Chapter 0683. Don people, the bones are very hard!
After the decisive battle, the Tang army quickly returned to calm. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
Although today's battle is extremely fierce and cruel, but from the beginning of its establishment, the king of Fujian Tielin has not fought a fierce and cruel war, from the seductive people in the mountains of Fujian to Tianzhu, the Middle East, the Tang people have been accustomed to the life of expeditions, put down their weapons and wash the blood stains and sweat on their bodies, and then gather around their own groups to eat.
Except for a few teams that have lost too much or important people, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
The corpses of the wounded and the dead were also collected by the Red Gourd Team and the people, the lightly injured were washed and bandaged with water and alcohol, and the seriously injured were judged to be incurable, and the next medicine was directly administered, including ergot and hibiscus, and the hallucinations would help them get rid of the pain and finish the last journey peacefully.
For the wounded, there is no army that takes care of them as well as the Fujian State, and Li Jie can also have a clear conscience in the past, but today, he has been lingering in the wounded barracks for a long time and has not left for a long time.
"Your Highness, several ministers and generals have been waiting for a long time." Finally, Xiao Qilang, who couldn't wait, couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade, and Li Jie withdrew his guilty gaze and nodded.
"Let's go!"
Even the blazing red sun in the Middle East was still very dim for a while, and the sixteen butter tents were swaying, and the tents were cloudy and sunny, shining on the gloomy faces of the prime ministers and generals.
In fact, today's casualties are not large, even if the Arabs fought for their lives under the tragic attack, the real death is only more than 900, the light and serious injuries are mostly arrow wounds, relying on the excellent medical technology of Fujian, it will not be long before the vast majority of people can be healed, on the contrary, the Arabs, on the spot, there are 30,000 people killed on the spot, and there are about 50,000 in terms of severity and severity.
In the backward medical logistics of the Arab steppe culture, the next fate of the vast majority of the wounded is purulent infection, painful death, this day, equivalent to the cripple of one-fifth of the Arabs, with less blows, thousands of casualties in exchange for tens of thousands of casualties, how to say it is a magnificent victory, but all this is based on the Fujian State to save the magic weapon of life does not need money to throw out.
200 barrels of fierce fire oil were all used, 2,000 tiger squat cannons became decorations, not to mention gunpowder, lead shot shotguns were all fine, and finally even filled with stones and sand, and now it has completely become scrap metal, and the bronze Hongyi cannon has not moved today, but for the expedition, the Hongyi cannon originally did not bring much, this time there are only about 20 guns, and the propellant is enough for dozens of cannons.
These firepower are simply negligible among thousands of troops.
And the situation is even worse.
In three days, with the conscription of the Persian army, the Fujian State arranged a scattered stronghold around it, and today it was all swept away, not to mention the Arab army on the front, the 120,000 Byzantine army on the back advanced for a day, and it was also pushed to the Fujian Yankuai battalion less than five miles, and the 20,000 Armenian mercenaries also colluded with the Byzantines to defect, and Wang Fangyi's Tubo army and tens of thousands of Persian, Caucasus, and Tianzhu coalition troops were also forced back.
Fortunately, Li Jie decided to capture Jerusalem first, otherwise the military camp in the wilderness would not have been able to hold out for a day if it was surrounded by such a north-south attack.
Rao has a Jerusalem to rely on, but the situation is still corrupted to a limit, and everyone's mind is swirling with a problem.
Tomorrow! What to do?
"King Min has arrived!"
Sbratita's sharp voice is still so penetrating, but this time it is a little more complicated for the ministers of Min who are used to hearing it, in such a desperate situation, can the King of Min create miracles again?
"Meet King Min!"
"Excuse me!"
After waving his hand to exempt his team, Li Jie hurriedly returned to his seat, lost the cumbersome political etiquette of the past, and asked directly to the courtiers eagerly: "How are the dry food and water prepared by the various departments?" Is the mule mount in place underneath? ”
Wang Wei, who was in charge of logistics, stood up and saluted: "Back to Your Highness, there are no three water bottles, and the dry food has been almost distributed, but the peripheral water intake points are occupied, and the army can only get water from the wells of Jerusalem City, and it will take some time to equip the complete army."
"Let the army go faster, Wang Qing, you are here, prepare the gold and silver finances of the whole army, all of them will be gathered together, and they will be used by Lone!"
Which Arab general or Byzantines did you have to bribe? Hearing this, the ministers were kindled with a little hope, and at this moment, the herald captain outside suddenly hurried over.
"Your Highness, the Byzantine envoy has arrived at the barracks."
"Oh?"
Li Jie was obviously surprised, which made a group of courtiers confused for a while, could it be that this was not arranged by King Min?
"Let him in, and I'll hear what he has to say."
"Yes." The captain immediately looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time before whispering: "Your Highness, the Romans are arrogant, and they want His Highness to personally go outside the camp to meet the emperor's envoy!"
This sentence immediately made all the ministers of the Fujian State look gloomy, in the most dangerous time of Byzantium, the Fujian State brazenly sent troops to help Byzantium through the crisis of the collapse of the country, but now Byzantium stabbed the knife in the back, and arrogantly called the former alliance leader to greet him, how can it not make people angry?
But this time, although he was angry in his heart, no one recklessly proposed to kill the envoy or expel the envoy, no one knew if this was the last straw for the Fujian army, but Li Jie didn't think about it so much at all, and waved his hand impatiently: "Let him come in by himself, if he doesn't come in, he will be driven away with a whip, let him get out!"
These words are a boost, but Wang Xuance and Wang Fangyi have another layer of worry in their hearts, and they would rather bend than bend, maybe they are self-defeating!
After receiving the order, the captain went out very happily, and after a while, the Byzantine envoy finally came in by himself, but the domineering attitude in the big tent was still angry.
"The lowly Tang people, when they are dying, dare to be rude to the great Augustus envoys! You should all be killed and all of you should be reduced to slavery! ”
As soon as he came in, he didn't even do a salute, looking at the appearance of this fat guy jumping up and down, the ministers of Fujian couldn't help but be even more angry, not only him, but the two Byzantine guards who came with him were all bullish and coaxing, and Li Jie himself couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly at this scene.
"What the hell did that kid Constantine call you for?"
"Bold! How dare you call the great Augustus by his name! The fat man turned pale again, raised his head coaxively and shouted: "This envoy is the noble purple-robed patriarch Konstantin of the Senate, and he has brought the emperor's question, which is related to the life and death of you lowly Tang people, and the barbarian king Min Wang will not kneel down to greet him!"
This was even more excessive, and the grumpy veteran Dugu Yi simply jumped out, ignoring today's arrow wound and pointed at Konstantin's nose and scolded: "Bold thief, dare to be unreasonable in front of His Highness, where is the warrior in front of the palace, don't beat this arrogant man out!"
"Old general, the overall situation matters!" Wang Xuance on the side hurriedly grabbed Dugu Zheng, and just when the old guy was angry, he didn't want Li Jie to smile and waved his hand: "General Dugu is too excited, my Datang is a state of etiquette, how can I be so rude?"
"Your Highness!" Dugu was in a hurry, but at this time, Li Jie had already stood up and stepped down from the main seat, seeing Li Jie step by step towards the increasingly proud Constantine, all the ministers of the Min State showed a fierce look of shame.
The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the death of the ministers!
Fortunately, Li Jie did not kneel down to greet him as Konstantin thought, but circled around him meaningfully a few times, and then casually pointed at the Byzantine janissary on the left side of Konstantin's side.
"Your envoy said that this king is a barbarian king, this king does not admit it, I heard that Byzantium is also using eunuchs, medicine has always been a sign of civilization, why don't we discuss this aspect?"
"Come on, drag this person out and castrate! Show the Byzantine envoys the civilization of our Min country! ”
With Li Jie's order, the two guards immediately rushed in, dragging the panicked Byzantine janissaries out, the angry Constantine fat face was flushed, trembling fingers for a long time You didn't say why, after a while, there was a sudden scream outside, and then the next scream was a lot sharper, and Constantine, who listened to it, was fat and white, muttered a few barbarians in his native language, and then quickly took out Constantine's edict from his arms.
"Well, my lord Augustus ordered Lord Ben to bring you a proposal to the lowly, Ge, and Tang people, as long as the Min Kingdom is a vassal to Byzantium, and the head of our traitor Anna is handed over to Constantinople, and accepted Christian baptism, my lord will make you the king of Min the governor of Syria, give you Syria to settle down, provide support for you to fight against the Arabs, and let you live."
Originally, Tang Yu was not well controlled, and Konstantin's words were not neat, but after reading it, this fat guy became angry again, and now Tang people have been forced to a desperate situation, this is the only chance to survive! In his opinion, no one can resist the temptation to live!
In fact, when he spoke crookedly, the ministers of the Fujian State who listened to it were indeed bright-eyed. Now, that's a lifesaver!
"Your Highness, Gou Jian has endured lying on his back and tried his courage, this person's proposal is an expedient measure, relieving the danger of being attacked by the enemy, retreating to Syria, and gaining a chance to breathe, not without the opportunity to open up Mesopotamia and return to Beijing!" The tone changed to Wu language, Wang Wei hurriedly got out of class excitedly, and groaned, and Wang Xuance also nodded helplessly.
"Your Highness, but it's a pity for Princess Anna? Your Highness must know that those who have achieved great things are not informal, how can they delay the world's major events for a woman? This matter is feasible, please make a decision on this matter! Coming to Ji, Di Renjie also stood up one by one, several prime ministers quickly reached an agreement, the generals became speechless, and even the veteran Dugu Yi remained silent at this time.
In surprise, he looked at his team, half agreed, half silent, and was stunned, but Li Jie shook his head amusedly, and then tilted his head and ordered softly: "Wang Qing, go out and see how our army's supplies are going?"
was also stunned for a few seconds, Wang Wei reluctantly turned his head and went out, and circled around Konstantin who was triumphant again, under the gaze of the ministers, Li Jie gently put his head on Konstantin's ear, smiled and whispered.
"Let me tell you a secret, we lowly Tang people, the bones are very hard!"
