Chapter 851: Slaughtering the 20,000 Thief Eaters!
Chapter 851 Slaughter the 20,000 thieves army!
"Have you found out whether the great thief army that robbed my Datang caravan is among them?"
This time, 20,000 Tang royal troops marched thousands of miles all the way with the slogan of revenge for the Tang caravan.
Therefore, at night, after clearing Tocharo City, Li Ji sat in the commander's tent, waiting for Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi to interrogate the captured thieves.
"Reporting to the General Manager, the big thief army that robbed my Datang caravan was the work of the two big thief armies outside!"
Li Chongyi handed over his hand to report.
"Huh, no matter which big thief army it is, they can't escape!" Li Ji coldly snorted.
Cheng Chusi rolled his eyes, remembered something, and continued: "General Manager, there is one more thing. During my interrogation, those big thieves will keep shouting that they are the Arab Empire, not a big food country!
Could it be that I have found the wrong person?"
"Whatever the Arab Empire, let's call it the Great Food Country, they are the Great Food Country..."
Li Ji glanced at Cheng Chusi and said softly.
"Yes, General Manager, they are the Big Food Country. If they dare to talk about the Arab Empire again, I will bring people to beat them and help them correct themselves!" Cheng Chusi smiled and said with a fierce look.
"..."
Perhaps they were severely beaten by the Tang Dynasty army, but for several days, the 6,000 Da Shi soldiers were very honest.
Fortunately, the food and property plundered by these food warriors from surrounding merchants and small countries were all piled up in Tocharo City, allowing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to raise these surrendered soldiers without any pressure.
Until five days later.
Li Ji finally waited for the two large thieves who went out to plunder.
The sun sets in the west and the twilight becomes darker.
Twenty thousand cavalrymen, like two torrents, escorted an endless convoy, coming from a distance, gradually blending into a long dragon, moving quickly towards Tochara City.
"General Manager, these small countries are really rich!"
On the wall of Tocharo City, the news had already been received. Li Ji, Cheng Chusi and others looked at it with clairvoyance for a long time. The generals of the Tang Dynasty who had seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but be a little jealous of the motorcade in the distance. .
"Finally, when the 20,000 thieves arrived, I ordered the entire army to be on alert!"
Li Ji's face was solemn, "Especially watch out for the six thousand thieves in the city, be careful of them causing trouble in the city!"
"Don't worry, General Manager. I have already led the brothers from the bomb battalion to place bombs around those big food soldiers. If they dare to be dishonest, I will blow them to pieces!"
Cheng Chusi said with a sneer.
On the side, Li Chongyi also said: "Don't worry, Chief Manager, I will also send more than a hundred brothers from the Arrow Battalion around them. As long as they dare to be dishonest, they will be blown up in an instant!"
"Very good!"
Li Ji nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he looked down with a solemn expression.
Watching the unsuspecting march of the 20,000 thieves below, he felt that the 20,000 thieves below seemed unaware of the changes in Tochara City.
However, it was already dark, and Li Ji did not want to send troops out hastily.
So he took Cheng Chusi and others to wait for work on the city wall.
Anyway, they had already captured the city of Tochara, and they stayed in the city at night without any fear of being attacked.
''General Manager, those big thieves seem to have discovered the changes in Tocharo City!''
Xue Wanche said in a deep voice.
Li Ji was pulled back from his thoughts and looked directly below.
Sure enough, the Great Thief Army, which was still marching very loosely at first, has begun to gather its troops and form a formation.
At the same time, groups of scouts dispersed.
There was an aura of tension throughout the entire army of thieves.
After a while.
Two groups of cavalry came to Tochara City.
One of them shouted directly at the city.
"Reporting to the Chief Superintendent, these two large armies of thieves asked us who we are and where is the large army of thieves they had left behind in the city?" the translator accompanying the army reported to Li Ji.
"Tell these thieves that we are the Royal Master of the Tang Dynasty. If these thieves dare to rob our caravans of the Tang Dynasty and massacre our people, we have been ordered to conquer them.
As for the large army of thieves in the city who dared to resist my Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, we have already slaughtered them all."
Li Ji coldly smiled coldly and said, "Tell these thieves to hand over the thieves who robbed our caravan of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, even if we, the Tang Dynasty, chase them to the ends of the earth, we will cut off their heads and give them to those who are in trouble in the Tang Dynasty." The people apologize!"
"Yes, Chief Steward!"
The translator bowed his hands in salute, then picked up the big iron trumpet and began to paraphrase Li Ji's words.
The loud words were transmitted directly from the Tocharian city wall to the bottom of the city wall, and even some large thieves in the distance could hear it.
One by one, the big thieves began to become restless.
"Archers at the ready! Shields at the ready!"
Suddenly, feeling something, Li Ji narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly.
"yes!"
Following Li Ji's military order, thousands of archers suddenly appeared on the city wall.
There were thousands of soldiers holding shields, all of whom were staring down.
Li Ji's guess was correct. After the translator finished speaking, the generals of the thieves under the city were filled with rage.
The shameless troops on the city wall are provoking them!
They plundered all the way from the Great Food Country, conquered countless countries, big and small, and plundered countless caravans.
In their minds, they had never encountered a more powerful country, and they had never seen an army that could compete with them.
And now, they each led an army of ten thousand people, conquered two small countries, and plundered countless properties when they returned.
But he didn't expect that there would be a shameless army, claiming to be the Tang Dynasty army, coming to avenge a mere caravan. Not only did they sneak attack on their city in this land, but they also claimed to have left them behind in Tochara City. Ten thousand troops were slaughtered!
No matter what the Tang army on the city wall said was true or false, they were going to destroy it.
Only in this way can other small countries on this grassland be intimidated.
Thinking of this, the general of the great thief army under the city gave the order directly. Within a moment, a group of cavalry was separated from the 20,000 great thief army and headed towards Tocharo City.
When they were still more than a hundred steps away from Tochara City, these big thieves suddenly took out their bows and arrows from their sides, and aimed at the Tang army on the wall of Tochara City, they fired a burst of rapid fire.
After ejaculation, without even looking at it, he prepared to slap his horse and leave.
However, they did not know that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the city wall were all elite veterans.
Therefore, when they rushed down the city, thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the city wall had already opened their bows and arrows. With the command, a rain of arrows from the sky rained down on them.
However, because they came from the east, under the light of the setting sun, when they looked at the city wall, they directly saw darkness, so they did not see the arrow rain above their heads.
As a result, these big food troops had no idea that when they turned to leave, a rain of arrows had already hit their heads.
"ah……"
With a burst of screams and arrows already stuck in their bodies, these big thieves who had just returned from victory realized that the Tang army on the city wall was so bold that they actually dared to resist them!
The large group of thieves who were just about to show off their power ran away howling.
Five thousand cavalry came out, but when they returned, only half remained.
This was their biggest casualty since they left the empire and entered the grasslands dotted with small countries in the east. It was also the first time that an army dared to fight back against twenty thousand warriors like them.
A group of food generals looked at the city in the distance that was gradually falling into darkness. They gritted their teeth and wished that thunder and fire would rain down from the sky and burn the evil city in front of them to ashes.
Unfortunately, this is the East, not the home of the gods they believe in.
After cursing for a while, the 20,000 thieves retreated with unwillingness on their faces and found a wide place to set up camp.
Prepare to launch another attack after dawn tomorrow, vowing to massacre all the rebels in the city in front of you.
On the wall of Tochara.
Seeing the large army of thieves retreating away, Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi couldn't help but feel eager to give it a try.
"General Manager, as long as the general rushes out with two thousand soldiers from the arrow battalion and drops a round of arrow bombs, the morale of these barbarians will definitely be in chaos!"
"General Manager, we only need to follow the 20,000 bandits. After they set up camp, a round of artillery and arrow bombs will come down, and they will definitely blow up the camp..."
As a member of the Thunder Army, Li Ji naturally knew that Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi's suggestions were very feasible.
However, looking at the night that was getting darker, Li Ji slowly shook his head.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Who knows if these big thieves have sent scouts along the way? We are just here for revenge, there is no need to die in vain in the dark night.
According to the arrogance of these big thieves, they have suffered such a big loss under the city wall today, and they will definitely come back with severe revenge tomorrow. Send the order, all the soldiers will stay at home tonight, to guard against the sneak attacks of these big thieves."
"Yes, Chief Steward!"
"I didn't fire off the cannons just now, just to let these big thieves relax their guard. Tomorrow, they will be wiped out all these big thieves in the city!"
"Yes, Chief Manager..."
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, when the sky had just turned gray, Li Ji, Cheng Chusi and others came to the city wall.
Under the city wall, a large army of thieves was already standing densely packed.
Obviously, these big thieves were so angry that they didn't sleep well all night.
"All arrow bombs, hand-thrown bombs, and artillery are ready. When these big thieves start to attack, destroy them in one fell swoop, and then attack and kill them with the whole army!"
Looking at the group of thieves below, Li Ji said coldly.
Last night, not only did these big thieves not sleep well, they didn't sleep well either.
"Yes, Chief Steward!"
Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others all responded.
Li Ji, Cheng Chusi and others did not wait long. As the horns sounded, a group of thieves below began to attack.
However, what made these big thieves shattered was that even though they had prepared all night, the weapons in the hands of the Tang troops on the city wall were even sharper, and they seemed to be more numerous than them.
When these big thieves rushed under the city wall despite a hail of arrows, they collapsed.
The Tang Dynasty bandits on the city wall could actually summon fire and thunder.
They watched helplessly as the familiar brothers beside them were blown to pieces by the fire and thunder summoned by the Tang troops on the city wall.
"They are devils!"
"They actually have fire and thunder to help them!"
"This is an unknown city, we can't enter it at all..."
With just two rounds of hand-thrown bombs and arrow bombs, Li Ji, Cheng Chusi and others sent down a large number of thieves under the city wall. Their morale was already in disarray, their faces turned pale and they retreated.
More than half of the more than 10,000-strong army had suffered casualties.
The generals of the Great Thieves Army in the rear were stunned when they saw this. After they realized what they were doing, they quickly ordered a retreat.
Suddenly, the entire food army was like an avalanche, and like ants on a hot pot, they began to flee in all directions.
"Leave the city and chase the enemy!"
Seeing this, Li Ji directly ordered the city gate to be opened.
At the gate of the city, 10,000 cavalrymen who had been waiting in full formation rushed out directly.
The elite iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, which had ten thousand men waiting for work and whose morale was greatly boosted, faced the front with only ten thousand men left. They still lacked the courage to do so. They were frightened by the large army of thieves who fled in all directions. It was easy for them.
Not to mention, the riding skills of these big thieves are also very good.
Xue Wanche led 10,000 Tang Dynasty cavalry and chased them for a whole day before killing seven or eight of the defeated bandits in Dashi. Only a few hundred people escaped.
The remaining thieves' army was directly chased by the red-eyed soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, killing them one by one.
After the war, the entire land flowed into rivers of blood, with corpses and broken arms everywhere.
Except for a group of vultures, no living creature dares to approach this land.
Repair overnight.
The next day, Li Ji, Xue Wanche, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others, together with a group of soldiers, began to deal with the entire battlefield.
Of course, the dirtiest and most tiring work was done by the 6,000 Da Shi surrender soldiers who were the first to surrender!
Originally, these big foodies were a little reluctant to surrender their troops.
However, after leaving the city gate and seeing the hell-like battlefield in front of them, the food soldiers began to calm down.
Later, when they kept burying Tongze's body, they felt even more desperate.
The 20,000 Great Food Warriors they had outside were all slaughtered by the 20,000 Tang Dynasty soldiers in front of them.
Yes, massacre!
By watching the battlefield situation, they could analyze that the 20,000 Tang troops faced a naked massacre against their 20,000 Dashi warriors, and their 20,000 warriors showed no sign of fighting back.
What kind of demons are these Tang troops?
Is it really wrong for them to come all the way to this eastern land, plunder caravans, and plunder the property of small countries?
The more he thought about it, the six thousand soldiers who had surrendered could not help but feel a sense of panic, and they did not dare to disobey the orders of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ji, Li Chongyi and others did not pay much attention to the six thousand Dashi troops.
In their minds, these six thousand soldiers were just the labor force of a group of strong men.
As long as you find a trace of dishonesty, you can kill him directly.
It took three days for Li Ji, Xue Wanche and others to compile the captures of this battle into a book.
"General Manager, in this battle, we captured a total of 10,000 war horses, 100 carts of grain, 60 carts of gold, silver and jewelry, 200 beauties from the surrounding small countries, and 20,000 people from the surrounding small countries..."
"So many barbarians?"
Li Ji frowned slightly.
"Back to the Chief Manager, those big thieves also like to use barbarians from the surrounding small countries as soldiers!"
Li Chongyi said with an angry look.
"That's how it is. Go and tell these barbarians that if they continue to escort me, the King of the Tang Dynasty, I will provide them with two meals a day. If they don't want to, let them go!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Ji said again.
…
Happy New Year to all of you, I’m one year older again, oooooooh~~~
