Chapter 501 Heavy Reward

Seeing one of his personal guards fall, Li Ge couldn't care less about being sad. He didn't have the time to be sad. He himself was already covered in blood. He had already been fighting on the front line just now. If he hadn't been pulled back by his personal guards, If so, your life may be in danger right now.

Xue Yantuo's army is now in full force. There are at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops fighting on the periphery. In comparison, the Tang army can still fight no more than 20,000 people, and there are still nearly 7,000 in the entire military camp. Many wounded soldiers.

A bow and arrow fell from the sky and hit Li Ke's shoulder.

But Li Ke didn't care. He didn't have the time now. Seeing hundreds of cavalry in the distance preparing to charge again, Li Ke and others pushed to the camp gate and picked up the bows and arrows next to them. There is an arrow in the distance.

A centurion on the opposite side fell to the ground, but due to the force of the stretching, Li Ke's wound was torn open. When he was about to get the second arrow, he fell backward.

"Your Majesty..."

The people around him quickly pulled Li Ke back. There were too many injured people in the whole army. We must not let more people see this scene. If others saw it, it would probably shake the morale of the army. Let's Now we are hanging on with just one breath. If this breath is gone, the camp will soon be captured by the opponent. Once it is captured by the opponent, no one present will be alive.

"My lord, come down."

Lieutenant General Li Zhilong shouted to the sky. One of the surrounding lieutenants didn't understand what was going on, but he soon understood and shouted this sentence with him.

The surrounding soldiers soon heard it. Although Li Ge was not on the front line at the moment, the surrounding soldiers did not know that they could hear Li Zhilong's words clearly. This meant that the prince was fighting with us, and many people felt warm in their hearts. .

Li Ke's soldiers were not fools. After they heard Li Zhilong's words, one of his soldiers immediately put on Li Ke's armor, and then the surrounding soldiers moved closer to this man.

This created an illusion. Although King Wu had been wounded and was carried down, King Wu's flag was still placed here. Everyone thought that King Wu was still fighting. As long as our prince is still there, then As long as this battle is not over, we will continue to fight for the honor of Datang.

"His Royal Highness King Wu has an order. Regardless of life or death in this battle, each person will be rewarded with ten sticks."

Li Zhilong also ordered his soldiers to spread this sentence everywhere in the military camp. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. For ordinary soldiers, ten guans per person is not a small amount. In a society where one penny is a pound of rice. Here, the money is enough for them to live a good life.

Xue Yantuo's camp.

"Continue to send troops to support me. Send all the soldiers to support me. All the people have to go to the battlefield for me tonight. If they are not killed, then even if we escape into Mobei, everyone's morale will be affected." It’s also extremely depressing.”

Khan Xue Yantuo said loudly. At this moment, he was already red-eyed. At the beginning, it was the armies of various Turkic tribes, then some of his second-rate armies, then his first-rate armies, and finally he His direct descendants have yet to break through the Tang Army's camp. On the contrary, the number of casualties is increasing. Including some of the generals around him, they all died in the battle tonight, so they must win tonight. If they pay It is really unreasonable that there is no victory at such a high price.

Several other Turkic kings are gritting their teeth now. Many of their troops have suffered more than half casualties, but they also know that there is no way out at this point. They have no way to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, so Now we can only let our soldiers rush upward.

The armies on both sides seemed to have forgotten the pain. They rushed up row after row. When one died, they rushed up. There was no one to take care of the wounded soldiers where they were. Now everyone has only one idea, that is, to go up. rush.

The grassland on the ground has been dyed red, and blood has covered many grasslands. If you look at it from a distance, the grassland is no longer green, and many places have turned red. This scene looks extremely strange. But no one is watching this scene. Everyone has only one idea now, and that is to win.

Some handymen from the Tang army also rushed forward, and the number of regular army casualties rose sharply. These people were originally responsible for transporting some ordnance, but now they rushed forward with the weapons next to them. The truth of these people's lips and teeth is cold. It is clear that if the Datang military camp was breached, based on the brutality of tonight, I am afraid that no one would be able to survive.

Many war horses of the Tang army have been pushed out. Now the cavalry does not need to charge. The construction equipment of the temporary camp has been destroyed several times. They have nothing to repair. They can only use these horses as a temporary camp. , let them lie in front of Xue Yantuo's army.

You must know that war horses are the second life of cavalry. When pushing these war horses out, many Tang soldiers had their teeth broken. They did not want to put their second lives in front, but if not If you do this, there will be no way to resist the enemy's attack. When the enemy rushes in, not only the lives of the horses will be lost, but also the lives of these people.

"Your Highness, we have run out of arrows."

King Wu had finished bandaging, but he could not stay behind, so he came up immediately with his men.

Although his body was still bleeding, King Wu Li Ke seemed not to feel it and immediately led his men behind to collect arrows.

If our bows and arrows stop, more and more enemy soldiers will rush towards us, and the peripheral defense line alone cannot stop them, especially the charging cavalry.

Therefore, at this time, the arrows stuck on the ground and corpses must be collected and sent to the soldiers on the front line. Although there is still some blood and other things on them, it is better than nothing.

According to the quartermaster's preparations, this should be the amount they would use for half a month, but now it is all used up. One can imagine how tragic the battle tonight will be.

"Pour oil on the horses' backs, stab them in the buttocks with daggers, rush out and set them on fire with rockets..."

Seeing that Xue Yantuo's cavalry was ready in the distance, King Wu Li Ke had no choice but to issue this order...
