Chapter 969 is completely annihilated
A hard night's battle!
The Tang Army, the killing sound of the Turks, spread everywhere!
The east is white, and the first morning sun pierces the line of heaven and earth, when the sun rises in the east.
Fengzhou, the first line of the west surrender city, in the two battlefields, there is still a faint smoke.
The pungent air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The Tang army was cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the soldiers, arrows, and burning the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies.
The west is surrendered to the city.
Su Li led the remnants of the army to return to the city in embarrassment, and ordered the three armies to rest and recuperate, and treat the wounded soldiers as soon as possible.
He personally went to the palace to report the battle situation to King Zuoxian.
Last night, when Mugu and Tang Wan led their troops to be attacked by the Tang army outside the city of Fengzhou, King Zuo Xian sent him to lead 50,000 elite horsemen from the city of Xishou to come to the rescue.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the road, he was intercepted and killed by the Tang army lurking in advance, and fought hard in the middle of the night, and at dawn, he broke through the Tang army's pursuit and killing.
Led less than 20,000 remnants to return.
More than half of the reinforcements suffered casualties, and they failed to rush to the aid of Tang Wan, Mugu.
When Su Li went to the palace, he was afraid that he would be punished by King Zuoxian.
Arrive at the mansion and walk into the study.
Su Li suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the study was calm, and the broken blue and white porcelain teacups were scattered, and the generals were silent.
Zuo Xianwang's fist was pressed tightly on the desk, his face was blue and cold.
"Su Li visited the prince, the last general was ambushed by the Tang army, led the army to suffer heavy losses, and did not rush to the aid of Tang Wan and Mugu, the two generals, lived up to the trust of the prince, and were willing to be punished."
Su Li bowed down and saluted King Zuoxian, explaining his situation, and his eyes searched for the figures of Mu Gu and Tang Wan in the military tent.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find it as I wished.
King Zuo Xian raised his head and glared, and asked in his eyes: "Su Li, how many elites do you still have under your account?"
"Less than 20,000!" Su Li replied.
Hearing the sound, Zuo Xianwang's body seemed to be suddenly emptied, and he sat on the soft couch with no energy, his face pale.
In last night's battle, they lost nearly 130,000 elite horsemen.
With such a large number of casualties, it is close to the Battle of Wuding River.
As a result, there were only more than 70,000 elite horsemen left under his command, including the wounded brought back by Su Li.
Su Li didn't know where Tang Wan and Mu Gu went, so he approached Lu Mingsong and asked in a low voice: "Where are the two generals of Lu Wan and Mu Gu, haven't they returned?"
"The remnants of the soldiers who got back reported that in the battle last night, Tang Wan and Mugu, the two generals, encountered the three-way Tang army, nearly 150,000 iron cavalry, elite cavalry besieged and killed, 100,000 elites in our department, only a few hundred people escaped from death.
Tang Wan, the two generals of Mugu, were shrouded in horse leather, and they died on the battlefield!" Lu Mingsong's face was sad and indignant, and he replied softly.
"What, 100,000 elite horsemen, only a few hundred people survived." Su Li exclaimed, he couldn't believe it.
In this way, how did they conquer the Tang Dynasty in the south.
Yang Yue drove the expedition in person, and soon after arriving in Fengzhou City, he gave them a hard beating, and ate nearly seventy percent of the elite of Zuo Xianwang's department.
The military strength has been frustrated, and the momentum is low!
How did the tribesmen march south!
"It's true!" Lu Mingsong replied, and then said in a low voice: "The spies have already found out, the Tang general who ambushed you last night is called Nan Daoming, and he still has little experience in fighting with our department. If you change to Zhang Shaoming, Luo Shishang and his ilk will lead the army to ambush, and the 50,000 elites under your account will not want to retreat."
Hearing this, Su Li gasped.
He could feel that the tactics of the Tang army last night, although very effective, seemed to be too old-fashioned, and the generals of the Tang army did not seem to be familiar with the fighting style of the Turkic cavalry.
At this moment, when I heard what Lu Mingsong said, I suddenly realized.
I can't help but rejoice in myself and the elite soldiers I lead.
Soon his face became serious again, Nan Daoming was not familiar with the tactics of the Turkic cavalry, and was still able to inflict heavy damage on the army he led.
If you meet Zhang Shaoming, Luo Shishang and others.
Even if he fights head-on, he can't lead the army to lift it all over!
Not to mention, led the army to defeat the Tang army and achieved a great victory on the battlefield.
In this way, the Turkic elite cavalry fought against the Tang army, and there was little hope of victory, and without a better strategy, they led the army to invade the Tang Dynasty, which was no different from seeking their own death.
At this time, King Zuo Xian, who was leaning on the soft couch, finally spoke.
The green muscles skyrocketed, and he said angrily: "Lu Mingsong, at all costs, find the Tang Army's armory, and destroy all the other party's earth-shattering thunder and divine fire flying crows."
According to the report of the remnants of the army who fled and returned last night, the Tang army has very strong combat effectiveness, but the Divine Fire Flying Crow and the Heaven-shaking Thunder are even more powerful.
The defenses that the Turks often formed were wiped out at the moment of the explosion of the earth-shattering thunder and the divine fire crow.
Ordinary shield array, can block the Tang Army's strong crossbow, the three armies are desperate, can also block the Tang Army's charge, but the earth-shaking thunder, after the explosion of the Divine Fire Crow, it will cause a catastrophe.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Tang Army to fight a quick battle last night.
Even if they attacked in three directions and sent 150,000 elite cavalry and iron cavalry, it would not lead to the annihilation of the elite troops led by Tang Wan and Mugu.
Zuo Xianwang's heart is like a mirror, if he wants to block the edge of the Tang army, as soon as possible to destroy the Tang army's earth-shattering thunder and divine fire flying crow, in order to change the current passive situation.
Otherwise, there is no way to continue this war.
Barely supporting it will only cause more casualties to the tribe's sons.
Even the remaining 70,000 elite horsemen no longer want to return to the tribe safely.
When Lu Mingsong heard this, he said with an embarrassed expression: "Lord Wang, the Tang Army closely protects the Heaven-Shaking Thunder and the Divine Fire Flying Crow, we still don't know the source of this kind of firearms, let alone where the Tang Army stores the firearms.
At the beginning, we captured the city of Xishou, and the last general personally led the army to rummage through the entire city, but we did not find the earth-shaking thunder and divine fire flying crow left by the Tang army.
Now going to Toyosu City and finding these firearms is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack."
King Zuo Xian's attitude was firm, with an unquestionable look, and he said sonorously: "This king said, at all costs, as long as there are earth-shaking thunders and divine fire flying crows hidden in Fengzhou City, as long as the Tang army uses these firearms in battle, there will always be clues."
Perhaps the Tang Army kept all kinds of firearms very closely!
Perhaps the Turks will pay a heavy price in the search for firearms.
However, did these casualties suffer from earth-shattering thunder bombardment on the battlefield, allowing the Tang army to drive straight in and kill the tribesmen at will, and the casualties were greater?
In this battle, his tribe suffered heavy losses.
If the firearms of the Tang army are not found as soon as possible, the Liwang Department of Zuogu and the Yan Xingjun Department will suffer the same casualties sooner or later in the confrontation with the Tang Army.
After King Zuo Xian finished speaking, he found that Lu Mingsong's face was melancholy, and he said loudly: "Lu Mingsong, if your tribe can't find the Tang Army's earth-shattering thunder, the Divine Fire Flying Crow, the next time you fight against the Tang Army, you will personally lead your tribe's forbidden army as the vanguard!"
"This..."
When Lu Mingsong heard this, his expression became more and more embarrassed.
In his tribe, he has been stationed on the Western Front all the year round and has never fought against the Tang Army, and letting his tribe be the vanguard will definitely cost the life of the tribe's son.
However, King Zuoxian's attitude is unquestionable, if he refuses, he will definitely be killed on the spot!
Helplessly, he hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the last general will definitely find the storage place of the Tang Army's earth-shaking thunder!"
