Style: Historical Author: Malong ZanghaiWords: 2389Update Time: 24/01/11 17:55:11
No one expected the outcome of the war.

As the Turkic army leader Jia Yanzhang was taken away by the Tang Dynasty.

The Turkic army completely lost its ability to resist.

Even large-scale counterattacks and breakthroughs are not possible.

Only a few people ran out to die.

However, in this battle, the Liangzhou Army also paid a heavy price.

It can even be said that this war was the one with the most casualties since the Liangzhou Army entered the Western Regions.

In this battle, the Liangzhou Army lost more than 1,300 soldiers and injured more than 2,000 people. The total casualties were more than 3,300 people.

The Xinliangzhou Army was the worst.

After this stop, of the 5,000 Xinliangzhou Army, there were only less than 3,000 left.

Most of the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army died when the Liangzhou Army broke out from the canyon.

There is nothing else to be seen in the canyon now. There are only corpses everywhere.

Even the mountains on both sides of the canyon have been washed dark red by blood.

After the armistice.

The Liangzhou Army sent some corpse collection teams of slave workers without weapons or armor to collect the bones of their own soldiers.

Looking at the corpses, none of the Liangzhou soldiers spoke. They all stood there and stared blankly at their former comrades...

After a fierce battle.

The Liangzhou Army suffered heavy losses, as did the Turkic Army.

Not only were more than 10,000 people trapped in the valley, but the commander-in-chief Jia Yanzhang was even captured alive by the enemy.

When Zhao Youlin, who was waiting for news at the rear, heard the news, he almost vomited blood from anger.

He gave Jiayanzhang a total of 30,000 people.

But after this battle, only more than 10,000 people escaped back to the main formation under the leadership of the deputy general.

The rest were either killed and captured, or besieged in the valley.

For Zhao Youlin, this news was definitely like a bolt from the blue.

He even wanted to directly execute the deputy general who led the troops back.

But thinking that there was no one available around him, he gave up.

Not so with the other lieutenant.

He pointed directly at the general who had escaped and cursed: "Seryozha, you are such a waste, you actually risked your brother's life and death and ran back by yourself, do you still deserve to be alive?"

After hearing this, the deputy general named Seryozha was not happy either.

He said bluntly: "If I didn't see something was wrong and took my brothers back, I'm afraid these more than 10,000 people would have been blocked in the valley."

"Do you know how terrifying the heavy armored infantry of the Tang Dynasty are?"

"With one strike, the person was cut into two pieces, and their armor was invulnerable, so our weapons couldn't damage them at all."

"Instead of yelling at me here, you might as well quickly think of a way to deal with these people."

He was really frightened.

The attack power of the Mo Dao soldiers was really terrifying.

Even now when he thinks about it, he can't help but shudder.

Seryosha said bluntly: "Those people are simply a group of ghosts crawling out of hell."

"coward."

The deputy general was still disdainful and cursed angrily: "Coward!"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Zhao Youlin was troubled by the quarrel between these two people.

He said: "With this quarrel going on, why don't you hurry up and come up with a countermeasure for me?"

After hearing this, the deputy general said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers in our valley now are full of physical strength, and their military strength is still at its peak."

"I suggest that we send someone to sneak in and organize everyone to break out."

He said seriously: "Otherwise, when the Liangzhou Army builds defenses, it will be too late for those brothers to break through."

"It's too late now."

Zhao Youlin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He said: "I know Li Chengqian, this kid will not make such a low-level mistake."

"I'm afraid that boy has already built a copper wall and an iron wall, and he wants to surround our brothers to death."

"Besides, those brothers have just experienced a fierce battle, and now their morale is low."

"Even if the cost of breaking through is not worth the casualties, the final outcome will be to cause futile casualties to the soldiers below and it will be of no use at all."

Zhao Youlin shook his head and said: "Instead of doing this, it is better to let them have a good rest now."

"How long will you rest?"

The deputy general frowned and said, "Your Majesty, they didn't bring much rations. I'm afraid they will all starve to death in a few days."

"That's better than just incurring casualties."

Zhao Youlin also showed his ruthless side at this moment.

He said: "March and fight, that's what it is."

"Either the enemy dies, or we perish."

"Now, the enemy has the upper hand. If we go to save them, it will be equivalent to letting more people die."

"And, can't you see that this is the simplest way to surround a point and call for reinforcements?"

"What I want to say is very clear. Rest where you are and wait for the opportunity. Don't you understand?"

Zhao Youlin squinted his eyes and looked at the deputy general, and said, "I have already said that the thing I hate the most is when someone dares to question my decision."

After hearing this, look at his eyes again.

The general was so frightened that his hair trembled.

Apart from other things, the tempering in the past few years has really allowed Zhao Youlin to develop a ruthless aura.

This aura was enough to make the lieutenant feel frightened just by looking at him.

Next, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

However, although Zhao Youlin talks tough, how could he not care in his heart?

That's more than 10,000 soldiers.

Moreover, the Western Turks are very unstable at the moment. If all the more than 10,000 people die here, those who are interested will definitely take this opportunity to cause chaos within the Western Turks.

But……

How can we save these people without fighting?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhao Youlin's mind.

Then he sighed softly.

"It seems that I can only go to Tang Camp in person."

Hearing this, everyone around them looked horrified.

"Okay, don't talk too much."

Zhao Youlin raised his head slightly and said, "These brothers must survive. This battle cannot continue."

"us……"

Although it is difficult to say.

But Zhao Youlin still said: "We lost..."



Within the canyon.

As I said before, the cliffs on both sides of the canyon are very steep and impossible to climb.

The Turkic Army had previously set up camp outside in order to besiege the Liangzhou Army.

At this time, all the food and supplies were outside and nothing was brought in.

Their current situation can be said to be even worse than that of the Liangzhou Army.

After all, the Liangzhou Army at least had someone carrying dry food with them. They didn't bring anything with them and could only shoot the Liangzhou Army's horses before gathering them from everywhere.

But there are ten thousand people in the valley, and there is no food or water. These more than ten thousand people are counting on the corpses of these horses, which obviously cannot last long.

If the Turkic army does not break through, the only thing waiting for them will be death of thirst and starvation.

But now they are facing a situation where there is no command from the general.

At the same time, the defenses outside have been occupied and reinforced by the Liangzhou Army.

And all they can do now is wait for rescue.

So the Turkic army did not launch a counterattack next...
