It was already noon the next day when Hou Junji caught up, and because most of the soldiers had gone after the Western Turks, the makeshift camp had not had time to be cleared.
A few old killers looked at the bloody and fleshy corpses in the place, and they were almost going crazy.
Everyone wondered what had happened here last night and why there had been such a tragic battle.
Because Li Dejian was not a combatant, he stayed behind and faced a few old guys alone.
"What happened last night, how many people did our army lose" Hou Junji raised the question in his heart as soon as he saw Li Dejian.
"General Hou, the enemy stole the camp last night, but fortunately, we were prepared for a long time, and we ambushed them, breaking a hundred and ten brothers."
After all, Li Dejian is only a young eunuch who will be a prisoner, although there is an old man who is a military god, but he has no experience of facing the battlefield alone, and when he said these words, his face was still a little blue.
"The enemy army stole the camp and only lost about 100 people, so what's going on on this battlefield, don't tell Lao Tzu that this is all the enemy's corpses."
The two Xue Wanche brothers frowned and said threateningly on the side.
But Li Muyun nodded: "Yes, these are the corpses of the enemy, and our lost manpower has been reduced." ” "Then how did you fight last night's battle, and why was it so bloody on the battlefield?"
Lao Hou asked, pointing to the battlefield.
Li Dejian looked back at the battlefield and said with a wry smile: "Last night, there was not much fighting, we just planted 10,000 mines in the camp, and then waited for the enemy to attack and then ignited it, and it was like this after dozens of breaths." ” "I didn't shoot 10,000 mines," Hou Junji couldn't help but think of the last test in the valley.
Seeing that Hou Junji didn't seem to have any intention of getting angry, Li Dejian relaxed a little, nodded and said, "Yes, I knew that this thing was so powerful, it was enough to bury five thousand." ” Several old guys looked at each other, this was the first time they had seen the consequences of the application of thermal weapons to actual combat, and it was false to say that they were not frightened.
However, this is too miserable, even if you kill harder in a battle in the past, it would be good to kill one-third of the people killed in the battle, but now looking at it, it seems that none of the people who entered the camp have escaped, all of them are dead, and there is not even a prisoner of war who can breathe.
Could it be that gunpowder is really so powerful, and if so, doesn't it mean that you should bring more gunpowder when you come out in the future?
Thinking of this, Hou Junji put on a kind face: "Dejian, how much gunpowder do you have now?"
Li Dejian shook his head: "It's gone, it's all used up once." ” "I've used you up, you loser, how did you run out" "That's it, such a useful thing, I will use it up at one time, and I won't say that I will leave some for Lao Tzu."
As soon as I heard Li Dejian say that the gunpowder was running out, the old guys were all blown up, and they kept counting around him.
If it weren't for Li Muyun completing the pursuit mission and rushing back with people, it is estimated that he would have to be eaten by the old guys.
"Boy, what's the matter with you, didn't you let you go to relieve the siege of Liangzhou, why did you do it with the Gaochang people here" Hou Junji asked when he saw Li Muyun, his nose was not a nose and his face was not a face.
"It's the Western Turks, not the Gaochang people."
Li Muyun jumped down from his horse, patted the ashes on his body and said: "And the chief manager, the siege of Liangzhou has been lifted, Ju Wentai has retreated thirty miles, and it seems that he is planning to withdraw." ” "Withdraw, how can it be so easy" Hou Junji pursed his lips and glanced at the Western Turkic general who had just been pulled off his horse behind Li Muyun: "What's the matter with that kid, he was just caught" Li Muyun glanced back: "Well, I just caught it, and I was about to send it back, but you arrived." ” Hou Junji nodded, motioned for his men to go over and take the people away, and then asked, "What are the casualties of the troops?"
"There weren't many casualties, but there were about 500 people at full strength."
Li Muyun replied.
After chasing for half the night last night, and tossing for another morning today, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang have already finished contacting the Liangzhou Army, and the battle losses have basically been counted.
Hou Junji patted Li Muyun on the shoulder and said, "Well, it's rare that your kid actually exchanged such a small loss for such a big result, it seems that our military can be regarded as a successor." ” Li Muyun was almost slapped to tears, and said with a little green face: "It's all the chief manager's command, I'm just a small person, just take advantage of your old tiger power." ” In good conscience, Li Muyun's biggest dream is to be his own prince of peace quietly, and whoever likes to do those things that fight and kill, it is best not to have anything to do with him.
But Hou Junji obviously didn't think so, patted him on the shoulder, gave him a look I am optimistic about you, and escorted the prisoner he had just caught away.
Thirty miles west of Liangzhou.
Ju Wentai fidgeted and walked around in the newly erected tent, muttering: "The Tang army is here, the Tang army is here, how is this good, how is this good." ” Several of the subordinates of the Western Turk generals were also sitting in the tent, watching Ju Wentai turn around, all with a look of hesitation, and one of them took the initiative to speak: "Lord Gaochang, now this situation still requires you to come up with an idea, whether it is war or peace, and whether you can rescue my general." ” "What can this king do, I said at the beginning that the Tang Dynasty could not be provoked, but your general just didn't believe it, so he had to toss some encirclement points to help, and now it's okay, your general was captured by the Tang army, and our Gaochang also has to face the Tang Dynasty."
"Lord Gaochang, you can't say that, it's not for nothing to attack Liangzhou, didn't you also shout about entering the city as soon as possible the day before yesterday."
Another Western Turk stood up and said with some dissatisfaction.
"I" Ju Wentai's old face turned red, and he wanted to say anything but couldn't say a word.
"Forget it, now is not the time for accountability, let's think about how to rescue the general, otherwise our side will be leaderless, and if the Tang army attacks, I'm afraid we will all stay."
"What are you afraid of, we still have an army of 100,000.
It's a big deal to rush over and fight with Tang Jun. ” "What are you fighting, didn't you listen to the people who fled back, the Tang army has thunder and fire to help, and in just a moment, 20,000 elite cavalry have turned into a piece of minced meat, although we have 100,000 people at the moment, but if the Tang army takes out that kind of weapon again, do you think we can support it for a few moments."
"But" "There's nothing, Datang's weapons are too terrible, we can't fight hard, in my opinion, it's better for us to withdraw our troops and go back to the Western Regions directly, and act when the opportunity arises
