"It turns out it's a wooden raft, not a retaining wall." Seeing the logs tied together and being pushed into the water one by one, Li Siye didn't understand at this time. Teams of soldiers stepped onto the wooden rafts one after another with smiles. In the platoon, they only wore leather armor, or even no armor at all. They only wore a wooden shield as armor and began to march in line. From time to time, people fell into the water, but both the people who fell into the water and the companions who pulled them up were laughing, and almost no one was worried about it. Because they all understand that compared to them, those enemies are truly miserable. At this time, the sky is getting brighter, and at dawn, the shadows of the mountains in the distance can be seen. Looking west from the head of the city of Shuijian, what was once a flat land is now filled with water. The shallowest places are no more than ankle deep, while the deepest places are more than one person deep. There are many scattered people standing on hills, boulders or scattered trees surrounded by water. Their eyes are dull, their expressions are dazed, and they have no sense of resistance at all. In fact, due to the lack of water, the power of this water attack was not too great. However, the Great Cannibals, the Tocharians, and the people from all the river countries rarely experienced this kind of thing, and were completely unprepared, so the losses were huge. Countless people drowned and were washed away. The survivors were also surrounded by water, trapped in small places, or climbed up the mountain by luck, but did not carry any supplies. Li Siye also stepped onto a raft. He saw his fellow clan member Li Sheng from the Tianwei Army jumping onto another raft. Ye Chang's right-hand men, Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er, are not here. That's because they led their troops out of the city last night and marched to Baishi Ridge from the left and right along the high road to defeat the remaining enemy resistance as much as possible. The wooden raft was pushed away from the shore. Looking back at Shuijiancheng behind him, Li Siye was filled with awe. Before, he took refuge in Ye Chang, partly because of the situation and partly because he wanted to atone for his sins, but now, he is truly convinced. The Great Cannibal Army Formation may be stronger than the Liuhua Formation of the Tang Dynasty, but what's the use? A water attack will completely destroy the Great Cannibal Army Formation. Although there will still be battles now, it is basically the Tang army that will pick the fruits of victory. ¡°Here¡¯s one,¡± he was thinking, when he heard someone shouting from the raft. But it was an enemy soldier, holding a piece of driftwood and panting. Li Siye glanced at this guy and said with a smile: "Do you have enough rope? If you have enough, just tie it up." They were almost tied up along the way, as long as there was someone The enemy soldiers who had a bad tone had their hands tied behind their backs with ropes and thrown on the rafts. "Help, help" Wherever they go, there hasn't been a battle until now. The enemy soldiers who are trapped on boulders, trees or high on hills will feel like they are seeing their relatives when they see them. If they don't go over If they were tied up and taken away, the enemy soldiers would cry bitterly. "This is a great victory I used to fight with Dr. Gao, and that's not a great victory. In one battle, I killed 10,000 enemies and lost 8,000" One of Li Siye's confidants couldn't help but muttered. "It's not like that. Gao Xianzhi only knows how to kill people, but he is pretty good. I heard Tianwei Jian'er said that Ge Shuhan was more ruthless. They attacked Shibao City. Ye Zhongcheng and Wang Zhongsi both opposed the attack. Ge Shuhan did it for To please the emperor, they attacked the city by force. Eighty thousand people attacked the city. In the end, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers left, and less than a thousand dog soldiers were captured. ""These dog officers don't regard us soldiers as human beings Mr. Li , I¡¯m not talking about you, you and Ye Zhongcheng treat us as brothers and sisters, different from them.¡± These soldiers whispered and compared the commander, but Li Siye could only smile bitterly: How can Gao Xianzhi defeat Ye Chang, but he can¡¯t win over Ye Chang for money. Chang, he can't defeat Ye Chang in a war, and he can't even buy Ye Chang's hearts. However, his heart gradually became a little more eager. It seemed that Ye Chang hadn't given him a good look yet, but he vaguely felt that this was not discrimination by Ye Chang. He, but has higher expectations for him. Duan Xiushi is now by Ye Chang's side. In his words, he also said that in order to appease the man named Bukhan, the only way is to treat him coldly for a period of time so that he can do his work in peace. The friendly forces are talking about something. "Li Gong, I think there is no point in catching these small soldiers. We can't catch 100,000 people in a few days. We have to catch big fish." A close confidant beside him said, and everyone's attention also turned back. Indeed, This water attack was a great victory, and the water level has not receded until now. There are too many prisoners and they cannot be captured at all. So the key now is to catch the big shot, and even find a way to catch Ziad. Li Siye's heart suddenly changed from eager to fiery. It was indeed true. What's the point of catching these small prisoners now? If you want to catch them, catch the big ones. "Throw those who slow down the journey into the water." He is not a soft-hearted person. At this moment He ordered: "Let's catch the big fish." All the sergeants cheered. Those prisoners who were tied to the rafts, some of whom could understand Chinese, were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy. Li Siye was unmoved, and his cronies were also ruthless, so they wanted to throw the prisoners into the water. "Spare your life, I am useful, I am useful, I know where Ziad and the others are, and I am willing to lead the way." After throwing two into the water, the third prisoner suddenly shouted, and the soldier who went to catch him stopped and looked. Li Siye glanced at him and said with a ferocious smile: "Okay, take him with you. If he is a liar, I will definitely make his life worse than death." The prisoner was pulled up, and he was frightened when he saw the rest of his companions being thrown into the water. , determined the direction, pointed to the northwest and said: "I was originally a follower of Prince Yuan'en, and I was washed here by the water I remember that the main tent of Ziyad's army is in that direction." "Okay, row over there. , called the other brothers not to fall behind, there must be some bodyguards around Ziyad." They held more than thirty simple wooden platoons and headed northwest. At first, they were the only team, but gradually, the other teams also realized that there was no point in catching the small soldiers everywhere, and they had to catch the big ones, so they rowed deeper into the water. On the top of the city, Ye Chang couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene. Although it was a good thing for the generals to compete for credit, they couldn't let it go so easily. "King Dou, please lead your people out and capture more prisoners." Dou Zhongjie, who was next to him, took a step back, and then saluted very solemnly: "Follow the order." It can be said that Dou Zhongjie was completely impressed by all his admiration. Integrated into the long salute of the Han people. Dou Zhongjie was originally inclined to the Tang Dynasty, but that was more because of the benefits of having good relations with the Tang Dynasty. But now it is different. His awe for the Tang Dynasty has reached reached a peak. He secretly marveled in his heart that only the Tang Dynasty could have such a figure as Ye Chang. I must be loyal to the Tang Dynasty throughout my life, and I will never be half-hearted again. Since then, Bahan has become a loyal vassal in China, and some people even called it "Batie". Later, because of the similar pronunciation, it became "Batie". This is a story for later. Not to mention. After Dou Zhongjie left, Duan Xiushi came up and whispered: "How much does Ye Zhongcheng attach great importance to this country?" "Who doesn't value Dawan's famous horses? An important income for our Anxi Chamber of Commerce in the future will be from this horse." With the opening of tracks in the Central Plains, there is an increasing desire for good horses. Now the price of a good horse in the Central Plains has increased by nearly 50% compared to three years ago. When the tracks to the south are opened, the price will rise by one percent. It is twice as likely that not only this, we need large livestock in the fields, we need large livestock in the workshop Even if we eat meat, we also need large livestock. " Hearing what he said, Duan Xiushi nodded, but with a somewhat hesitant expression. Ye Chang glanced at him: "If you have anything to say, just say it, Mr. Cheng. I don't like hiding it the most. " "Gao Xianzhi, how do Zhongcheng want to deal with it? " Duan Xiushi asked in a low voice. He already knew that all the cronies around Gao Xianzhi were killed, so he wanted to know what Ye Chang would do with Gao Xianzhi. "Of course he will be sent back to Chang'an. Although it will be troublesome to keep him, he will be killed. He is in even greater trouble. I am afraid that the court will not tolerate me for a moment and will immediately summon me back to question me. But since you mentioned him, go to his place and take him to the top of the city. Didn't he say that I am not Ziad's opponent? Let him go to the city to see how I defeated Ziad. " Duan Xiushi followed his words and left. Ye Chang looked at the distant western sky and smiled slowly. After the war, he can return to Chang'an to report on his duties and offer prisoners. He should be able to stay in Chang'an for a longer time. His thoughts drifted to Chang'an. As his enemy, Ziad is not so relaxed. Now Ziad has woken up from his state of despair. He knows very well that he has completely lost this battle and there is no chance of recovery. , even returning to Talas, he had no chance. After struggling for a long time, there were only less than 3,000 people gathered around him, of which the real food soldiers were less than 1,000. Not only were they short of food and clothing, but they were also short of weapons. "Let's go." Looking at Shujian City from a distance, Ziad ordered, "Let's go?" Where else can we go? Where else can we go? "King Qu Dibo of Anguo also fled to him. Hearing these words, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. "He is used to following the wind. In this battle between Tang and Shi, he feels that Dashi has a higher chance of winning. , so they brought more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to support, which was almost their entire Anguo force. Now, 20,000 soldiers and horses have entered Yu Zeguo. Although it is impossible for them all to drown, they are already scattered beyond control. If the troops cannot be gathered, I am afraid that not many of the more than 20,000 people will be able to escape back to Anguo. They, the kings of the river countries, are kings in name. In fact, as long as their own tribal power Lin Li loses their strength, they will soon be defeated. "Idiot, why don't you leave here and wait for the Tang army to capture the prisoners? "Ziyad angrily hit Qu Dibo on the back with a whip: "I have long wanted to hang you, a heretic, so why don't you get up soon?" ?Although Deborah was as obedient as a dog to Dashi, he was still the master of a country. He had never experienced such humiliation. He looked up at Ziad, but was frightened by Ziad's eyes. Those eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and the tangled bloodshot eyes simply turned into two flames, burning fiercely in Ziad's eyes. "This is not the punishment of the true god, but the trick of the Tang people. All this water was attracted by the Tang people." "Ziyad said sternly: "Since they can divert water, they must have prepared ships. The water cannot hold them back for too long. We must leave as soon as possible Except for weapons and necessary food, don't bring anything with you. Any injured animals should be taken away. I gave up. Those supplies that cannot be taken away are all thrown into the water. Don't let the Tang people take it easy" He shouted while walking past Qu Bodi, the whip buzzing in his hand, and he would grab one from time to time. Two blind people twitched. Soon, no one dared to lie on the ground around Ziad. "Everyone is looking for their own commanders and prepare to retreat." Ziad grabbed a few more people: "You, I am now appointing you as centurions to gather those who do not have commanders. Hurry up immediately." In Ziad's roar, This defeated army, which had become discouraged and had no intention of surviving, miraculously regrouped. Although they were unable to change the outcome of this battle, they could at least escape in an organized manner instead of disintegrating blindly. "Has anyone seen Dou Xuena? Who has seen Dou Xuena?" Seeing that the team had been organized, Ziad was about to give the order to leave, but suddenly remembered someone and shouted loudly. By this time, although Ziyad was belatedly aware of it, he also knew that Bukhan did not really surrender. If Bukhan really surrendered, why didn't he send someone to inform him of such a major conspiracy? Therefore, Ziad made up his mind to kill Dou Xuena to get rid of this bad breath. But after he called out a few words, no one saw Dou Xuena. "This bastard escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, but he can't escape. The true God will punish him and turn his country into a red land." Ziad cursed through gritted teeth, and then waved his hand: "Let's go." The road is now full of water, they can't It is possible to go back by the original route, but only along the waterside and over the mountains. Needless to say, it was difficult along the way, but by gathering troops along the way and rescuing those who were trapped, he gathered nearly a thousand people, so that he had another five thousand troops, but the number of big cannibals among them was still limited. This situation made Ziad very heartbroken. These river people and Tocharians were of no use even if they were 12,000. He would rather trade them for a thousand soldiers of the Food Army. The further they trudged, the lower their morale became. When they had gone more than twenty miles - in fact, they had not gone very far at all because the detour was too far - at this time, they heard shouts from behind. Ziad looked back, and there were about four hundred people over there. Judging from the costumes, they were the Great Cannibals. They were arrayed on a hill surrounded by water. In front of them, thousands of Tang troops were marching toward them. These hundreds of people charged. Seeing this scene, Ziad's eyes were filled with tears. He shouted sternly: "Let's go and help." Following his voice, the soldiers from the river countries rushed up first, but the direction they rushed towards was not that battlefield. , but there is no enemy to the west. They ran away.
