At this moment, his heart felt like it was falling into an abyss, I'm afraid... the royal city has been lost.
"Prime Minister, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and our brothers can't withstand it anymore!"
Jiegangas was angry and anxious, but the situation in front of him was urgent. He had no choice but to turn his attention back to the front. Teams of Tang Army cavalry cut his team into pieces. What was even more frightening was that the Tang Army began to carry out executions.
Encirclement strategy, seeing that the encirclement is about to be closed.
Jie Gangas shouted: "Break through! Break out to the west!"
He was about to evacuate, but how could the Tang army let them break through easily? Just as Jiegangas rushed to the southwest corner, a Tang army cavalry came like a sharp arrow. This was the two thousand cavalry led by Pei Xin, the best among the best.
, won the first place in the cavalry competition for five consecutive years, and was praised as a dragoon by Guo Song.
The cavalry struck with lightning, and fired arrows while running. The arrows were like a storm, instantly killing more than two hundred enemy cavalry who had broken through, and then pushed back Jiegangas's breaking out army.
"Breakout! Fight out!"
Jiegangas shouted loudly, and Pei Xin locked his eyes with Jiegangas. Although he did not know what official position this man held, the fact that he wore a golden helmet meant that he was by no means light.
Pei Xin quietly took out his bow and arrow, bent down and urged his horse to the side. He suddenly straightened up, opened the bow and shot out an arrow. The arrow was shot so suddenly that the guards around Jiegangas didn't even notice, 'Pfft
!' An arrow shot through Jiegangas' neck.
Jiegangas let out a muffled scream, covered his neck and fell off the horse.
The soldiers were in chaos and rushed to save the commander, but the commander was giving out more energy than taking in, and he was about to die.
The soldiers were filled with grief and anger, screaming wildly and breaking through the encirclement. Finally, they broke through and more than twenty soldiers broke out.
Pei Xin was furious and led his soldiers to rush forward, killing more than a dozen people, but he still watched helplessly as the soldiers rescued their general.
The soldiers wanted to catch up, but Pei Xin stopped them. He could see clearly that his arrow had cut off the opponent's throat, and the opponent was already dead.
The cavalry of the Tang Army blocked the final gap. The more than 8,000 cavalrymen became less and less as they fought. In the end, a few hundred people were all killed by the Tang Army's random arrows. The 8,000 former troops who were surrounded were completely wiped out.
Guo Song issued a pursuit order, and the Tang army's cavalry pursued and killed the fleeing cavalry. They chased them for more than 200 miles and killed more than 10,000 people. Only then did Guo Song give the order to stop the pursuit.
In this sneak attack, 50,000 Huihe troops were killed and 21,000 of them were killed. About 2,900 of them escaped and fled back to their tribes.
In the end, Jiegangas could not be saved and breathed his last while escaping.
This time meant the complete destruction of the Uighur professional soldiers. To compete with the Tang army, they could only continue to recruit herdsmen troops. This was obviously unrealistic. The Uighur people failed to recover after this war. Their strength dropped from the overlord of the grassland to an ordinary tribe.
The Tongluo tribe, Qibi tribe, Dubo tribe and Bayegu tribe controlled by the Uighurs became independent one after another. The land of the royal court was divided up, and the Uighur tribe's sphere of influence shrank sharply.
Twenty years later, the newly re-emerging Uighur tribe was defeated by the Xigas tribe, and the Uighur tribe was completely divided.
After Guo Song defeated the Jiegangas cavalry, he once again sent his troops northward, targeting Fugui City.
At this time, nearly a thousand Uighur nobles and hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children of the Yaoluoge tribe gathered near Fuguicheng. There were only five thousand troops left around them. The new Uighur Khan had sent people to the other eight Uighur tribes and servants.
The Ministry of Bones asked for help and asked all ministries to send troops to rescue the royal court of Huihe.
For ten days in a row, the Uighur nobles spent their time in anxiety. They were looking forward to good news and hoping that Jiegangas could lead his army to defeat the Tang army. This was their last hope.
But as that morning, the horns of the Tang army sounded in the distance, and the hopes of the Uighur nobles were completely shattered.
The Uighur nobles were in panic. Gu Duolu personally led 5,000 Guards cavalry to fight against the Tang army, covering the Uighur nobles and the Khan's escape eastward. They could no longer take care of the hundreds of thousands of old, weak, women and children, and had to leave them to fend for themselves.
Five thousand cavalry crossed the Exian River from a shallow place, and galloped on the grassland under the leadership of Xiangguo Guzhou. After less than thirty miles, a towering stone monument appeared in front of them. This was the monument of Turkic Piga Khan.
, to commemorate the great achievements of this Turkic warrior who created the post-war era.
But just when passing this ten-foot-high stone monument, a series of explosions suddenly occurred among the cavalry group. This is the Road to the End. The Tang Army buried at least three explosion points around here. A Tang Army soldier hiding in the stone chamber
, igniting the explosion point in the west.
The explosion sounded like thunder and smoke filled the air. Thousands of Huihe cavalry were blown to pieces. It was horrific. A large number of poisonous iron nails were also erupted in the explosion. Hundreds of people were killed on the spot, and nearly 3,000 people were shot by iron nails.
.
The Uighur army was in chaos. At this time, loud trumpets sounded all around, and 20,000 Tang troops came from all directions, cutting off all the retreat routes of the Uighur army. The Prime Minister was hit by several poison-hardened iron nails. At this time, he felt
The poison in his body broke out and he lost feeling in his legs. He couldn't sit still on his horse and fell off his horse. Not only him, but also the soldiers who were shot by the poison nails started to suffer from poison, and they wailed loudly.
Guzhuo was completely desperate. At this moment, all his thoughts were in despair. Guzhuo slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, put it on his neck, gritted his teeth and struck a ruthless blow, killing himself.
The 20,000 Tang troops killed the more than a thousand cavalrymen who had resisted in the end. The army did not bother to collect the corpses, and immediately turned around and headed north, towards the Fuguicheng camp...
There was no longer a war, and 150,000 Huihe old and weak women and children became prisoners of war of the Tang army. They took away more than 20 million cattle and sheep and hundreds of thousands of horses and fell into the hands of the Tang army.
Fugui City is another warehouse in Uihe. The Tang army seized a large amount of materials here, mainly pig iron and copper ingots. Fugui City is also the craftsman center of Uihe, with more than 3,000 Han and Uihe craftsmen smelting iron and forging weapons here.
At night, several soldiers of the Tang Army rushed over quickly. The leading brigade commander came to the big tent and said to Guo Song's soldiers: "We are sent by General Yao. We have something urgent to ask to see His Highness!"
They were all personal soldiers of Yao Jin. Immediately, soldiers entered the tent and reported to Guo Song. Guo Song walked out of the tent and asked, "What's urgent, General Yao?"
The brigade commander knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said in a low voice: "The new Khan of Uighur and more than a thousand Uighur nobles were intercepted by General Yao. General Yao asked for instructions on how to deal with them."
Guo Song pondered for a moment and asked: "How many men and how many women are there?"
"The majority are women, accounting for about 70%. There are about 300 men, almost all of whom are elderly. There are only 20 to 30 young people under the age of 30 at most."
Guo Song nodded and said: "Only one of the men under the age of thirty will be left in the new Khan, and the rest will be executed. Then let General Yao send people to send these nobles to Princess Ye."
"I understand the humble position!"
The traveling commander bowed, got on his horse and rode away with his men.
The main force of the Uighurs has been destroyed. Of course, the Tang army can sweep across all directions and completely destroy the Uighurs, but this is not the best strategy. It will only allow the stronger tribes such as Pugu to rise rapidly.
Maintaining the balance of power among the tribes on the grassland is the best way to go. As for Si Jie, Guo Song did not want to interfere. They would naturally calm down after they had almost killed each other internally.
........
Three hundred miles northwest of King Huihe City there are several large mountains called Chishan. The entire mountain is brownish red. This is actually a mountain rich in iron ore and copper ore.
It was first developed by the Turks. After the Uighurs took over, it became the source of iron ore and copper mines for the Uighurs. At first, they robbed slaves from other tribes to mine, but their smelting skills were not good, the pig iron output was low, and the quality was not up to standard.
.
After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, a large number of northern Han people fled to the grasslands to avoid the war. They brought a large amount of advanced forging technology to Uihe, and the main force in mining and smelting gradually became Han people.
After the Anshi Rebellion, Han people began to return to their hometowns in large numbers, and the Han people in the north were no longer willing to serve the Uighurs. The Uighurs changed their strategy, from recruiting at the beginning to plundering. In more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of Han men and women were plundered into the Uighurs.
Slaves, the harsh climate of the grasslands caused many people to die early.
At present, there are less than 20,000 young and strong Han men in Uihe. Except for some who are responsible for logging and grazing, most of the rest are concentrated in Chishan for mining and smelting. There are 2,000 Uihe soldiers to guard them.
At noon, an army of ten thousand people came from the south. Uighur soldiers were having lunch in the military camp. Ten thousand Tang troops quickly surrounded them. The cavalry entered the military camp and massacred the Uighur soldiers without mercy...
.
At this time, more than 13,000 Han miners in the mine heard that the Tang army was coming. The miners all over the mountains and plains were excited. There was a cheer from all around. They threw away their tools, raised their hands high, and jumped and jumped into the distance.
