Chapter 1175. Another jade?
The dawn of September 24 in the fourth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty seemed to come later than usual, and the sun rose pale from the plains of Mesopotamia in the east, looking at the earth weakly.
However, the sun illuminated the wilderness, and it still made the Min army from the lord to the private breathe a sigh of relief, last night was so chaotic, if the Arabs attacked in a big way, the Min army would really suffer heavy losses.
Hussein was definitely the most fanatical and ferocious terrorists left behind, perhaps the group that slaughtered Antioch, who had reached a desperate situation but still fought to the death, surrendered twice and no one answered, was scattered and gathered back, the war did not end until a quarter of an hour before dawn, and the clearing of the battlefield has not been completed until now.
Under the cold sunlight, the battlefield was full of corpses, some with guns, some with crossbow arrows, the last attack, Li Yexu simply organized all the archers, and took advantage of the hazy morning light to shoot at the Arabs gathered together, which broke the stubborn formation of the remnants of the army.
Almost all of the 4,000 Arab troops behind the palace were killed, only a few hundred scarred and incapacitated were dragged back, and if you add the cost of a day's storm, the Arabs lost more than 6,000 or nearly 7,000 men.
However, the Min army also paid the price of more than 5,000 dead and wounded, most of them were encircled and suppressed in the middle of the night, and what was even more shameful was that 1,200 people died because of the hedge with Li Rang's corps of the Hezhong Army.
In history, when Tang Taizong conquered Goguryeo, he once killed 3,000 prisoners, which led to tension with local ethnic minorities and fell short.
Gritting his teeth angrily, Li Jie directly waved his hand: "Such a stubborn and incompetent person will be killed!"
At this time, even the scribes who read the Confucian classics and read the stupid military did not dare to step forward and say that it was ominous to kill the prisoners, and in the shouting of Li Yexu, who suffered the most losses, hundreds of fanatics were dragged to the side of the road by strings of ropes, and the soldiers who lost their comrades angrily kicked them to their knees on the ground, and then retreated, and a row of steel crossbowmen separated a few meters from each other, and detained the crossbow machine against the remnants of the Arab soldiers who still looked murderous.
A burst of silver light flashed, and the killing was extremely efficient.
The so-called pit killing, is not to bury a big pit to bury the enemy alive, from the ancient Chinese tradition, after the army defeated the ferocious enemy army, its corpses were piled up on the side of the road to become a hill, called pit killing, while executing, on the other hand, the officers and soldiers of the Fujian army cleaned up the battlefield, and piles of corpses began to be stacked together hideously.
"Father!"
Li Jie was arranging the aftermath of the work, and the voice of surprise came from behind him, and when he turned around, it turned out that Li Rang had come back, and the kite behind him was still pushing a woman who was tied up by five flowers.
It can be seen that yesterday was an extremely cruel beating, the traditional Arab robes on this woman named Serim Zhuor were torn one by one, revealing red skin in some places, and the veil on her face was also torn off, but what was surprising was that there was still a silver half-sided metal mask where the original veil was hidden, which still covered the woman's face strongly.
This woman's kung fu is not weak, or she can't fight until dawn from yesterday afternoon, the last time she ambushed Li Rang, this woman also almost ended up with a knife to the dignified king of the river, so she was quite ruthless to her bitter and hateful kite, a circle of ropes tied to her arms were strangled into the flesh, and the scarred hands were also tied red and almost hung to the neck, and the remaining rope was still in the hands of the kite, and it was pushed in front of Li Jie like an animal.
A cold woman leads another cold woman who is tied up, this scene is sadistic enough.
"I've seen Your Majesty!"
A military boot kicked on Zhuoer's knee and kicked her to the ground, the Arab woman was still unruly and stubborn to get up, and the angry kite stepped on her back, and then the posture was a little wrong and knelt on one knee on her to salute Li Jie.
Li Rang on the side also bowed down with an excited military salute.
"Father, my son lives up to his mission!"
Last night, Li Rang ordered to be captured alive, but this woman was very rebellious, and the brave Min army who rushed to her side several times were cut to the ground by her, and finally the casualties were too heavy and annoyed Li Yexu simply ordered a large-scale massacre with crossbow arrows, originally thought that she would also have to die in the chaos, but when she was sorting out the corpses, she was dug out under the layers of corpses, so that Li Rang came over happily to report the victory.
The last sneak attack on Aleppo City was also this woman, staring at her, Li Jie was really a little curious and ordered: "Take off her mask."
In the doctrine of a trace of blue, if a woman is seen by a strange man, even if she loses her virginity, or in the doctrine of a trace of blue, a woman's face is considered a shame, so many men in public, listening to Li Jie's order, the woman obviously struggled violently, and struggled to throb the sturdy hand tied to her back to stop it, but she was pressed down by the knees of the kite and pressed down hard, stretched out her hand, and took it off.
Looking at her face, Li Jie couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.
This woman is indeed very beautiful, a typical West Asian beauty, inheriting Hussein's handsome bloodline, with a peugeot face and good looks, but for Li Jie, who is used to seeing beautiful women, it is not too outstanding, in order to get the favor of King Min, Tianzhu Persia and the Tang family are desperately stuffing the family daughter into the palace, so that Li Jie's palace is a goblin nest.
What really surprised Li Jie was that this woman's stubborn temperament was too similar to a face in his memory.
After being stunned for a while, what made Li Jie cry and laugh was that Li Rang was actually full of remorse, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly in his heart, can Lao Tzu still rob women with you, a little bastard?
Because of this familiarity, it can be regarded as making Li Jie's cruel heart a little more relaxed this day, and he waved his sleeves casually: "You are pitiful enough to be thrown away by your father and sent to death, the widow will not kill you, take it down!"
Who knew that as soon as she finished saying this, the woman actually struggled forward and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Phew! Dog King, who is my lord's chaser, is not uncommon for your hypocritical mercy! ”
"You have a woman who can meanly ruin the appearance of my father Caliph for you, why can't my father have a woman to fight for a glimmer of life for hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Arab Empire!"
"Wait! It won't be long before my father the Caliph will bring the army of the well-fed Lord and kill you heretics once and for all! Kill all of you Tang people and wipe them out of the world! ”
The kite, who woke up, hurriedly pressed her entire face on the sand with one knee, blocked her mouth with sand, and listened to a series of hateful but fluent Tang Dynasty official words, Li Jie was also stunned for a moment.
Sure enough, Hussein trained his daughter to be as cruel as Li Yu'er, in order to deal with herself, no wonder this woman's expression was simply another Yu'er, but it was more cruel, cold, and vicious than Yu'er.
Immediately, her face turned cold, this woman was already hateful, and there was no need to stay, she turned around and brushed her sleeves away, and Li Jie coldly threw down a sentence.
"Slash!"
With a bang, Luan Ye immediately pulled out the horizontal knife of the guard next to him, and slammed it high on the neck of Zhuoer, who was kneeling up again, but seeing that this woman was about to fall to the ground, Li Rang reached out and grabbed Kite's hands fiercely.
The powerful knife suddenly couldn't fall.
"Father, this, this daughter hurt her son last time, and her son has a grudge, please don't, don't kill her so easily, please, please give it to her son, let her torture her!"
Turning around again, Li Jie was suddenly depressed, Li let this little bastard usually can't beat half a fart with eight sticks, how did he become a masochist this time, for a woman who wanted to kill him, he dared to contradict himself, he wanted to torture, is he really an idiot?
The anger immediately did not hit one place, and Li Jie, who had a twitch beard, opened his mouth and was about to split his head and cover his face and reprimand him.
However, looking at this kid's head down but very firm, Li Jie turned his mind again, hesitated and nodded his head: "I'll leave it to you!"
It is rare that Li Rang has his own proposition once, and he will have to give him a heavier burden in the future, so he can't hit him at this time, although this proposition is a bit untable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Rang immediately bowed his head with great joy, but was grabbed by Li Jie, and reprimanded angrily: "Remember, you are the son of a widow!" Whatever the widow does, it's for your own good! This woman is a poisonous snake and is not worth keeping! ”
"Look at her!"
The last sentence is addressed to the kite.
Watching Li Jie leave again in astonishment, Li Rang was a little at a loss, but the warm kite in his eyes dragged the rope in his hand fiercely, and pulled Zhuoer again.
"Let's go!"
…………
After a morning of cleaning the battlefield, the bodies of the dead were gathered together, the clergy were overpowering the souls of the dead, and the Arab fanatics were also piled up into a contemplation, which could be regarded as a consolation for the victims of Antioch.
The army formed a circle, the outer infantry arranged defenses to guard against possible attacks from all directions, and the sergeants in the inner circle began to rest after breakfast, and their morale was finally stabilized.
Li Jie's Chinese army camp was noisy.
"These Arabs must have gone to Antioch again!"
"Impossible! This king has sent fifty miles of scouts, and these Arab armies will never be able to cross hands with this king! ”
Li Rang, whose self-confidence has been cultivated, unceremoniously refuted Yu Wenshu's speculation, Lao Li Ji looked at the map with a gloomy face, and a group of generals put forward various speculations about the whereabouts of the Arab army, and no one let anyone.
In the chaotic quarrel, Li Jie's own head was also irritable like a ball of paste, and he let the Arabs run away, could it be that this crusade was going to fall short?
Never!
