Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 255 Blood debt must be paid with blood!

Although Mo Chu was unwilling to give up, he still ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops out of the desire to preserve his strength, intending to devour the Zhou army outside the city when reinforcements arrived.

Looking at the Turkic soldiers retreating in panic, Lin Tie stroked his beard happily and said.

"In this battle, our victory with a small number and a large number is enough to be recorded in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

“I believe it won’t be long before Shenji Camp becomes famous all over the world!”

Zhang Huan also nodded with emotion.

"Yes, since ancient times, the infantry of the Central Plains have been at a disadvantage against the nomadic cavalry. It is a miracle that our Shenji Battalion can defeat 20,000 cavalry with 10,000 people."

"Thanks to the General Manager. If it weren't for the training methods he compiled, we would have dispersed with just one charge from the Turkic cavalry."

Hearing his name, Fan Xin withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"Now is not the time to be complacent. The main Turkic force still exists and our tasks are still very heavy."

"Send the order to step up the reloading of ammunition and be ready to bombard Zhaozhou City at any time."

"I will obey your orders!"

Several generals held their fists and led their men out of the camp.

Just when the Zhou army was building a position to encircle Zhaozhou, the atmosphere in the governor's mansion was extremely depressing.

All the Turkic generals sat on their chairs with deep thoughts and said nothing.

Even the hard-liners in Tiele's ministry kept their mouths shut.

Compared to the 60,000 soldiers and horses who died in the past two days, they suffered huge psychological damage.

During their decades of military service, they had participated in countless wars, including the Tiger and Wolf Journey of the Tang Dynasty Cavalry.

But no army is as terrifying as the one outside the city. Just stand there and light the cannon, and a steady stream of shells will fall from the sky.

With every explosion, hundreds of lives are bound to be taken away.

The most terrifying thing is those firearms. As long as the talc is ignited, nearly 10,000 lead bullets will be shot into the bodies of the Turkic soldiers.

And their proud Turkic cavalry had no chance of approaching the Zhou army's position.

"Great Khan, the Zhou army's weapons are so powerful that our cloth armor cannot stop them. The old minister thinks that we should not stay in Zhaozhou until we find a way to defeat the enemy."

"We should return to Mobei as soon as possible. Only when we reach the prairie can we use our advantages." The white-haired old man said.

"I agree with Mr. Wen Nai's proposal. There are undercurrents surging within the Turks right now. If we lose the Tiger, Leopard and Eagle Division here."

"I'm afraid I will be purged by other families after I return." The Pioneer General agreed.

Seeing that his confidants unanimously agreed to return to Mobei, Mo Chuo sighed inwardly, finally getting such an opportunity to go south.

Unexpectedly, all the previous efforts were wasted because Fan Xin killed him halfway.

At this time, two Turkic cavalry covered in dirt broke into the governor's mansion.

"Reporting to the Great Khan, Yelu Qiyan's tribe was blocked by the Zhou army and suffered heavy losses in the Black Dragon Spring area. They have now fled to Mobei."

"After being captured, Shi Wei chose to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty and formally drew a clear line with our Turks!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. No one expected that the two powerful allies would escape and surrender, and the last hope in their hearts was shattered.

Mo Chuo kicked the chair over angrily. He never dreamed that these two losers would betray him.

"Great Khan, please order the withdrawal from Zhaozhou without further ado."

"Otherwise we won't be able to leave once the Zhou army encircles us!" the old man said anxiously.

His eyes swept over his body one by one, Mo Chui looked up to the sky and sighed, waving his hands helplessly.

"That's it, the situation is over, order to withdraw..."

Boom boom boom!

Before he finished speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in Zhaozhou City.

Immediately, a hurried report resounded in the lobby.

"Oh no, Great Khan, the Zhou army shelled the city, and the subordinates suffered heavy losses!"

Mo Chuo's expression changed and he said quickly: "Immediately send word to the Khan to order the army to withdraw to Mobei via the Fifth Circuit Road of Yixian County!"

"Yes!"

After his subordinates left, Mo Chui turned around and went to the backyard, opened the door and walked in.

Seeing him coming, Yinzhu hugged the child and turned away, seemingly still angry.

Seeing this, Mo Chui smiled bitterly and said: "My child, now is not the time to be angry with my father. Let's hurry up and leave. The Zhou army has already reached the outside of the city."

Princess Yinzhu was happy to hear that she was leaving and said, "Father Khan, don't you plan to go south?"

"I'm not going, I'm going back to Mobei." Mo Chuiyan said insincerely.

In this situation, forcing the army to go south will only lead to heavy losses. It is better to go back to recover and make a comeback in the future.

After the father and daughter packed their things, they left Zhaozhou on horseback from the west gate under the protection of their personal guards.

Seeing that the Turkic army was evacuating towards Yixian County, Fan Xin signaled the Shenji Battalion to stop the bombardment and led his team into the city.

It is important to drive away the Turks, but rescuing the people is also a top priority.

It's just that the city of Zhaozhou is empty, and there are no traces of half a common people anywhere.

After an unknown amount of time, the guard in charge of the search came back and said with an ugly expression.

"Report to the Chief Manager, the people of Zhaozhou have found it!"

Fan Xin was delighted: "Where?"

"There are more than 28,000 heads in the big pit, and not a single one is alive!"

Fan Xin felt a loud bang in his head and fell down from his horse.

"not good!"

"General Manager!"

The generals were in a hurry. Fan Xin slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he did when he woke up was to go to the mass grave and said to the densely packed heads.

"The great Zhou was incompetent and did not save your lives. The fault lies with me. Don't worry, I will make the Turks pay with their blood!"

After saying this, Fan Xin pulled out the golden dragon sword and slashed it with his palm.

In an instant, bright red blood surged out and fell to the ground.

"Pass this general order, all troops must gather at Wuhui Road immediately."

"I will make the Turks pay with blood!"

……

Call!

"Iron Curtain, order the army to stop. You will lead a group of people to explore the fifth corridor ahead." The old man reined in his horse and said.

A flash of light flashed in Iron Curtain's eyes, and he respectfully held his fists and led the scouts to check the situation.

After watching the group leave, Mo Chui frowned.

"Sir, you are too careful. Returning to Mobei after five rounds was a temporary decision made by Ben Khan. Zhou Jun could not know."

The old man smiled slightly: "There is an old saying among the Han people: be careful in sailing the ship of ten thousand years. The more you get to the end, the more you cannot relax."

While he was talking, a group of cavalry stopped in front of the carriage from far to near.

"Back to the Great Khan, everything is normal in Chapter 5, and no sign of Zhou Jun was found."

Mo Chuo laughed, sat in the car and waved his sleeves.

"Order the army to continue advancing and strive to enter Mobei before dark!"

Following the order, more than 100,000 people marched into Wuhui Road.

Seeing the dense forests and steep terrain in the two mountains, Mo Chui couldn't help but snorted.

"This time I was only defeated by Zhou's new weapons. When we master the skills of firearms, we must return the humiliation we suffered today to Zhou a hundredfold."

"Just wait, we Turks will come back!"
