    ?

    In the early autumn of the Northland, there is a trace of coolness in the morning.  At the place where the Turkic army was stationed, Jieli got up early and ordered his soldiers to blow their horns, calling for all the soldiers to gather.

    It's just that Jieli looked around and frowned.  Because wherever he saw, all the soldiers under his command were listless, even Kang Sumi and Simo around him were like this.

    Whether it was Kang Sumi or Simo, their complexions were quite pale.

    Xieli's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "You guys, what's going on here?"

    Simo said: "Khan, it's nothing, it's just that my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, maybe it's because I've eaten something bad."

    Kang Sumi said: "Me too."

    Xieli looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Simo and Kang Sumi, and said: "Not only you, but even the soldiers in the army. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the food in the army. But now, there is no way to solve it for the time being.  We can attack Yanmen Pass first. After we break through Yanmen Pass today, we can think about other things.¡±

    "Report!"

    At this moment, a soldier rushed over quickly.

    After the soldier stood still, he cupped his fists and said, "Khan, something is wrong. Many soldiers had a fever last night, and the fever persisted. I went to see them this morning, and they had died for a long time."

    Jieli looked cold and asked, "How many people are there?"

    The soldier had a look of worry on his face, and reported: "Three hundred and sixty-eight people died in the middle of the night last night. The exact time of death is unknown. In addition, nearly a thousand people continued to have a fever and were unconscious.  "

    Xieli's complexion changed drastically.

    More than three hundred and nearly four hundred people died at once.

    This is not a small amount.

    In particular, there are more than a thousand people who continue to have a fever, which may cause losses.

    Xieli took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and thought about this matter.

    A wise look flashed in Kang Sumi's eyes, and he said: "Khan, the soldiers were wounded by arrows, and nearly 400 people would not die all at once because of the arrow wounds, and there are more than a thousand people who continue to have high fever. I am afraid that the bows and arrows of the Datang army  , was smeared with drugs, which caused so many soldiers to die after the wounds had been treated and bandaged."

    Xieli gritted his teeth and said, "These people from Tang Dynasty are really ruthless!"

    Kang Sumi said: "In other words, Du Qi is ruthless. We have never encountered such a situation when we fought against Datang's army. Only this time, it is like this."

    Simo also echoed: "I agree with Kang Sumi's statement, especially when the fireball thrown by the Tang army yesterday when attacking Yanmen Pass, the smell is disgusting. All of this should be Du Qi's plan.  So ruthless and tricky."

    Xieli said firmly: "It must be so."

    Simo said: "I'm afraid it will not be easy to attack Yanmen Pass this time. But no matter what, we must conquer Yanmen Pass. Otherwise, we have lost so many troops. Once we go back in despair, it will affect Khan's prestige. No matter what  No matter what, we must kill them, take down Yanmen Pass, and slaughter for three days before we can let everyone vent their anger."

    Jieli said: "Simo is right."

    "No matter, let's go!"

    Xieli gave the order to send troops, and the army, mighty and mighty, hurried on their way to Yanmen Pass.  After Xieli's army was dispatched, this situation was quickly discovered by the surrounding sentries.

    Tang Jun's sentry sent back the news of Jieli's dispatch of troops first.

    After Du Qi got the news, he felt relieved and said: "Dingxiang County King, Jieli led the army again. According to the news reported by the sentry, many people in the army under Jieli's command are obviously weak. It seems that it is ours.  The arrangement worked. Speaking of which, Xieli is also a veteran on the battlefield, so he didn't expect that we would tamper with the nearby water source."

    Eldest Sun Shunde said: "Jieli may not have noticed it yesterday, but when he sees the people under his command today, he must be prepared. But the matter has come to this point, and they have no way out."

    In Du Qi's previous arrangement, Li Danen had sent someone to do tricks at the water source near Yanmen Pass early on.

    Du Qi didn't let anyone prescribe drugs.

    Because once poison is used, it is very easy to be discovered.  It can be tampered with in the water source, but it is possible.  Du Qi asked people to take the rotting carcasses of the animals, tied them to stones and sank them to the bottom of the water.

    In this way, the water source will be polluted.

    If you drink unboiled water, it will definitely cause physical discomfort, and the weaker may even die.  If it is boiled, it is slightly better, and it will not cause illness, but it may also be uncomfortable.

    People under Xieli's command were stationed near Yanmen Pass,?? is to fetch water nearby.  Therefore, after drinking water, the people under Xieli's command all showed different symptoms of stomach discomfort, so that their bodies were a little weak.

    This is the battlefield.

    As long as you can win, you will do everything you can.

    Behind Du Qi are thousands of Tang people, he cannot fail, so in this battle, he resorted to various means.

    ? Du Qi smiled and chatted with his grandson Shunde and Li Daen, time passed by little by little.  It was close to Sishi in the morning, the sun was high in the sky, and the weather was much warmer. The army led by Jieli finally came to kill.

    Jieli looked solemn, this time, he did not speak to Du Qiduo.  Because he knew that Du Qi's mouth was tricky, and when he talked to Du Qi, it was very likely that he would lose his words.

    Just start playing directly.

    With Xieli's order, the army under his command attacked again.  For today's attack, Xieli still dispatched 30,000 soldiers to dismount, and then rushed forward quickly with ladders and siege vehicles, so as to storm the city of Yanmen Pass.

    The army attacked the city, and the defense of the Yanmen Gate was still the same formula and the same taste, and the same resistance was adopted as yesterday.

    All morning, slip away quietly.

    In the afternoon, the fighting continued.

    Du Qi observed the fighting on the battlefield and found that Xieli's offensive had been weakened to a large extent.  If yesterday's attack of 30,000 people could exert the fighting power of 30,000 or even 40,000 people, then today's attack of 30,000 people doesn't even have the fighting power of 10,000 people, and their strength has been weakened too much.

    When they arrived near Shen, the offensive of 30,000 people was almost nonexistent.

    Du Qi found that many Turkic soldiers were weak and weak when they attacked.  He was about to attack fiercely, but suddenly, his stomach throbbed, and the power of his swing stopped. Such a pause would be a fatal injury on the battlefield.

    As a result, countless Turkic soldiers were killed or injured.

    Du Qi roughly estimated that before dark today, the number of Turkic soldiers who had been beheaded must have been no less than 10,000.

    ?Because the Turkic side's offensive is too weak.

    Du Qi's eyes were sharp, and he said: "Dingxiang County King, the strength of the Turkic side has been weakened too much. I predict that after tonight, even as long as Jieli retreats, he may lead his troops to evacuate. We must seize the opportunity  , so I suggest, immediately open the city to counterattack."

    Although Li Dayen has been looking forward to it, he still has a little bit of worry when things come to an end, because now, if he fights the Turkic people head-on and cannot defeat the Turkic people, then Yanmen Pass will not be able to hold.

    As Du Qi said, once the opportunity is missed, Xieli will run away.

    It is risky.

    However, there are also opportunities.

    Du Qi looked at Li Dayen, without urging him, because he believed that Li Dayen was not an indecisive person.  He believed in Li Daen and would make a decision in the end.

    After hesitating for a moment, Li Daen made a decision and shouted: "Pass my military order, switch! The cavalry charge forward, followed by the infantry, and counterattack the Turkic people."

    Under Li Dayen's command, there are 20,000 cavalry.

    This is all the cavalry he prepared for this battle.  But in addition to 20,000 cavalry, Li Daen also has more than 20,000 infantry.  These more than 40,000 and nearly 50,000 people are the full strength of Li Dayen.

    Even so, there is still some gap with the Turkic military strength, but the Turkic people's strength is now weakened a lot, so Li Daen is willing to fight.

    "Boom! Boom!!"

    On the city tower, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded.

    The drums are rumbling.

    The sound of the war drums was extremely rapid, and the sound became higher and higher, as if it wanted to break through the clouds.

    Accompanied by the sound of fierce drums, all the cavalry in Yanmenguan City were already in position.  The person at the front of the cavalry was surprisingly Moredo.  He is not by Du Qi's side now, but has joined the cavalry as the leader of the charge.

    The cavalry needs Morador's combat effectiveness.

    "Crunch!"

    The gate of Yanmen Pass has been opened.

    "kill!"

    Morado raised the long iron stick in his hand, pointed it forward, and rushed out quickly as soon as he patted the horse's back.  Accompanied by Moredo's charge, 20,000 iron cavalry rushed out with the sound of mighty war drums.

    More than 20,000 cavalry shouted, killing everywhere.

    Following the rush of more than 20,000 cavalry, more than 20,000 infantry rushed out.  Countless soldiers shouted that the Tang army covering the sky outside the city had already entered the battlefield.  Especially the cavalry, when they spread out and entered the crowd, they killed the attacking Turkic soldiers and scattered them.

    No one can resist it.

    This scene fell into the eyes of Xieli from a distance, and Xieli looked very calm, without any panic.  Jieli saw the Tang army going out to fight.  Not only no worries, but still self-confidence.

    Xieli believes that even his soldiers are affected.  But he thought he could fight, so Xieli was not afraid of rebellion, and shouted the order to let the cavalry under his command attack.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)?? is very calm, there is no panic.  Jieli saw the Tang army going out to fight.  Not only no worries, but still self-confidence.
