Chapter 142: A Hundred Soldiers Died in Battle
Naturally, he wants to go, and Lee Seung-eun is a person who says whatever he wants.
It doesn't matter if you disobey the king's order or not. As the saying goes, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected.
Li Chengen said: "I can't leave, didn't I say that the Di tribe disturbed my northern border?
"The general is wise!"
The 300,000 soldiers of the Tiance battalion only listen to Li Chengen, even if Li Chengen betrays the Tang Dynasty one day, then the 300,000 troops will definitely follow him away, this is the charm of Li Chengen.
Of course, Li Chengen actually has a foolish and loyal side, but unfortunately if the Tang Dynasty really falls into the hands of Li Jiancheng in the future, he and his 300,000 soldiers and horses don't know where to go.
The Di are a relatively small tribe, but much larger than the Hmong, with a population of one million. There are two or three hundred thousand young and middle-aged people, and they retain their primitive customs, which are quite ferocious and barbaric.
When the Ogi stepped out of their world and looked outside, they immediately launched an invasion.
The place they invaded was the north of the Tang Dynasty, very close to the border of the Great Sui Dynasty, but the Di people chose to go south. First, they don't know that Datang is now the strongest country, and second, they are quite confident in themselves.
Or maybe they believe in a sect that wants them to invade the south.
If the ruling class of the Tang Dynasty knew about the sect they believed in, they would definitely be afraid of it, and sent a large army to encircle and suppress it, instead of Li Chengen's whim, and return to exterminate the Di tribe.
They believe in the Cardinal Religion, and once spent four years in Wude, so that the Tang Dynasty did not leave chickens and dogs, and the entire imperial capital was chaotic. At that time, the Cardinals were doing good deeds and spreading good reputations.
Later, however, it was discovered that this group of people spread evil thoughts, bewitched the common people, and even some officials joined this cult.
At that time, the kingdom of the Tang Dynasty was almost controlled by the Cardinal Sect, and it almost changed the dynasty.
However, the Cardinal Sect was exterminated by Li Shimin's troops, but the rest of the people went north, disappeared into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and even disappeared into this world, and no one could find them.
They hid in the Ogi tribe, hiding in the ancestral land of the Fenghua Valley where the Ogi tribe was located. This place no one has been able to find, the equivalent of the worldly sugar source, the legendary existence. Of course, it's not a legend, after all, it really exists.
The Di tribe originated from one of the Jiuli tribe, but unfortunately it naturally lost the glory of the ancient times.
When the Ogi tribe appeared, the five kingdoms actually didn't care, as long as they wanted, they could exterminate this tribe at any time.
Li Chengen didn't know that this was the biggest crisis he had encountered in his life, and it was also at this time that he had the supreme glory of his later life.
No matter which one it is, in fact, it is the people of the world who suffer the most.
Soldiers are also civilians, but they have to defend their homes and country. As for who is important to the country and the family, in fact, who can say clearly.
Yang Weiyang knew that after Li Chengen left, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was afraid of this general and admired at the same time.
Knowing that you can't do it, it's for the next step!
Knowing that you can do it, it is the best policy!
If you don't move like a mountain, it's the best policy!
From the sun in the sky, to the remnant sun remaining. Everyone was tired, and the people watching were numb.
Yang Weiyang ordered: "Mingjin retreats!"
No one doubted, and no one felt dissatisfied. Too many people died, too many people died miserably.
When the sound of retreating soldiers sounded, whether it was the surviving sons of the Great Sui Dynasty or the surviving sons of the Great Chu Dynasty, they almost sat on the ground limp...... There are enemies and people around the corpses. They didn't close their eyes, and they didn't blink their eyes.
What they fought for, what they lost their lives for. It's just for his own selfish desires, to say that it is to protect his family and defend the country, in fact, this is a real joke.
Meng Sangui is different from Yang Weiyang, he joined the battlefield in person, and he can't remember how many people he killed and how many injuries he suffered.
The serious one is a knife in the back, and the bone is deeply visible. and a knife in his left shoulder, which almost cut off his arm. But Meng Sangui survived.
When he heard that the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty had retreated, Meng Sangui fainted directly on the battlefield.
"General!"
"Help the general back to the camp!"
Yang Weiyang turned his head and glanced at Meng Sangui, who had lost his strength far away, and exclaimed: "This is a real warrior!"
Meng Sangui fainted, but he was out of strength, and his injuries were not fatal.
The moment Yang Weiyang returned to the camp, he immediately wrote a secret letter.
"Someone, send this secret letter to the Dachu camp immediately!"
"No!"
Yang Weiyang looked at the generals who came in very late and asked, "How is the situation!"
The generals naturally included the three commanders of the 300,000-strong army sent by Yang Guang, who were also covered in blood, and they had not yet had time to cleanse them.
Hu Che, a veteran, said: "Thirty-six thousand and eighty-one sons have been lost, including six captains and one commander, this is the list. ”
Yang Weiyang took the list with trembling hands, and there were tears in his eyes that could not be hidden. On the stone tablet of the White Emperor City, there are so many more names again. Their parents will lose their sons, and their wives will lose their husbands. The child loses his father.
Yang Weiyang's eyes looked at the three generals again, and the three generals looked ashamed, but just reported a number to Yang Weiyang: "More than 80,000 sons and daughters died!"
Yang Weiyang sat quietly in his seat and did not speak, although these 300,000 people were not good at the beginning, but they were all sons of the Great Sui Dynasty, and after so many deaths, Yang Weiyang not only felt the cruelty of the war, but also felt the heartache.
"Take good care of the families of these people, and no matter what difficulties they have, they can let the people of the palace report them. ”
Their faces were also full of bitterness, but this is war, and war will kill people. If there are no dead people, then what is it called war, that is called a family, and the two countries have lost two or three hundred thousand people at once, and they have disappeared forever.
"Go down first, let me be quiet!"
One by one, they clenched their fists and then retreated.
The three generals from the capital realized that their so-called most elite troops were nothing compared to the Xishu infantry. The heart that has always wanted to compete with the Xishu infantry has long been consumed on the battlefield.
Although Yang Weiyang wants to be quiet at the moment, he is also waiting for news.
The two armies were fighting, and the camps were pushed forward against each other. So the reunion was not far away, and the soldiers sent out by Yang Weiyang also returned soon.
"Boss, this is a letter from the old general Chu Guixiong of Great Chu!"
Yang Weiyang opened the letter and looked at it, and the moment he nodded, his eyes were still extremely gloomy.
"Come, send a thousand elite soldiers, bring our people back, and bury them well!"
"Wait, tell the three generals, and let them send a thousand elite soldiers to accompany them and bring back the bodies of their own soldiers. ”
"Stand down!"
