Hou Junji held the hilt of the sword at his waist with a trembling hand, and said for a long time: "I didn't expect this mine to be so good, some people and horses really don't need to worry, so, with the men and horses in their hands, they can be invincible in the Western Regions." ”

Li Jing also had a grim face: "I will fight in the future, but with the advantage of weapons, in the face of mines, artillery and firearms that cannot be said in the future, all conspiracies and tricks will not exist, and it will be difficult for famous generals to come out." ”

"I don't think so, of course the faster and the better, the more the better, the use of firearms can allow us to destroy tens of thousands of enemies without losing one person, haha! Since ancient times, there has been such an enjoyable thing. Hou Junji quickly came back to his senses and became a general who could swallow thousands of miles again.

"You are called a butcher, you can still laugh, although it is good to kill the enemy, but it is a loss of heaven and earth to harvest life like this." Li Jing sighed.

"Ho! You don't kill people less than me, why haven't I seen you so sentimental before, we are on the battlefield now, what are you doing as a little daughter. ”

Zhang Zhongping also said: "What General Hou said is that at present, we should retreat from the enemy first, although the first battle of Tushi suffered a loss, but his men and horses are still nearly twice as many as ours, as for the benefits of weapons, we can only rely on the old in the future, eat the king's luck, share worries for the king, and loyalty and righteousness cannot be both." ”

Li Jing turned his head to look at Zhang Zhongping, to be honest, he admired Zhang Zhongping's foresight a little, when Li Er ascended the throne and sealed the world, only Zhang Zhongping did not hesitate to thank the general for staying in the capital, but now the reward has become a shackle, so that they are not free. On the other hand, Zhang Zhongping has always followed Gao Buer's side, never pulled down the war, and has always been in contact with new learning, which is something that can have a future life, the most enviable thing is that although others are not in the court, the royal favor has never been much less.

On the other side, De Tushi experienced the panic and then the panic calmed down, and the heavens and men struggled for a long time, before he gradually asked his heart, tightened his grip on the scimitar at his waist, and rode his horse to patrol in front of the military town, he originally wanted to say a few words of encouragement to the army, but when he saw the soldiers in the military formation, he knew that no words at this time were enough to reorganize morale, so he had to collect the troops with hatred and return to Broken Leaf City.

Li Jing saw that Tushi had withdrawn his troops, so he also led his army to withdraw to the pass, and the two sides fell into a standoff.

Broken Leaf City Sudden Tooth Tent -

Tu Shi poured a big sip of wine and said, "Great Elder, have you figured out the Tang Army's new weapon?" ”

The Great Elder shook his head worriedly: "During the day, the Tang army has the advantage on the battlefield, and none of the warriors in our formation survived, so I don't know what weapon it is, after the two sides withdrew from the formation, according to your instructions, I also sent the dead soldiers to the battlefield to look for them, but they were all blown up and killed, and it was easy to get a good one, who knew that it was a big iron ball, because our people made a mistake, triggered the mechanism, and a large number of craftsmen died, and now I don't know how to do it." ”

After listening to the words of the Great Elder, Tu Shi's face sank like water, if he couldn't break the Tang Army's mechanism array, judging from the current situation, how many people were wild, although the warriors under his command were brave and good at fighting, but who are we fighting against? In the organ news of the Tang people, and this kind of organ news is so effective in killing the enemy, it really kills countless enemies and the other party does not kill a single person, how can this battle be fought? If you don't break the news of the Tang people's organs, how many people go in will add heads.

The face of the Sudden Yin said: "If we don't attack, how about using a trebuchet?" ”

The Great Elder shook his head and said helplessly: "Now that the Tang Army no longer uses trebuchets, but is equipped with artillery, the attack distance of this kind of thing may be more than a thousand steps, and our largest trebuchet can't shoot so far, and positional warfare is even more disadvantageous to us." ”

"How about we use Rolling Stonehenge?"

The Great Elder thought for a long time and said, "This can only be the case, if this method does not work again, then there is only one way left for us." ”

"What is it?"

"Run, run as far as possible, find another way to get this weapon, but you can't come back here until you crack it or have a way to deal with it."

Everyone in the tent was silent, and Tushi knew that most of them had not come back to their senses, so Tushi kept pouring himself wine and said, "Alas! I'm afraid it's not so easy, who can guarantee that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not send troops on an expedition with the advantage of weapons. ”

Suddenly, the words made the hearts of the people in the big tent sink more and more, no one can guarantee this, from their point of view, if there is such a sharp weapon, then it must be hit to the edge of the sky before they will stop.

After a long time, Shi suddenly asked the Great Elder, "When will Lu Dongzan's men and horses arrive?" ”

"I guess it will be half a month later."

"Okay, then we will wait, wait for the Tibetan men and horses to arrive and then go to battle, during this period, all departments are strictly ordered not to go out of the city without authorization to engage the Tang army, violators of the order will be killed, we must now regain momentum, order all battalions to kill more cattle and sheep, let all the soldiers eat well, and the wine will also be supplied in rations."

"Khan, it's okay to eat meat, but it's okay to drink it." The Great Elder hurriedly spoke.

Tu Shi waved his hand: "Today's scene is too shocking to the soldiers, if you don't come back to your senses as soon as possible, you will be a live target if you go to the battlefield, as long as we can't stand still, the Tang Army is helpless, go ahead, do as I say." ”

Seeing that Tu Shi was resolute, the Great Elder had no choice but to do so.
