The appearance of the Tang Army is a sure victory!

The encirclement carefully prepared by Pei Min for the Turks also officially took effect.

The 80,000 Turks trapped the cavalry of the Tang and Uighur armies in the encirclement.

Pei Min also took over the command of the three armies, and he did not choose to trap the Turks to death, but to encircle the three missing one and launch a three-sided siege on the Turkic department.

The Turkic Zuoxian Wang Que was killed, and their Khan Mo Jian Lian and the mastermind Tun Yugu took advantage of the chaos to escape, lacking effective command.

After they put up a weak resistance, the large army retreated chaotically along the gap opened by Pei Min in advance towards the towering Khan Road.

Pei Min and Chengzong led each other's soldiers and horses to chase after each other unhurriedly, forcing the defeated soldiers of the Turkic Department to keep running away desperately until they were exhausted and had no strength to fight again, and then calmly launched a general attack.

With minimal casualties, this group of Turkic soldiers and horses was almost completely annihilated.

In this battle, the Tang army lost 700 soldiers, and more than 13,000 were beheaded before and after, while the Uighurs paid a heavy price, with more than 16,000 casualties, especially their front army, which was almost disabled.

As for the Turks, needless to say, almost all of them were wiped out.

There's a little prelude to that.

Just when the Turks were exhausted and Pei Min was about to give the order for a general attack, he specially asked Chengzong a question: "How should these captives be handled?" As I wanted, all the accounts were killed. However, the battle was won, and the patriarch was very meritorious. I, Pei Min, am not a stingy person, these lambs, follow the orders of the patriarch. Whether you kill or receive, you decide. ”

Pei Min's words directly made Chengzong's original repentant intestines straightened out.

What Chengzong wants to do most now is to give himself a few ear scrapers, and he wants to cry without tears: "Then kill it!" ”

His heart was bleeding as he said this.

didn't know that this was Pei Min's purpose.

Pei Min saw the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs very thoroughly.

Datang needs an agent, an "ally", to provide him with war horses to stabilize the stability of northern Xinjiang.

In the current situation in the Northlands, the Uighurs were the best choice.

But a problem between countries can never be avoided, no one wants to be the younger brother for a lifetime, and no one wants to be the second brother for a lifetime.

Now the Uighurs are respectful to the Tang Dynasty, but as the Uighurs become stronger and stronger, or if the Tang Dynasty encounters any problems and weakens, they will inevitably disagree, which is an irresistible factor.

For this reason, Pei Min has been considering the degree of this, and he cannot let the Uighurs rise too quickly, nor can he let the Uighurs lose their vitality and become dominant in the north.

Neither was in the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Min saw Chengzong's ambition to rush to war, and he wanted to use his strength to defeat the remnants of the Turks, and then collect all the Turkic prisoners.

The Turkic captives were all good archers, and as long as they were given a mouthful of food to eat, a horse and a bow, they were a warrior.

Once the Uighurs had absorbed the Turkic pawns, their strength would swell to a certain extent. With the support of Datang, their strength has soared, and they can easily obtain the hegemony of the Northland.

It's too easy to get, and I often don't know how to cherish it.

The ideal outcome was that with the help of the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs "hard" achieved hegemony.

During this "difficult" process, the Tang Dynasty continued to support the Uighurs in various materials, and the Uighurs also exchanged cattle, sheep and horses cheaply......

In this way, the benefits can be maximized.

In any case, Pei Min did not want to see the Uighurs swallow the Turks.

For some reason, Pei Min deliberately stimulated Chengzong and kindly persuaded him to join forces of the two armies to deal with the remnants of the Turkic army together. In fact, he just wanted Chengzong to have a sense of crisis, so that he had the idea that Pei Min wanted to get a piece of the pie with them.

Chengzong really moved the idea of monopoly, and in the face of the Turkic arrangement, he was unwilling to wait for the arrival of the Tang army, and was in a hurry to achieve success, ignoring the details.

As a bystander, Pei Min saw the strangeness of the Turks, although he couldn't figure out what tricks the Turks had. However, he knew that the biggest taboo in the use of soldiers was impatience, and if he was in a hurry, something would inevitably happen.

The Uighurs had the advantage of cavalry, and if he were to take command, he would have 3,000 cavalry to make a tentative attack, firing arrows from afar, and the Turks would retreat as soon as they approached, using their mobility to probe the opponent's intentions.

It is completely possible to detect the existence of a tripping horse crater with minimal casualties.

As long as you avoid the stumbling horse pit and use more than 40,000 cavalry to fight 80,000 Turkic soldiers who are not good at foot combat, it will be easy.

Pei Min deliberately did not say anything here, and as an afterthought, the purpose was undoubtedly to deplete the Uighur forces and make them incapable of swallowing the Turkic captives.

Now, after a bitter battle, the Uighurs have lost 16,000 soldiers, and if they are wounded, they have lost almost half of their combat strength.

And the Turks now have almost 60,000 soldiers.

This soldier is beyond the scope of Chengzong's bearing, just imagine, now the Uighurs can only fight more than 20,000 people, and the Turks have 60,000 or 70,000 troops, why should they eat it?

There were too many factors of instability, and when a situation arose, the Uighurs suffered from it.

At this point, Chengzong can only choose to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to avoid disasters.

It's all in Pei Min's calculations.

And Chengzong heard that Pei Min was so generous, and actually intended to hand over the captives to him for processing, thinking so much that the combat power was blown up because of his villain's heart and his greed......

That feeling, it speaks for itself.

"Alas...... If I knew that Guogong was so generous, I should have handed over the command as soon as possible......"

Chengzong thought with great regret, thinking about the tactics of Pei Min trapping the enemy, encircling three and missing one, and exhausting the enemy after the arrival of the Tang army, Chengzong knew that if Pei Min commanded it from the beginning, it would definitely not be like this.

At this moment, because of Pei Min's generous actions, Chengzong firmly believes that Pei Min treats them sincerely.

"I'll give you the instruments left by the Turks. We have already obtained hundreds of thousands of military horses, and we will not rob you of these weapons, armor and other things! ”

Pei Min said generously that they had eaten the meat, and they had to leave some soup for the Uighurs to drink.

Anyway, he doesn't look down on those Turkic instruments and armor, so it is better to give a favor.

Pei Min is not rare, but Chengzong is very moved, their grassland people are the most short of iron weapons, and the broken copper and iron left by the 100,000 army is not a small amount for them.

"Then thank you Guogong, your great kindness and great virtue, Chengzong is unforgettable! What does Guogong need, although he said bluntly, if I can do it, I will never spit out the word 'no'. ”

Pei Min also said politely: "I have always loved famous horses and good horses, I know that your grassland is rich in famous horses, the patriarch might as well sell me a few horses!" ”

Chengzong waved his big hand with a look of concern: "It's too much to sell, and I will ask people to send ten good horses to Guogong when I turn around." ”

While they were talking and laughing, Pei Min also gave the order for a general attack, completing the final blow to the exhausted Turkic soldiers!

The 100,000 Turkic soldiers who entered the army were almost wiped out.

After this battle, the Turks, who had dominated the steppe for many years, suffered a great loss of vitality and no longer had the strength to compete for power.
