Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2058 Infection
It's hot, it's hot.

But in such hot weather, the Turkic soldiers and horses already felt a little suffocated.

But they are still attacking the city.

They had no choice, if they didn't take the city quickly, they would never be able to take Liangzhou again.

But if they don't capture Liangzhou City, how will they take revenge?

They believed that the situation of Tang Jun on the tower was similar to theirs.

The two sides kept fighting like this, and the whole day passed like this, and the Turkic soldiers and horses failed to capture Liangzhou City.

As night fell, so did the temperature.

The temperature difference here is huge.

"Your Majesty Khan, are you continuing to attack now?"

It was cool at night, and it was indeed suitable for attacking, but their Turkic soldiers had bad eyesight at night, and it was inconvenient to attack the city. The advantage of the Tang army at night was obviously greater.

But if they can continue to attack, it will obviously be more helpful for the capture of Liangzhou City. They can speed up, but the number of deaths will be more.

After thinking for a while, Ashina Helu shook his head and said: "There is no need to continue attacking, let's go back first, we will definitely be able to capture Liangzhou City within three days, and according to our information, the Tang army's reinforcements are at least It will take five days to arrive, and we still have plenty of time.”

Ashina Helu is still very confident about capturing Liangzhou City, so he is not particularly anxious now.

After he finished speaking like this, the generals naturally had nothing to say and could only accept orders.

The Turkic soldiers and horses retreated, and Tang Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, if they can resist one day, there is hope for one day.

On this day, they killed or injured about a thousand people. This number is not a lot, but it is definitely not a lot.

In comparison, the Turks suffered more losses, and their casualties should be 5000.

5000 people is already a lot, which naturally includes some people who were injured by arrows.

And if the arrow wounds of these people were not very serious, they might still be able to continue to participate in the battle tomorrow.

Therefore, the death toll should be more than 2000. On Tang Jun's side, the number of deaths is several hundred, and the injured can still fight as long as they recover.

Therefore, even if the Turks retreated, the pressure on Tang Jun's side would still be great.

"My lord, now that the Turks have retreated, they may come to attack the city tomorrow, what should we do next?"

Ma Zhou asked, Qin Tian thought for a while, and said, "Continue soaking the sharp arrows in dung, and how are the blacks I trained Qin Wu doing?"

Qin Wu went to sea and brought back more than 1000 black people. These black people are now in Liangzhou City. They have never joined the battle because Qin Tian felt that they had other uses, so he asked Qin Wu to train them. .

Regarding this, Ma Zhou was not very clear, so he could only say: "The training should be done soon, since we repelled Ashina Helu last time, Qin Wu has been training them, I went to see them once before, They obey Qin Wu's orders very much, and people like them cannot survive after leaving here, even if they are let out to fight, they dare not run away."

Qin Tian nodded: "These people used to be slaves, life is difficult, let Qin Wu tell them that as long as they can make meritorious service, this king will not treat them badly, and they will have whatever they want, even women. .”

Ma Zhou naturally understood this truth. If he wanted to tame some people, he had to use both kindness and force.

After agreeing in this way, Ma Zhou hurried down to make arrangements. Here in Liangzhou City, he was still preparing to defend the city.
-
Although the Turkic soldiers and horses failed to capture Liangzhou City, they were still very excited when they returned to the barracks, because they felt that the Tang army was not that scary.

Tomorrow, they may have the hope of attacking the city tower.

At this time, someone has already counted their casualties.

"Your Majesty Khan, in our battle today, more than [-] people died, and another [-] people were injured. Among them, about [-] people were not seriously injured. We can continue to fight tomorrow."

This number made Ashina Helu a little distressed, but after listening to it, he just nodded and said: "Okay, let the more than 1000 good students who can continue to fight rest and recuperate, and let them continue to attack the city tomorrow when they attack the city." fight."

Although those people were injured, since they could continue to fight, Ashina Helu would not let them go.

After all, they are all labor, how can they be allowed to rest here?

And at the beginning, the soldiers who attacked the city would basically become cannon fodder. If so, it would be better to let those who were injured die, and those who were not injured, wait to climb the city later.

Here in their Turks, as long as there is a war, it usually looks like this.

They are different from Datang. Datang is still very humanitarian. If a person is injured, unless it is absolutely necessary, these injured people will be taken to the rear for recuperation. Only after they recover will they be allowed to continue fighting.

This kind of situation naturally led to many times that the strength of the Tang army would suddenly decrease a lot, but Datang still chose to do this because they felt that this was the reaction that a person should make.

Of course, if the city can hardly be defended, those who are injured will definitely have to use it. For example, in the current Liangzhou City, in the Datang barracks, as long as they can still fight, Qin Tian basically will use.

Ashina Helu gave the order, and soon someone did what he said.

The night passed like this, and the temperature at night was a bit low, but for people in this season, it was very comfortable, and there was no difficulty in getting a good rest.

There was nothing to say all night, after getting up the next morning, Ashina Helu was just about to order the soldiers to gather and go to attack the city after eating, when a general hurried over.

"Your Majesty Khan, something is wrong."

Hearing these words, Ashina Helu's expression dropped, and he asked, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty Khan, among those we injured yesterday, many of them were seriously injured and died, and those who survived are now showing some symptoms of fever and weakness. Even those who were less injured, they are very sick now Wonderful, basically you can’t go to war.”

"Are you sick?" After hearing this, Ashina Helu's first reaction was to be sick, but why are those with minor injuries also sick?
According to his past experience, these people suffered arrow wounds, but they were not very serious, and basically did not affect the combat, let alone weakness or fever.

"Go and see."
