The general's words carried a hint of desolation, and everyone fell silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Actually, they were fighting desperately, perhaps just to the death. In the entire ranks of the Tang Army, in addition to the 100 killed in the battle and more than 50 wounded, there were less than 200 people left. Basically, half of their combat power was accounted for here, and what they got in the end was only nearly a hundred war horses and some armor equipment.

Zhang Hui and Bai Tan summed it up, and finally followed the Tang army back to their village. It's a few dozen miles around here, in a hidden canyon. There were about 1,000 people here, but most of them were women and children, and there were only a hundred or so young men who could serve as soldiers.

There are no old people, not even slightly older ones. I am afraid that those people died on the defensive walls during the invasion of the Tibetan army, or on the way to retreat.

There are a lot of women and children, and as soon as these soldiers go, many women immediately come up. They led the horses and bandaged the wounded. The soldiers who did not come back were silent.

Yan Hanshui could see that it was indeed the same as what the general said. These people are full of twilight, and even have begun to become numb to death. Never mind.... Here, Yan Hanshui is not going to hide it. This is the time to establish prestige, not to protect others in the shadows. Of course... This has to be said by Bai Tan himself, and coupled with the ability of smoke and cold water, he can quickly improve his status.

But the good thing is that this canyon has a water source, and there is really a lot of cultivated land that is not too small. It's not big, but it's better than nothing. So they have always been very short of grain and grass here, which is also the reason why this Tang Army is half soldier and half horse bandit. After all, there is too little youth labor, and all young people must become soldiers.

Even the only women and children who farmed the land were able to do it, but although life was a little harder, they were still alive. The smoke and cold water were on Bai Tan's shoulders, and he followed them to a house. After all, a tent is not like a home, only a house is considered a family. Therefore, these people of the Tang Dynasty, inheriting the tradition of the Han people since ancient times, began to build houses everywhere.

A classical Chinese house with a large table and a group of people sitting down as guests. The general hugged his fist at the group: "Welcome to this sweet water ditch today, if you want to join us, we welcome." If you want to continue your trip to Anxi, we are welcome as well. After all, whether you are here or go to Anxi, it will always be the land of our Datang. ”

"Okay, let's make a formal introduction, you can call me Li Wei, or General Li or whatever. At present, there are about 1,700 people in charge of this sweet water ditch. This... Alas... There were quite a few dead in the battle today, only about 1,500 people. Among these people, the available combat strength is estimated to be less than five hundred, and the rest are women and children. Our situation is not very good, because once the Tibetans find out, what awaits us is a massacre. ”

"Therefore, we can only keep fighting the Tibetan soldiers from a distance. Hopefully diverting their attention elsewhere, but that would be too much of a loss to us. Li Wei briefly talked about the situation here.

Yan Hanshui thought for a while: "There are more than 1,500 people in total, which is equivalent to a thousand people who need to support more than 500 troops. This ratio is quite deformed, and it is no wonder that they must go out and rob, otherwise there will be no supply of food and grass at all. And although these people are not afraid of death in war, after all, the disadvantage in numbers is too great. ”

Bai Tan and Zhang Hui, as well as Ling'er from the women's team, discussed it. In the end, they all felt that if they looked at the situation here, the sandbar not far away must be fighting, and even if they wanted to go to Anxi, it might not be easy. Therefore, soon these people all said to Li Wei and asked to join this sweet water ditch.

Li Wei was very happy, because in their group, there were more than ten adult males, and they had obviously practiced. And Bai Tan, these women, instinctively assigned to the logistics department. After explaining some things in the back mountain, Li Wei directly asked Bai Tan and them to do some laundry and take care of the wounded.

Bai Tan naturally quit, and Zhang Hui's people also explained the role of Bai Tan's people. When they heard that their victory today was due to the wind and sand caused by Bai Tan, everyone was a little wary of them.

Yes, be vigilant. After all, I have heard the stories of myths and legends, but I have seen a few. Many times human beings are Ye Gong good dragons, and when they really saw the real dragon come out, they were so scared that they peed their pants. And Bai Tan's ability made Li Wei and these soldiers feel that it was too incredible. And some wonder why they joined themselves, whether it was to confuse them, or whether these women were monsters or something, etc.

Bai Tan didn't say anything, she originally spoke with the feeling of Su Su, but it was not suitable for negotiation. "Can you find a room and a set of women's clothes?" Our captain wants to talk to you, don't say no. Bai Tan pointed to Yan Hanshui, now Yan Hanshui is a cat.

Yan Hanshui could see that those soldiers had already put their hands on their weapons, and they were obviously very nervous. Yan Hanshui "meowed" and jumped on the table. She didn't do anything else, and took out the seal letter of the previous Illino assassin. Then he stretched out his paw and wrote on the table, "If we want to harm you, why should we help you?" We are all people from the Tang Dynasty, and we have to rotate our qualifications, and my father-in-law's status is much higher than yours. ”

Li Wei picked up the letter and looked at it, many generals in this era were more or less literate. Especially the group of festival envoys, all of them are great poets. If you want to be a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty, you can't do it without both civil and military skills. Li Wei looked at the seal letter carefully, and pressed the small seal under his own injury. Then he raised his nose and sniffed it, and found that there was blood on it.

The Ling'er who had been rescued by Yan Hanshui said to Li Wei: "That was before, this Engong saved us and killed one of the leaders of Shatuo. And with his blood, he left a mark. Engong said that this was only the beginning of Datang's revenge. Checkmate... Engong can become a raccoon slave without looking at it, but his strength is very strong. ”

Li Wei nodded, and then said to a woman not far away: "Lady, please take this raccoon slave to the back room, and find her a dress when she becomes a human." ”

The woman turned out to be Li Wei's wife, and although she was curious, she didn't ask much. About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Hanshui walked out in military uniform. She asked to wear a military uniform, which was a bit difficult for Mrs. Li. In the end, he found a thin soldier's clothes and gave them to Yan Hanshui. Of course, the people who were originally wearing clothes would have died in battle long ago.

Yan Hanshui naturally doesn't care about this, and after changing his clothes, he also looks heroic. And Yan Hanshui tied up his long hair and fixed it with a hairpin. After Yan Hanshui returned to this house, he arched his hand to Li Wei: "Yan Hanshui, the righteous daughter of Yuan Guangting, the former assassin of Yizhou, has seen the general!" ”
