Tang's dining table

Yunchu's familiarity with catapults like Wu Duo was engraved in his life. A long time ago, when he was too young to catch up with the running sheep when grazing, Wu Duo became his best helper.

At first, he only used Wuduo to drive sheep, and later he used it to hunt marmots and fish. Later, he used Wuduo to hunt wolves and drive away leopards. After returning to Chang'an, he used it to kill Xu Jingzong's grandson.

Until now, no one has been able to find out that he killed Xu Jingzong's grandson. Although Di Renjie was very sure that it was Yun Chu who killed him, and Yun Chu admitted it, he still had no evidence to prove that a person could throw a block across a row of houses. Stone, kills a moving target.

People who study chemistry are highly sensitive to time, because the effects of chemistry are different at different times.

Therefore, on the chaotic battlefield, no one saw Yun Chu throw a ignited thunder bomb with Wu Duo.

Yusuf urged the horse to run at full speed. When the mane of the white horse under his crotch hit his belly like a whip, he knew that no one in the world could catch up with him.

A thunder bomb fell from the air and hit Baima's belly hard. Before Baima could feel the pain, a loud bang exploded on Baima's belly. The explosion tore open Baima's belly, which was originally well contained. The organs in his stomach were squeezed out of the hole in one fell swoop, but the white horse was still running wildly.

After all, it was the BMW that bore everything. Before Yusuf, who was shaken by the loud noise, could recover, the BMW under his crotch fell to the ground. Yusuf, who was thrown out by the white horse, was still there. While rolling in the air, he saw Yun Chu, who was wearing black armor. This man's eyes were full of joy.

Yunchu was actually very worried that Yusuf would be thrown to death, because no one would pay for a dead Yusuf.

Therefore, when throwing thunder and fire bombs, they deliberately avoided Yusuf, thinking that he would fall to the ground with the war horse and there would be a buffer. Unexpectedly, this guy was actually thrown out by the war horse.

Seeing Yusuf hitting the ground and causing a cloud of smoke and dust, Yun Chu shouted, and the bay red horse accelerated again, trying hard to move forward to seize the victory.

Those who came to rob were not only Yunchu, but also Liang Ying, soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, and a large group of soldiers belonging to Yusuf.

Because of the distance, some of the big cannibals risked their lives to fend off the pursuers. Some of the guards who were closer to Yusuf jumped off their horses and laid him sideways on the horse regardless of whether Yusuf was injured or not. , just want to run again.

The horse in Yun Chu's hand flashed crazily. At this moment, he used a lot of strength. After the horse was pulled out from the neck of the last guard, he laughed because the horse that had just been lifted onto the war horse Yusuf fell off his horse again.

Yun Chu just arrived at Yusuf's side. The last big cannibal slashed at Yusuf's neck with a desperate look on his face. Ma Hao flew away the long knife, and the broad blade knocked out the loyal big cannibal. , Yun Chu's sword pressed against Yusuf's neck, and he finally felt at ease.

But Yusuf didn't move at all. I pulled Yusuf's cheek with a horse stick and found that there was no movement at all.

After hurriedly jumping off the horse and feeling Yusuf's pulse, the uneasiness in his heart calmed down. The guy was still alive, but he was knocked unconscious. What was visible to the naked eye was that one of his legs was broken, and the bloody bones pierced the skin. It was exposed and covered in dust.

Looking at the sand that was soaked with blood, Yun Chu quickly helped Yusuf stop the bleeding and bandage it.

Yusuf's pulse finally calmed down, and it seemed that he would not die for the time being.

"Blow the trumpet, let's get out of here."

After Yusuf was settled, Yunchu immediately ordered to advance in the direction where Yusuf's army came. His military literacy told him that no one in the other directions was safe.

Yunchu gave up the big food horses and armors that were easily available before, which made the old thieves of the Tang Dynasty very frustrated.

Although there were some gains in this pursuit, they discarded more things.

Huo Du came to Yun Chu with a bitter face and said: "Junhou..."

Before he could speak, Yun Chu said with a smile: "Want those big food horses and those beautiful armors?"

Huo Du nodded repeatedly.

Yun Chu said: "As long as you want to, just do it."

Huo Du was overjoyed. He turned around and walked a few steps when he heard Yun Chu command Liang Ying again: "With them here, we don't have to leave behind any candidates. Order the three armies to move forward immediately."

Huo Du immediately gave up the idea of ​​going back to the main battlefield to search for loot. He shouted loudly to summon his companions who were catching the big food horse everywhere, and immediately organized his army to keep up with the army.

This time, Yun Chu personally took the lead. Behind him, whether it was the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the old thieves, or the retinues from the Western Regions, they were constantly adjusting their teams during the march, counting casualties, and those in charge of thunder and fire bombs. The logistics soldiers also had to distribute the thunder and fire bombs that had been lost in the fierce battle just now.

The dead were tied to war horses as if they were still alive, and the injured would also be tied to war horses and continue to move forward.

The news from the scouts was not good at all. At this moment, four cannibalistic teams of ten thousand people were outflanking them. The closest one was less than twenty miles away from the main battlefield.

Yun Chu abandoned the big cannibal who wanted to kill Yusuf at the last moment and filled his thirsty mouth with water. He hoped to tell the subsequent big cannibals through the mouth of this big cannibal that their governor In the hands of the Tang people, if they need the governor alive, they can bring money to redeem him.

If he didn't want this man-eating governor in the East, he was going to strip off the cannibal's supreme chief, shave off all his hair, and display him as a clown on this land to make money.

"We lost seven hundred and sixty-one people in the battle." Liang Ying, who was busy returning from the team, whispered in Yun Chu's ear.

Yun Chu glanced at Liang Ying and said, "Why did you say it in a low voice?"

Liang Ying was stunned for a moment and said: "The general is worried that it will affect the morale of the army."

Yun Chu said angrily: "With less than 4,000 soldiers, I defeated 10,000 Dashi elites head-on, captured their commander alive, and suffered more than 700 casualties in the battle. Do you think this news will affect the morale of the army?"

Yun Chu's voice was loud, and many people heard the words of the county magistrate. Even the old thieves couldn't help but straighten their chests. Although most of the 761 people who died in the battle were rangers, the old thieves couldn't help but straighten their chests. Thief, they still felt like they had just participated in an epic battle.

They had just arrived in the far west, and they had already heard more than once or twice about the Dashi army being brave, good at fighting, and invincible.

Now, under the leadership of the monarch, with a mere three thousand troops, they killed no less than four thousand cavalry, defeated tens of thousands of cavalry, and captured alive their highest official in the east.

A mere 761 people were damaged in the battle, which is really nothing.

One hundred and twenty-seven soldiers were killed in the battle, and Yun Chu's heart ached. Four hundred and eighty-six rangers were killed in the battle. Old thieves, Yun Chu felt a little regretful. If these people had not died, they would have died in the future. Become a great adventurer and explorer of the Western Regions in Datang.

As for how many loyal followers from the Western Regions had died, he had no idea. As long as he gave them enough rewards, he would have nothing to worry about.

The most injured people in cavalry battles are fracture patients. Broken arms, legs, and ribs are all very troublesome. They obviously need to be splinted and then rest, but now there is no such condition. It is estimated that dozens more will die after reaching a safe zone. indivual.

After six days of long journey, Yunchu once again arrived at the city of Heraz, which is backed by snow-capped mountains.

The city was completely plundered by Hassan and Compis. Not only were the people farming and herding under the snow-capped mountains missing, but there was no one in the city either.

It was obvious that the Dashi army had already arrived in this city. They cleaned up the corpses and repaired several high-altitude observation posts. When Yunchu's army arrived at Heraz, the observation posts on the snow-capped mountains were lit. After seeing the thick smoke, Yun Chu discovered that the way the Big Eater used smoke to warn people was very scientific. There was a fireworks point every thirty miles, from the snow-capped mountains to the depths of the earth.

The most scientific part is that these smokes are intermittent thick smoke, sometimes there is, sometimes not, sometimes the smoke is in a circle, sometimes it is a smoke column, it seems that there are some simple password rules in it.

Yun Chu didn't care much about being discovered by the enemy. Anyway, the purpose of his trip was to attract all the Dashi troops and discuss business with the occupiers, conquerors and seers of Sasanian Persia.

After checking that there were no accumulation of flammable materials, no highly toxic substances in the wells, and no designs such as hidden soldier caves buried in the city, the army entered the deserted city of Heraz.

Liang Ying immediately went to check whether the retreat route to the tropical rain forest was complete, while Yun Chu had a profound dialogue with the captured cannibal Far East Governor Yusuf for the first time.

"Dashiguo has always been on good terms with you, the Tang Dynasty. Why do the princes and marquises start provocations? Aren't you afraid that the king of the Tang Dynasty will blame you?"

Yusuf, who had one of his legs amputated, still looked elegant, and there was almost no human emotion in his gray-brown eyes. Even though he looked very embarrassed and had lost a leg, he still said words that were consistent with his status as the governor of the East.

Yunchu handed Yusuf a cup of tea and said: "This is a new cup. It is calcined by fire. The water also comes from living water. The tea leaves come from trees in the East. According to your teachings, they are all clean and can be drank." .”

Yusuf took the tea and said, "Even if you are a prisoner, will you Tang people treat you with courtesy?"

Yunchu poured himself a cup of tea, held it in his hand and said: "We follow some ancient etiquette and have been doing so for two thousand years. Sometimes, this way of hospitality has penetrated into our bones and will drive us to follow these involuntarily. The ancient rituals continue."

Yusuf took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "A person who can make such an impressive drink should be as elegant as a troubadour. Why is he so cruel that no grass grows anywhere he goes?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I have also heard that the Big Eater is generous and kind. Even when dealing with wanderers, he will invite him to rest in his tent and prepare sumptuous food for the wanderers when he bids farewell.

Why did such a kind and kind man massacre so many Persians? Why can't they live a peaceful life? "

Yusuf smiled and said: "It seems that both of our hands are covered with blood, why don't we stop speaking in a scholar's tone, which will make both of us feel strongly guilty.

After all, you betrayed the etiquette you followed, and I betrayed the teachings I firmly believed in. Neither of them can be considered a kind and elegant person.

So, let’s say something a butcher should say. "

See you tomorrow, I'm going to have a drink.
