Stimulated by money and women, the Turkic offensive suddenly became extremely violent, like a fire cooking oil, the offensive was intense, and the aggression was like fire.
For the Turks, allowing them to plunder wantonly is already the greatest reward.
Because under normal circumstances, the Turkic brigade went south to plunder, and wanton plundering was basically not allowed. Even if food and women are looted, they are all arranged and distributed by Xieli.
It is different if wanton looting is allowed.
What you grab is your own, and everything depends on your ability.
Countless Turkic soldiers, with fierce eyes, rushed forward screaming. When he got to the bottom of the city tower, he climbed up along the ladder. One by one is going all out, regardless of their own lives, regardless of the defense on the tower, and keep climbing up.
Not to mention, this kind of offensive did put a certain amount of pressure on the garrison at Yanmen Gate.
However, that's all.
Du Qi immediately ordered that two thousand soldiers be dispatched from the army camp in Yanmen Pass to assist in the defense. As soon as the two thousand fresh troops joined the battlefield, the defensive strength increased greatly, and within a short period of time, the Turkic people who rushed up were beaten down.
Du Qi's defense for this battle was not to send all his troops in one go, but to split Li Daen's troops.
On the tower, there are only five thousand soldiers guarding it.
The rest of the more than 20,000 elites all stayed in the pass to rest and recharge their batteries. Once there is an invincible situation on the tower, a new force will be drawn to join the battlefield. In this way, there is always an army in top condition and ready to go into battle at any time.
It's not like a swarm of bees is on the tower, it is easy to lose the rules, and it is easy to affect morale.
The fighting is still going on.
Time passed by little by little, the sky was getting late, and when the sun set, the sky was already dark.
On the tower, the torches were lit.
One after another, the torches crackled and burned, dispelling the darkness that gradually filled. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stationed on the tower were still as stable as Mount Tai, without any panic or confusion.
Xieli outside the pass clenched his fists.
He was very unwilling.
Today's fierce attack, he suffered a lot of losses, but he failed to win Yanmen Pass, which made Xieli even more impatient. The originally calm heart lost its composure at this moment.
Kang Sumi was the counselor, and he said: "Khan, it's already dark. We attack at night, we can't see anything clearly, which is very bad for us. I suggest you retreat temporarily. It's not too late to attack again tomorrow morning."
"Withdraw!"
Xieli is a decisive person. Even though he was unwilling to retreat in his heart, he knew that it was not convenient to attack at night, so he gave the order to retreat. As the order was issued, the attacking Turkic army stopped and began a mighty retreat.
With this retreat, the pressure on the upper tower of Yanmen Pass suddenly decreased.
Immediately, cheers sounded again.
For the soldiers guarding border counties all the year round, the Turkic army came and went like the wind, making it extremely difficult to deal with. In their hearts, they still have some fear and even some fear of the Turks.
The reason is very simple. In recent years, the internal strife in the Central Plains has weakened its power. On the contrary, the Turks on the grassland are powerful and invincible in all directions from north to south, and they cannot resist at all.
Therefore, they will be afraid of Turkic people.
But in this battle, they not only defended the Yanmen Pass, but also severely injured the Turkic people, so countless people cheered. The cheers soared into the sky, resounded through the heaven and earth, and reached the ears of Xieli and his party who had withdrawn.
Jieli's expression was even more embarrassing.
What a shame!
He Jieli has been fighting for decades, and he has never been so embarrassed. This is the first time.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Xieli kept ordering, he was too lazy to go to Yanmen Pass again. After resting for a night, when he attacks Yanmen Pass tomorrow, he will definitely win Yanmen Pass.
However, the men and horses under Xieli's command are mainly cavalry. After the siege soldiers retreated, they got on their horses one by one, and retreated quickly on their horses. A group of people evacuated, and quickly evacuated to the place where they were stationed last night.
This place is only about six miles away from Yanmen Pass.
There is a water source nearby.
Conducive to the garrison of the army.
After the army was stationed, Jieli ordered people to count the losses, and when the results of the battle were counted and reported, Jieli's complexion darkened. In the battle against Yanmen Pass during the day, as many as 6,300 people died in the battle under his command. Hundreds of people were injured.
This situation made Xieli very angry.
After Kang Sumi reported the results of the battle, he continued: "Khan, the attack on Yanmen Pass is just the beginning. Now that things have developed to this point, Yanmen Pass must be broken."
"If you don't break the Yanmen Pass, don't go into Daizhou to plunder, Khan will lose face."
"So after breaking the Yanmen Pass, I think it is not only necessary to allow looting for three days. As long as we still have troops and enough strength, we will continue to loot south."
"In short, we must kill thoroughly."
"Let all the soldiers vent all their inner grievances."
Kang Sumi said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that this battle has suffered huge losses and no big gains, so it is difficult to explain to the people of the various tribes. This is my analysis."
Jie Li said: "That's the truth."
While Kang Sumi was chatting with Jieli, Simo entered. Simo is also Xieli's confidant. When he saw Xieli, he reported: "Khan, I just"
As soon as he spoke, suddenly, there was a grunting sound in the room. The sound was loud, followed by rumbling farts, and Kang Sumi's complexion changed.
Suddenly, Kang Sumi said with a painful expression on his face, "Khan, I have a stomachache. Let's talk about things first, and I will solve the problem."
He left in a hurry.
Simo continued: "Khan, I just inspected the wounded soldiers. Some of these wounded soldiers are fine. However, the wounds of some soldiers show signs of getting worse. They even started to have a fever. There seems to be something wrong with this situation.¡±
Xieli's heart sank, and he said, "People who have a fever must be treated with caution. Let us Turkic wizards treat everyone immediately. In short, we can't let it go."
"yes!"
Simo nodded in answer.
Just after Simo responded, the expression on Simo's face also changed slightly. He also felt very uncomfortable in his stomach, but this level of pain was still tolerable.
Simo suppressed the pain in his stomach, and continued to report the situation in the army. After a long while, Simo finished reporting everything, and then got up to leave. But when Simo just walked out of the camp, the pain in his stomach came in waves.
This is really unbearable.
He bowed his waist in pain, and quickly went to the place where Kang Sumi was before.
It's just that when Simo arrived, his complexion changed drastically, and he immediately covered his nose. The smell around here is really stinky. Especially when there were many soldiers present, no less than hundreds of them.
Simo couldn't hold back any longer, quickly took off his pants, and after a crackle, he was relieved. He looked around, although the number of people didn't increase much, but after some people left, others made up, and there were always people there.
Simo frowned.
Something is wrong with this situation!
But for the time being, Simo didn't know what happened, and didn't have the heart to think about it. After he got up and left, he dragged his slightly tired body back to his tent to rest.
After a busy day, I am tired.
When the Turkic camp was busy up and down, the losses in the direction of Yanmen Pass on the other side had been counted. Including the corpses on the tower above Yanmen Pass and outside Yanmen Pass, all of them have been disposed of.
All corpses were burned.
This is a must.
Once the corpse is left behind, once it rots, it is very easy to cause the plague, which must never happen. Even Du Qi ordered the soldiers to sprinkle lime powder on the places where there was blood on the towers for sterilization.
?Ensure the safety of Yanmen Pass.
In the room.
Li Dayen, Changsun Shunde and Du Qi took their seats.
Although the night is dark now, but the expression on Li Dayen's face is filled with a bright smile, he is not tired at all, but incomparably energetic.
Li Daen said happily: "Erlang, in today's battle, although we lost 798 people at Yanmen Pass, according to the results of the count, we killed at least 6,000 Turks. It is an unbelievable result. Such a result, when it is reported back to the imperial court, will definitely cause a big shock."
Today's Li Daen is full of expectations.
There is hope for this battle.
Du Qi chuckled and said: "Dingxiang County King, this battle has just begun. And now, only more than 6,000 people have been killed. According to the people injured by bows and arrows today, by then, the Turks will lose more people After this battle, we will definitely win a big victory. What we need now is time, and we need more time."
Li Dayen nodded in agreement hastily, and praised: "That's the truth. Next, we will definitely achieve more brilliant results. It's because I'm petty."
He was looking forward to it.
The eldest Sun Shunde looked at Du Qi and was amazed in his heart. Du Qi is a young boy, not only proficient in poetry, management, but also so proficient in war, he can be called a monster!
