Chapter 998 Aftermath of the War!

Chapter Nine Hundred and Ninety Eight

"This Daqin Ruozan...is really difficult to deal with!"

In the Western Turkic tent, Du Wusli heard the movement, opened the curtain, walked out of the tent, and glanced at the direction where Daqin Ruozan and the others were leaving. A strange look flashed in Du Wusli's eyes. shine.

"The army retreated without even notifying me. Is this some kind of small warning?"

A playful smile appeared in Du Wusili's eyes. There are many people who can understand his behavior style and see through his true intentions, but there are few people like Daqin Ruozan who have already seen everything through just one meeting.

"Pass my order! The army retreats, and go east with the Tibetans of Uzbekistan!"

Du Wusili immediately ordered.

"But my lord, what about the man in the tent?"

said a voice.

Listen carefully, when this person speaks, you can hear * * from the tent.

"Take him with you. This person is invaluable now. If something goes wrong, I only ask you!"

Du Wusili said.

"yes!"

In the camp, the man's heart froze, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Booming, just as the Uzbek Tibetan army pulled out their camp and left, Du Wusili led the remaining soldiers and wolves to the distance.

...

In front of Talas City, after listening to Zhang Shouzhi's words, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, Wang Yan, and Wang Chong were all silent. Daqin Ruozan, Huoshu Guizang, Dusong Mangbuzhi, and the tens of thousands of Uzang soldiers and horses did not move. Only Du Wusili, who took advantage of the fire to loot, came and destroyed the most important and last of the army. A heavy crossbow.

Everyone defended the entire Cathay Corps, and saved the heavy crossbow from their crazy attack, but they failed to defend against Du Wusili, who struck back before leaving. When thousands of parts are scattered all over the sky, it means that there is no longer a heavy crossbow in the whole Talas.

"Can it be fixed?"

Gao Xianzhi said subconsciously. This is his first reaction.

The heavy crossbow is dominated by Zhang Shouzhi,

Created from scratch. No one is more familiar with the heavy crossbow than he is. If there is one person who can fix it, it can only be him.

"It's hard."

Zhang Shouzhi shook his head and said with a serious expression:

"Du Wusili is the top general of the empire. His shots are different from others. A giant can destroy a heavy crossbow, let alone a general of the empire. I checked, and almost 80% of the parts of the heavy crossbow It took a long time for us to collect, forge, and inscriptions, including some excellent and extremely precious parts. All materials are extremely precious, and there is only a very small probability that we can get them repair."

Gao Xianzhi was silent for a moment.

In this battle, the heavy crossbow contributed the most. If the giant crossbow is damaged, it will be a big blow to everyone. After all, no one knows now whether Dashi has other inhuman powers.

"It's okay, leave this matter to me."

Wang Chong said calmly. Others don't know if the Dashi Empire has other inhuman powers, but Wang Chong knows that the Behemoth Legion and the Cathay Legion are already their strongest forces. With such a large loss in a short period of time, the Dashi Empire has no strength. Then mobilize some inhuman forces.

"Senior Zhang, let's stick to the old rules. Collect the missing parts of the two heavy crossbows, reassemble them, and build another one. It doesn't matter whether you can shoot arrows or not. The most important thing is that it can boost the morale of the army. .Also, now we know that the heavy crossbow is difficult to assemble, but Dashi and Wu Sizang don't know it. Having a model there will more or less deter them."

Wang Chong patted the switch.

Now the entire Talas battlefield, the last giant beast is in his hands. To be honest, there is really no need to manufacture a heavy crossbow that can deal with giant beasts so quickly.

—Even if it is possible, it doesn’t have to be so fast.

"Understood! If this is the case, the old man will soon be able to build another one."

Zhang Shouzhi nodded, already understanding what Wang Chong meant.

During the last war, Wang Chong used a bunch of fake Tang crossbows to deceive the Tibetans in Uzbekistan. Now, it is obvious that he is repeating the old trick.

"Boom!"

While they were discussing, the sky was suddenly filled with dust in the distance. On the high hills, a large army retreated towards the distance like a tide.

"It's a Tibetan from Uzbekistan!"

Xue Qianjun said in surprise, his expression was very excited, and the pressure of the past few days was swept away.

"The big cannibals have retreated, and the Tibetans in Uz must have seen Abu Muslin retreating, and they also had the intention to retreat."

"Boom!"

While speaking, following behind the army, the Western Turks also began to retreat.

Seeing this scene, everyone looked joyful and relaxed a lot. If there were no threats from the Western Turks and Uzbek Tibetans, everyone's situation would be much better.

"not that simple!"

Wang Chong shook his head, looking at the direction in which the two armies were leaving, his brows slowly wrinkled. While he was speaking, the four coaches, Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, and Wang Yan, also stood up one after another.

"Wang Chong is right. This battle did have an impact on the Tibetans of Uzbekistan and the Turks of Western Turks, but whether it is Sirius General Du Wusili, Huoshu Guizang, Daqin Ruozan, etc., it is not the same. The kind who give up easily."

Gao Xianzhi also agreed. Although the retreat of the two armies made everyone's situation much calmer, Gao Xianzhi always had deep doubts in his heart.

"Remember, if you don't defeat the enemy, you can't call it a real victory. You must not take it lightly."

Wang Chong nodded slightly. In this regard, he and Gao Xianzhi had exactly the same views. As the top commander of the Tang Dynasty, the two had a lot of consensus.

It was quiet all around, and a group of people watched the Uzbek Tibetans and Western Turkic people leave without speaking. Only Wang Chong looked at the direction in which the Western Turks left, his eyelids twitched slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Wang Chong, what's wrong?"

Gao Xianzhi immediately and keenly sensed something, and turned his head.

"Something's wrong."

Wang Chong frowned deeply, and one sentence attracted everyone's attention.

"Wang Chong, what's wrong? Did you find something?"

Cheng Qianli asked. Although he hadn't been in contact with Wang Chong for a long time, Cheng Qianli also knew that this young Qixi Chief Protector would never target indiscriminately. If he felt something was wrong, something must have happened.

"have no idea."

Wang Chong slowly withdrew his gaze from a distance:

"It's not the first time Daqin Ruozan and I have fought against each other, and I have some understanding of his behavior style. The battle is over and the big cannibal has been defeated. Daqin Ruozan chose to retreat at this time to avoid the edge and rest the army. Waiting for the opportunity, this is completely his usual style of doing things. But that Sirius general... I always feel that something is wrong."

"Du Wusili?"

Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli looked at each other in blank dismay. Both of them showed a hint of surprise. Neither of them expected that the focus of Wang Chong's attention would be on Sirius General Du Wusili.

"Lord Protector, your qualifications are deeper than mine. This Du Wusili, have you had any contact with him before? Do you know him?"

"This..., Du Wusili and I belong to different theaters, and we didn't have much direct contact in the past, so we didn't pay much attention to him."

Gao Xianzhi frowned, with a look of reminiscence on his face.

"However, as far as I know, the evaluation from the outside world is that Wusili is a difficult person to deal with. He was able to sit in the position of Qi Jin at the beginning, and he was able to sit in this position by killing the last Jin Jin through iron and blood means. —— That person was also very famous in Western Turks back then."

Hearing these words, Wang Chong's brows furrowed even more tightly, and the feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

It was quiet all around, everyone was looking at Wang Chong, no one dared to disturb him at this time. As for Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, Wang Yan and the others, they also looked thoughtful because of Wang Chong's words. It's just a retreat, it's really hard for everyone to feel something from inside like Wang Chong.

"Senior Zhang Shou, please tell me what you said before."

Looking past Zhang Shouzhi in the crowd, Wang Chong suddenly said.

Zhang Shouzhi was puzzled, but he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly repeated what he said before.

When Zhang Shouzhi said it for the second time, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully, but including Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli, everyone still didn't understand. What is the relationship between Du Wusili's destruction of the heavy crossbow and the "something wrong" that Wang Chong said.

Needle drops could be heard all around, and everyone looked blank, but Wang Chong's eyes gradually became sharper.

"No, Du Wusili is weird!"

Wang Chong said categorically.

"Wang Chong, what have you discovered? Is there anything wrong with Du Wusili destroying the heavy crossbow?"

Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli said hastily.

"It's not about the heavy crossbow, it's about Du Wusili. Lord Du Hu, General Cheng, let me ask you, what do you think is Du Wusli's purpose when he came alone from the second steel defense line?" What is it?"

"Of course it's to deal with..."

Cheng Qianli said without thinking. But just now, when he was about to say the word "Wang Chong", as soon as the words came to his lips, he immediately thought of something, and he was stunned, speechless.

"Did you find it?"

Wang Chong took a deep look at Cheng Qianli, knowing that he had already reacted.

"Du Wusili seems to be targeting us on the surface, but from the beginning to the end, we have never met him face to face. This Du Wusili is definitely weird. His goal is not us, and he definitely has other plans. .”

Wang Chong's thinking became clearer and clearer, and his eyes became sharper. On the other side, Gao Xianzhi's eyes were the same as Wang Chong's, showing a hint of worry. It would be fine if Du Wusili came for everyone, but if not, it would be really tricky. What's more dangerous is that the battle is over, no matter what Du Wusili's goal is, he should have succeeded by now.

"Xue Qianjun! Send me an order to assemble the army! Let me investigate again! Especially the car crossbow troops, and the Wushang cavalry! Don't let me let go of all the details!"

At the end, Wang Chong's eyes were extremely cold.
