Chapter 59 The Savior of the Western Regions
Upper Kabul River, West Bank.
Mosremasa looked at the blazing flames in front of her and took a deep breath, not thinking about this annoying failure.
If you continue to fight, Mosremasa may not have no chance to turn defeat into victory, but if you really want to fight the lion army in your hands, why should you compete with Pei Min next?
Besides that guy...
Mosremasa is rampant in the world and never knows how to write the word "fear" in this life. Now when Pei Min thinks of it, he can't help but shudder. He feels a little scared. Since he met him, he has not gained any advantage.
Originally, he planned to lure the enemy into the depths, use their Arab pirated "Greek Fire" to teach the Tang army a lesson, and save them by the way.
But I didn't expect the Tang army to pursue it in a very organized manner. In addition to causing the most casualties, I would never be greedy for too many people and stop at the right time.
Mosremasa also realized that his strategy was not available. The five war elephants transporting black oil have now become prisoners of the Tang army, and they are not lucky to go back.
He simply set off a fire and completely blocked the Tang army's pursuit so that he could retreat calmly.
At the same time, Feng Changqing looked at the flames in front of the sky blocking the road, and felt a little scared in his heart, and couldn't help but think: Fortunately, Pei Shuai reminded him that he was also more careful. If he really didn't pay attention to these things on the ground, he would probably be buried in the fire.
That night, Pei Min walked out of the medical tent and looked at the stars in the sky and breathed a long breath.
They won this battle, but they also paid a certain price.
Two generals of the military commander level were killed and one seriously injured. Wang Hu, who was lying on the left and Zhang Jingshu who was lying on the right, were killed one after another.
Wang Hu died at the hands of Yahan, Pei Min saw it with his own eyes. As for Zhang Ing-sun, when Pei Min went to deal with the war elephant, Mosremasa unfortunately shot the trickle arrow when he attacked the right wing of the Tang army.
As for the seriously injured person, it is Zhehuchen.
When Zhehuchen used the technique of fighting against the enemy to gain an advantage, he met Yisilus's Sassanian Iron Armored Cavalry.
Zhehuchen and Yi Silusi met in the formation.
Zhe Huchen slashed Yi Silusi's shoulder with a knife, and Yi Silusi rubbed Zhe Huchen's waist.
Both of them fought to the point of losing both sides.
It is not clear how much Yi Silusi was injured, but Zhe Huchen's waist injury was not even allowed to get out of bed for less than three months.
The only thing that is worth being happy is Li Siye. Li Siye is already awake, but he is unable to move all over.
However, the military doctor said that Li Siye was not seriously injured, but he was exhausted too much, and he could relieve it by resting well.
Pei Min knew some reasons. To use later generations’ knowledge, the human body has many tiny nerve fibers. If a person exercises excessively, the nerve fibers will break, causing local pain or even injury.
Human body cells have memory regeneration function, and this damage can heal itself.
Moreover, by constantly healing itself, nerve fibers will become more tough, which is why the more you exercise, the stronger you become.
With Li Siye's monster-like body, he should be able to recover soon.
As for minor injuries, there are countless patients.
Such fierce and tragic battles, if there is no injury on the front line, I would be embarrassed to say it.
After two days of sorting, Zhang Xiaosong, who was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, prepared the results of cleaning the battlefield into a list and handed them to Pei Min.
Pei Min was mentally prepared, but looking at the list of battle reports in her hand, she couldn't help but gasp.
According to statistics, there were as many as 12,300 corpses of soldiers left on the battlefield in Arabia, which was a real number of casualties, not including serious injuries and minor injuries.
The Tang army also lost 7,583 soldiers, and tens of thousands of serious and minor patients were injured.
Pei Min fought for so many years, but in terms of tragic strife, today's battle is the worst.
Two generals were lost in a row, with nearly 50,000 soldiers, and more than 20,000 casualties, and only the battle was damaged by more than 7,000.
Of course, the cost of Arabia is even greater. It would be great if half of the 50,000 soldiers could return to Peshawar.
As for the general's losses, a weak and powerful man, a hard-working Nappman, and a pioneer Gabitt. As for the more school officials, they are obviously better than the Tang Dynasty.
Overall, it is an unquestionable victory.
This victory also established Pei Min's supreme position in the Western Regions.
Arabia's territory is too wide and its power is too huge.
They swept across India with a destructive attitude, allowing the countries in the Western Regions to realize the terror of this Western power.
On the surface, no one of the countries said it, but he knew very well in his heart that if there were no Tang Dynasty, the fate of these dozen countries in the Western Regions would not be as good as that of Tianzhu.
At the same time, the core of the Tang Dynasty was always China, not the Western Regions.
The countries in the Western Regions are uncertain whether the Tang Dynasty will be the same as Wu Zetian gave up on the Western Regions. How could he not worry in his heart?
Pei Min's arrival gave them and a cardiotropic agent, but that was not enough.
Until today, Pei Min defeated Arabia and defeated the Lion King who swept the West and was invincible, and the situation was completely different.
Before, Pei Min joined forces with Anxi, which had left a deep impression on the kings of the Western Regions.
Now when he comes again, he is not only the veritable King of the Western Regions, but also with his own strength on the battlefield, his prestige has instantly increased by several levels, becoming the savior in the hearts of the countries in the Western Regions.
Under Li Linfu's operation, the kings of all countries in the Western Regions gathered in Hesina City, intending to celebrate Pei Min's merits.
Pei Min didn't like this kind of occasion, but he also knew that he had to go to this celebration banquet.
Today's battle is just an appetizer, and the next long tug-of-war is the highlight.
Pei Min was not so stupid that he resisted all the pressure by himself, while the countries in the Western Regions were watching the show in the rear.
The countries in the Western Regions must send troops to help.
With his talent and the tiger skin of Pei Min, Li Linfu regarded it as a guest of honor among the Western Regions countries. He traveled back and forth, and not only made a lot of money, but also brought the relationship between the countries and the Tang Dynasty closer. This banquet was the result of Li Linfu's hand.
On the surface, this was a celebration banquet, but in fact it was a loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
If Pei Min wants to control the army of the countries in the Western Regions, he must first accept their loyalty.
Even if it is insincere loyalty, it is a good thing.
As long as they control their troops, everything doesn't matter.
As always, the main power among General Pei Min was handed over to Feng Changqing, and at the same time, Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi were ordered to assist.
When he was not here, Feng Changqing was respected, Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi were deputy, and were responsible for the defense line of the entire Kabul River.
"According to my estimate, the lion should not come again. But don't be careless, maybe that guy is terrified again. In short, no matter what, he can't give him an opportunity to take advantage of it."
