Chapter 139 Retreating Troops

After the first experience, it was much easier for the brothers to deal with it this time, so they began to hunt down other people in the tribe without waiting for Li Xiang's order.

"We are Han people, we are Han people..."

Just as Li Xiang closed his eyes and waited for his brothers to do something, suddenly the voice of the Han people came from not far away, didn't they say that everyone had returned to the city? What's going on with these people?

"General, please spare our lives. We are all Han people. We are not surrendering to Tuyuhun. They snatched us away. We have been slaves here for several years. Look at it. The scars on our bodies are really not because we want to betray Datang, but because they don’t let us go back.”

When these people were brought to Li Xiang, they all knelt down and took off their clothes to let Li Xiang see the scars on their bodies. It can be seen that nothing good happened here during this period. day.

After questioning, it turned out that they were all farmers in the border area, but Tuyuhun's cavalry often robbed them. In the end, there was nothing left to rob in their homes, and the Tuyuhun people directly regarded them as slaves.

"Were you brought here as a family?"

Li Xiang felt uncomfortable looking at the scars on these people.

"When I go back to the general, my parents can't stand this kind of life and have been beaten to death. My children are sold to no one knows where. We are the only two left, but my wife..."

When this middle-aged man talked about his wife, he really didn't know what to say. Since they came here, his wife has no personal safety. Although she is not young anymore, she has been well maintained. , so men from Tuguhun often come to insult his wife. If he dares to resist, the men from Tuguhun will hang him up and freeze him overnight.

When the attack started, his wife happened to be in the camp of the Tuyuhun people. When those people heard that the Tang army was coming, they raised their hands and cut off his wife's left arm with a knife. Now her life or death is uncertain.

"Kill them for me, leaving no men or women behind."

Listening to the experience of the man in front of him, Li Xiang finally couldn't help it. In the tribe just now, women and old people still stayed, but since you don't abide by such rules, don't blame me for being rude. These guys just wait to die!

"Your Highness, those children?"

Li Guang pointed at some children in the distance and said. It could be seen from the faint firelight that these children also had hatred in their eyes.

"The wild fire cannot be burned out, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates, kill!"

Li Xiang thought of the brother's child just now. Since you don't take our children seriously, then your children are not qualified to be in this world.

"Pass on this king's order. If you encounter a similar tribe in the future, no chickens or dogs will be spared."

The major tribes in Tuyuhun are still different. Some tribes are not so ruthless in doing things, and Li Xiang will give them some opportunities to continue. But if they are like the tribe in front of them and treat us Han people as human beings, then You should go to the Lord of Hell to repent. I am not worthy of giving you this opportunity to repent.

The shouts of killing lasted for half an hour, but there was no pity on the faces of the soldiers present. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for going too far. If you don't go so far, we will keep a line in everything. Kill your entire tribe.

When Li Xiang was preparing to sneak attack on the third tribe, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. This should be the messenger sent by the Tang Dynasty. It seemed that the situation had changed.

"Report to General Li. The general ordered all troops to retreat to Liangzhou City quickly. Tuyuhun's 20,000-strong army is attacking!"

It is normal for the messenger to convey Qin Qiong's order to Li Xiang. This has been going on all night. If there is no reaction from Tuyuhun, they may be able to surround them tonight. Li Xiang and the three More than a thousand soldiers were exhausted. They attacked two tribes in one night. In addition, this was their first time on the battlefield. Li Xiang should give them a chance to breathe, so Li Xiang did not insist on attacking the third tribe. If we advance, we will immediately withdraw our troops.

Along the way, Li Xiang encountered several other attacking teams. None of these teams completed their tasks, but their losses were not small. Mainly because they did not have as many attacks as Li Xiang, nor as many as Li Xiang. Like so many secret weapons.

"What a good guy, brother, you took the lead this time, even the older brothers were outclassed by you."

When they were about to arrive at Liangzhou City, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu also came around. According to the current rules of the Tang Dynasty, one must cut off an enemy's ears to kill an enemy. Li Xiang's more than two thousand ears were more than the two of them combined. , and surpassed all other generals who went out to do things.

"Brothers must have been delayed by those things."

Li Xiang pointed to some baggage in the distance and said. Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were both a little embarrassed. It seems that the two of them were a bit short-sighted. They were not as good as Li Xiang who was going on an expedition for the first time. Apart from military objectives, they had no other plans. If you are interested in anything else, it is because we wasted time collecting these things, resulting in only solving one tribe in one night.

"These one hundred and fifty slaves belong to my brother. It just so happens that I still owe you some money. I will send you these one hundred and fifty slaves to Chang'an. We two brothers will be settled."

Cheng Chumo thought of his steel sword, and he still had to pay part of it. He had agreed to pay it on the battlefield. After the first battle, he captured more than 800 prisoners, and some of them were handed over to the court. Some of them were distributed to his subordinates, and these one hundred and fifty happened to be his.

After Old Man Sun heard this, he felt very depressed. If we had captured prisoners last night, we could have captured two thousand prisoners. Why are we taking the 150 prisoners now? But look at our Highness. If you don't get along with these people, now you can only watch others get rich.

"It's all trivial matters, let's clear up the two sides."

Li Xiang waved his hand nonchalantly, everyone was eating in the same pot, why were they so fussy about it? It’s uncertain who will ask for whom in the future!

"What's going on? Can prisoners change their swords?"

Qin Huaiyu on the side immediately exploded when he heard this. He had prisoners and so did I!
