The previous wave of Fiery Boar Formation had already caused many casualties to the Turkic cavalry.
Even if Zhi Shili did not count the losses, he was certain that the Fire Boar Formation's attack had caused at least two thousand cavalry to lose their lives. It was not necessarily the cavalry that were killed, but the war horses that were knocked over, men and horses were thrown off their feet, the cavalry had suffered countless losses.
At this moment, another dense pile of rolling logs fell down. These logs were especially dense and incomparably heavy. As the logs continued to roll down, the area was even wider than the Fiery Boar Formation, causing more Turkic cavalry to be unable to dodge.
"Peng! Peng!! "
The sound of collisions rang out continuously.
War horses fell down one after another.
The neighing of war horses rang out on the slope, and many more Turkic cavalry fell.
They were all tripped.
Although Zhi Shu Si Li managed to dodge the attack, his heart was incomparably furious. Although the attack this time was not as strong as the Fiery Boar Formation, the losses were much greater.
At least, this time, at least three thousand cavalry had been killed.
Zhi Shisui swept his gaze around, and his face twitched. The Turkic cavalry under him was sparse, probably not even two thousand men. All of them were terrified.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Zhi Sili knew that the situation was bad.
If they were attacked a few more times, the thousands of elite cavalry under him would be wiped out. He quickly ran up the slope, but at this time, there were no more Battering Trees or Fire Boars. Only archers nocked their arrows and began to shoot up the slope, hoping to kill as many Turkic cavalry as possible.
However, with the Turkic cavalry scattered, it was not possible to kill many.
When Zhi Sili reached the top of the slope, he saw that Li Xiaogong had gathered all the soldiers, and they were all using spears to defend. While Li Xiaogong was defending, more Black Armor Elite Cavalry came from afar.
When Zhi Sili saw the situation, he did not want to continue fighting, and he gave the order to retreat.
He did not believe that the Tang army would dare to charge in such weather. When Zhi Sili broke out, he realized that the Black Armor Elite Cavalry did not charge over. Instead, they started to form a blockade on the slope.
If any Turkic cavalry who had fallen on the ground ran up, they would be killed.
This was to cut off the retreat path of the Turkic cavalry.
At this moment, the Fire Pig Formation and the rolling wood had already rushed to the bottom. Even if the pigs charged down one after another with great momentum, they were still affected by the moat and the fences. In the end, they were unable to charge into the military camp.
The hay on the pigs' tails had already been burned to ashes. Although the pigs' tails were still in pain, it was not as hot as before. Furthermore, after a series of collisions, the pigs did not move forward. They rolled down the wooden planks and quickly stopped.
Seeing this, Li Shimin no longer hesitated and ordered, "Sound the drums, send troops to take down the Tujue cavalry."
Dong! Boom!
The mighty sound of the battle drums suddenly echoed in the air.
"Kill!"
One by one, the Tang soldiers, who had already gathered, charged out.
The leaders were Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji.
As the two of them charged forward, the soldiers under their command quickly spread out and charged up the slope, taking down the Turkic cavalry. In the face of the overwhelming Tang army, the injured Turkic cavalrymen who had fallen to the ground were all terrified.
No one dared to resist.
One by one, they threw away their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.
The warhorses were kept away by the Tang soldiers. As for the heavily injured warhorses, they could only be killed.
The entire night was spent dealing with the battlefield.
While the Tang army was dealing with the battlefield at the Falling Moon Slope, the army led by Zhisi Sili had already left the Falling Moon Slope.
Zhisi Sili ordered people to count the losses.
Ding Xi hurriedly went.
Although the Falling Moon Slope was dangerous, Ding Xi knew how to ride a horse and his riding skills were not bad. Furthermore, he had been following behind Zhisi Sili and had managed to charge out safely.
After counting the losses, Ding Xi came before Zhisi Sili. His expression was extremely serious as he said, "General Zhisi Sili, in the battle at the Falling Moon Slope, we lost 5800 cavalry. Currently, only 1,125 people had managed to escape. Our losses this time are too great. "
When Zhisi Sili heard this, he immediately roared in rage.
He had actually lost such a good situation.
He had fallen into a trap and lost 7000 Turkic cavalry. One must know that on the flat and wide grassland, 7000 Turkic cavalry was enough to fight against 10. Even when facing 70,000 infantry, 7000 Turkic cavalry could still roam around and fight.
However, in this battle, he had lost countless.
The most important thing was that this ambush was the same as the last time he attacked. He had lost countless soldiers, but the Tang army's losses were negligible. Compared to his losses, it was negligible.
This made Zhisi Sili furious, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
He did not know how to explain to Xieli.
Zhisi Sili said, "Ding Xi, what should we do next?"
Ding Xi knew that Zhisi Sili was now on the verge of exploding. If he did not answer well, Zhisi Sili's anger might surge and directly kill him. Therefore, Ding Xi thought for a moment and said, "General, we still have a chance."
Zhisi Sili said, "What chance?"
Ding Xi said, "We will go to Quzhou County and ask for Liu Heita's help first. I remember that in the battle at Sanjiangkou, Liu Heita captured many Tang soldiers. After we go, let Liu Heita use these Tang soldiers to force Li Shimin to hand over our Turkic cavalry. As long as all the cavalry are back, everything will be easy. "
After a pause, Ding Xi said, "Not only that, let Li Shimin return all the horses. Although after fighting for a while, many Turkic cavalry were killed or injured, but a rough estimate shows that at least 5000 survived. "
"Wonderful!"
Joy appeared on Zhisi Sili's face.
This was a good plan.
Ding Xi said, "General, but this matter needs Liu Heita's agreement. If Liu Heita does not agree, even if we go, Liu Heita will not cooperate. "
"He dares!"
Zhisi Sili gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Once Liu Heita refuses, I will send a letter to Khan, saying that our defeat was caused by Liu Heita's scheme. At that time, Liu Heita will not be able to bear the consequences. Without our Turkic army, Liu Heita will not have a bottom line. Therefore, he must help me exchange for all the Turkic cavalry. This is the bottom line, it is not allowed to be trampled. "
"Yes, yes!"
Ding Xi hurriedly nodded and answered.
Zhisi Sili was the main general, and Ding Xi was also attached to Zhisi Sili. Therefore, whatever Zhisi Sili said, it was what it was. Since he raised the possibility, he could not be blamed.
Zhisi Sili ordered, "Let's go, we will rush to Quzhou County tonight. The earlier we arrive, the earlier we can make arrangements. Otherwise, when Li Shimin's army arrives and we are not, it will be difficult. "
"Yes!"
Ding Xi nodded and answered.
Everyone got up, took out their matches, and lit the torches they had brought with them. The torches dispelled the darkness, and under the illumination of the bright moonlight, all the Turkic cavalrymen hurried on their way, heading straight for Quzhou County.
