Chapter 84 I am proud of my son
Chu Zhao took out the map and pointed to a place and said:
“The Turkic army is now stationed at the border mountain of Shawu, a hundred miles away. If they move another thirty miles south, they will reach the territory of our Anning country.
But they have 150,000 men, and our Northwest Army only has 50,000 men, and we can’t send all of them out to fight, so we have to leave 20,000 men to protect the people in the city, just in case.”
Gu Xi shook his head and said, "There is no need to send out a large army. A thousand of us are enough."
Now Chu Zhao was surprised.
Originally, when they went out to fight against the Turkic vanguard, they were outnumbered ten to one. They were able to win a great victory because of their magical weapons such as landmines and hand grenades.
But what does it mean to have an army of 150,000? They are fighting one against 150!
Even if they had more grenades, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
"Dasheng, are you planning to die together with the Turks?" This was the only possibility Chu Zhao could think of.
There were a thousand of them, each of them carrying grenades, and they rushed into the enemy camp. With their own lives, they killed tens of thousands of Turks and caused heavy damage to the Turks. Even if they died on the battlefield, their names would go down in history.
"What?" Gu Xi was confused by Chu Zhao's words.
"What are you thinking? I value my life very much. The life of each of our soldiers is also very important. Why would I go and die?"
Chu Zhao's eyes lit up, "Is General Gu going to send out the heavenly soldiers and generals to help us?"
Gu Xi rolled his eyes at him.
"I don't have any heavenly soldiers or generals, but I can show you some heavenly thunder. Once this divine weapon is out, we can kill the enemy from miles away."
Thinking of the miracles that Qi Dasheng had created one after another, Chu Zhao was full of confidence in him again.
Since he wants to brave the Turks, he will follow him regardless of life or death!
Uh, why did he use the term life and death together?
Chu Zhao felt that he must have been poisoned.
-
The Northwest Army’s central camp.
The messenger reported to the general happily.
"General, in this battle, more than 6,000 people were killed and captured. In the end, only a hundred or so Turkic remnants escaped. There were also 2,000 war horses and dozens of carts of weapons and supplies. General Wu Chi is leading people to transport them back to the camp."
The deputy generals were also numbed by the shock.
"Hahahaha... Good! Good! Good! In this way, the Turkic people will be discouraged and their morale will be unstable. I guess they won't dare to attack rashly in the short term. Our Northwest Army finally has time to wait for reinforcements from the imperial court."
Chu Shiting laughed heartily, feeling somewhat proud in his heart. He was indeed his son - and someone his son valued.
When the deputy generals saw the general's proud expression, they also complimented him a few times.
"The young general is a man of extraordinary talent!"
"The young general is better than his teacher!"
……
It is amazing that these generals can even speak idioms.
After hearing all the flattery, Chu Shiting said to the messenger:
"Go and see where the Major General and Captain Qi are, and tell them that the entire army will celebrate their victory tonight!"
The messenger took the order and went out.
However, at this moment, Gu Xi and Chu Zhao had already assembled their troops and set out.
Except for the sacrificed and seriously injured cavalrymen who were taken back to the military camp by Wu Chi, the remaining one thousand people, still equipped lightly, headed deep into the grassland.
Wu Chi pretended to stop them, but as he watched them leave, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
With only a thousand people, they dared to fight against 150,000 Turkic troops. How arrogant!
In his mind, these thousand people were already dead.
The messenger finally found the major general, but the major general refused to return to the camp. He only gave him a note and asked him to take it back.
The messenger had no choice but to go back and report the truth. When Chu Shiting heard that a thousand of them had gone to Shawu Mountain, he was immediately shocked.
When I opened the note, I saw that it said: The general is away from the battlefield and is not subject to military orders.
These two naughty kids are so brave!
Although he had learned from the wounded that Qi Dasheng had obtained a very powerful weapon, a small one that could blow away anyone within a few feet of the area, but the Turks had an army of 150,000!
Even if we just sit there and let them chop us, we can probably tire a thousand people to death.
What's more, the Turks must have known about the existence of this weapon by now, so how could they not be prepared?
The celebration banquet could not be held, so Chu Shiting called a meeting of all the generals.
Finally, Chu Shiting, worried about his son's safety, decided to lead his troops himself to support Chu Zhao and others.
Another reason was that he also wanted to see the power of land mines and grenades with his own eyes.
He brought two deputy generals, Wu Chi and Zhao Shan, and left Sun Feng to guard the camp. Early the next morning, he assembled 30,000 soldiers and marched towards Shawu Mountain.
An expedition is not like defending a city. The costs of food, fodder and supplies are huge, and the infantry moves slowly. After a day's walk, they only cover 50 miles.
At this moment, Gu Xi and his party had arrived at the border. Twenty miles away from the Turkic army, there was an unnamed barren mountain with overgrown trees and weeds, making it easy to hide. Gu Xi and his party set up camp there.
During the day today, Gu Xi and others hid in the barren mountains to practice flying drones. They did not set off quietly until night fell.
-
The Turkic army camp at Shawshan.
The general leading the troops was Ashina Yili, the eldest son of the Turkic king.
At this moment, he was glaring at Ruger, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for his crime, and he wished he could chop him with a knife.
"Ten thousand vanguard troops were almost wiped out in two days. This is unprecedented in our Turkic history!"
"Ruger, you are a sinner of the Turks and a shame to the Turkic warriors!"
If Ruger had not been the brother of his favorite concubine, Ashina Yili would have chopped off his head by now.
After being scolded for a long time, Luger finally raised his head, his eyes full of fear.
He said to Ashina Yili:
"Little Khan, Luger deserves death. He should have committed suicide the moment he lost. But Luger came back alive just to report to the little Khan that the Chu army is simply a devil. They have a weapon, a small one, which will explode when thrown at us, with a sound like thunder and lightning. A large area of our warriors were all killed. General, we can't fight this battle!"
Ashina Yili's face turned blue with anger, and he drew out his sword and placed it across Ruger's neck:
"If we lose, we lose. What excuses are you looking for to disrupt the morale of the army? What kind of weapon can blow up a large area? Even if there is lightning, it can't kill so many people! If we can't invade the Central Plains this time, can I still keep my position as the Khan?!"
Although Ashina Yili was a small Khan, equivalent to a crown prince among the Han people, his mother was of humble origin and his several younger brothers had long wanted to replace him, so he could not fail.
Luger closed his eyes in pain.
He didn't want to recall the scenes on the battlefield, and Ashina Yili's distrust of him made him even more painful.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud rumbling sound, shaking the earth.
Luger's face turned pale and his whole body trembled as if he had seen a ghost. This voice was too familiar!
"General, they are coming!"
Ashina Yili was furious when he saw Ruger was so frightened. He kicked Ruger and immediately walked out of the tent.
The army camps stretched for several miles. Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky from the camp in the south, and there were bursts of rumbling sounds, like thunder.
"Go! See what's happening!"
