Chapter 1160: Forgotten in the rivers and lakes!
Chapter 1160
When the entire Tang Dynasty was jubilant and immersed in the joy of the great victory of Talas, in the distance, in the northeast corner of Uszang, a lonely horse bell echoed in the void.
Along this rugged road to Uszang, a defeated army of thousands of men was slowly moving forward on this winding road, unarmed and demoralized. And in the middle of this army, a white yak battle flag is extremely eye-catching. This was the remnant of the army that had retreated from the battlefield of Talas.
All the way to retreat from the stone bridge, the same distance, it took more than twice as long for Huoba Sangye and the others.
The war of Talas has ended, and the news has long spread throughout the Western Regions and the surrounding countries, and now all the countries of all sizes, large and small, have closed their gates, showing obvious hostility towards the defeated generals of this remnant army.
If it was before, when the army had just set off and the army was at its peak, these small countries dared to do this to Uszang, and Huoba Sangye would have already led the army to attack the city and plunder the land and destroy these small countries.
But the current army, the generals are all dead, the wise minister is dead, and the remaining army of a few thousand people is barely able to pose any threat to these large and small countries on the way back.
Many times, in order to avoid conflict with some of these forces, Huoba Sangye had to lead a large army and take the initiative to bypass a long distance, such a shame is simply unprecedented.
But these things, Huo Ba Sangye doesn't care about it at all.
"Minister, General, it won't be long before you can return to Uszang!"
The Usi-Tibetan Plateau in front of him was close at hand, and Huoba Sangye turned his head and looked at the corpses of Daqin Ruozan, Huoshu Guizang and Dusong Mangbuzhi on the back of several war horses beside him, and his expression was extremely lonely.
When I went, I smiled and talked loudly, which is still in my ears. The 100,000-strong army is mighty, and the invincible peak army is like yesterday. But in an instant, everything dissipated, and he was left alone, with a few thousand remnants of the defeated army.
Thinking of this, Huoba Sangye couldn't help but show a sad look on his face, but soon, Huoba Sangye settled down, now he doesn't care about everything, and there is only one thought left in his heart, no matter what, he will send the corpses of the Great Ministers back to the plateau.
"General, look ahead!"
Just as he was immersed in grief alone, there was a sudden exclamation in his ears, and an Uszang soldier pointed ahead and suddenly screamed.
Huo Basang Ye was stunned in his heart, and subconsciously looked up, he was still stunned at first, but soon, on the towering Wusizang Plateau in the distance, he saw a large army densely packed, resting, and looking at it from a distance, it was as thin as ants.
"It's the Western Turks!"
Huo Ba Sangye's eyelids jumped, as if he was stimulated by something, he raised his head sharply, and the whole person was much more sober.
And almost at the same time, the army that inhabited the plateau also discovered this new army, and just under the blue-bottomed golden wolf battle flag fluttering high, a tall and burly figure rode a war horse, galloped forward a few steps, and stopped.
"My lord, it's the Us-Tibetans, and they've retreated too!"
A voice suddenly came from his ears, and Che Kun Benba caught up from behind with a horse's belly, looking in the direction of the plateau.
Du Wu Sili's face was pale, his breath was extremely weak, and his gaze swept over the heavy space, colliding with the gaze of the fire pulling Sangye under the white yak battle flag. At that moment, Huo Tu Sangye's gaze was of course faintly filled with anger, and Du Wu Sili's expression couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed.
The battle of Talas, at the most critical juncture, Du Wu Sili received a slap from Wang Chong, and immediately turned around in fright, completely abandoning his allies, this kind of thing, as the general of Du Wu Sili Heavenly Wolf, is a very humiliating thing in any case.
Now when he meets Huoba Sangye and other Wusi Tibetans, how can Wu Sili not be embarrassed in his heart.
But in just a moment, Du Wu Sili immediately turned his head, swept past Huoba Sangye, and soon fell on the corpses of Daqin Ruozan, Huoshu Guizang, and Dusong Mangbuzhi.
At that moment, Du Wu Sili's expression was complicated, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.
Although the alliance with Uszang is not long, many times the two sides still calculate each other, but the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Daqin Ruozan, Huoshu Guizang, and Dusong Mangbuzhi were killed by Wang Chong and the Tang people, as were Du Wusili and the Western Turkic army he brought.
At this moment, Du Wu Sili was not touched in his heart.
"General, do we need to go over and meet them before we leave?"
Che Kun Ben Ba Road.
"No need!"
Du Wusli shook his head, and soon returned to normal.
"The Battle of Talas is over, and our alliance with the Tibetans no longer exists, and from now on, we all need to fight separately against a more powerful Tang Dynasty and the possibility of retaliation at any time. There is no need to say goodbye between the two sides. ”
At the same time, the same conversation took place among the remnants of the Usizang army under the plateau.
Without any stop, Du Wusili turned his horse's head and led the remnants of the army on the road first, heading into the distance.
And almost at the same time, Huoba Sangye also led the army, although it was also heading towards the plateau, but in a completely different direction, and the two armies were forgotten as if they had never known each other.
......
At the same time, in Khorasan, thousands of miles away from Beijing, the north wind swept the land, and at this moment, the terminal of the westward journey of the Silk Road, the grass was cold and the temperature was cold.
And in the long dry grass outside the city of Khorasan, thousands of war horses were densely packed, vast as the sea, standing on the earth. In the army, a huge five-clawed dragon flag was waving in the wind, and around this Datang dragon flag, countless flags were scattered, pointing straight to the sky. More than 20,000 Tang Dynasty/army, 180,000 rebel troops of various dynasties, a total of 200,000 troops, strong soldiers and horses, all arrayed in front of the city gate of Khorasan, the atmosphere was solemn.
"General, almost, everything is ready. ”
With the clatter of the war horses, General Bahram rode his monster-like war horse and rushed up from behind, whispering in Wang Chong's ear.
"Hmm!"
Wang Chong nodded, and then looked up at the majestic and heavy Khorasan in front of him, like an iron wall.
I saw that on the high city, the black Great Eclipse Battle Banner was all over the city wall, and countless Great Eclipse soldiers gathered above the city, and in the center of these Great Eclipse soldiers, Abmus/Lin and Ziad stood side by side. The aura on the two of them was released like a storm, reaching the sky and the earth, facing off against the 200,000 alliance army from afar.
"Abmuth/Lin, Ziad, how are you thinking about it!"
Wang Chong's voice was extremely loud, resounding above the entire army.
Chased all the way from Samarkand to here, even though Wang Chong led the army day and night, not giving Abmus/Lin a chance to breathe, but it was still a bad move, Abmus/Lin fled all the way to Khorasan, and after seven or eight days, he finally recovered his strength. And in the name of the Eastern Theater of Great Food, the iron-blooded governor, a lot of militia has been gathered, and now with the high walls of Khorasan, it is competing with the Tang Dynasty.
However, no matter how stubbornly Abmuth/Lin resisted, it was already too late. With the top army of the Tang Dynasty as the core, and the 180,000 troops recruited by other conscriptions, no matter how unwilling Abmus/Lin is, they are no longer able to return to the sky.
Wang Chong's general trend has been achieved, and now the Great Food East has no opponent who can compete with him.
"Wang Chong, it's useless to talk more, there are no generals who surrendered in Dashi, and there are no troops who surrendered without a fight, so you can let the horses come!"
Abmuth/Lin stood like a mountain on the city wall, his expression determined.
"Wang Chong, don't be delusional! We have changed all the gates of Khorasan, and the incident in Samarkand will definitely not be repeated, even if you have an army of 200,000? Khorasan is impregnable and unbreakable!"
At the same time, Ziad spoke on the high city walls.
Khorasan was the royal capital of the Sassanid Dynasty at the beginning, when hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses bombarded wildly, and held out for several years, but failed to break through the royal capital of the Sassanid Dynasty, because of these strong city walls. So much so that later, the three major governors of the Great Eclipse joined forces, and at the same time, they also sent a giant beast army, and with the huge size of those giant beasts and the terrifying destructive power, they finally broke the city wall and annihilated the entire Sassanid Dynasty.
However, after the war, all the city walls have been repaired, and the Great Food has also heightened and strengthened these city walls on the basis of the original Sassanid people, although Wang Chong and others have 200,000 soldiers and horses, but in terms of the level of siege, it is far from enough.
At the beginning of Talas, Abmus/Lin had more than 400,000 soldiers and horses, and attacked the city of Talas, which had not been defended by 30,000 Ansidu guards for two months. Not to mention that Wang Chong's current soldiers and horses are much less than those of Abmus/Lin at the beginning.
"Haha, it seems that you are ready to resist stubbornly and fight to the death!"
Wang Chong smiled slightly, not at all surprised by the reaction of Abmus/Lin and Ziad:
"In that case, I will fulfill you!"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, on the high walls of Khorasan, Abmus/Lin and Ziyad's eyelids jumped. The walls of Khorasan were extremely smooth, and the two did not think that Wang Chong's soldiers and horses could break through them, but Wang Chong's confidence and calmness were really unsettling.
"Wang Chong, what do you mean!"
Ziad couldn't help but say.
"Huh. ”
Wang Chong smiled slightly, ignoring Ziad on the city wall. He is not here to lead a large army to "talk to each other" with Abmus/Lin and Ziad.
"General Bahram, let's start when you're ready. ”
Wang Chong turned his head and said to Bahram on the side.
"Understood!"
Bahram looked solemn, nodded, and quickly gestured to an elite soldier behind him. Soon, the order was delivered.
