There were 200,000 Turkic troops. Although this number was watery, there were still 140,000 to 150,000. Li Xiu had no idea about the army of this magnitude in advance. He thought that the Turkic people he saw on the north bank of the Wei River were all, but the fact was that it was just the Turkic army, at most about 50,000 to 60,000, and there were more Turkic troops behind it that had not arrived.

However, the Turkic army behind would never have the chance to reach the bank of the Weishui River again. Jie Li was bombed into the sky by a plot. In the end, he was not sure about his life and death. The front army was also defeated by the ambushed 20,000 troops. These defeated troops fled all the way and directly dispersed a lot of the rear army. However, some Turkic generals still tried to gather their subordinates to avoid being dispersed by the chaos in front.

However, at this moment, hundreds of giant monsters slowly rose on the banks of the Weishui River, rushing towards these Turks with their teeth and claws. Although the Turks were fierce, they were essentially a barbaric nomadic tribe and were very awe of ghosts and gods. So when they saw the monsters rushing towards them, they were all frightened and retreated repeatedly. In addition, the Tang army kept shouting that Jie Li was dead, which made the Turks' army even more shaken. As a result, they were chased by the Tang army, and Turkish corpses were everywhere on the road.

Those so-called monsters flying in the air are naturally hot air balloons, but Li Shimin asked someone to draw the airbags on them as monsters, and the wind direction was calculated in advance. So after the hot air balloon took off, it rushed towards the Turks. When it flew over the Turks, the hot air balloon began to throw lit tinned tinder oil tanks downwards. After landing, it was a sea of ​​fire. Originally, the best gunpowder weapons such as grenades were thrown, but unfortunately there was not enough gunpowder, so they could only use tinder oil.

After several steps, the Turks were naturally defeated. When Li Shimin saw this, he immediately set up a floating bridge to cross the Weishui River, and then personally directed the army to cover the killing. It seemed that he wanted to drive the Turks out of the Tang Dynasty directly. Li Xiu also went to the other side to check it out, but he saw that the explosion had become a big pit, surrounded by broken limbs and broken arms, and the intestines and internal organs were everywhere. There was an indescribable odor everywhere in the air, which made people feel vomited.

"Report to Li Jiji, the location has been found. Now the brothers are digging holes!" At this moment, a soldier ran over to report to Li Xiu that Li Shimin went to chase and kill the Turks, and Li Xiu took the initiative to stay and clean the battlefield. After all, he did not know military affairs and had used up gunpowder, so he did not follow him to join in the fun. If he was shot to death by a cold arrow on the battlefield, it would be unfair.

"Take me over!" Li Xiu immediately spoke when he heard the other party's report. The soldiers agreed and immediately took Li Xiu to the riverside. As a result, dozens of soldiers were digging here hard. This was the cave where several dead soldiers had hidden before. However, because of the previous explosion, the cave had also been shaken down. This can be seen from the collapse of the ground. At the same time, this also made Li Xiu's heart sank. The cave had collapsed. Can the people inside still be alive?

The cave was dug up quickly. Fortunately, the collapsed place was only one part of the cave. Although the cave that was actually hiding was full of collapsed soil, it was generally kept intact. However, the few dead men inside were all lying in the soil, with pale faces and bleeding from their seven orifices. I don’t know if it was death or life?

"Come out quickly and call me doctor!" Li Xiu was shocked when he saw the appearance of these dead soldiers and shouted loudly. Although he had guessed in advance that the situation of the dead soldiers in the cave was not good, after all, the explosion was not far from their cave. It was a blessing that they were not buried alive under the earthquake of the earth, but the impact they received inside was so great that it was enough to be fatal. This was also one of the reasons why Li Shimin arranged several dead soldiers.

The soldiers immediately lifted several people out in a row, and then a doctor came forward to take their pulses. But the doctor quickly shook his head and said, "No, I can't touch the pulse anymore, and I can't breathe anymore. I'd better prepare for their funeral!"

When they heard the doctor's words, the soldiers around them also showed regretful expressions, because they all knew that the Turkic people could be messed up in chaos before, and all the people in front of them were detonating gunpowder. If they were alive, it would definitely be a great achievement. In the future, they would win their wives and children in one fell swoop, but they died. Although the merit would fall on their family, this merit was exchanged for them with their lives.

Li Xiu also showed a disappointed expression when he heard this. Then he saw the doctor helping several dead soldiers to sort out their appearances. However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He quickly stepped forward, squatted beside a dead soldier and began to press his chest desperately, because he suddenly thought that after these dead soldiers were hit by a huge impact, they might just fall into a state of fake death. If they were to be honest, they might be able to survive.

The reason why Li Xiu made such a judgment was mainly because he found that when the doctor was helping these people with grooming, their bodies were very soft and their joints were very flexible. Especially when he squatted down and touched these people, he found that his body temperature was not very low, not as if he was already dead. In addition, when he was subjected to a huge shock wave, he was indeed likely to fall into fake death.

Seeing Li Xiu pressing the dead man's chest as if he was crazy, the soldiers around him couldn't help but look at each other. At this time, Li Xiu suddenly stopped and raised the other party's dismount, opening his trachea and preparing to do human breathing. He had training in this area before, but he was just about to get out of his mouth, but he was so smothered by the smell in the other party's mouth that he almost vomited out. I don't know how many years this guy hasn't brushed his teeth?

I really couldn't speak, but fortunately there were other people around me. At that moment, Li Xiu looked up and looked around, so he immediately pointed at a guy with a big waist and round waist and ordered: "You, come here quickly and help me blow into his mouth!"

"Me?" The guy pointed at by Li Xiu immediately said with a bitter face when he heard this, but he did not dare not ignore Li Xiu's orders. After all, the senior official position was to death, not to mention that Li Xiu's official position was more than the previous level.

In desperation, the other party had to come over and then blew into the other party's mouth as Li Xiu ordered. Looking at the two big men's mouth-to-mouth, everyone around them showed a look of disgust. Some people wanted to sneak away, worried about the next turn, but were curious about what Li Xiu was doing, so they were a little reluctant to let it go.

Li Xiu pressed the dead soldier's chest desperately, and the unlucky guy kept blowing into the other party's mouth. After a while, the guy who was already dead suddenly sat up and then made a violent cough, as if he was about to cough out his lungs. However, he collapsed again, but his chest was slumped in a regular manner, and it seemed that he had finally come back to life.

"That's great, let's continue!" Li Xiu saw that he saved one, and he was excited to command the unlucky guy to save another. As a result, this guy who saw the dead resurrected for a long time before he reacted. Then he stared at Li Xiu with a look of looking at the gods, his face full of fanatical worship. It was estimated that in his heart, Li Xiu became a living god who could bring the dead back to life.

There were five dead soldiers in total, but Li Xiu only saved two of them. The remaining three were really dead. No matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to resurrect the dead. In the end, he had to give up helplessly. However, this had already made the onlookers crazy. You must know that they were all people who put their heads on their belts and might fall on the battlefield one day. If they could deal with this living god, it would be a life that would be extra!

It was precisely with this idea that when Li Xiu gave up the treatment of the remaining dead people, the people around him immediately surrounded him, and they were all desperately showing their gratitude. However, at this moment, a stern voice came from behind him and said, "What are you doing? Have you cleaned the battlefield?"

Hearing this voice, Li Xiu turned his head and looked, but he actually saw Changsun Wuji, a white-faced and beardless guy sitting on the horse. When he saw Li Xiu, he was also stunned. Then he changed into a smile and said, "It turned out to be Li Jijiu. I wonder what you are doing, why did it attract so many people to watch?"

"Report to General Changsun, Li Jijiu just now actually rescued two dead brothers, that is, the brothers who had hidden in the cave to detonate gunpowder!" Before Li Xiu could speak, one of the generals excitedly stepped forward to report.

"Uh? Can dead people be saved?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at Li Xiudao with a shocked expression when he heard this.

"It's not dead people. They were just shocked and pretended to die. As long as they were rescued properly, they could still be saved. But there were three brothers who were really dead, and I couldn't do anything about it!" Li Xiu explained immediately, and then he looked at Changsun Wuji with a strange look and said, "Why is General Changsun coming back? I remember just now that it was you who commanded the ambushing army to defeat the Turks?"

Changsun Wuji had never appeared beside Li Shimin just now, mainly because he was in the Wei River River. After the gunpowder exploded, he commanded the ambush army to come out. Although he looked like a little white man, he was actually a versatile civil and military talent, and was deeply trusted by Li Shimin. Therefore, such an important battle can only be commanded by Changsun Wuji.

"Your Highness is preparing to drive the Turks out of the Tang Dynasty in one breath, but this is not a matter of one or two days, so I need to go to the rear to dispatch it. In addition, someone needs to take charge of the situation in Chang'an City!" Changsun Wuji got off the horse at this time, then drove away the others and smiled. He was completely impressed by Li Xiu's talent, so he was very polite in his words and deeds.

"So that's it!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this. It is probably only Changsun Wuji who could stabilize the situation in Chang'an after Li Shimin left Chang'an. No wonder Li Shimin later listed Changsun Wuji as the leader of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and he did have this qualification.

"By the way, is Jie Li dead or alive? We saw the Turks who seemed to have rescued a person suspected of Jie Li. It wouldn't be Jie Li really?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of a question at this time and asked hurriedly, if Jie Li was not dead, things might change.

When he mentioned this, Changsun Wuji's face immediately became gloomy. After a moment of silence, he said: "I was here at that time, and I saw more clearly than you. Those people were indeed Jie Li when they rescued, but I don't know whether he was dead or alive. But even if he was not dead, he would probably be seriously injured and would not recover in a short period of time. The reason why Your Highness personally directed the army to pursue him was to take advantage of the victory and beat the Turks out in one fell swoop, so as not to have any more variables!"

Li Xiu couldn't help but feel silent when he heard this. He was most worried about this situation before. After all, although the gunpowder exploded, its lethality was actually limited, and he didn't know how to explode and could not control the lethality of gunpowder. If Jie Li had better luck, he would probably escape.

While talking, I suddenly saw a special team walking down the battlefield. The Tang army was holding swords and arrows on both sides, and in the middle was a Turkish people with weapons and holding their heads in both hands. They all looked very embarrassed. Needless to ask, these must be the Turkic people captured just now.

"Report to the general, the last general escorts a total of 1,237 prisoners of war. How do you deal with it?" A general in the head came forward to ask Changsun Wuji for advice. Of course, there were more prisoners of war in this battle. In fact, there were more prisoners of war behind them. In addition, there were many injured Turks who were not qualified to be prisoners of war. Those who cleaned the battlefield would directly make up for a knife to send them on their way. After all, the Tang Dynasty did not have time to help them recover from their injuries and waste food.

"Send them to Chang'an to be imprisoned!" Changsun Wuji replied expressionlessly, but while he was speaking, he made a very obscure move to the general, which made the other party immediately understand. He turned around and loudly ordered the people behind him to escort the prisoners of war to the Weishui River, as if he was going to escort to Chang'an through a floating bridge.

Li Xiu also noticed Changsun Wuji's obscure hand gesture. He was about to ask him what it meant, but he saw that the general who was escorting prisoners of war just now suddenly ordered to take action after taking prisoners of war to the river. As a result, the Tang army escorted raised their waists and slashed them randomly. Before the Turks could react, they had already landed on the ground, and then the head was kicked into the river by someone.

Seeing this cruel scene, Li Xiu was also stunned, but Changsun Wuji smiled faintly. The Tang Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and there is no food to support these prisoners of war, and no one is going to guard them, so it is the most correct choice to deal with them directly.

After cleaning the battlefield, Changsun Wuji and Li Xiu rushed back to Chang'an City, stabilizing the situation in the city while waiting for news from Li Shimin. However, just a few days later, a bad news came.
