The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 800 780 Nine: Victory, and a new battle is brewing

The old king took the list and looked at it carefully. After reading it for a long time, the old king couldn't help laughing.

"Wuji! Tieniu, do you know how many enemies we eliminated today?
Now the statistics are out. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Are there tens of thousands of enemies that have been eliminated?"

"Yes! Why not!

This time we eliminated 830 enemies, and we captured more than [-] enemies.

The obtained military horses were 250 four horses, the dead horses were 140 nine horses, and more than 800 pieces of weapons such as knives and guns were obtained.

I didn't expect it!

We have just arrived here, and we have achieved such brilliant results!

Those dead horses happened to be boiled to reward the three armies!

I have given them an order just now, let the kitchen cook horse meat now, and let's comfort the soldiers in the army tonight.

In this battle, our army only suffered 320 six casualties. Compared with the enemy's casualties, this is simply insignificant. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"It's enough to achieve such a result, there is no reason why people can't die in war!

As the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. We wiped out more than 1 enemies, and only lost three hundred people. Let me say, the results of this battle are brilliant enough. "

The old king laughed out loud.

"Who said it wasn't! To achieve such a brilliant result is something I never dreamed of.

Why!I said Promise!There are so many enemies here today, why don't you let my second boy participate in the battle and kill them?

What is this for? "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji quickly said: "No reason, I just feel that the enemies here are a bit small, and it's not worth their effort."

"Then they went out for nothing! They hid on that mountain, and they just watched jokes for half a day."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "There is no way to do this!

But what?I think that enemy will come again, next time they come again, let's plant a red flag on the top of the city again. "

The old king blinked his eyes.

"Oh my God! Promise! What do you think! Will they come again?
So when do you think they will come?My second boy and the others only brought dry food and water for three days.

After a long time, wouldn't they come back again? "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "I guess if they don't come tomorrow, they will definitely come the day after tomorrow.

Losing more than 1 soldiers and horses, their leaders will definitely be red-eyed.

Next time they come again, the soldiers and horses that come will not be so small.

Although they won't come out in full force, there must be more people coming than this time!

Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, just wait and see! "

The old king blinked his eyes.

"Wuji! What you said is true and false!

Why do I sound so suspenseful? "

Tie Niu interjected after hearing this: "It's not mysterious, won't we know it in two days?
Today we fought a big victory, let the soldiers also have a good rest!

In case they come again, our soldiers can continue to fight with them! "

The old king nodded.

"Okay, then we'll do that.

Tonight, I will place wine in this big tent to celebrate the achievements of these brave soldiers.

Promise!Tieniu, when the time comes, you two brothers should also participate!

Such a big celebration, how can it be done without you two brothers? "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Since Your Majesty has sincerely invited us, let us two brothers join in the fun for you!"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we have brought back so many dead horses, since we are throwing wine to celebrate.

Let me tell you, whether the soldiers in this army participated in the battle or not, they all have their meat to eat.

Only in this way can the fighting spirit of the soldiers be aroused!

If only officials eat meat, it will be a big blow to the morale of our soldiers.

You have to think about this matter, don't make any troubles because of such a stutter! "

"Well! What you said is really reasonable, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly!
Now that we have won this big battle, everyone must have meat to eat today.

Whoever lacks a bite of meat, the soldiers must have an opinion.

To be honest, I've already thought about this. "

"Well! It's good to think of it.

Your Majesty, rest now!Our brothers went back to rest.

To be honest, I am quite tired from fighting today. If there is anything wrong, you can call us brothers again at that time! "

"Well, fine then!

Wuji, Tieniu, you two can do whatever you want. "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu walked into a large tent next to them to rest.

In the afternoon, the old king sent someone to Duan Wuji and his big account to call them here.

The two followed the visitor and ran straight to the big tent where the old king was staying.

I saw that all the generals in the big tent that were already full had arrived, and they were the only two left in the whole big tent.

Seeing Duan Wuji and the others coming in, the old king stood up quickly.

"Wuji! Tie Niu, you two are the only ones missing in this big tent. Come, come, come, sit beside me."

Well, the old king is quite enthusiastic.

The two came to the old king's side, found two seats and sat down.

The old king said with a smile: "Everyone, we won a big victory today.

Although the number of enemies annihilated is not too many, it also wiped out more than 1 of them after all!

In order to commend everyone's contributions, I held such a celebration banquet.

Let's stop talking nonsense today, let's set up wine quickly. "

Following the old king's order, the soldiers outside the tent immediately came in and began to arrange tables.

In a short time, large pots of horse meat, beef and mutton were served.

A big jar of fine wine, that's two people sharing a jar!

The old king was afraid that people would drink too much and cause trouble, so he didn't dare to get more wine!

The old king said with a smile: "Today we won a big victory, and everyone contributed.

The lonely king won't say much else, let's eat and drink as we please!
After eating and drinking enough, let's go back to the tent and have a rest!
According to Wuji's guess, within a day or two, we still have a big battle to fight!

Everyone must be mentally prepared!

Come on, let's raise our glasses together, and let's wish today's victory together. "

After hearing this, the generals raised their wine glasses one after another.

"May our country's mountains and rivers last forever and be passed down from generation to generation.

May Your Majesty be in good health!Hold my Tupan kingship forever. "

The old king grinned.

"Okay, okay, let's eat meat! Don't be too polite today, everyone is full!"

Duan Wuji and Tieniu didn't bother to listen to their chatter, they just lowered their heads and ate vigorously, and the two of them were full after a short time.

The two drank two more bowls of milk tea, and then walked out of the big tent without even saying hello.

When the generals saw it, they were all taken aback, and said to themselves: These two people are really crazy!

This is full of generals, who dares to do this!

The old king smiled and said: "I invited these two people from the Tang Dynasty, and their status here belongs to guest ministers, and they are not under the control of our Tupan country!

Well, let's continue to eat meat! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu returned to the big tent, they lay on the felt mat and fell asleep after a while.

After the two of them woke up, it was already time for three shots the next day.

The two got up and saw cooked meat and shortbread in the big tent.

The two of them knew at a glance that the guards had already delivered the food.

The two ate a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, and just about to sit down and drink some bowls of milk tea, two soldiers of the king came in.

"You two generals, you just woke up!

Two generals, His Majesty the King welcomes you.

You two, come with me. "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu put down their bowls, followed the soldier who called them, and walked straight to the big tent where the old king was staying.

After entering the big tent, I saw that the generals had already arrived, and these people were sitting neatly on both sides.

Seeing Duan Wuji and the others come in, the old king quickly said with a smile: "Wuji, what you said is really accurate!

That damned Pu Tashi just sent someone to fight, and he will start a decisive battle with our army tomorrow morning.

Promise!Tell me what to do with this matter! "

"What should I do? What else can I do with this! Why don't we just fight? What's the point of this!

Your Majesty, where are they planning to fight? "

"Oh, the decisive battle is just before our pass."

"Well! That's fine!

Then you can just write him a reply, tell him, just say that we will fight on time, and if he has any skills, then he will use them all!

Are we still afraid of him in this matter?
Let's eliminate another group of his people, and he should be honest. "

The old king laughed out loud.

"That's good! Since you said so, then I will do as you want, but what! You have to lead me at that time!"

Duan Wuji nodded and smiled.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! It is necessary for us to take the lead.

If nothing else, write to them!
Our brothers are fine, so we went back to the big tent. "

"Well! Then you go, and I'll let you know if there's anything else."

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu walked out of the big tent, and went back to their own big tent.

A day passed by like this, until it was getting dark, the two brothers didn't show their faces!

After dark, the old Chinese sent people to look for them again. The two brothers had no choice but to follow the people into the big tent again.

The old king looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said with a wry smile: "I say you two don't worry!

The battle will start tomorrow, and you two don't talk about making arrangements!

If so, can tomorrow's battle be won? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! This war relies on hard power, and other things are not very important!

No matter how well you arrange it, if you don't have the strength, you can win this battle. The battle will be fought tomorrow. What do you think our brothers will arrange.

Your Majesty, we two brothers are here to help you quell the rebellion, we don't want to meddle in other matters, it won't do us any good if we meddle too much!

It's better for you to handle these daily requests yourself! "

The old king grinned.

"I called you two here today just to tell you about today's return to war and tomorrow's war, and I have no other intentions!
You two sit down quickly. "

After the two sat down, the old king glanced at all the generals in the camp and said: "Pu Tashi, the son of a bitch, said that tomorrow he will attack our pass with [-] elite soldiers, and he will take all the soldiers in one day." I will take this pass at all costs!
Looks like tomorrow is bound to be a tough fight!

Promise!If they come with [-] troops, how many troops do you think we should send to fight them? "

"Your Majesty, look at the narrow space in this valley, is it useful to go out when there are too many people!
In my opinion, we can still send out [-] elite soldiers.

These 1 people don't need a single infantry, they are all cavalry. "

Duan Wuji glanced at all the generals in the camp and said: "Generals, for tomorrow's battle, you must let the soldiers keep their weapons in their hands in advance. They beheaded on the spot.

Don't be polite to those people. The two armies are so close to each other, and they are fighting with the same momentum.

If there is no momentum, no matter how many people go there, you will lose.

The reason why so few people were injured in our war yesterday is that our momentum prevailed at the beginning.

Tomorrow's battle, the cavalry in the first three rows must have their weapons in their hands.

The cavalry behind must bend their bows and set their arrows, and be ready to release their bows and arrows at any time.

When the command to charge is sounded, the cavalry behind must first shoot out the arrows in their hands, then throw away the bow and arrow, and immediately pick up their weapons and charge.

Did you hear this clearly? "

All the generals nodded.

"General Duan, we all heard your words clearly.

Don't worry, we will do what you want. "

A leader named Battelle took over, looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "I said General Duan, can you explain to us!

Why are the soldiers with bows and arrows ranked behind the fourth row?
It would be nice to have them in the front row. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"The reason why I let the soldiers with bows and arrows line up at the back is because the soldiers in the last few rows bend their bows and set arrows, and the enemy usually can't see them.

Let's surprise them and catch them off guard.

If you put them in the first few rows, wouldn't the generals on the opposite side see it?
At that time, people will also bend their bows and set arrows, and it will only hurt both sides.

A few rows of our bows and arrows shot past, and once the opponent landed one after another, the opponent panicked.

At that time, while he was still in a panic, we annihilated them in one go, you see how good it is. "

With Duan Wuji's explanation, everyone understood what he meant.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Okay, let's stop here today.

I think we'd better go rest.

Tomorrow morning, we have an early strike meal and set off immediately.

Your Majesty, tomorrow you will wait to pick up weapons and clean up the battlefield. "

The old king laughed out loud.

"Wuji, don't worry about that.

As long as you defeat the enemy, the rest will be my business, and you don't have to worry about this. "

The old king glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Since Wuji has said so, let's spread the accounts.

Tomorrow's battle is all thanks to everyone's contribution to me. "
