Chapter 65: Arrive!
Seeing that his subordinates were killed by the soldiers of Silla and Datang and were powerless, Yoshino Inu gritted his teeth and looked at Du Roger and roared, "Du Roger, you Silla are waiting to bear the endless wrath of my Yamato Empire!" Everyone, give me a retreat! ”
With the defection of Silla, the garrisons, who had lost hope of survival, saw the dawn of victory. So much so that in www.biquge.info the next battle, everyone exerted twice their strength, cooperating with the Silla soldiers to continuously strangle the Dongying Division.
After nearly a day of fierce fighting, the battle ended with Yoshino Inu retreating to a dense forest west of Andong with less than 40,000 remnants.
Watching the enemy's retreat, there were no imaginary cheers and shouts in Andong City at this moment. The entire city of Andong and the soldiers who were still standing or falling to the ground were all in a state of indescribable sorrow.
Looking at the devastation in the city, how many people will lie there forever on the battlefield like Shura's hell, unable to reunite with their families again! How many families will be torn apart because of this!
I don't know how long later, a woman's sobs rang out in a corner. As if this sound is contagious, one, two, three...... Suddenly, people could no longer suppress the sadness in their hearts, and tears welled up in their eyes like a flood that burst the embankment. Andong City, which was originally full of dead silence, was instantly overwhelmed by the earth-shattering cries. One by one, people rushed out of the house and ran towards the battlefield, looking for their families, the pillars of the family!
On the battlefield, Du Roger had gathered the exhausted Silla soldiers. According to statistics, there was originally an army of 80,000, of which 50,000 will lie on this land forever!
Holding back the grief and indignation in his heart, Du Roger ordered everyone to stand by in place. Now Silla has no way out, and the only way to survive now is to be accepted by the Tang Dynasty and alliance, otherwise the fate of this small country of Silla awaits only destruction!
Liu Shuming stood on the city wall with red eyes, looking at the mountain of 'corpses' in front of him! Those who have not witnessed it can never imagine what a shocking picture it is to have nearly 100,000 corpses in front of them.
I once heard how cruel and shocking the war was when I went to take the exam in Chang'an. In the past, Liu Shuming couldn't understand the meaning of this, but now Liu Shuming understands it thoroughly!
Liu Shuming wants to shout to the sky at this moment, 100,000 people! What kind of concept is 100,000? As far as Andong City is concerned, it is almost half of the total population of Andong City! 100,000 lives were lost in less than a day! Liu Shuming knew that if there were no Silla people defecting today, this number would only be more! War? What exactly are you fighting for!
Silently shed tears, this is the tears shed as a parent official for those righteous people who died protecting their homeland. Liu Shuming instructed Huang Cheng beside him, "Immediately send someone to clean up the battlefield, gather the corpses in one place, and prepare for cremation." In addition, you have to arrange for people to treat the wounded with all their might, and no one can be left behind! ”
Huang Cheng was ordered to retire.
Liu Shuming walked down the city tower and walked out of the north gate towards Du Roger.
"My lord, where are you going?" As soon as he walked to the city gate, a guard said to Liu Shuming.
Liu Shuming pointed to the Silla area, "I'll come when I go!" ”
When the guard heard that Liu Shuming was going to the Silla area, he immediately exclaimed, "Don't, my lord!" I still don't know if this barbarian is sincere, you are too dangerous in the past now. You wait here, I'll call him to you!" ”
Stretching out his hand to stop the guard, Liu Shuming said in a resolute tone: "No one is allowed to follow, this county will go over in person, no need to say more!" ”
The crowd hurriedly shouted, "My lord! ”
Liu Shuming ignored everyone and walked straight towards Du Roger.
When he came to Du Roger's side, Du Roger was the first to speak, "Meet the county magistrate!" ”
"What do you call it?"
Du Roger bent down 90 degrees and said sincerely: "Sinner, Prince Silla, Du Roger!" He was also the general of the Silla South Expedition. ”
Liu Shuming acted as the capital of Roger to the Tang Dynasty officials, "Hello General Du, I am the county commander of Andong City, Liu Shuming." ”
"It turned out to be Liu County's order!" Du Roger, who knew the official system of the Tang Dynasty, understood that the person in front of him should be the person with the highest status here at present. Thinking of this, Du Roger spoke: "Liu County Order, there was some misunderstanding before this. My Silla has no intention of being an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and seeing that my Silla has paid such a heavy price for this, I hope that my lord can say a few good words for the Tang Emperor! ”
At the beginning, although he hated Silla and Dongying joining forces to attack Andong City, in the great changes that followed, Liu Shuming also saw Silla's sincerity and determination. If it weren't for Silla's sudden rebellion, Andong City would have fallen at this moment, right? Thinking of this, Liu Shuming spoke directly, "For everything that happened today, the lower officials can only guarantee the details, and present the original to the saint." In the end, how the Holy Lord decides, please forgive the lower officials and there is nothing they can do. ”
"It's good, it's good! I believe that the wise Tang Emperor will definitely understand the sincerity of my Silla! "So far, Du Roger has no more leverage than to echo it. It would be very good if Liu Shuming could sue the Tang Emperor without adding oil and vinegar! After all, before this, Silla Ke had also killed a lot of Tang soldiers!
Seeing this, Liu Shuming couldn't help but ask: "Now that my Anton is in this disaster, my Anton has suffered heavy casualties, I wonder if I can ask General Du to help clean up the battlefield?" Of course, for the next few days, we will provide all of you with food, what do you think? ”
Du Roger is still looking for something to pluck the thighs of the court at this moment! Hearing what Liu Shuming said, Du Roger instructed his subordinates without saying a word: "Everyone help clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." During this period, friction fights are prohibited, do you understand? ”
"Yes!"
………………
When Lin Yi, Wang Mengyao, and Yang Su hurried overnight, they finally came to the outside of Andong City the next morning after the war stopped.
"Huh~~"
Tightening the horse's rope, Lin Yi stopped the horse and spun around twice in place. From a distance, Lin Yi looked at the 'pile-up' corpses outside the north gate of Anton City, and Lin Yi was really shocked at this moment!
As a person with the soul and mind of a modern person, Lin Yihe has never seen such a shocking picture!
There are several 'corpse mountains' made of human corpses, and how many corpses must be piled up to form this 'towering' corpse mountain in front of you!
"Is it still too late?" Thinking of those hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, "No!! Lin Yi roared like a madman, stepped heavily on the horse's back, soared into the air, and flew away in the direction of the city.
With an extremely heavy heart, Wang Mengyao and Yang Su glanced at each other, is it really too late?
