After the war, the Western Regions Legion was actually equivalent to a great loss of vitality, with 15,000 people losing 3,000 in battle, and the 20% battle loss rate made it difficult for them to recover to their previous combat strength in a short period of time.

After discussing with Yu Chi Baolin and others, Wang Xuance of Younai made a plan to strangle the Guizi Baggage Team, so that the soldiers who were a little depressed could vent their depression in their hearts, and secondly, they could use this to deter the enemy and achieve the goal of letting the people of the Western Regions talk about the Tang Dynasty.

It was under such circumstances that the baggage team of more than 50,000 people was strangled by the three cavalry brigades with all their might, and the head was built into a Jingguan and stood in the battlefield the day before yesterday to pay tribute to the dead of their comrades.

For the next half a month, the Western Regions Legion had been resting and recuperating, and some of the lightly and seriously wounded needed to be recuperated, and in order to prevent their injuries from continuing to deteriorate in the bumps of the march, the necessary repairs still had to be carried out.

Of course, they can also enter some small countries and leave the wounded to those tattered countries to take care of, but considering the kind of medical conditions that grab a handful of grass and stuff it into their mouths, chew it a few times and cover it on the wound even if it is treated, even Xi Er, who never takes human life seriously, shook his head, thinking that it is better to do his own things and raise his wounded by himself, and not to trouble those witch doctors.

In half a month, the damned ones are dead, and the non-damned ones are alive, and the Western Regions Legion has appeared in front of them again under the thousands of calls of Qiuzi, but this time they appeared in the position under Qiuzi City!

"General of the Tang Dynasty, what do you want to do? Why do you insist on going your own way, where did I offend Datang, it is worth your hard work. The Lord of the Turtle Kingdom stood on top of the high city gate tower, shouting as if he were complaining to the Western Regions Legions who were already slowly arrayed under the city.

"Datang, Wansheng! Wansheng! He was answered by a roar of rage.

Whether it was Wei Chi Baolin or Wang Xuance or Wu Deng and Xi Er, no one came out to grind their teeth with him, as early as the moment he promised Li Yuanchang to fight against the Western Regions Legion, Qiuzi's fate was already doomed, either they completely wiped out the Western Regions Legion, or the Western Regions Legion slaughtered them and destroyed the country, there was no second way to choose.

After the 50,000 baggage team was hanged, the lord of Qiuci also knew this clearly, but with a hope of one in ten thousand, he still planned to make the Tang Dynasty withdraw through words, so that he could not only ensure his own strength, but also make a name for Qiuzi in the Western Regions, after all, it would be a great thing for the countries of the Western Regions to make the Western Regions army look at the city and retreat.

"How? Lao Yu, that rocket of yours can be used this time, right? Glancing at the lord of the Guizi country who was making noise at the head of the city with some impatience, Yu Chi Baolin poked Yu Ning, who was observing the movement on the city wall.

"Yes, but I need someone to put up a shield to defend it, the walls here are much higher than the others, and we have to get closer." Yu Ning was not polite to Yu Chi Baolin, and directly put forward his own request.

For a fool like Yu Chi Baolin Baolin who doesn't know what politeness is, if you are polite to him, it will make him confused, so it is better to say something directly.

"No problem, we have all kinds of shields we want, the question is how do we attack the city? And how do you open the gates? We're all cavalry, and there's no advantage in attacking such a fortified city. Yu Chi Baolin looked at the four-zhang high city wall and asked a little depressed.

"Didn't you say that at last night's meeting?" Yu Ning, who put down the binoculars, glanced at Yu Chi Baolin suspiciously.

"Uh......, yesterday, I accidentally fell asleep yesterday, and I didn't listen to this paragraph." Yu Chi Baolin scratched his head in embarrassment, grinning innocently, looking like he couldn't give him two punches. Ya Te, the commander of the first army, would fall asleep during a meeting, and have the face to say it, I really don't know how thick the skin needs to be.

But what can be done, this fool is this virtue, you never expect him to be smarter, Yu Ning also knew that it was useless to complain now, so he could only sigh helplessly and said: "The task of breaking the city gate is entrusted to us, but after this battle is over, it is estimated that we will be useless, and we will need to withdraw to Datang when the time comes." ”

"Why? You're back, what are we going to do? When I turn back to the Western Turks, I still count on you. Yu Chi Baolin looked depressed with some dissatisfaction, and his voice became louder, in his heart, he thought that Yu Ning was cowardly.

"After breaking this city, our weapons are basically used up, and without rockets, we have no use, so we must withdraw to replenish supplies and equipment in Datang." After a depressed explanation to Wei Chi Baolin, Yu Ning turned around and left, heading in the direction of the Rocket Army.

"How? Did you get it done? We don't have much time. In the camp of the Rocket Army, Yu Ning looked at the busy soldiers and asked with a frown.

"It's a little worse." A lieutenant in charge of dismantling the rockets said: "These things are things that catch fire when they see fire, and they are very strong, so you have to be careful and careful, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome." ”

"Try to speed it up, and leave enough rockets for siege, don't dismantle them all." Shuttling through the camp, watching his soldiers laboriously break open the hollow iron balls and pour out the gunpowder inside little by little, Yu Ning also broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Damn the guys are smashing those iron balls with hammers, and sometimes they are smashed, and the sparks are flying everywhere, so it's all gunpowder, and when they see it, aren't these bastards really afraid to blow themselves up?

But there is no way, the big war is just around the corner, there is no time at all, they slowly pour out the gunpowder little by little, and they can only use this way to break it down to achieve the purpose of saving time.

The busy preparations went on for about half a day, and when it was about to dark, the rocket army Yu made ten black powder packets weighing 50 catties each, and sent them to the front line.

"How? Ready to go? Looking at the ten huge black powder bags, Yu Chi Baolin's eyes lit up. An iron ball weighing more than a pound can make such a big movement, and now ten and fifty pounds are made, how cool it would be if this thing exploded.

"Ready, the Rocket Army can attack at any time." Yu Ning nodded.

"Baolin, how is our army's night combat ability?" Wang Xuance looked at the city head that had already lit torches, looked at the gunpowder bag wrapped in several layers of linen cloth on the ground, and asked a question that he was very concerned about.
