The military newspaper said that the Spike Army arrived at Talas City in the afternoon and besieged the city in the evening. After sunset, thousands of arrows were fired, and the crossbow arrows were like a storm, which lasted for a long time. Until all the houses in the city were turned into rubble, and the ordinary soldiers were killed and injured, the Spike Army stopped the rain of arrows and began to attack the city.
Relying on fierce beasts and war horses, the Spike Army galloped in front of the city wall. The men and horses leaped up the city together, and the monks on the city wall gathered to intercept them. The commander of the Wolf Fang Army, lance and iron hoof, charged extremely fiercely, and the Dashi cultivator was invincible, and the stars fell like rain. The big monk of the defenders, call? Zhi Nuo hot play? 浞芰i barium school? Nao surname pox scar? Building Huan eggplant? ㄅ Ye
In less than half an hour, the Spike Army rushed into the city, and the defenders formed a formation to fight, relying on large shields and spears, inflicting a lot of trauma on the Spike Army. However, because the city was already flat, the defenders were finally broken by the beasts and war horses. Under the trample of iron hooves, the defenders were killed and injured countless times, so they were invincible.
Afterwards, the Spike Army ran back and forth in the city, entering from the south gate, exiting from the north gate, entering from the east gate, exiting from the west gate, and fighting endlessly alternately, the defenders in the city fell into a dead end and could not extricate themselves.
It was day and night, the city was filled with blood, mixed with waves of blood-colored aura, dyeing one side of the night sky red, and the sound of fierce battles and howls was heard far away for hundreds of miles.
It was not yet clear and the war was over. Talas City fell into the hands of the Spike Army. The defenders were devastated by the army. Only a few thousand people broke through and escaped westward. The roads are filled with corpses inside and outside the city, and the blood is flowing in the oars, making it impossible for people to walk.
The first ray of morning light fell on the top of the city, and Li Ye looked solemn.
The Spike Army's attack on Talas City was the breakthrough point for him to break the stalemate, but the tens of thousands of casualties still made his heart ache.
The 100,000 soldiers of the Spike Army, which is equivalent to the combat power of 200,000 qi-training monks, attacked a city with only more than 100,000 qi-training monks garrisoned. With proper tactics, clearing obstacles in advance, and having the advantage of arms, It still lost nearly 40,000 monks' combat power.
The Crescent Sect monks are indeed not to be underestimated.
However, after this battle, the balance between Datang and Dashi in the Black Khanate was completely broken. In the future, the Spike Army only needs to drive straight in. In front of them, there will no longer be any army or city that can stop their footsteps.
This will cause changes in the entire battle situation. The Dashi army will be forced to retreat. Not to mention the ease of offense and defense, their front is also facing a complete collapse. As for where to return to stabilize, it depends on the attack speed of the Spike Army, compared with the return speed of the Dashi Army.
The Spike Army's fine cavalry has an advantage in foot strength. Under normal circumstances, they will go deep into a very long distance. During this process, the Spike Army can choose at will according to the development of the situation, whether to cut off the defense of the Dashi army, making it difficult for them to return home and die in a foreign land.
No matter how the battle situation develops, as long as Datang does not make big mistakes, he will completely control the situation!
Of course, to achieve this goal, there is another prerequisite, that is, the Tiger Guards in Hulun City cannot be defeated by Mullen's Guards. Once the Tiger Guards end up in the same fate as Xi Luchi's own army, the Spike Army will not be able to rush westward, and must return to rescue the Habayashi Army, and then the battle situation will undergo new changes.
In a good situation, a new balance will be formed, and in a bad situation, the Tang army will be completely defeated.
Different from Li Ye's relatively calm expression, Ma Lun's expression was very distorted, his whole face wrinkled into a bun, and the anger in his eyes was no longer in the mood to hide.
"How do you think Ma Lun will respond?" Li Maozhen asked Li Ye with interest from the side.
"Either withdraw troops immediately, or give it a go." Li Ye said naturally, and Mu Lun didn't have many choices.
If Mullen chooses to withdraw his troops, with 50,000 fresh troops as cover, the Tiger Guards who have been fighting fiercely for many days will not be able to pursue them, but it is hard to say whether the rear will be cut off by the Spike Army.
If Mullen chooses to give it a go, as long as he defeats the Tiger Guards, he can turn the tide of the battle, but if he fails to defeat the Tiger Guards, his Guards will die.
Neither option is easy to do.
As Shangguan Qingcheng led the Spike Army Jingqi, quickly captured Talas overnight, and nearly wiped out Xi Luchi's pro-army, the situation was already developing in a direction that was beneficial to Datang.
Before King Qi could speak again, Mullen had already made his choice.
The Dashi Guards came out of the battalion and began to prepare for the attack.
"Although the Tiger Guards are guarding the city, the city walls are too weak to restrict Qi training monks. The Dashi Guards already have an advantage in strength. Although these days of attacking the city, the casualties are greater than the Tiger Guards. But if they cooperate with 50,000 rare soldiers to fight to the death, the Tiger Guards will be in a dire situation."
Li Maozhen glanced at Li Ye, and spoke seriously, but there was excitement in her long and narrow eyes.
She is very clear that at this point in the battle, Hulun City and even the entire battle situation have reached the final point of victory and defeat, and it is time for her to play, "Whether or not Hulun City can be defended will determine the outcome of the war between Datang and Dashi." towards."
Li Ye nodded and didn't say much.
The situation couldn't be clearer.
It depends on who wins today.
The Dashi Guards began to take over the city.
They still have about 100,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 people, boundless, and the 100,000 troops are rushing forward. Anyone who sees them will be shocked.
It was a feeling of fear similar to the fear of a big river bursting its embankment or flooding. Personal power is too small, and it is impossible to control one's own destiny in such a situation.
King Qi was full of eagerness to try, and he was gearing up and said, "The Tang Dynasty has an army of 300,000 Qi training monks, but the actual combat power is far more than that. You should use the bottom-pressing method that you have hidden for so long, right? What a pity. , This war was fought by you as a war of wits, rather than head-to-head, I feel regretful when I think about it."
The "intelligence war" mentioned by King Qi is rooted in the fact that the Tiger Guards showed weakness from the beginning.
Use 100,000 people to fight 150,000 people to lure the Dashi army to give up the advantage of defense and take the initiative to attack; and when the two armies confront each other, only use conventional combat power, which is what the Tang army used before, and Dashi can know This method forced the Dashi Guards to attack Hulun City even though they suffered heavy losses.
Mullen felt that as long as his 50,000 fresh troops were put into the battlefield, they could decide the outcome.
But to Li Ye, although the fifty thousand strange soldiers did not appear, they are still a force on the surface, which must be taken into consideration when fighting. If you are not sure of defeating the opponent, then the wisest choice is not to fight.
From the moment he learned that the Dashi Guards appeared in the Seven Rivers Basin, Li Ye gave Zhao Polu and Chen Qinglin the combat order to show their weakness to the enemy according to the prior arrangement. He dared to fight because he was not afraid of the 50,000 fresh troops entering the battlefield.

These days, Tang Jun seems to be fighting bravely and trying his best, but it is just to make Ma Lun feel that victory is hopeful, so that he can put all his troops into it, instead of going back to the Great Food Kingdom to defend.
If the Dashi Guards return home to defend and have the advantage of fighting locally, it will undoubtedly take time and effort for the Tang army to attack city by city. The opponent is a little bit more serious. It will take several years at least for the Tang army to capture Dashi.
Several years of fighting, the burden is too great, the consumption of Datang's national strength is too much, and in the process, many unpredictable variables and risks will gradually appear, threatening the victory of the war.
What Li Ye wanted was to complete his meritorious service and fight Ma Lun to the death in the Seven Rivers Basin.
Let the opponent's guards be exhausted after a long battle, unable to retreat smoothly, and then at the right time, try to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
As long as Mu Lun has no guards, no matter how vast the Dashi territory is, Tang Jun will be allowed to gallop.
In the final analysis, based on the background of the Tang Dynasty and the development of cultivation over the years, the reason why there are only 300,000 qi-training monks is not that they cannot have more numbers, but that after weighing the pros and cons, Li Ye has to do something to allocate the best combat power. s Choice.
"The next battle is not as easy as you said. Although the Tiger Guards have the means to suppress the bottom of the box, the power of the New Moon Sect's true god is still not to be underestimated. Hulun City is far from Talas City Taiyuan. Within two days, the Wolf Fang Army They can’t support them either. And it won’t take two days to decide the outcome of this duel.”
Li Ye saw that the Dashi Guards had begun to jump up to the top of the city, fighting with the Tiger Guards, and turned his eyes to the wilderness in the northwest. There was a puff of yellow smoke at the end of the line of sight, and it was conceivable that Mullen's 50,000 new troops had arrived.
"Zhao Polu, get ready. Once Ma Lun's 50,000 soldiers enter the battlefield, we will use the method of suppressing the bottom of the box according to the prior arrangement." Li Ye gave Zhao Polu an order.
Zhao Polu led the way and left.
Just like the previous days, the battle became extremely fierce from the very beginning. The two armies fought for a long time inside and outside the city wall. The Dashi Guards quickly entered the city. Muffled sounds came out from time to time.
The ordinary heavy crossbow of the Spike Army can't break through the round shield shield of the Dashi Guards, but the bed crossbow, the magic weapon, can. Every time the bed crossbow formations erected at the main crossings and commanding heights roared, monks from the Dashi Guards would be pierced through their bodies, and where the formation was dense, some people would even be strung into gourds.
All of a sudden, above the city, the great monks of the two armies were going back and forth, catching each other and fighting each other. From time to time, some people vomited blood in the air, were severely injured and fell into the city.
It would be fine if it fell into one's own army formation, but once it fell into the enemy's army formation, they would be attacked by groups, and there was basically no possibility of rising into the air.
Finally, the 50,000 fresh troops of the Dashi Guards entered Hulun City from the north gate.
When they recharge their batteries for a long time, they are full of aura, complete in armor, in good condition, and have the highest fighting spirit. As soon as Wu came into contact with the soldiers of the Tiger Guards, he attacked the formation of the Tiger Guards like a fierce tiger on the mountain. Not long after, they rushed out of the breach one after another, broke into the ranks of the Tiger Guards, and rushed from left to right.
The soldiers of the Tiger Guards resisted with all their strength, but in the end they were beaten back steadily because their strength was far inferior to the opponent's.
Seeing that most of the defense area behind the northern city wall was about to be lost by the guards, at this moment, behind the Tiger Guards array, there was a burst of thunderous drums with a peculiar rhythm.
Hearing the drum and knowing the order, this is a necessary quality for soldiers. The soldiers of the Tiger Guards who fought against the fresh troops of the Guards immediately retreated while fighting under the orders of the generals, and gave way to large streets and alleys.
Just when this group of fresh troops thought that the Tiger Guards could not resist them and could only be forced to retreat to defend the next line of defense, a group of strange vans suddenly rushed out at the end of the almost empty street.
White cow.
In the battle, people are not as good as horses, and horses are not as good as chariots. The white bulls in the Tiger Guard Army are not just used to transport soldiers.
