Chapter 668 The Unsung Hero
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, who had been prepared for a long time, heard the signal and rushed out with [-] cavalry.
"kill."
Cheng Chumo brandished the spear and chopped off a western Turkic cavalryman.
Yuchi Baolin was also unambiguous, taking away lives with the spear in his hand.
Except for Xue Rengui who used a halberd and Cheng Chumo who used a horse, Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaidao both used guns.
In the novel, Cheng Yaojin used an axe, while Qin Qiong used a pair of gold-plated cooked double copper maces.
In fact, Cheng Yaojin used a horse lance, while Qin Qiong used a gun.
Most of the ancient generals used long weapons. After all, the generals rode on horses. If the weapons were short, no one could hit them.
During this period of time, Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaidao often asked Lin Xuan for advice on marksmanship, and their martial arts improved a bit.
Especially Yuchi Baolin, his father didn't use a gun, and felt that it would be embarrassing for his son to go to others to learn martial arts, so he taught himself.
Although martial arts have a lot in common, there are still big differences between different weapons.
Yuchi Baolin was taught by Lin Xuan's system, and this period of time can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
The Western Turkic pursuers were caught off guard by the Tang army who suddenly rushed out, causing countless casualties.
But after all, they are nomadic clans. After years of fighting, their desire to fight is still very strong, and they soon stabilized.
However, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were superior to the opponent in terms of weaponry and elite level, and they waited for work with leisure, so the counterattack of the Western Turks did not bring many casualties to Cheng Chumo and the others.
Lin Xuan has been paying attention to the battlefield, and when he saw that Xue Yantuo had evacuated, he quickly asked Liu Da to release the signal.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were a little unsure, but they didn't dare to disobey the order. After killing the Western Turkic soldiers and horses, they quickly led the troops to retreat.
The Western Turkic people are naturally unwilling, but they first fought with Xue Yantuo for nearly half a day, and then fought with the soldiers of Datang. .
When Nishu learned that Datang's cavalry had suddenly joined the battlefield and failed to bite Xue Yantuo, his face was flushed, and he was so depressed that he vomited blood from anger.
"Khan!" Qilaobateer was startled, and quickly supported Nishu.
Nishu looked at Qilao Battelle with cannibalistic eyes, as if asking, is this what you said that the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are only here for show and will not interfere?
However, Nishu has been ill for a long time, and has been relying on the obsession to dominate the grassland to stay strong. Now he was vomiting blood from anger, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He just retreated and passed out.
Qilaobatar notified the troops to retreat, and at the same time, he and Nishu's guards escorted Nishu back to the camp.
Lin Xuan didn't know that Nishu had already fainted from vomiting blood. Seeing that the Western Turks did not continue to pursue, although he was a little puzzled, he also thought that the Western Turks were exhausted and unable to pursue them. He took Xue Rengui and others back to Cheng Chumo and returned to Xue Yantuo's royal city.
Yi Nan personally greeted Lin Xuan at the gate of the city. Seeing Lin Xuan's arrival, he quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your assistance, Chief Manager."
Lin Xuan said with a sad face: "I don't need to say polite words, I just hope that Da Khan will not forget what he promised me."
1 people blocked the pursuit of tens of thousands of soldiers. Although the battle did not last long, they still lost a lot.
After counting, only more than 8000 people came back, and the rest were naturally killed in battle. Even if there were any survivors, they would not come back.
Most importantly, those who died in battle didn't even have corpses.
The Han people pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. When the Central Plains Dynasty fought wars, they would send troops to each other to collect the corpses of their soldiers when the war ceased. Both sides tacitly agreed not to attack.
Firstly, the dead are the most important, even if those in power don't care about the lives of those soldiers, they still have to put on a show.
The second is that they are afraid that the corpse will rot and cause the plague.
But in the grassland, there is not so much attention, and it is impossible for the Western Turks to let him send someone to collect the corpses.
More than 1000 people were buried in the grassland like this, Lin Xuan felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't have the heart to be polite to Yi Nan.
Facing Lin Xuan's unkind words, a trace of anger flashed across Yi Nan's face, but now he still had to rely on Datang, so he could only hold back his anger and said, "Don't worry, the chief executive, the five thousand horses that he promised to give to the chief executive will last at most tomorrow." It will be sent to the barracks of the Grand Master."
"In this case, I will take the army back to the camp to rest." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he rode his horse directly into the city.
Cheng Chumo and others didn't even look at Yi Nan, and followed Lin Xuan into the city.
Yi Nan's nose is crooked. Is this Xue Yantuo's royal court or Datang's city?
Lin Xuan returned to the barracks and asked the military doctor to treat the injured soldiers.
When he came, he asked some people from Sun Simiao.
These people may not have good medical skills, but they can still deal with trauma.
Lin Xuan also taught them that the gauze wrapped in boiled water needs to be boiled and dried before use, and the wound needs to be washed with spirits before the medicine can be applied.
Not long after, there were screams in the barracks.
Lin Xuan was already in pain, but hearing these screams made him feel even more sad.
Telling Cheng Chumo and the others to reward the soldiers well, they returned to the camp, and ordered Liu Da not to be disturbed by anyone, and Lin Xuan entered the camp alone.
Today he watched the whole battle between Western Turks and Xue Yantuo. Although it was very bloody and made him uncomfortable, he didn't feel sad.
It stands to reason that Lin Xuan came from later generations. From the perspective of later generations, no matter if they are Han or Turkic, they are all Chinese people.
But knowing what the Turkic people did to the Han people, Lin Xuan really couldn't regard them as the same nation.
The damage that the Turks did to the Han people was no worse than that done by the little devils of later generations.
Rape, looting, and massacres are commonplace.
How long has it been since the little devils invaded?
However, the harm of foreign races to the people of the Han family has continued for thousands of years.
Lin Xuan didn't know the names of the more than 1000 people who died in the battle today. He might have seen some of them but didn't remember them, but that didn't prevent Lin Xuan from feeling sad for their deaths.
Civil servants and military generals, whether they are loyal or traitorous, can leave their names in history, and even as long as it is not a time of war, most county magistrates can find their names in later generations, but who knows the names of ordinary soldiers?
They are very simple and have no lofty ideals. Defending the country is a little far away from them. They just want to fill their stomachs.
Yet they spend their lives, sitting on extraordinary things.
Datang's stability is due to them, but no one remembers them.
……
Tong Eshe heard the horn sound of withdrawing troops, although he was very puzzled, he had to withdraw his troops.
When he returned with his troops, he was told that Nishu had already returned to the camp.
Tong E set his brows slightly frowned, even if he wanted to withdraw his troops, he should wait for the tribal leaders to return and go back together, why did Nishu go back by himself?
At this moment, a confidant of Tong'e set up stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Boss, I heard that he passed out due to sweating profusely and vomited blood."
Tong'e shrank her pupils: "What you said is true?"
"A lot of people have seen it, but they don't know exactly what it is." The confidant said.
Tong Eshe showed a hint of joy, as the saying goes, there are no waves without wind, and he had noticed that there was something wrong with Nishu's body before, and now it seems that Nishu should not be able to hold on.
