Chapter 3284 A great victory
In the wind and snow, the swords were like a forest, and the Tang army advanced in formation like a wall. The brave and capable Arab cavalry, which usually traveled across Europe and Asia, retreated steadily, collapsed, and had no resistance.
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 broken limbs and broken arms on the ground, and the ice slag that was melted by blood and about to freeze, and advanced towards the constant oppression of the Arabs. The forest-like swords reached them. Here, the Arabs screamed in agony and abandoned their armor.
In the direction of the ditch mouth, 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? Seeing that they could not break through the Uighur positions and were unable to be easily killed by the Arabs' scimitars, more and more Turks stopped their attacks and turned around to engage in 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 towards 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 right guards were 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 covetousness of two powerful enemies, but they also won a great victory. Who could have imagined it a few days ago?
At that moment, the sky-shaking thunder opened the way, blasting the Arabs until they howled like wolves, and then the Mo Dao Formation advanced, leaving broken limbs and broken arms with blood splattering everywhere they went, in a fierce and unparalleled manner.
The Mo Dao Formation of Youtun Guard failed to come in handy in the battle of Bugu. He was holding his breath. Now it was useful. Everyone was full of energy and murderous intent. The broad and sharp Mo Dao was flipping vertically and 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 Youtunwei 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 people 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 people of Uighur, they could not make any waves.
Youtunwei sat on the mountain and watched, made plans before moving, and joined the battlefield when the three parties were fighting endlessly. They decided the overall situation in one fell swoop, and the casualties were almost negligible.
However, 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 most importantly, collecting the corpses in one place for burning and burial. Although this place is located in a remote place, the corpses of people and horses cannot be discarded at will. Otherwise, when it is civilized in the coming year, it will easily cause epidemics. If business travelers or herdsmen travel here and contract the disease, and then spread to densely populated areas, the consequences will be disastrous.
Given the medical conditions and administrative management of the Western Regions, 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."
< br>
Fang Jun's face was as dark as 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. 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 prince's prestige and power, once this matter is brought to the court openly, it will be equivalent to a complete break with the Guanlong clan. Faced with the crime of treason and the possibility of "execution" or even "the three barbarians", the Guanlong clan will naturally not sit still and wait for death.
It is impossible to say that a "military remonstrance" will break out in Chang'an City, causing chaos and war everywhere in the world, and the beautiful situation of great unity will instantly collapse...
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, and the crime of treason cannot be washed away. Even if the prince does not pursue the case today, when His Majesty Li Er returns to Beijing, he will still be completely liquidated.
Guanlongmen 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 a decision will be discussed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the ministers and ministers."
This matter was not something he could afford if he wanted to do it 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 prince's trust and interfere, 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 "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 can be seen from this.
It can be said that everything in Jiaohe City is rotten from top to bottom.
If these beetles 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 of Turks and Arabs. The enemy, Huihe has made the greatest contribution. I have already reported the details of Huihe in the battle report. He is brave and fearless, and the reward from the imperial court will surely arrive soon. The Khan can rest assured that the Japanese commander's promise will not be changed. When the battle is over, he will definitely help the Khan return to the Khotan area in the future. I have nothing to say.”
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, you still treat us Huihe people as cannon fodder and let 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 facing 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 family to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise they will be in danger of annihilation...
