Chapter 743: Victory
"Who is that foot soldier? Brave and enterprising can simply make or break the outcome of a small battle. Chu Yunci pointed to the lame lieutenant and said in admiration, but it was just a compliment.
The Tang Dynasty has a lot of things and doesn't know how many pearls have been lost in the sea, especially on the battlefield, it is not surprising.
"Back then, the warrior Wang Zaike under the command of General Li was here, but I didn't expect him to be so terrible after he broke his hand and was lame."
Chu Yunzheng said with emotion, and the lame captain was already lacking in stamina at this time, he was a crippled person in the end, and he was also a while in terms of strength and agility.
His leg was slashed by the arc knife, blood gushed out, and as he threw himself forward, he took down three large food soldiers, and his comrades behind him rushed over and stabbed the enemy to death with their spears.
It's a pity that the lame captain has already died of several swords, and no one will mourn for him for a moment, and his comrades are constantly falling, and they have long been numb.
The soldiers chased the rear of the Great Food Army one after another, and the battlefield of the two armies was actually nearly ten miles long, and the sound of fighting gradually became inaudible, and everyone gritted their teeth and tried to raise their weapons to attack.
The number of casualties is increasing dramatically, from the afternoon to the next morning, at this time it is no longer a fight for force, when the equipment is exhausted, when the physical strength is exhausted, the bet is willpower, as long as the will of the soldiers on one side collapses, then the end is the whole army rout.
The commander of the Chinese army of Da Shi was ruined at this moment, and he must have known that the Tang army led by Chu Yunzheng was so crazy, and he would leave some soldiers behind if he said anything.
Now more than 100,000 people are mixed with tens of thousands of people on the other side, and at first he still fought and retreated, but now he doesn't even dare to give the order to move in the direction of the army on the right, for fear that the whole army will collapse.
"Surprise them!"
Chu Yunzheng said with a cruel smile, the death under his command after a day and a night of fighting made him speechless, and his hatred for Da Shi was incomparable.
"Then surprise them a little!" Chu Yunzheng smiled coldly, waved his hand to the guard group around him, and dozens of black-armored soldiers who had been staying behind them rode out.
Everyone was carrying a burden, and when they saw these black-armored soldiers roaring towards them, the Tang army, from the generals to the soldiers, all retreated.
There has been a notice in the army for a long time, but whenever there are black-armored soldiers, everyone will refuse, otherwise they will definitely die.
The clamour retreated into a heap, and the shield-bearer shielded all his comrades behind him. The big food soldiers looked at the crowd vigilantly, afraid that the Tang soldiers would form a battle formation.
At this moment, more than a dozen black iron bumps fell from the sky, and the big food soldiers subconsciously took a few steps back and surrounded them again.
An earth-shattering loud noise resounded through the battlefield, and many people subconsciously looked up, and those who were too far away could not see anything, but those who were close could see the situation of the big food soldiers being blown up into the sky.
The Great Eclipse Soldier was instantly afraid, the Turks and Tubo may still know about this powerful artifact, but the Great Eclipse Country came from thousands of miles to know that there was such a weapon, and they only felt that it was a divine punishment.
Some were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground and begged for help from their gods, while others turned around and ran.
And Tang Bing was not happy, looking at the shield embedded with iron beads, he couldn't stop swallowing his saliva, if there was no thickened shield, they would have to be beaten into a sieve even if they were not blown up.
Everywhere the black-armored soldiers went, the black-armored soldiers covered with black armor and black helmets were like devils, and anyone who saw them turned around and ran.
Bombs thundered across the battlefield, and fear spread like a plague among the Great Eaters.
"Those who retreat will be killed, and those who surrender will be killed; Those who scream in terror will not be forgiven, and those who strive to kill the enemy will have ten bounty coins! ”
The Great Commander was also shocked by this unpredictable power, and he slashed down the two deserters who ran past him with his sword, and roared hoarsely.
It's a pity that the army was defeated, and there was no need to fight if the army's morale was scattered. How could he alone reverse the defeat of the ten-mile battlefield?
"Happy, happy! The herald beats the drum and attacks, and General Ben is going to beat the water dogs! ”
Chu Yunzheng finally showed a happy smile and gave the order to pursue.
More than 100,000 people fled in all directions of the desert, and if you look down from the sky, it looks like hundreds of thousands of ants running.
And behind them were Datang's pursuers, who looked like a ball of ants in pursuit.
At this moment, the brothers of the Chu family took the lead, mixed in the crossbow team to shoot the big food soldiers, they rode on horseback and didn't even need to aim, they raised their hands and released arrows.
The pursuit lasted nearly two hours, driving the Great Eaters into the desert.
At this time, Chu Yunzheng ordered the whole army to rest, everyone silently took out dry food to eat, after such a long battle, people were already sleepy and tired, but no one dared to close their eyes, for fear that they would drive others to sleep after sleeping like this.
"The herald ordered to clean up the battlefield, bring back the corpses of the soldiers, and sleep in shifts after returning to the city."
Chu Yunzheng ate the dry food that pulled his throat, and said in a dull voice, just after the battalions were counted, it was found that there were 10,000 dead in the army, almost all the rest were wounded, and there were nearly 3,000 people with amputated limbs, and it was still a question whether they could survive.
Eating and eating his tears came down, they were only 40,000 people, and they completed the task at the cost of more than half of the casualties, but Cai Cong's side They are no longer able to support you.
Even when the middle of the Great Food gathered the remnants of the army to attack Cai Cong together, they could only watch.
"I have sent someone to report to the Generalissimo about the situation of my department, and then we can only see the will of heaven."
Chu Yun said in a sullen voice, it was too tragic, this battle was all about sharp weapons, the Tang army was strong-willed, but the Great Food Army was also determined, even if it was chased all the way back, the total number of deaths of the Great Food soldiers would not exceed fifteen thousand.
"Let's go back! Why do good men need a horse leather shroud? All the soldiers were wounded, and we couldn't bring the corpses of our comrades. ”
Chu Yunci said with red eyes, he gently patted his brother's shoulder, but Chu Yunzheng burst into tears.
"Since the generalissimo asked Goguryeo to return the corpses of his subordinates, no one has abandoned the corpses of my comrades, but today I am going to break this rule, I am sorry for the brothers, I am sorry for the generalissimo and the family of my comrades~"
"Order, the whole army returns to the city! The bodies of his comrades were not sent back, and he told the brothers not to be sad, that the most important thing is to go back alive, and that only by returning alive can he avenge the dead brothers. ”
Chu Yunci issued a military order on behalf of his brother, and the soldiers silently collected the dry food. The route of the pursuit and the pattern of the battlefield are connected like a tadpole, and they go from the tail of the tadpole to the head.
On the way, people constantly carry their dead comrades on their backs and put them on their horses, without any words, which is a wordless promise from the living to the dead.
I don't know how far the smell of blood spread in the wind, and the creatures eating meat in the desert ran out, they avoided the army far away, and followed them to gnaw on the corpses of the soldiers who ate the big food, a very cruel picture, but it did not show a trace of unbearable.
Cai Cong's side has not yet started an encounter, they are diagonally inserted in front of the big food army to do repairs, but they don't dare to rush over directly to start a battle, the army has rushed nearly two hundred miles, and people are sleepy and tired to go up to die.
"Have you found out where the other party is?"
Cai Cong asked solemnly in the handsome tent, this is a big gamble, the one-to-one army Datang never takes anyone in his eyes, but he is afraid that this is a smoke bomb.
If this is the main force used to contain his forces, then the main force with guides and Qinling will definitely pass through the defense line from the rear to the right of Longyou, and fight a flanking battle with the main Turkic force.
At that time, the supply of Longyou and Qiuzi will be cut off, and the consequences will be unimaginable!
