I'm a marquis in Datang

Big defeat!

Custer did not expect such a miserable defeat in this battle.

Waldo also sighed.

He looked at Kasde and said: "City Master, the reason for the defeat in this battle is that I cannot shirk the responsibility. First, it is because I did not expect Xia Guo's army to be so brave; second, because I did not expect it." I realized that Xia Guo's weapons are so cruel. Most of our soldiers died on the battlefield. Thirdly, I didn't expect that Xia Guo's army on the side of Dole's construction this time had an elephant army. The existence of it. So far, it has lost countless damages. It is a crime to be humble, please punish the city lord."

Bale said: "City Master, it's no wonder Mr. Waldo. Speaking of it, the general is also responsible. It was the general's ineffective command that caused the soldiers on the battlefield to fail to go all out and burst out with the strongest strength. Please punish the city master."

Although Kasde looked haggard and even bloodshot in his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "This battle is the responsibility of both of you, but also the responsibility of the city owner. There is no need to apologize. This battle has ended, we all have an inescapable responsibility. We

We lost, but we didn't lose just like that.This battle is not over yet.Although we only have more than 1 elites, we have returned to Braun City, and after recruiting soldiers, we can also fight again. "

Waldo and Baler breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Because Kasde can cheer up, that's the best.Custer is the backbone of everyone, and he must not be left alone.As long as Kasde is not disturbed and shocked, then they will not be affected.

Waldo said: "City Master, we really can only withdraw to Braun City first. When we return to Braun City to mobilize troops and horses, we are ready to go to war with Xia Kingdom. It's just that when Xia Kingdom's weapons fall and explode, there will be countless casualties. , This weapon is shocking."

Custer nodded.

Ba Le said: "Our side is defeated and retreats. City Lord, do you want to notify Datang?"

"No notice!"

Custer snorted and said, "What does Datang have to do with us?"

Tie.Even, it would be even better if Datang also lost.At that time, Du Qi's troops will mainly gather on the border of the Tang Dynasty, so they will not attack us. "

"Not right, not right!"

Waldo shook his head and spoke.

Custer said, "Why not?"

Waldo explained: "City Lord, the strength of Datang's side was originally no match for Xia. If we didn't say hello in advance and make it clear in advance, in case Datang loses again and again, it will be even more difficult to hold back Du Qi. So right now, it is necessary to constrain Du Qi, make Du Qi afraid of Datang, and even prevent Du Qi from conquering Datang. Therefore, we must quickly arrange for someone to send a letter to Li Shimin to let Li Shimin know about our situation, and let Li Shimin transfer Attack for defense, don't rush forward and lose."

Custer pondered for a while, nodded and said: "In that case, Mr. Waldo, please arrange it."

"Yes!"

Waldo responded immediately.

Custer and Waldo rested for half an hour before continuing

Hurry up and go directly to Braun City.They were defeated in this battle, and they were already powerless to fight again, so they could only withdraw first.

Time passes, morning hours.

The sky is bright.

At this time, Dole's construction of the city has returned to calm, and auxiliary soldiers have begun to repair the collapsed towers and gates, but there are already mountains of corpses piled up outside the city.

Corpses piled up one after another.

piled up into mountains.

Ma Yuan stood next to the piled corpses, had someone pour kerosene and spirits on them, and then had someone directly ignite the fire.It is now in June, and the weather is hot. If the corpse is left for a long time, it will easily rot, and many diseases will be born at that time.So the best result is to burn it all with a fire.

After the fire was ignited, the fires quickly flowed together, forming seas of fire one by one.

The intensity of the fire was extremely ferocious.

After the fire ignited, Ma Yuan ordered a few soldiers to watch, then led the army into the city and stationed the soldiers, before Ma Yuan came to the big tent of the army in the barracks.

At this time, both Lai Ji and Yang Yi came.

After the two entered and sat down, Yang Yi couldn't wait to ask: "General Ma, how was the battle yesterday?"

Yesterday's battle must have been a complete victory.It's just that Yang Yi didn't know the specific loss, because Ma Yuan had been arranging for people to collect the corpses and count the losses since last night.

A smile could not be restrained on Ma Yuan's face, and he said: "In the battle yesterday, we captured more than [-] Persian soldiers, and killed as many as [-] soldiers. In this battle, We won a complete victory. Even though too many Persian soldiers escaped, after this battle, there is no longer any threat from the Persian side."

Yang Yi said: "Congratulations to General Ma, you have made a great contribution."

Ma Yuan said: "Congratulations, congratulations."

Laiji said in a deep voice: "General Ma, we have won a big victory now. Next, I will arrange for someone to send it to His Majesty Suzhou in the shortest possible time, and send it to the Imperial Capital City to let the people in the city know the situation." The princes of the court know. But we are here now, but I think that if we are simply satisfied with the current battle situation, it is a bit small."

Ma Yuan said, "Mr. Lai, what do you mean?"

A gleam flashed across Laiji's eyes, and he suddenly said: "It's rude to come and not go. The Persian kingdom invaded our country and invaded our border. If you don't kill it, it will appear that our country is incompetent. So I think that by taking advantage of this time, the city lord of Bolang City in Xia Kingdom has been severely injured, so I will take this opportunity to kill him and seize Braun City."

Ma Yuan's eyes were also full of high-spirited fighting spirit, and he said: "Yes, yes, I also considered this battle. If we stay in Dole to build the city, it would be a waste of our troops. We should fight again right now. Mr. Lai suggestion, I agree."

As a general in the army, he already had a high fighting spirit and hoped to fight on the battlefield.Now that Lai Ji, as a military adviser, also put forward a suggestion to continue the attack, he naturally

very happy.

Ma Yuan leaned forward slightly, and said, "Mr. Lai, plan to come out?"

Laiji said in a deep voice: "Start with these captives and try to instigate some Persian soldiers. Because on the way here, the news from bad people is that a large part of the Persian army is actually slaves." Soldiers. These slaves are our chance. Although such a method of instigating rebellion and follow-up arrangements will take some time, it is more stable. And when His Majesty resolves the battle on the front line of Suzhou in the east, we will almost be able to complete the plan .”

Ma Yuan nodded and said, "That's what it means."

Laiji immediately explained the detailed plan. Yang Yi had been in power locally for many years and understood the situation, so he supplemented the plan and added some things he knew.

After the plan was completed, Ma Yuan and Lai Ji went to make arrangements separately.

Chapter 1143 Situation in Suzhou

Suzhou situation

Outside the city of Jiuquan in Suzhou, Xiaguo military camp.

The army under Du Qi's command is still sitting here.It is now July, and the weather in early July is still hot.Especially in these areas where there is little rain, it is extremely hot during the day, and it is only slightly cooler at night.

After entering July, the situation in Jiuquan has actually deteriorated further.

Because the people can't bear it anymore.

Even the soldiers stationed there lacked fighting spirit due to lack of food.

One by one has become pale and emaciated.

Combat power is also impaired.

Du Qi knew about this, but he hadn't sent troops to attack yet.Because until now, he is still waiting for Li Shimin's army.Only when Li Shimin's army arrives can Du Qi completely resolve the battle.Li Shimin's army has been defeated again and again. If Li Shimin is defeated again this time, then the Tang Dynasty will lose even more troops, and even the internal turmoil in the Tang Dynasty will be difficult for Li Shimin to suppress, so
