In the wind and snow, the swords were like forests, and the Tang army advanced in formation like a wall. The brave and capable Arab cavalry, which usually spanned Europe and Asia, retreated steadily, completely defeated and unable to resist.
The Mo Dao Formation is the nemesis of the cavalry. The sharp and huge Mo Dao can not only inflict huge damage to soldiers and horses, but also offset the impact of the cavalry. The role of the Thunderbolt is not only to kill enemy soldiers, but also to make their organization unstable.
Launch an effective offensive.
Unable to take advantage of the cavalry's mass charge, they were left waiting to be slaughtered in the face of the Mo Dao Formation.
The Tang army's advance was not fast, but it was a steady one. The soldiers stepped on the enemy's stumps and broken arms on the ground, and the ice slag that was melted by blood and about to freeze. They advanced towards the Arabs' constant oppression, and the forest-like swords came at them.
Here and there, the Arabs screamed in agony and abandoned their armor.
In the direction of the mouth of the ditch, although the Uighurs' positions were dispersed, they fought to the death and blocked the Turks at the mouth of the ditch.
The Turks were attacked from both sides. Although they knew they could only escape by breaking through the Uighur positions, the Arabs behind them had already entered the rear formation. They couldn't just rush forward and ignore the machetes coming from behind, right? More and more.
Seeing that more and more Turks could not break through the Uighurs' positions and could not be easily killed by the Arabs' scimitars, they stopped their attacks one after another and turned around to engage in a melee with the Arabs.
In this way, the pressure on the Uighur people was greatly reduced.
The most uncomfortable ones are the Arabs...
The power of the Tang Army's Mo Dao Formation and firearms made the Arabs terrified and heartbroken. Just as they were about to organize a wave of offensive counterattacks, they were blown to pieces by thunderbolts falling from the sky. In desperation, they had no choice but to break through to the direction of the Mizoguchi.
However, the Turks were blocked by the Uighurs and could not rush out. They did not want to be lambs to be slaughtered, so they turned back to prevent the Arabs from rushing into their formation and killing them wantonly.
The Turks were in the front and the Tang army was in the back, sandwiching the Arabs in the middle. It can be said that there were tigers at the front door and wolves at the back door, and they were defeated.
The arrogant Arabs rushed for hundreds of miles, hoping to annihilate the most elite legion of the Tang Army in one fell swoop, but they never expected to face such a desperate situation in this valley...
The entire army of Youtunwei was extremely excited. They were originally in a dilemma, but suddenly the clouds cleared and the moon became clear. Not only did they get rid of the two powerful enemies, but they also won a great victory. Who could have imagined a few days ago?
At that moment, the sky-shattering thunder opened the way, blasting the Arabs until they howled like wolves, and then the Mosaic Sword Formation advanced, leaving broken limbs and broken arms with blood splattering everywhere they went, in an unparalleled ferocity.
The Mo Dao Formation of Youtun Guard failed to come in handy in the battle of Bugu. He was holding his breath, and now it was put to use. Everyone was full of energy and murderous intent, and the broad and sharp Mo Dao was turned horizontally.
Flying, the enemy soldiers and horses in front of him were all smashed into pieces, and the killing was so smooth that he didn't feel tired at all.
This battle started before dawn and ended at noon, with Youtun Wei winning a complete victory.
Because the Arabs were caught between the Turks and the Youtun Guards, they had no way to go from heaven to earth. Except for a few people who were captured, thousands of them were wiped out. The situation of the Turks was not much better, with scattered
The Turks took advantage of the chaos to break out. Apart from frightening the Uighur people, they could not make any waves.
Youtunwei sat on the mountain and watched the tiger, made a decision and then moved, joining the battlefield when the three parties were fighting endlessly, deciding the overall situation in one fell swoop, and the casualties were almost negligible.
On the other hand, the Uighurs suffered heavy casualties because they defended the mouth of the ditch to resist the Turks' mad charge...
*****
The snow is still falling heavily.
In Alagou, soldiers of the Tang Army were cleaning the battlefield, collecting enemy weapons and horses, and the most important thing was to collect the corpses in one place, burn them, and bury them. Although this place is remote, the corpses of men and horses cannot be discarded at will, otherwise they will be civilized in the coming year.
, it is very easy to cause epidemics. If business travelers or herdsmen travel here and are infected with the disease, and then spread to densely populated areas, the consequences will be disastrous.
Given the medical conditions and administrative management of the Western Region, once an epidemic occurs, it often means that a city or even a small country will be depopulated and completely annihilated...
Pei Xingjian was busy recording the seizures. After he came to an end, he walked up to Fang Jun with a sullen face and said: "The Turks suffered all casualties, but the horses they captured all bear the mark of the Tang Dynasty Racecourse."
Fang Jun's face dropped like water.
He naturally knew what this meant.
Those Guanlongmen not only handed over Baishui Town to the Arabs just to annihilate the Youtun Guards, but also provided thousands of war horses to the Turks...
The sentence "collaboration with the enemy and treason" can hardly cover the serious crime of Guanlong clan.
If things were normal, after his war report arrived in Chang'an, an investigation jointly led by the "Three Law Divisions" of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai would have started vigorously, and all those involved in the case would have been arrested and imprisoned, and tortured and interrogated.
However, at this point in time, this matter may be suppressed.
—————
His Majesty Li Er went on an expedition to Liaodong and has not yet returned to Beijing. With the prestige and power of the prince, once this matter is brought to the court in a grand manner, it will be equivalent to a complete break with the Guanlong clan. Faced with the crime of treason, it is possible to "execute" or even "execute"
Under the situation of "the three tribes of Yi", the Guanlong clan will naturally not sit still and wait for death.
It is unthinkable that a "military remonstrance" will break out in Chang'an City, causing chaos in the world, wars everywhere, and the beautiful situation of great unification breaking down in an instant...
However, this matter cannot be suppressed simply by trying to suppress it.
Since he is not dead and the Youtun Guards are unscathed, the Guanlong Clan's conspiracy will inevitably be exposed to the public, and the crime of treason cannot be washed away. Even if the Crown Prince does not pursue the case today, when His Majesty Li Er returns to Beijing, he will still be completely liquidated.
Guan Longmen still won't sit still and wait for death.
It is no exaggeration to describe the situation between North Korea and China as "precarious"...
After pondering for a long time, Fang Jun just sighed and said: "Collect all the evidence and send them back to Chang'an together. How to make the decision will be discussed by His Highness the Crown Prince and all the ministers."
This matter was not something he could bear if he wanted to for the prince. It was related to "treason", and it may not even be without the suspicion of "treason". It was definitely not something he, a minister, could interfere with.
If you rely on the trust of the prince and intervene arbitrarily, that is the way to death.
No matter how kind or cowardly the monarch is, he will never allow his ministers to get involved in the "imperial power"...
Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "Here! Let's do it now."
Fang Jun then ordered: "Immediately send a brigade of soldiers to Jiaohe City to assist Cheng Wuting in taking control of the city, detain the Guanlong disciples, and then screen them one by one. Anyone suspected of participating in this matter will be imprisoned, and then taken to Chang'an to wait for the court.
Decision."
"Here!"
Pei Xingjian quickly followed the order.
The reason why the Guanlong clan acted so rampantly and no one could check or balance it was precisely because they controlled most of the power of the Anxi Protectorate. Even Li Xiaogong had to retreat, which is evident from this.
It can be said that everything in Jiaohe City is in ruins.
If these silverfish cannot be eliminated one by one, there will be future troubles. And if the rear is unstable, how can the war in the front be reversed?
Therefore, no matter how the imperial court decides on the Guanlong clan's "collaboration with the enemy and treason" and "conspiracy to murder Paoze", Jiaohe City must be cleaned from top to bottom.
In this way, we will have no worries until Youtun Wei marches westward to Gongyue City.
When Pei Xingjian took the order and left, Fang Jun rubbed his hands that were almost frozen, walked to Tumidu who was standing under a big tree and said with a smile: "This battle can annihilate the two powerful forces, the Turks and the Arabs."
The enemy, Huihe has done the most great work. I have already reported Huihe's bravery and fearlessness in detail in the battle report. I believe that the reward from the court will arrive in the near future. Khan can rest assured that the Japanese commander's promise will not change. When this battle is over,
I will definitely help Huihe go to Khotan. In the future, whenever the Khan needs help, I will never hesitate to say anything."
Tumidu watched the soldiers around him collect the corpses of the fallen tribesmen, burn them and bury them. Hearing Fang Jun's words, he felt like crying without tears.
Your promise?
What a crap promise you made!
You bastard talks nicely, but in the blink of an eye, don't you still treat us Huihe people as cannon fodder and make us risk our lives to block the Turks?
That's all, but your delay in sending troops allowed Ashina Helu to break out, leaving the Uighurs now in dire straits...
Of course, even if he wanted to bite Fang Jun into pieces and eat him at this moment, he could only squeeze out a wry smile on his face and nodded: "Thank you, Marshal. Being able to fight for the Tang Dynasty is the highest honor for every Huihe disciple."
."
What can he do when people are under the roof?
At this moment, Ashina Helu has fled back to the north of the Tianshan Mountains. There is no doubt that the Uighurs will face crazy revenge from the Turks. At this time, they can only rely on Fang Jun to order the defenders of Luntai City to clear a road, so that
The Huihe people can migrate as a whole to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise they will be in danger of annihilation...
