Chapter 549: The Dignity of Fighting

Soon these two people understood who was stupid. There must be nothing wrong with General Su's head. When these crossbow arrows drew a beautiful parabola from the sky and landed on Xue Yantuo's army, they knew these things. The real effect.

Gunpowder had not yet appeared in this era, so they did not know what this thing was. They only knew that when each crossbow arrow fell, it was equivalent to the lives of more than a dozen cavalry being handed over here. Xue Yantuo's army had naturally seen this. For those who were planting things, when their comrades were killed or injured, some of them had already started running back.

The last time they encountered this kind of thing, their tens of thousands of troops were defeated. Now there are only 4,000 people, still divided into two parts. The sky is densely packed. If all those crossbow arrows fall, these few Are a thousand people enough to blow someone up?

"How is that possible? What is that?"

Wa Dahan said with some surprise. The Xue Yantuo cavalry, who were still aggressive just now, were less than a kilometer away from the Datang military camp. The people who were bombed were knocked over. Now they can't even organize an orderly team, let alone attack. Moreover, there were dozens of cavalrymen who simply ran back.

These people are the most trustworthy people around Xue Yantuo Khan. They are also Xue Yantuo's most capable troops. But now that Xue Yantuo has perished, they are just a bunch of bereaved dogs. Let alone let them attack now, can they? It’s not easy to have a neat queue of people to please.

The army in the north was still able to fight, at least it rushed forward when the shell exploded. The army in the south turned around when they heard the explosion, and even their general led the U-turn.

This was something Su Dingfang did not expect. Su Dingfang originally thought that after a wave of artillery fire killed them, the remaining people would definitely rush to the front of the camp, so he asked all the soldiers to abandon their horses, and then used serial crossbows to kill them. Who knows? Where the artillery fire exploded, these people were already defeated. Even if we mount our horses now, we probably won't be able to catch up with them.

Hundreds of people from the north rushed to the front of the camp. Under the saturation attack of the serial crossbows, these people did not even report their names, and each one of them turned into briquettes.

As for the army in the south, after hundreds of people were killed, they immediately divided into several queues and scattered around. The brother in the sky looked anxious, but he was just a scout, he could only be Floating above the military camp, unable to put on wings, I could only watch these people leave.

"I really didn't expect Xue Yantuo's army to be so useless. If I had known this was the case, I would have left two thousand cavalry to pursue them no matter what."

In only an hour, Xue Yantuo's four thousand troops were defeated. There were many corpses of men in black around them. The remaining people fled in all directions. Even if you want to pursue them, it may not be that easy. What's more, What's more, we don't know much about our surroundings. If we fall into the enemy's trap, it will only increase casualties.

"It's good to have the victory we have now. Our own strength is not very strong. Don't think about defeating others. We are a farming nation and compared with these nomadic peoples, we are indeed inferior to them in fighting immediately. You have to Just be convinced."

Mr. Zhao came out of the tent happily. He was indeed a little nervous just now. After all, he was only a civil servant and had never seen any emergencies on the battlefield. Now he could see everything clearly. The enemy was coming menacingly. But he was not our opponent at all. He solved the opponent in a few words, leaving our general here to worry.

"If you old man said that, I am really not convinced. To be honest, if it weren't for ensuring your safety, I would have rushed forward with my men immediately. After fighting in the north and south for many years, I have the ability to fight immediately. No worse than them.”

Su Dingfang was telling the truth. If he had mounted his horse and fought just now, his men would have been able to capture the prisoners. But the most important thing now is to ensure the safety of Mr. Zhao and other members of the mission. If Su Dingfang led his men and chased them out, The safety of these people is threatened. Even if he captures all of them, Li Shimin will definitely attack him. A general must think clearly about what is important and what is not.

"I believe what you said. On behalf of the people in the mission, I would like to thank General Su."

Master Zhao's words made Su Dingfang not sure what to say. She originally thought that Master Zhao would not be like this, but she didn't expect that Master Zhao has become a mature man and has already seen the surrounding situation clearly. The combat effectiveness of our Datang army is better than Xue Yantuo was several levels higher. If Su Dingfang led people to pursue him, he would definitely be able to expand the results. The reason why he didn't go out was to protect the mission.

"These guys are long overdue."

Su Dingfang was about to say something else, but he remembered the sound of war horses behind him. It came from the west, which is the border of Gaochang Kingdom. Without asking, he knew that it was General Mo Lun who came with his people. During the battle just now, I don’t see you coming out. Now you have to come out after the fight. Regardless of whether you are really on good terms with Datang or not, based on this alone, you will not be able to become relatives with us in the future. At most, you will be a collaborator.

"After this battle, I believe they will understand what choice to make. If I guess correctly, there is probably news about the envoy."

Mr. Zhao said with a smile, Gaochang State gave Xue Yantuo such an opportunity, and then put the envoys of the Tang Dynasty outside the country. Now this opportunity has been given to you, but you have not been able to grasp it. Your army is not As for their opponents, we have already done our utmost to be benevolent and righteous, and we can no longer stop the Angels of the Tang Dynasty.

Sure enough, it was pretty much what Mr. Zhao thought. After General Molun came, he first scolded the bandits in the Gobi Desert. Su Dingfang stood beside him with a smile and did not answer. Everyone knew that these were not bandits from the Gobi Desert. You If you are willing to act, then act, but don't expect me to act with you.

Then General Molun took out another letter. They were very careful in forging it. This letter was written a few days ago. If it was written temporarily, the ink on it may not dry. This was sent from the previous station. Yes, it is said that their envoy has already set off and will arrive at the border area soon. Let the people on our side be restless and we can meet in the next two days...
