Lu Dongzan returned to the camp, the first thing he did was to order the whole army to retreat, the adjutant general around him had not yet figured out why, he saw Lu Dongzan said viciously: "Our soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but we can't spend meaninglessly on this camel city, we have very difficult days to live in the remaining years, save vitality first, withdraw the army!" And I am worried that after the Black Storm stops, the Tang Army will counterattack, this defeat, not the crime of war, all the fault is mine, the whole army keeps retreating to Black Stone Mountain. “

The Tubo people quickly packed their bags, and changed from the moment of attack to retreat, which still made many people wonder, Lu Dongzan crossed the trench again with a large group of men and horses, and said to the Turkic envoy in charge of contact: "You go back and tell the king of Sù Tushi, this time our army will do its best to attack, success or failure is in this battle, I only hope that the king can try his best to fight, and destroy this liao together, after the war, I Tubo will not dare to compete with the king!" “

Seeing the Tubo people who were full of generosity and sorrow and ready to go into battle, as well as the corpses everywhere, the Turkic envoy was also full of sorrow for the death of rabbits and foxes in his heart, and praised Lu Dong for the most noble etiquette of the steppe people, and then took his subordinates to hurriedly go back to the Turkic camp along the trail, preparing to tell him what he had seen and heard in the Tubo camp.

The Turks have the upper hand, their attack is easier, the Tubo people are downwind, their attack will be extremely difficult, since the Turks are holding on and preparing to win this battle, there is no reason why the Turks should not continue to participate in the strong attack.

Tu Shi, who was already injured, listened to the words of the envoy, glanced around the nobles of various clans, and then said to Elder Tuyuhun: "Elder, give the order to retreat, Lu Dongzan is leaving, we have a long way to go." And it was a headwind, very troublesome, under the camel city, we killed no less than 40,000 soldiers in sporadic battles, and no one knows better than us what kind of existence the camel city is.

Lu Dongzan's losses in this battle should be very large, and he may also feel that he can't do anything. Maybe they are already withdrawing their troops, and use us to drag Yun Ye's camel city so that they can get out easily.

Hehe, we have taken revenge for annihilating Guo Xiaoke, and now we can rest assured that we can go to the West to have a look, and I hope we can find a way to survive there. “

The messenger was still about to speak, but Tushi shook his hand and said, "You are a warrior, not a counselor, so I do not blame you for bringing false news." The Turks need each and every one of us to live well in the future, and only in this way can we open up new territories......"

Elder Tuyuhun sighed, and began to convey the general's order, and the Turkic coalition army began to completely disengage from contact with the camel city, and every time there was more contact, the coalition army would lose some more people.

The black storm passed, and without the support of the wind, the yellow sand and dust in the sky began to fall slowly. Yun Ye stretched out his hand, and in a moment. The hands were covered with a thin layer of loess.

At this time, the world is yellow, everything in the world is the same color, Liu Zhengwu constantly accepted the loss reports from all over the camel city, the biggest loss in this battle is livestock, especially pack horses, war horses have silk shields to protect the problem is not big. Many pack horses were already lying on the ground, covered in yellow sand, and had long since lost their voices.

The trebuchet continued to throw fire oil outward, which showed that the Tibetans were still on the battlefield, but according to the news passed by the captain, they were trying to retrieve the corpses of their own people, and they were not fighting at all. "It's time for the war to end. The Turks are retreating, the Tibetans are collecting their own corpses, and it seems that they have also retreated, and now, the old man doesn't believe that the Turks can still have the heart to go east? “

Du Ruhui did not bring a pig's mouth, but wrapped several layers of thick layers of silk around his face, and spoke in an urn voice, which looked extremely strange in such a withered yellow world. "No matter what their plans are, they still have to kill them, the Anxi Army's account is not settled clearly, the Tubo people have Li Jing to deal with, we can't control it, since the main force of the Turks is here, we must supervise their westward expedition and go to see it from afar."

Yun Ye said two words, it was extremely difficult, it was a luxury to say two more words in such ghost weather, naturally it was not a good time to sigh, and I thought that the cavalry could follow and pursue, but now it will not work at all, in the time of going down to the sand, the best response for people and animals is to stay in place like camels, stuff their mouths under their bellies and breathe slowly.

The Tubo people stubbornly used ropes to cover the necks or hands and feet of their comrades who had been killed in battle, and dragged them out of the dangerous trebuchet area, and the camel city did not dare to throw oil bombs or gunpowder bombs at will at this time, because it was easy to cause dust explosions, and the loess would not have exploded, but it was difficult to say after sticking to the oil oil, the last explosion almost killed the attacking Tubo people, it was a fluke, if there was a large-scale dust explosion now, Yun Ye himself did not know what the consequences would be.

Under the power of heaven and earth, human activities became incomparably small, after the Tibetans and Turks all withdrew from the trenches, the soldiers in the camel city began to re-erect the barbed wire fence and do a new defense, when this qiē was done, the whole camel city fell into boundless silence, only the light of the fire proved that there were signs of life here.

One last glance at the lights on the camel city, Lu Dongzan urged the army to march west with extremely complicated feelings, only by returning to the plateau could he feel a little comfort, where the qi plague (altitude sickness) given by his ancestors was the last barrier to protect his people. With a thick linen cloth on his face, Lu Dongzan really wanted to open his arms to explain to the heavens that his failure was not because of the disadvantage of the battle, but because the current battle had been out of the scope of the battle, and the heroic soldiers who rushed forward could only suffer a terrible slaughter, and the personal bravery could not compare to a small iron lump, and the soldier who could only grow into a soldier after eating eighteen years of barley would become a charcoal after a fire, how to fight such a battle? Perhaps these terrible weapons can only work after exhausting human lives, just like the Turks did against Guo Xiaoke, but the price of tens of thousands of people is too high for the Tibetans to afford.

It was not until evening that a round of white sun could be faintly seen in the sky, and under the white sun was the gray camel city, and the siege of hundreds of thousands of people did not seem to have done any harm to it, and it was still intact under that round of white sun, and this was the last time Tushi saw the camel city alive.

Guo Ping blew off the floating soil on the water, took a sip of water carefully, and then poured out the rest of the water. The fine floating soil has a greasy layer on the surface of the water, and it looks dirty.

There is a smell of earth everywhere, dust everywhere, they seem to be everywhere, every night when you take off your clothes, the loess on your hair will fall down, your eyelashes are covered with loess, you don't dare to rub your eyes when you get up in the morning, you need to wash your eyelashes.

Chen Shu is obviously more accustomed to this kind of life than Guo Ping, a mouthful of rice balls is squeaky and squeaky by him, he doesn't care about the mud and sand in the rice balls, and Guo Ping, who listens to it, almost wants to cover his ears.

"Bear with me, three or two days will pass, the dust will be clean, and now I will live, and if I don't eat a few taels of sand when I come to the Western Regions, I won't be considered to have been to the Western Regions."

Guo Ping looked at the still gray sky and said: "The Turks have left, and the Tubo people have also left, why do the big marshal stay here without moving?" Just let them slip away in vain? ”

Chen Shu laughed, pointed at Guo Ping and said, "A few days ago, you were still worried about repeating the mistakes of the past, why did you change your hexagram today?" Is the city outfit cowardly just talking about you? ”

Guo Ping glared at Chen Shu and got into the house, who can tell the ghost weather here? The sky was gray, but the ground was extremely hot, and there was not a trace of wind in the air.

The soldiers brought the stream in the crack of the stone to the camel city, and one stream of water was used for drinking, and the other water allowed it to flood under the camel city, and only in this way could the camels under the camel city be cooled.

Everyone is like a fish that has surfaced, breathing hard but still feeling suffocated.

Du Ruhui brushed away a layer of floating soil on the iceberg and said: "This black storm is very big, it is estimated that many oases in the desert will disappear, it is not easy to return to Broken Leaf City safely, or return to the Black Mountain Pass safely, the Tubo people and Turkic people are feeding on cattle and sheep, and the old man does not believe that after this storm, there are many cattle and sheep left." ”

Yun Ye hugged the teapot and said thoughtfully: "After the storm, some sand mountains will move, some roads will change, there are too many uncertain factors, even the camel city does not dare to go lightly, they don't know how far they can go in the absence of food and water?" ”

"That's not necessarily, each ethnic group can survive and will inevitably have their own unique skills, the Western Regions are from the Western Regions in the final analysis, we are just passers-by, and we are far less familiar with this land, so we can't take it lightly."

The weather is hot and humid, and he can only drink water constantly, and the smell of camels keeps coming up under the wooden grid, Yun Ye is still not used to it, but seeing Du Ruhui squeaking a sip of tea, and then shaking a pu fan seems to be leisurely, the old guy doesn't seem to be in a hurry to go back to Chang'an at all.

"Now that the road has been opened, shouldn't you go back to Chang'an, there are a total of six documents from the Ministry of War, five of which are asking the juniors why they want to put you in danger, if you don't go back, I'm worried that an angel will come and capture me and enter Beijing to ask for the crime." Yun Ye has always wanted to throw out the big burden of Du Ruhui, but it is not a matter to carry it on his back, in case there is a good one, Li Erneng will pick his own skin when he returns to Chang'an.

"You kid, it's not true to be a man, you Uncle Du and I finally found a good way to live a free life, so you have to drive me away? I won't go, it's useless to go back, it's better to stay with you, every day there are endless desert scenery, endless delicacies of the mountains and seas, and divine light to bathe, of course, the most important thing is that there are military merits to take.

Boy, did you write the sentence that the old man braved the arrows and stones to supervise the battle? beheaded 50,000 and got out of the encirclement, the old man didn't want to miss it. (To be continued......)
