Section 25 Dialogue and Confrontation

Mahmoud sat on horseback and looked at everything in front of him, and in one night, no, it should be said that it was less than three hours before dawn, the six camps that had been intact were completely destroyed, and the remaining four were no longer usable, and repairing them was even more troublesome than rebuilding the camps, because there were also burned or burning wreckage, the wreckage of tents and the wreckage of people, and the strange smell of roasted meat in the air, and some pungent smoke...... Without having to tell him, Mahmoud himself could discern that the cause of all this was a fast-burning grease weapon that he had used during the war with the Samanids a few years earlier, but he had no idea that the flames were burning on him now......

He was a little stunned, although he had long known that the man on the other side was not simple, in order to recover the loss and the reputation he was losing, he was even forced to suspend the expedition against the rainforest dwarves (Indians) in the south, and even in order to reduce his own losses, he even pulled in the forces of the Qarluq and the Dangxiang people as allies, almost all the necessary considerations were prepared, but these things in front of him were like someone slapping him in the face, which made him want to curse loudly, but he didn't know who to curse......

At this moment, the great emir who followed his father to overthrow the rule of the Samanids and balance the various forces within the Turks was a little at a loss, and the small forces of the Tang camp that were once not worth caring about have now grown to this point? Sitting on horseback, Mahmoud was surrounded by anger, anxiety, loss and frustration after days of rest.

"Emir, the leader of the party has come...... "A ghulam zema came to Mahmoud and reported carefully.

Li Deming also led a large group of men, between the relationship of allies nowadays, he only brought a hundred and ten retinues to the Mahmoud station, and the first thing he said when he met was, "Your Excellency the Emir of Mahmud, I have lost four camps, more than 6,000 people have been killed in battle, and there are a large number of wounded people who need to be cared for...... That's what you mean by centaurs without siege weapons? Their weapons are even more vicious than the armies of Zhao and Song in the east! ”

Although he knew that it was of little practical point to blame his allies at the moment, Li Deming still couldn't control his emotions and complained a lot for the first time, half unintentionally and half intentionally, it was the Turks who initiated this alliance war, although he realized that the people brought by Luo Kaixian would bring a threat to himself, but he didn't want his side to be in front, showing weakness and others were easier to gain benefits than blindly being strong, although Li Deming was young, he understood this truth better than anyone else, so his semi-rebuke was actually to advance and retreat.

Although the other party's words were spoken in a very rusty Turkic language, Mahmoud fully understood that the owner of these words, Li Deming, was actually not complaining for the sake of blame, but had the psychology of retreating, but just one such blow and retreated? He was really unwilling, "Aha, Brother Tuoba, things are always unpredictable, if everything can be expected, then don't I need to change my title?" Or is it better to be called a prophet? Losing a little man is nothing, people are like wild horses on the grassland, only if you work hard to find it, there will always be! Moreover, that Luo Kaixian was going to the East, Dongfang ...... Isn't that the residence of your party members? At this time, you and I are the same, and there is no room for backing down! ”

I have to say that Mahmud's words are very skillful, he is persuading Li Deming at the same time, he is also convincing himself, if Li Deming retreats and will face the Luo Kai ancestors who are going eastward alone, if he Mahmoud retreats, although he will not face the surging soldiers, but the doubts of various forces within the Turkic system, it is more mysterious and dangerous than the face-to-face battlefield battle.

Li Deming's face was very embarrassed, there was nothing more embarrassing than being exposed to his face, but the other party was not his subordinate, so he had to change the topic in shame, "Why don't you see Kadir Khan?" Are the Qarluqs dead? ”

There were either Turks or party members around, no one answered his question, Mahmoud was also thinking about how to deal with it in the future, a strong man with a helmet and armor rode over from a distance, and then dismounted to Li Deming's side and whispered: "King, the latest news, the Qarluq people have lost more than half, a total of twelve camps, and seven camps have been burned!" ”

"What did you say?!"

"Where's Yusuf?"

Li Deming and Mahmoud were shocked at the same time.

……

On the other side of thousands of meters, behind layers of barricades, Lao Luo and more than a dozen generals gathered together, a large carpet was spread on the grass, and more than a dozen soldiers were barbecuing food on the side, and a few copper plates were placed in the middle of the carpet, which were filled with all kinds of fresh wild fruits.

"All parts report on the results and casualties!" Nuralman was sent to the back camp by Lao Luo, and Olki temporarily took his place and opened his mouth to announce the order for Lao Luo.

"The second capital of the cavalry school, two camps of the party members were broken, one camp of the party members was damaged, two hundred and thirty-seven enemies were captured, eleven were killed in battle, two were seriously wounded, and forty-six were lightly wounded!"

"The third capital of the cavalry school, three camps of the Broken Party Xiangren, 462 enemies were captured, 26 were killed in battle, no were seriously wounded, and 61 people were lightly wounded!"

"In the fourth capital of the cavalry school, one camp of the Broken Party and one camp of the Turks, one camp of the Turks was damaged, three hundred and eighty-four people were captured, fourteen were killed in battle, seven were seriously wounded, and twenty-six were lightly wounded!"

"The fifth capital of the cavalry school, two Turkic camps were broken, one was destroyed, one hundred and seventy enemies were captured, none were killed in battle, twelve were seriously wounded, and fifty-eight were lightly wounded!"

"The sixth capital of the cavalry school, two Turkic camps were broken, two were damaged, twenty-four enemies were captured, fourteen were killed in battle, no were seriously wounded, and thirty-two were lightly wounded!"

"In the scout camp, seven camps of the Qarluqs were broken, two were damaged, thirty-seven enemies were captured, none were killed, none were seriously wounded, and one hundred and thirty-four were lightly wounded!"

A large number of reports came up, there was no number of casualties, because there was no way to count it for the time being, Lao Luo found that except for the scout battalion, the basic results and losses were almost the same, and the first step of basically completing his tactical concept, but there were still some things worth noting, the battlefield during the cold weapon period, because it was a close-contact battle, was full of all kinds of sudden and unpredictable situations, and many times casualties were unavoidable - this was also his biggest headache, and he couldn't afford to lose due to limited troops, "Very good, everyone performed well in this battle, The corpses of the war dead must be collected well, and the seriously wounded personnel are all sent to the rear camp for recuperation, and the second is responsible for this matter! ”

"Yes, Lord!" There was an uproar.

"Safir? There are no examples of death in battle among your men and horses, so go back and summarize how you can save the lives of your men on the battlefield! "There is no need to talk about military merit rewards and the like here, but there is a West Dick Nord side in charge of statistics, not to mention that all the merits are recorded, and they will not be released until the East has a place of residence. Lao Luo attaches more importance to how to save the lives of soldiers while achieving victory, there is such a skill in the heat weapon war, and there must be the same method in the cold weapon era.

"Yes, Lord!" The named Safir is no longer the groom head of the Smarck time, and the enterprising guy understands that glory is not easy to come by.

"Scout Camp...... This is the first time you have received an attack mission, and the weapons used this time are special, so when the battle is over, you have to summarize the gains and losses, and why are there so many burns? Alck, you need to find out why! "Lao Luo actually has a different view of the scout battalion, because this class is very similar to his profession in later generations, but the problem is not without problems, soldiers who run on the front line all year round are easy to lose discipline, which is not a good thing.

"Yes, Lord!" Alke, who hurriedly ran back from the distant battlefield, didn't bother to tidy up his appearance, and his face was blackened with black ash and his white eyeshadow painted by his ethnic customs, which made people feel as funny as a little ghost.

"Okay, go eat if you're hungry, and rest if you're tired! There will be no movement of the enemy there until noon, and the people in the garrison camp will take turns to rest, and they must be ready to meet the enemy at any time! Looking at the sky, and feeling the distance again, Lao Luo clapped his hands and signaled everyone to disperse,

"Yes, Lord!" The morale of those who have won and those who are looking forward to fighting are high.

The captains jokingly left with each other, Lao Luo waved his hand and motioned for the few people left to sit down at will, and those who should eat quickly filled their bellies, and there was no need to be taboo if they had something to say......

"General, the enemies of those three divisions seem to have been frightened, we can defeat them in two charges at most, why stop and don't move?" Gonzas, who failed to play the role of a reserve team and was eager to attack, was the first to speak.

"No, Gonzas, the enemy...... Neither the Turks, nor the Qarluqs will be frightened, you know, before we came, they were the greatest power in this land, and the Turks were the masters of this land for hundreds of years, how could they be frightened by the loss of thousands of people? Lao Luo has long been in his heart, so naturally he will not be easily moved by Gonzas's words, although he is also an offensive character, but he knows how to attack better than the Thracian in front of him.

“…… Lord, are we just waiting here for their attack? Gonzhas was still a little unwilling, according to Thracian tradition, when he saw that the enemy was hesitant or confused, it was the most appropriate way to kill all the enemies in one go, rather than giving the enemy time to breathe and adjust, as is the case now.

"That's right, Gonzas, my goal is to force them to attack!" Lao Luo threw a cucumber at hand to the other party, and said calmly, "Gonzas, in time, you will become my general, you must understand that there is not only one way to attack, and it is not only a charge on a war horse to attack...... Look at those, what is it? ”

"General, do you mean those barricades?" Gonzas is not a stupid person, Lao Luo said it more bluntly, looking in the direction of Lao Luo's finger, it happened to be a barricade like a ring under the rising sun.

"Remember watching the tide on the shores of Athens?" Lao Luo didn't answer directly, but used the analogy that people habitually used at this time, "These car barriers are like reefs on the seaside, when the tide rushes up, does the tide break the reef or knock yourself to pieces on the reef?" ”

"You're right, Lord!" Gonzas is still very talented, and immediately understood Lao Luo's intentions, of course, this also benefited from Lao Luo's deliberate cultivation.

"They have to attack, and we beat them up, and if they don't, their hearts will be scattered......" Lao Luo said casually as he bit the roasted horse's leg in his hand, which was the food gathered on the battlefield. Having been through too much fighting, the smell of dead bodies in the air simply didn't dampen his appetite.

"What if they endure and don't attack?" Olki, who was in attendance, interjected.

"Hehe, Olki, remember those pine trees that you were told to cut down in the winter?"

"Remember, Lord, you said those trunks would be used to make ...... Pine cannon? ”

"That's right, remember that before leaving Kuzak, there was often a roar at the lake? That thing is going to blow everyone's mind. ”

P.S.: This plan adds one more change on the weekend.,As a result, the radio can't be used during the day.,The notebook has been crazy about occupying memory because it hasn't been updated for a long time...... As a result, it was still a little late, more than expected before 12 o'clock.

Thanks to the book friends "Wang Sandy" and "kgb136" for their tips!
