Tong Yehu looked at the soldiers who were charging forward and suddenly stopped, not daring to move forward. He was even more furious. However, such a situation caused the soldiers to immediately become live targets.
Arrows flew through the air and landed in the crowd, reaping the lives of the soldiers.
In an instant, there were countless casualties.
Tongyehu ordered, "Blow the horn and attack. Charge forward. No matter what is in front, charge forward. "
"Woo! Woo! "
A bugle horn sounded in the military formation.
This was the sound of urging the attack.
Hearing this, Satuk frowned. This was because the scene in front of him frightened him. No one knew what was under the ground that caused countless people to be killed. It was as if it was the power of ghosts and gods.
However, Satuk did not dare to disobey the order and could only order the soldiers to charge forward. The soldiers under his command did not dare to move forward. Satuk shouted, "Charge forward. The first to charge into Du Qi's camp will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces."
He could only use the method of a heavy reward.
This was what it meant to be brave when there was a heavy reward. Especially under the orders of Tongyehu and Satuk, the soldiers still charged forward. This time, Satuk had learned his lesson. He did not charge at the front. Instead, he waited for the soldiers to move forward before he charged forward.
Just as Satuk took a step forward and stepped on the ground in front of him, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.
"Boom!!"
There was an explosion.
Suddenly, Tatuk felt a surge of majestic power, which caused his body to fly into the air. Under the impact of this explosion, his internal organs were destroyed.
His entire body was in intense pain for a moment. Soon after, he felt his vision darken, and he lost all his senses. He no longer had any consciousness left.
When his body fell to the ground, Satuk was already dead. It was the same for the people around Satuk.
They were all killed by the explosion.
"General Satuk is dead."
A soldier in the crowd suddenly shouted. Originally, many Turkic soldiers were charging forward quickly. However, there were still mines in front of them. As many of them charged forward, explosions sounded one after another.
Wave after wave of soldiers were killed.
The Turkic soldiers were stunned.
He was even more afraid.
This was especially true when news of Satuk's death spread. Many of the Turkic soldiers no longer dared to charge forward. Instead, they began to retreat in fear. As they retreated, they were still shot down by the archers.
One by one, the Turkic soldiers fell to the arrows.
By the time all the Turkic soldiers had returned to Tongyehu's side, only thirty-six hundred of the original five-thousand-some soldiers remained. More than one thousand of them had died outside the camp.
Even Saketu was killed.
Du Qi raised his hand and the archers stopped attacking. He looked at Tong Yehu outside and laughed coldly, "Tong Yehu, have you seen the casualties of your soldiers?"
"I am the reincarnation of the Lord of Light of Manichaeism. I am a god who has descended to the mortal world and is blessed by the heavens."
"It's impossible for your soldiers to kill their way into the camp, because the ghosts and gods will help this king. This Prince only used a few arrows, but you lost ten to twenty percent of your soldiers. Even the general leading the army died. "
Du Qi said, "Tongyehu, do you still dare to attack?"
Tong Yehu frowned and clenched his fists.
He clenched his fists, his face filled with a solemn and unwilling expression. Although Tong Yehu also believed in ghosts and gods, he did not believe in the protection of the Lord of Light after seeing the previous explosion.
However, Tong Yehu did not know what this was.
It was also unbreakable.
If his soldiers wanted to charge forward, they had to break through this barrier. If they could not break through, they would be blocked outside Du Qi's camp. Tong Yehu could not think of a way to break through. He looked at Zhao Deng and said, "Mr. Zhao, do you have a plan?"
Zhao Deng said, "Khan, I can't think of one in such a short time. However, I think that since we don't know Du Qi's plan, we should retreat first and confront Du Qi before finding a way to break through. "
Tong Yehu was unwilling, but after hesitating for a while, he looked at Du Qi and said, "Du Qi, if you have the ability, don't hide in your turtle shell. Send your soldiers out of the camp to fight. I would like to see how your soldiers are going to act. "
Du Qi said, "You have seventy thousand soldiers, and I, Du Qi, don't have many soldiers. If I come out to fight with you now, won't I be using my weakness to attack your strength? Tongyehu, you are the Western Turkic Khagan. Don't you know this little bit of military strategy? If that's the case, you are too stupid. "
Tong Yehu's expression changed again.
After being humiliated by Du Qi, Tong Yehu wanted to charge forward with all his soldiers. However, when he thought about the explosions just now, Tong Yehu felt helpless.
"Retreat!"
Tong Yehu gave the order.
He turned around and left on his horse. Zhao Deng and the rest of the Turkic soldiers also quickly retreated.
This scene was witnessed by all the soldiers under Du Qi's command, and all of them cheered. In fact, other than Du Qi, Xue Rengui, and the other core members of Du Qi's army, no one else knew about landmines.
When these soldiers saw the explosions, they believed that Du Qi was protected by a supernatural being, thinking that Du Qi was under the protection of a supernatural being.
This was Du Qi's goal.
Even though he used landmines, he sealed the news so that no one would know about it. Even the soldiers in charge of burying the landmines didn't expect such an explosion. They had never seen it before, so they thought that the previous explosions were under the protection of a supernatural being.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be consecutive explosions.
At this moment, Du Qi dismissed the assembled soldiers and brought Ma Yuan, Xue Rengui, and the others back to the central tent. He looked at his subordinates and said, "We won the first clash by using landmines."
"However, in my opinion, such a defense won't be able to stop Tong Yehu."
"He will definitely break it."
"Moreover, it's not complicated to break the landmine explosion. After the landmine formation is broken, the next step will be close combat. Therefore, there will still be fighting, so we must arrange the defense well. "
Du Qi said, "Ma Yuan, Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi, you all arrange carefully and make sufficient preparations."
"Yes!"
Ma Yuan and the other two answered in unison.
To them, they were confident that they could win this battle.
Ma Yuan changed the topic and said, "Your Highness, although we are mainly defending and waiting for news from Registrar Guo and Adjunct Yi, I think we can take the initiative to attack at night. At least we can disturb the enemy and not wait to be beaten. "
Du Qi said, "At night, we'll check the enemy's defenses first."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "In addition, Tong Yehu may also attack the camp. However, he may not attack the camp from the entrance, but from another direction. In short, consider all aspects and make preparations. "
"I understand."
Ma Yuan cupped his fists and answered.
Ma Yuan, Xue Rengui, and Xiao Yuanqi withdrew to discuss the follow-up defense arrangements.
Du Qi and Jiang Changzong talked about the defense of the camp, and Jiang Changzong also went to arrange the patrol. Du Qi, on the other hand, was free. He seemed very relaxed because he would definitely win the battle against Tong Yehu.
