The soaring flames and explosions attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield. Not to mention the soldiers of Goguryeo, not even the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had seen such a scene.
Of course, the moods of both parties are completely different.
The soldiers of Goguryeo were frightened, frightened and numb. They had always been numb. When they became soldiers, they knew that from a certain perspective, their lives did not belong to themselves, but to these generals and officers.
They have already become numb under various kinds of stick education and death threats. They will carry out the orders of their superiors no matter what, until the moment when their own mental breakdown cannot be maintained. Maintaining military discipline is something that any country must do, and Goguryeo is no exception.
But at this moment they don't know what happened, but they can only stand in their own camp, looking back from time to time to look at the direction where the smoke is rising.
There was some commotion in the entire Goguryeo army, but the soldiers of Tang Dynasty were different. They were only excited and proud now! This is the divine thunder invented by His Highness King Qin! Long live His Highness King Qin!
All the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty felt as if the blood was stirring in their chests. If there was an order at this moment, they would dare to rush forward and fight to the death with the enemy.
Li Shiji kept observing the enemy's camp with binoculars. When the smoke cleared, he looked at the huge pit and the horrific scene.
Li Shiji suddenly put down his telescope and said: "Give me an order. The commanders in each direction will send three soldiers with loud voices to shout with the tin trumpet: Just shout, our general said, there is no point. Let's stop fighting for the time being. Let's They seize the time to treat the wounded and organize the team. We will talk tomorrow and we will retreat two miles."
"Ah?" Hou Junji and others were a little dumbfounded, "Aren't you going to fight? If the general fights, the enemy's morale will be shaken at this time, which is the best opportunity. Especially if the medium-sized crossbows are involved in the attack, the enemy will be very likely to It’s going to collapse soon.”
Hou Junji and the others all knew what the results would be if the medium-sized bed crossbows were aimed at the human wall, especially in the dense formation of Goguryeo. No army could withstand such damage.
"No fight, send the order." Li Shiji said simply.
"Yes!" The messenger quickly began to deliver orders in all directions.
Soon, in each direction of Datang's camp, there were three soldiers on horseback, carrying no weapons, but holding an iron trumpet and running towards Goguryeo's camp.
There was some commotion in the Goguryeo camp. Although there were only three people... the scene just now was too scary, and they didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, these Goguryeo generals on the front line are not fools. They don’t want to die. Therefore, it is best not to attack this kind of behavior similar to messengers. This kind of rule is broken. When they are defeated, these generals will bear the brunt of the enemy. Killed.
These soldiers rode boldly and walked slowly to a place more than 30 meters in front of the Goguryeo camp before stopping. Then the tin trumpet shouted loudly: "Goguryeo generals, listen, our general said, it's boring. There will be no fighting today. Now, I want you to quickly collect and treat the wounded soldiers and organize the team. We in Datang will retreat two miles and we will talk about it tomorrow."
After shouting three times each, the soldiers withdrew directly.
The Goguryeo generals on the front line were already confused. No... what kind of situation is this? Ordinary soldiers were even a little confused. What did the people of the Tang Dynasty mean?
It's just that they couldn't figure it out, but the Tang army strictly carried out Li Shiji's order. The entire Tang army quickly began to retreat. It wasn't until they retreated to the foot of the mountain again that they began to set up camp again.
Everyone in Goguryeo was at a loss. They didn't know what they were feeling in their hearts. They were clearly enemies, but the other party did not take advantage of the chaos to attack. In the situation just now, even ordinary soldiers knew that the enemy had What an advantage.
Because the enemy will attack at that time, it is unknown whether they have the courage to attack.
How could the generals of the Tang Dynasty not know what they all knew? Obviously impossible, but they really didn't attack.
The strength, situation, and fighter aircraft are all on the other side's side, but the other side just doesn't attack! They were also asked to rescue the wounded. Why on earth was this?
These ordinary soldiers didn't know, and neither did Hudar.
But he also wanted to rescue the soldiers who should be rescued. However, many generals under Hudar's name suspected that Datang had some conspiracy, but before the other party showed it, they only reminded Hudar.
Hudar personally went to see the place where the divine thunder struck. It was a huge pit, seven or eight steps in radius, and as deep as two or three people!
The number of casualties also shocked him, because above the place where the divine thunder attacked stood an infantry phalanx of their Goguryeo army. There were three thousand people in the entire phalanx, and now less than 300 people survived, and those who survived, There seems to be something wrong with the eyes and ears.
Among those who died, many of them had no bones left, but some of them were obviously still in good health, but they were bleeding to death from their orifices.
What's even more frightening is that many soldiers died in battle more than 300 steps away from where the divine thunder struck, because their bodies were hit by the destroyed armor, fragments of weapons, or gravel on the ground.
Just like that, the number of soldiers killed directly exceeded 3,100, and there were more than 1,700 wounded soldiers.
Now, of the 60,000 soldiers he brought with him when he left Wugu City, less than 50,000 are intact so far!
There were too many casualties, and Hudar had to order more soldiers to help with treatment, and then the place was gradually stabilized.
The Tang people kept their word and really did not attack, but Hudar was confused. Although he was loyal to General Yuan, as Li Shiji said, did he really just watch these ordinary soldiers die in battle? Because they really...have no chance!
What Hudar didn't know was that the power of the Tang Dynasty Divine Thunder had quickly spread throughout the Goguryeo army, because there was no way to stop such a thing. Even the generals themselves were worried. How could they have time to care about ordinary soldiers? Because today's bombing Among those who died were many forward generals.
"What? Dig us out tomorrow?" Hou Junji and others in the Datang military camp were stunned. What new thing is General Li playing?
"Yes! Tell them tomorrow that our Tang Dynasty does not want to commit more crimes, and the lives of ordinary soldiers also matter. Then we will send a team of a hundred people to dig out the city mines where they were buried and bring them back." Li Shiji said with a smile.
"this……"
"You guys who play tactics are too dirty-minded." Yu Chigong looked at Li Shiji with a shameless look on his face.
Yu Chigong was not good at strategy and looked at the problem more simply. Instead, he suddenly thought of the key point of the problem, which made Hou Junji and the others feel sorry for themselves.
This... is worthy of being the first general to follow His Highness King Qin. This is the true legacy of His Highness.
