Chapter 19: Heavy losses
readx;
Mohe Baha said murderously, and the cold and piercing words made all the soldiers around him feel a chill down their spines. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but thinking of those brothers who died in battle, there was also a bloodthirsty expression in his eyes.
They are a group of people who are used to fighting, and they have long regarded the lives of others as a mustard. Xue Yantuo killed their brothers, and they killed Xue Yantuo's people, cattle and sheep. In their opinion, it is a matter of course.
In fact, as long as Mohe Baha calms down and thinks about it calmly, he will find that Duhe's statement has a big loophole and is not perfect.
But Mohbach is not a Duho, and not everyone has that kind of talent for reasoning. Mohbahar is a man who trusts his intuition more than he thinks, and his intuition is yes and no. There is no reason at all.
In Mohe Baha's subconscious, Xue Yantuo is a traitor, which is also related to the betrayal of Yi Nan back then. In the past, when the Eastern Turks were reaching their peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, the civil strife provoked by the Turks and Ashina Sheer made the Eastern Turks pay a great price.
Just when the Eastern Turks needed Xue Yantuo's help, Yi Nan chose the Tang Dynasty and rebelled against his father Jieli Khan, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Eastern Turks, so that the Tang Dynasty could fight a battle.
People have a kind of reluctance to let people turn their backs, although the Tang Dynasty is the culprit of the extermination of the Eastern Turks, but in Mohe Baha's heart is a matter of course, the two sides are in the enemy of each other, either you die, or I die, there is nothing to complain about.
Xue Yantuo is different, as the betrayed party, the hostility is even more serious.
Therefore, Mohe Baha hates Xue Yantuo in his heart, and he hates Datang even more. It's just that more than a decade has passed, and some things have faded into oblivion. Faced with Xue Yantuo's sincerity this time, Mohe Baha chose to believe. However, the appearance of the problem made him remember Xue Yantuo's betrayal again, and he believed Du He's imperfect lie, and he firmly believed it.
Even Duhe couldn't have imagined that it would have such an effect.
Dadu's mood at this time was terrible, and he was walking back and forth in the camp, and his heart was extremely anxious.
He had already received the news that the army of the Four Routes had been attacked, and there was only one thought in his mind: he had been tricked, teased like a monkey by Mohe Baha.
What is an alliance with Xue Yantuo to deal with the Tang Dynasty together, all of this is.
Mohe Bahar is the son of Jieli Khan, and Xue Yantuo also contributed a lot of strength to the destruction of the Eastern Turks, and is one of the culprits. How could Mohe Baha be so kind to deal with the Tang Dynasty with Xue Yantuo?
I have to say that at this moment, Dadu's thoughts and thoughts are essentially the same as Mohe Baha's.
They don't trust each other, and if everything goes well, they will gradually get along. But when exceptions occur, mutual distrust becomes their fatal wound.
Because of their distrust, Mohba had come to regard Xue Yanta as an enemy; Because of their distrust, Dadushi positioned Mohorbaha as the culprit without any deep thought.
As for the real culprit Du He, he was like a passer-by who played soy sauce, which directly made the two ignore it.
Dadu set up a kick to knock over the eye-catching case, and thought indignantly: "It's hateful, it's so hateful." Mohbahar...... You bastard, I'm generous, I can't spare you......" venting the anger in his heart indiscriminately, his mind shifted to Du He's body again, and said in his heart: "This time, we are planted." There is a word of suffering, that is, I don't know if Du He is dead or not...... If Duhe hadn't died, we would have lost a lot in this battle. ”
He begged his father to tell his grandmother, and kept praying in his heart, praying that Du He would die in the mountains.
Things are out of their control, and the only hope is to achieve the goal. Only in this way will they not be defeated and the bamboo basket will be empty.
As a result, Zidang let him down.
Duhe returned, and not only did he return unharmed, but he returned to the camp with honor and praise.
After Xi Wei gave up the pursuit of Mohe Baha, he joined Duhe, and the two sides also talked about their experiences.
Xi Wei is the cup on the coffee table, when he was on the mountain, the crockpot smashed on his head like he had eyes, and the whole person was drenched with oil. When the fire broke out, his whole body was surrounded by flames. If it weren't for him being a general, more than 50 guards would have saved him desperately, and whether Xi Wei could be alive or not was a question.
As a general, Xi Wei was treated like this, and the other soldiers naturally said differently. In the narrow mountain road, there is no water and no help, and it is difficult to escape, and it is difficult to avoid heavy losses.
Although his guards suffered heavy losses, his courage was invincible, in order to save them from the besieged soldiers, he took the lead, and after those Xue Yantuo soldiers who fought side by side with Du He, they quickly spread and won the admiration of the public.
Especially in the battle of Mohe Baha in ten moves, the thought of defeating Mohe Baha, the famous warrior Xi Wei in the clan, in two moves, made Du He easily get it, and that respect for the strong pushed him to the peak of fame and won a lot of admiration.
At this point, Du He himself was unexpected.
Looking at Du He intact, the face set up by Magnanimity was like eating poop.
Counting the number of casualties after the war, he looked at the data in front of him, and his face was the same as that of a lizard, his hands trembled uncontrollably.
The army of the Five Routes, 100,000 soldiers and horses, under the attack of the fire array, Xue Yantuo paid the price of 23,621 people. Such huge casualties are no less than a bloody battle with a fierce enemy. Xue Yantuo has not suffered such huge casualties for more than ten years.
Du He was also a little stunned when he heard this data, even if he set up a bureau, he didn't expect such an effect.
But when you think about it, it makes sense.
First of all, the oil oil, this thing doesn't need to be said much, the end is powerful; The second is the geographical advantage, the mountain road is narrow, once the fire is ignited, the soldiers are crowded in one place, and there is no escape. Next is the climate, the climate in the north is different from the south, the winter in the south is very wet, while the north is dry, in the absence of rain and snow, it is easy to cause fires, plus just after autumn, there are a lot of dry thorn bushes and leaves on the mountain, these are flammable items. In the end, it was winter, and Xue Yantuo's soldiers were wearing hunted animal skin coats. This kind of coat, which ignites immediately when it meets fire, is also one of the keys to the tragedy, in addition to the help of strong winds.
Under so many disadvantages, the five fires naturally burned darkly, making Xue Yantuo pay an extremely heavy price.
In fact, Du He really wanted to see the expressions of Dadu and Yi Nan after seeing such huge casualties, what is this called, stealing chickens does not make rice, and it can also be said that Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.
It was they who decided to form an alliance with Mohe Baha, and it was they who decided to deal with the Tang Dynasty together with Mohe Baha, but now let "Mohe Baha" give it to Yin, send it to the door, and let them kill it, what a stupid act, they are suffering at the moment, and they can't say it.
That expression must be quite exciting, but it's a pity that neither of them will show this emotion in front of Du He.
Should this battle be a victory, or a defeat?
There is no need to worry about this, anyway, Du He patted his ass at the moment, looking like he had nothing to do with me, and went back to Xue Yantuo's Khan Court to see Yi Nan.
Dadu was also among his peers, but he specially left all the soldiers and horses, continued to besiege Yu Dujun Mountain, and sent soldiers to search for him on the mountain, with a posture of not crushing Mohe Baha's bones and ashes, and vowing not to give up.
"I'm so sorry!" Du He bowed his head in front of Yi Nan very reverently: "It's all my fault, the tactics are not appropriate, so that Xue Yantuo suffered such a heavy loss." ”
Yi Nan hated so much that he almost slapped himself, and Du He's self-blame was tantamount to trampling their dignity under his feet. In their eyes, Duhe certainly had bad intentions, but compared to them completely revealing their military operations to Mohe Bahar, so that the other party was prepared early, it was obviously "kind-hearted".
He also knew that it was his own fault that he had done all this, so he didn't dare to blame Du He, and said good things with a smile.
Du He was happy in his heart, and secretly thought: "If Yi Nan knows that all this is his fault, I don't know how he will react." ”
Yi Nan said: "Thousands of calculations, I can't imagine that Mohe Baha, a group of horse thieves, is so cunning, if it weren't for General Du's sworn battle, the situation would be worrying." Now that Mohbahar has been defeated by the generals and is dying in the mountains, it is impossible to completely destroy them in a short time. However, General Du was relieved...... The enemy of the Tang Dynasty is the enemy of my Xue Yantuo, even if I flatten the mountain of Yu Dujun, I will cut off the head of Mohe Baha. ”
Du He squinted his eyes and smiled secretly, Yi Nan's practice of killing everything like this is probably going to anger Mohe Baha, who is hiding in the deep mountains, and it is really a correct move to let the tiger return to the mountain by himself. He said quietly: "Then everything will be tiring Khan." ”
Yi Nan waved his hand disapprenorovingly and said: "General Du doesn't have to be polite, please tell His Majesty Tian Khan, as long as I Yi Nan is here...... No enemy who is hostile to the Tang Dynasty will be able to survive on the grassland. ”
He expressed his loyalty to Du He with a straight face, and the matter had reached this point, and it was irreparable. can only be happy in the bitterness, so that Du He can not find the opportunity to send troops to Xue Yantuo, and at the same time, he is also expressing Xue Yantuo's loyalty, hoping to move Li Shimin, so that this is the Tang Emperor Mo Zai regarded Xue Yantuo as a thorn in his side and a thorn in the flesh.
Datang is too strong, Xue Yantuo can't afford to hurt it!
Du He didn't intend to be too forced, his purpose was not really to start a war with Xue Yantuo, in case Xue Yantuo was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, then his efforts would be in vain.
Du He understands and understands the principle of accepting it when he sees it.
So he explained the itinerary to Yi Nan and said that he would leave tomorrow and return to Datang.
Yi Nan couldn't wait to send away the big Buddha of Duhe, how dare he have any objections, and immediately asked people to prepare a generous gift, planning to send him away.
