The power of black powder is much worse than that of real explosives in terms of explosive power and staying power, and when Li Muyun got this brand, it was completely improvised, and there was not much remaining gunpowder on hand.
In addition, Dadu was riding on a horse, and most of the impact of the explosion was borne by the war horse, and in the end, he was just swept away by the shock wave, fell to the ground and broke a leg, and the person was also stunned.
But this is enough, after such a thing, Dadu set completely lost the will to attack, although the hatred in his heart has not diminished, but the courage has been frightened.
This battle was the first time that gunpowder was applied to the battle, and everyone didn't know what was going on, and the Xue Yantuo soldiers at the bottom were already discussing whether Changshengtian didn't want them to attack the Tang Dynasty, so they used this way to warn and punish them.
Rumors spread throughout the camp like a plague, at first it was just that some people said that this attack was against the will of the gods, and two days later began to derive other versions, some people said that Dadu set up a father to kill his father and was punished by God, and some people said that Dadu set up many injustices and was punished by the gods, and the targets of various rumors slowly all pointed to Dadu.
And Dadu set up at this time can no longer take care of these, under the successive blows, this Xue Yantuo new Khan who often uses lying down to try his courage to encourage himself completely fell ill, with a high fever and confusion The two brothers, Tizhen Dawen and Tizhen Dawu, can be regarded as his cronies, but they also lost their claims when the rumors were full of rumors.
It is obviously impossible to continue the attack, one or two of the soldiers below have long lost their fighting spirit, even if they are forced to walk to the reverse state, it is estimated that a few thousand Tang troops can beat them to the ground.
But waiting here is not a long-term solution, looking at this ambush, the Tang army has obviously been prepared, and the time has dragged on for a long time, as soon as the Tang army's reinforcements arrive, it will still end up being annihilated.
After thinking about it, it seems that the only way to do this is to go back and think about it in the long run, and wait until the injury set by Dadu is healed, or forget it or don't think about it so much.
Su Lie and the others won a complete victory in this ambush, and the spies who stayed behind didn't take much time to catch up, and reported to Lao Su and others the news that they were generous and righteous and angry, and the life and death of the bombing were unknown, and for a while, everyone in the team was in high spirits, and Li Muyun hummed a minor tune that no one could understand.
Su Lie and the others calmed down a little from the excitement before slowly saying: "This success is completely a fluke, if it weren't for the terrain, coupled with the generosity of the merit, it is estimated that it would not have succeeded at all." ” "No" responded in unison to everyone who participated in the ambush.
"So we still have to rush back to Shuozhou as soon as possible, although the Xue Yantuo people are likely to withdraw after this lesson, but before we get accurate information, we still have to do a good job of defense."
"Don't worry, general," replied the quartet in a loud voice, apparently not recovering from the excitement.
Usually at home, I always listen to my old man boast about what kind of battles they have fought, and this time they finally really went to the battlefield once, although there was no short-handed combat, but it was always considered to have something to talk about later.
However, Li Muyun was worried and sullen along the way, which aroused Su Lie's curiosity, and after sending everyone back to his barracks, he rode a horse to his side and asked, "What's the matter, if you have something on your mind, you are still not satisfied with the results of the battle."
"I'm afraid we're in trouble, I guess I'm going back this time and I, the Duke of Xiaoyao, will be pushed to the end again," Li Muyun sighed and said.
"How can you see it," Su Lie asked with a frown.
"A few days ago, the people who came from Shuozhou to deliver things brought news, Your Majesty is fortunate to be in Taiyuan Mansion, but because there is about to be a war, I haven't said it."
Su Lie was so frightened by the news that Li Muyun said that he almost fell off his horse: "What, you are too bold, you, have you sent someone back to inform Xue Yantuo of the news that the people are coming?"
Li Muyun spread his hands: "What do I say, didn't you say it, Xue Yantuo people may also scare us, maybe they just go to the Shuozhou border and leave, if I send someone to inform Your Majesty at this time, if Xue Yantuo people don't come at that time, wouldn't it be a bully." ” "Then, then tell me too, you, you are really going to kill the big guy this time" Su Lie was almost crooked by Li Muyun's nose, he was so tight-mouthed about such a big thing, and he didn't say it until now.
Li Muyun was a little inexplicable by Su Lie: "What killed According to Your Majesty's speed, it is estimated that even Gyeonggi has not come out at this time, what is there to be afraid of?"
Su Lie looked at Li Muyun who was panting a little speechlessly, and suddenly found that this kid thief was not very popular, and it seemed to be a good idea to let the emperor push him to the end.
In this way, everyone returned to Shuozhou after a four-month absence, and on the one hand, they sent people out to inquire about the news of the Xue Yantuo people, and on the other hand, they urgently sent messengers to inform all parties of the news that the Xue Yantuo people had committed crimes.
After all, he had already fought a battle outside, and at this time, it was no longer a lie to talk about Xue Yantuo's coming.
Shuozhou had already received the news sent back by Li Muyun and Su Lie a few days ago, and had already made preparations, and a large number of materials for defending the city began to be sent to the first Chengguan, with large stones and thick tree trunks, almost filling the entire cement official road leading to Chengguan.
Li Muyun was very surprised by this situation, in the early years, he experienced Turkic invasions, not to mention 100,000 Turks, even if it was 20,000, the people of Shuozhou would roll up all their belongings and flee.
But now, knowing that there are 100,000 Xue Yantuo people who are killing violently under the banner of slaughtering the city, no one escapes, is it because Xue Yantuo people are easier to bully However, when he said this idea, Sun Liang, who was in charge of the delivery of materials, immediately retorted: "Lord Envoy, you only know one thing and don't know the other, we fled because we were poor, and there was no belongings at home."
But now you look at it, even the poorest people have a pig and a dozen chickens and ducks at home, and these things can't be taken away, so if you don't want to give them up, you can only work hard."
Fang Yizhi sat on the side and nodded in agreement, and added by the way: "Yes, the businessmen in Shuozhou are the same, they finally find business opportunities, it is the time to make a lot of money, and it will be a waste to withdraw the previous investment at this time, and they also want to keep their money and their own investment." ” "It's like this" Li Muyun touched his nose in embarrassment, and said: "I thought I was more appealing, and I dared to love these bastards for their own money":
