"From the beginning to the end, my goal has been to completely defeat the Turks!"
Zhou Yi's words were as powerful as a thunderclap, suddenly ringing in Yun Zhongxiao's ears, causing the world-famous former Ming Cult leader to reveal an expression of disbelief: "This... This... How is this possible?"
"Haha! Even you don't believe it, right!" Zhou Yi lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "If we continue to sweep the rear like a guerrilla team, I can guarantee that with the Thirteen Wings, our martial arts, and this elite cavalry, the Turks will definitely not be able to stop us, but so what?"
"As long as Feng Yancheng realizes that his rear can't stop us, he will ********* lead his army to attack the Burerhan Mountain area. Once Temujin is defeated, we will become an isolated army, and even if we achieve great results, it will be meaningless!"
"So, you want to..." Yun Zhongxiao's eyes moved, as if he had thought of something, "establish a base in the rear?"
"That's about right!" Zhou Yi gently stroked the rusty city wall with one hand, looked into the distance at the horizon, and said, "Nothing can hone people more than war. Perhaps from today on, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people will die in Linhuang Prefecture... But those who survive will be the real elites who have experienced many battles! With them, we can truly reverse the situation outside the Great Wall. This is our only chance to defeat the Turks!"
The army of Fengyan City arrived faster and more urgently than expected!
The assembly and preparation of hundreds of thousands of troops were completed in just three days. When the news of Linhuang Prefecture's defeat reached the front line of the Burerhan Mountains, Fengyan City was furious and ordered the Eastern Army, which was sweeping the rear to maintain food and grass, to destroy this small army that had repeatedly trampled on the invincible power of the Turks at all costs!
The third day after the capture of Linhuang Prefecture.
After three days of forced march, the Eastern Route Turkic Army arrived at the city of Linhuang Prefecture and quickly completed the assembly work for the siege. Nearly 600,000 soldiers and horses surrounded Linhuang Prefecture from all directions, and densely packed legions set up camps along the way.
Zhou Yi still relied on the elite Mongolian cavalry, trying to launch a surprise attack while the Turks were maintaining stability. However, his plan was seen through by the Eastern Army General Youming. This Turkic general, who was the smartest general with a gloomy face, personally organized a counterattack and tried to wipe out this elite force in one bite. Unfortunately, Zhou Yi's reaction was also top-notch. Noticing anything wrong, he immediately led his troops to retreat. The first round of confrontation between the two sides came to an end!
According to Youming's steady and cautious character, he should have adopted siege tactics. However, a few days ago, news came from the frontline Fengyan City about the Mongolian army. He chose to launch a strong attack on the city of Linhuang Prefecture after a day of rest!
Because even Youming himself secretly believed that facing this isolated city, the 600,000 Turkic troops under his command would be enough to destroy the small Linhuang Prefecture with just one wave.
The arrival of dawn made the military situation outside the city even more shocking: there was no formation anymore, and no need for any formation.
In the morning mist, countless teams of soldiers and horses were crowded together, making it difficult to distinguish who was who. The crowds of soldiers and horses were endless, and the crowds of people and horses were so dark that the edge could not be seen with the naked eye. These densely packed soldiers and horses were like mountains, towering and heavy, moving their long legs to the foot of the city. It seemed that the entire Linhuang Prefecture, which had stood for thousands of years and was majestic and magnificent, was trembling under the endless pressure outside the city.
The soldiers on the top of the city held their breath and watched the powerful army below the city, their hearts pounding. The enemy army was so numerous that it was like an endless ocean, and the clouds covering the sky above the ocean were like countless fluttering flags. Wherever people looked, they saw a crowd of heads.
This army was temporarily recruited by Zhou Yi and others. Except for a small number of remnants of the original Khitan soldiers, all the others were new recruits. Their anxious mood could be felt from a distance.
"Brothers!" A gentle but powerful voice slowly spread across the city walls. The young man in white clothes and holding a long sword slowly walked up to the top of the city walls, with unshakable determination in every step: "We no longer have the opportunity to rest. There are 600,000 Turkic troops outside the city. I don't want to comment on how powerful they are. I just want to tell you that there will be more and more of them... So, are you scared?"
"To be honest, I'm scared too! You know I'm very skilled in martial arts, probably one of the most powerful people in the world, but facing an army of 600,000, I'm not sure. But do we have to retreat because of fear? Think about what has happened to this city and to you over the years. Do we have to face such humiliation again?"
"No! Never again! I guarantee that every inch of land that the Turks outside the city step on will be stained with blood, either yours or theirs! Don't think about how difficult and incredible this will be! Because no matter what happens next, I will be by your side, even if there is a river of blood and corpses everywhere, please count me in!"
"So, don't be nervous or afraid. From now on, we only need to think about one thing! No matter whether there are 100,000 or 100,000 Turks, every step they want to take from now on, please fill it with your life!"
On the top of the city wall, Zhou Yi's handsome face turned red with indignation, and his high-pitched voice burst out under the influence of his inner strength. At this moment, he paused, and the entire city wall suddenly fell into a dead silence. Everyone tried to raise their heads and look at the young man in white on the top of the city wall, and slowly uttered the next word!
"kill."
There was silence for a moment, and then someone nearby said, "Kill!"
The voices of the people in the back also rang out: "Kill—"
There was another moment of silence, and the voices of tens of thousands of people gathered like a tide, like a thunderous roar: "Kill——————" rolling up the entire sky and clouds, and the earth was shaking.
A moment later, outside the city, war drums roared and military trumpets sounded like thunder.
Countless soldiers and horses shouted like a tsunami and rushed towards the city. The attack began!
The guarding soldiers suddenly felt that the entire city wall and the earth were shaking. Even those veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles had never seen such a ferocious attack.
Dense rain of arrows tore through the sky and quickly fell from the top of Linhuang City. Batches of charging Turkic troops kept falling, and soon even the moat in front of the city turned bright red and was gradually filled with sand, stones, blood and flesh.
In the wilderness outside the city wall, the rustling sound of footsteps was becoming more and more intense. Turkic soldiers holding shields rushed over. The shouts were heard from afar at first, and gradually, like a plunging tide, it merged into a violent whistle!
As the sky gradually brightened, the bloody smell gradually spread, and this was just the beginning! (To be continued)
