Chapter 118: Heavy Casualties! Turian betrayal? Jieli Khan is mad! (4/5)
Early the next morning.
It rained heavily all night, but finally stopped, and the clouds in the sky dissipated a little, and a few rays of sunlight fell.
The good weather should have been in a good mood, but at this moment, there is a dead silence on the Longshan camp.
Jieli Khan stared at the camp in front of him, his face extremely ugly.
The corpses are all over the field, and it is extremely tragic!
The rain mixed with the blood had already formed a bubbling stream, which washed down with the mountain spring.
The corpses were lifted one by one, and the wails of the wounded made Jieli's heart drip blood!
"The Great Khan."
Ashina Simo looked solemn and reported towards Jieli Khan,
"The casualties have been counted, and our army suffered more than 4,000 casualties last night, of which 2,000 were killed, more than 1,000 were seriously injured, and there were not many minor wounded."
"Two hundred and eighty-three corpses were left behind by the Tang Army."
Sonor!
Jieli Khan stuck the scimitar in his hand into the ground, and his face was distorted!
"Li Shimin, deceive me too much!"
He said angrily,
"If you don't take revenge, I swear not to be a person!"
"Order, break those hundreds of Tang corpses into ten thousand pieces!"
"Yes." Ashina Simo responded, but was not very active.
After losing the battle, you can only rely on a few enemy corpses to vent your anger, which is really not a face-saving thing.
"Where's Tuli?"
Jieli Khan looked at the camp on the right and said coldly,
"How many casualties did he have?"
Ashina Simo hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"Back to the Great Khan, the Turki Department does not seem to have any casualties, and the Tang Army only launched a night attack on our department last night, but it seems that there was no crime against the Turki Ministry."
"The last general heard that the Tuli Khan secretly met with the envoy of the Tang Dynasty last night, could it be that he ......"
When Jieli heard this, his eyes were cracked!
Okay, sure enough, they colluded against me!
"Follow me to confront Tuli!"
He was so angry that he went straight to the Tuli camp to ask for his guilt!
Bang, bang!
Jieli Khan went on a rampage, savagely and rudely pushed away several guards, and stepped into the tent of Tuli Shuai.
"Tuli!"
He roared,
"You despicable little, you dare to conspire with the Tang people against me!"
"Get out of here!"
In an instant, the soldiers of the Tuli tribe quickly assembled, and looked at Jieli Khan with fierce eyes.
The two sides confronted each other, and the saber rattling!
"What does the Great Khan mean by that?"
Tu Li walked out of the tent, looked at the thunderous Jieli, and said coldly,
"The Tang people have a saying, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!"
"When did I collude with the Tang people to deal with you?"
The corners of his eyes twitched.
"If it weren't for your collusion in advance, why did the Tang army raid last night and only hit my camp, but didn't come to rob you?"
He growled,
"I need an explanation!"
When Tuli heard this, he sneered.
"Explain? What's the explanation? How do I know why! ”
He sneered,
"Maybe they went up the mountain from the left side, and they just hit you, just like that, you think I'm colluding with the Tang people?"
"If I really colluded with them, then yesterday my 20,000 sons would have already killed your troops, how could they put on a defensive posture and stand still?"
"I can understand the grievances in the heart of the Great Khan, but the basin can't all be buckled on me, don't look for me if you are angry!"
This remark is reasonable, but it makes Jieli stagnant.
His anger subsided slightly, and he questioned again;
“…… Well, even if you didn't collude, then why didn't you stand still and come to save my department? ”
"Do you know how badly our soldiers were killed and wounded yesterday? That's all my Turkic son! ”
"Hahahaha......" Tuli suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at!" Jieli is angry.
"Isn't the Great Khan mad?"
Tuli sneered contemptuously,
"There was a surprise attack by the Tang Army last night, and our troops and horses were defenseless, so of course I ordered the formation to shrink at the first time, defend the commander's tent, and then organize a counterattack."
"Didn't you do that?"
"But by the time I set up a defensive posture and wanted to counterattack, the Tang army had already retreated quickly, and it rained all night, and you still asked me to pursue it?"
"You can ask any of the generals in your department, do you have any problems with my thoughts? Don't bite me like a mad wolf on the prairie! ”
Jieli glared.
For a moment, he couldn't refute Tuli's words.
"Great Khan, the Turki Khan has a certain point, you calm your anger first."
Ashina Simo ran out to play the round,
"The enemy army is in front, the two khans should join forces to advance and retreat together, if there is infighting, wouldn't it make Li Shimin see a joke?"
All the Turkic generals nodded yes.
At this time, revenge is the first priority!
“…… Good, good! ”
Jieli took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, stared at Tuli and said in a deep voice,
"I'm not thinking it through, I'm offending you."
"Last night, the Tang army attacked at night, resulting in heavy casualties among our soldiers and horses, and this revenge cannot be avenged! You immediately gather troops and horses, attack Fengzhou with me, and take revenge! ”
"If I break through the city, I will slaughter the city for three days and eat that Li Shimin alive!"
However, in the face of Jieli's desire for revenge, Tuli shook his head.
"Judging from the scale of the Tang Army last night, Li Shimin must have brought enough elite troops this time."
He analyzed,
"Attacking the city is already unfavorable, and with Li Shimin leading troops to defend the city, this Fengzhou will definitely not be able to attack it for a while."
"And our grain and grass are almost exhausted, if it stagnates, it will definitely be a bigger and bigger disadvantage."
"After careful consideration, I decided to reconcile with Li Shimin and return to the grassland for the time being."
Jieli Khan: "!! ”
"What did you say?"
He glared at Turi and yelled,
"I have suffered heavy casualties, but you want to reconcile and retire?"
"You're betrayal!"
At this moment, he was really mad!
"Great Khan, I am not your subordinate, we are just cooperating with the coalition, why do you betray me, I betray you?"
Tuli's face sank, and he said coldly,
"Now that I've thought about it, I'm thinking that retiring is the best option."
"A reckless attack can only cause unnecessary casualties, and then Fengzhou still can't be attacked, what's the point?"
"All my choices are for my soldiers!"
These words were said with great righteousness and awe, and the soldiers of the Tuli tribe were all moved and nodded one after another.
In this rainy and damp Tang Realm, they are too tormented!
Now that people are sleepy and tired, and the camp was robbed last night, coupled with the city of Fengzhou, which they can't capture no matter how hard they try, they are already tired of this battle, and they want to go back to their wives and children to make hot kangtou.
The Khan said that he would withdraw from the army, apparently with the support of the soldiers.
Even the soldiers of the Jieli Department showed hesitation.
They...... I want to go home, too.
"You!"
Jieli clenched his fists, furious.
But at this moment, Tuli no longer looked at his face, but waved his hand:
"The whole army obeyed the order, rested in place for half a day, and then retreated home!"
