    The charging Turkic cavalry were very fast, but without exception, they were all repelled by the Sui Army crossbowmen defending on the ice wall of the last ditch.

    Yan Xiaowu personally led more than 200 crossbowmen to step on the large barbarian bench and hit the invading Turks on the opposite side.  Even if the Turkic cavalry rushed to the trench, they could not rush through the trench and then up the slope.  The second trench is just behind the first slope. Even if someone uses the power of a BMW to rush through this nearly three-foot trench to the slope and is lucky enough not to slide down the slope, he will rush up the slope due to inertia and return to the slope.  He rushed out, fell into the second trench, and was stabbed like a hedgehog.

    Unlucky people kept falling directly into the first trench or sliding down the first slope into the trench. The Turkic cavalry in the trench were still alive, and they were wailing like ghosts one by one, and then died in despicable ways.  .  No war horses dared to charge towards the trench anymore.

    Batu quickly stopped the Turks' charge. With such a defiant defense, it was useless even if he sent all the cavalry up.  Either the trenches and slopes must be filled with soil, or they must be filled with human lives.

    But this requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

    Batu hurriedly reported to Dulan, and Dulan knew that the Sui army would not give him any more time to reorganize his army. Sui army reinforcements would also come one after another in the next time, so Dulan not only brought the soldiers he had brought before  All the cannon fodder slaves were handed over to Batu, and he then ordered the army to move towards Datong City.

    As for the handling of the aftermath of the camp, he has no control over it and can only leave it to other ministers.

    Although Du Lan still didn¡¯t change his pride and arrogance, he felt a drumbeat in his heart.  Now his food and grass can last for up to ten days, and this still includes the cattle, sheep and horses that died in large numbers in the night battle.  What's even more frightening is that the best thing to burn in a fire is fodder. They have had less than five days of fodder now, but the horses can't eat meat.  He must break through Datong City within five days, and now more than a day has passed.  Today and tomorrow can only be spent on marching and digging.

    In two days, Du Lan didn¡¯t know if he was sure of breaking open that weird bastard¡¯s shell in one fell swoop.

    Dulan is very preoccupied here, and Huang Mingyuan is also having a small meeting with a group of generals in Datong City.  Huang Mingyuan interpreted everything from the arrangement of the crossbowmen to the distance of the trench, from the timing of the attack to the configuration of the formation.  Everyone also said some shortcomings and ways to improve them.  After the whole meeting, it seemed that these people were the ones losing the battle.

    Huang Mingyuan has no choice. Except for a few talented generals, most of his subordinates are from humble backgrounds and have never systematically learned the art of war.  With their current ability, it would be difficult for them to lead three to five hundred people.  They have been guarding the border all year round and may have rich combat experience, but this does not necessarily translate into the ability to lead the army.  And in the future, the children of aristocratic families who have this ability may not necessarily defect to themselves, so they must cultivate talents from now on.

    It doesn¡¯t mean that people will fight if they fight too many wars.  During the Republic of China, the Chinese army fought for decades without stopping. Logically speaking, fighting the Japanese who rarely fought was just like playing for fun?  Put aside issues such as equipment and supplies.  But the final result was that countless troops were just playing around in front of the Japanese.  This is why the armies of many warlords are like a blind bear breaking a stick every time they fight. They do not draw any nourishment from it, so their combat effectiveness deteriorates more and more after decades of fighting.

    And our party has learned this lesson. Various post-war summaries, criticisms and self-criticisms and other systems have summarized countless effective fighting methods and trained countless famous generals.  Huang Mingyang does not seek to reach the heights of our party, but he still hopes that he will not lack useful middle- and lower-level generals in the future.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    The Turks were extremely busy in the camp.  If a heavy cavalry broke into the camp at this time, this battle probably wouldn't have been fought. Unfortunately, although the trenches dug by Huang Mingyuan became the natural moat of Datong City, he was also trapped alive by this bastard shell.  .  Therefore, Du Lan could dig and fill trenches and build utensils under Huang Mingyuan's nose with peace of mind, while Huang Mingyuan in Datong City could only stare at the Turks.

    It¡¯s five o¡¯clock in the morning on the fourth day, and it¡¯s still dark.

    Driven by a group of Turkic knights, thousands of slaves rushed toward the first trench with a bag of sand each.  The Sui army's sentries quickly discovered this situation and immediately notified the crossbowmen hidden in Wengcheng to take up their positions.  More than two hundred crossbowmen quickly ran behind the third slope and shot at the Turks on the opposite side through the crenels set up in advance.

    ? Continuously, Turkic slaves carrying sandbags were shot by crossbow arrows and died wailing on the ground.  When some slaves saw such a scene, they immediately dropped the sandbags and ran away. However, after running a few steps, they were ridden by the Turks who oversaw the work.Then he was chopped to death on the spot with a knife.

    These slaves were far more afraid of the Turks than they were of the Han crossbows. They had no choice but to rush to the ditch, throw sandbags into the trench amid the rain of arrows on the opposite side, and then turn around and run away.  It took the lives of hundreds of slaves for the Turks to fill in the first trench on the front.

    The sandbags and human corpses in the ditch were huddled together, and the blood condensed these sandbags into a different kind of concrete. The scene was horrific.

    ?Then comes the first slope.  The slope angle is forty-five degrees and one foot high.  The slope was polished so smooth by the Sui army that it was impossible for a person to stand on it.  Behind the slope is a trench more than a foot deep. People who rush up the slope will fall directly into the trench.

    The Turks first placed a layer of sandbags on the slope. The hard sandbags were as frozen as stones, and the horses could not charge on them.  The Turks turned the few pieces of wood into planks and spread them on the slope, so that their horses could barely move.

    And when the slave rushes up the slope of more than ten feet, the upper half of his body will be exposed to the shooting range of the crossbow.  The Sui army immediately fought back against the group.  The crossbows on the city also fired at the slope position that had been positioned earlier. Thousands of arrows flew together, sending out waves of blood mist among the slaves.

    Including the Turks, they have long been confused. As soon as they go up the slope, they are the fixed targets of the Sui people. The Sui people concentrated the originally large crossbow arrow coverage area to the crossbow arrow coverage line on the entire slope.  The entire crossbow arrows were concentrated like cannonballs in later generations, and no one could escape.

    A slave yelled "Ah" and threw down the sandbag and fled backwards. Suddenly, a Turkic overseer outside the shooting range came to stop him.  Seeing the Turks on the opposite side charging towards them on war horses, the slave did not dodge. He bumped into the Turks' horses and was ejected. The Turks could not hold the knife in their hands and was thrown away.  Knocked away, people also fell off their horses.

    Immediately, someone picked up the knife and stabbed the Turkic man in the stomach.

    More slave rebels ran to the rear, some were grabbing the weapons from the Turks, and others gathered a group of slaves to fight with the Turks.  Although a large number of slaves were killed by the Turkic elites armed with weapons, these slaves rushed back with their teeth, fists and a heart to survive.

    Du Lan was furious when he saw this scene from behind. Will these hateful slaves also resist the will of the great Turkic Khan?  Immediately ordered the Turkic army to kill all these humble slaves.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
