"Kill! Kill them all! "
"Turks will be invincible soon!"
At this moment, Xieli was as excited as a child. He sat on the back of the horse and danced with joy, extremely excited. For Xieli, this was a heaven-sent opportunity. It was the best chance for him to turn the situation around and break through Yanmen Pass.
Following Xieli's order, the Turk cavalry rode their horses and charged forward.
They charged forward without regard for anything.
Anticipation appeared on the pale faces of the Turk cavalrymen. Now, they finally had a chance to win, a chance to kill their way over.
The majestic Turkic cavalry spread out and launched their most ferocious charge. However, the number of cavalry that Xieli sent out to fight was only thirty thousand.
Yesterday, when attacking Yanmen Pass, he lost six thousand elites. When they returned to the rear camp, after one night, many people's condition worsened and many people even died.
Just the ones left in the rear camp numbered four thousand.
With this calculation, Xieli's eighty thousand elites were left with seventy thousand men.
In the morning, when he ordered to attack Yanmen Pass, thirty thousand cavalry abandoned their horses and went to attack Yanmen Pass on foot. When attacking the checkpoint, warhorses were useless. Only infantrymen could attack the checkpoint.
Therefore, Xieli only had forty thousand cavalry.
Moreover, Xieli wanted to make sure he had a backup plan. Therefore, he left ten thousand men with him and only thirty thousand entered the battlefield. For Xieli, he thought that even if he only had thirty thousand cavalry, he could still win this battle.
This was Xieli's confidence.
On the battlefield, the cavalry of both sides were running quickly. However, the Turk infantry outside the city were the most miserable. Once caught up by the Tang dynasty cavalry, whether it was the charging of the horses or the slashing of the swords, these Turk infantry were like fish on the chopping board. They did not even have the ability to resist and were instantly killed.
The number of casualties was innumerable.
Even though many of the Turkic infantry managed to escape from the Great Tang cavalry, when they retreated, they suddenly encountered a dense group of Turkic cavalry galloping toward them.
These Turk cavalry were running at high speed. If they could avoid colliding with their own people, they would try their best to avoid them. However, if they could not avoid them, they would just charge forward.
Banging sounds of collisions rang out one after another. Batch after batch of Turkic infantrymen were killed by their own cavalry on the battlefield.
The cavalry of the two armies met in the blink of an eye.
Sabers and swords clashed. The Tang dynasty's cavalry was incomparably elite, so their strength was enormous. When the saber slashed down, the saber collided with the saber of the Turks, and the two weapons clashed. The Turks were already weak from diarrhea and had not rested well at night.
In this clash, the weakness of the Turkic cavalry was completely revealed.
In a short period of time, several Turkic cavalrymen had been cut down. The formation of the Turkic cavalry was instantly destroyed. On the other hand, the Tang dynasty cavalry, led by Mordor and the other generals, continued to advance and kill back and forth.
In an instant, countless people were killed.
The formation of the Turkic army also fell into chaos.
"Kill!!"
Mordor roared.
He urged his horse to gallop madly, the long staff in his hand swinging up and smashing down repeatedly. Wherever the iron rod passed, blood would spurt out. No one could stop the murderous Mordor.
Wherever he went, people and horses would be thrown off their feet.
A group of cavalry followed closely behind Mordor, constantly charging and killing.
The most bizarre thing that Mordor encountered was when he smashed down with his staff. Not only was the opponent's arm broken, but his buttocks were also smashed, and feces and urine came out together. He was completely beaten up.
In fact, this situation was not uncommon.
Many Turkic cavalrymen had diarrhea, and their bodies were sore and weak. In particular, their heads were dizzy. Even with Xieli's reward of three days of slaughter, these people's bodies were still weak, and it was difficult for them to resist the attack of the Tang dynasty cavalry.
In the beginning, the outcome of the battle was not obvious, but as time went by, more and more Turkic cavalrymen were killed, and the situation on the battlefield became more and more obvious.
Xieli's cavalry began to be unable to hold on.
This scene fell into Xieli's eyes, and Xieli said with an incredulous expression, "How is it possible? Our Turkic cavalry has a total of 30,000 cavalry. On the battlefield, we actually could not defeat these two-legged sheep of the Tang dynasty. Impossible, this is impossible! "
He roared somewhat hysterically.
It was even more unbelievable.
Si Mo also noticed the situation on the battlefield, and he said, "Khan, since last night, many soldiers have started to have diarrhea, and their bodies are weak, and they can't summon any strength."
"Including me and Kang Sumi, we have had diarrhea several times, and our bodies are a little uncomfortable."
"I'm afraid there is something wrong with their diet."
"It is precisely because of this that our soldiers can't resist the attack of the Tang dynasty army. In my speculation, Du Qi tampered with our diet, and the only possibility is that he tampered with the water source. "
Si Mo put forward his analysis.
Xieli said in a low voice, "But the water source we found was tested for poison at first, and it was not poisonous!"
Si Mo said, "Although the water source is not poisonous, it is possible to tamper with it, such as throwing some rotten corpses in it. After the soldiers eat it, they will definitely feel uncomfortable. For this problem, unless we find the place where the corpses were placed, we can't find out at all. So now, I speculate that there is something wrong with the water source. Fortunately, Khan is strong, so there is no problem. "
"Damn it!"
Xieli gritted his teeth, very angry.
However, he was not willing to retreat, because if he retreated now, it would be difficult to attack Yanmen Pass. Especially after this defeat, there were originally many people in the Turks who did not accept him. At that time, there would be more people who would not obey his orders.
Xieli needed a big victory. With a big victory, he would be able to command the entire Turk tribe, so that the various tribes in the Turk territory would not dare to disobey his orders.
Xieli said, "Kang Sumi, Su Mo, the two of you tell me, if I were to send the last ten thousand cavalry up, I would not be able to do anything. Can we win this battle? "
"Khan, I object."
Si Mo shook his head and said, "In the current situation, Khan, please take a look at the state of our soldiers. Each and every one of the soldiers is a little dispirited and lacks fighting spirit. In particular, many people are not feeling well. I don't think it is suitable to go to war. "
Zhili Sili was also beside Xieli. He was well aware of Du Qi's cunning, and said, "Khan, Du Qi is extremely cunning. I don't think it is suitable to go to war with him now. Moreover, with our strength alone, it is impossible to win and break through Yanmen Pass. I suggest that we withdraw our troops and return. "
Kang Sumi echoed, "Khan, I also suggest withdrawing the troops. In the current situation, if we continue to stay and fight, it will only increase the casualties and allow the Tang army to gain more merits. We should retreat immediately and not give the Tang army a chance. "
Xieli's expression changed again and again.
He was not willing to accept this.
However, even if he was not willing, he felt helpless. Because he was clear that whether it was Si Mo, Kang Sumi, or Zhili, they were all correct.
Currently, it was not suitable to continue fighting.
They could only retreat.
"Retreat!"
Xieli gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
Following the order of the messenger, the sound of the retreat horn began to reverberate outside Yanmen Pass. At this time, the sky had already darkened, as if a large curtain had covered the sky.
Luckily, the starry sky of September was extremely bright. The sky was dotted with stars, so under the night sky, one could see the road clearly.
Countless Turk cavalry began to retreat.
More and more people retreated, but the Tang cavalry did not stop and began to chase.
On the city gate tower.
Du Qi saw Xieli give the order to retreat, and the corner of his mouth curled up in anticipation. Although Xieli had given the order to retreat, but this retreat was only the beginning of Xieli's defeat.
Whether or not Xieli could escape back to the grasslands would depend on Xieli's luck.
