Chapter 444: Clearing the Battlefield
Li Yanhuo looked at the distant backs of Sanger and the others, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Dayu smacked fiercely on the side and said, "If you have something urgent to go back, I think he was just scared by the magic arrow just now." ”
Li turned his head and asked Li Dayu quietly, "King Xi, I don't know what your plans are?" ”
"Huh? What are the plans? Li Dayu didn't react for a while, he didn't know what Li meant by the question.
"I mean, now that the Turks are gone, the rest is up to us, do you decide to retreat right now, or do you continue to attack until you wipe them out?"
"I haven't really thought about it!" Li Dayu scratched his head and said, "I don't know what the Khitan King has?" ”
Li Yanhuo thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's also a good thing for us that the Turks are gone, we can't let go of our hands and feet with them, now we only need to make our own decisions, and we don't have to worry so much." ”
Li Dayu asked, "Then you mean that you are going to fight with the remaining Tang Army?" ”
Li Weihuo nodded and said: "Although we defeated the Tang army, we actually got very little oil and water. And the Tang army in front of us, although the number is small, but there are hundreds of carts, and the things loaded on these carts will definitely not be less, and if they are eliminated, won't all these things belong to us? When the time comes, you and I will divide it half, how about it? ”
When Li Dayu heard this, he couldn't help but light up and said: "If nothing else, if those ballistas that can shoot giant arrows are captured, then we will be worth it!" ”
Li Yanhuo looked at Li Dayu and asked, "How is it?" Do you want to do it? ”
"! With such a big piece of fat in front of you, it would be a fool not to do it. Li Dayu agreed without hesitation.
Got Li Dayu. Li Shihuo quietly looked at the Tang troops encamped on the edge of the Xiaoluan River, and couldn't help sighing. In fact, Li Yanhuo didn't care about the baggage on those big cars. The real idea in his heart was to compete with the Tang army on the opposite side, and he could scare away the invincible Turks, which showed that the main general of the other party was not a simple person.
……
When Li Tao and Qiu Baiyu returned to the car formation, he was surprised to find that Xue Ne and Wang Haibin were also in the formation.
Li Tao frowned and looked at Pei Yue on the side: "Uncle Yue, why haven't they crossed the river yet?" ”
Before Pei Yue could answer, Xue Ne replied first: "King Lantian." Before the expedition, His Majesty gave me a will, and His Majesty's original words were: 'If the King of Lantian has the slightest mistake, come and see you!' So I can't go. ”
Li Tao said patiently: "Old Xue." You can leave with confidence, I'm fine, you wait for me in Danzhou, I'll go to Danzhou to find you when I'm done here! ”
"No, I can't. I can't go. I've got to follow you! Xue Ne shook his head.
Li Tao became angry when he heard this: "What's the use of following me, do you want to protect me?" Now that you're in a loss, what do you do to protect me? ”
Xue Ne was stunned, and said stiffly: "I am the general of the defeated army, and I really have no ability to protect you, but I can still accompany you to die in danger, which is enough!" ”
Li Tao was also stunned when he heard Xue Ne's words, and he was stunned for a long time. Li Tao sighed and said, "Old Xue, I didn't mean to ridicule you. I think it's safer for you to go back to Danzhou. If you really want to stay, then be it! ”
The frustrated Xue Ne, his face showed a rare hint of joy, he was about to open his mouth, but Li Tao spoke first: "However, we can get the three chapters of the covenant, you can see and listen to it here, and you are not allowed to interfere with my command, otherwise I will send someone to send you away immediately!" ”
Xue Ne nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, I'm dumb and blind here, you just don't exist for me." ”
Li Tao no longer paid attention to Xue Ne, but stared at Wang Haibin: "Why don't you leave?" ”
"Lantian King, there are too few people here, my subordinates basically have no loss because of the timely retreat, I can stay and help you!"
Who knew that Li Tao was not merciful, and said with a tiger face: "A war is not something that can be won by a large number of people, and it will not be defeated because there are few people." If that were the case, the army of 60,000 would not have become so embarrassed. You'd better take your people with you, I don't need you here! ”
"Lantian King, listen to me......"
Wang Haibin was about to speak, but Li Tao waved his hand and interrupted: "Needless to say, you better go!" ”
"Lantian King, my subordinates and I will never cause trouble for you, if it really doesn't work, let them be helpers for the auxiliaries, and they can also do their part!"
Seeing that Li Tao was still hesitating, Wang Haibin knelt down on one knee and pleaded: "King Lantian, please, let us stay!" ”
Li Tao shook his head slowly and said, "Why are you so troubled?" ”
Wang Haibin said with a sad and indignant face: "If the real sword and real gun lose, it would be fine, but the 60,000 army was defeated in such a daze, I don't accept it!" Even if I can't gallop the battlefield and fight to the death with the Khitans, let me cheer for the Lantian King on the sidelines, I will feel better. ”
Li Tao stepped forward to help Wang Haibin up: "Just for your enthusiasm, I will answer you." ”
"Thank you Lantian King!" Wang Haibin said gratefully.
"That's it! Let's talk about the losses in this battle first! Li Tao asked.
Wang Haibin said with a gloomy face: "Less than 10,000 of the 60,000 people fled to Xiaoluanhe!" ”
Li Tao frowned and said, "Such a big loss? ”
Wang Haibin nodded and said, "Most of the casualties were caused by the trampling of our own cavalry, and some were killed by the pursuit of the enemy's cavalry. Not only the sergeants, but also the generals also lost a lot, and even Cui Tingshi was killed. ”
Li Tao asked again: "The only wooden bridge over the Xiaoluan River has been destroyed, who is now directing the rest of the people to cross the river?" ”
Wang Haibin replied: "Now it is General Li Kailuo and General Li Sijing who are organizing the river crossing. ”
"Li Sijing!" Li Tao gritted his teeth and muttered, it seemed that he hated Li Sijing a lot.
"Little master, look!" At this moment, Pei Yue Pei Yue suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.
Everyone looked around, only to see that the Khitan and Xi coalition forces had begun to camp in the same place.
"Looks like it's been consumed by me!" Li Tao sneered: "If they retreat in the face of difficulties, I really can't do anything about them." I didn't expect them to stay, isn't it looking for death? ”
After that, Li Tao instructed Pei Yue: "Uncle Yue, send someone to inform the other party, two hours before dark, both sides will collect the corpses and bury them, such a hot weather, if you don't deal with it in time, it is easy to catch the plague." ”
"Yes!" Pei Yue turned around and left.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the battlefield had been cleared by both sides.
Li Tao stood in the car formation and looked into the enemy camp, only to see that the Khitans had set up thousands of felt tents five hundred meters away from the car array, stretching for several miles. Li Tao just watched quietly, no one knew what he was thinking. (To be continued......)
