The spring breeze blew, everything revived, and the sound of explosions filled the smoke of gunpowder. The Turkic soldiers who approached the army with their chariots had achieved their goal of consuming Zhou's army's thunder and thunder, and they retreated one after another.

The battle just started and ended not long after, but I didn't know that the next round of attack would come again.

Although the Turkic soldiers retreated, the horse manure piles lit upwards were thick smoke rolling, and the pungent smoke floated towards the Zhou army formation, mixed with the smoke, and the air was filled with a strange smell, causing coughing sounds.

On the banks of the clan Li Mountain, the infantry and cavalry of the Zhou army that were lined up to defend had been confronting the invading Turkic troops for seven days. Seeing that the Turkic army gathered more and more, and they were surrounded, the Zhou army soldiers were ready for a decisive battle.

There are 10,000 infantry and cavalry, and more than half of them are infantry. If you want to break through, only cavalry will have hope of survival. However, here is still hundreds of miles away from the Shuozhou border in the southeast. Under the siege of Turkic cavalry, there are probably not many people who can escape back.

By then, the other party will chase and kill the corpses all over the ground. After the coming year, the fields will be covered with bones. Looking up at the sight of desolation, it is so miserable.

Dugu Pingyun thought so. He used the Qianli Miles Miles to carefully observe the movements of the enemy troops outside. Seeing that there seemed to be more Turkic troops, he sighed, put down the Qianli Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles

"I think the Turkic Khan must be included. As for whether it is Dulan Khan or Datou Khan... Maybe it is Dulan Khan, who dares to bet with me?"

Several other young generals laughed and said, "Oh, so many soldiers and horses surrounded us, the blind man could tell that his head was quite big. Isn't this obvious?"

"I didn't expect that we really got into it. This luck is really good. When I return to Chang'an, I have to hold a drink to celebrate!"

"I'm dreaming, I'm surrounded by people. What's the point of thinking about so much? It's not too late to think about it after winning."

As the conversation was made, everyone looked relaxed. Although they were surrounded by the enemy and the gap in troops was very different, the young generals were still optimistic about the situation.

Before attacking, they expected that they might encounter the main force of the enemy and then be surrounded, so they made sufficient preparations. However, they did not expect that after encountering the main force of the enemy, the opponent's reinforcements would be more and more. After observing these days, they roughly estimated a number:

Nearly one hundred thousand.

This is not a random guess, but a real evidence: the Zhou army had a hot air balloon. After taking off, the scouts sitting in the hanging basket were observed with a thousand-mile mirror and found that there were many Turkic troops gathered in a radius of more than ten miles of the clan Lishan Mountain, roughly estimated to be nearly 100,000.

If there were nearly 100,000 people on the Turks, of course it would be impossible for them to squeeze in to surround the surrounding army. More than half of the troops were probably stationed on the periphery, otherwise so many horses would eat up all the grassroots.

Regardless of whether the enemy's troops have 100,000 troops, it will be difficult for the Zhou army to break through the siege, so they can only fight to the death.

But the Turks were very patient. During this period, they were just besieging them day and night, and then they sent troops to harass them, burning horse manure in the upper wind direction, and choking with the pungent smoke that came out.

The Turkic side tried all their strength to continuously consume the morale of the Zhou army, food, grass and drinking water, trying to dissipate the morale of the Zhou army, and then went down in one go.

It has been seven days now, and it seems that the temperature is almost the same.

When the Zhou army soldiers were very excited when they thought that the war was coming, they would be the first team among the army to win a great victory.

The young generals felt that the news came to Jinyang, and they thought that the Majesty who came to Jinyang would be very happy.

It is the spring of the fourth year of Mingde. At the beginning of the year, the frontier reported urgently that the Turkic Dulan Khan led his army to invade the border, and the troops were directly aimed at the border. The situation on the border was critical. The court immediately mobilized a large army to reinforce and wanted to give the Turkic Dulan Khan a headache.

Among the troops participating in the battle, there was an army that was particularly special, that was the new army that had been organized and trained shortly after it was formed - Xiongwei Army.

Xiongwei Army is a new type of army. This is the first time it has participated in the battle. It attacked in Shuozhou to test the virtual and the realities of the Turkic territory to serve as the flank of the army and disrupt the attack rhythm of the Turkic army.

Now it seems that the effect is good. The Turkic Rangers discovered their whereabouts, and then the main force arrived one after another.

Xiongwei's army fought and left, and when they finally retreated to the vicinity of Lishan Mountain, there were more and more Turkic troops, and they could no longer leave.

If another army was besieged by an enemy with such superior forces, there would be no other choice but to break through, but for the soldiers of Xiongwei Army, it would be the best time for a decisive battle.

Because they were waiting to be surrounded by others this time.

In order to prevent people from being besieged, the water, food, and grass were cut off, and then the sky was consumed and thunder was scattered, and the arrows surrounded the army were in chaos, Xiongwei Army made full preparations for this attack. Although it was a combined army of infantry and cavalry, there were many carriages and were loaded with various types of baggage in case of emergency needs.

The water source was cut off by the Turkic army, but it didn't matter, because there was a "vehicle drilling machine" that directly drilled dozens of wells to supply the army's daily needs.

The food and grass they carried were also sufficient, so even if they were surrounded by ten times the force, the morale of the soldiers was still high.

Although Dugu Pingyun was not the main general, he was extremely excited about being able to participate in such a decisive battle with huge strength. This was the first battle fought by the new army and a fierce battle. Everyone was waiting for a bloody battle to defeat the enemy.

They are graduates of military academy and become the backbone generals of the new army. They are full of confidence and are waiting to make great contributions on the battlefield, but are ridiculed by their elders as yellow-haired boys who talk about war on paper, so everyone is holding back their energy and showing others the strength of their and new army.

Dugu Pingyun read books and knew the story of the Han general Li Ling. Li Ling took five thousand infantry out of the frontier and fought with tens of thousands of Hun soldiers with his chariot formation and powerful crossbows. He fought for eight days and nights, killing countless people.

Dugu Pingyun felt that there were tens of thousands of people on his side now, and there was no reason why Li Ling could do what he could not do. Although the Han army was exhausted and the entire army was wiped out, Li Ling's choice caused a lot of criticism from later generations, Dugu Pingyun felt that his side would not end up being wiped out by the entire army.

Because times have changed!!

......

"The Zhou army has been surrounded by us for so many days, without water sources and foreign aid. The dry food and water they carry must have been consumed almost the same amount. I think it's time to start."

"Where are their sky-bombing thunders? Will there be a lot? I think it's better to spend a few more days, otherwise if the attack is strong, it would be bad if there is too much casualties."

"Wait? Wait a few more days, Zhou's reinforcements may arrive. Everyone is in vain. Who will lose the money?"

"Who is it? Are you embarrassed to count? There are so many soldiers in your hands and are unwilling to work hard. She is herding sheep all day long. Now it's a loss?"

"What did you say!"

"Enough!"

Seeing a quarrel about to break out, Du Lan Khan shouted and interrupted the dispute. Looking at the people in the tent, he pulled back the topic of gradually deviating: "The sheep have not been caught yet, what's the use of fighting for how to divide the meat!"

"Everything is done as agreed in advance. Everyone has a share of Zhou army, armor, weapons, horses, and supplies!"

Although the nobles who participated in the war this time were all rebellious, as the Great Khan, what Du Lan Khan said now was at least a bit deterrent, so the tent gradually became quiet and everyone was waiting for Khan to make an idea.

"We have been surrounded by Zhou army for seven days. It may be a good idea to delay it. The other party has cut off the water source in the past seven days. I am afraid that they can only drink urine or kill horses and drink blood. In addition, the arrows and sky-burning thunder have been consumed by us, so people must be unstable."

"So, there is no need to waste any more..."

Speaking of this, Du Lan Khan asked several generals: "How was the car made in a hurry?"

The generals replied, "Go back to Khan, we have been building cars these seven days. Now the number is nearly 1,000, which must be enough!"

"Okay, get ready now. Everyone will go back and prepare immediately. After a while, the horn sounds. Today we will have to attack with all our might and eat up this Zhou army as soon as possible."

Seeing that the decisive battle was about to be fought today, the nobles were overjoyed and retreated to mobilize their troops. Du Lan Khan walked out of the tent and looked at the clan Lishan in the distance.

There was smoke in that direction, and it was not long before the first round of tentative attack ended in the early morning.

He looked at the soldiers and horses around him again and sneered.
