The experience of this wounded battalion gave Lin Sen a deep feeling, although the Tang Army achieved great results through this battle, after all the Tang Army officers and soldiers who went to the battle went back, all kinds of rewards must be indispensable, but behind this, the lives of countless Tang soldiers were also sacrificed.

Yes, many of these people came of their own free will, and some of the auxiliaries even came specifically for those feats of war, and even if they were not regular soldiers, they had to participate in the battle.

But seeing so many sacrifices and pains, Lin Sen still felt not too comfortable in his heart. Maybe it's because this is just his first serious battle, and he hasn't adapted to the cruelty of the battlefield, and he hasn't really looked down on life and death, so he has become hard-hearted.

However, all in all, he decided to give up the original task of breaking the city, which was not very difficult for him, so that more of his colleagues could have the opportunity to go home and reunite with their families.

In fact, the gate of Shuofang City was not so impregnable to him, and he didn't even need to sacrifice to open the gate, and there were several ways.

But after all, he couldn't kill all the enemies in Shuofang City alone, so even if he grabbed the first credit again, opened the door of the enemy, and won the most precious and direct victory opportunity for the soldiers of the whole army, it was still necessary to rely on the Tang army officers and soldiers to fight in order to clear the strength under the command of Liang Shidu.

If such a city wants to straighten things out, it is clear that this killing will not be small-scale, and it will not end too quickly. And such a battle, especially if it unfortunately develops into a street fight, the sacrifice of the Tang army is still inevitable, and I am afraid that it will not be less.

After all, compared to those Liang Shidu who were still entrenched in Shuofang City, Lin Sen and them were more like bad people who had invaded their homeland, and most of these people were relatively firmly on the side of the Liang family, and in the case of unanimity, this resistance would definitely be fierce.

They have no way to retreat, their wives and children are all in this Shuofang City, if they don't resist, it's a knife, it's better to play with Tang Jun.

Of course, Lin Sen also has concerns, although it has a great credit for opening the city gate, but it will inevitably attract more inquisitive eyes, and some secrets may also be exposed, and he still needs to weigh more between the gains and losses.

In addition, Lin Sen actually has a little mental obstacle for this kind of battle, after all, most of the people who are resisting in Shuofang City are still Han Chinese, which is definitely different from the perception of killing Turks, Lin Sen still hopes not to aim his swords and guns at his compatriots as much as possible.

Of course, when he really needs to kill, such as those bandits, he won't be soft.

Besides, isn't there a better option now, a choice with fewer kills, so it's better to give up this opportunity to perform for the time being.

Anyway, in this battle, his first merit has not run, even if it is a little more eye-catching, it will not reach the point of earning back a wife for Cheng Huaiyu at one time, it is better to save the opportunity for the next battle to destroy the Turks.

After making up his mind, Lin Sen didn't continue to think about how to break the city, and just carried out his sentry mission seriously every day, to see if there was any movement on the Turks' side, and then maintain the pressure on Shuofang City.

Chai Shao's side, from time to time, he has to convene the generals to discuss the situation, Lin Sen can now be said to have won the approval of the whole army, and has real merits, and he is also the scout captain of the army, and now he is also qualified to attend the meeting.

Some of the other generals felt that this battle might become protracted, after all, Shuofang City was a fortified city with thick walls, and if it was really a siege, there was basically no possibility of going down in one drum, and it was necessary to consider the possibility that the people in Shuofang City would become the same enemy.

Some generals paid attention to the consumption of grain and grass in the army, and felt that the supply was consumed a little too much, and it really turned into a protracted war, which was still not very beneficial to the Tang army, at least it betrayed the original intention of the battle at the beginning.

However, Lin Sen insisted that the morale in Shuofang City was not very high, and there had been constant spies in the Asari, and there should be an effect on the counter-plot.

As a foreign aid, the Turkic army was beaten by the Tang army again, and they knew every day that they were nesting in the camp, and it seemed that they were clearly waiting for the victory and defeat here, and there was no reason to continue to bind them here, so they could run back to the grassland to resume their lives. I don't have the heart to fight with Tang Jun again, who let their backyard catch fire, there has always been some confusion.

In addition, those generals who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty who originally belonged to Shuofang can be said to have been treated well, such as Liu Sheng and Liu Lan, who have also been reused and become the vanguard of dealing with Shuofang, which also gives some people in Shuofang City a big shot in the arm and reassurance.

Obviously, Chai Shao also recognized Lin Sen's idea, because he simply explained that the whole army would not move, and of course he had to exert appropriate pressure on Shuofang City.

Take advantage of this time to let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rest and recuperate, and at the same time make the most comprehensive preparations for the siege.

The atmosphere on Tang Jun's side is relatively relaxed, but it makes Lin Sen's side lively, as long as he is in the camp, there are many generals who come to make friends with him, and some want to express their admiration.

Although it does mean this from the bottom of his heart, Lin Sen always feels that these people are more for the little tea cake left in their hands.

In the first battle with the Turks, the Tang army also captured a lot of sheep and horses, and in order to reduce some logistical pressure, they naturally grabbed the mutton and made it endlessly.

It's winter again, I can't see any green, and the oil and water are so abundant, no matter how much people who love mutton, they can't bear it.

At this time, the importance of tea is naturally reflected, without the help of this thing, Lin Sen himself is almost unbearable, let alone other people.

Fortunately, they didn't let Lin Sen wait too long, and they had already realized that they would continue to resist stubbornly, and the only thing that awaited them was the end of the road, so Liang Luoren, who had already had the intention to surrender to Tang, launched together with a group of generals with the same mind, and killed Liang Shidu, the culprit, neatly.

After signaling the whole army, he did not hesitate to open the city gates and surrender.

The Tang Dynasty took Shuofang City bloodlessly, eliminated the Liang Shidu forces that had been in the division for the longest time, and had been in existence for 12 years, and basically completed the unification of the country.

"I still have to give you a credit this time." Seeing the open city gate, Chai Shao smiled with satisfaction.

After patting Lin Sen's shoulder with a smile, Chai Shao walked in front of Liang Luoren with his head held high. After that, a harmonious performance between the guests and the host is naturally indispensable.

Lin Sen didn't care about these things, as long as he achieved the best way he imagined, the fastest and smoothest, and the least sacrificial way, and completed the biggest goal of the trip.

And Lin Sen's mind had already run back to Chang'an City, to everything he loved.

Therefore, when he heard the task of rewarding the army, Lin Sen did not hesitate to snatch the job and took the villagers all the way to Chang'an City.
