At this moment, Xieli was as excited as a child. He straddled the horse, dancing and dancing, extremely excited. For Xieli, this is a god-sent opportunity, an excellent opportunity for him to turn things around and break the Yanmen Pass.
Following Xieli's order, the Turkic cavalry rushed forward with their horses and whips.
They sprint desperately.
A look of expectation appeared on the pale faces of the Turkic cavalrymen. Up to now, they finally have a chance to win, and a chance to kill the past.
The mighty Turkic cavalry spread out to launch the most ferocious sprint. But now the number of cavalry Xieli sent up to fight was more than 30,000.
Yesterday when he attacked Yanmen Pass, more than 6,000 elite soldiers under his command were killed or injured. After returning to the rear barracks, many of them became seriously ill and even died overnight.
There are more than 4,000 people who stay in the rear camp alone.
In this way, of the 80,000 elites of Jieli, there are only 70,000 left.
In the morning, he ordered to storm Yanmen Pass. Thirty thousand cavalry abandoned their horses and went on foot to attack Yanmen Pass. Horses are useless to attack this checkpoint, only infantry can attack.
Therefore, there are only 40,000 cavalry around Xieli.
Furthermore, Xieli wanted to ensure that he was able to succeed, so there were still 10,000 people around, and only 30,000 people went to the battlefield. For Xieli, he thought that even with only 30,000 cavalry, he could win this battle.
This is Xieli's self-confidence.
The cavalry on both sides of the battlefield were running fast. But the Turkic infantry outside the city were the worst. Once the cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty overtook them, no matter if they were charged by horses or slashed with knives, these Turkic infantry became like fish on the chopping board, without even the ability to resist, they were immediately beheaded.
Countless Turkic infantry were killed or injured.
Even though there were many Turkic infantry who escaped the cover of the Tang cavalry, when they ran back, they suddenly encountered dense Turkic cavalry galloping on horseback.
These Turkic cavalry ran at high speed, and they were able to avoid and not collide with their own people, so they naturally tried to avoid them. But those who couldn't avoid it rushed forward directly.
I only heard the sound of bang bang, one after another. Groups of Turkic infantry were killed on the battlefield by their own cavalry.
The cavalry of the two armies met in an instant.
When swords and swords meet, the Tang cavalry are unrivaled and powerful. When the horizontal knife fell, the blade hit the Turkic sword, and the two weapons intersected. The Turkic cavalry was weak because of many people having diarrhea, so they didn't have a good rest at night.
In this fight, the weakness of the Turkic cavalry was fully revealed.
In a short period of time, some Turkic cavalry who came forward were chopped off their horses. The formation of the Turkic cavalry was directly destroyed. On the contrary, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, led by Moredo and the rest of the generals, kept rushing forward, covering up and killing back and forth.
For a time, countless people were killed.
The formation of the Turkic soldiers also became chaotic.
"kill!!"
Morador roared.
He rode his horse and galloped wildly, swinging and smashing the long iron stick in his hand. Wherever the iron rod passed, there was a pool of blood, and no one could resist the killing Moredo.
Wherever he passed, people were turned on their backs.
A group of cavalry followed closely behind Moredo, constantly charging.
The most bizarre thing that Mo Ledo encountered was to go down with a stick. Not only did the opponent's arm break, but his ass puffed out, and he was completely crushed.
Even this situation is not uncommon.
Many Turkic cavalrymen had stomach discomfort and their bodies were sore and weak. Especially their minds were dizzy. Even under the three-day reward of Xieli Slaughter, these people's bodies were still weak, and it was difficult to resist the attack of the Tang cavalry.
In the fighting of the war, the outcome of the war was not obvious at the beginning, but as time passed, more and more Turkic cavalry were killed, and the situation on the battlefield became more and more obvious.
Jieli's cavalry began to lose their hold.
This scene fell in Xieli's eyes. Xieli said with an inconceivable expression, "How is it possible? My Turkic cavalry has a total of 30,000 iron cavalry. On the battlefield, they failed to defeat these two-legged sheep of the Tang Dynasty." , Impossible, this is impossible!"
He roared hysterically.
It's even more unbelievable.
Simo also noticed the situation on the battlefield, and he said: "Khan, since last night, many soldiers have started to have diarrhea, their bodies are also weak, and they can't lift their strength.?. "
"Including me and Kang Sumi, we all stretched a few times, and we all feel a little uncomfortable."
"I'm afraid there is something wrong with the diet."
"That's why our soldiers couldn't withstand the attack of the Tang army. From my guess, the only way Du Qi can tamper with our diet is by tampering with the water source."
Simo puts forward his own analysis.
Xieli said in a deep voice: "The water source I found was tested for poison at the beginning, and it was not poisonous!"
Simo said: "Although the water source is not highly poisonous, it is possible for some people to play tricks in it and throw some rotten corpses in it. After the soldiers eat it, they will definitely feel unwell. This problem, unless you find out the place where the corpses are placed , otherwise, we would not be able to find out at all. So now, I speculate that there is a problem with the water source. Fortunately, Khan is strong and strong, so there is no problem."
"Damn it!"
Jie Li gritted his teeth, very angry.
However, he was unwilling to retreat, because now that he had retreated, it would be difficult to attack Yanmen Pass. Especially after the defeat in this battle, he was originally in the Turks, and there were many people who did not accept him. At that time, there will be more people who will not obey his orders.
Xieli needed a big victory, and with a big victory, he could rule the entire Turkic tribe, so that no tribe in the Turkic territory would dare to disobey his orders.
Jieli said: "Kang Sumi and Su Mo, tell me, if I send the last ten thousand cavalry, can we win this battle?"
"Khan, I object."
Simo shook his head and said: "Under the current situation, Khan, please take a look at the state of our soldiers. All the soldiers are a little depressed and lack fighting spirit. Especially many people are unwell. I don't think it is suitable for war. .¡±
Zhishisili was also beside Jieli. He was well aware of Du Qi's cunning, and said, "Khan, Du Qi is extremely cunning. I don't think it is appropriate to start a war with him now. Moreover, with our strength alone, Now it is impossible to win the victory and break through the Yanmen Pass. I recommend that you withdraw your troops and return."
Kang Sumi echoed: "Khan, I also recommend withdrawing the troops. Under the current circumstances, if we continue to stay and fight, we will only increase casualties and let the Tang army make more achievements. We will retreat immediately and will not give the Tang army a chance."
The expression on Xieli's cheeks changed again and again.
He was very unwilling.
But even if he is not reconciled, he is helpless in his heart. Because he knew very well that what Simo, Kang Sumi, and Susi Li said were all correct.
At present, it is no longer suitable to fight again.
It can only be evacuated.
"Withdraw!"
Xieli gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
Following the orders of the messengers, the sound of the retreating horn began to echo outside Yanmen Pass. At this time, the sky was already dark, as if a big curtain covered the sky.
Fortunately, the starry sky in September is extremely bright. The sky is dotted with stars, so the road can be seen clearly under the night.
Countless Turkic cavalry began to withdraw.
More and more people evacuated, but the cavalry of the Tang Army did not stop and began to pursue.
On the tower.
When Du Qi saw Xieli ordering to retreat, the corner of his mouth curled up with anticipation. Although Xieli is now ordering a retreat, this retreat is only the beginning of Xieli's defeat.
Whether Xieli can escape back to the grassland depends on Xieli's fortune. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
