Chapter 1230 Millions of Tang Dynasty People Live

"Commander, there is news from the front that General Huizhen has entered Calabash Valley."

"Calabash Valley!"

Hou Junji's expression immediately changed.

"What's wrong?" Yuengai Suwen didn't quite understand why Hou Junji was so excited about the news.

"It's bad."

"If Zhao Chen had deployed the sky-blasting cannon in Hulu Valley, none of Huizhen and his 50,000 troops would be able to come back!" Hou Junji said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Hou Junji somewhat blamed Yuan Gaisuwen.

If he hadn't been a little carried away now and didn't send someone to inform Huizhen of the danger.

Huizhen would not have entered Calabash Valley unprepared.

It's a good thing that Zhao Chen didn't meet up with Li Shimin. Even if they suffered a loss, it wouldn't be too big.

Once Zhao Chen reaches the front line now, the sky-blasting cannon may have been used.

Hulu Valley will also become the burial place of Huizhen and tens of thousands of his soldiers.

"Why is Mr. Hou looking at me like this?" Yuengai Suwen was a little dissatisfied.

There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world.

Huizhen led the troops to Hulu Valley, and Zhao Chen had already arrived at the front line, where was he still making preparations?

"Commander, we should have told General Huizhen yesterday."

"if……"

"boom--"

Before Hou Junji finished speaking, he felt the ground beneath his feet shaking.

"Something happened!" Hou Junji's expression changed drastically and he rushed out of the camp.

Then he saw a large ball of flame suddenly bursting out in the mountains and forests in the distance.

The flames shot straight into the sky.

The entire mountain forest seemed to be blown down by something, sliding towards the ground.

Large numbers of birds flew out of the woods and scattered around as if fleeing.

"It's over." Hou Junji looked at the mountains and forests ahead, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness coming over him.

Hou Junji knew very well that Hulugu had really ambushed the Tianhuang Cannon.

Huizhen and his 50,000-strong army were completely wiped out!

…

Li Jing and Xu Shiji

The man led a team of men and horses and ambush on both sides of the mountain forest.

There was a violent explosion in the Calabash Valley in the middle, making the war horses neigh.

The ground beneath my feet seemed to be shaking.

Li Jing only felt numb under his feet.

The soldiers behind him all had frightened faces.

"Wei...Wei Gong, the valley has collapsed." The general and Li Jing pointed at the valley ahead.

Li Jing looked around and saw that the boulders on both sides of the valley were all rolling down towards the middle valley.

Countless trees rolled downwards.

Looking into the valley from a distance, all that can be seen are stumps and broken arms.

The sight of bloody flesh made Li Jing, a veteran who was used to seeing the cruelty of the battlefield, feel sick to his stomach.

Also feeling uncomfortable was Xu Shiji opposite.

At this moment, he finally understood why the emperor kept saying that Zhao Chen opposed the use of such a terrifying weapon as the sky-blasting cannon.

If such a cruel and inhumane weapon is used on the battlefield, it will definitely arouse the anger of heaven and earth.

Such a scene of complete massacre will be a lifetime nightmare for a timid person.

Such is Huizhen at this moment.

Huizhen is lucky.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not detonate the cannon at the exit of Hulu Valley.

So Huizhen temporarily saved her life.

But those Goguryeo soldiers who originally planned to support him were all buried in the Calabash Valley at this moment.

Tens of thousands of people, only a few Goguryeo soldiers who had not yet had time to enter the Hulu Valley could barely save their lives.

The others all turned into puddles of flesh and blood, buried in the valley.

Huizhen's whole body was shaking.

He was really scared at this moment.

The deep fear made him lose all his strength.

His body is covered with the belongings of our own soldiers.

Blood, and even other unknown things shattered into a ball.

"Devils, you are all devils." Huizhen's voice was hoarse and her eyes were bloodshot.

He didn't expect that this would be the case today.

Tens of thousands of lives were lost in just a burst of explosions.

Since the war with the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo had only lost this number of soldiers.

But today's battle...

Those people didn't even have complete corpses.

"Zhao Chen, you devil, you will definitely die badly." Huizhen pointed at Zhao Chen, with fear on his face.

Zhao Chen didn't speak. Tens of thousands of lives disappeared in front of him. It was impossible not to feel uneasy.

But Zhao Chen knew that if he didn't come this time, the Tang Dynasty would definitely fall into war. .??.

The number of people in the Tang Dynasty who will die by then will far exceed this number.

"Qin San, I'll leave it to you." Zhao Chen left a few words before waving his hand to retreat.

At this moment, Huizhen had no power to resist, even if he was not injured at all.

But the trauma in his heart was enough to scare him for a lifetime.

Qin Huaiyu looked at the trembling Huizhen and said, "Huizhen, the Japanese general will spare your life for now."

"Whether you go back to Yeon Gaesumun or go back to Goguryeo, wait for me, General."

"See you next time, General I will not lose."

After that, Qin Huaiyu left with his soldiers.

In the huge Calabash Valley, except for Huizhen, who was standing here alone, he could only smell the strong smell of blood.

…

"What's wrong with Mr. Zhao?" Old Li Tou came outside Zhao Chen's tent at night and asked when he saw Cheng Chu silently guarding the door.

Cheng Chumo shook his head.

Zhao Chen has not come out since he came back.

Cheng Chumo wanted to go in, but was kicked out by Zhao Chen.

"Father, will you

It could be that today's battle in Hulu Valley was too cruel, so..." Li Ke and the emperor guessed.

The emperor said nothing, but secretly sighed in his heart.

He knew that Zhao Chen had always disagreed with the use of cruel weapons such as the sky-blasting cannon.

This time I was really helpless.

If they hadn't been retreating steadily and had no retreat, Zhao Chen would definitely not have taken out this object.

The lives of tens of thousands of people were lost in the blink of an eye. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no wave in our hearts.

But war is still war, and there is no room for mercy.

"You go and have a rest, I'll go see him." The emperor waved his hand, signaling the two of them to leave.

The two nodded and left.

When the emperor walked into the camp, he saw Zhao Chen wrapped in a quilt and looking at the candlelight in a daze.

"Still thinking about today's events?" Old Li Tou sat down next to Zhao Chen and asked slowly.

Zhao Chen didn't speak, and didn't even turn his head.

Seeing that Zhao Chen ignored him, Old Li Tou smiled bitterly.

"When I first took the throne as emperor, Jieli led the Turkic army to the Wei River and marched towards Chang'an."

"At that time, I didn't have any available soldiers, and I didn't dare to conflict with Jie Li."

"Behind me is Chang'an, where there are millions of people."

"There was no other way. I had to compromise with Jie Li and almost evacuate the entire palace of treasures, so that I could preserve them for a while."

"Since I followed the late emperor in revolt, I have never compromised once, except that time."

"I can't sleep all night long, but I have no choice. If I only care about myself, millions of people in Chang'an will be killed and injured."

"As a king, you care about the overall situation."

"Today, although you killed tens of thousands of people, you saved millions of people in the Tang Dynasty."

"If you are guilty in the future, I will bear it with you." The emperor's voice slowly sounded in the camp.

It seemed like he was just talking to himself, but also seemed to be comforting Zhao Chen.
