Chapter 620: Chapter 574: Who is Barbecuing on the Battlefield!?_2
Moreover, with their strength, it would have been incredibly easy for them to jump up.
Unfortunately, before they could jump up, they were crushed under the hooves and weight of the Turkic cavalry that surged from behind.
In addition, many areas were covered with sharpened wooden poles, the points facing upwards.
The pits, seven to eight zhang deep, quickly filled up by more than half.
At that moment, the Turkic cavalry charging into the pit finally realized that there was a trap ahead.
By this time, Wugu Li Khan, who commanded the battle from the rear, also realized that his plan to attack the Great Wall from the rear was doomed to fail.
Therefore, they could only charge head-on, at all costs, to break through the Great Wall.
Even if there was an abyss beneath that breach, they were determined to fill it with corpses.
"Charge!"
Bai Dushu saw a massive number of Turkic cavalry charging toward the breach as if their lives meant nothing.
In the massive pit, at least two thousand Turkic cavalry had already been buried, yet even so, the cavalry behind them started to charge forward madly.
Bai Dushu drew his Mo Blade and shouted to the surrounding soldiers, "Form the Mo Blade formation! Block the cavalry!"
Bai Dushu knew that the best method for infantry to fight cavalry was to form ranks with the Mo Blade, using the blade edge as a shield to press forward.
After all, the huge pit was almost filled with the corpses of the Tujue men and horses.
"Lingwu Army, slash!"
Following Bai Dushu’s order, all the infantrymen with Mo Blades suddenly slashed forward with their blades.
The charging cavalry was instantly shattered, both men and horses.
Then, all the soldiers raised their Mo Blades and stepped forward, continuing to follow Bai Dushu’s commands and slash forward in unison.
All the infantry followed Bai Dushu’s commands uniformly, their formation orderly and actions synchronized.
For a moment, the Turkic cavalry, seeing the Lingwu Army swinging their blades, couldn’t help but want to evade.
And it was these rhythmic slashes that instilled fear in the brave advancing Turkic cavalry.
As the cavalry in front retreated, those behind surged forward, and for a moment, the formation of the Turkic cavalry was in chaos.
Bai Dushu then led everyone to push the Turkic cavalry out of the breach step by step, blade by blade.
Afterwards, Bai Dushu and his men held their ground there.
Many of the surrounding soldiers couldn’t believe it—they were just over two thousand infantrymen, yet they had managed to stop the charge of the Turkic cavalry.
Of course, Bai Dushu knew this was not because of his brilliant command or because the over two thousand infantrymen were very powerful.
On one hand, as more than two thousand Turks had already died upfront, it was impossible for the following Turkic cavalry not to be afraid.
On the other hand, the power of the Calamity Position within him played a role, instilling immense fear and pressure in the Turkic cavalry, which then fled.
As the Turkic charge was repelled, Bai Dushu immediately had five hundred infantrymen hold the line there, then he gathered another five hundred archers to support from behind.
To hold this position with a thousand men.
Then, together with all his men, he began to move the bodies of the Tujue from the pit.
Seeing this scene, Changsun Bubai was somewhat puzzled and immediately brought people over to ask Bai Dushu, who was moving the bodies.
"Bai Dushu, what are you doing?"
When Bai Dushu saw Changsun Bubai approaching, he clasped his fists and saluted, "Military Envoy, I have just thought of a method that can effectively repel the Tujue."
Changsun Bubai was immediately pleased and asked, "What method?"
"In this pit, there are the bodies of over two thousand Tujue, most of whom are not yet dead. Finish them off with another slash, then stuff the bodies into large baskets—two per basket. After that, pour oil over the baskets and set them on fire, then launch them with a catapult!"
Changsun Bubai knew that while this object wouldn’t have the same impact as stones when it hit the Tujue side,
on one hand, there was a limited supply of stones, and some stones were still needed here at the Great Wall for repairs.
On the other hand, while the method of throwing corpses in battle may seem offensive to heaven, it indeed had an impact on the morale of the Tujue.
Most importantly, it could clear a part of the pit, so if the Turkic Cavalry charged again, they could trap them once more!
Thus, Changsun Bubai ordered Changsun Wugen to assist Bai Dushu with the task.
Changsun Wugen glanced at Bai Dushu, who usually appeared like a scholar, and for the first time realized that the Demon Clan was indeed different from the human race; this method, feared that in the entire Lingwu Army, only Bai Dushu could think of it.
However, immediately after, Changsun Wugen suddenly realized that if Zhang San were here, he might have thought of it too.
For a moment, Changsun Wugen was unsure whether this method was more offensive to heaven or more about making the best use of everything.
As fireballs rained down from the skies, landing among the Tujue troops assaulting the city.
Some powerful warriors from the Tujue, at the Spiritual Platform Realm, leapt up to smash the enormous fireballs with a punch, aiming to boost morale.
However, after one punch, as the sky exploded with flames, countless pieces of shattered corpses fell upon the bodies and faces of the surrounding Tujue.
Suddenly, the Tujue’s morale plummeted, coupled with their prolonged unsuccessful assault, their offensive began to slow.
Meanwhile, Wugu Li, the Khan commanding from behind, had initially aimed for a decisive blow to annihilate the Great Sui forces stationed at the Great Wall and return to claim his achievements to Sharlobi, the Great Khan.
But he had not anticipated this heavy loss.
It seemed that he had no choice but to deploy his elite troops!
"Buxiang Mazi! Lead your warriors now! Charge! Break through the shattered walls and let them witness just how sharp the blades of my Tujue warriors are!"
The youth called Buxiang Mazi was one of the strongest among the young generation of the Tujue, rumored to possess strength not inferior to Kucha Shahhan.
However, because he was not a confidant of Sharlobi, the Great Khan, he wasn’t much valued.
Latterly, after Wugu Li became the Khan, Buxiang Mazi came to support him.
Wugu Li was delighted to have such a fierce warrior in his ranks, so he handed over his most elite troops for Buxiang Mazi to train.
This unit, although not long associated with Buxiang Mazi, was trained to be exceptionally ferocious.
At that moment, Buxiang Mazi led his Turkic Cavalry charging towards the previously breached spot.
He knew that since that area was breached, it was destined to be the greatest weakness of the Great Sui Army.
Using his strengths to attack the enemy’s weaknesses was what Buxiang Mazi excelled in.
"All troops, charge! Spare no cost to break through the Great Sui infantry’s formation!"
Leading the way, Buxiang Mazi galloped across the battlefield, scattered with sparks.
From atop the city walls, several units began to avoid the oncoming, exceptionally fast cavalry charging towards the breach.
Bai Dushu realized that the Tujue were targeting this breach again.
Bai Dushu immediately commanded, "Everyone get ready, at my command, you will retreat to the left and right sides immediately."
"Those at the back, pour oil into this pit for me!"
Though the soldiers did not know what Bai Dushu’s plan was, having fought alongside Bai Dushu, they found the young commander’s abilities admirable, thus they promptly executed his orders.
The moment Buxiang Mazi led his men in a charge, the Great Sui infantry immediately retreated to both sides.
Seeing the Great Sui soldiers suddenly withdraw, Buxiang Mazi felt an extremely ominous sensation.
Normally, the enemy would staunchly defend this point, so why would they suddenly withdraw?
But by then, it was too late to stop. Even if he halted, the charging cavalry behind him would push forward.
Solving to lead everyone to charge straight ahead, even if there was a trap, his formidable strength would easily crush it!
Thus, Buxiang Mazi, followed by thousands of Wugu Li’s most elite cavalry, charged into the massive pit.
And the moment they plunged into the pit, countless arrows and rockets flew towards them.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky.
Thousands of elite Tujue soldiers became top-grade fodder.
