Although the explosion was over, the black smoke and flying dust caused by the explosion still covered most of the battlefield.

From Li Chengqian's position, there was no way to see the situation of the army of Wu Su and Xue Yantuo on the other side, and the situation on Li Chengqian's side could not be seen in the original place of Wu Xu, of course, Wu Su had now led the remaining thousands of Xue Yantuo soldiers to escape.

It's horrible!

All of the Xue Yantuo soldiers thought so, and based on their previous experience, they could see the catapult before the explosives were dropped. But this time the gunpowder exploded from the ground, and they didn't dare to go to the explosion place to check the situation, thinking that the Tang army really used some kind of divine thunder.

Wu Su's ears were shocked, and he didn't defend his position, and rode a war horse like a headless fly all the way on the grassland, and the thousands of Xue Yantuo soldiers behind him were inferior to him, just watching his banner run wildly.

Fleeing to the edge of a wood, Wu Su was riding his horse and galloping when he suddenly heard a thunderclap shouting from ahead: "Will you come back to Wu Su?"

Hearing this, Wu Su looked up and exclaimed loudly: "Su Dingfang! ”

Wu Su hurriedly grabbed the reins and stood on his horse, only to see a team of Tang Army soldiers turn out of the mountains and forests in front of him, and the leader was Su Dingfang, the Tang Dynasty warrior who had fought many times with Hui in the past few days.

"Hahaha, it's the old man!" When Su Dingfang heard this, he raised the spear in his hand and pointed it at Wu Su, and his expression was radiant.

He saw the gunpowder detonated by Li Chengqian a few miles away, and knew that the battle was at the most critical moment, and he was desperately leading people to rush back, but suddenly found that there was a large group of Xue Yantuo men and horses rushing in front of him, so he hid behind the forest and waited.

When he saw that the person who came was Wu Su and only ran for his life with a few thousand people and horses, Su Dingfang couldn't help laughing, and by this time he could already conclude that Wu Su had not bargained, and was frightened by the earth-shattering explosion just now.

Unlike Su Dingfang's good mood, Wu Su was really frightened when he saw Su Dingfang and the brightly armored Tang soldiers behind him at this time, and he was almost about to dismount and beg to surrender, but he didn't dare to surrender when he thought of Li Chengqian's slaughter of Xue Yantuo's sweat tent.

"Tang people, Tang people are really treacherous, it turns out that you have already set a trap and waited, waiting for me to ......" Wu Su himself didn't know what he said.

Su Dingfang saw Wu Su's panicked appearance, and knew that he couldn't make any waves, and he didn't say anything more at the moment, holding the reins in his left hand and holding the gun in his right hand, his legs slammed the horse's belly, and the war horse screamed in pain, jumped up, and rushed straight to the opposite Wu Su.

As soon as Su Dingfang moved, the Tang soldiers behind him also rushed forward with the horses.

Wu Su and the others were already frightened when they returned to the people, and when they saw that the Tang army was rushing again, they could only barely resist it, and then turned around and fled, and Su Dingyi led five thousand Tang troops to chase closely.

---------------

Li Chengqian watched Qiu Xinggong and the others come up and waited on the hillside for a while, and the soldier in charge of detonating the gunpowder outside the camp came to report that Wu Su had led the crowd to escape.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and then Li Chengqian arranged for the generals to clean up the battlefield.

At this time, the dust at the explosion had not yet settled, and there was no way to enter the people, so Qiu Xinggong arranged for someone to treat the wounded of Datang first.

When the arrangements were made here, Cheng Wuting had already rushed back, and not long after he chased out, he remembered that there was no one to fight around Li Chengqian, so he was frightened into a cold sweat and turned around and rushed back to the camp.

When he entered the camp and saw that everything was arranged here, he lowered his head and walked to Li Chengqian's face with a flushed face and knelt down, Li Chengqian didn't look at him, Liu Kui saw this, and stepped forward to take him to be whipped first.

Li Chengqian looked up and saw that the sun in the sky was almost due south, and said to the wounded with a smile: "I basked in the sun here all morning, but I didn't do anything, but I was hungry first, you must be hungry too, right?"

"With this big victory, I didn't eat for three days and didn't go hungry." A wounded man also said happily.

Li Chengqian didn't think it was angry when he heard this, and still said with a smile: "You still have to eat enough to recuperate from your injuries, and only after you have recovered from your injuries can you go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie is compassionate!" The clever wounded hurriedly thanked him.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, today I will order Cheng Wuting to personally take someone to cook." ”

Cheng Wuting, who had just been whipped, heard the words, so he silently went to the stove camp to cook.

Li Chengqian waited for dinner after arranging here, and after half an hour, the dust of the explosion finally settled, and the fireworks gradually went out.

Li Chengqian ordered Qiu Xinggong and Li Simo to bring people to deal with it.

Qiu Xinggong and Li Simo are both veterans of the battlefield, and Li Chengqian threw explosives at the enemy in the past, and they have all seen that the enemy's casualties are not large, but the power of the gunpowder explosion is more terrifying.

But this time, as the dust gradually landed, I saw that several acres of land were charred black, and the smell of burnt human flesh could be smelled from afar, and the wounded soldiers of Xue Yantuo fell to the ground one by one, groaning in pain.

The two of them approached with the soldiers, and it was almost the same as the Shura Hell in the Buddhist scriptures.

Li Simo was originally a Turkic with a cruel nature, but he couldn't help but tremble when he saw such a scene. turned his head to look at Qiu Xinggong, but saw that Qiu Xinggong was still observing the situation on the battlefield as usual.

"General Li, I will see that most of the people here are not seriously injured, and the reason why I am lying on the ground at this time is just because I was frightened, and I may make trouble when I wake up later. If you and I take someone to mend each of them, their lives will be restored to His Royal Highness the Prince. Qiu Xinggong said calmly.

What Qiu Xinggong said was true, in order not to be discovered by the enemy, there was gunpowder buried underneath, and the gunpowder buried here was not worrying, although other things were added to the gunpowder, the damage was still not large.

As soon as these people lost their combat effectiveness, they were frightened by the power of the ground shaking when the gunpowder exploded, and the dead grass on the ground that was ignited after the gunpowder exploded, and many people were burned by the fire. Coupled with the darkness around them at that time and they didn't know where to flee, these people completely lost their combat effectiveness when their minds were taken away.

Li Simo was stunned at first when he heard this, but thinking of Li Chengqian's ruthlessness, these wounded soldiers of Xue Yantuo had only one way to die.

But Li Simo still replied: "It's better to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first and then deal with it." Li Simo didn't respect Li Chengqian, he just wanted to confirm Li Chengqian's reputation for being cruel and easy to kill.

Qiu Xinggong also thought that Li Chengqian would definitely order these people to be killed, so he sent someone back to report the news indifferently.

After Li Chengqian heard about it, he didn't want to kill these people, not that he became soft-hearted, but because he thought that these people were already frightened, they wouldn't dare to resist the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Those who are not seriously injured can do some coolies, and those who are seriously injured can also let them go around to promote the divine power of the Tang Crown Prince.

Yes, the people who have been frightened have no threat to him and Datang, even if these people return to Xue Yantuo or Hui, they will no longer have the courage to fight against Datang, but will drag down their comrades in the battle.

Li Chengqian looked at the captain who was kneeling in front of him on one knee and said, "You go back and pass on the message of King Gu, since these people are frightened, keep them, they are no longer harmless to Datang." ”

Qiu Xinggong and Li Simo listened to Li Chengqian's dictation and did not speak, and the soldiers behind them had already agreed to the promise, and the two looked at each other speechlessly and had to comply.

After the matter was decided, it would be easy to do, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty directly woke up or woke up these people, and all those who could move were gathered in one place, and then loudly told them to surrender and not kill.

When more than 7,000 Xue Yantuo's wounded soldiers heard that they surrendered and did not kill, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Qiu Xinggong ordered these people to get up and bury the corpses on the battlefield and carry them for treatment if they were seriously injured.

A group of Datang soldiers watched these enemy soldiers who had just surrendered work honestly and obediently, and even ignored their own injuries, and they all admired Li Chengqian from the bottom of their hearts.

However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved, they are running out of food. Originally, Li Chengqian led 8,000 cavalry to go on the march without bringing much grain and grass, but now he has been delayed here for four or five days, and there are suddenly more than 7,000 people, and of course there is not enough food.

Just when Li Chengqian was thinking about how to get some food from Xue Yantuo's camp, Su Dingfang came back with Wu Su and a group of Xue Yantuo generals.
