Not only the Longchuan Tusi was surprised, but also the people on the Adu Tusi side, they did not react. If it were not for Qin Huaiyu's loud roar, Adu Tusi almost lost this opportunity. Taking advantage of the gap created by Qin Huaiyu and his men, Adu Tusi led his 3,000 elite men to rush in.
This should be the closest to victory since the start of the battle. If they don't take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward, they will probably be further away from victory in the future. So Tusi Adu did not hesitate at all, and even Qin Huaiyu and others rushed forward. If he still had any hesitation, it would be tantamount to using Qin Huaiyu and others as cannon fodder. When Li Xiang knew about it, not only was there no way for him to survive on the mountain, but his way to survive at the foot of the mountain was also blocked.
The Longchuan Tusi had no response plan yet. When he saw Tusi Adu pushing forward his last strength, he immediately realized that something was wrong. The enemy in front of him was too powerful. If they fought head-on, they would definitely not benefit, and he did not have much force to mobilize.
But if they did nothing, it would be of no benefit to them. Now he could only fight hard. The Longchuan chieftain held the steel knife in his hand and led the rest of the people to rush forward, while ordering all the young and strong men in the rear to guard the stronghold.
When the forces of both sides were about to collide, Tusi Adu made a decision. He did not let his men rush towards Tusi Longchuan, but instead ordered his men to attack the stronghold again.
"This son of a bitch."
Qin Huaiyu cursed loudly, but he also knew that Tusi Adu's current choice was correct. He immediately raised his right hand and drew a circle in the sky. Everyone knew what this meant, which was to immediately shrink the defense.
More than 500 Tang Dynasty soldiers saw this gesture. They immediately abandoned the enemy in front of them and quickly formed a circular defense line around Qin Huaiyu. As for the chieftain army outside this circular defense line, it was not within their consideration. Your killing has nothing to do with us. It is because your chieftain abandoned you.
The army of Tusi Adu and the Tang army had been protecting each other, but now that they had lost the protection of the Tang army, they were instantly exposed to the army of Tusi Longchuan. The two Tusi armies were now enemies, and as the saying goes, enemies become jealous of each other when they meet, so there was bloodshed between the two sides.
As for Qin Huaiyu, he breathed a sigh of relief after they had completed the formation of the circular defense. They had practiced many times on the training ground. Although there were only about 500 people, with the help of shields and crossbows, if someone wanted to kill them, they probably wouldn't have the ability to do so. They had tested it before and found that even an army ten times larger than ours could not break through this circular defense line.
At first, many of the Longchuan Tusi's troops wanted to try their luck. If they could completely wipe out the Tang army, they would become heroes in the mountains, and even their reputations would be passed down. But what was the result of their clash? Apart from leaving behind thousands of corpses, they did not achieve any results.
Since the stones here are relatively hard, even if he breaks his teeth, he will not be able to gain any military merit here, so he can only fight hard against the men under Tusi Adu. The two sides started fighting next to the Tang army. Qin Huaiyu didn't even look at them, as if nothing happened. What we have to do now is to preserve our strength.
As for Tusi Adu, his strategy was indeed correct. There were not many regular troops in the entire stronghold except for some young and strong men. All the regular troops were fighting in front of the stronghold, so Tusi Adu easily broke into the stronghold.
"Burn the flag for me."
Tusi Adu knew very well that the big flag fluttering in the wind was the symbol of the entire stronghold. If this big flag was burned, many people around would definitely fall into panic, which would mean that Tusi Longchuan had failed. Even if the fighting army had great confidence, they would become very depressed when they saw their royal flag being burned, and would definitely make many mistakes in the next battle.
As expected, it was almost as he predicted. He found a dozen people to beat drums and gongs around the big flag in order to attract other people's attention. When everyone turned around, they found that their big flag was burning, and Tusi Adu was standing next to it. Although they had not occupied the entire stronghold yet, they created an illusion for everyone that the stronghold had been occupied by them.
"Return to defense immediately..."
Tusi Longchuan made a wrong decision at this time. If he had led his men to dodge the Tang army and then attacked Tusi Adu's camp, he would not have failed. But now he ordered his army to go back, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of and exposed his back to the enemy, which was a big disadvantage.
"Push down these rocks and logs, and let them feel the power of their own weapons."
Tusi Adu was definitely a ruthless man. When he saw Tusi Longchuan's men coming back, he ordered his men to push down the mountain of stones. You have to know that he had his own army at the foot of the mountain. Doing so might kill his own army as well, although only a small part of them, but it was still a shortcoming.
However, his men could not care so much now. There were only a few thousand of them who broke into the stronghold, and there were still many young and strong men in the stronghold. Although they were frightened now, if they cooperated with the army outside the camp gate, Tusi Adu would not be able to defend this place. So his men directly pushed all the stones down, and Tusi Longchuan's men suffered heavy casualties.
"Your mother is really a ruthless person. If such a person joins the Tang Dynasty, we must find more people to watch him, otherwise he may attack our own people at any time. Write down all these things and report them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when we return."
Qin Huaiyu and the others happily watched the battle in the distance. The circular defensive position was not large, but it was impossible for those outside to break in. Now they just stayed where they were and watched the battle as if this war had nothing to do with them. They had no intention of providing support at all...
