Chapter 725 Returning with a great victory (Second update, asking for diamonds)
As soon as the Turkic king fled, the Turkic soldiers who followed him had no intention of blocking Luo Zhang's army, and they also fled in panic after their king.
Halfway up the mountain, Li Ji stood here, looking at the Turkic king who was escaping in a hurry. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Luo Zhang's talent was comparable to Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms. Even such a mountain attack battle could be won easily without any casualties.
, this seemed astonishing to him!
The Turkic King escaped, and Luo Zhang did not send troops to pursue him. After all, Cheng Yaojin and others who were besieged in the Turkic camp had not yet escaped, so naturally they had to solve their problems first, and the Turkic King escaped. This kind of thing would naturally happen.
Make good use of it, after the soldiers pick up the flag and golden helmet that the Turkic king dropped when he fled.
Luo Zhang took the flag and golden helmet and ordered: "Give me the flag and golden helmet, carry it high on a bamboo pole, go to the Turkic camp and shout around, tell them that your king has been beheaded, tell them to hurry up
Surrender quickly!"
After hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned. The Turkic King was not dead, but then everyone realized it and praised Luo Hou for his cleverness.
If you do this, the Turkic army that besieged the Tang army will definitely be in chaos, and the besieged Tang army will be relieved by itself!
At that moment, Su Dingfang led a team of people to take the order. Li Ji, who was standing next to Luo Zhang, looked at Luo Zhang with an indescribably weird look. He really wanted to open Luo Zhang's head and see what was inside.
How come such a clever plan is so easy to come by? Is it possible that this kid is the reincarnation of Zhuge?
In front of the Turkic camp, Cheng Yaojin and other generals were leading the Tang army to fight hard, but they were filled with anger.
It was clear that reinforcements had arrived, but for some reason they did not come to them, but turned away. This put Cheng Yaojin and others who had rushed out of the military camp and prepared to break out with the reinforcements, immediately into a dilemma.
They had no choice whether to continue to break through and fight, or to return to the camp and wait again.
If they want to charge out with these troops and horses alone, they will lose at least half of the troops, or even more. It is not advisable to retreat to the military camp and continue to wait. They will have no supplies as soon as they enter. Going back means waiting to die, and the morale of the soldiers will be high.
It is even more difficult to stop the enemy from breaking through, so it is better to fight to break through in front of them.
If reinforcements had just arrived to cooperate with them in breaking out of the encirclement, how could something like this happen now? Damn it, it's really hateful.
Just when Cheng Yaojin and several generals were cursing Luo Zhang in their hearts, they heard an uproar from behind the Turks, and then the Turkic army that besieged Cheng Yaojin and others was in chaos, and then fled back like headless flies.
This explains why Cheng Yaojin and others could not figure out why the Turks fled.
When they took advantage of the situation and killed the Turks who came back crying for their fathers and mothers, they understood the whole story. Everyone looked at Luo Zhang with admiration and gratitude.
Yes, Luo Zhang can indeed cooperate with them to break out, but what happens after they break out? They will be hunted down by the Turks.
Most of the Turks are cavalry, and most of them are infantry. How can they run across horses on two legs? Maybe they will be besieged by the Turks again. How will they break out of the encirclement then?
Of the more than 70,000 of them, plus Luo Zhang's 30,000 reinforcements, it would be good if half of them could eventually escape and return to Dingxiang City.
This also shows how wise and correct Luo Zhang's choice was.
In this battle, they only lost five thousand troops and horses, including the losses of the five thousand cavalry sent by Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang's one choice reduced the battle damage by at least 40,000. This was not 40,000 animals, but 40,000 living people, 40,000 Tang people. It can be said that Luo Zhang was kind to them.
Not an exaggeration.
On the way back, Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, I said Luo Zhang would not ignore us, now you see it!"
Yuchi Jingde rolled his eyes and said, "Did you say that? How do I remember who kept yelling that the leader of the reinforcements was a loser and a coward?"
"I really want to hear someone scold me like this, and there are some even worse ones that I'm embarrassed to say!" Niu Jinda said with a last-ditch attack.
"Who? Who said that? Let me know who said that, and I can't forgive him!" Cheng Yaojin said, looking around with bull's eyes.
Luo Zhang smiled slightly. He also understood Cheng Yaojin's mood. When he saw the reinforcements, he thought they had hope of getting out of trouble, but found that the reinforcements did not come to help them. With that kind of anger and disappointment, he would inevitably say some irrational things.
The same is true for him.
When the army appeared outside Dingxiang City, the city erupted in shocking cheers.
After receiving the report, Li Jing personally came to the city gate to welcome the army into the city. Seeing that Luo Zhang had entered the city gate intact, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If there was no one to appoint him, he would never send Luo Zhang to rescue him. If something happened, he couldn't afford it.
Dingxiang City, the meeting hall of the city lord's palace, after arranging the troops and horses, a group of generals gathered here.
"Li Shuai, thanks to Luo Zhang this time, if it weren't for Luo Zhang, we would have suffered heavy losses even if we could come back!" Cheng Yaojin was the first to say.
"Yes, Li Shuai, this time Luo Zhang not only rescued us, but also killed the Turks in all directions, leaving behind their armor. Even the Turk king fled in a hurry. It is really very satisfying!" Yuchi Jingde added
.
Hearing these two people praising Luo Zhang so much, Li Jing was slightly startled and said, "Why is this?"
At that moment, Li Ji stepped forward and reported to Li Jing in detail what Luo Zhang had done after sending troops.
Although many people knew that Luo Zhang used a trick to rescue them, Cheng Yaojin and others had heard of many details for the first time.
When they heard that Luo Zhang actually came up with the idea of using the two armies to fight against each other and using the giant shield used to attack the city to resist the bows and arrows going up the mountain, everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads. This method was probably only Luo Zhang could think of. At that time, who would
Thinking of this method, most of them would just order the sergeants to attack the barren mountain.
"Wonderful, wonderful, such a plan is really wonderful, Luo Zhang, you have achieved great success again this time!" After hearing Li Ji's report, Li Jing couldn't help but clasp his hands and laugh.
Others also nodded at the same time, everyone recognized Luo Zhang's contribution this time.
"Li Shuai, don't say that. The credit belongs to everyone. Without the dedication of the soldiers, it would be useless for me alone!" Luo Zhang said modestly.
"The credit must be attributed to them, and yours cannot escape. I will report it to His Majesty truthfully!" Li Jing said with a smile.
"Li Shuai, let's not talk about credit for now. This time our army lost as many as 70,000 troops. It can be said to be a heavy loss. However, the Turks lost more than us. What should we do next? Please help me."
