Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, who had been prepared for a long time, heard the signal and rushed out with 10,000 cavalry.
"kill."
Cheng Chumo waved the horse's spear and knocked off a Western Turkic cavalryman.
Yuchi Baolin was also unequivocal, taking away lives one after another with the spear in his hand.
Except for Xue Rengui who used a halberd and Cheng Chumo who used a horse spear, 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 gun, while Qin Qiong used a gun.
Most of the ancient generals used long weapons. After all, the generals were riding on horses. If the weapons were short, they would not be able to hit them.
During this period, Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaidao often asked Lin Xuan for advice on marksmanship, and their martial arts improved a lot.
Especially Yuchi Baolin. His father didn't use guns, and he thought it would be embarrassing for his son to learn martial arts from others, so he taught him himself.
Although martial arts have many things in common, different weapons are still very different.
Yuchi Baolin received systematic instruction from Lin Xuan, and this period of time can be described as rapid progress.
The pursuers of the Western Turks were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Tang army, resulting in numerous casualties.
But after all, they are a nomadic tribe. After years of fighting, their desire to fight is still very strong, and they quickly stabilized.
However, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were superior to their opponents in terms of weapons and equipment and elite level. In addition, they were waiting for work, so the Western Turks' counterattack did not cause many casualties to Cheng Chumo and others.
Lin Xuan had been paying attention to the battlefield. When he saw that Xue Yantuo had evacuated, he quickly asked Liu Da to release the signal.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were somewhat unsatisfied, but they did not dare to disobey the order. After killing the Western Turks' soldiers and horses, they quickly led their troops to retreat.
The people of the Western Turks were naturally unwilling, but they fought with Xue Yantuo for nearly half a day, and then with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. The physical strength of the war horses was almost exhausted, and they could not catch up. They could only watch Cheng Chumo and others chase further and further.
.
Nishu learned that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty suddenly joined the battlefield and failed to bite Xue Yantuo. His face flushed, and he was so depressed that he vomited blood.
"Sweat!" Qilaobaat'er was startled and quickly supported Nishu.
Nishu looked at Qilao Baat'er with a cannibalistic look, as if asking, are you saying that the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are just here for show and will not interfere?
However, Nishu had been ill for a long time, and he had been relying on his obsession to unify the grassland to survive. Now he was so angry that he vomited blood and finally couldn't stand it any longer. He just retreated and fainted.
While Qilaobaat'er notified the troops to retreat, he and Nishu's guards protected Nishu and retreated to the camp.
Lin Xuan didn't know that Nishu had fainted due to vomiting blood. Seeing that the Western Turks did not continue to pursue, although he was a little confused, he thought that the Western Turks were too tired to pursue, so he took Xue Rengui and others back to Cheng Chumo and returned to Xueyantuo King City.
Yi Nan personally greeted Lin Xuan at the city gate. When he saw Lin Xuan arriving, he quickly expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Chief Manager, for your assistance."
Lin Xuan said with a sad face: "There is no need to say any polite words. I just hope that the Khan will not forget what he promised me."
Ten thousand people blocked the pursuing troops of tens of thousands. Although the battle did not last long, they still suffered a lot of losses.
After counting, only more than 8,000 people came back. The rest were naturally killed in the battle. Even if there were some who survived, they could not come back.
The most important thing is that there are no corpses of those who died in the battle.
The Han people are very particular about returning fallen leaves to their roots. When the Central Plains dynasties were fighting wars, they would send troops to each other to collect the corpses of their own soldiers. Both sides had a tacit understanding not to attack.
Since the dead are the most important, even if those in power don't care about the lives of those soldiers, they still have to show off.
Secondly, they were afraid that the corpses would rot and cause a plague.
But there is not so much care in the grassland, and it is impossible for the Western Turks to ask him to send people to collect the corpses.
More than a thousand people were buried in the grassland like this. Lin Xuan felt very sad and had no intention of being polite to the Yi man.
Faced with Lin Xuan's rude 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, Chief Executive, the five thousand horses promised to the Chief Executive will be available until tomorrow at most."
It will be sent to the military camp of the Grand Controller."
"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 followed Lin Xuan into the city without even looking at Yi Nan.
Yi Nan's nose was so angry that he was so angry. Is this his Xue Yantuo's royal court or the city of the Tang Dynasty?
Lin Xuan returned to the military camp and asked military doctors to treat the injured soldiers.
When he came, he asked some people from Sun Simiao.
These people may not have great medical skills, but they can still deal with trauma.
Lin Xuan had previously taught them that the gauze for wrapping needs to be boiled in boiling water and dried before use, and the wound needs to be cleaned with strong alcohol before medicine can be applied.
Not long after, screams rang out from the military camp.
Lin Xuan was already feeling uncomfortable, but hearing these screams made him feel even more sad.
After telling Cheng Chumo and the others to reward the soldiers well, they returned to the camp and ordered Liu Da not to allow anyone to disturb him. Lin Xuan entered the camp alone.
Today he watched the whole war between Western Turks and Xue Yantuo. Although it was very bloody and made him very uncomfortable, he did not feel sad.
It stands to reason that Lin Xuan traveled through time from later generations. From the perspective of later generations, both Han and Turkic people are all Chinese people.
But after knowing what the Turks did to the Han people, Lin Xuan couldn't regard them as the same ethnic group.
The harm caused by the Turks to the Han people was no worse than the evil done by the little devils of later generations.
Treachery, robbery, and massacres were commonplace.
How many years ago did the Japs invade?
However, the harm caused by alien races to the Han people lasted for thousands of years.
Lin Xuan didn't know the names of more than a thousand people who died in the battle today. He might have seen some of them but didn't remember them, but that didn't stop Lin Xuan from feeling sad for their deaths.
Most civil servants and generals, whether loyal or treacherous, can leave their names in history. As long as there is no 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 their country is far away from them. They just want to fill their stomachs.
However, they used their lives to do extraordinary things.
They contributed to the stability of the Tang Dynasty, but no one remembers them.
…
Tong'eshe heard the trumpet sound to withdraw his troops. Although he was very confused, he had to withdraw his troops.
When he returned with his troops, he was told that Nishu had gone back to the camp.
Tong'eshe frowned slightly, even if they wanted to withdraw their troops, they should wait for the tribal leaders to return and go back together. Why did Nishu go back by himself?
At this moment, one of Tong'eshe's confidants came forward and whispered: "Chief, I heard that he fainted from sweating and vomiting blood."
Tong'eshe's pupils shrank: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Many people have seen it, but we don't know exactly what happened." said a confidant.
Tong'eshe showed a hint of joy. As the saying goes, there is no storm without fire. In addition, he had noticed something wrong with Nishuo's health before. Now it seems that Nishuo may not be able to hold on.
