It can be seen that this group of Tuyuhun's cavalry is very powerful. If there is no variable like Li Chongyi, this battle would be really difficult to predict. The strength of both sides is only half a catty. Even if the Tang Dynasty can win, it will have to be
A tragic victory, not the complete victory now.
Li Mu watched from the side. Although he didn't understand, he gradually saw some tricks.
Li Chongyi is brave enough for thousands of people, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that he alone can influence the situation of the battle. If it is a battle involving tens of thousands of people, one person's ability is limited by the attack range and activity area.
The value is very small. Moreover, Li Chongyi still has a problem that needs to be solved urgently. He has never had a suitable mount.
Li Chongyi is eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. Using Li Mu's previous life standards, he is at least about 2.4 meters tall and weighs more than 300 kilograms. With such a weight, even the best horse cannot carry him for long.
Therefore, when he is on a long-distance attack, he has to constantly change horses. And this is even more true when fighting. If a horse can carry him to fight for a quarter of an hour, it is already very remarkable. The longer the time, the more powerful the horse will be.
If the horse is exhausted, the horse must be replaced immediately, otherwise the horse will be exhausted in a few minutes.
Li Chongyi had just snatched a horse, but now the second horse was useless, but he was obviously prepared for it. He stopped riding and stood on the ground as an infantry to fight the cavalry, without losing the slightest bit.
If we use game terminology, Li Chongyi is now a humanoid boss with no visible level. He is surrounded by minions who beat him. The minions beat him and lose a little blood. If he touches one, he will be instantly killed.
Humans can be killed instantly, and so can horses. With ten thousand people rushing to kill, one Li Chongyi may not be able to stir up much trouble, but in a small-scale battle, when he carves a hole in the enemy's camp, no one can stop his edge.
When Li Chongyi just rushed in, Tuyuhun's cavalry formation was in chaos. In cavalry fighting, the first priority is formation. If the formation is in chaos, it will not be able to charge. The cavalry that cannot charge will not be much better than the infantry.
By the time Su Dingfang charges forward with his men and horses, the momentum has been established. How can they still be their opponents despite the ebb and flow?
An evenly matched battle turned into a one-sided massacre. At the final count, the Tang army had only six dead and twelve wounded, while the other side had less than twenty alive, and the rest were all dead.
.
Fortunately, those killed by Su Dingfang and others had at least intact corpses. However, most of those killed by Li Chongyi were broken into two parts, with their intestines and stomachs scattered on the ground. Li Mu was rushed by the blood and could not bear it for an instant.
He stopped, bent over and started retching, but Ni Zhe next to him looked like he had seen the big world, and was in the mood to count the number of captives, looking at ease.
"Old man, you make me lose face, why can't you vomit twice?"
"What am I vomiting for? I've been used to it since I was a child...Zhuluhou, can I discuss it with you? You can leave your brother to me. If I become a khan, I will marry my daughter to him.
, when I die, he will be the leader of the Western Turks."
"Put away your calculations," Li Mu glanced at Ni Shu. Apart from his appearance, this guy didn't look like a Western Turk at all. His Guanzhong dialect was a bit more authentic than his own: "You marry your daughter off?"
Give it to my brother, and he will become your son-in-law. If one day, the Western Turks are at odds with the Tang Dynasty again, do you want us brothers to kill each other?"
"I can swear to the Immortal Heaven that the Western Turks will embrace the Tang Dynasty for generations to come."
"Okay," Li Mu pulled Ni She's hand down and said, "Don't swear any more. You Turks swearing is just like farting. How many of you can do it? We are just a temporary
Allies, when the crisis is over, you can do whatever you like. If you feel you can do it in a few years, let's fight again. What, do you still think you can win?"
"Alas..." Ni Shu sighed and fell silent. After a while, Ni Shu said again: "Actually, I am not much different in age from your Majesty, Emperor Tang. Don't always call me old man."
"Oh?" Li Mu looked Ni She up and down and said, "You have a white beard. You said you are not much older. Isn't it a shame to lie like this?"
"I'm really not that old. My beard is gray because I'm so anxious." Seeing that Li Mu didn't believe him at all, Ni She smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll explain to you what this does. What do you want to think?"
Just think about it. By the way, I have something to ask you. Are you married? I have a daughter."
"A real wife with three beautiful concubines, please keep your daughter. I have no leisure time." Li Mu choked to death at Ni Shuo's words. Seeing that the battlefield in front was almost cleaned, he waved to Li Chongyi, who held the ax behind his back.
, strode over, and the smell of blood on his body made Li Mu want to vomit again.
"Big man, you have a problem now,"
Li Chongyi's eyes gradually recovered from the blood red color, and he said blankly: "Brother, what's wrong with me?"
"Killing is not a game, it is a human life. If you can avoid killing, then don't kill. If you can save a life, it is a life."
"But big brother"
"Don't refute me, I'm just asking you, do you still listen to what the elder brother said?"
Li Chongyi did not hesitate at all: "Listen!"
"That's right, tell them to be smart and take the horses, weapons and valuables with them, and throw the rest away to feed the wild wolves. We have to go back quickly, it's going to be too late."
As they were talking, smoke and dust billowed in the east, and the Tang army who came to meet them had already arrived. Li Mu asked them to come over and help clean the battlefield together, and then they got together and rushed towards Dingxiang!
…
After hearing the news that Li Mu had escaped, Zhang Tianai immediately rushed to the Tang Army camp and waited for Li Mu to return. Because he didn't know which way and direction Li Mu came back from, Zhang Tianai had to wait at the gate of the camp while the horses came back and forth.
, wanting to discover Li Mu's traces as soon as possible. The same goes for Li Siwen. If Zhang Tianai is a stone for watching his husband, then Li Siwen is a stone for watching his brother. He hopes that Li Mu can have the teleportation technique and appear immediately.
in front of him.
At the same time, in Dingxiang City, Wang Ou also received news that Li Mu had escaped from trouble. In the past few days, Dingxiang City was much more prosperous than in the past, because suddenly a war was about to start, so many people who should have set out early
Many merchants were stranded in Dingxiang, all the inns and taverns were full, the city could not provide food for so many people, and food stalls were set up on the streets.
Since the city of Dingxiang is newly built, it was completely rebuilt from scratch at the beginning. Many of the shortcomings of the original Dingxiang city have been improved, and it is now in a "little Chang'an" state. Wang Ou stood on this street
, as if seeing Pingkangfang, and thinking of all the things in Lichun Courtyard, I feel warm and sad at the same time.
She kind of wanted to leave, because she had no intention of meeting Li Mu again. But she couldn't bear to leave. Who knows if there will be another time if we don't meet again. Sometimes things in the world can happen in the blink of an eye.
lifetime.
…
When the sky was dark, Li Mu finally arrived at the Tang Army camp. It was still some distance away from Dingxiang, but it was very close to Gaochang. Gaochang was on the left, and Zhangjiaji was not far ahead on the right.
A little northwest, entering the desert, and walking a little further is the Camel Valley.
"Husband!"
From a distance, Li Mu heard Zhang Tianai's shouts. He was also very happy and rushed forward. He wanted to open his arms and hug the person tightly, but before he could hug the person, his legs kicked him over first. Li Mu was miserable.
With a cry, he fell from the horse. Zhang Tianai immediately jumped off the horse and pressed Li Mu under him. He kept beating Li Mu's chest with his "little fists", like beating a drum. If he hadn't had magical power to protect his body, this time
It must be broken.
Although it didn't hurt very much, Li Mu still pretended to be in pain. It was impossible for Zhang Tianai to really hit him, so she stopped hitting him when she saw him like this, and threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly.
Li Mu was beaten by this savage girlfriend a long time ago. Although his kung fu is much better than Zhang Tianxi's now, he has no desire to resist. Isn't it normal for his own woman to hit him twice?
"I thought you were dead." Zhang Tianai held back his mouth and looked like he was about to cry. He looked at Li Mu steadily. Li Mu smiled helplessly and said: "I didn't get much hurt outside, but I can't beat you.
Qing... isn't it just that we are getting married a few days late? Why are you so anxious? You don't know what I am capable of, who can kill me?"
As he spoke, Li Mu slapped the ground hard and his body rose up. Zhang Tianai didn't expect that Li Mu had such a hand at all, and said in surprise: "You"
"There is a chance, but there is nothing we can do about it. Now your man has mastered unparalleled martial arts."
"You are trying to be mysterious again." How can Zhang Tianai believe that he has peerless martial arts? If he is so easy to practice, then just anyone in this world would be an expert.
"Kiss me first," Li Mu pouted and went after Zhang Tianai's little mouth. Before he could kiss her, a cry came from far and near: "Brother"
Li Mu ducked out of the way, but Li Siwen jumped in the air and hit the horse's belly. The horse looked back at him, raised its hoof, and was so frightened that Li Siwen quickly turned around and ran away.
"I'm so excited, can you be more steady?"
"Brother, I'm useless, I'm useless, I..." Li Siwen grabbed Li Mu's hand and just kept mumbling that he was useless. Li Mu became irritated and patted his head and said: "You are useless, what should I do?
My brother? People are all useful, it just depends on where they are used. Let alone people, even a pile of cow dung can nourish a field of crops. How can you be so presumptuous about yourself?"
"Uh..." Li Siwen was stunned and said: "Brother, when you say this, I, I don't know if you are comforting me or scolding me, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are fine, you can scold me for a year
, I will be happy to listen to you for ten years."
"Too disgusting." Li Mu pushed Li Siwen away, and just as Hou Junji and others arrived at the camp gate, Li Mu hurriedly saluted and said: "Father, General Hou, I'm really sorry for bothering you to come over."
"It's not just for you," Li Ji said directly without so many polite words: "The Western Turks are marching eastward with great momentum. It seems that they are determined to win. And yesterday, we received news that Tuyuhun, Tubo, Xue Yantuo, etc. are all in
Waiting for the opportunity to act, Datang is facing a very difficult situation now."
"Oh?" Li Mu frowned slightly. Li Ji wanted to say more, but Li Siwen interrupted: "Dad, the eldest brother just came back. You should let him rest for a night. If there is anything, can't we discuss it tomorrow?"
"You have no right to speak." Li Ji choked Li Siwen back and continued to speak, but saw Hou Junji keep winking. When Li Ji was stunned, Hou Junji had already grabbed Li Mu's arm.
Said: "My nephew, the military situation is urgent now. You can rest later. I have something that I urgently need you to help me find a solution for."
Li Ji immediately understood what Hou Junji meant, and without saying anything else, he waved his hand and asked someone to pull Li Siwen away. Li Mu also patted the back of Zhang Tianai's hand, motioned her to wait, and followed Li Ji and Hou Junji in.
Big account.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
"What?!" Li Mu's eyes widened and he said, "Dead, or poisoned?"
Hou Junji patted his thigh and said, "Isn't that right? My recorder who joined the army was poisoned to death. If I know who sent him to harm me, Zhang Yi, I will crush his bones and raise him to ashes."
No. I’ve already asked Babai Li to send a message back as soon as possible to arrest all Zhang Yi’s family members. I want to see if he doesn’t even want his family anymore.”
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "General, this is unnecessary. Since this person can do such a thing, there must be a way out, and he can't be caught." Li Mu frowned and said, "I'm just wondering why he did this.
What are the benefits of doing this? In other words, who will benefit from it? "
Hou Junji also said: "That's right, who will benefit from it!"
Only Li Ji didn't speak. He pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking about. Seeing that he didn't speak, Hou Junji didn't ask him. He just asked Li Mu: "My dear nephew, you can't ignore me. In the final analysis this time, I
I am also here on your Majesty's order, so you can't ignore me."
"Why don't you ignore it? Of course you do!" Li Mu said with a smile: "Is that Ju Zhisheng really in mourning?"
"Yeah!" Hou Junji nodded heavily and said, "It's true that he is mourning. This kid is also a beast. His father is not dead yet, so he is mourning first. He is not the son of a human being!"
", you can't say that." Li Mu stopped for a moment and said, "Isn't this very good? The Tang army asked King Gaochang to explain the disappearance of Zhuluhou, but Prince Gaochang conspired to usurp the throne. King Gaochang saw that his own son was so unfilial.
Ni, he was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood and died suddenly. We, the Tang Dynasty, are the masters of kings, so it is unjust to attack him. Prince Ju Zhisheng of Gaochang is unfaithful, filial, benevolent and unjust, so he should be attacked. The general should order the troops overnight and send them off to fight.
I wrote the letter to the city and agreed to have a showdown outside Gaochang City at noon tomorrow. Only in this way can I show my invincible magnanimity as a benevolent man of the Tang Dynasty."
Hou Junji was dumbfounded, and so was Li Ji. Both of them had been in the military for half their lives, but this was the first time they had seen such a person who confuses right and wrong.
