It is difficult to accept the results of the battle, and the number of brothers who did not come back reached more than 360 people.

More than a dozen gunpowder shells exploded at once, and the sound spread like a tide, and the people and horses who were closer to the Zhijiao were deafening, followed by thick smoke and scattered sand and stones flying rapidly.

Xue Li didn't have time to set up a directional blast this time, but he saw a small hole about half a foot deep about five feet above the ground at the entrance, just enough to put down a dozen gunpowder bullets.

In a hurry, he saw that Li Shimin had entered the first line of heaven, so he lit the fuse, and then quickly chased after Li Shimin.

As soon as it was blown up, the mountain was blown up and a square boulder weighing several thousand catties came down, and when the sound wave echoed, it fell sideways at the entrance of the official road, just stuck at the entrance, leaving only a half-foot-high gap at the bottom.

The boulder separates the inside and outside of the official road, and the sound of explosions from time to time outside should be those comrades who have not yet died buying time for the living.

Broken bones are their only fate, and the living will never dare and will not forget them in their lives, this is the righteousness of comrades.

The horses galloped forward uncontrollably, and the huge explosion and the narrow environment of the official road, coupled with the echo, made the impact on them more uncomfortable than humans.

The order was too hasty, and the knights, who had not had time to turn around, had no chance, and collided with the rapidly retreating front army, which turned into an even greater disaster.

The screams were endless, the war horses in Qinzhou City did not nail the horseshoe, and stepped on the people and the same kind who fell to the ground, soft, the horse's legs were tripped and fell to the ground, and the casualties were incalculable.

The horseshoe was fine, and they were either injured or killed where they tread, but they could still barely stand and gallop forward.

All of a sudden, the wailing and screaming had overshadowed the sound of the horse's hooves, Li Shimin closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it again, he barely controlled the horse, standing in the middle of the official road, tears falling, and his heart was like a knife.

It was only three or four miles from here to that open field, and more than 6,000 horsemen had lined up in that open field, and when the loud sound came back to the rear team, the leading lieutenant of the rear team knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly organized the knights to move to the open field, which avoided greater stampede casualties.

In order to prevent the enemy from chasing after him, the collapse of the mountain pass caused greater casualties, Xue Li jumped off the horse with the danger of injuring his legs, came to Li Shimin's horse, knelt on the ground, and wanted to cry without tears.

Liu Hongji helplessly watched the crazy war horses trample on each other, no one could stop this situation, the power of more than a dozen gunpowder bombs exploding together was too great, even the ground shook, and the frightened war horses no longer galloped, they could only wait for them to calm down.

The only thing not to worry about is the pursuers behind, they are blocked from the falling boulders, and they will not be able to pass for a while.

The open space saved them, and many of the horses had gradually slowed down when they ran here, and some knights on the horses had already controlled the horses and retreated to the official road, and the horses without knights were pacified by the knights who stayed in the clearing.

Li Shimin opened his eyes and saw Xue Li kneeling in front of his horse in frustration, and shouted: "Get up, the blame for this matter is not yours, your emergency response is right, I was too careless, and I despised Xue Ju, the old fox, now, your task is to let more brothers return to Qinzhou alive, go!" ”

Xue Li responded with tears streaming down his face, he stood up, took an ownerless war horse from the side, and limped forward.

The picture is too miserable, the official road is not wide and there are broken corpses everywhere, and the smell of blood mixed with feces, urine and other unknown smells wafts in the air, which is disgusting.

Liu Hongji didn't bother Li Shimin anymore, and helped Xue Li, whose legs were injured, to climb onto the horse, and the two slowly approached the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, hoping to find the living brother.

The school has finally opened, today is August 20, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xiuning is missing his family in Chang'an, and he is not in a good mood these days.

So Yang Man became the gentleman of the first lesson of enlightenment, not in the school, seventy-six students lined up in six rows according to their heights, standing in line against the rising sun, and not far from the square were surrounded by their parents full of expectations.

Among this batch of students, there are 42 boys and 34 girls, the oldest is 15 years old, the youngest is 7 years old, and about two-thirds are 10 years old.

They are all dressed in their own people's unique festival costumes, and they are colorful and beautiful as far as the eye can see.

Luo Yu stood on the second floor and watched them, he was thinking about how this group of students should be divided into classes, there were only fifty sets of tables and chairs, and they couldn't sit down when they taught together.

Think about it, here is the recognition of words and endorsements, you need to have no distractions, and another class of students is close outside to practice martial arts, and the movement can be smaller? This is how they interact with each other.

Yang Man is only sixteen years old, she was born in the family of the emperor, she knows the subset of classics and history well, and she can naturally teach this group of children to be competent, not to mention that Li Xiuning has written the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" to her silently, she was overjoyed after reading it.

The catchy text and simple truth are the most suitable for beginners to start the enlightenment, and I don't know how much easier it is than her enlightenment book, so I immediately decided to start the first lesson with these two articles.

She was dressed in a sky blue gown, her perfect figure was covered, her long hair was tied into a bun, pinned to the top of her head with a hosta, and she said with a smile: "Children, today is the first day of your study journey, I am very happy to be your husband, however, studying is very hard, you need to study hard, are you ready?" ”

Some of the seventy-six students couldn't understand what she said, and only two dozen responses came from sparsely, and this group of students was a little difficult to teach.

They are ethnic minorities who do not understand Han culture, they have dialects at home, and children close to Xiao Li can understand Chinese, but only a small part.

Luo Yu is a little big, it seems that there is still a long way to go to teach normally, and there may be no leisure during this time, so I have to help them share the liberal arts.

Yang Man was also a little at a loss, Luo Yu called Xiao Li and asked her to act as a translator and say Yang Man's words again in dialect, and this time she got a warm response from all the students.

Luo Yu had a way, went downstairs to Xiao Li's side, and said softly: "Xiao Li, I'm going to divide them into two batches, do you have any ideas?" ”

Xiao Li blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It's easy to do, just separate men and women." ”

Luo Yu thought for a while and said: "This is not a good way, although there is no difference in what you have learned, but the age is different, the difference in intelligence is too big, and the process of getting along with teachers and students is more tiring." ”

Xiao Li said again: "There are more than a dozen mentally imperfect people in this batch of children, how do they arrange it?" ”

Luo Yu only then remembered the blood problem in the village, this is another problem, the parents of more than a dozen children are close relatives, resulting in their mental incompleteness, if you want to teach these children well, Mr. needs to pay several times the effort.

It's too simple to think, and I was stumped on the first day of school, how to divide classes to benefit both the teacher and the students?

Xue Li and Liu Hongji were disappointed, from the time they set off to the open space, too many brothers fell along the way, but none of them were alive, the horseshoe is a good thing, but stepping on their own people will also trample people to death.

Since most of the front team was cavalry brought by Li Shimin, it became the rear team when retreating, and the war horses ran wildly, not a single corpse was intact everywhere they passed, and the severed limbs were everywhere, including the corpses of the fallen war horses.

These robes can't tell who is who, and they don't know how to put them away, so can they just let them expose their corpses to the wilderness, and let the beasts eat and ignore them?

Xue Ju's soldiers and horses on the other side of the boulder didn't intend to let go of this opportunity, they were already shooting arrows into the sky, and they didn't know what their purpose was in doing this, did they want to remove the boulder blocking the entrance and chase it over?

It's just a fool's dream, without gunpowder bullets, it is impossible to move the boulder by manpower.

Li Shimin calmed down his sad mood, the deceased is gone, and the most important thing now is to bring all the living back to Qinzhou safely, and the account with Xue Ju can only be calculated later.

But what he never expected was that Xue Ju's people stuffed more than a dozen gunpowder bullets from under the boulder, and the fire flashed, and the lead of the urging began to burn with blue smoke, which was going to explode again, not only the boulder might crack, but also might startle the war horse in the first line again, causing a second chaos.

These gunpowder shells should have been left by the brothers who died before they could ignite the fuse, and they were collected by the enemy and bombed Li Shimin's side in turn.

Fortunately, except for Li Shimin, the other horses had withdrawn to the clearing, and Xue Li and Liu Hongji were organizing an orderly retreat to the direction of Qinzhou.

When the loud noise sounded again, the sound spread rapidly along the narrow official road, and Li Shimin's war horse had already spread its hooves and ran forward without his urging, maybe it was experienced once, and it was no longer crazy.

Li Shimin can guess what scene is behind him without looking, although the boulder is big, it can't withstand the power of more than a dozen gunpowder shells exploding at the same time, and after they clear the passage, the pursuers will kill them immediately.

Xue Ju is going to die endlessly, since this is the case, then let you taste the power of gunpowder bombs in the open space.

Li Shimin turned his head and took one last look at the sacrificial robe, and knocked on the horse's belly, he had to rush to the open space to prepare, this time there was time for directional blasting.

The deafening sound of horses' hooves chased from behind, and at this time, Li Shimin had already arrived in the open space, and Xue Li and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing the second explosion, he was worried about Li Shimin, who stayed behind, and was afraid that he would be in danger, so he was about to go back to answer when he was stopped by Liu Hongji.

Liu Hongji's use of gunpowder bullets was far inferior to Xue Li, he turned over his horse and said to Xue Li: "I'll pick up the general, you stay and load gunpowder bullets!" ”

Xue Li's legs were injured, so he had to nod his head in agreement, and the sound had become subtle here, and the clearing had spread a little, so the war horses here were not affected.

Looking at Liu Hongji's distant back, Xue Li took the gunpowder bullet handed over by the special combat team, found a pit that could be suitable for directional blasting, dug a foot deep with a dagger, and put the gunpowder bullet into it.

On top of this pit is a high cliff, and the stone mountains that are as smooth as knives are connected together, and I don't know if they can be blown up, which is also a helpless move, and there is no place for gunpowder shells to be installed on the stone wall.

As soon as the gunpowder bullet was released, Li Shimin and Liu Hongji had already flinned over, and Xue Li shouted: "General, the gunpowder bullet has been loaded, you withdraw first, and your subordinates will come down and light the fire." ”

Li Shimin knew that Xue Li was injured, and said: "Get on the horse, leave a team member to ignite, and don't be a hero if you are injured!" I, Li Shimin, will not ignore my brother. ”

Before Xue Li could speak, he was helped onto the horse by the two team members next to him, and reached out and patted the horse stock.

The war horse was in pain and galloped away, and Li Shimin said to the two third-generation team members: "Leave one person here to light the fire, put the lead longer, and come back alive!" ”

An older member of the team promised, and another eighteen or nineteen-year-old wanted to argue a few words, but before he could speak, he was pushed away by the older one and asked him to get on his horse and retreat.

Li Shimin no longer hesitated, and crossed the clearing, Liu Hongji and the team members followed, and at the same time the pursuers had already appeared and were quickly killing them.

The ignition team member has to grasp the timing, if the ignition is ignited now, it can naturally blow up the mountain rock and play a role in blocking the pursuers, if it continues to explode, this gunpowder bullet can only play the role of scaring the pursuers.

Only by waiting for the pursuers to get closer before lighting the fire, even if the rocks are blown up, they can still cause casualties.

The man lit the fuse when his pursuers were still three or four hundred paces away from him, and then flew on his horse and retreated unexpectedly.

The lead spark flashed, and just as the pursuers arrived, the gunpowder bullets in the hole were detonated, and in a muffled moment, the ground cracked, followed by dust, and countless black dots shot in the direction of the pursuers.

It's a pity that the rocks were not broken, and only a scorched black pit appeared on the ground.

Because it was a directional blasting, the direction of the killing and wounding was facing the pursuers without a dead angle, and the more than a dozen cavalry pursuers in front were hit head-on by the fine nails in the gunpowder bullets.

The good ones died immediately, without suffering, and the bad ones wounded their cheeks or limbs, and as the wounded horses fell, their leg bones were crushed by the horses, and they wailed incessantly......

And the ignition team member had already caught up with Li Shimin and them, and quickly withdrew in the direction of Qinzhou.

Will the pursuers who have suffered several losses catch up with them desperately? Li Shimin couldn't bear it, this Xue Ju really wanted to capture Qinzhou at any cost?

The Western Turks should have gotten the news of his southward journey, his old nest Lanzhou is in danger of being besieged at any time, does he really not care about Lanzhou anymore?

The answer was known after Li Shimin returned to Qinzhou City, and the five third-generation team members newly sent over there sent a battle report, and Li Shimin only knew why Xue Ju wanted to storm Qinzhou after reading it.

Something really happened to his lair, not the siege of the Western Turks, which was even more serious than this.
