"Di di da da …" The Winged Knights' telegraphist came over with a telegram and reported.
Te Gelu took a cup of water from the person next to him and drank it while reading the news.
He wanted to know how he lost. The army of the Tang dynasty seemed to have fallen from the sky. Weren't they all thousand-man teams?
The soldiers of the Tang dynasty looked at Te Gelu sympathetically. Actually, Te Gelu's response was not too big of a problem.
The mistake was that Te Gelu's thousand-man scout team did not continue to send scouts.
If they rejected the marquis, Te Gelu's men would suffer casualties and many of them would die.
Even if all of them died, they would not be able to cause any losses to their side.
Their gains would change. Their horses would die with them and they would not have as many captives.
Originally, they had thought of a tactic, but at the critical moment, the Featherwood Flying Cavalry made a suggestion to attack with fire.
The men and horses would lie in the grass and set fire when the distance was about right.
Anyway, the Turks would not be able to catch up with them. Who would be able to chase them under the fire? Once they chased them, they would continue to set fire while running.
They originally planned to block the fire at a place where the fire was small. However, the Turks' general was smart and did not rush forward.
Moreover, he made use of the men's irritation to make the horses uneasy and then set off the explosives.
Oh! For the sake of the Turks' lives, they were worried sick.
After about seven minutes, the messenger looked up and said, "Commander Zhang called back and ordered us to go back together to rest and reorganize. After that, we will replace the other teams."
"Good! Call back. We will take the captives and rush back through the night. We can't stay here for long. Inform the brothers outside the two layers of encirclement to go home. "
The general agreed and organized the team. They tied the captives' hands behind their backs and put them on the horses.
They were treated the same as if they were unconscious. If they felt uncomfortable, they were asked to lie forward.
There was no need to consider whether they would fall off the horses. They were all the same. If they did not hold the reins, they could not ride the horses. How could they pull the bow?
Te Gelu listened for a while and thought for a while. He asked, "Do you have a way to communicate with the Heavenly Army from here?"
"Yes!" The general nodded.
"You can communicate better with each other?" Te Gelu asked again.
"Yes!" The general nodded.
"You bullied us with binoculars and this thing!" Te Gelu said with certainty. His face was full of grief and indignation.
"Yes!" The general agreed...
"It's not the fault of war!" Te Gelwu looked up at the sky and sighed.
This was just like using cavalry and archers to bully infantrymen. Oh, not counting the infantrymen of the Tang dynasty, it was the same as bullying other people's infantrymen.
"How are we going to fight this battle? How are we going to fight this war … "Te Gelwu kept mumbling.
Even when he was on the horse, he was still not done. His hands were not tied. Even if he had god-like horsemanship, he still needed the help of a god-like horse.
The horses did not care about anything else. After they were smoked, they ran out to drink water and followed their companions. It did not matter where they went.
The other teams gradually gathered, totaling up to more than 46,000 people.
When the Turks saw this, for some reason, they rejoiced. Did the Tang dynasty really need to send so many soldiers just to deal with one thousand of them?
The scouts of the Military forces of the Tang Dynasty went out and ran back and forth. They did not want to be attacked by others again.
The Winged Knights' telegraphist rode on a horse and sent a telegram, explaining the details of the battle.
In the Heavenly Soldiers, Zhang Jiazhen and the others were no longer sleepy. They opened a few cans and drank to celebrate. The liquor was specially provided by the Li Family Zhuangzi. It was non-medical alcohol.
"This liquor should be drunk quickly after it's hot. You have to take small sips." Zhang Zhiyun looked as if he had experience.
"That's right. You have to take small sips even when it's cold," Zhang Jiazhen retorted.
"Yes, you should take small sips. If you drink a big mouthful, you can't taste the liquor. This liquor was brewed during the winter wheat harvest last year. It's been more than a year since then. "
Guan Yujin explained the situation.
Wang Han took a sip and frowned. After more than ten seconds, he slowly exhaled the smell of alcohol. "Good liquor. Wheat liquor is mellow."
"This is barley liquor," Guan Yujin said innocently.
"Didn't you say it was brewed during the winter wheat harvest?" Wang Han mentioned what Guan Yujin said.
"Yes, it was brewed during the winter wheat harvest last year using old barley. It's not as good as new grain. It's a waste to brew new grain.
It's a pity that the poor people are willing to buy old grain because they don't have enough productivity. "
Guan Yujin sighed with emotion. She felt sorry for the people of the Tang dynasty.
Old grain was cheaper than new grain. When cooking rice, the new grain would produce less water than the old grain of the same weight, and the water content would be higher.
It was cheaper and they could eat more. The poor people had to choose old grain.
"The newspaper said that Dr. Li brought back a high-yield species from overseas. I think in a few years, the people will eat new grain."
Wang Han liked to eat new grain. It tasted good and tasted good.
Guan Yujin took a bite of the canned food. "By then, corn will be planted in the areas with more water in the grassland and potatoes in the other areas.
They will be planted to feed the horses and cattle. If they can cultivate high-yield seeds, they will be sent elsewhere. "
"Feed the livestock? Wouldn't it be better to transport the grain to other places? "Wang Han pointed out the problem.
Zhang Zhiyun said, "Transportation costs are great. It's easy for the people to farm if they raise the cattle and horses and drive them to other places. Some people can't pull the plow and can only dig a small hole to plant seeds. How can they increase the yield?"
"My family will lend the horses to the people around to farm." Wang Han remembered. Yes, there was nothing wrong with it.
His family was powerful because of this. Just like the Li Family Zhuangzi, the people only needed to feed them when they borrowed the horses.
Whoever wanted to touch his family had to ask the people if they agreed.
If they confiscated Wang Han's family and gave the horses to the people, the people wouldn't agree. They couldn't afford to raise them.
The people only borrowed the horses when they needed to farm and returned them to Wang Han's family.
Unless they could afford to raise cows. The cows didn't need to be fed with refined materials or night grass.
The cows only needed to see winter and feed them some good materials before spring to fatten them up.
However, the people had a conscience and were afraid of being criticized by the people in other places.
"Watch the road." Zhang Jiazhen said, "See how the road is built. There's a river here. It won't be troublesome to transport them by boat."
After that, he changed the topic. "A thousand captives and three thousand good horses. Send our bad horses back to Chang 'an with the captives. "
"Since the current envoys are dying, send people to the places of the Later Turks and set them on fire. Force them to continue migrating and mess up their formation."
Guan Yujin suggested. He didn't have any thoughts of protecting the environment or animals.
The Later Turks had a nomadic lifestyle. They lived by the grass and grass.
Setting fires could disrupt their rhythm of life and force them to change places when they shouldn't be migrating. Both the livestock and the people would suffer.
"The Li Family Zhuangzi will send a message tomorrow morning. It's not worth waking them up with a thousand captives."
Zhang Jiazhen wanted to wait and see. Li Yi was always able to give unexpected surprises. She wanted to ask him.
What she didn't know was that Li Yi had just been woken up to read the telegram.
"Good, it's good to set fire. The strategy of using fire is beautiful. We have to set fire. There's something in the Zhuangzi that can cooperate. The smoke from that thing is interesting."
Li Yi finished reading the telegram. He drank two mouthfuls of water and lay down again.
