"Prime Minister, let's change to my wife's army." Li Xiuning looked at the soldiers who were almost lying on the city. Li Chao shook his head, "It's not time yet, the Turks have really made up their minds this time. The wife's army is a reserve team, and they have to be used at the most critical moment."

"Prime Minister, but my brothers are so tired. Why don't you send out the war to summon ambush?" Su Dingfang also felt that the situation was a bit critical. Faced with the desperate attack of 90,000 Turks, even if there is a strong pass to rely on, it is still as dangerous as a thirsty person.

"It's too early now, at least I have to hold on until dark."

It’s not that Li Chao is cruel, but that although it is more dangerous at the moment, it is too wasteful to launch an ambush too early. Once the ambush comes out, the Turks will inevitably retreat and break out of the valley. If the Turks are still energetic, it will not be easy to stop them.

If there is no city to rely on, if you fight with them in the valley, the casualties will definitely be higher.

What Li Chao needs to consider is the overall situation.

"Hold on for a while, and it's fine until dark."

With the sound of whimpering horns, the Turks rushed up again after a brief adjustment, and this time it became even more violent.

Tuli looked at the city with a sinister expression, full of determination.

"Before dark, you must take Guancheng."

Liu Rengui had already cut three times, but in the end he simply took Mo Dao out, holding the knife in both hands, the long blade flashed with white light, and with one knife, a Turkic man always fell down.

But more and more Turkic people still jumped onto the city wall.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Liu Rengui took a step back and shouted loudly, "Take the grenade!"

Take out a grenade from the grenade bag around your waist, open the lid, ignite it, and throw it out.

Seeing the Tang army retreating, the Turks were excited. They quickly occupied the squadron and responded to more people to the city. At this moment, suddenly, smoke-like lumps rolled under their feet.

Some people reacted quickly and immediately thought of the same loud noise that was emitting smoke and making thunderous sounds.

My face changed drastically, but before I could run away, the grenade had already exploded.

Explosions were heard one after another on the top of the city. Although the power of the grenade was far less powerful than that of me, who had a 20-pound pound weight, it was quite scary to explode under my feet. Especially for many Turkic people who had already changed their color.

Many people panicked, and some even jumped directly under the city in panic.

Smoke was everywhere.

Liu Rengui breathed two sighs, picked up the Mo Dao, shouted, "Kill!" He waved the knife and killed him again. A group of soldiers from the palace formed a battle squad, relying on each other, and soon cleaned up the panicked Turks again.

But before there was enough time, Turkic people climbed the ladder and jumped up.

Li Chao sat on the city gate tower, with a sharp sword covered with sheaths on his knees. He held a thousand-mile mirror in his hand, staring at every corner of the battlefield at all times.

The battle was extremely fierce, and people fell everywhere, real blood flowed into a river and corpses piled up like mountains.

He looked up at the sky, it was still early.

Time seems to be slower and slower and stagnant.

The defenders were getting tired from the gate, but under the gate, the Turks still had countless square formations waiting there, and those were still new forces.

Whenever a group of Turkic people fails to attack and are unable to follow up, the Turkic people will send another new force. Li Chao has no choice but to play this kind of rogue and scoundrel. Who said that the Turkic people are numerous and powerful?

However, Li Chao really likes this kind of fighting style. They attack like this, and they use their lives to pile up. Although it seems that they can be captured immediately, the Tang army has been holding on like this from morning to now, and the Turkic people were several times more casualties than the Tang army.

Li Chao judged that until now, the Turks suffered at least more than 5,000 casualties.

"Send a signal of beacon to let Shan Xiongxin and Yuchi Gong block the North Entrance and build defensive fortifications." Li Chao finally had to let Shan Xiongxin and the others go out in advance. It was not dark yet, and letting the two armies go out at this time is very likely to make Tuli discover and retreat early, but Li Chao did not dare to wait any longer.

Su Lie nodded, "Do you ask General Luo Shixin and others to attack?"

After pondering for a while, Li Chao shook his head.

"Let them wait a little longer and give Shan Xiongxin and the others more time. Now that there is an ambush, Tuli may run away. I am worried that Shan Xiongxin and the others can't stop him. Give them some time to build a defense, so we have a better chance to trap Tuli's people in this valley."

There were lit wolf smokes in the beacon castle on Loufan Pass and Huagai Mountain. This was a signal to Shan Xiongxin and the others at the north entrance. The wolf smoke was sent more reliable and fast. Several beacon towers lit wolf smokes one after another to transmit the signal.

Near the north entrance.

The wolf smoke rose, and Shan Xiongxin finally jumped up when he saw the long-awaited signal.

"Damn it, finally the signal is coming. The whole army boarded and returned to the north entrance!"

After seeing the signal, Yuchi Gong immediately led 10,000 people from the headquarters to quickly return to the north entrance.

Luo Shixin bit a grass stick and was excited when he saw the signal, but when his subordinates said that this was just a signal to Shan Xiongxin and Yuchi Gong, he was so angry that he was so angry that he didn't let us go. "Why are we so impatient to wait."

"The Prime Minister has sent us a signal, let's wait a little longer and attack after dark!"

"We have to wait until dark? Isn't it the same to go out now?"

"This is the prime minister's order."

Luo Shixin was helpless, "Okay, then wait until it gets dark, and when it gets dark, we will attack. Now, prepare me for battle."

Smokes of wolf were rising on Huagai Mountain, and I also saw the sudden light at the gate.

"Hmph, I'm just sending out a war of smoke to ask for help at this time. Don't you think it's too late? Li Jing is still in Mayi, Li Ji is still in Youzhou, and Li Chao is even far away in Shuofang. When they come to help, I have already slaughtered Lou Fanguan several times and even entered Taiyuan City. Hahaha, send an order to step up the attack!"

dusk.

There were Turkic people everywhere on Loufan Pass. From a distance, it seemed that the Turkic people had already flooded the city walls of Loufan Pass.

"Sanniang, let your wife's army come on!"

It was already the most critical time in the city. Seeing that the time was almost over, Li Chao stopped hiding anything.

"Telection, stone throwing cart, lightning throwing cart, crossbow cart attack with all its strength and beat me hard."

Su Lie and Li Xiuning both went to the front line to command.

Li Chao also stood up, put down his telescope and sword, and walked to the big drum on the city tower. He took the drumstick from the drumming soldiers and started to hit the drumstick with a strong hammer.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!

The war drums rang.

The Tang army's counterattack also became fierce and the lightning-throwing vehicle that had only launched two wheels in the whole day started again.

North entrance.

Yuchi Gong and Shan Xiongxin led their troops to arrive almost at the same time. There were a thousand Turkic soldiers stationed in Beikou Fort. When they saw the Tang army suddenly coming from the north, they thought it was Li Jing who led their troops.

"Hurry, report to Khan, Li Jing is here."

"So many people, at least 20,000."

"That is that Li Jing brought the Tang army from Mayi and Yanmen to come together."

Yuchi Gong listened to the rapid sound of horns on the North Fort and curled his lips disdainfully. The North Fort was originally small, and they still left something under the fort.

"kill!"

In less than half an hour, a huge muffled thunder suddenly sounded from North Fort, and smoke rose, and a huge gap appeared on the wall of North Fort.

The Tang army laid many coffins under the city wall in advance, and the power of the explosion directly opened the North Fort Wall.

Without the support of the city walls, a thousand Turkic defenders were soon submerged under the iron hooves of the 20,000 Tang troops.

After smashing the blood on the horse's lance, Yuchi Gong ordered: "Sweep the battlefield and build fortifications here immediately. A Turkic man would not want to run away from us!"
