Pei Xingjian of Anxi took advantage of his victory in the war and took advantage of the fact that there were corpses of Tubo people at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains to intimidate, so he took the Huihe kings and Turkic kings to visit the site.
Coupled with the darkness of the Anxi army behind them, it was very easy to scald one side of these people's hairy hearts with boiling water and scald the hair on these people's hearts clean.
After stabilizing the four towns of Anxi, as a thoughtful general of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally couldn't help but set his sights on his neighbor's dining table.
Although the food on the neighbor's table was not good, Pei Xingjian still wanted to go to the table to taste it.
Pei Xingjian is not the only one who has this idea. As an offensive general of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui did not want the soldiers of the Beiting Protectorate to stay after he had dealt with the internal affairs in the Beiting area.
In the Beiting, food and grass were wasted in vain.
In fact, the generals who guarded the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty were all generals who regarded offense as defense.
This habit did not start with them, but started after the Tang army entered the Western Regions during the Zhenguan period.
Why do the Turks here always rebel whenever they get the chance? In many cases, it has a lot to do with the aggressiveness of the generals of the Tang Dynasty who guarded the Western Regions.
Under the splendid power of "Tian Khan", the Turks did not know what would happen if they offended Tian Khan.
The reason why they rebelled was entirely because the generals of the Tang Dynasty were excessive in their pursuit of military glory. In Chang'an, there were more idle generals who were about to grow hairy, and the old commanders needed a place to show off their military power.
Back then, Jieli Khan oppressed the Tang Dynasty to the point where it could hardly breathe. Even Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was under threat from the Turks twice.
When the Tang Dynasty was weak, countless Tang generals and soldiers died at the hands of the Turks, and countless Tang people were plundered by the bandits.
This led to the fact that after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, it extorted the remnants of the Turks the most seriously.
Yun Chu himself grew up in the Western Regions. How could he not know how miserable the life of the Turkic people was.
This is why those Turkic royal families, who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, immediately rebelled when they came to the Western Regions or outside the country.
The main reason is that it is impossible not to rebel. Under the cruel exploitation of the Tang army, if you don't rebel, you can only watch the clan members die.
Even so, the ministers in the court still complained that the Tang generals in the Western Regions or outside the mouth were too kind to the Turks...
Now, Pei Xingjian is the Protector of Anxi and Xue Rengui is the Protector of Beiting. With these two famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic tribes do not dare to have the heart to rebel even though their life is very miserable.
To rebel now or not to rebel, the difference is whether you die now or die later.
They choose to die later...
The Western Region is very large, but there are countless oases. Herders need grassland for grazing and places with abundant water for farming.
Therefore, in the past few years, the Turks have traveled farther and farther, and the farthest Turkic tribe has crossed the river.
Yunchu estimated that if the Tang Dynasty continued to treat the Turks like this, they would probably continue to move westward to avoid the man-eating beast of the Tang Dynasty.
If all the Turks escape, then the only ones who can pose a threat to Chang'an are the Tibetans.
When Li Zhi figured out what the air plague was, and trained troops according to its nature that could fight on the plateau, the catastrophe of Tubo was just around the corner.
Li Zhi would not allow the Tubo people to condescendingly come down from the plateau, harm the people of Tang Dynasty, and then run back to the plateau, leaving the Tang army helpless.
Yunchu even suspected that the fact that the Qinling Mausoleum traveled through the Kunlun Mountains Tunnel to the Western Regions this time was not necessarily the result of Li Zhi sending people to operate in Tubo.
For now, if the Tang people cannot go up to the plateau, then luring the Tubo people down from the plateau is also an option. In the Western Regions, it is also an option to meet the most elite troops and the best generals of the Tang Dynasty.
In short, he would not let the Tubo people stay on the plateau to accumulate strength, gradually become stronger, and eventually threaten the Tang Dynasty.
The current Tang Dynasty is very different from the Tang Dynasty he knew.
Although the Tang Dynasty in the history books is equally glorious at this moment, it is not as calm as the Tang Dynasty now.
Since the destruction of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla in World War I, Li Zhi's ambitions have become boundless.
This can be seen from the fact that Luoyang was changed into the capital of the gods.
The capital of gods, the capital of gods, the capital of the kingdom of gods.
A city that has spent a lot of money to build for eight consecutive years can now indeed be called the capital of the gods.
Yun Chu thought of this and retracted his thoughts. There was still a battle ahead.
The city in front of us is not big, it can even be said to be very small. This rammed earth city is only two feet high and only five miles around. It is called Jieshi City.
But this small city has blocked Yunchu's army for two hours.
Before attacking this city, Yunchu's army had already captured six cities without any blood.
Unfortunately, after each city was captured, Yun Chu discovered that these cities were all horribly poor.
Only the city lord's palace still has some food. The rest of the people, like the people of the Buddha Kingdom, have also been affected by the white disaster and are currently starved of food.
Fortunately, Yunchu had no intention of taking over these cities at all, so he predatorily took away all the edible food in these six cities, and then distributed it to the army and the hungry local people.
This meant that after conquering a city, his army could only have enough food for one day at most, and then had to continue running for the next meal.
The resistance in Jieshi City is very fierce, which is very interesting. In the Western Region, under normal circumstances, if the things in the city are not enough for people to risk their lives to defend, they will surrender.
Now, Jieshi City's resistance is so fierce, which means that there must be something in the city worthy of these people's desperate protection.
Yun Chu looked at the people climbing towards the top of the city like ants, feeling slightly uncomfortable in his heart.
Coercing the refugees and then letting them take the lead in attacking the city does not seem to be what a regular general should do.
He gave a gentle but decisive order and ordered the Westerners from the six cities to launch an attack on Jieshi City.
The only thing that was more civilized than the brutal generals recorded in history books was that all those responsible for attacking the city were men, and there were no women or children.
Looking at a refugee who was stabbed down with a spear just after he climbed to the top of the city, Yun Chu couldn't help but look at General Wen Geng, who was concentrating on checking the situation of the battle.
With a gentle and focused expression, he showed no sympathy for the refugees who died under the city. Feeling that Yun Chu was looking at him, he said coldly: "There are still arrows and stones falling from the top of the city, and the enemy is not tired yet.
"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "There is no need. Overprotecting the Tang army will make them forget how to fight. In the end, these people will turn into beasts.
Order Liang Ying to lead the attack. It would be good for us to capture this city as soon as possible and have a full meal."
Gentle said in confusion: "Isn't it right for me to command the army to fight like this?"
Yun Chu rode his horse towards the edge of the city and said to Wen Wen: "The honor of the military must be preserved. We are not a bunch of rabble."
Wen Wen said: "That's not what the military strategy says."
Yun Chu laughed and said, "Do you still remember how Lord Monkey dealt with those twelve horse thieves?
Why did he kill those people?
Just because those people can no longer be called human beings and there is no way to eliminate the animal nature in their hearts, we have to kill them. Otherwise, the Buddhist Kingdom will never become a Buddhist Kingdom and will become a Demonic Kingdom."
When Liang Ying saw Wen Wen waving the black flag, he inserted the horizontal knife into the strap on his back. When the archers behind him began to rain arrows on the city, he swung the climbing hook to hook himself on the city.
He grabbed the rope and climbed towards the top of the city like an ape.
At the same time, Xiao Yuhua and the old thieves of the Tang Dynasty also threw out the hook locks in their hands and began to climb.
The two-foot-high city wall, for people like Liang Ying, only needs to grab the rope and climb three to five times to reach the top of the city wall, which only takes a moment.
Just when Liang Ying, Xiao Yuhua and the others climbed to the top of the city almost without losing a fight and began to expand their victory, the gate of Jieshi City suddenly opened wide, and hundreds of cavalry wearing bright silver armor and shining pointed helmets came from Jieshi City.
Rushing out, trampling on the corpses of the refugees, rushing out with diagonal thrusts, trying to escape from Jieshi City.
Seeing these people rushing left and right in the crowd of refugees, the gentle entourage blew the horn. After the refugees heard the horn sound, they immediately dispersed, bypassed the cavalry, and headed towards Jieshi City.
Drill inside.
This is the only command they are willing to hear. As long as the trumpet sounds, they can retreat.
The refugees got out of the way, but the cavalry did not take the opportunity to escape. Instead, they regrouped the originally scattered team. The leading knight with a bright red tassel on his head looked warily at the group of black armored cavalry standing on the wasteland.
Yun Chu smiled and waved his hand, and the two hundred black-armored cavalry urged their horses to rush toward the hundred or ten armored cavalry with bumpy steps.
The horses of the black-armored cavalry were getting faster and faster. When the distance between the two armies was less than a hundred steps, the black-armored cavalry put down their hoods, held their horses and spears under their ribs, and collided with each other in an arrow formation.
To those armored cavalry.
At the same time, twenty more rangers rushed out from the group of black-armored cavalry. They held strong bows in their hands and spread out to the left and right to avoid the charging black-armored cavalry. They loosened their reins and controlled the horses with their legs and hands.
He drew his bow and fired at the group of armored knights, intending to open a gap for the charging black-armored knights.
Wen Wen looked at the cavalrymen who had been shot through their armor by strong bows and fell off their horses, and said to Yun Chu, "Why not use thunder and fire bullets?" Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Let's take a look first."
As he spoke, the two cavalrymen collided with each other. Because they did not have the spears used by the cavalry, the cavalrymen in strange iron armor were at a great disadvantage. The black-armored cavalrymen's horseshoes were pierced on their armors, and they could not enter for a moment. The long
The horse was pushed into a curved bow. When the strength of the two horses continued to increase, the horse suddenly stabbed into the enemy's body and came out from the back.
As for those spears, after being pressed against the armored knights, due to their lack of toughness, the black armored cavalry could not hold the spears with the strength of the two war horses. They all let go and faced the armored cavalry's scimitar with their horizontal swords.
After the battle between the scimitar and the Hengdao, the scimitar was not cut off by the Hengdao. This scene made Yun Chu's eyes gradually narrow. He was now very sure that this cavalry was not the Western Region cavalry. The quality of their weapons
