Chapter 342: The Resurrection of the Dead

200,000 Turkic troops, although this number has moisture, but there are still 1450,000, Li Xiu did not have any concept of this level of army in advance, thinking that the Turks he saw on the north bank of Weishui were all the Turks, but the fact is that it was only the front army of the Turks, at most about 50,000 or 60,000, and there were more Turkic troops behind that did not arrive.

However, the Turkic army behind will never have a chance to reach the bank of the Weishui River again, Jieli was bombed into the sky by a plot, and finally life and death are unknown, and the front army was also defeated by the ambush of 20,000 troops, these defeated troops fled all the way, directly scattered many rear army ranks. However, there were still some Turkic generals who tried to gather their subordinates so as not to be scattered by the rebel army in front.

However, at this moment, I suddenly saw hundreds of giant monsters slowly rising on the banks of the Weishui River, one by one with teeth and claws rushing towards these Turks, although the Turks are fierce, but in essence they are still a barbaric nomadic tribe, and they are very awe of ghosts and gods, so when they see the monsters that pounced, they were all frightened and retreated, plus the Tang army kept shouting that Jieli was dead, which made the Turkic army shake their hearts, and they were chased and killed by the Tang army all the way, and the road was full of Turkic corpses.

Those so-called monsters flying in the air are naturally hot air balloons, but Li Shimin asked people to draw the air bags on them to look like monsters, and also calculated the wind direction in advance, so after the hot air balloon lifted off, it pounced all the way to the Turks, and when it flew over the Turks, the hot air balloon even began to throw the ignited oil canister downward, and after landing was a sea of fire, it was the best to throw gunpowder weapons such as grenades, but unfortunately the gunpowder was insufficient, so they could only use fire oil.

With a few prongs, the Turks were naturally defeated by the killing. Li Shimin immediately asked people to build a pontoon bridge to cross the Weishui River when he saw this, and then personally commanded the army to cover up all the way, it seemed that he wanted to drive the Turks out of the Tang Dynasty directly, and Li Xiu also went to the other side to check it, only to see that the place where the explosion had become a big pit, surrounded by stumps and broken arms, intestines and internal organs could be seen everywhere, and an indescribable stench filled the air everywhere, which made people feel disgusting.

"Qi Li Sacrifice Wine, the location has been found, and now the brothers are digging the hole!" At this moment, a soldier ran over to report to Li Xiuyu that Li Shimin had gone after the Turks, and Li Xiu took the initiative to stay and clean up the battlefield, after all, he didn't know how to do military affairs, and the gunpowder had run out, so he didn't follow to join in the fun, in case he was killed by a cold arrow on the battlefield, it would be too unjust.

"Take me there!" Li Xiu heard the other party's report and immediately spoke. The soldier promised to take Li Xiu to the river immediately, but he saw that dozens of soldiers were struggling to dig here, this is the hole where a few dead soldiers were hidden before, just because of the previous explosion, the hole has also been collapsed, which can be seen from the collapse of the ground, and at the same time, this also made Li Xiu's heart sink, the hole has collapsed, can the people inside still live?

The hole was quickly dug open, fortunately, the collapsed place was only one of the holes, although the cave where the real hiding was full of collapsed soil, but it was still largely intact, but several dead soldiers inside were all lying in the dirt, one by one, their faces were pale and bleeding, and they didn't know if they were dead or alive?

"Hurry up and bring it out, call the doctor!" Li Xiu was also startled when he saw the appearance of these dead soldiers, and hurriedly shouted, although he had guessed in advance that the situation of the dead soldiers in the cave was not good, after all, the place of the explosion was not very far from their cave, and it was fortunate that they were not buried alive under the shaking of the earth, but the impact inside was so great that it was enough to be fatal, which was also one of the reasons why Li Shimin arranged a few dead soldiers.

The soldiers immediately carried a few people out, and then a doctor stepped forward to check their pulse, but the doctor quickly shook his head and said: "No, I can't feel the pulse anymore, and I can't breathe, let's prepare for the future!" ”

Hearing the doctor's words, the surrounding soldiers also showed regretful expressions one by one, because they all knew that they were able to make the Turks a mess before, and they all relied on these people in front of them to detonate the gunpowder, if they lived, it would definitely be a great achievement, and in the future, they would become masters in one fell swoop, but they died, although the credit would fall to their families, but this credit was earned by them with their lives.

Li Xiu also showed a disappointed expression when he heard this, and then he saw that the doctor helped several dead soldiers tidy up their appearance, but at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he stepped forward quickly, squatted next to a dead soldier and began to press his chest desperately, because he suddenly thought that after these dead soldiers were hit by a huge impact, it was likely that they were just falling into a state of suspended animation, and if they were honest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation would probably bring them back to life.

The main reason why Li Xiu made such a judgment was that he found that when the doctor was helping these people to tidy up their appearance, their bodies were very soft and their joints were very flexible, especially when he squatted down and touched these people, he found that his body temperature was not very low, not like he was dead, and when the other person was subjected to a huge shock wave, he was indeed likely to fall into suspended animation.

Seeing Li Xiu pressing the chest of the dead man like crazy, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but show expressions of looking at each other, at this time Li Xiu suddenly stopped, and then raised the opponent's dismount, so that his trachea opened, ready to breathe, he had training in this area before, but he was just about to put his mouth down, but he was almost spit out by the taste in the other party's mouth, and I don't know how many years this guy hasn't brushed his teeth?

I really couldn't put my mouth down, fortunately there were other people around, Li Xiu looked up at the moment, so he immediately pointed to a guy with a big waist and ordered: "You, hurry up and come over and help me blow into his mouth!" ”

"Me?" The guy who was pointed at by Li Xiu immediately said with a bitter face when he heard it, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Xiu's orders, after all, the official level crushed people to death, not to mention that Li Xiu's official position was more than one level higher than him.

In desperation, the other party had no choice but to come over, and then blow into the other party's mouth according to Li Xiu's instructions, looking at the two big men mouth-to-mouth, the people around showed a look of disgust, and some people wanted to sneak away, worried that it would be their turn next, but they were curious about what Li Xiu was doing, so they were a little reluctant.

I saw Li Xiu desperately pressing the chest of the dead man, and the unlucky guy kept blowing into the other party's mouth, but after a while, I saw that this guy who was already a dead man suddenly sat up, and then let out a violent cough, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, but then he collapsed again, but his chest was regularly lying together, and it seemed that he was finally alive.

"Great, let's move on!" Li Xiu saw that he had saved one, and he was also excited to command the unlucky guy to save the other, but it took a long time for this guy to react when he saw the resurrection of the dead, and then stared at Li Xiu with a kind of immortal eyes, his face was full of fanatical worship, it is estimated that in his heart, Li Xiu has become a living immortal who can bring the dead back to life.

There are a total of five dead soldiers, but Li Xiu only saved two, and the remaining three are really dead, no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible to resurrect the dead, and finally he has to give up helplessly, but this has made the onlookers almost crazy, you must know that they are all people who pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, maybe they will fall on the battlefield one day, if they can deal with this living immortal, this is simply one more life!

It was with this idea that when Li Xiu gave up the treatment of the remaining dead people and stood up, the people around him immediately surrounded him, and they were all desperately dedicating, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a stern voice from behind: "What are you doing, has the battlefield been cleaned up?" ”

Hearing this voice, Li Xiu turned his head to look, but he saw the eldest grandson Wuji, a white-faced and beardless guy, sitting on a horse, when he saw Li Xiu, he was also stunned, and then changed to a smile and said: "It turned out to be Li Xijiu, I don't know what you are doing, why did it attract so many onlookers?" ”

"General Qiyu Changsun, just now Li Xianjiu actually saved two dead brothers, that is, the brothers who hid in the cave and detonated the gunpowder before!" Before Li Xiu could speak, one of the generals excitedly stepped forward to report.

"Huh? Can the dead be saved? Hearing this, Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but show a shocked expression and looked at Li Xiudao.

"It's not dead people, they just faked their death by shock, as long as they are rescued properly, they can still be saved, but three brothers are really dead, and I can't do anything!" Li Xiu opened his mouth to explain at the moment, and then he glanced at Changsun Wuji a little strangely and said, "Why did General Changsun come back, just now I remember that it was you who commanded the ambush army to defeat the Turks?" ”

Just now, Changsun Wuji never appeared by Li Shimin's side, mainly because he was in Weishui Hebei at the time, and waited until after the gunpowder exploded before he commanded the ambush army to kill, don't look at him This person looks like a little white face, but in fact, he is a civil and military all-rounder, and he is deeply trusted by Li Shimin, so such an important battle can only be commanded by Changsun Wuji.

"Your Highness is going to drive the Turks out of the Tang Dynasty in one go, but this is not a matter of a day or two, so I need to go to the rear to dispatch, and the situation in Chang'an City also needs someone to be in charge!" The eldest grandson Wuji got off the horse at this time, and then drove away the others before he said with a smile, he was completely impressed by Li Xiu's talent, so his words and deeds were very polite.

"I see!" Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this, Li Shimin left Chang'an, I am afraid that only the eldest grandson Wuji can stabilize the situation in Chang'an, no wonder Li Shimin later listed the eldest grandson Wuji as the first of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and he does have this qualification.

"By the way, whether Jieli is dead or alive, we saw before that the Turks seemed to have rescued a person who was suspected of Jieli, it can't really be Jieli, right?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of a question at this time, and hurriedly asked, if Jieli hadn't died, maybe things would have changed.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Eldest Sun Wuji's face immediately became gloomy, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I was here at the time, and I saw it more clearly than you, those people were indeed rescued by Jieli, but I don't know if he is dead or alive, but even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid he will be seriously injured, don't think about recovering in a short time, and the reason why His Highness personally commanded the army to chase and kill is to take advantage of the victory to pursue and beat the Turks out in one fell swoop, so as not to have any more variables!" ”

Li Xiu couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, he was most worried about this situation before, after all, although the gunpowder explosion was spectacular, but in fact, the lethality was limited, and he didn't know how to blast, so he couldn't control the lethality of gunpowder at all.

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a special team coming down from the battlefield, on both sides were Tang troops with swords and arrows in their hands, and in the middle were a group of Turks who had disarmed their weapons and held their heads in both hands, all of them looked very embarrassed, and they didn't need to ask to know that these must be Turks who had been captured in the first battle just now.

"General Qiyu, the last general escorted a total of 1,237 prisoners of war, how should the general deal with it?" I saw that a general led by him stepped forward to ask the eldest grandson Wuji for instructions, of course, there are more prisoners of war in this war, in fact, there are more prisoners of war behind, and there are many injured Turks who are not qualified to be prisoners of war at all, and the people who clean up the battlefield will directly make up for them and send them on the road, after all, Datang has no time to help them recuperate their injuries and waste food.

"Send them to Chang'an and imprison them!" The eldest grandson Wuji replied expressionlessly, but when he spoke, he made a hand gesture to the general very vaguely, which made the other party immediately understand, and turned around and loudly ordered the people behind him to escort these prisoners of war to the Weishui River, looking as if they were going to be escorted to Chang'an through the pontoon bridge.

Li Xiu also noticed the obscure hand of the eldest grandson Wuji, and just wanted to ask him what he meant, but he saw that the general who escorted the prisoners of war just now suddenly gave the order to do it after walking to the river with the prisoners of war, and as a result, the Tang soldiers who escorted them raised their waist knives and slashed indiscriminately, and before those Turks could react, their heads had already fallen to the ground, and then their heads were kicked into the river.

Seeing this cruel scene, Li Xiu was also stunned, but the eldest grandson Wuji smiled faintly, Datang is now suffering from internal and external troubles, there is no food to feed these prisoners of war, and there is no manpower to guard them, so it is the most correct choice to dispose of them directly.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiu rushed back to Chang'an City, while stabilizing the situation in the city, while waiting for news from Li Shimin's side, but just a few days later, a not very good news came. (To be continued.) )
