The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 745 An instant hit

When Hou Junji caught up, it was already noon the next day, because most of the soldiers had gone to chase the Western Turks, so the temporary camp had not been cleared in time.

The old killers looked at the bloody and mutilated corpses on the ground, almost going crazy.

Everyone really wanted to know what happened here last night and why there was such a tragic battlefield.

Because Li Dejian was not a combatant, he stayed behind and faced several old guys alone.

"What happened last night, how many people did our army lose?" Hou Junji asked Li Dejian the first time he saw him.

"General Hou, the enemy army stole the camp last night. Fortunately, we had prepared for it and ambushed them, killing hundreds of brothers." , but he has no experience of facing the battlefield alone. When he said these words, his face was still a little blue.

"The enemy stole the camp and only lost a hundred people? Then what's going on with this battlefield? Don't tell me that this place is full of enemy corpses." The two brothers Xue Wanche frowned and said threateningly.

But Li Muyun nodded: "Yes, these are the corpses of the enemy, our lost manpower has been restrained."

"Then how did you fight the battle last night? Why was the battlefield so bloody?" Lao Hou asked, pointing to the battlefield.

Li Dejian looked back at the battlefield and said with a wry smile: "Last night, we didn't fight much. We just planted [-] mines in the camp, and then lit them up when the enemy attacked. After dozens of breaths, it was like this."

"No? Ten thousand landmines?" Hou Junji couldn't help but think of the last experiment in the valley.

Seeing that Hou Junji didn't seem to be angry, Li Dejian relaxed somewhat, nodded and said, "Yes, if I knew this thing was so powerful, five thousand would be enough."

Several old guys looked at each other in blank dismay. This was the first time they had seen the consequences of thermal weapons being applied to actual combat. It would be a lie to say that they were not shocked.

But, isn't this too miserable?In the past, no matter how ruthless the battle was, it would be good if one-third of the people died in the battle. But looking at it now, it seems that none of the people who entered the camp have escaped, and all of them are dead. Not even a prisoner who can breathe nothing.

Is gunpowder really that powerful?If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that you should bring more gunpowder when you come out in the future!
Thinking of this, Hou Junji put on a kind face: "Dejian, how much gunpowder do you have?"

Li Dejian shook his head: "It's gone, it's all used up once."

"Used up?! You, you prodigal bastard, why did you run out!"

"That's right, such an easy-to-use thing was used up in one go, and I didn't even say to save some for my father!"

When Li Dejian said that the gunpowder was used up, all the old guys were furious, and they kept criticizing him.

If Li Muyun hadn't completed the pursuit mission and rushed back with his people, he would have been eaten by the old guys.

"Boy, what's the matter with you? Didn't you ask you to relieve the siege of Liangzhou? Why did you mess with the people of Gaochang here?" Hou Junji asked Li Muyun, his nose was not his face and his face was not his face. .

"It's from the Western Turks, not from Gaochang." Li Muyun jumped off his horse, patted the ashes on his body and said, "And the Chief Officer, the siege of Liangzhou has been lifted, Ju Wentai retreated for thirty miles, it seems that he intends to withdraw go."

"Retreat, it's not that easy!" Hou Junji curled his lips, and glanced at the Western Turkic General behind Li Muyun who had just been pulled off his horse: "What happened to that kid, he was arrested just now?"

Li Muyun glanced back: "Well, I just caught it and was about to send it back, but you all arrived."

Hou Junji nodded, motioned for his subordinates to take the man away, and then asked, "How about the casualties?"

"There were not many casualties, about 500 people at full count." Li Muyun replied.

After chasing after midnight last night, and another whole morning today, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang have finished contacting the Liangzhou army, and the battle damage has basically been counted.

Hou Junji patted Li Muyun's shoulder and said: "Well, it's rare that you boy can achieve such a big victory with such a small loss. It seems that our military has someone to succeed."

Li Muyun was almost about to be patted into tears, and said with a greenish face: "It's all because the chief executive has a good command, I'm just a small person, I just use your old tiger's power to frighten me."

In good conscience, Li Muyun's biggest dream is to be his own prince of Taiping quietly. Whoever wants to do those things like fighting and killing, it's best not to have anything to do with him.

But Hou Junji obviously didn't think so, he patted him on the shoulder, gave him a look that I liked you, and walked away with the prisoner he had just captured.

……

Thirty miles west of Liangzhou.

Ju Wentai fidgeted around in the newly erected tent, muttering in his mouth: "Tang Jun is here, Tang Jun is here, what should I do, what should I do."

Several subordinates of the Western Turkic generals were also sitting in the tent, watching Ju Wentai turn around, all with a look of hesitation, one of them took the initiative to speak: "Master Gaochang, in this situation, you need to come and get a piece of paper." The idea, whether it is war or peace, can we rescue my general."

"What can I do, my lord? At the beginning, I said that the Tang Dynasty should not be provoked, but your general just didn't believe it, so he insisted on going to fight for help. Now, your general was caught by the Tang army, and we, Gaochang, have to face it." Great Tang Bingfeng."

"Lord Gaochang, you can't say that. It's not like you don't have a role in attacking Liangzhou. Didn't you also clamor the day before yesterday to enter the city as soon as possible?" Another Western Turkic man stood up and said with some dissatisfaction.

"I..." Ju Wentai's face was flushed red, but he couldn't say a word when he wanted to say something.

"Forget it, now is not the time for accountability, let's think about how to rescue the general, otherwise we will have no leader here, and if the Tang army attacks, I'm afraid we will all stay behind."

"What are you afraid of? We still have an army of [-]. At worst, we will rush over and fight Tang Jun."

"What are you fighting for? Didn't you listen to the people who fled back? Tang Jun has thunder and fire to help out. In just a moment, 10 fine riders turned into pieces of meat. Although we have [-] people right now, if Tang Jun comes up with that kind Arms, do you think we can last a few moments."

"But……"

"There is nothing but, the Tang Dynasty's weapons are too terrifying, we can't fight recklessly, in my opinion, it is better for us to withdraw our troops and go back to the Western Regions directly, and play by ear."
