a while, then said to Sha Bo, "I'll give you 1 people, and you must take down Lou Fan Pass today."

Sha Bo Duo was overjoyed, "As ordered, please rest assured Khan, Sha Bo Duo will not disappoint Khan." He glanced proudly at Zhi Si Gu Li, turned around and strode away.

Zhisi Guli frowned and said: "Khan, Loufan Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The brave cavalry in our hands may not be easy to take down. Please be careful Khan."

Yi Shaxie said: "I know this, but no strong fortress can withstand the bravery of the Turkic warriors. You have worked hard all the way, go down and rest."

Zhisi Guli had no choice but to try it once last night. The cavalry attacking Loufanguan was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and it didn't work at all.But now that he is newly defeated, Khan already has doubts about his command, and everything else is useless.

On the other side, Sha Bodu ordered ten thousand cavalrymen and rushed towards Loufan Pass.

"Hmph, it's just a small pass, let me take it down and show you." Sha Bodu thought to himself.

An hour later, Sha Bodu led the army to Loufan Pass.From a distance, he saw the Jin army waiting in formation on the top of the city, and immediately shouted an order: "The whole army rush! Whoever breaks through Loufan Pass first will be rewarded with a hundred slaves!"

[-] cavalrymen rushed towards Loufanguan on horseback. They fired their bows left and right. The arrows were as dense as a thunderstorm, and a black cloud instantly enveloped the city of Loufanguan.

"jingle jingle."

When the burst of arrows flew over, the soldiers at the top of Loufanguan raised their shields and shot all the arrows.Immediately afterwards, the Jin army shot a round of arrows towards the Turkic cavalry.In order to be able to capture Loufanguan, they did not carry shields with them, and they galloped immediately, watching a round of arrows shoot over.

There were screams, people were killed and horses were thrown, and because of the narrow mountain road, some of the cavalry behind collided with the chaotic cavalry in front, and the scene became uncontrollably chaotic for a while.At this time, the catapults and Fuyuan crossbows in Loufan Pass fired again, and then a large number of arrows and boulders were shot from the gap in this round.

boom!
The huge stone hit the Turkic cavalry, and immediately sucked it into the soil, blocking the advancement of a large number of cavalry.Then, the soldiers on the top of the city once again shot a dense rain of arrows to cover the Turkic cavalry.But Sha Bodu did not stop attacking because of this, but let his subordinates go forward desperately.

The two sides fought back and forth like this for more than an hour. No matter how fierce the Turkic cavalry charged, they were no match for the endless arrows and boulders thrown by the Jin army, and some boulders even blocked the mountain road. But it was still moved away by the Turkic soldiers under the rain of arrows.

"These Turkic people are crazy, do they fight like this?" On the top of the wall, Zhao Jiao cursed in a low voice.These Turkic people are really lunatics, and I don't know how many people were shot to death under the city, but they still have such a brainless attack.

Jiang Chengxiao stood in a corner of the city under the guard of a group of personal soldiers, staring at the Turkic cavalry who charged bravely through the gaps in the shield.The Turks were indeed wolf soldiers, and they charged forward without fear of death in such a dense rain of arrows.In the past hour, some Turkic soldiers even rushed to a distance of about [-] steps from the city gate.

"The order goes on, and everyone steps up the attack."

Following Jiang Chengxiao's order, the rounds of arrow rain in Loufanguan became more and more intensive. Every three breaths, a "black rain" fell from the sky, and countless Turkic cavalry died tragically under the arrows.

The Turks attacked unrelentingly, and the Jin army fought back frantically because of their superior terrain. The two sides were in a stalemate for more than three hours, and the Turkic cavalry finally rushed to Loufan Pass on the mountain road full of corpses.

But at this moment they were dumbfounded, because the arrow rain was dense, they could only rush over alone, and the siege log was still behind.

　Thank you for the monthly ticket of Tianxiamiyuan, this debt is really hard to repay, please give me some time.
