One hundred and seventieth chapter Mo Zheng gains and losses
When they returned to the military formation, the soldiers of the Yiwu Army saw Chen Guang and the more than 50 cavalry subordinates left beside him, and the horses they were holding were the bodies of the comrades who died in battle. After a brief silence, they cheered loudly.
"Han Langjun is mighty!"
Listening to the cheers coming from the front, Li Shouzhong was not jealous. This was the cheers and praise that Chen Guang deserved. It was such a direct place in the army.
If Chen Guang hadn't led his subordinates to fight to the death, he would have lost many more casualties. In other words, the soldiers of the front army all owed Chen Guang a lifetime.
According to the Tang Dynasty military law, the front team died in battle and the latter team Fang Ji did not stop the Turkic dead soldiers from tearing open the gap in the military formation. At least the ten teams of soldiers survived not many people.
When they returned to the formation, the Han'er and the Kucha Liang family who fell from the horse also came into the back of Chen Guang, with a full face full of pride.
"Governor, fortunately, I'm not disgraced, so Chen came to report his life."
Looking at Li Shouzhong coming down from the wooden platform to greet him, Chen Guang said in a deep voice, he did not mean to blame Li Shouzhong. This battle was originally something he wanted to follow and fight. On the battlefield, there was no eyebrow and life and death, who could he blame!
"Chen Lang, after this battle, whoever goes against Shen Lang in the future will be the enemy of our Yiwu army."
"The Governor said, let's make a deal with friends like Chen Lang."
Behind Li Shouzhong, the generals of the Yiwu Army all whispered loudly, who would not want to be friends with someone like Shen Guang. They are generous, rich and righteous, and so brave. They also have a glory on their faces when they say it out.
"Governor, please be polite."
Chen Guang looked at the enthusiastic Yiwu generals and knew that his battle was not in vain. At least if he did anything in Yizhou in the future, the Yiwu army would be his friend.
At this time, the sun was already high, and Li Shouzhong didn't say much, but asked Chen Guang to take the camp to rest. However, after a half-day battle, although the fiercest head momentum of the Turks was flattened, there was still a fierce battle to fight next. The Turks were not yet at the end of their journey, and they still had the power to fight again.
...
Compared with the high morale Iwu army, the atmosphere in the temporary camp of the Turkic army was depressed.
Ashinazhen looked around at the nobles and generals, knowing that they were frightened by the combat power of the Tang army. The five hundred dead soldiers selected were wiped out, and more than a thousand people were lost, but even the Tang army's formation was not broken.
"Everyone raised their heads, we haven't lost yet!"
"There are only a few Tang army people. Can we afford to die? Can they afford to die? Even if we change five, we can win this battle."
Ashina's real voice made the nobles and generals raise their heads, but they were not motivated by much morale. They could indeed afford it, but if five were replaced, they would win in the end, and there would be only a few thousand remaining soldiers left. What's the point?
"You are going to fight. Now that you are just frustrated, you will lose the courage. So why should you escape here with me? It wouldn't be better to be a dog for the Uighurs obediently."
Seeing this, Ashinazhen was furious. He fled from Chang'an City to the grassland for thousands of miles. Was it just to continue these so-called tribes?
"Secret Service, the Tang army's formation is strong, and even the dead soldiers can't tear them open. If we fight, we will only increase the loss..."
"If the dead soldiers can't escape, they will all dismount their horses and fight in the field. No matter how sharp the Tang army's crossbows are, the people who shoot archers will always be tired."
Ashina looked at the nobles who had been patting their chests two days ago and promised to fight to the death with all their lives. He knew that these people were still afraid of death, fearing that they would lose their troops and their only power.
Deep in his eyes, Ashina was really disappointed. He threw the hesitation in his heart into pieces. As long as these people were still there, even if he could make a way for the remaining troops, the Turks would not have any future. Maybe he shouldn't leave Chang'an City. Isn't it good to be his proton?
Thinking of this, Ashinazhen finally raised her hand, and then the fang soldiers and warriors who were impressed by him in various subordinates around him rushed out and captured the nobles.
"Secret Service, what are you doing?"
"Kill them all!"
Asina was really disdainful of explanation, and she was even more unwilling to talk to these dying people, so she just waved her hand and made a killing gesture.
"Asinazhen, you madman, you must die a bad death..."
"He is a spy sent by the Tang people. He is going to destroy the last descendants of our Turks!"
Before their death, the nobles wailed and cursed, but the warriors were indifferent, because Asina could really eat the same food and sleep on the same ground as them, but these nobles could still eat lambs and drink, sleep on the women they liked, and in their eyes, the so-called warriors were just dogs being ordered.
Blood splattered everywhere, and more than twenty nobles were chopped up. Ashin said to the fang soldiers, "Kill all their tribesmen and divide their property."
"Yes, Secret Service."
The fang soldiers shouted loudly, and then there was a bloody storm in the temporary camp. Seeing the high-ranking nobles and their relatives' minions being killed one after another, the Turks, who were originally depressed, recovered their fighting spirit again.
The animals owned by the nobles were slaughtered on the spot, and the large pots they had raised were thrown with beef and mutton. The poor herders who usually couldn't eat meat were each given a large bowl of meat and black salt. They swallowed them voraciously, and even if they choked, they still swallowed them like wild animals.
Everyone knows that they will continue to fight with the Tang army next, but at least they don’t have to be a starving ghost anymore.
Ashinazhen patrolled every part of the camp and told everyone that if they wanted to survive, they had to fight to the death. They had no way out and fought with the Tang army to the end. At worst, they would die. But if they escaped and fled back to the grassland, they would be a cattle and a horse for the Uighurs. The wife and daughter were abused and lived a life worse than death.
The movements in the Turkic camp were not hidden from Li Shouzhong. He looked as normal as he heard the scouts' reply, but he did not continue to line up outside the camp. Instead, the entire army held the camp. He did not need to fight the crazy Turkic people to the end for the so-called face.
"The whole army retreated to the camp."
"Governor, those Turkic barbarians are just at the end of their power, why should we be afraid of them?"
"Yes, Governor, Shen Langjun was so scared that the barbarians were so scared that we retreated like this, wouldn't it be..."
Hearing the words of the generals beside him, Li Shouzhong couldn't help but scold, "Is it the governor or one of you? I said, "Don't you understand the whole army retreated to the camp!"
Asannazhen, if you want to go all out and fight to the death, you have to see if someone gives this opportunity!
