The soldiers of the Tang army slashed open the tent with their swords on their horses, and then mercilessly chopped down the Turks who were snoring like thunder! Blood splattered everywhere, staining the broken tents red! I don’t know how many Turks were killed in their sleep.
, then some people suddenly woke up and saw the Tang Army's saber slashing at them. Their first reaction was that they were dreaming!
Tang Jun didn't care whether they were dreaming or not. He chopped off their heads with a knife and let them continue to sleep peacefully and sleep forever!
This was a pure massacre than that of the Tam River. At least that time, the Turks still had weapons in their hands, horses under their crotches, and their minds were still clear. This time, they lay down in a daze with empty hands.
Let the Tang army slaughter them on the ground... Some cavalrymen didn't even bother to bend down and swing their swords. They just trampled them with the iron hooves of their war horses. Every time they stepped on them, a Turk's intestines were torn apart and his brains burst out. The killing speed was actually faster than using a weapon.
Come quickly...
Even to their death, the Turks could not understand how the Tang army could cross the vast desert in a huge sandstorm and appear in front of them.
In the tent that was first attacked by the Tang army, almost no Turks could escape from the tent, so they were all wiped out. The Turks inside were in better condition. Many of them ran out barefoot and carrying knives.
However, it was of no use... Although the Turks stood there with weapons in hand, they all felt top-heavy and struggled to move. Everything they saw was double-imaged. This was the consequences of a hangover!
In front of the heavily armed and murderous cavalry of the Tang Army, they had no power to resist, so they were beheaded off their horses!
In the blink of an eye, half of the Turkic camp was swept away by the Tang army. The shouts of killing and screams completely drowned out the sound of wind and sand in the sky!
In the camp that had not yet been visited by the Tang army, the Turks finally had time to mount their horses and desperately... fled in all directions!
In front of the Tang army who descended from heaven, the Turks completely lost their courage and just wanted to escape quickly, but how could the Tang army give them a chance? The typhoon shelter had long been surrounded by water, and the Turks would be stopped by the Tang army wherever they fled. There was no way to escape.
, with no way to go to the ground, they could only dismount their horses and kneel down to surrender.
But the Tang army chased them all the way, and went through countless hardships and narrow escapes. The accumulated grievances had already exploded. No matter how they were willing to accept their surrender, they still waved their sabers mercilessly, killing the Turks who were kneeling on the ground.
Kill them all!
The killing lasted for half an hour, and all the Turks in the camp were killed or injured. The shouts of killing finally subsided...
At this time, the sandstorm that had been raging for two days gradually subsided, the sky turned blue again, and the yellow sand dust settled...
Li Mu didn't pay attention to the battle at all, because as long as his army could appear here, it would definitely win a complete victory!
He only cares about one thing right now, and that is not to let Tong'e escape again!
However, what he was afraid of was what he was afraid of. Once the battle situation was settled, Su Dingcong personally led his men and horses to search for Tong'e, but after searching the camp, there was no sign of him...
"Can you run away?" Su Dingfang replied to Li Mu with a look of disbelief on his face: "Our people are surrounded by iron barrels, and even flies can't fly out!"
"It stands to reason..." Li Mu frowned. Last night, he and his personal guards did not participate in the battle. They wandered around to prevent Tong'e from escaping, but there was no guarantee that there was a secret passage in this oasis. After all, Tong'e was
It’s normal for E’e’s lair to be prepared.
Su Dingfang shook his head repeatedly and said: "Where can he escape in this vast desert? Has he put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier and mingled with the dead?"
"Look for him," Li Mu said in a deep voice, "We have to dig three feet into the ground to dig him out!" Although the Turkic army was completely wiped out, if Tong'e could not be found, the victory would be greatly compromised. Although the Turkic army was defeated,
, but it is not completely eliminated. There are still hundreds of thousands of Turkic people in the grassland and Gobi. Their relatives are dead, and the hatred will continue. With people like Tong'e leading the way, sooner or later it will be a disaster.
"Yes!" Su Dingfang also knew the seriousness of the problem and quickly sent people to start a second search.
Knowing that Tong'e had not been found, Yaji came over and asked Li Mu for help, saying that he was familiar with the environment of the oasis and was willing to search for her together.
Since finding the oasis, Yaji has regained his freedom. Now seeing the Ming Dynasty annihilating the remnants of the Turkic army, all the bones in his body have become lighter. There is no trace of sadness.
Li Mu didn't have the slightest fondness for this traitor who betrayed his own people, but when this guy was still valuable, he could still maintain a pleasant expression and said: "So, you also think that Tong'e did not escape from the typhoon shelter?"
"No, that old immortal is as timid as a mouse and never wants to take any risks!" Yaji said firmly: "Master Wang has surrounded this typhoon shelter. He would never dare to take the risk of breaking out. He will definitely choose
Find a mouse hole to hide and wait until Master Wang leaves before coming out!"
"You mean, Tong'e has a hiding place here?" Li Mu asked with interest.
"There must be!" Yaji said with a mocking face: "The old guy is born in the year of the rat, and he feels uncomfortable all over if he doesn't dig holes. Moreover, many of his rat holes were dug by different people. Even I don't know them all, but
, the methods of digging holes are similar, I should be able to find them."
"Then it's time to work." Li Mu's patience ran out and he waved his hand, indicating that he should go ahead and do what he was supposed to do.
"Just take a look!" Yaji nodded, bowed and stepped back, and began to search around.
After the sandstorm passed, the breeze swayed the branches and shook off the sand and dust on the leaves. This beautiful oasis revealed its original appearance again. The leaves of Populus euphratica were rustling, strange willows hung on the blue waves surrounded by shrubs, and even small birds appeared.
The figure emerged, standing on a reed branch and chirping happily.
A hearty victory made the fatigue of the soldiers disappear. This group of guys who were tired to death before were now full of energy and cleaning the battlefield in the Turkic camp. All the soldiers passing by Li Mu,
The eyes that looked at him were equally intense and awe-inspiring!
After turning the impossible into a possible victory, the army's admiration for Li Mu reached a new height. In the eyes of the soldiers, the Marquis is no longer a human being, he is a god. He can pinch and calculate. Otherwise, how could he
Is it possible to accurately find the enemy's lair in this vast desert?
After leading them out of a desperate situation and achieving another glorious victory, Li Mu was completely deified in the hearts of these Tang Army soldiers!
They are willing to follow Li Mu through fire and water. As long as he waves his flag, even if it is the Palace of Hell, these soldiers will dare to break into it! Because they believe that Li Mu will win!
Li Mu sat on a stone by the water, enjoying the precious fresh air, fishing with a fishing rod made by his subordinates' skillful hands, and listening to Su Dingxiang report the results of the battle to him.
"In this battle, a total of 12,000 enemy troops were wiped out. Ninety of our troops were killed and 200 wounded, of which 80 were seriously injured."
There are no prisoners. This was decided before the war. With the army alone and no food and grass, how can we afford to raise prisoners? As the saying goes, if you don't want to sacrifice the lives of your own soldiers, you can only use the lives of the enemy instead.
.
"In addition, a total of 7,000 stones of military rations and more than 10,000 horses were seized!" Su Dingfang couldn't help but said with joy: "Master Marquis, you made the right bet, the winner takes all! We don't have to worry about military rations!"
Although seven thousand shi of food is not much, it is enough to feed more than 10,000 people!
"Haha..." Li Mu couldn't help but laugh. He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath of the intoxicating air. He suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes and said, "Where's the wine? How much wine was seized?" He still remembered beating the soldiers.
Even though it doesn't matter at the moment, I still hope that this matter can be resolved satisfactorily.
"This..." Su Dingfang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The Turks drank them all. These grandsons are really good at drinking. The whole camp is full of wine jars. The young ones rummaged through them one by one, but they were all empty."
"Hey..." Li Mu sighed, then smiled and said: "If they didn't drink like this, we wouldn't be able to win so easily."
"That's true." Su Dingfang nodded and joked: "My Lord, this statement should be able to win the understanding of the soldiers."
"There's nothing we can do if we don't understand." Li Mu smiled bitterly, stretched out his arms, and snorted contentedly: "I can only owe them first, and then invite them when I get back. When we get back, I will drink all the wine in the wine shop.
Come out, set up a flowing table for a month, and drink until they stop drinking!"
"Rather than drinking, the soldiers want to know another question more." Su Dingfang said with a smile: "How many miles did they travel in total?"
"Oh, well, haha!" Li Mu scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed, and Su Dingfang also laughed. The two of them laughed harder and harder, until they burst into laughter!
After laughing enough, Li Mu asked seriously: "What else can I gain?"
"Yes!" Su Dingfang said seriously: "We captured Tong'e's young son. This boy was only nine years old. He pretended to be dead among the dead. When he was cleaning the battlefield, he was caught. He was clever and shouted: 'I
He is Tong'e's son, please don't kill me!'" He said with a smile: "His voice was really timely, otherwise he would have been killed the next moment."
"Kill." Li Mu said coldly.
Su Dingfang was stunned and said: "He is just a child..."
Li Mu looked at him coldly and said: "If it's a baby, I won't kill him if he doesn't want to. But he is already nine years old. Children of this age know what hatred is, and keeping him alive will sooner or later be a disaster. Don't feel guilty.
When the Turks kill people, they do not distinguish between men, women, old and young. Look at the corpses under Qiuci City, and you still don’t understand?"
Su Dingfang nodded and said: "General, I understand, let's do it now." He made a gesture to his men in the distance, and a high-pitched scream rang out, and was no longer heard.
At this moment, Yaji screamed excitedly: "I found the old thing, the old thing is there!"
When everyone went out looking for a voice, they saw Yaji standing by the water bubble, jumping up and commanding a group of soldiers, surrounding a bush by the water, and then slowly narrowing the encirclement like trying to catch a turtle in a jar! Then, Yaji was seen shouting to stop the soldiers of the Tang army.
Action, he personally jumped into the bushes and picked up a dripping Tong'e!
It turned out that Tong'e heard her youngest son's screams and showed her weakness, which happened to be caught by Yaji who was searching nearby.
"Haha, old man, when you kicked me into the water, you didn't expect that I would pull you out of the water with my own hands!" Yaji's crazy laughter echoed over the oasis.
When Li Mu and Su Dingfang walked forward, they understood why they couldn't find Tong'e. There was a chaos in the camp yesterday. Tong'e had no way to go to the sky and no door, so he could only hide in the water. He hid in the bushes. Once someone approached,
Then the whole person sank into the water, leaving only a section of the reed pole breathing on the water.
Normally, this would have evaded the search, but Li Mu was cruel and killed his only surviving son. Humans are not grass and trees, how can we be ruthless? Tong'e heard the screams of her youngest son and failed to control her breathing at a steady pace.
, I choked on the water all of a sudden. The water surface bubbled up a few times as if someone farted underneath, and then Yaji discovered it.
Yaji proudly held down Tong'e, who was dripping with water, and ran to ask Li Mu for credit.
After filling her stomach with water, Tong'e saw clearly who had pulled her out. She was shocked and asked, "You're not dead?"
"Why, do you really want me to die?" Yaji looked at Tong'e bitterly and said with a ferocious smile: "Of course, if I die, no one will ever know about the scandalous things you have done!"
"Bastard!" Yaji immediately realized that Tang Jun's ability to find the typhoon shelter and himself was absolutely inseparable from him. He rushed forward, grabbed Yaji's collar and cursed: "Have you forgotten?
Who dug you out of the snowdrift and raised you up? Your life is mine, what's wrong with giving it back to me!"
Li Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he was afraid of such a situation.
"Old man, it was you who wanted me to die first! Did I ask you to save me?" Yaji opened Tong'e's fingers one by one and said coldly: "I also want to live. I have been a cow for you all these years.
Isn't being a horse enough to repay you?" Then he screamed loudly: "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. I learned from you!"
Tong'e was actually rendered speechless by the refutation. Her lips trembled for a while before she uttered: "What benefits did they give you?"
"Kill you and I will be the king of the Turks. Everything about you will be mine!" Yaji said proudly without even thinking about it.
"Okay, okay..." Tong'e looked at Yaji steadily. Suddenly, he pulled out a scimitar from nowhere and stabbed Yaji hard in the chest.
The dead can no longer die.
When Li Mu saw it, he thought to himself, "Yes, it will save trouble."
When Su Dingfang saw Tong'e drawing the sword, he immediately led people to protect Li Mu behind him. Seven or eight Tang knives were placed on Tong'e's neck. If he dared to move, his body would definitely be missing!
Unexpectedly, Tong'e was also a bachelor. She kept the scimitar where she was, and fell to her knees. She begged with snot and tears: "Please spare my life, Marshal, please spare your life..."
Including Li Mu, everyone present really didn't expect that Tong'e's bones were so soft. Although Li Mu also knew that this was probably his way of begging for a living, but after all, he was once a king, so this was too shameless!
All of a sudden, the hard-won victory seems to have lost some of its glory.
