The snow was falling heavily, and the snow was deep in the wilderness, but it could not stop the galloping speed of the war horses. Fang Jun was slightly behind, guarded by his troops in the middle, while Wang Fangyi took the lead and ran up the distant mountain ridge, and then rushed desperately
Move your war horse and accelerate crazily along the hillside.
Under the mountains, a large cannibal camp was set up in the lee. The sound of cavalry charging down the hillside alarmed the camp. Countless figures scrambled out of their tents, shouting in panic. Some people returned to the tents to get some.
To get their weapons, some people ran to the stables and took out their horses. The sudden surprise caused chaos in the entire camp.
The Tang army galloped down the hillside, their horses' hooves picking up the snow, and the entire team swept over them like a galloping snow dragon, arriving suddenly in the panic of the cannibal.
The soldier who was at the forefront laid his body on the horse's back to avoid the sporadic arrows. Then he clamped the horse's belly, lifted the reins, and the horse leaped into the air with all four hooves, leaping straight into the big man-eating camp, blocking the way.
The barbarians were knocked violently and flew away, and the rest fled in panic. When the horses galloped past, a horizontal knife had already scratched their bodies.
With the sound of hooves rumbling and blood splattering, the big cannibal who was caught off guard failed to organize his troops in time to block the Tang army. The Tang army's cavalry broke into the camp and was brutally killed.
No one knows why the Tang Army appeared here. The cannibal officer was unprepared and had no time to organize an army to defend himself. He returned to the camp and picked up his machete. As soon as he walked out, he saw the Tang Army cavalry whizzing past in front of him, with iron hoofs splashing.
The ice and snow hit his face, but it was not as cold and stinging as the sharp blade on his neck. Before he could cover his neck, the big head had already rolled to the ground, and the boiling blood rose into the sky and splashed down again.
Underfoot, the ice and snow melted.
The Tang army entered from the front gate of the camp. Thousands of men and horses were galloping and wreaking havoc. The enemy troops were screaming and wailing under their iron hooves. Suddenly, they came out from the back door and killed one Tongtong. However, the Tang army did not escape quickly, but turned back.
They spread out and slaughtered the fish that slipped through the net one by one, then cut off their heads and hung them on the saddles. Then they lit the fire and ignited the tent's provisions. When the flames soared into the sky, they calmly retreated and walked away.
It was not until an hour later that the large cannibal army arrived at the camp after hearing the news. Seeing the corpses everywhere, the officer hurriedly ordered a search for grain. When he learned that the grain had been turned into scorched earth by fire, his face became gloomy and furious.
.
The weather is getting colder and colder, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, but the beginning of spring is far away. Due to the successive sneak attacks by the Tang army, countless grain supplies were burned.
He even talked about his lack and continued to lose weight.
If food could no longer be replenished, the army would have to slaughter war horses to use as rations. And if there were no war horses, what would the Dashi army do to resist the Tang army's cavalry?
Ye Zide could only continue to send troops to the places where the Hu tribes inhabited in the Western Regions to plunder grain and fodder, so as to maintain the daily supply of the army.
This move caused untold misery to the Hu people in West Lake.
When the Great Eaters entered the Western Regions, the Anxi army was retreating steadily. The West Lake Hu people, who had long been dissatisfied with the rule of the Tang Dynasty, were secretly happy and even did not set off firecrackers to welcome the invasion of the Great Eaters. In their view, the control of the Great Eaters
Far inferior to the Tang Dynasty, even if they invaded the Western Regions, they probably only focused on the interests of the Silk Road, and may not have much interest in controlling the entire Western Regions.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were different. What the Tang people wanted was not only the benefits of the Silk Road, but also the inclusion of the Western Regions within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. All Hu people had to follow the Tang people's household registration system and pay taxes on a per capita basis. This made the Hu people of all tribes
He was extremely disgusted, but he was afraid of the might of the Tang army, so he had to compromise.
At present, the cannibalism is overwhelming, and he is simply a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!
Even though the cannibal's baggage camp was later attacked by the Anxi Army, resulting in a serious shortage of food and fodder, which had to be confiscated and plundered from various Hu tribes, most of the Hu people still preferred to be exploited and plundered by the cannibal and fully supported it.
Cannibalism could completely drive the Tang people out of the Western Regions.
And this camp that was flattened by the Tang army was an army that was ordered to go to the nearby Hu tribe to collect grain and fodder. Now not only the entire camp was slaughtered by the Tang army, but even the grain and fodder that had just been collected was burned. How can we return to Ye
A business trip to Qide?
What is particularly important is that this place is two hundred miles away from Gongyue City. It is snowing heavily and it is difficult to travel, but the Tang army suddenly appears here. It can be seen that such sneak attacks will inevitably become the norm in the future, and the Dashi army will try to attack the nearby Hu tribe again.
It will be extremely difficult to collect grain and fodder, and if you are not careful, you will be slaughtered.
Even more importantly, if the Tang army continued to send cavalry troops around to harass the Hu tribes and threaten them not to supply food to the Dashi army, the Dashi army would be even more difficult...
…
The Tang army raided the cannibal camp, and after succeeding, they retreated all the way north, galloping for hundreds of miles, and arrived at a tribe on the edge of the Tulum Moraine.
A large number of cavalry came with great momentum, immediately alarming the entire tribe. The men picked up their bows, arrows, knives and forks, while the women took their children and hid in a simple shack. When they saw the sophisticated armor on the cavalry, the horizontal knives in their hands, and the bows behind their backs,
The crossbows, and the red tassels on the Doudan leaping and swaying in the wind and snow, the whole tribe was astonished, and not only secretly cried out in pain.
Yesterday, the food warriors plundered most of the tribe's food. Today, the Tang soldiers came with great force. It is clear what their intentions are...
When thousands of Tang army cavalry surrounded the tribe of more than a thousand people, the tribal leader had no choice but to yell at the tribesmen to put down their weapons and go out to meet the Tang army generals in person.
Resistance is absolutely impossible. Although the Tang army is not as ferocious as the Turks and Dashi, who often slaughter tribesmen, once they disobey their orders, the punishment is extremely severe. Especially the Tang army is powerful in combat. Facing the Turks and Dashi,
Sometimes it might be possible to fight and escape at the same time, but against the Tang army's cavalry, there is absolutely no reason to be lucky.
Fortunately, this Tang army only surrounded the tribe and did not start a killing spree immediately, which means that there is still room for discussion...
The tribal leader came to the Tang army, bowed his arms to the ground with Tang etiquette, and spoke in fluent Chinese: "I wonder who is the general? It's so cold, the sky is full of wind and snow, and the heavenly army has come from afar, please come.
Come inside and drink a cup of hot milk tea to warm yourself up."
As the Tang Dynasty became more and more prosperous, the daily flow of goods on the Silk Road was almost ten times or even dozens of times that in the past. Huge wealth flowed on this Silk Road. Naturally, the Hu people who lived on both sides of the Silk Road
They flocked to them, practicing Chinese and learning Chinese etiquette.
The mighty and majestic cavalry spread out to both sides, and one cavalry slowly came out from the rear. Immediately, the general, wearing mountain armor and a hooded headband, with only a pair of shining eyes exposed, came to the front.
He looked down at the tribal leader coldly but said nothing.
The tribal leader felt cold sweat trickling down his spine, fearing that the general would slaughter the entire clan with just one order.
After all, the entire Western Region knew that the food shortage of the cannibals was unsustainable. Funding the cannibals was a taboo. It was even more hated by the Tang army than sending the young men of several tribes to join the cannibal army...
After a long time, when the tribal leader was stabbing his back, the Tang Army general turned his horse and walked back, while slowly speaking: "Show them!"
"Here!"
The soldiers behind them got the order and all galloped forward. Hundreds of people galloped past the tribal leader, rolling up a burst of ice and snow, and then the heads were thrown one by one and fell at the feet of the tribal leader.
The black blood on the head has dried and frozen, and the faces are ferocious, all of which are the characteristics of cannibalism. Needless to say, the Tang army must have massacred the cannibal army that came to collect grain and fodder yesterday, and then came here to intimidate and intimidate them.
Countless heads piled up a hill, and some rolled down and piled at the feet of the tribal leader, engulfing his legs...
The tribal leader swallowed hard, struggled to get out of the head, and knelt on the ground with a bang in front of the general of the Tang army. His heart was broken and he burst into tears: "General Mingjian, these big cannibals set up in front of the army yesterday.
Come, enter the tribe and plunder, we are outmatched, so we can only let them move the food and fodder away, we are definitely not colluding with the bandits in private! Please also ask the general to open up a side of the fence and leave our tribe a way to survive!"
The general of the Tang Army was sitting on his horse, unable to see the expression on his face covered by Douchun. He only said coldly: "Do you still have food in the clan? If there is, take it out together. When your clan moves to Gongyue City, the Tang Army will provide it for you."
Wait for the necessary food; if not, I will send someone to search inside, and as long as a grain of food is found, all the old, young, women and children will turn to you as punishment for helping the enemy!"
