Chapter 417: Three Thousand Battalions
At the brightly lit city gate, Chen Guang rode a horse and slowly rode through the corridor under the escort of the fang soldiers. Then he saw a neatly lined up camp of dead soldiers. In this battle, hundreds of slave soldiers died and dozens of minor injuries were injured. It can be said that he was a complete victory.
Looking at the Dead Soldiers Camp with a fresh look, Chen Guang rode his horse in front of them, and looked at the excited slave soldiers and whispered, "You are doing a good job of seizing the city today."
After receiving the praise from Chen Guang, each of the slaves showed a smile from the bottom of their hearts. There was nothing that could make them more happy than being recognized by General Shenweitian.
"Among you, there are Turks, Tuyuhun, Shatu, Tiel, Dangxiang, Qiang, your wives and daughters are insulted by the robbers, your relatives are killed, your home is destroyed, but you have become slaves of the robbers and are bullied and humiliated."
Chen Guang's words evoked painful memories of the slave soldiers. Everyone remembered the unbearable past. The joy of victory after seizing the city was instantly replaced by endless anger and hatred.
Seeing the slave soldiers in the Death Soldiers' camp instantly turning into evil ghosts eager for revenge, Chen Guang continued to whisper loudly, "The army of the traitors is now on the opposite bank of the Poyi River. In less than two days, they will arrive. Someone advised someone to cut off the bridge on the river, so that the traitors looked at the river and sighed. Therefore, the traitors in Lianyunbao were all given heads, and Nieduo City has now been taken down."
"They said we no longer need to fight the traitors to the end. It is an unprecedented skill to return to the court like this!"
Not only were the slave soldiers in the Dead Soldiers camp, but also the soldiers of the Thunder Ye Army around Chen Guang were also impressed. "But I don't want it!" Chen Guang shouted, "The thieves are cruel. They want to bury their thieves here under this city of Nieduo, so that they can all thieves to bury their bones here, so that they can know what the principles of heaven are."
"The tribes of many of you were once my vassal of the Tang Dynasty, so you were also people of the Tang Dynasty. If the thieves had not provoked wars and robbed everywhere, you should have been grazing cattle and sheep with your tribe members and taught your sons to ride horses and shoot arrows."
After sweeping over the camp of the Dead Soldiers, Chen Guang looked at the Han'er and the good children of the four towns, "And you, my Anxi Army has fought with the traitors for several years. Your fathers and uncles have all died at the hands of the traitors. I just ask you. Now the traitor army is right in front of you. You are willing to fight with me to the end until you kill all the traitors!"
"I hope to fight to the death with the Lord and kill all the thieves!"
The soldiers of the Shattered Ye Army all roared angrily. Just as Chen Guang said, the four towns of Anxi and Longyou Shuofang all had a deep feud with the Tubo people. During decades of tug-of-war between the Tang and the Tubo people, the blood left by the Tang soldiers who died in battle was enough to dye every inch of Anxi.
"The hatred and family hatred of these countries must be repaid even if they have been exhausted for ten lifetimes. Only when they kill all the thieves, destroy their country, and barbarize their ancestral temples can they be eliminated!"
Chen Guang looked at the shouting soldiers with a deep look, pressing his hands in vain until the soldiers calmed down, and then he looked at the team of the Dead Soldiers Camp, "From now on, you will be the three thousand battalions under your command. In this decisive battle with the thieves, you will be the army's selection of the front line, attacking the enemy's formation, fighting to the death, and not returning if you don't win, are you willing."
"I wish to die for the Lord!"
"I wish to die for General Shenweitian!"
"Kill all the thieves, and you will never give up!"
In the Death Soldiers' camp, the centurions who knew Tang Yan shouted in a mess, and then all the slaves shouted in a frenzy.
The Hu merchants were trembling not far away. They didn't expect that the general Shenweitian had just captured the city of Nieduo, and they wanted to wipe out the army of Tubo people who came to help the city. It was obvious that as long as they cut off the big vine bridge on the Yihe River in the city, they could easily obtain the merit of destroying the country. Isn't it good to return to Chang'an to receive the reward from the saints? Why did they have to continue fighting with the Tubo army?
As Chen Guang turned around, he rode his horse to the Hu Shang, whose face had changed drastically. "You have made great contributions to the capture of the city this time. I will reward you. In the next three years, you will be exempted from the commercial taxes that you have passed through Anxi. I will also let the escort agency escort you."
"Thank you, General Shenweitian!"
The Hu merchants knelt down on the ground. It was because this divine and powerful general was too powerful. The murderous words just now made them even more frightened.
"Get up, before the king's army destroys the traitor army, you can stay in the city with peace of mind."
As Chen Guang spoke, he was about to leave, but he saw someone in the guards behind Hu Shangs suddenly pushing away the Hu Shangs and stepped forward and shouting loudly, "Ashina Gray Hu, I am willing to die for General Shenweitian!"
With just this sentence, more than twenty guards from Tuqi Shi and Bahanna knelt down in front of Shen Guang, kowtowed with their foreheads, and responded loudly, "Please ask General Shenweitian to accept us."
Although they did not have a great grudge against the Tubo people, they were all fugitives whose tribes were annexed. Speaking of which, they were the same pitiful people as the slave soldiers in the Dead Soldiers camp, and they were unwilling to continue to live in such a daze.
"Do you know that when you join a certain command, you will fight the thief to the end. You may not be able to survive this battle at all. Wouldn't it be good to use the reward to find Hu Ji to have fun!"
Chen Guang looked at the Turkic man named Asina Gray Hu, and glanced at the guards kneeling on the ground and bowed their heads in the dust and asked in a deep voice.
"It is worth it to be able to serve the general even if he dies!"
Asina Grey Hu looked up and said, "He was also a hero in the clan, but until the betrayal of the Geluo people, all his wife and children died under the butcher's knife. He escaped by chance and lived like a walking corpse." But now he looked at the soldiers of the three thousand battalions and knew that he had another way of living.
"Where are you?"
Chen Guang looked at the other guards, and saw that they all stood up and raised their heads and said, "It is worth it to be able to serve the general!"
For these stray grassland warriors, they need a loyal master. Without a master, they are even a stray dog, a wild dog whose backbone has been broken, and they just live by the way.
"Get up and go to Sanqian Camp!"
"Thank you, Lord."
After Ashina Huihu and his companions stood up, they walked towards the Sanqian Camp opposite without looking back, which made their companions who were still standing behind the Hu merchants envious, but they no longer had the spirit of going to the command of General Shenweitian to fight against the Tubo people to make a future.
The Hu Shangs looked at the general Shenweitian who led his troops to the direction of the palace with a complicated expression. In their opinion, the general of the Tang Dynasty was the most deceptive devil in the world. Their best guards abandoned them and gave up money, wine and the most touching Hu Ji. In order to follow the general to fight against the Tubo people, they might not survive at all.
