Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 59 Qikou Pass

Heavy rainstorms keep coming here at Qikou Pass.

Since the second half of July, for the first time since the war, Su Dingfang led two thousand light cavalry to raid Dingxiang City. edge back.

After being defeated, Jieli Khan took back the remaining defeated soldiers and kept the last line of defense to cover the retreat of the army.

Not far ahead is the Qikou Pass. As long as you can cross the Qikou Pass, it will be a flat plain. Jieli Khan will soon be able to regroup and invade the Tang Dynasty again.
But when we arrived at Qikou Pass, we found that the remaining [-] garrison troops were gone, and all of them were flags of the Tang Army. On the pass, there were many flags of the Tang Army and flags with the word Cheng.

Among the generals in the Tang Dynasty today, there is only one who can fight the most, and that is Cheng Yaojin, the great devil in the world.

The roads are not easy to walk now, they are all muddy.Now the Turkic soldiers and horses have long been exhausted, and now there are Tang troops waiting for work here at Qikou Pass, Jieli Khan couldn't help but gasped.

The boundaries here are all canyon plates, and large troops cannot attack in an all-round way, so they can only try to attack with three or four thousand soldiers.

Cheng Yaojin was waiting for work, and within an hour, the Turkic soldiers were beaten back.

Before dark, the Turks rectified, and the second battle began again, which lasted all night.

Cheng Yaojin took advantage of the military projects that had been built long ago, and thoroughly used the advantages of the Tang infantry, directly using 5000 people to resist the crazy attack of the Turks.

What kind of trenches, traps, hidden weapons, all the available ones were used, but after one night, both sides filled those trenches with their lives.

After dawn, they retreated and rectified.

After counting the numbers, more than 4000 people died on the Turkic side overnight, and more than 2000 were seriously injured, while on the Tang army's side, only 400 people were killed and 200 people were slightly injured.

When Jieli Khan patrolled his own barracks, he always felt that the atmosphere was too depressing.

They never imagined that Cheng Yaojin did not have many troops, but he was well equipped and had the latest and best weapons, so he had a casualty score of [-]:[-].

As for the Turkic people, they could capture Qikou with just a little bit of a loss, but the defenders of the Tang Dynasty were caught in it, and they turned defeat into victory and started killing.

Originally, Jieli Khan planned to use up to [-] lives in exchange for taking down Qikou, and he wanted to beat Cheng Yaojin to the ground, and then kill all their Tang troops.

After all, Cheng Yaojin was one of the best military generals in the entire Tang Dynasty. If Cheng Yaojin was taken down, those Tang people and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would surely know what it means to be afraid.

Besides, everyone said that Cheng Yaojin's kung fu with the axes was to hit if he could hit it, and to crawl if he couldn't hit it.

They play axes, that's a hobby, they also play horse sticks, they must have two brushes, otherwise it's all luck to fight so many battles?How can there be so much luck in this world.

One night, the retreat of the Turkic army was only due to the advantages of numbers, and a little bit of three-legged cat warfare, which still broke the defense line outside Qikou.

Jieli Khan is not a blind person. Seeing the few corpses of the Tang army on the ground, he knows that the main force of the Tang army is still there.

Then you can only defend, if you can't beat them to death, then trap them to death, and don't come out if you have the ability.

There was Cheng Yaojin blocking the front, and Li Jing was still chasing behind. After Jieli Khan rectified in the morning, he ordered to continue the attack.

The originally criss-crossed and complicated battlefield situation now gradually became clear in Qikou.

As long as Cheng Yaojin and his men can carry Qikou and surround it with Li Jing's army, it will be difficult for Jieli Khan to survive this time.

And Jieli Khan also had to go through Qikou to keep himself and his army. As long as he was still alive, he could do whatever he wanted, so that the green hills remained, and he was not afraid of running out of firewood.

So the key point of the decisive battle now lies in this Qikou, which can determine the fate of the Tang Turkic battle.

What the Turks have to do now is to capture Qikou at all costs, and what the Tang army has to do is to defend Qikou at all costs, trap the Turks to death, and wait for Li Jing's army to come.

The Tang army is united and determined, which is not comparable to the Turks, so now Cheng Yaojin's more than 500 reserve soldiers have not yet reunited in battle.

When the war reached the evening, the Turks had already attacked five or six times in succession. The gate of the pass was suddenly opened, and 1000 Tang troops came out.

These well-equipped and well-trained cavalry fought through the Turkic army and almost captured Jieli Khan's royal flag.

It came suddenly, and it left suddenly. It hit you and ran back. It was too late for you to keep vigil. Jieli Khan almost died of anger.

Cheng Yaojin carried the horse that was full of Turkic blood, stood on the top of the gate tower and looked down, and smiled, "I fought with Cheng on the battlefield, and I can barely learn it after 20 years of practice. My half effort."

"My lord, the horse meat is ready." A personal guard trotted over and said.

"Then why are you so cold, why don't you let everyone have a good meal?" After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin kicked the guard lightly again, "Why are you still here stupidly?" Ah, hurry up and let everyone eat, and kill the Turkic people properly after eating."

As he said that, Cheng Yaojin stood there and shouted to the soldiers covered in blood: "Old Cheng will kill horses and eat meat for you. Don't step on the horse and eat the meat desperately. Remember , just eat half of it."

"Don't worry, my lord, we eat three percent of our ninety percent full, and save seventy percent to kill Turkic puppies."

"Grandpa, fighting under your command, there is meat to eat everywhere. If we want to fight in the future, we still want to follow you."

Fighting is not only about equipment and numbers, but also about willpower. If you eat too much, it will affect your spirit.

Eating too much will also affect the response of thinking and action, which is not conducive to combat. As soon as you start fighting, your body will not be able to bear it.

In the next few days, the Qikou side was already bleeding like a river.

Now the bodies of soldiers killed in battle on both sides of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are as big as a small mountain, and the air in this area is also filled with the smell of blood.

The Tang army is now well-trained and well-equipped, and the 6000 men and horses in Cheng Yaojin's hands also defended Qikou at the cost of 2 deaths, killing more than [-] enemies.

Six days later, when Wei Xiaojie's 1 horses also arrived at Qikou, Li Jing and the others joined forces, waited for work with ease, and launched the final decisive battle against the exhausted Turkic army.
