Chapter 1406 The dream was exposed

Just before the stick of incense, Wu Yuanhao was still thinking majesticly. Thinking that he had defeated the Tang army, what kind of reward should the Vietnamese court give him? Didn’t the younger son fall in love with the Vietnamese princess? It was just a good opportunity to take advantage of this great victory to let the younger son marry the Vietnamese princess.

I'm afraid he no longer has such thoughts. He only thinks that he can rush back. There is still a crack in the city gate in the distance. The soldiers there still dare not close the city gate. Although there is heavy artillery fire outside the city, the city It's still safe inside. As long as you wait for the general to run back, they will close the city gate immediately. As for those people behind the general, you can only ask for good luck.

From the city wall, we can see that the troops who set off in the morning are all heading towards the city gate. They all know that they have to run faster. They can still get in in front of the general. If they run behind the general, , then you have no chance at all.

The speed of the Tang cavalry was also quite astonishing, but they did not dare to get too close to the city wall. Many Vietnamese soldiers on the wall also had bows and arrows, and those people were condescending and had natural advantages in archery, so they could only It was intercepted 80 steps away from the city wall.

Wu Yuanhao could definitely run back, but the people under him were not so lucky. As the city gate closed heavily, this meant that the tens of thousands of people who came out became the biggest loss today.

According to Chang Sunze, they don't care about the death of one or two people, and we don't care even less. What we care about is the vitality of the entire country.

Many people saw that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to go under the city wall, so they ran under the city wall in groups, hoping that they could hide under the cover of the bows and arrows on the city wall. It was a pity that they had this idea. It was impossible to achieve. The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty naturally did not dare to go under the city wall, but the artillery shells of the Tang Dynasty dared to pass.

After some adjustments, more than a dozen artillery pieces were fired specifically at the base of the city wall. Thousands of people who had originally gathered here dispersed immediately. Their population density was so great that even one cannonball dropped. It can kill more than ten or twenty people. In this case, if anyone is still staying under the city wall, isn't that mentally ill?

The gates of Luocheng will definitely not be opened again, so there is only one way in front of them now, and that is to return to the north of Luocheng honestly. A large circle has been drawn in the middle, with a large number of All Vietnamese soldiers who can walk are inside this circle.

After returning to the city, Wu Yuanhao felt the pain on his shoulder. It turned out that in addition to the injury on his head, this guy's shoulder was also injured. But he was in a hurry when he ran for his life, so he didn't care at all. , now I see that half of my body is stained with blood.

"Hel me up the city wall..."

According to other people's opinions, the wound should be treated first, but Wu Yuanhao can't do it at all now. He has to go up to see what's going on outside. It's normal that everyone doesn't want him to go up. Now you can come back This is our greatest victory. Even if you can see the situation outside, so what? Can we still change today's outcome?

It took no more than two hours to fight out fiercely. Now all the people are squatting 1,500 meters north of the city. These people are Wu Yuanhao's former subordinates. Some are still holding their own horses in their hands, and some are holding their own horses. The people couldn't even find their horses, and some of the most elite cavalry in Vietnam were just finished.

Wu Yuanhao felt that something was stuck in his throat. He wanted to say a few words, but couldn't. Then he felt a mouthful of blood pouring out, and it immediately spurted out on the city wall. What happened next? He felt nothing. His eyes went dark and he fell to the side in a daze. If it weren't for the soldier next to him, he might have cracked his head open at this moment.

The gap in combat effectiveness left the Vietnamese with no other ideas. All those going out to fight this time were their most elite troops. If even these troops could not open the defense line of the Tang army, then the remaining troops would What's the use? Although Wu Yuanhao came back alive, he lost all the most elite troops in Vietnam. Whether it was the mountain troops or the cavalry outside, Vietnam did not have the ability to form a second army.

That night, the Tang army lit a large number of fires outside. All the prisoners of war had to sit around the fires, and their right arms were tied up. These people were the labor force that would build this place in the future. , this is all your land, but if you fight against our Tang army, you will not have any freedom, so your land and property will also be taken over by us. What may be waiting for you in the future is twenty or thirty years. years of servitude.

The Vietnamese soldiers seemed to have seen their future. Each of their faces looked lifeless. Originally, they thought that they could make small military exploits today and collect a few rewards after returning.

It's a pity that the gap between the two sides is really too big. Many people have this idea in their minds, that is, when we fight with the Tang army, it is like adults playing with children, no matter how good our strategies are. In other people's hands, the awesomeness will have no effect at all.

It's a pity that it's too late to realize it now. You are no longer soldiers of the Vietnamese court. You are now prisoners of war of the Tang Dynasty army. It is said that you will be incorporated into the labor camp from tomorrow and you will go to the rear to repair. road.

The army of the Tang Dynasty has always had this fine tradition. No matter where they hit, they must build roads. If they can build cement roads, then build cement roads. If they can't build cement roads, even use stone slabs. You have to build this road. Anyway, you guys are the ones building the road. No matter how many people die, you have to build this road. This is the way for our Tang army to go home.

In fact, the kings of various countries also understand that after the construction of these roads is completed, the rapid response troops of the Tang Dynasty army can come over at any time. In the future, you will have no other choice but to obey the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Roads are a link between Datang and other countries, and this is also their first priority after the war. (End of chapter)
