Qin Mo and Li Yue were left in the city, and Li Cungong refused to allow them to leave the city.

All they knew was that this would be a particularly difficult battle.

There are too few local horses, only 10,000, and it is difficult for horses from the inland to run long distances.

Qin Mo took a deep breath, hoping that the grenade could play a decisive role.

More than 30,000 people were guarding the city and were ready to fight.

Almost every half an hour, a scout came to report the situation.

The second hour, the two armies finally fought.

The scout knelt on one knee on the ground, telling the tragic battle.

Qinling Zanzhuo collides with more than 5,000 people from Nine Curves and collides with the large army.

Zhang Xi took the lead in charge, but facing the opponent's 30,000 cavalry, he really had the will but lacked strength.

Moreover, the other party also brought civilians. When ordinary soldiers knew about it, they could not kill them, which led to the disadvantage at the beginning of the battle.

Dou Yiai and others fought and relied on grenades to regain the situation. The two sides fought hard, and the plains of fighting almost became a meat grinding field.

The Mo Dao soldiers cut and slashed the cavalry, and cut them into two pieces, along with horses, Tubo soldiers, and the civilians behind them.

After half an hour of fighting, almost half of the people were killed. The Thunder Army rushed into the enemy with explosive bags, and defeated the Tubo offensive in a way that exchanged life for life.

Later, Qi Sheng and his men arrived and sneaked into the rear of Tubo, and Tubo was in a state of defeat.

Another half an hour later, the scout came to report that Qi Sheng died in battle, killed more than 8,000 Tubo cavalry, captured 6,000 people, and ten thousand war horses. Only less than 1,000 people survived.

The Qian army lost nearly half of it.

The Modao team suffered 2,000 casualties and 1,400 deaths.

The Thunder Army suffered 1,400 casualties and 500 deaths.

Cavalry casualties were 5,000 and 4,600 died.

There are only more than half of the 15,000 people who survived.

But this was still a victory. In this battle, plus the battle in Xining, more than 10,000 Tubo cavalry were killed and 10,000 local war horses were seized at the same time.

But no one was happy.

Because Qi Sheng died in battle, he was the highest commander of this death. Even if he was a princeling, in Qin Mo's eyes, no matter who he stood, he was his own.

Another hour, the large army returned, the captives were tied up, and the remaining people were sitting on horseback.

Everyone was covered in blood, but the blood had already condensed, and the bloody smell of soaring into the sky emanated from their bodies.

They obviously won the battle, but no one laughed.

Li Cungong greeted him. He saw Qi Sheng's body, his body was covered with arrows, his head was cut off, and he had one ear missing.

This is the way the Tubo people conceived their merits.

"General Qi died for his country, and the celebrities will be famous for eternity!"

Li Cungong bowed to the end.

Crazy, the other soldiers knelt down on one knee, "General Qi, forever!"

Even Li Yue knelt on one knee, not for anything else, just because Qi Sheng sacrificed his life for the country.

The bodies of those soldiers were also brought back, and some of them had not even their bodies and were directly stepped into meat paste.

Zhang Xi bowed and said, "Marcedes-Master, the last one will fulfill his mission!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Cungong cheered up, "Erlang, thank you for your hard work. I have prepared good wine and good food tonight, I will allow you to get drunk!"

After the war, they need to give them a vent to vent their inner pain.

The bodies of those soldiers were buried nearby.

Let them stay here forever!

"I'm sorry, my sons, I can't bring you home safely!" Li Cungong poured three glasses of water and wine in a row, "You are here to guard the country. Your wife, children, and you will definitely do your best to take good care of you."

The wind whimpered.

The soldiers who were originally together day and night suddenly disappeared. Although they saw too much separation, people are emotional animals after all.

Dou Yiai and others cried so hard that they beat their chests and stamped their feet in blaming themselves.

Qin Mo said: "Don't cry, the blood debt will be paid for in blood after all."

All anxiety comes from insufficient firepower.

If they brought hundreds of thunder cannons this time, if they brought a large number of grenades, they could break through the Sun and Moon Mountain Pass by fierce attacks.

Qin Mo took a deep breath and looked at the tombstone of more than 6,000 people in front of him. He won, but he had not yet captured the Sun and Moon Mountain Pass, so he was far from winning.

As for the six thousand Tubo prisoners, there were also Dayu, three Dai versions, six deputy Dai versions, and more than two thousand six hundred Gui soldiers.

I got a lot of useful information, such as the detailed city defense structure in Riyueshan Pass, as well as the number of people from Jiuqu, and there were more than 20,000 people.

Someone proposed a replacement, but was rejected by Qin Mo. "Qin Ling Zanzhuo is just to delay us. Is the 20,000 people the final number? It is not necessarily that we have been here for a month. So far, we have fought two battles, losing nearly 6,000 people.

Although the losses in Tubo were more than twice that of ours, the Sun and Moon Mountain Pass was still not conquered.

So don't change people anymore, put the vitality back, keep them, let Qinling Zanzhuo play the mouse and be afraid of weapons, and wait for the opportunity to attack Sun and Moon Mountain Pass."

Gongsun Wuji said: "What are you good ways? As you said, they are dragging us down, and there will never be any solution until they break through the Sun and Moon Mountain Pass!"

Zhang Xidao: "Marson, the last general is willing to lead people to attack!"

"I will discuss this matter again, so I will rest for a few days first!" Li Cungong said, forcibly killing these people of Jiuqu, the morale within the team was low. Qin Mo privately suggested that he should not cover up, but spread the matter out.

Explain the key points of interests and let everyone understand why this is better than hiding it like this!

Gongsun Wuji looked at Li Cungong, Qin Mo and others, and always felt that they were planning something big, but they didn't know.

I want to explore it, but it is difficult to know.

That night, Li Cungong summoned everyone in the city, and the torches illuminated the night sky.

Qin Mo wrote a manuscript for him, which he had memorized.

The more than 80,000 soldiers and civilians were watching Li Cungong who was temporarily building a station.

Li Cungong was holding a loudspeaker in his hand, and the first thing he said was, "Everyone, I, Li Cungong, are a sinner!"

Everyone was stupid.

I heard Li Cungong say, "In the battle two days ago, I ordered my way out to fight, and the innocent Jiuqu survivors died there.

I am guilty and I will not justify myself, but I hope you understand why I did this. Qinling Zanzhuo took away the heroes of the remnants. At that time, no one of the people in the Nine Curves could survive.

Not only that, we will also return in a great defeat and retreat to Xining City. At that time, we would have no power to fight against Qinling Zanzhuo.

I must be responsible for the situation of the war, for the lives of the soldiers, and for the more than 10,000 people in Shangcheng County.

The duty of a soldier is to defend his country, to protect the people, and to me, Li Cungong, did not do it well!"

Plop!

Li Cungong knelt down directly, "I, Li Cungong, took all the blame!"
Chapter completed!
