Chapter 202 The dead breeders and dogs are not left

"Wake up! He's awake! Thankfully, he finally woke up! The medical officer was relieved and secretly relieved, Cheng Zhijie woke up, and his life was saved.

When Cheng Zhijie was carried back by Qin Qiong, the blood on Cheng Zhijie's body was about to run out, and the armor on his body was strong, the armor was not penetrated, and most of the injuries on Cheng Zhijie's body were skin injuries.

You must know that if you peel off the armor on Cheng Zhijie's body, there are as many as seventy-three large and small wounds on his body, and ordinary people have been injured so badly that they can't hold it anymore. And Cheng Zhijie only lay down for three days before slowly opening his eyes.

"Lone just said, General Cheng is the lone king of Fu!" Li Shimin patted Hou Junji's shoulder vigorously.

Cheng Zhijie opened his eyes, saw Qin Qiong's first sentence clearly, and said directly: "How are your troops?" Are there many casualties? ”

Qin Qiong's expression darkened: "There are heavy casualties, more than 2,000 people have died in battle, and there is no way to snatch them back from the corpses." ”

Cheng Zhijie shuddered, and screamed in his heart: "Then I'...... What about my troops? Are there many casualties? ”

Qin Qiong said: "Your personal guard...... Killed, not counting those civilians and auxiliaries, there were more than 1,500 casualties among the soldiers alone. ”

Cheng Zhijie's mouth grinned to the root of his ears, almost stuffed into a goose egg, and he said in disbelief: "How ...... How much? ”

Qin Qiong didn't dare to look directly into Cheng Zhijie's eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "1,568 people were killed, and less than 50 people were left who returned to the camp!"

Li Shimin said: "General Cheng don't worry, the troops are gone, the Lone King will replenish you, and replenish the ...... immediately" Li Shimin turned around and said to Changsun Shunde: "General Changsun, transfer your troops to General Cheng with 5,000 elites, and then transfer 5,000 elites to General Qin......"

Cheng Zhijie was dumbfounded, his ears are now deaf, he can't hear any sound at all, he struggled to get up, but unfortunately his hands and feet were sore, and it was said that the army in the feudal era would collapse if it was one-tenth of a casualty, but there were exceptions, that is, the sheep under the tiger's command, under the stimulation of the tiger, would also become a wolf.

Cheng Zhijie stared at the sky with round eyes, and roared, "You bastards, can't you cherish your life?" Do you know that your lives are expensive? Lao Tzu told you that I want to take you to Chang'an to live a good life, let's drink together, go to Chang'an together, let's go to Chang'an girls, you are good, you don't want to die if you fight, is it because you want to make your words untrustworthy. ”

Although the defeat of this battle did not hurt the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army, the atmosphere of the defeat permeated the entire battalion, and Li Shimin looked at the dejected generals and said, "What are you doing here?" Wang Shichong exhausted his elite and tried to swallow my 50,000 army in one gulp, and his offensive would definitely be extremely fierce. This battle is about the life and death of the 50,000 army, you must strictly guard against it, and you must not take half a step back, otherwise you will blame the king's sword and take your head! ”

The generals said in unison: "Strictly guard against death, and do not retreat!" ”

In the face of the life and death of the Tang army generals, once again burst out of tenacious perseverance, under the command of the generals, began to frantically build the barracks, they cut down trees, cut the thick wooden stakes of the bowl, cut into more than one foot and two feet, and then buried in the ground, forming a wooden wall with a height of people, with the wooden stakes as the bones, piled up soil on both sides of the wooden wall, and then tamped, a wide earthen wall of more than four feet, around the Tang army camp quickly formed.

For every fifty paces of this earthen wall, an arrow tower was erected. This type of turret resembles an enemy tower on a city wall, on which crossbowmen are placed to form a rain of crossbows to block enemy attacks. Then a large number of horses began to be erected within fifty paces outside the camp, and after the horses were there a ditch, and after the ditch began to be arranged a large number of trebuchets.

Wang Shichong, Wang Shiyun, Duan Da and others came to look at the Tang Army's camp, Wang Shichong sighed: "This Li Shimin still has some ability, the big camp under the cloth is often strong, and if you want to gnaw it down, it really takes a lot of trouble." However, with such a turtle formation, he still can't escape the fate of being beaten after all! ”

Duan Da smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so troublesome, my Da Zheng's great military might has already made the Tang army frightened, now you should step forward to understand the reason, move it with affection, and you will be able to move Li Shimin to lead the troops to surrender and avoid this bloody battle!" ”

Although Wang Shichong feels that Li Shimin may not surrender, it is not a bad thing to have to persuade him to surrender, although the hope of success is very slim, but even if he fails, there is no loss, and if he succeeds, he will make a lot of money.

Wang Shichong turned his head, looked at the generals behind him and said, "Which Aiqing is willing to go to the Tang camp to persuade him to surrender?" ”

At this moment, Wang Yaohan came out and said: "The minister is willing to die for His Majesty!" ”

Wang Yaohan was Wang Shichong's governor of Bianzhou, and when Li Shimin was defeated in Luoyang, he and Zhang Gongjin, Tian Zan and others collectively rebelled, and then returned to Wang Shichong. However, he was extremely tragic, just when Wang Yaohan had not fled back to Bianzhou, Dou Jiande's army had already occupied Bianzhou, and there were no soldiers, no generals, and no territory, so Wang Yaohan became the commander of the "three nos".

Wang Shichong didn't want to see him, and now he had to fight hard to rely on the relationship with Li Shimin at the beginning, and decided to fight for wealth, after all, Wang Yaohan thought that the two countries would fight each other, and if they didn't kill them, he would have nothing to lose even if he failed to persuade him to surrender.

Wang Yaohan was dressed in good clothes, galloped out of the army formation, and ran towards the Tang army Wang camp, which was still an arrow away from the Tang army camp outside the horse rejection, and he shouted loudly while running: "I am the envoy of Dazheng Wang Yaohan, and Tang Shuai Li Shimin is an old friend, please Li Shimin come out for a talk!" ”

There was no movement on the side of the Tang army. Wang Yaohan boldly continued to run forward, and his voice became louder and louder: "I am Wang Yaohan, the envoy of Dazheng, and I am an old friend of Tang Shuai Li Shimin, please Li Shimin come out to talk about it......"

This time, there was movement in the camp of the Tang Army, and a lieutenant gave an order, dozens of archers raised their bows and fired a volley, and the meritorious Wang Yaohan was shot into a hedgehog and planted from his horse before he had time to hum.

Li Shimin also used this way to tell Wang Shichong, and his attitude couldn't be clearer: You just let the horses come, let's wait, don't use these lackeys to disgust people!

Seeing that the unlucky Wang Yaohan was shot to the ground with his horse and his body, Zheng Jun didn't react, in their opinion, the death of Wang Yaohan was similar to a dead dog.

The permanence of Wang Yaohan, Wang Shichong has never regarded him as a human being.

Wang Shichong only left four cold words: "Collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”

……

After the snow melts from Helan, it flows along the creek to the alluvial plain in front of the mountain. The water that flows down from the top of the hill moistens the earth, and the grass begins to grow wildly, which is the best time of the year.

However, there are not many herdsmen in the Helan grassland at this moment, and there are no cattle and sheep grazing here. In the past year or two, with the rise of the Tang Dynasty, especially after Chen Ying defeated the Turks in Lingzhou, the slightly larger Turkic tribes were unwilling to live here.

However, there are those who believe in this evil.

The 偰 (xiè) Dulu tribe originally lived in Mobei and mainly lived around the Jinshan (Altai Mountains). However, with the young and strong of the tribe last year and the expedition of Jieli Khan to the east of the Tang River, the five or six thousand young men in the tribe all died in the east of the river, and the grassland controlled by the deer department became a sweet spot in the eyes of the surrounding tribes.

Originally, there were nearly 10,000 young people in the Deer Division, which was a larger tribe near the Altai Mountains, occupying the fattest pasture at the foot of the Golden Mountain (Altai Mountains), and there was no one who did not open their eyes to grab it. It's just that with the defeat of the battle in Hedong last year, the Yanlu who lost five or six thousand young people was unable to protect the Jinshan (Altai Mountain) pasture, and after being beaten by the surrounding tribes five or six times and losing more than two thousand young people, the Yanlu tribe had to leave the Jinshan Ranch with hatred.

It turns out that there are not only many nomadic tribes in Mobei, but also because of the annexation, there are often tribes extinct after a few years, and at the same time, new tribes often emerge from nowhere. These new tribes may have been the result of intermarriage between some old tribes, or they may have been a branch of some large tribe, or they may have grown from horse thieves.

Because of the vastness of the area, even the Turks could not recognize all the small tribes, in fact they only recognized property, and when they paid taxes and levies the young and strong to fight, they obeyed the levies, and the rest was a simple and crude state of free-range.

When the Chinese encountered this kind of crazy and inhumane annexation, they could also seek an explanation from the imperial court and seek justice. In the eyes of the Turks, the so-called justice means that whoever has the biggest fist and the sharpest sword is justified. The wolf-like rules of survival.

migrated all the way and finally arrived at the foot of Helan Mountain. At this time, there were more than 10,000 young and strong, 50,000 or 60,000 people, and there were less than 3,000 people left, of which less than 2,000 were young and strong, and the others were women and children, and there was no old and weak, which was the survival law of the Turks themselves.

"Things are selected by nature, the strong are respected, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive!" In times of danger and predicament, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are the first to be abandoned.

Arrived at the foot of Helan Mountain, the deer tribe has also reached a consensus, they have more than 300 beautiful women like flowers, as well as more than 2,000 young and strong, tens of thousands of war horses, this is their confidence and strength, no matter who, as long as the strength is strong, they will be called ministers, absolutely unwilling to resist.

Just when the deer tribe was setting up tents at the foot of Helan Mountain and grazing their few remaining cattle, sheep and horses, a cavalry of about three or four thousand people suddenly came to the foot of Helan Mountain.

Seeing that a small tribe suddenly appeared at the foot of Helan Mountain, the leader of Yeli Minda (both fine seal Minda) was slightly surprised, but he was only slightly surprised. Dozens of cavalrymen escorted several male shepherds of the Deer Division to Yeli Minda.

These herdsmen of the deer tribe hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said in Turkic: "The villain does not know that the noble man has arrived without the nobleman, and he has not been able to meet him far away, please forgive me!" ”

"Attached?" Yeli Minda laughed when he heard this, daring to feel that these people regarded themselves as the most elite subordinate army of the Turks. In fact, it's no wonder that they will admit their mistakes, ironclad horses, strong bows, arrows, and steel knives are the special aspirations of the attached army, and not all tribes in the Turks can afford to raise ironclad cavalry.

However, under the leadership of Yu Guni, Yu Gu Ni's department used the dirty slave trade to rob other tribes and quickly became rich, and Yu Gu Ni's 30,000 cavalry alone had more than 13,000 pairs of iron armor, which was definitely a huge wealth even in the eyes of the Turkic Jieli Khan.

Originally, Yeli Minda had bewitched Yu Guni to deal with Li Daozhen, but it was easy to think of this strategy, but it was difficult to implement, but now this inexplicable tribe suddenly appeared at the foot of Helan Mountain, originally when he inspected half a month ago, this tribe had not yet appeared, and now, I am afraid that there are not a few people who have heard of this tribe in the entire Lingzhou vicinity.

Thinking of this, his eyes rolled and he thought about it. Yeli Minda looked at the few people in front of him, and said very arrogantly: "What tribe are you, and how many dingkou are there?" Who is the patriarch, let him come and see me. ”

A young man, who looked to be nearly eight feet three inches tall, said: "We are the Men of the Deer Division, my name is Men and I am their patriarch, our tribe has more than 5,000 Ding, and there are 2,000 people who can be sent by the nobles!" ”

Yeli Minda waved his hand at the cavalry around him, and the cavalry scattered in all directions, and swept away at the surrounding rude tribes, he didn't take these remote tribes to heart, and said very arrogantly: "You are the patriarch of the deer tribe?" How can you be so young. ”

"I am the son of the previous patriarch, and my old man died, so I succeeded him. ”

Soon the cry came, and the sound of the wild man changed slightly.

Yeli Minda said unhurriedly: "Don't be nervous, you take three hundred people in your tribe to do something, and it's done, the pasture under Helan Mountain belongs to your deer department, if you can't do it...... Hmph, the deer is up and down, and the chickens and dogs are not left! ”

He smiled bitterly, he knew that he had no choice, he was now a tribe with more than 3,000 people, in the eyes of the Turkic nobles, he would not have any hesitation at all, he asked timidly: "Nobleman, I'm afraid that this matter will be nine deaths, right?" ”

"Of course!" Noli Minda smiled: "If it's easy, will it be your turn?" Don't worry, we will do what we say, as long as you do this, the grassland within a radius of 300 miles is all your deer's department. ”

He begged for mercy: "This is a temporary place for us to rest. This morning, I just went to the southwest to herd sheep, and I haven't come back yet. Nobleman, if we don't do this errand, can we leave now? ”

"Let's go? Where to go? Yeli Minda laughed and said, "There is a noble man who wants to exalt you and allow you to join the army. If you are really a tough child, you will inevitably be assigned to the control string barracks. That's your supreme glory, don't be ignorant! ”

Noli Minda looked at one of the deputy chiefs and said, "Go and summon people." Then he pointed to the wild man and said, "You stay!" ”

With a look, the two deputy leaders on the left and right led the rest of the cavalry to set off to surround the wild as hostages.

The aggressive ambition lamented in his heart, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves. He had no choice but to cooperate and obey his orders, otherwise he would be exterminated and the chickens and dogs would not be left.

In a very short time, he made a decision. Although their numbers are not much different from those of Yeli Minda's department, the difference in strength is really huge, and in the face of the attached army of fine iron and iron armor, even a thousand people can annihilate them all, not to mention that there are at least four thousand people here now.
