In East Francia, no one knew that in the Black Forest there was a secret camp of King Arnulf, and there is an allusion to why he put it here.

At that time, the Roman Empire was at its peak, but in September 9 AD, the governor of the Roman Empire, Varus, in the Teutonic Forest, three elite Roman legions, the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth legions, were surrounded in the forest by the Germanic Arminius with trickery, and then given total annihilation.

Therefore, Arnulf, the king of East Francia, believed that the Don army would one day be annihilated by himself in the same way.

Because, in 378 AD, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Varus, was burned alive by the Goths in Hadrian's Castle. As a branch of the Germanic peoples, the Goths, like other tribes, had an impact on the Roman Empire.

However, unlike the legions of the Roman Empire, the Tang army was more numerous and the means of warfare emerged one after another.

In Tang Zhangwei's barracks, there were an astonishing number of fierce dog legions. They were in the Black Forest, dealing a heavy blow to the camp of the East Franconian army. The dogs, roaring and attacking the East Franconians in the Black Forest, caused them to flee in confusion and become a mess.

Under the orders of Tang Zhangwei, the Eastern Roman army led by the Don Army and Prince Leo put great pressure on the king of East Francia, Arnulf.

The king of East Francia, Arnulf, had no choice but to retreat with his army, and they moved into the forests.

These Germanic soldiers, like their ancestors, began not to bathe, because they were pursued by the Don army and did not have time to bathe.

The men of Arnulf, the king of East Francia, were greasy and smelly.

These blonde beasts are constantly running through the jungle.

The Tang army continued to meet, and troops drawn from all over the country appeared in the territory of the East Frankish kingdom.

The entire army of the Tang Dynasty was focused on here, and Tang Zhangwei and Bai Cunxiao both appeared in the territory of the East Frankish Kingdom.

Even, the longbow troops and crossbow troops led by Wei Youji, the sharpshooter of the Tang Army, also appeared here.

In the camp in the Black Forest, panic is spreading.

In the dark night, the bonfires lit by the Don army, and the smell of wheat burning, made the men of the king of East Francia, Arnulf, salivate, and they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against the back of their stomachs.

The Tang army concentrated 200,000 fierce dogs, including Chinese pastoral dogs, elephant male mastiffs, Caucasian dogs, and snow leopards.

At the same time, 3,000 elephants from Tianzhu and Burma, as well as from Annam province, also roared.

When 3,000 elephants toppled the trees of the Black Forest, the Germanic people, who had always prided themselves on their boldness and courage, began to tremble.

Tang Zhangwei's dog slave, leading the fierce dog, began to infiltrate the camp of King Arnulf in East Francia.

The huge mastiffs pounced on the Germanic knights, and the fierce dogs began to fight to the death with the Germanic knights and infantry.

As midnight approached, the howling of the entire camp and the barking of fierce dogs made this battlefield particularly terrifying.

The noble generals of the East Frankish kingdom tried to escape, but they were pounced on by the dogs.

Throughout the camp, those Germanic warriors were constantly stabbed to death by the Tang soldiers who infiltrated it.

By the time the sun rose, the main forces of the East Frankish kingdom had been completely annihilated.

At this time, the Don army began to clean up the battlefield.

The king of East Francia, Arnulf, heard the wailing of his men, and they wanted to wait for the Magyars to rescue them, but no one came to save them, but instead they were all captured and killed by the Don army.

Arnulf, the king of East Francia, took advantage of the chaos and fled into the kingdom of West Francia under the cover of his subordinates.

In the surrounding small villages, those Germanic farmers and peasant women watched their cattle, sheep, chickens, etc. being pulled away by Tang Zhangwei's troops, but fortunately, these people spoke kindly, and threw a lot of money at them, money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible.

The merchants of the Tang Dynasty, the Arab merchants, soon followed, they brought in grain, spices, and cattle and sheep, and with the entry of these people, the Germanic peasants also began to recognize the banknotes of the Tang Dynasty.

The territory of the East Frankish Kingdom was almost entirely occupied by the Tang army, and at this time, the Magyars in the East Frankish Kingdom once again surrendered to the Tang army, knowing that once the main force of the Tang Army attacked their troops, it would take less than three days for the entire Magyar tribe to be annihilated.

The Tang Army led by Tang Zhangwei, after eliminating the main force of the East Frankish Empire, began to use most of its troops in the West Frankish Kingdom.

One million Tang troops, led by Tang Zhangwei, moved to the lands of the West Frankish Kingdom.

The Tang army had 20,000 camels, 300,000 horses, 100,000 donkeys, 50,000 mules, and 3,000 war elephants.

With every move of this huge army, everyone shuddered.

At this time, Charles, the fat man of the king of the West Frankish Kingdom, was glad that he did not kill Zheng Hongcheng, the governor of the Tang Dynasty.

These people were very flattering to Zheng Hongcheng, and Charlie, the fat man of the king of the West Frankish Kingdom, ordered his daughter Princess Sophia to take the initiative to propose to Tang Zhangwei with a large amount of gold.

Tang Zhangwei received the letter, and he said with a smile: "This guy actually wants to use such a small skill of carving insects to deceive me, and he underestimates me too much." ”

Tang Zhangwei ignored the fat Charlie, and he continued to send a large army to besiege the kingdom of West Francia.

In Paris, fierce battles ensued between the two sides.

The Holy Cross Volunteers from the Kingdom of West Francia and Spain fought against the 600,000-strong Don army.

Veyōki ordered the longbow troops, as well as the crossbow troops, to rain arrows into the positions of the West Frankish army.

Looking at the arrows shot from the sky, the fat man Charlie said: "God bless us, don't let us nobles become slaves of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians." ”

Subsequently, the Tang army, led by Bai Cunxiao, quickly launched a charge, and Tang Zhangwei's army and the army of West Francia shouted and slaughtered together.

The army of 300,000 Frankish kingdoms was completely wiped out in a fierce battle.

Charlie the Fatty, the king of the West Frankish Kingdom, was captured by the Tang Army.

King Arnoff of East Francia and King Basil I of the Eastern Roman Empire continued to live in exile, voluntarily exiling themselves in order to continue their dream of being emperors.

In Chang'an City, Tang Xizong looked at the good news from the pigeons, and said: "The land of our Tang Dynasty has expanded again. ”

The eunuch Yang Fuguang said: "Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, the revival of my Tang Dynasty is imminent, and the glory of the Tang Dynasty comes from the Emperor." ”

Tang Xizong said: "Not necessarily! I think that Tang Zhangwei's credit is much greater than mine. ”
