Chapter 1407: The Dream Was Punctured
Before a stick of incense, Wu Yuanhao was still majestic, thinking that he had defeated the Tang army, what kind of reward should the Vietnamese court give him? Didn't the youngest son fall in love with the princess of Vietnam? Just take the opportunity of this big victory to let the youngest son marry the princess of Vietnam.
Now I'm afraid there is no such thought, he only thinks that he can rush back, there is still a crack in the city gate in the distance, the soldiers there do not dare to close the city gate, although the outside of the city is full of artillery, but the city is still safe, as long as they wait for the general to run back, they will immediately close the city gate, as for those behind the general, you can only ask for more blessings.
From the city walls, it was clear that the army that had set out in the morning was coming towards the city gate, and they all knew that they had to run a little faster, and they could still get in front of the general, and if they ran behind the general, then you would have no chance at all.
The speed of the Tang cavalry is also quite amazing, but they don't dare to get too close to the city wall, many Vietnamese soldiers on the city wall also have bows and arrows in their hands, and those people are condescending and have a natural advantage in archery, so they can only intercept 80 steps away from the city wall.
Wu Yuanhao will definitely be able to run back, but these people under him don't have such good luck, with the city gate closed heavily, this means that the tens of thousands of people who came out have become the biggest loss today.
According to Changsun Ze, they don't care about the death of one or two people, and we don't care even more, what we care about is the vitality of the whole country.
Many people saw that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to go under the city wall, so they ran to the bottom of the city wall in groups, in a vain attempt to rely on the bow and arrow above the city wall to cover, so that they could dodge, but unfortunately their idea could not be realized, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty naturally did not dare to go to the bottom of the city wall, but the cannonballs of the Tang Dynasty dared to pass.
After some adjustments, more than a dozen artillery pieces were specially fired at the root of the city wall, and the thousands of people who originally gathered here immediately dispersed, their population density was too great, and a single shell could kill more than a dozen or twenty people.
The city gate of Luo Cheng will definitely not be opened again, so there is only one way in front of them now, that is, to honestly return to the north of Luo Cheng, and a large circle has been drawn in the middle, and a large number of Vietnamese soldiers who can walk are in this circle.
After returning to the city, Wu Yuanhao felt the pain in his shoulder, it turned out that in addition to the injury on his head, this guy was also injured in the shoulder, but he was in a hurry when he fled for his life just now, so he didn't care about it at all, and now he saw that half of his body was stained with blood.
"Help me up the wall..."
According to other people's opinions, it should be treated first, but Wu Yuanhao can't do it at all now, he has to go up to see what the situation is outside, it's normal for everyone to be reluctant to let him go up, and now that you can come back, it's our biggest victory, even if you can see the situation outside? Can we change the outcome today?
Before and after no more than two hours of effort, the momentum of the killing, now all the people are squatting 1500 meters north of the city, these people are Wu Yuanhao's previous subordinates, some people are still holding their war horses, some people are already unable to find even war horses, the most elite part of the cavalry in the country is finished.
Wu Yuanhao felt that his throat was stuck by something, he wanted to say two words, but he couldn't say it, and then he felt a mouthful of blood gushing out, and it immediately spurted out on the city wall, and then he didn't feel anything, his eyes were black and he fell to the side in a daze, if it weren't for the soldiers next to him, I am afraid that he would be able to break his head this time.
The gap in combat effectiveness made the Vietnamese have no other ideas, this time all the troops who went out to fight were their most elite troops, if even these armies could not open the defensive line of the Tang army, then what was the use of the remaining troops? Although Wu Yuanhao came back alive, he lost the most elite army in the whole of Vietnam, whether it was those mountain troops or the cavalry outside, Vietnam did not have the ability to form a second army.
That night, the Tang army lit a large number of fires outside, all the prisoners of war had to sit around the fire, and their right arms were tied, these people are the labor force itself that will build here in the future, this is your land, but you fight with our Tang army, you will not have any freedom, so your land and property will also be taken over by us, and what awaits you in the future may be twenty or thirty years of labor.
The Vietnamese soldiers also seemed to see their future days, and each of them had a lifeless look on their faces, and they were still thinking that they would be able to fight a small amount of money today, and they would be able to ask for a few rewards after they returned.
It's a pity that the gap between the two sides is too big, and many people have such an idea in their minds, that is, when we fight with the Tang army, it is like adults playing children, no matter how awesome our strategy is in the hands of others, it will not work at all.
It's a pity that it's too late to understand now, and you are no longer soldiers of the Vietnamese court, you are now prisoners of war of the Tang army, and it is said that you will be incorporated into the labor camp from tomorrow, and you will honestly go to the rear to build roads.
The Tang army has always had such a fine tradition, no matter where they hit, they must repair the road, if they have the ability to build the cement road, then build the cement road, if they are not able to build the cement road, even if they use stone slabs, they have to build the road, anyway, the people who build the road are you, and how many people die have to build this road, this is the way home for our Tang army.
In fact, the monarchs of various countries also understand that when these roads are completed, the rapid reaction force of the Tang army can come over at any time, and in the future, you will have no other choice than to obey the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
The road is a link for the Tang Dynasty to control all countries, which is also their first priority after the war.
