Cheng Tu led his army to capture the secret city with great difficulty.

Originally, it was customary to slaughter the city, but after the Tang army entered the city, they found that the city was empty!

In other words, the city was full of barbarian men and men, and they were all killed in battle.

All the soldiers have a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and there are usually some women and children to resist.

And the 240,000 Tang Army was about 10,000 killed and 10,000 wounded.

Before leaving, there were 18 armies, and now they have gone to the 3rd army.

The remnant sun is like blood.

The evening sun shone on the city and outside, and there was a dead silence. The survivors silently put away the corpses of their comrades who could be pieced together, and transported them back to the frontier by logistics preservation. Incomplete collection is cremated on the spot.

Time passed, the sky was filled with starlight, and the fire burning corpses burned holes in the sky.

Cheng Tu gave the order to rest and recuperate, and ordered the king's left army to advance from the western flank to draw the barbarian forces.

"Marshal, according to the opinion of his subordinates, this time the barbarian behavior is abnormal, I am afraid that it is fraudulent, do you want to ......" Liu Ou was full of worries and asked Cheng Tu who was leaning against the wall.

Yang Shi glanced at him and laughed, "Are the wise generals so cowardly as mice?"

Liu Ou did not answer.

Cheng Tu opened his eyes, and some blood clots clotted on his face, and as he pulled his facial muscles, the blood clots "clicked" and fell to the ground. He said unfazedly: "Keep going, this battle cannot be withdrawn." ”

"But......" Liu Ou opened his mouth.

Yang Shi interrupted impatiently: "Okay, don't say it, the marshal has said that you can't retreat, you still don't understand the meaning? Those people in the court can look at it!" He sneered and pointed in one direction, "Even if there is a fire pit ahead, they will push the marshal to jump down! Why? Because they are not here, they talk about the war easily!"

Liu Ou sighed, he also knew that Yang Shi was telling the truth, but the political game was undoubtedly a disaster for many innocent soldiers.

If it weren't for the barbarians' firm beliefs and near-inhuman beliefs, the Tang army could also know the intentions and dynamics of some barbarians through captives.

The barbarians simply abide by the clan rules and will not make a sneak attack, otherwise the pace of the Tang army's attack will be even more difficult.

Cheng Tu suddenly spoke: "Liu Ou, this battle is temporarily under your command, Yang City is responsible for the assault, and the rest of the people obey their orders." When the time comes, you can ask the king of the north for help, and I will lead 10,000 guards to make a detour to the rear. ”

"What!?" the generals present asked in unison.

This is completely different from Cheng Tu's usual marching style! He has always been known for his bravery and infallibility, but today's sudden detour of tactics is unpredictable.

Without waiting for others to refute, Cheng Tu said: "It's nothing, since the barbarians don't follow common sense this time, we can't stick to the rules and increase casualties." Moreover, I am the strongest, and if I encounter something, I can get out, what about you?" the generals he glanced at all bowed their heads in shame.

"Marshal, let me go! I am also the pinnacle of governing the country, and I am only a little short of you! I am fine without the army, but I can't do without you!" but Yang Shi spoke eagerly.

Liu Ou's heart trembled, he never thought that Yang Shi, who often squeezed him on weekdays, was also a good man! He also put down a lot of prejudices against Yang Shi in his heart.

Cheng Tu glared: "Hugh a lot, I have made up my mind! Didn't someone want me to die, I'll take this trip! Hey, my Cheng Tu's life is not so easy to collect! And you little cub, do you curse me to die? I crawled out of the pile of dead people so many times, but I didn't blow it." He slapped Yang Shi on the head.

Although Cheng Tu is famous and can stop children crying at night, everyone close to him knows that he is very good to his own people and has no good standing, so many people support him.

When many soldiers were resting, a team of 10,000 people quietly left, and the supreme commander had disappeared "dereliction of duty", but it was not until Cheng Tu died that the soldiers knew that the dumb king was no longer in the army.

Cheng Tu is a little cheerful now, leading the crowd to rush under the grassland in the night sky.

Ever since he became famous, he has been bound by fame, fighting hard battles and gnawing hard bones.

Guerrilla detours, such tactics as the so-called "inferior three indiscriminate" have never been related to him.

When the Tang Dynasty Taizu founded the country, he did not use this tactic to win. And many people are ashamed to use the tricks in the book while learning the tricks, and then boasting about the wisdom and courage of Taizu in order to seek the throne.

With the birth of wisdom comes hypocrisy and lies.

Cheng Tu led his army to attack for a long time, and it was not until there was a bright light in the sky that he waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop and rest, and released scouts to reconnoiter the situation within a few miles of the surrounding area.

After a while, the scout came to report, and several barbarians were found in the left front shepherding.

This time the attack did not bring grain and grass, so it was fought by the method of fighting to feed the war.

He had two guards each lead five hundred men to slaughter the sheep.

Each soldier carried flint and steel, and in a moment translucent smoke rose from the prairie, which was not very distinguishable under the clear sky. They use special fuel made in Gemuin.

The scout brought the bound barbarians to Cheng Tu with a strange expression.

"Marshal, these barbarians...... It seems to be a little different from the previous ones. ”

Cheng Tu looked at it and smiled with interest.

Not only were these barbarians fully clothed, but they also had a clear look of begging for mercy on their faces.

"Go, call someone who knows barbarian language, it seems that this trip was not in vain. ”

After a while, a tall soldier came, bald and full of spirit.

Cheng Tu instructed: "You go and ask, try to dig up as much news as possible." ”

The soldier nodded, and stepped forward to start a conversation with the barbarians.

A crowd waited.

The soldier's expression became more and more heavy, and after a while, he turned his head to report the result: "Marshal, they said that they are from the Western Royal Court, and this time they are coming to the Eastern Royal Court to play for a while, because they heard that a holy son was born in the Eastern Royal Court. Now it's a ...... experience of a foreign place."

"The Eastern and Western Royal Courts, the barbarians have split?" Cheng Tu wondered.

"No, it's ...... There is another barbarian, and they are slightly stronger than them. The soldier smiled wryly.

The eastern part of Datang is bordered by the sea, and there are Tianduan Mountains in the west, and the mountains end in the grassland.

And the Western Royal Court, that is, another barbarian, is in the west of the Tianduan Mountain Range as the line, and the Eastern and Western Royal Courts have always been incompatible.

The western court is biased towards indoctrination, and the eastern court is biased towards primitiveness, and there is a fierce conflict of ideas between the two sides. However, due to the ancestral system, there could be no war, so the two sides did not have much contact. And the Tianduan Mountain Range leads to the sky, no one can climb it, and no one knows how high it is, let alone the news from here, it is no wonder that Datang has not had any news for many years.

In other words, the barbarians bred by this vast grassland of thousands of miles are comparable to the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

If the East Royal Court is in danger, then the Western Royal Court will definitely come to help, and the offensive and defensive momentum will be different!

Thinking of this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

"Wait, Holy Son?" said three of the twelve guards, one of whom was the loud Bu Song.

The soldier nodded.

But it was Cheng Tu who explained: "This is a widely spread legend of the barbarians, it is said that the barbarians were originally led by the Holy Son, who opened up a new soil in the grassland with a treacherous environment, so that the barbarians continued, and then the Holy Son disappeared, leaving only one sentence, 'Thousands of reincarnations and returns'." But what the Holy Son was like, the barbarians he came into contact with, refused to talk about it...... Oh, aren't there exactly a few here, just ask. ”

The soldier replied, and after questioning, the translator said: "Both parents are barbarians, and the son born to them has no barbarian lines, no different from the Tang people, and his wisdom is far-reaching, far beyond ordinary people." Once the brute pattern is lit, it is the highest level. ”

Top ...... Damn. The soldiers' throats were a little dry.

The highest level of the barbarian pattern is that transcendent realm.

Not to mention the realm, how many years has it been since the highest level of the mortal realm has been out now?

And people are born with this talent!

Datang seems to be about to be stormy.
