Kebal was completely confused. Until he was pushed to the ground by the soldiers, his brain did not react. Because of these soldiers around him, did you tell me that they were soldiers from Linyi? If there were such soldiers in Linyi, would they have been suppressed by them for so many years?
You must know that a lot of their current land was snatched from Lin Yi.
Until Kebal, who was pressed to the ground, saw that flag, the Tang army flag with black characters on a red background, Kebal was completely stunned, wasn't he? Why are Datang's troops here? And he's still such an elite person? Looking at these Tang troops in full armor, Kebal knew very well that this could not be the troops stationed on the border between Datang and Linyi. These armors were obviously new.
Although the troops on the border of the Tang Dynasty also had full-body armor, they were all old armors. Brand-new armors like this had obviously just appeared. The question is why were the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty in Linyi? Moreover, something happened just now in Linyi. The army of Tang Dynasty is already here?
Could it be that? An idea suddenly popped up in Kebal's mind, that is, Lin Yi didn't rebel, but Datang sent troops? The problem is that there is no reason. The Tang Dynasty now has many foreign enemies. Whether it is Goguryeo, Xueyantuo in the north or Tubo in the west, countries such as the Western Turks pose a much greater threat to the Tang Dynasty than Lin Yi.
What does Linyi have in this country? It can be said that there is nothing. Although Datang said that it can be destroyed easily, it is not necessary!
Kebal was completely stunned.
Before he could think clearly in his mind, he was brought to a man who was obviously a general.
"Are you Zhenwa's general?" Pei Xingjian asked.
"Yes, are you the general of the Tang Dynasty?" Kebal asked tentatively.
"Yes, I am the general of the Tang Dynasty. The people in Linyi revolted and captured the royal city of Linyi. They defeated the royal city army in Linyi and captured Linyi. Then these rebels chose to join me, the Tang Dynasty. Now Linyi is now This is my land of the Tang Dynasty, but you, Zhen Wa, took the opportunity to enter our land of the Tang Dynasty at this time. What do you want to do?" Pei Xingjian asked with a serious face.
Kebal: "..."
He almost spit out a mouthful of blood. How the hell do I know this? Then again, isn't the speed of your Tang Dynasty's surrender too fast? We entered Linyi's territory immediately after something went wrong in Linyi.
Good guy, we haven't reached the royal capital of Lin Yi yet, but you have not only captured Lin Yi, but also Lin Yi has surrendered? Is this speed too outrageous? What about children playing house?
If I knew this was Datang's land, how could I lead my army in? !
But that's not the point. The point is, they really can't be offended!
"So that the generals of the Shangguo know that we are really a vassal state of the Shangguo. If we know that Linyi is now the territory of the Tang Dynasty, as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it is naturally impossible for us to send troops into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This time we enter The territory of Linyi Kingdom actually knows that Linyi Kingdom has been rebelled, and Princess Su Yeli of Zhenwa is trapped in the royal city of Linyi, so we want to rescue our princess of Zhenwa."
"So this is an accident. Naturally, we don't dare to invade the territory of the upper country." Kebal's posture was very low. Nonsense, look at the corpses of soldiers everywhere. Who the hell dares to maintain such a low posture?
"These are not the main point. Even if your princess of Zhenwa fell into Linyi Royal City, this is not the reason why you entered Linyi territory as soon as you got the news. Besides, how do I know whether what you said is true or false? ?" Pei Xingjian asked with a cold face. Of course, it was impossible for him to reveal that he knew Su Yeli's identity.
"So, no matter from any angle, you really have no good intentions, but considering that you really don't know that Lin Yi has joined us, the Tang Dynasty, and those who don't know are not guilty, I can give you a chance."
"Thank you, General, for your insight. Please give me some advice, General."
"I can let you leave and return to the King's City of Zhenwa, and bring the news to your King Zhenwa. Considering that you entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty without authorization this time, and I, His Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, are now in the King's City of Xianglin City in Linyi, His Highness the King of Qin You are allowed to give an explanation and compensation to end this matter, otherwise our Datang army will never allow anyone to trample on our Datang territory at will."
"Now His Highness the King of Qin gives you a chance, but we ourselves are not willing. As for how to compensate and resolve this matter, go back to your king!" Pei Xingjian said with a serious face.
What else could Kabal say? It is the greatest gift that he can leave now, and he has to go back and talk about this matter anyway, because his status is high enough.
Pei Xingjian did not hesitate and immediately released Kebal, and also released several of Kebal's personal guards and lieutenants, as well as the few surviving horses in their army. All the remaining soldiers became prisoners of the Tang army.
After leaving, Kebal did not hesitate and directly led a dozen people to Zhenwa's royal city. This matter was too important. If it was delayed, it might cause irreparable consequences.
In particular, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army shocked him even more.
Kebal didn't know how many casualties there were, but more than half of the five hundred war elephants were killed by a special crossbow. This meant that none of their war elephant troops could pose any threat to the Tang Dynasty's army. However, the Tang Dynasty When the army faced them, it was naked massacre!
After sending Kebar away, Pei Xingjian and others immediately gathered all the prisoners and counted them.
"The casualties are close to four thousand, including three thousand killed and one thousand injured. This power is higher than we imagined." Liu Yilong said excitedly.
"Indeed, there is very little in terms of armor-piercing ability. Although actual armor-piercing tests on iron armor have not yet been conducted, the penetration of rattan armor like theirs at this distance is almost 100%."
"Furthermore, wounds after shooting are very difficult to suture and stop bleeding. According to statistics, at least close to a thousand soldiers died of excessive bleeding after we gathered them together." Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "It is because the consumption of arrows is relatively high. More, each of us shot an average of ten arrows just now."
"But the war advantages it brings to us are obvious, which means that we also have advantages in head-on battles." Liu Yilong nodded. He had to say that he had never fought such a rich battle before, and the weapons and armor were almost They are all full.
The important thing is that the size of this bed crossbow is reduced, and the force required to pull the crossbow string is smaller, but the power is not reduced, which is terrible.
