In shock, Xue Rengui had to slow down his horse and stared at Tumidu with a pair of tiger eyes.
The result of the discussion last night was that this guy secretly sneaked back to the headquarters, led his troops to rebel in front of the formation, and assisted the Tang army in capturing Bazhuo. How could he be mixed up with Bazhuo in the blink of an eye?
Ba Zhuo really wants to surrender...
Tu Midu was also sweating a little. Looking at the Tang Army's cavalry charging in like a flood, he couldn't help but feel guilty, fearing that Xue Rengui was so eager to perform meritorious deeds that he would chop himself into pieces without stopping. Seeing Xue Rengui, he slowed down his horse.
, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran up to Xue Rengui's horse and said loudly: "General Xue, Bazhuo is willing to lead his troops to surrender to the Tang army. I only ask for his life and let him live!"
Ba Zhuo was only wearing a robe and had no armor or weapons. At this time, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "I am willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty and be at the disposal of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If I have any different aspirations, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Xue Rengui raised the gilded phoenix-winged boring machine high in his hand and shouted: "Stop!"
The charging soldiers slowly slowed down and gathered behind him inexplicably, looking at Ba Zhuo who was kneeling on one knee in front of the enemy's tent, taking off his armor.
The sound of fighting all around was earth-shattering, but there was silence here.
The situation is extremely strange...
Xue Rengui glanced at the fighting around him, then stared straight at Tumidu, and asked in a deep voice: "Tumidu, what are you doing?"
Tu Midu said hurriedly: "It's not that I was playing tricks. In fact, as soon as I returned to the Uighur headquarters last night, I was discovered by Ba Zhuo. I thought that the matter was exposed, but I only wanted to die to serve the Tang Dynasty... Unexpectedly, Ba Zhuo did not kill him.
I just want to introduce you to the Tang Dynasty, and I am willing to attach myself to the Tang Dynasty, give up the position of Xue Yantuo Khan, and respect the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain from generation to generation! I thought that since there is no need to fight life and death, it is always a good thing. After all, any warrior of the Tang Dynasty
Any loss in this Dragon City is an irreparable loss... so I agreed to him."
Xue Rengui frowned.
Naturally, he didn't believe Tumidu's words...
But what we need to consider now is whether to fight this battle or not, whether to kill by drawing and burning or not to kill?
After pondering for a while, Xue Rengui looked at Ba Zhuo and said, "Immediately order Xue Yantuo's army to retreat and stop fighting!"
Without saying a word, Bazhuo immediately called a few close confidants and gave them some instructions. These close confidants then ran in all directions to convey the Khan's orders to the various armies.
Seeing that he was so straightforward, Xue Rengui also sent people to inform Fang Jun and ordered the army to stop attacking.
After a while, the soldiers from both sides who were fighting fiercely retreated in confusion. A blank space was created in the middle and they ceased fighting.
The Tang army was a little angry. What happened to these generals?
Because they were well prepared, they suddenly launched an attack. Xue Yantuo's army responded hastily and was immediately at a disadvantage. As long as they continued to attack fiercely for a while, Xue Yantuo's army, which was already in disarray, was bound to be defeated. They were defeated like a mountain and there was no way to recover.
At this moment, I had the upper hand, but was ordered to stop the attack...
How can you not be depressed?
But on the battlefield, no one dares to disobey military orders.
Xue Yantuo was greatly relieved. The bravery of the Tang army was far beyond imagination. The black iron lumps were lit on fire and thrown away. After the explosion, everyone within a few feet was killed. In addition, the sky was filled with arrows like locusts.
Just one charge made Xue Yantuo's soldiers feel chilled and their morale was on the verge of collapse.
…
There was a commotion in the rear formation. Xue Rengui looked back and saw the army branching out into a passage. Fang Jun and his entourage were riding in. The sound of hoofbeats was heard and they were approaching in a blink of an eye.
Xue Rengui rode forward and whispered the matter beside Fang Jun.
Fang Jun frowned with a pair of thick eyebrows. His face was calm and intimidating. He looked at Ba Zhuo and then at Tu Midu. After a long while, he slowly nodded and said, "Let Ba Zhuo order all Xue Yantuo's soldiers to put down their weapons and surrender on the spot."
, accept the disposal of Tang Jun!"
"Here!"
Xue Rengui accepted the order, turned his horse's head back to the front of the formation, and shouted at Bazhuo: "The commander-in-chief has an order. I order you to immediately order all Xue Yantuo's soldiers to put down their weapons, surrender on the spot, and accept the disposal of the Tang army. Do not act rashly!"
Ba Zhuo hesitated slightly.
There is no need to hesitate. What if I order the troops to put down their weapons, but the Tang army suddenly attacks them? Wouldn't they just stand there and wait to die?
Tu Midu was very anxious and quickly advised: "Don't make a mistake, Khan! The Tang army is strong. Even if we fight to the death, we will be defeated in the end! How can we use our corpses to fight for Tumochina and others?"
Is a villain who has betrayed his ancestors and abandoned his clan for profit paving the way to heaven? Don't worry, Khan, Fang Junsu keeps his word and is very trustworthy. Since he has accepted Khan's submission, he will definitely not kill him suddenly and break his trust.
The world!"
Ba Zhuo raised his head and his eyes fell on Tuo Mozhi who was riding a horse behind Fang Jun. A burst of rage surged up, and he wished he could rush forward at this moment and cut this beast into pieces and eat him alive!
The original plan was to retreat into the mountains immediately if things couldn't be done, and rely on one's own prestige to lead the remaining soldiers to deal with the Tang army. Even if a large-scale frontal battle could not defeat the Tang army, the constant sneak attacks and harassment by small groups would still make the Tang army unbearable.
The disturbance eventually led to the withdrawal of troops.
As long as the Tang army withdraws from Mobei, no matter which tribe helps the Tang army rule this vast area, Bazhuo is confident that he will lead Xue Yantuo's tribe to annihilate them!
But now Du Mozhi unexpectedly defected to the Tang Dynasty...
Although this person does not have much prestige, he is a bloodline of the Khan family after all and has a certain appeal. Especially with the support of the Tang army behind him, many tribesmen who are greedy for life and fear of death will definitely come to seek refuge. By then Xue Yantuo will be divided into two
, the already declining forces are now divided. Forget about unifying Mobei, I am afraid that the Huihe and other tribes will impatiently pounce on Xue Yantuo, including his skin and flesh...
Now that the matter has come to this, we must make a decision when the opportunity arises. We must not give the rebels a chance to rise!
Ba Zhuo made up his mind and immediately ordered all Xue Yantuo's soldiers to put down their weapons on the spot and accept the disposal of the Tang army.
Seeing the enemies in front of them throwing their weapons to the ground one by one, and then squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, Tang Jun let out a burst of earth-shattering cheers!
Win!
We thought it would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, the enemy actually surrendered on the battlefield. The victory came so unexpectedly that the entire Tang army was in disbelief.
But the victory was already certain, so a general quickly commanded the soldiers to come forward and collect all the weapons, and then ordered Xue Yantuo's soldiers to stand in groups, and the Tang army would separate them and monitor them closely to prevent them from causing trouble.
At this point, the battle situation has been decided.
The countermeasures that Fang Jun and others discussed overnight were of no use at all. No one expected that Ba Zhuo, who was supposed to resist desperately, would surrender so simply...
Everyone looked happy. Fighting meant casualties. Wouldn't it be great to be able to overthrow Xue Yantuo without any bloodshed and capture all the last remaining soldiers of Xue Yantuo?
Only Tuo Mo Zhi had a gloomy face and a worried heart.
The value of his existence lies in his ability to replace Bazhuo and gather the remnants of Xue Yantuo, obey the orders and submit to the Tang Dynasty, so that after Xue Yantuo's fall, he will not be able to cause any trouble to the Tang army. From then on, there will no longer be any force openly opposed to the Tang army in the Mobei region.
But now that Bazhuo has surrendered decisively, Fang Jun will definitely pay attention to him.
After all, compared to him, Bazhuo is the one who is more suitable to rule all the Xueyantuo people and surrender to the Tang Dynasty. What's more, Bazhuo also has the identity of a khan. Regardless of whether he killed his brothers and robbed him, he has obtained it anyway.
With the approval of Xueyantuo's tribe, he is the de facto Xueyantuo Khan.
The Khan of a country led his army to surrender, and the Tang army could not refuse to accept it. If in turn he tried to murder Bazhuo, from now on, when the Tang Dynasty is at war with other countries, who will surrender when the war situation is unfavorable?
Since we have to guard against being killed by the Tang army even after surrendering, we might as well fight to the end, destroy the fish to the death, and destroy both the jade and the stone...
It is foreseeable that Ba Zhuo will receive very kind care from the Tang army. Even if it costs a thousand gold to buy horse bones, Ba Zhuo's status can be guaranteed.
As a result, I seem a bit redundant...
Fang Jun would probably not kill him. No one would kill a useless person who surrendered voluntarily. This would not do any good except ruining his own reputation.
But if Fang Jun doesn't kill him, how can Bazhuo tolerate him?
If he had not surrendered to the Tang army and was willing to help the Tang army gather the remaining troops after Xue Yantuo's defeat, Bazhuoda could have calmly retreated to Langjuxu Mountain and led his tribe to continue fighting against the Tang army. Even though his power would have been greatly damaged by then, all his subordinates would have dispersed.
I don’t know how many people there are, but Xue Yantuo Khan is still free at any rate!
How can you put down all your dignity like now and have to beg for mercy in front of the Tang army?
It is conceivable that Ba Zhuo must be eager to skin him and cut him into pieces...
