Chapter 1025: Soft Bones
The soldiers of the Tang army swung their swords on their horses to split the camp tent, and then mercilessly slashed and slaughtered the Turks who were snoring like thunder! Blood splattered and stained the broken tent red! I don't know how many Turks were directly killed in their sleep, and only then did someone suddenly wake up and see the Tang Army's saber slashing towards them, their first reaction was that they were dreaming!
Tang Jun didn't care if they dreamed or not, he cut off their heads with a knife and let them continue to sleep peacefully and forever!
It was a massacre that was even more pure than it was at the time of the Tamu River, and at least once, the Turks still had weapons in their hands and horses under their crotches, and they were still sane. This time, they were empty-handed, dazed, and lying on the ground for the Tang army to slaughter...... Some cavalrymen didn't even bend down and swing their swords, but trampled them down with the iron hooves of their horses, and every time they could step on a Turk, a Turk with a rotten stomach and a burst of brains, killing faster than with a blade......
The Turks couldn't figure out how the Tang army could cross the vast desert and appear in front of them in a sandstorm.
The camp tent that was first attacked by the Tang army, almost no Turks could escape from the tent, and they were all wiped out in the tent. The Turks inside were in better condition, and many ran out barefoot and with knives, but to no avail...... Although the Turks stood there, holding their swords, they all felt top-heavy, and it was difficult to walk, and everything was ghosted, which was the result of a hangover!
In front of the heavily armed and murderous Tang Army iron cavalry, they had no power to resist, and they were beheaded under their horses!
In the blink of an eye, the Turkic camp had been swept by more than half of the Tang army. The shouts of killing and screaming completely overshadowed the sound of wind and sand in the sky!
In the camp, which had not yet been patronized by the Tang army, the Turks finally had time to ride their war horses and ...... desperately Run around!
In front of the Tang Army, which descended from the sky, the Turks completely lost their courage and only thought about running away quickly, but where did the Tang Army give them a chance? A typhoon shelter has long been encircled, and wherever the Turks flee, they will be stopped by the Tang army, and there is no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, so they can only dismount and kneel and surrender.
But the Tang army chased them all the way, and after a lot of hardships and deaths, the accumulated grievances had already exploded, where was they willing to accept their surrender, and still ruthlessly waved their sabers, slashing and killing those Turks who were kneeling on the ground!
The killing lasted for half an hour, and the Turks in the camp were killed and wounded, and the shouts of killing finally subsided......
At this time, the sandstorm that had raged for two whole days gradually subsided, the sky was blue again, and the yellow sand and dust settled......
Li Mu didn't pay attention to the battle at all, because as long as his army could appear here, it would definitely be a complete victory!
He only cares about one thing at the moment, and that is that he can't let Tong'e escape anymore!
However, he was afraid of what would come, and the battle situation was a little settled, so Su Ding personally led his men and horses to search for Tong'e, but after searching all over the camp, there was no trace of him......
"Can you run this?" Su Dingfang replied to Li Mu with an incredible face: "Our people are surrounded by iron buckets, and flies can't fly out!" ”
"It stands to reason that this is ......" Li Mu frowned, last night he took his personal guards did not participate in the battle, and wandered around, just to prevent Tong'e from escaping, but it is also difficult to protect, this oasis still has a secret passage, after all, it is Tong'e's lair, and it is normal to have a preparation.
Su Dingfang shook his head again and again: "In this vast desert, where can he escape?" Did he put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier and mingle in the pile of dead? ”
"Find it," Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to dig him out!" "Although the Turkic army was completely annihilated, if Tong'e could not be found, this victory would be greatly reduced. Although the Turks are defeated, they are not extinct, there are still hundreds of thousands of Turkic people in the steppe Gobi, their relatives are dead, the hatred will continue, and with people like Tong'e in the lead, sooner or later it will be a scourge.
"Yes!" Su Dingfang also knew the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly sent someone to start a second search.
Knowing that Tong'e was not found, Yaji came over and took the initiative to ask Li Mu for help, saying that he was familiar with the environment of the oasis and was willing to look for it together.
Since finding the oasis, Yaji has regained his freedom, and at this time, he saw that the Ming Dynasty had completely annihilated the remnants of the Turkic army, and the bones of his body were lighter, where was a little sad.
Li Mu didn't have the slightest affection for this traitor who betrayed his fellow clan, but when this guy still had use value, he could still maintain a pleasant face and said: "So, do you also think that Tong'e didn't escape from the typhoon shelter?" ”
"No, that old immortal is the most timid as a mouse, and he never wants to take any risks!" Ya Ji said firmly: "Master Wang has surrounded this typhoon shelter, he will never dare to risk breaking through, he will definitely choose to find a mouse hole to hide, and wait until Master Wang leaves before coming out!" ”
"You're saying that Tong'e has a hiding place here?" Li Mu said with interest.
"Definitely!" Yaji said with a mocking face: "The old thing belongs to rats, and he will be uncomfortable if he doesn't make a hole." And many of his rat holes were dug by different people, and even I don't know all of them, but the way they were dug was similar, and I should be able to find them. ”
"Then there will be labor." Li Mu's patience ran out, and he waved his hand, signaling what he should do.
"Look!" Yaji nodded and stepped back, and began to search around.
After the sandstorm passed, the breeze swayed the branches, shook off the sand and dust on the leaves, and this beautiful oasis revealed its original appearance, the poplar leaves rustled, the strange willows hung on the blue waves surrounded by shrubs, and there were even small birds that also appeared, standing on a reed branch and chirping happily.
A hearty victory made the fatigue of the soldiers disappear, and this group of guys who were tired to death and alive before were now in good spirits cleaning the battlefield on the Turkic camp. All the soldiers who passed by Li Mu's side looked at him with the same blazing and awe-inspiring eyes!
After this defeat turned the impossible into a victory, the worship of Li Mu in the army reached a new height. In the eyes of the soldiers, Hou Ye is no longer a human, he is a god, he can pinch and calculate, otherwise how could he accurately find the enemy's lair in this vast desert?
After leading them out of a desperate situation and achieving another brilliant victory, in the hearts of these Tang Army soldiers, Li Mu has been completely deified!
They are willing to follow Li Mu to the soup, as long as he waves the flag, even if it is the Yama Palace, these soldiers will dare to break through! Because they believe that Li Mu will win!
Li Mu sat on the stone by the water, enjoying the precious fresh air, fishing with the fishing rod skillfully made by his subordinates, while listening to Su Ding's report to him on the results of the battle.
"In this battle, a total of 12,000 enemies were annihilated, and our army lost 90 people and wounded 200 people, including 80 seriously wounded."
There were no prisoners, this was set before the war. Alone outside, food and grass are cut off, how can there be the capital to raise prisoners? The so-called once a general succeeds and his bones are dry, and he does not want to sacrifice the lives of his soldiers, he can only replace them with the lives of the enemy.
"In addition, a total of 7,000 stone of military rations and more than 10,000 horses were seized!" Su Dingfang couldn't help but frown and said: "Master Hou, you are betting right, the winner takes all!" We don't have to worry about military rations! "Although 7,000 stone of grain is not much, it is enough to feed more than 10,000 people!
"Hehe......" Li Mu couldn't help laughing, squinted his eyes and took a deep breath of intoxicating air, suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes and said, "Where is the wine?" How much alcohol was seized? He still remembers the words he had made to the soldiers, and although it didn't matter at the moment, he hoped that it would be over.
"This ......" Su Dingfang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Turks have drunk it all, these grandsons can really drink, and the camp is full of wine jars." The little ones went over one by one, and they were all empty. ”
"Hey......" Li Mu sighed, and then smiled again: "If they don't drink like this, we won't be able to win so easily." ”
"Yes." Su Dingfang nodded and joked: "My lord's statement, I should be able to get the understanding of the soldiers." ”
"I can't help it if I don't understand." Li Mu smiled bitterly and stretched out his arms, and snorted pleasantly: "I can only owe it first, and then invite them when I go back." When we go back, I will pull out all the wine from the winery, set up a running water banquet for a month, and drink until they quit drinking! ”
"There is another question that the soldiers want to know more than drinking." Su Dingfang smiled: "How many miles did they walk in total?" ”
"Oh, this one, haha!" Li Mu scratched his head a little embarrassed and laughed, Su Dingfang also laughed, the more the two laughed, the more they laughed, and then they laughed directly!
Laughing enough, Li Mu Zhengse asked, "What else do you have to gain?" ”
"Yes!" Su Dingfang said solemnly: "Captured Tong'e's young son." The kid was only nine years old, and he was mixed up in the pile of dead people and pretended to be dead. While cleaning the battlefield, he was caught. He was clever and cried out, 'I am the son of Tong'e, don't kill me!' He said with a smile: "His voice is really timely, otherwise it would be his identity in the next moment." ”
"Killed." Li Mu said coldly.
Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment and said, "He's just a child......"
Li Mu looked at him coldly and said, "If it's a baby, if you don't kill it, you won't kill it." But he is already nine years old, and a child of this age knows what hatred is, and it will be a curse to keep it sooner or later. Don't feel sorry in your heart, when the Turks kill people, they can not distinguish between men and women, young and old, you look at the bones under the city of Qiuzi, you still don't understand? ”
Su Dingfang nodded and said, "The last general understands, so let's do it." He gestured to his men in the distance, and a shrill scream rang out, and there was no more sound.
At this moment, Yaji screamed excitedly: "Found the old thing, the old thing is there!" ”
When everyone looked for prestige, they saw Yaji on the edge of the water bubble, jumping to command a group of soldiers, surrounding a piece of waterside bushes, and then slowly narrowing the encirclement like catching turtles in the urn! Then, I saw Yaji stop the movements of the Tang soldiers, jump into the bushes himself, and take out a watery Tong'e!
It turned out that Tong'e heard her youngest son's screams and exposed her feet, just so that Yaji, who was searching nearby, was arrested.
"Haha, old and immortal, when you kicked me into the water, I didn't expect that I would personally get you out of the water!" Above the oasis, Yaji's maniacal laughter echoed.
Li Mu and Su Dingfang walked to the front, only to understand why they couldn't find Tong'e, yesterday the camp was in chaos, Tong'e had no way to enter the ground, he could only hide in the water, he hid in the bushes, once someone approached, the whole person sank into the water, leaving only a section of reed pole to breathe on the water.
Normally, this can also avoid the search, but Li Mu was ruthless and killed his only surviving young son. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Tong'e heard the screams of her young son, but she didn't master the uniform breathing, and choked all of a sudden. The surface of the water seemed to be a fart underneath, and there were a few bubbles, which was discovered by Yaji.
Yaji proudly pressed the drenched Tong'e and ran to ask Li Mu for credit.
Tong'e, who poured a stomach full of water, saw who pulled herself out, and first said in shock: "You're not dead?" ”
"What, do you want me dead?" Yaji looked at Tong'e resentfully, and said with a cruel smile: "Of course, if I die, no one will ever know about the ugly things you did!" ”
"Bastard!" Yaji Deng realized that Tang Jun could find the typhoon shelter and find himself, and it was absolutely inseparable from him, so he pounced on it, grabbed Yaji's collar and scolded: "Have you forgotten who dug you out of the snowdrift and raised you as an adult, your life was originally mine, what's wrong with you giving it back to me!" ”
Li Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, daring to have such a show.
"Old thing, you wanted me to die first! Did I let you save me? Yaji broke Tong'e's fingers one by one, and said coldly: "I also want to live, I have been a cow and a horse for you all these years, and it is not enough to pay you back?" He screamed loudly: "People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, I learn from you!" ”
Tong'e was actually speechless, and her lips trembled for a while before she spit out a sentence: "What benefits did they give you?" ”
"Kill you and I will be the king of the Turks, everything you have, all is mine!" Yaji didn't even think about it, so he said triumphantly.
"Okay, okay, very ......" Tong'e looked at Yaji fixedly, and suddenly, he pulled out a scimitar out of nowhere and stabbed it into Yaji's chest, and the handle of the knife was stirred, and Yaji couldn't die anymore.
Li Mu looked at it and said in his heart, yes, it's easy to get trouble.
Su Dingfang saw Tong'e draw his knife, and immediately led someone to protect Li Mu behind him, and seven or eight Tang knives were placed on Tong'e's neck, he dared to move, and his head was definitely different!
Na Cheng thought, Tong'e is also a bachelor, directly put the scimitar in the place, plopped and knelt, a handful of snot and tears begged: "spare your life, marshal spare your life......"
Including Li Mu, everyone present really didn't expect Tong'e's bones to be so soft. Although Li Mu also knew that this was his means of begging, after all, he was once a king, which was too shameless!
All of a sudden, the hard-won victory seems to have lost a few qualities.
