Chapter 741: The Princess Is Captured

In the mountainous area east of Qishan City, the Dahua army ambushed the Tang army generals who broke through the siege, and suddenly, many captains, captains, and generals of the Tang army were killed in chaos, and some were captured alive, and the scope of the battle gradually narrowed.

Li Xuanba was wearing the robe of an ordinary pawn, his appearance was not amazing, when he rushed to the edge, he pretended to be killed in battle, and lay in the pile of dead people's corpses, and when the battle was over and near the end, he jumped up like a ghost and fled, and after a team of soldiers nearby found out, he didn't have time to take a bow, his figure had already burrowed into the jungle, and it was difficult to notice.

With Li Xuanba's skills and skills, once he wants to escape, unless he relies on cavalry to pursue and encircle on the endless grassland, otherwise, once there are jungles and mountains, it will not be able to encircle and suppress at all, and tens of thousands of troops will also stare dryly, because the speed cannot catch up.

The torches were bright, the mountains and forests were reflected as if it were day, and the periphery was guarded by the Dahua army, and several thousand-strong teams were dispatched, led by the captain, to begin to clean up the battlefield, check the corpses, and identify them.

After the battle, the corpses of your own soldiers should be cremated and buried, and some wounded and unconscious soldiers should be treated.

Among the corpses, there will also be some enemy soldiers who pretend to be dead or unconscious, and try to get them out, and the remaining dead bodies of the enemy soldiers will be placed in a large pit and buried to form a mass grave near the battlefield.

Li Xiuning was captured alive, fortunately Ma Sanbao blocked the knife for her at that time, and pressed her under him, during the battle, the Dahua soldiers rushed forward in a hurry, and did not make up the knife carefully, and after the battle, even if they found the living enemy soldiers, there was no threat, and they would not be slaughtered again, but taken as prisoners.

After the war, Luo Zhaoyun appeared unexpectedly and said a few words to comfort the three armies: "The soldiers have worked hard. ”

"Hooray, hooray!"

The soldiers shouted and were elated, and their ability to defeat the enemy repeatedly in this way had a lot to do with His Majesty's strategy.

After each battle, the casualties are small, the merit is great, the more merits are accumulated, the more honors are obtained, many people have been promoted and knighted, although most of the soldiers are still big soldiers, but they have earned a lot of military work, and they can be exchanged for money when they turn back, and when the war is over, there is a generous settling-in fee, or how many years of tax and conscription are exempted.

This is what they are most excited about, even if they die in battle, many points can be exchanged for their families, and their families get special care, after such a policy is implemented in the army, it immediately encourages Dahua soldiers and soldiers, all of whom are proud of joining the army, and they all compete for merit and move forward bravely.

Even those captured Tang Army, after being reorganized in batches, after learning about the treatment of the Dahua Army, they were all hot-eyed, and they had to behave well. However, because he was a prisoner, he could only get half of the reward in the first year, eighty percent in the second year, and the same treatment as a normal Dahua soldier in the third year.

In this way, in order to balance the difference in the status of the first soldier and the prisoner, there is an excess, so that more and more prisoners, after seeing the benefits, sincerely join, will not be unable to get along with this kind of affordable incentive system. In troubled times, if you really seek benefits for your family, why not die in battle?

Li Xiuning was caught in the army, her hair was scattered, her face was covered with blood and sludge, she was very embarrassed, she did not identify herself, but waited for the opportunity to escape, worried that after she was exposed, she would be coerced by Dahua to seek huge benefits from her father.

"Luo Cheng, it turned out that he personally led the troops to set up an ambush here, and even the idea and route of our escape were predicted in advance, and sure enough, the soldiers were like gods, alas, who else in the world could subdue him?" Li Xiuning stared at Luo Cheng's figure from a distance, eager to pick up a crossbow and shoot this person.

But she knew that that kind of idea was difficult to realize, not to mention that she couldn't hide from the crossbow machine, even if she had a crossbow in her hand, it would be a fool's dream to shoot a cold arrow to kill a master with innate martial arts skills.

As soon as it was dawn, the captives were escorted to the camp outside Qishan City.

At this time, in Qishan City, the battle was not over, there were still sounds of fighting, and individual Tang troops were stubbornly resisting.

After a night of fighting, the influx of Dahua troops occupied an absolute advantage, and finally in the general's mansion, Murong Luohu committed suicide in defeat and did not surrender, and the rest of the guards were all killed.

The city began to be cleared, the number of casualties was counted, and the Tang military attaches and non-commissioned officers who were hiding in the wells, firewood piles, rooftops, and dark rooms were probed.

This work was in charge of Hou Junji, and Luo Zhaoyun didn't care about these details, but was thinking about how to organize the army and march towards Jingzhao County.

At present, the veteran general Qu Tutong and the Tang army tiger general Yin Kaishan are facing off against Anding County, and they can't draw troops.

Laihu'er led his troops to attack Yixian, which is the border between Fufeng County and Jingzhao County, and it is also an important connecting route between the East and West official roads.

Chen Qi led his troops to capture Renshou Palace, and then followed another route to raid Shangyi City in the northwest of Jingzhao County, forming a two-way attack.

And the army of him and Hou Junji, the north can reinforce Chen Qi, and it is difficult to support Laihu'er, but next, whether to divide the troops to attack, or to focus on it, one heavy and one light march, is the key to Luo Zhaoyun's consideration.

Attacking from both sides, although it has its advantages, but the dispersion of troops is also a disadvantage; Among the pros and cons, we need to take advantage of the situation and see how the Tang Army will send troops next.

Luo Zhaoyun had already obtained preliminary information through the intelligence organization of Yanlang Pavilion, that is, Li Yuan, the king of Tang, sent someone to contact Liang Shidu privately, and Liang Shidu was in harmony with the Turks, and it was likely that the three forces would form an alliance to intercept his Dahua army.

The news is not accurate enough for the time being, but it has aroused Luo Zhaoyun's great attention, if it is faced with the combination of the three forces, whether it is in terms of military strength and combat power, it may suddenly increase, and it will be difficult to deal with.

"Li Yuan, Liang Shidu, Shibi Khan!" Luo Zhaoyun frowned, and decided to transfer Li Jing over in advance, it was difficult for him to fight on three sides alone, and at the same time command the army to deal with the three large armies, treat it cautiously, and not underestimate the enemy, otherwise, the advantages accumulated in front would be buried.

"Your Majesty, among the captives we captured, there was a female pawn, and she was recognized as a princess of the Tang Dynasty!" Outside the big tent, a captain came to pay a respect.

"Tang Dynasty princess!" Luo Zhaoyun was stunned, could it be...... Li Xiuning?
