Chapter 817: The Price of Blood (I)
"What soul?" Wooden was a little confused, and looked at Xi Junmai in a daze, and couldn't understand why this second stunned man could say such profound words.
"You don't understand, do you? To be honest, I haven't figured it out until now, but that's what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me in the first place. Xi Junmai stood up from the ground with an iron lance and patted Wooden's shoulder: "If you figure it out, remember to tell me!" ”
"Your uncle, it turns out that your kid Meng Laozi." It wasn't until Xi Junmai walked a long way away that Wooden reacted and jumped to his feet and scolded.
"It's not like I'm blinding you, if you really want to say that Lao Tzu is also a victim." Xi Er turned his head in a daze and shrugged helplessly at Wooden.
In this battle, the Western Regions Army lost more than 3,400 people, of which nearly 500 were lost by the 'Fangs', and about 3,000 were lost by the three major cavalry teams. The number of casualties of the Turtle and Yu coalition forces was as high as 30,000, and nearly half of them were shot by the three-edged crossbow and bled continuously, and after being rescued, they lost too much blood and died.
"Withdraw the troops, we must withdraw the troops, this battle can't be fought, withdraw to the main city of Qiuci, we can also rely on the benefits of the city to deal with the Tang Dynasty, if we continue to fight on the plains, I'm afraid that no one will be able to return to Qiuci at all." The lord of the country of Qiuzi sat on the main seat of the camp with his helmet crooked, poured a large mouthful of water, and said after a long breath.
"No, you can't withdraw!" Li Yuanchang opened the tent and walked in, equally embarrassed, but his eyes burned with a raging fighting spirit.
"Why can't you withdraw, do you have to wait to be completely wiped out by the Tang Western Regions Army!" The lord of Qiuci did not expect that the battle of 100,000 against 15,000 would make him lose so much, except for the loss of more than 10,000 people in the Khotanese army, his Qiuci army actually lost nearly 20,000.
This is his wife, Ben, in this broken place in the Western Regions, if there is no army, soon he, the lord of the country, will become a lost dog, driven off the throne by a guy who came out of nowhere, and become a stray dog like Wei Chi Wumi.
"We have losses, and the Tang army also has losses, if we don't take advantage of the moment to give them a fatal blow, if we wait for them to ease up, I'm afraid our losses will be even greater." Li Yuanchang said with red eyes.
"Enough, you little doll knows a fart." The lord of Qiuci shook off the water bag in his hand and said angrily: "If you want to give the Tang Western Regions army a fatal blow, the Lone King will not stop you, you go, take your Khotanese army, Lao Tzu's Qiuci army will not accompany you." ”
"You ......" Li Yuanchang's cheeks were puffed out by anger, but there was nothing he could do.
He wanted to completely eradicate the Tang army when it was not strong, but it was impossible to complete such a task with the remaining nearly 30,000 Khotanese troops alone, and without the help of the Qiuzi army, he would not have such strength at all.
However, the main country of Qiuci now wants to preserve its strength, and does not want to fight with the few warriors in its hands, and would rather give up the opportunity at its fingertips than withdraw to Qiuzi.
A kind of idea of inadequacy and conspiracy arose in Li Yuanchang's mind, looking at the lord of Qiuzi who was looking at him, and after seeing that the other party insisted on refusing to change his mind after a while, His Royal Highness the King of Han, who was extremely angry, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
"Hmph, do you still want to calculate the Lone King, do you really use Lone as a three-year-old child?" After Li Yuanchang left, the lord of Qiuzi snorted coldly and said, "You Li Yuanchang really can't die as someone else's child?" Fatal blow, after the fatal blow, Lao Tzu is waiting for you to take the Western Turks to take Lao Tzu's country? Think Lao Tzu is like that fool of Yu Chi Wumi? Hmph, dream on you! ”
"Lord, when will we withdraw?" The commander of the Guizi National Army waited until his boss lost his temper and asked carefully.
The lord of the country of Qiuzi glared, as if he was blaming his subordinates for not having an eye: "What are you waiting for, withdraw immediately, leave the baggage team behind, and the rest of the people just wait for it to get dark and return to China immediately!" ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" After being glared at by the lord of the country, even the stupidest guy knows that continuing to stay can only touch the head, and leaving is the best choice.
That night, the more than 70,000 turtle and Yu coalition troops quietly escaped under the cover of night, leaving behind about 50,000 baggage teams. Anyway, these people are also sent by the surrounding small countries, even if they are dead, they have nothing to do with the Qiuzi country, leaving them to accompany the chasing soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, why not.
However, the lord of Qiuzi did not calculate that the army of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty would be so ruthless that it would slaughter all the baggage teams, leaving only ten people to report the news.
"What do you say? The baggage team was slaughtered? Three days later, the lord of Qiuzi, who had returned home with his troops, grabbed the remnants of the soldiers who came to report the news, and asked a little distractedly.
"Yes, yes, everyone is dead, their heads have been cut off and built into a Jingguan, there is blood everywhere on the ground, there are corpses everywhere, and the sand is red when it is dug down three feet......" The puppet was carried in the hands of the lord of the country of Qiuzi, and the eyes of the guy who reported the news were full of panic, and he seemed to be still immersed in the killing of the day.
"How is it possible, how is it possible? Don't they all say that Datang is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness? Why? Why would they do such a thing? Letting go of the remnants of the messenger, the lord of the country of Qiuzi said distractedly.
The 50,000 baggage troops were brought by him from the surrounding small countries, and then abandoned by him, and now that these people are all dead, can the surrounding countries not hate him? In the absence of Datang for revenge, what kind of things will those countries do?
Moreover, the Western Regions Legion is acting in such a ruthless way, this is obviously a shock, shocking the surrounding small countries, who dares to help Qiuzi against the Tang Dynasty, the end is to be based into a Jingguan for future generations to 'admire'!
The most important thing is that Tang Jun is so ruthless to the people who come to help, so what about Qiuzi? Will there be a slash too?
Li Yuanchang, damn Li Yuanchang, the army of the Tang Dynasty was provoked by him, if it weren't for him, the Tang Western Regions Army would still be crusading against Khotan, how could it be possible to run to Qiuzi? How can it be!
"Come on, arrest Li Yuanchang for me, arrest me!" Thinking of the culprit of everything, the Lord of the Turtle Kingdom roared and roared.
"The lord of the country, the lord of the country is angry." As the first strategist of the lord of Qiuci, Prime Minister Qiuci said with a bitter face: "Lord of the country, you must not be righteous and angry, you must know that now the Tang Western Regions Legion is in the territory of my Qiuci, although it will appear outside the city from time to time, the lord must not mess with himself." ”
"What do you mean? Why block! Without figuring out what the prime minister meant for a while, the lord of the country of Qiuzi asked with a gloomy side.
"Lord of the country, now that Li Yuanchang is shrinking into the Khotanese army, if you want to arrest him, you will inevitably have a conflict with Khotan." Prime Minister Qiuzi paused and said: "Lord of the country, our army is insufficient, and we must not lose a big one because of a small one!" ”
