Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 111 Veterans Don't Die
Under the Red Mountain Fort, soldiers of the Tang Army were cleaning the battlefield excitedly.

Of course, due to the cold weather, the battlefield is not so easy to clean.The already coagulated blood froze the incomplete body with the ice and snow.The head, which could have been easily picked up, took a lot of effort to get it.

Although every head has to be worked hard, chopped with knives and pried with spears, even though it is very hard to clean the battlefield.But at this time, the generals and soldiers of the Tang army were like farmers during the harvest, and no one would feel tired.

The soldiers of the Tang army cleaned the battlefield very thoroughly. Not only did they strip off the armor from the corpses, but they even stripped off the tattered leather robes from the Turkic soldiers.The soldiers of the Tang army carried the horse corpses collected from the battlefield to the Red Mountain Fort on the ice.These officers and men of the Tang Army are very shrewd.Turkic people looked down on the tattered armor and low-quality knives and guns, but iron was very expensive. Even in Chang'an City, a catty of refined iron cost hundreds of dollars.Another broken knife can be sold for hundreds of dollars.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

A soldier of the Tang army held a dagger and fiddled with the rotten head.Tang Jun counted meritorious service based on the head, as long as it is an unidentifiable head, it will not be counted as military merit.However, in this cavalry melee, many Turkic people's heads were crushed by horseshoes, and there was no way to identify them, and they would not be counted as military exploits.

This made the generals of the Tang army shout a pity.

The soldier of the Tang army struggled to dig out a gold tooth from his rotten watermelon head, and shouted excitedly.

In front of the gate of the Red Mountain Fortress, Luo Shixin was gnawing a piece of roast lamb the size of a palm while watching the soldiers sweeping the battlefield down the mountain.Although blood and gray-white brains were already hanging on Luo Shixin's armor, Luo Shixin didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"The sentry cavalry can be placed at least thirty miles away, and this will give us a quarter of an hour to prepare!" Luo Shixin said to Zhang Shigui, "It's best to send the sentry cavalry into Bogulu City!"

Zhang Shigui said: "Don't worry, General Luo, I'll go and watch it myself, and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

"You don't need to go!" Luo Shi said: "The battlefield is about to be cleaned up, you go to count the results of the battle and record the military achievements for the soldiers!"

"As ordered!"

Zhang Shigui commanded a Yue cavalry army of about a hundred cavalry to gallop towards Bugulu City.

Duan Zhigan complained to Luo Shixin: "General Luo, Hongshan Fort is too small to be able to garrison a large army. It is already sky-high to be able to garrison 500 people here."

"No, 500 people are too few!" Luo Shi said: "Once the Turks counterattack, 500 people are not enough to defend the Red Mountain Fort! You should know the real purpose of Manager Chen's fight. We are all bait However, Director Chen has repeatedly warned us to avoid losing your wife and losing your army!"

Originally, Chen Ying wanted to replace Luo Shixin and personally command the tactics of shifting flowers and grafting trees, but Chen Ying's riding skills were really unsatisfactory, so he had no choice but to let Luo Shixin replace him.

"Then what should we do?" Duan Zhigan said, "We won't have to fight the Turks, will we?"

"Of course we can't fight in the wild!" Luo Shi said, "There are too many Turkic people, we will suffer a lot in the wild!"

"Let's do this, build corpses as a wall!" Zhang Shigui thought for a while, and said, "There are so many Turkic corpses, we can also use them as waste. In fact, not only Turkic corpses, but also those tattered weapons can also be used as waste." use!"

Duan Zhi was surprised and said, "How to use it?"

"It's very simple!" Zhang Shigui casually picked up a thick mace, inserted the handle of the mace obliquely into the snowdrift, poured urine on it, and it was frozen hard as iron in a short while.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Luo Shixin made a final decision.

All the soldiers of the Tang army started to get busy again. Dozens of cauldrons used coal to boil water non-stop, and buckets of steaming hot water were poured on the corpse, which was more effective than cement solidification.

The incomplete corpses of the Turks were collected and built into a wall outside the Red Mountain Fortress.Outside the wall are the weapons abandoned by the Turks on the battlefield. The long spears were fixed on the snow by the Tang soldiers with hot water.The sharp edge glowing with cold light is uniformly formed at an angle of [-] degrees with the ground, facing the outside.

Fortunately, tens of thousands of catties of coal are stored in Hongshan Fort, otherwise boiling water would be a problem.

Just when the wall of corpses reached three feet high, Zhang Shigui handed over the calculated account book to Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin didn't answer, and said coldly, "Read!"

Zhang Shigui suddenly realized.

"In this battle, there were only 150 decapitations. Two sets of 450 armors were seized! More than 410 long and short weapons, more than [-] arrows, and [-] horses, among which more than half were wounded, disabled, or dead. !"

"What a pity!" Luo Shi said, "Kill all the wounded and disabled horses. We are not savages. We are not so particular about poverty. We will have an extra meal today, and we will be full with horse meat!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers cheered like thunder.

At this time, the soldiers felt that their bodies were full of strength again, and they worked faster.

……

In Bogulu City, there is an unremarkable little snow bag three miles away.However, this is not a real snow bag, but a leather stick snow sledge used as a mobile beacon.A gang of ten Tang soldiers stationed here.

The whole snow sledge is wrapped in white silk, just like a natural snow bag.Observe the whistle, use white silk as thin as a cicada's wing, and Xiluo acts as it.It can not only block the wind and cold, but also keep the heat in the leather shed.Unless an open fire is lit in the leather shed, it is not easy to find this fake snow bag.

The leader of this gang is called Lao Niu.As the name suggests, he is like an old cow who works hard without complaint, but unfortunately, he has been in the army for more than [-] years, but he has not been promoted properly.

A few sentry cavalry of the Tang Army were dangling at the gate of Bogulu City, and suddenly dozens of Turkic cavalry rushed out of the city of Bogulu City and rushed towards the sentry cavalry of the Tang Army.

Seeing this, the sentry cavalry of Tang cavalry retreated quickly and chased out of Lixu. When the Turkic cavalry saw that they could not catch up with the sentry cavalry of Tang army, they rode back.Tang Junshao watched the Turkic cavalry return to the city, and followed them leisurely.

When the Turkic cavalry saw the Tang army sentry cavalry catching up, they turned their horses and began to drive the Tang army sentry cavalry away again.

Both sides chased each other and ran back and forth five or six times.

However, when the sentry cavalry of the Tang army gradually lost their vigilance, the dozen or so Turkic cavalry suddenly exerted their strength.A full 150 steps away from the Tang Army sentry cavalry, he drew his bow and set his arrows.

A little soldier with a spear in his arms, Xiao Liuzi, smiled and said: "Niutou, come and have a look, this Turkic man is really crazy, 150 steps is only a little more, and he actually shot an arrow. I really think they are eagle shooters!"

The old bull's head came to the observation port to take a look, and felt something was wrong.

The bows of these dozen or so cavalrymen are obviously a size larger than the usual short cavalry bows, and the shafts of the arrows are all black.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......"The sentry cavalry of the Tang army fell off the horse in response. In fact, one sentry cavalry was hit by four or five arrows in the back and tried to struggle to get up, but was chased by a dozen Turkic cavalrymen and hacked to death.

"Not good!" The old bull head shouted: "The Turkic people are going to send troops!"

Sure enough, a large group of Turkic cavalry emerged in Bogulu City. The scale of this group of Turkic cavalry was much larger than expected, and it continued to flow for a cup of tea.

"Enemy attack! Light the beacon fire!" The old cow rushed to the fire pond in the middle of the leather shed, quickly gathered the charcoal that had been spread out for drying, picked up the fire knife and flint, and frantically started the fire. "Come and help, drag the horse manure basket!"

However, after being stunned for a long time, no one moved.

Lao Niu raised his head and felt a strange atmosphere. A group of ten people stared blankly at Bugulucheng without responding.

With this dazed effort, at least five or six thousand riders have rushed out of Bogulu City.

"Light it up, quick!"

"Boom, the pale little Liu'er knelt down to the old cow, "Boss Niu, Master Niu, you can't light the fire!"There are too many Turkic people going out of the city, and there are not enough of us to fill people's teeth!Let's escape when they are all gone. "

Such an unobstructed sledge truck, as long as the beacon is lit, the rear will receive news.But they will be killed by the angry Turks.Originally thinking that he would die, suddenly there was hope of life again, and Lao Niu was also overjoyed.Suddenly he thought of something, the joy on his face was fleeting, and in two or three flashes, he gritted his teeth: "Light it up!"

"You can't light the fire, if you light it, we're all over!"

"Boss Niu, we can't commit suicide by ourselves!"

Several soldiers persuaded him eagerly, and Xiao Liu'er, who was usually the most clever and the most favorite of Lao Niu, even knelt down on the ground, holding on to the hem of Lao Niu's clothes.

Looking at the panicked young soldiers, Lao Niu's tears came down: "Six sons, don't be afraid, Lord Niu will accompany you to the Palace of the King of Hell!"

"No, Master Niu, I don't want to die!"

"I don't want to die either, but I can't!" The old cow snotted and burst into tears.He straightened his somewhat hunched waist, his eyes became firm, he was no longer an old man, but like a majestic general, "We are dead, and there are Turkic people to bury us, if we If he survives, none of the thousands of brothers will survive, you say, is this fire going to be lighted?"

The soldiers began to sweep charcoal and prepare horse manure silently.Xiao Liu'er, who was the most frightened just now, suddenly found that his hands were no longer shaking, his throat was no longer dry, and even his heart seemed to be beating less violently. Knives and flints, knocking again and again, knocking again and again.

The camouflaged white cloth was torn off in a hurry.However, the Turkic people did not notice any abnormality until a huge column of smoke shot up into the sky, like a black dragon breaking through its shackles, rushing straight to the sky with its fangs and claws!

A Turkic commander-in-chief led his troops and rushed towards the old bull's man angrily.

Until the thick smoke rose, Li Fushe knew that his plan to surprise the Red Mountain Fort had failed.This trip is likely to fail.

The old Niutou clenched the horizontal knife in his hand, and shouted hysterically: "The Great Tang is victorious!"

"The Great Tang Dynasty wins~!"

Some people are alive, he is dead.Some people died, but he still lives in people's hearts.
