Chapter 665: A rake
It can be seen that the strength of this group of Tuyuhun cavalry is not bad, and if there is no variable such as Li Chongyi, this battle is really difficult to say. The strength of the two sides is also between half a catty and eight taels, and even if Datang can win, it must be a miserable victory, not a complete victory now.
Li Mu watched from the side, although he didn't understand, but he gradually saw a little bit of the doorway.
Li Chongyi has the courage of ten thousand people, but it is still an exaggeration to say that he can control the battle situation alone. If it is a battle of 10,000 people, a person's ability is limited by the attack range and activity area, and the value that can be reflected is very small. And Li Chongyi has another problem that needs to be solved urgently, he has not had a suitable mount.
Li Chongyi is eight feet tall, with a big waist and a round waist, according to the measurement standards of Li Mu's previous life, he is at least about two meters four and weighs more than three hundred pounds, such a weight, even if it is the best good horse, it will not be able to carry him for long, so when he is running for a long time, he has to keep changing horses. And when fighting, it is even more so, a horse can carry him for a quarter of an hour, it is already very remarkable, no matter how long it is, the horse will be exhausted, at this time the horse must be replaced immediately, otherwise in a few minutes, the horse will be exhausted to death.
Li Chongyi had already snatched a horse just now, but now this second horse is not good, but obviously he has been prepared, and he will not ride the horse directly, and stand on the ground as a foot soldier to fight with the cavalry, and he will not fall behind at all. If you use game terminology, Li Chongyi is now a humanoid boss who can't see the level, and the people around him are all small soldiers, and the small soldiers beat him and drop a little blood, and when he touches one, it will be killed directly.
People are instant kills, and horses are also instant kills. Ten thousand people rushed to kill, and one Li Chongyi may not be able to stir up much turmoil, but in a small-scale battle, no one can stop his edge in the enemy camp.
When Li Chongyi just rushed in, Tuyuhun's cavalry formation was chaotic, and the cavalry battle, the first thing was the formation, and when the formation was chaotic, it couldn't charge, and the cavalry that couldn't charge up was not much more powerful than the foot soldiers. When Su Dingfang charged over with his men and horses, his momentum had been achieved, and under the advantages of one and the other, where would they still be opponents?
A close battle turned into a one-sided slaughter. At the time of the final count, only six were dead and twelve wounded on the Tang army's side, while there were less than twenty alive on the opposite side, and the rest were all dead.
It is good to say that there is at least a whole corpse killed by Su Dingfang and others, and most of the people who died in the hands of Li Chongyi were broken into two, and their intestines were scattered all over the ground, Li Mu was rushed by the bloody gas, and he couldn't bear it in an instant, and bent over and retched, but it was the mud next to him, who looked like he had seen the world, and was in the mood to count how many captives there were, and he looked leisurely.
"I said, old man, you look like I'm so faceless, can't you spit twice?"
"What am I throwing up? I've been used to seeing it since I was a child...... Zhuluhou, can I discuss with you, you leave you to me, this brother, if I become a khan, I will marry my daughter to him, and when I die, he will be the lord of the Western Turks. β
"Put away your abacus," Li Mu glanced at the mud, this guy, except for his appearance, does not look like a Western Turk person at all, his Guanzhong dialect is a little more authentic than himself: "You marry your daughter to my brother, my brother will become your son-in-law, and if one day, the Western Turks will be at odds with the Tang Dynasty again, do you want our brothers to kill each other?" β
"I can swear to Changshengtian that the Western Turks are attached to the Tang Dynasty, and they will be from generation to generation-"
"Okay," Li Mu pulled down the mud man's hand and said, "Don't swear anything, you Turks swear like a fart, how many can you do?" Let's be a temporary ally, when the crisis is resolved, you can do whatever you like, if you think you can do it in a few years, let's fight again, what, do you still think you can win? β
"Alas......" Ni Xiao sighed, and after a while, Ni Xiao said again: "Actually, I am not a few years old with Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, don't always call me an old man." β
"Oh?" Li Mu looked the mud up and down, and said, "Just like your beard, you say that you are not a few years older, isn't it a shame to lie like this?" β
"I'm really not a few years older, my beard is gray because I'm in a hurry-" Seeing that Li Mu didn't believe it at all, Ni Yi smiled and said, "Forget it, explain to you what this does, you can think whatever you want." Hey, by the way, I have something to ask you, are you married? I have a daughterβ"
"A wife and a beautiful concubine, keep your daughter, Lao Tzu has no leisure." Li Mu choked to death on the words of the mud, and when he saw that the battlefield in front of him was almost cleaned, he beckoned to Li Chongyi, Li Chongyi pinned the axe behind him, and strode over, and the smell of blood on his body made Li Mu want to vomit again.
"Big man, you're having a problem right now."
Li Chongyi's eyes gradually recovered from blood red, and he said blankly: "Big brother, what's wrong with me?" β
"Killing is not a game, it is a human life. If you can't kill, you won't kill, and if you can save a life, it's a life."
"But big brotherβ"
"Don't refute me, I'll ask you, what the eldest brother said, don't you listen to it?"
Li Chongyi did not hesitate at all: "Listen! β
"Okay, let them be quick, take with them the horses and the blades, and all that is valuable, and throw the rest to the wolves." We've got to get back quickly, it's going to be too late. β
As he was talking, smoke and dust were billowing from the east, and the Tang army who came to meet him had arrived. Li Mu asked them to come over and help clean up the battlefield together, and then make a place and rush towards Dingxiang!
β¦β¦
Hearing the news that Li Mu had been freed, Zhang Tianai immediately rushed to the Tang army camp and waited for Li Mu to come back. Because he didn't know which way Li Mu came back from that road, Zhang Tianai had to wait at the gate of the camp, and the horses walked back and forth, wanting to find Li Mu's trace at the first time. Li Siwen is the same, if Zhang Tianai is a Wangfu Stone, then Li Siwen is a Wangfu Stone, he hopes that Li Mu can have the technique of teleportation, and he will appear in front of him immediately.
At the same time, in Dingxiang City, Wang Ou also received the news that Li Mu was out of trouble. Dingxiang City in the past few days is much more prosperous than in the past, because suddenly a big war is about to start, resulting in many businessmen who should have been on the road early to stay in Dingxiang, the inn foot shop is all full, the city can not provide so many people's food, and the food stalls on the street are set up.
The city of Dingxiang, because it is newly built, was completely pushed back at the beginning of its establishment. Many of the drawbacks of the original Dingxiang City have been improved, and it is like a 'little Chang'an' state. Wang Ou stood on this street, as if he saw Pingkangfang, and thought of all kinds of things in Lichun Courtyard, and his heart was both warm and sad.
She wanted to leave a little, because she didn't plan to meet Li Mu again. But she was reluctant to leave, who knows if she won't see her this time, and if there will be a next time. Things in the world, sometimes, are a lifetime in the blink of an eye.
β¦β¦
When it was dark, Li Mu finally arrived at the Tang army camp. There is still a distance from Dingxiang, but it is close to Gaochang. On the left is Gaochang, not far from the right is Zhangjiaji, a little further northwest, into the desert, and then walk a little way, is the camel valley.
"Husband!"
Far away, Li Mu heard Zhang Tianai's shout, he was also very happy, urging the horse forward, I wanted to open my arms and hug tightly, but before I could hug anyone, my leg kicked over first, Li Mu screamed, fell off the horse, Zhang Tianai immediately jumped off the horse, pressed Li Mu under him, and beat Li Mu's chest with a small fist, like a drum. If he hadn't had the magic power to protect his body now, he would have to break a bone this time.
Although it didn't hurt very much, Li Mu still pretended to be in pain. Zhang Tianai couldn't really beat him, so he stopped beating him when he saw him like this, threw himself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Li Mu has long been subdued by this savage girlfriend, although his current kung fu is much more hobby than Zhang Tian, but he has no heart to resist, his own woman, beating himself twice, isn't it normal.
"I thought you were dead." Zhang Tianai held his mouth, looking like he was about to cry, and looked at Li Mu fixedly. Li Mu smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't suffer much injury outside, but I didn't beat you lightly...... Isn't it just a few days late to get married, as for being in such a hurry? You don't know what I'm capable of, who can kill me? β
Saying that, Li Mu slapped the ground hard, his body rose up, Zhang Tianai didn't expect Li Mu to have this hand at all, and said in surprise: "You-"
"There is an adventure, there is no way, now your man has practiced peerless martial arts."
"It's a mystery again." Where is Zhang Tianai's trust, peerless martial arts? If it's so easy to practice, it's a master in this world.
"Kiss first," Li Mu pouted to chase after Zhang Tianai's little mouth, and before he could kiss him, a shout came from far and near: "Big brother-"
Li Mu dodged away, Li Siwen pounced in the air and hit the horse's belly, the horse looked back at him, raised his hooves, and frightened Li Siwen to quickly turn around and run.
"Excited, can you kid be a little more steady?"
"Big brother, I'm useless, I'm useless, I'm ......" Li Siwen grabbed Li Mu's hand, just thinking that he was useless, Li Mu was irritable when he heard it, patted him on the head, and said: "You are useless, how do you do my brother?" People are useful, but where is the use, not to mention people, even a lump of cow dung can nourish a crop, how can you be so arrogant? β
"Uh......" Li Siwen was stunned and said: "Big 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, even if you scold me for a year or ten years, I am willing to listen." β
"It's too crooked." Li Mu pushed Li Siwen away, and just as Hou Junji and others also came to the gate of the camp, Li Mu hurriedly saluted and said, "Father-in-law, General Hou, it's really a shame to bother you to come over." β
"It's not just for you," Li Ji didn't have so many polite words, and said directly: "The Western Turks are advancing eastward, and it seems that they are determined to win, and yesterday I received news that Tuyuhun, Tubo, Xue Yantuo, etc., are all waiting for an opportunity to move, and the situation that Datang is facing now is very tricky." β
"Oh?" Li Mu's brows furrowed slightly, Li Ji wanted to say more, Li Siwen interjected: "Dad, the eldest brother just came back, why don't you let him rest for one night, what's the matter, can't we discuss it tomorrow?" β
"It's not your part in talking." Li Ji choked Li Siwen back, and wanted to continue, but seeing Hou Junji's eyes constantly, Li Ji was stunned, Hou Junji had already grabbed Li Mu's arm, and said: "Nephew Xian, now that the military situation is urgent, rest and rest later, I have a matter, I urgently need you to help me find a way." β
Li Ji immediately understood what Hou Junji meant, didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and asked Li Siwen to pull away, Li Mu also patted the back of Zhang Tianai's hand, signaled her to wait, and followed Li Ji and Hou Junji into the big tent.
β¦β¦
A quarter of an hour later.
"What?!" Li Mu's eyes widened and said, "Dead, or poisoned?" β
Hou Junji patted his thigh and said: "Isn't it, it's dead, or my record joined the army and poisoned him, this Zhang Yi, if I let me know who sent him to harm me, I have to crush him to ashes." I have already sent a message back to Zhang Yi for 800 miles to arrest all the family members of Zhang Yi's house, and I want to see if he doesn't even want his family. β
Li Mu smiled bitterly: "The general has done this too much, since this person can do such a thing, there must be a way back, and he can't catch anyone," Li Mu frowned, and said, "It's just strange, why did he do this?" What are the benefits of doing so? Or rather, who will benefit? β
Hou Junji also said: "That's right, who will be good!" β
Only Li Ji didn't speak, he pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking. Hou Junji didn't speak when he saw him, and he didn't ask him, just looked for Li Mu: "Virtuous nephew, you can't ignore me, this time, in the end, I am also on the orders of His Majesty, for your business, you can't ignore me." β
"Why don't you care? Of course! Li Mu smiled and groaned: "That Ju Zhisheng is really mourned? β
"Hmm!" Hou Junji nodded heavily and said: "It's indeed a funeral, this kid is also a brute, his father hasn't died yet, he will be mourned first, not a son of man!" β
"Well, you can't say that." Li Mu blocked for a moment and said, "Isn't this good?" Tang Jun asked King Gaochang to explain the disappearance of the Marquis of Zhulu, but Prince Gaochang conspired to usurp the throne, King Gaochang saw that his own son was so unfilial and rebellious, so angry that he vomited blood and died violently. The prince of Gaochang Ju Zhisheng, disloyal, unfilial piety, unkind and unjust, should be killed, the general should order the school overnight, send the war book to the city, and agree to fight outside the city at noon tomorrow, so as to reflect the invincible temperament of my Tang Dynasty. β
Hou Junji was stupid, and Li Ji was stupid. Both of them are half-life characters, but it is the first time they have seen such a black and white character upside down.
It's a talent!
