Chapter 192: Canyon Thunder
The shady position of "eunuch" not only exists in China, but also in Gaochang, which is on the main trade route, is actually influenced by the Central Plains, and eunuch is one of them.
But Lu Wentai forgot that eunuchs don't have beards, so he was directly targeted by Li Xiaogong when he was wearing eunuch clothes and a beard.
Of course, even if the eunuch has a beard, Li Xiaogong does not plan to let go of anyone from the Gaochang Palace, even if it is a mosquito, he has to compare it according to the picture to see whether he cuts it or lets it go.
Li Xiaogong took the scabbard and patted Ko Wentai's face and said: "I originally thought that you Ko Wentai was the king of a country and would fight to the end with a weapon, but I didn't expect that you are actually a soft bone!" ”
Lu Wentai said in a not very skilled Tang dialect: "Nimen wine is treated like this to Guo Jun? ”
Li Xiaogong sneered: "In my eyes, you are not even more noble than my Tang soldiers. Of course, if you fight like a man and get captured in the end, we will respect you because you are a hero.
It's a pity, you're a bear! Take it down! ”
Several of Li Xiaogong's personal guards immediately tied up Lu Wentai and escorted him into the prisoner car, and the general went to war, and it was a great merit to capture the king of a country and present it to the emperor, and this credit must belong to Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong glanced at the burning Gaochang Palace and said, "Leave a few hundred people to watch, don't affect the houses of the common people, the old man goes to see how the merchant is doing." ”
Immediately, hundreds of soldiers dispersed to the surroundings of the Gaochang Palace.
The army, in fact, is the official bandits, how can they do it without scraping a layer of land! If it was just by virtue of the reward of the imperial court, ordinary soldiers could not even get ten copper plates, so the treasures, gold and silver in the Gaochang palace had been looted, and then the Gaochang palace was burned.
The palace of Gaochang symbolizes the royal power of Gaochang, even if Li Xiaogong does not burn it, Hou Junji will light a fire after he comes, which is a custom.
Merchants are lambs to be slaughtered, but now they are slaughtered instead of Ko Wentai and Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong looked at the account book written by He Shengcai and nodded: "Yes, yes, you actually exchanged all the money for gold, which is also smart, I still lack a secretary under my account, you will come to be a few days, and when the army returns to China, you can follow it!" ”
He Shengcai is overjoyed, if he can return to China with the army, then his caravan will find the best backer!
After counting the "protection money" sent by the merchants, the sun had completely turned west, and Li Xiaogong felt very hungry in his stomach, and couldn't help but miss Li Jing.
Li Xiaogong misses Li Jing not because the two of them are backs to the mountain, but because Li Jing has the secret dry food made downstairs in the world - air-dried beef.
Although Li Xiaogong is also a military figure, he is a royal family after all, and out of "avoiding suspicion", he never interacts with Cheng Yanjin and others except for some big occasions. So Li Jing can go downstairs to ask for some air-dried beef for dry food, but he can't, but if he buys it......... The things downstairs in the world, how can there be cheap!
What is Li Jing doing now? He's in the canyon!
After forcing back the Western Turkic reinforcements, Li Jing rushed to the gorge with part of the cavalry non-stop, and the Gaochang royal city was attacked, and the army on the border of Gaochang would definitely support it.
Although Gaochang is a small country, the army is also 70,000, although the canyon landscape is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after all, there are only 10,000 defenders, who can resist for a while, but they can't resist for a lifetime.
It turned out that Li Jing's support was timely!
The royal city of Gaochang was attacked, and the Gaochang army frantically attacked the canyon like they did not want to die, and the defenders of the canyon were forced to retreat step by step, and they had already retreated halfway.
Although Li Jing came to support, he could only guarantee that he would not retreat, and he would definitely not be able to fight back.
"Marshal, at present, there are only 30,000 troops in the valley Gaochang, if 70,000 are gathered, our battle will inevitably fall short! Why didn't you ask for help from the siege troops? Wuli Sima Zhou Changshou couldn't help but open his mouth when he looked at the chaotic battle situation in front of him.
The official position of Wuli Sima is second only to the marshal in power in the army, but if you take into account that Wuli Sima is equivalent to the emperor's eyes, then even the marshal does not dare to be rude to Wuli Sima.
At this time, the canyon has become a meat grinder-like existence, and in the siege battle, the Tang army only suffered more than 300 casualties, but at this time, the Tang army in the canyon fell to the ground and could not afford more than 3,000!
Li Jing whispered: "Wait, wait......"
As time passed, Gaochang's army had increased to 50,000, and the defenders of the Datang Gorge once again began to retreat.
Zhou Changshou looked at the battlefield several times and almost couldn't help but drop his duty and draw his sword to play, seeing that Li Jing was still in a daze, the flame in his heart couldn't help but rise half a day high, and he actually grabbed Li Jing's armor:
"Li Jing! Now our casualties are approaching 5,000! Are you just watching the soldiers die and be indifferent? Why haven't you asked for support from the siege troops? If you lose today! I will definitely impeach you in the court! ”
Li Jing was still so calm: "Wait a minute, it's not time yet." ”
If he hadn't known that Li Jing was a military wizard, Zhou Changshou would have stabbed him with a sword and seized power, but his side was losing and retreating, and he still needed Li Jing to give an explanation.
"Marshal Lee! What exactly are you waiting for! ”
Li Jing looked at Zhou Changshou, who was red-eyed, and said, "I'm waiting for the Gaochang army to arrive, and then .........."
After speaking, Li Jing looked at the three ground-level thunderbolts on the carriage.
Zhou Changshou felt that his heartbeat had stopped, and the city wall that disappeared in Gaochang was a true portrayal of the power of the earth-level thunder, could it be ......... Li Jing wants to use the last three ground-level thunderbolts to finish the Gaochang army?
"No, this won't work! The Qin Dynasty killed 400,000 Zhao troops in Baiqi, and still bears the name of 'killing gods', once you Li Jing destroyed the 70,000 Gaochang army, although they are not captives, nor are they Han Chinese, but when you return to the imperial court, you will still be pointed out by Qianfu! ”
It was hard for Zhou Changshou to imagine what the consequences of Li Jing's three thunders killing 70,000 Gaochang troops would be!
Li Jing said unhurriedly: "Killing above the military array is also killing, and killing with land-level thunder is also killing, not to mention, three ground-level thunderbolts can't deal with 70,000 giants, I just want to use land-level thunder to deter them!" Let them stop resisting! ”
Zhou Changshou then remembered...... 70,000 people, even if they all stand still, it is estimated that ten ground-level thunderbolts will not be able to blow up.........
Seeing that a large number of Gaochang reinforcements had joined on the other side, Li Jing patted the ground-level thunder on the carriage and said, "It's almost!" Mingjin retreats! Let's get out of the canyon and then release the ground-level thunder! ”
Mingjin's voice sounded, and the Tang soldiers, who were already retreating, suddenly lost their armor and retreated towards the exit of the canyon.
When the Gaochang army saw that the Tang army had finally broken and fled, they immediately screamed and chased after the Tang army.
A few hundred meters away from the exit of the canyon, Li Jing connected three ground-level thunder fuses together, and then connected a long fuse.
When the last soldier ran past Li Jing and Zhou Changshou, Li Jing immediately lit the fuse!
"Cover your ears! Open your mouth! Run! Li Jing shouted, and then for the first time in his life, he whipped the war horse with all his might!
Zhou Changshou covered his ears, he was even more ruthless, and he actually stuck a dagger in the horse's buttocks, causing his war horse to neigh.
No way, the ground-level thunder is too impressive!
After a long time, Li Jing and Zhou Changshou heard the earth-shattering explosion!
