Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Four

The battle ended after an hour, and the main reason why it dragged on for so long was the need to hunt down some cunning Chihu rangers. In the end, all the 107 Qihu rangers were taken, 67 were killed, and the rest became prisoners of war of the Tang Iron Cavalry.

And Hezhe, the centurion of the Golden Horde, naturally became the main target of interrogation, although Hezhe felt that he had always been a fearless Qihu warrior in the face of death, with a broken head, blood to be kept, and courage not to be lost.

But the problem is that when the Tang Military Academy Captain Ding Li sent a soldier who had served as a yamen officer to interrogate He Zhe, it didn't take more than half an hour for He Zhe to kneel down completely.

Not to mention that He Zhe knelt, even if the captured Qihu barbarians next to him were as pale as the little sheep that had met the evil wolf, he watched the errand slowly sharpen the bamboo sticks one by one, and then took the bamboo stick and pierced it into the fingertips of He Zhe's fingers, and it took less than three watches to pierce it, and He Zhe understood that these despicable methods of the Han people could not be countered by relying on their own courage.

Then, he interrogated several other Qihu barbarians in a row, these guys didn't need this Tang Army soldier from a military officer to take action at all, and directly poured beans into a bamboo tube to reveal all the things he knew, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to confide in time, and he would also pierce his fingers with that thing like He Zhe.

After synthesizing the confessions of these guys, Captain Ding Li already understood, it seems that the Moli Khan was suspicious because His Royal Highness Prince Hassan had not sent people to contact the Chinese army these days, so he specially sent the Golden Horde guards around him to investigate to see if his son was too brave and invincible, and he was busy killing people and setting fire to the south of Yunzhou, so that he forgot to contact his father.

"General Ding, what should we do now?" That Mu Laoqi's eldest brother, Mu Baichang, asked Ding Li.

"What can I do? Cold water stopped, put all these guys into the Yunshui River Valley, and then put a carrier pigeon that Zuo Yu Lin Wei gave to us, just pass the news on, and then continue to ambush according to the previous plan. Ding Li rolled his eyes and beckoned his men to take away all the Qihu barbarians who had been interrogated.

“…… It seems that the Moli Khan is suspicious. Duan Shaojun, who was standing above the city, glanced at the pigeon letter hastily, handed it to Li Xuan, who was standing beside him, and said.

"It's normal to be suspicious. I hadn't been in touch for days, but Mo Li Khan couldn't have thought that his son Hassan would be so neatly defeated by my eldest niece's sword. After Li Xuan looked at it, he couldn't help but have a little smug on his face. That's why I sent it out to check it out. ”

"Don't pay attention to this, after all, if you send someone to rush over, and then rush back, you have to delay the situation for four or five days, after four or five days, maybe Her Royal Highness the princess has already defeated the enemy army in the enemy city, and at that time, even if Mo Li Khan knows that Hassan has been captured and the Western Route Army has been annihilated, it is useless." General Chen Zhonglang also took the letter and read it, nodded with a deep understanding and smiled.

Duan Shaojun nodded, indeed, presumably now, Li Youwen has already led the army straight to the enemy city, as long as he can cooperate well with the defenders in the city, there should be no problem in defeating the Qihu East Route Army led by the captain of the Chihu Commander of Boltie.

As long as the Eastern Route Army of Qihu can be killed and injured to the greatest extent, then even if Moli Khan can keep the 80,000 Qihu soldiers and horses under Yunzhou City and return to the grassland, I am afraid that he will be anxious for several years.

After all, the loss of nearly 100,000 young people is a catastrophe for many tribes and families on the grassland, and at that time, I am afraid that it is too late for Mo Li Khan to be busy consolidating the position of Qihu on the grassland, and it is impossible to have the leisure to invade the Tang Dynasty again.

After Li Youwen ascended to the throne of the empress and Daliang settled down, he just voted for Hu Manzi, to tell the truth, he was really not put in the eyes of Duan Dagongzi, as long as he had the support of the whole country of Datang, Duan Dagongzi promoted the production of gunpowder weapons, and at that time the entire grassland was just in Datang's bag.

"Anyway, why do you feel that these Qihu people don't seem to be thinking too much about attacking our Yunzhou City these days?" Li Xuan walked to the edge of the city wall, leaned on the towering female wall, and looked curiously at the camp tents of the Qihu people in the distance, and said.

"What Your Highness said is that in the past few days, those Chihu people have not used their other siege equipment except for ladders and siege vehicles, such as those rushing vehicles, although they have sent out a lot of troops each time, and each time they seem to have tried their best to attack the city. But the problem is that each siege will not last more than two hours, and it will retreat......"

Xu Youjun, the chief historian of the princess's mansion, also nodded as a matter of course, although he didn't know much about military issues, but he didn't have experienced the battle of defending the city, in comparison, this time in the defensive battle of Yunzhou, the number of troops used by the enemy army was at most one to twenty thousand, compared to the past examples, it was really a little low.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhonglang's eyes fell on Duan Shaojun's body and said slowly. "Maybe these Qihu barbarians are testing us, since the night before the fight, the Qihu people used the rushing car, and were repelled by those earth-shattering thunderbolts that Duan Gongzi got from, they haven't used those things again. However, in the past two days, it seems that the Khihu people have built new punching cars. ”

"That's naturally because they think that the Heaven-shaking Thunder is extremely rare, so we are so stingy, but it's okay to let these Qihu barbarians continue to stay here, if they blow them up too much, they will slip away early, which is not beautiful." Duan Shaojun laughed, but his smile seemed very sinister and obscene.

"That's true, but now that their newly built rush car is almost over, the time for the Qihu people to launch a large-scale attack will be within a day ......or two," Fang Lang couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Duan Shaojun.

Duan Shaojun smiled faintly. "Don't worry, General Fang Lang, as long as those Qihu barbarians dare to use the rushing car, they will be able to taste the taste of earth-shattering thunder...... Even if they had a hundred rushing cars, they could all be blown into sawdust. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang Jiang and the others couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as for Duan Shoujian, he really didn't have any words anymore, he naturally had already inquired about the power of the earth-shattering thunder from Li Xuan.

With this kind of thing, who in the world would dare to go against Li Youwen, the princess of Zhaoyang? At least Duan Shoujian knew very well that if his father and grandfather knew that Duan Shaojun, Princess Zhaoyang's die-hard subordinate, had such a terrifying weapon, he believed that he would also give up the thoughts of the past and support Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang instead.

Some people may say that if you can't fight the enemy, then you will outwit it, but the problem is that Duan Shaojun himself is a guy who plays with IQ, a guy who is full of bad water in the blink of an eye, anyway, the more he learns about Duan Shaojun's deeds from Li Xuan, the more Duan Shoujian has more awe of Duan Dagongzi.

Or should it be said that he is more afraid than respectful, in order to avoid the disaster of killing, he didn't care about the difference between Han and Yi, and fled directly to the Toto Sea, and he was able to mix well in the Toto Sea, and after saving Princess Zhaoyang halfway, he also took Princess Zhaoyang to the territory of the Qihu people to recuperate for nearly half a year.

After that, Her Royal Highness the princess was sent back to Datang safe and sound, and then, when he was in control of Yunzhou, the series of methods that dazzled everyone were really admirable.

Such a wizard who plays tricks and scheming, leaving others far behind, and I don't know how far away, Duan Shoujian really can't think of any of those civil and military forces in the Tang Dynasty who can play with his heart and eyes to play this thing.

What's more, now this guy can be regarded as the first meritorious minister who supported Li Youwen as Her Majesty the Empress, and he is deeply trusted by Princess Zhaoyang, who can provoke the relationship between them.

Anyway, listening to my uncle's words, the relationship between the two seems to be more than just a relationship between monarchs and ministers...... Well, although I don't dare to talk nonsense, I don't dare to think nonsense, but considering that Li Youwen has now achieved another big victory in the Yunshui River Valley that is enough to make the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians feel very excited, I am afraid that if Li Youwen does not want to ascend to that position, there will be a large number of Tang soldiers who are unwilling.

With the support of the military, as for those Wenchen who have no discipline at all, in addition to playing tricks, under the sharp blade, I am afraid that the speed of kneeling and licking is several points faster than that of the generals.

Look at the fanatical and adoring faces of those Zuo Yulin guards when they mentioned Li Youwen, and then look at the little uncle who was standing next to him and laughing heartlessly, the gap, the gap between the mud and the horse is so big, in short, Duan Shoujian's mood at this moment is not beautiful.
