When the Turkic cavalry broke into the fire and thunder formation, the outcome of this battle was already doomed. The Turkic cavalry, which had lost the power of charging, was just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the face of the Tang army's crossbows and arrows and swords and shields. In front of the well-trained Tang army, the Turks who rely solely on their personal bravery are completely inadequate...
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion automatically dispersed into groups, searching and inspecting the corpses and wounded soldiers all over the place. There was an old Turk who was probably knocked unconscious by the shock. He had several wounds on his body and fragments of thunder. It was deeply embedded in the flesh, but did not hurt any vital parts. At this moment, he woke up and knelt down in fright, begging, hoping that Tang Jun could let him go.
Is this guy an idiot?
Fang Jun walked over without even hesitating. He swung the horizontal sword in his hand and cut off the Turk's head with a flash of light. Blood sprang into the air.
Are you kidding me? When the two armies are facing each other, you are allowed to kill my brothers wantonly, but you still have the nerve to beg for mercy after defeat?
The camp was already like a hell on earth, with corpses everywhere, dead people, dead horses, mutilated limbs, broken arms, blood flowing everywhere, it was too horrible to look at...
Fang Jun's face was cold: "Kill them all and build a Jingguan!"
Duan Zan, who had been following him, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. He subconsciously looked at the mess everywhere. Although many Turks died, there were no less than a thousand injured but not dead.
No matter how cold Duan Zan was, this kind of massacre of thousands of people at once still made his hair stand on end.
Duan Zan swallowed hard and advised: "This... Lord Hou, is it inappropriate? The Turks are actually more injured. Why not capture them all and let the Turks Khan redeem them with money, cattle and horses?"
"Are you short of money?" Fang Jun glared at him and said displeased.
"Uh..." Duan Zan sweated profusely and thought to himself, even if I am short of money, can I get some of the ransom?
Fang Jun stared at Duan Zan and gritted his teeth and said, "You have to remember, don't follow those rotten Confucians. All the talk about benevolence, justice and universal love is bullshit! For your own people, you must pay attention to fraternity, kindness, universal love and forgiveness. But with a group of bandits who are burning, killing and looting, what's the point? Are you kind and forgiving? Next time these Turks see the Han people, they will be grateful and walk around? Bullshit! The law of the jungle and natural selection are theirs. Faith, as long as you show the slightest hint of weakness, these bastards will pounce on you like wild wolves and bite you till your blood drips. Just kill them..."
To be civilized, people who are not of my race must have different minds.
In layman's terms, what the Turks believe in is the natural law of natural selection, where the strong eat the weak. When you are weak, taking your life and snatching your woman is a matter of course to them. Even if you let them go, They won't be very grateful and will do it again next time.
As for those so-called learned scholars who are clamoring about the Hanhu family, they are just standing and talking without pain. You let the Turks kill his son and rob his wife. Do you think he can say anything about universal love and forgiveness? Nonsense...
Of course Duan Zan knew this. He just felt that killing so many people at once was too shocking, but since the superior had given the order, he would just kill them.
He has no psychological barriers to killing Turks.

When the sun peeks out from behind the dense clouds, the warm sunshine shines on the desert frontier, which means that this cold winter rain has passed.
Groups of vultures circled and danced in the sky, passing by at low altitude from time to time, emitting unpleasant owl calls. The bloody smell rising from the ground made them excited, but those neatly arrayed humans made them feel keenly. It is dangerous and dare not fall to the ground to look for food.
However, delicious food is right in front of you, who is willing to give up?
Fang Jun frowned and looked at the vultures circling in the sky with disgust. These birds that feed on animal carcasses are simply disgusting.
The sound of hoofbeats was heard in the distance. This time it was in the place where the sun rose in the east. It was not the Turkic cavalry, but the Tang army stationed at Yumen Pass.
A few days ago, when Fang Jun and Liu Rengui discussed setting up this "thunder formation" to annihilate the Turks who were following them, Fang Jun sent out scouts to Yumen Pass to ask for help. After all, you must be prepared for the worst in everything. If the annihilation battle fails, we have to count on the Tang army at Yumen Pass to come to the rescue...
Come to think of it, the efficiency of the defenders at Yumen Pass is not generally low.
The Turkic cavalry on our side have been annihilated, and the reinforcements are belatedly arriving. Fortunately, we won a big victory last night, otherwise if we expected these gentlemen to come to save our lives, all nine lives would be lost...
After last night's sniper attack, the morale of the Shenji Battalion has risen to an unprecedented level. The entire team no longer feels depressed and depressed as before, and everyone is laughing. That's what war is like, it's either you die or I live, it just depends on whether death is worth it or not.
In the military career, the corpses are wrapped in horse hides, and even those who are afraid of death are already prepared to lose their lives. To be able to personally avenge the dead brothers and gain a lot of merit by the way, it is simply perfect...
"Lord Commander, we have beheaded more than a thousand people this time. Do you think your Majesty will award another first-level meritorious service?"
Xi Jun bought a horse with a bunch of Turkic ears hanging around its neck. He asked Liu Rengui next to him. What the Tang army cared about most was military merit. It would not only honor their ancestors, reduce taxes on their families, but also improve their military positions.
Looking at the excited soldiers around him, Liu Rengui's face was a little ugly: "You still have the nerve to ask for military honors? This time on the return trip, more than two hundred brothers died in the battle. It was very embarrassing and I didn't see the Marquis. How dare you ask for military honors when you keep a dark face?"
Xi Jun bought it, shrank his neck, and glanced furtively at Fang Jun, who was standing in front of the formation. Sure enough, his face was gloomy.
Then he muttered: "Lord Commander, please stop scaring people. When has the face of our Lord Marquis not been dark..."
Several close soldiers nearby burst into snickers.
Liu Rengui also laughed.
Speaking of which, our Lord Marquis has a rather dark face...
The Tang Army cavalry in front was getting closer and closer. Fang Jun urged the horses to meet them.
A group of cavalry came galloping towards them. When they got close, they all stood still. The leading general jumped off the horse quickly, clasped his fists at Fang Jun and said: "The last general Yumenguan, the captain is rich and powerful, I dare to ask." But in front of the Marquis of Xinxiang?"
Fang Jun laughed and praised: "What a good name! It's exactly me!"
When Fuguiqiang heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Greetings to the Marquis!"
Fang Jun waved his hand, "No courtesy! You all came to the rescue day and night, and I have such deep friendship, I have to thank you so much!"
Hearing the teasing in his tone, Colonel Fu Guiqiang looked embarrassed and a little uneasy, and said quickly: "Master Hou, it's not that the general is delaying his trip. In fact, my general just issued the order the day before yesterday, ordering the general to lead his army. The general was so worried about the rescue that he marched more than 300 miles in two days before he arrived. Fortunately, the Turkic cavalry had not yet come after him, otherwise the general would have died without redemption!"
He was really uneasy. He was also from Guanzhong, and he had always heard of the famous name of the Marquis in front of him. Arrogant, domineering, unreasonable, stupid... This man is a man who makes the whole of Chang'an tremble when he stomps his feet. Even the prince dare not provoke him. If he seeks his own bad luck, why not make him feel better?
But it is indeed unfair. Who knows why our general had to wait one day late to send reinforcements after receiving the urgent report from the scouts?
"Fortunately? Haha..." Fang Jun gritted his molars and revealed a ferocious smile: "Last night, three thousand Turkic cavalry launched a surprise attack on Shenji Camp!"
"ah?"
Fu Gui Qiang was shocked and said, "Three thousand?"
What a joke, if there are three thousand Turkic cavalry, they can almost walk sideways in the desert outside the Great Wall. Even if they encounter the main force of the Tang army, they can retreat calmly, and the Tang army will not even dare to chase! Who doesn't know that in the desert outside the Great Wall, the Turks are the kings of wild battles?
"Then why did the Turkic cavalry retreat?" Fu Guiqiang was puzzled. Since it is clear that they are coming for your Shenji camp, how can they let you go?
"Retreat?" Fang Jun sneered. Without answering the captain's words, he asked: "Your general is Sun Ling, the general guarding the Yumen Pass, right?"
"Yes!" Fu Guiqiang cried in his heart. Listening to this man's tone, he seemed to have made his own general bear a grudge...
