At dawn, Zhou Zongsheng led the soldiers of the Changshui Army to rampage in the Tartar company camp, and all the Tartar soldiers and horses in front of the Iron Cavalry Army were all defeated one by one, and all the corpses of the Tartar soldiers were all along the way, which was unbearable.

Soon, Zhou Zongsheng led the army to the west of the battlefield, and the Yingyang army, the Zhichong army, and the Yue cavalry army soldiers who were chasing the remnants of the Tartars here, when the head of the Duohuorati tribe leader Bayankra was provoked by the soldiers of the Changshui Army with bamboo poles, the Tartar soldiers on the entire battlefield suddenly blew up their nests, and immediately gave up resistance, and even gave up escaping, and surrendered directly.

Seeing this, Yan Hu immediately shouted: "Contain the prisoners!" Contain the captives! The main force is going east! ”

Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, Gao Ran, and Zhou Zongsheng discussed urgently, and then decided that Chen Ziping would lead the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry army to stay behind to contain the prisoners, and the rest of the soldiers immediately marched eastward, with the Changshui Army as the vanguard, and the soldiers of the army rushed towards the east of the battlefield.

At this time, Qiu Dacheng, the new chief officer of Shaanxi Town, was leading his troops to fight to the death, and the soldiers of Shaanxi Town fought hard for a long time, although they always suppressed tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers and horses in front of them, they could not break through, and could only continue to engage in tug-of-war with Tartar soldiers and horses in several large camps in the east.

At this moment, Zhou Zongsheng led the soldiers of the Changshui Army to kill, and 10,000 thousands of iron cavalry troops rushed straight from the rear of the battlefield, rushing the tens of thousands of Tartar troops on the east side of the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army and the Zhichong Army who were killed immediately afterwards also joined the battle group, and then covered up the collapsed Tartar army, and the situation on the battlefield was immediately reversed.

Qiu Dacheng, the chief officer of Shaanxi Town, laughed when he saw this, and immediately led his soldiers and horses to launch a general attack, and tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of Shaanxi Town launched a charge, and soon broke through the defense line of the Tartar army, and the whole army rushed into the company camp.

When the sun rose, the company camp of the Duohuo Ti Department finally calmed down, and the originally crowded company camp had been replaced by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

At this time, more than 200,000 soldiers of the Ming Army were resting, and tens of thousands of soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, gathering the corpses of Tartars one after another, and then burying them ten miles west of Turpan City.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Ming army, Liu Juntao convened the chief military officers of all ministries and the ministers of various departments to discuss matters.

In this battle, the Ming army made a successful surprise attack, and the army of 340,000 Duohuorati tribes was annihilated, and the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayanke, was beheaded.

The loss of the Ming army is very small in comparison, and the soldiers of Shaanxi Town have lost more than 3,000 people, which is already the largest number of dead soldiers in the Ming army, and the number of dead in the rest of the departments is combined, a total of more than 10,000 people!

This great victory instantly changed the situation of the entire Western Regions, and looking at the Western Regions today, there is no force that can stop the advance of the Ming army!

After Liu Juntao discussed with everyone, he ordered Zhou Zongsheng, the chief military officer of Hanhai Town, to lead the Changshui Army to the south, occupy Kuxian City, and plunder all the tribes of the Duohuorati tribe to Turpan City and Hami Acropolis.

At the same time, Liu Juntao ordered Yan Hu, the chief soldier of Taiyuan Town, Qiu Dacheng, the chief soldier of Shaanxi Town, Gao Ran, the chief soldier of Lu'an Town, and Chen Ziping, the chief soldier of Zezhou Town, to divide their troops and attack, and immediately occupy all the key passes in the southern Xinjiang of the Western Regions, deter the Hu people in various places, and demand that the Hu people in all parts of the country surrender immediately and listen to the disposal of the Hou Daming court, otherwise they will be annihilated on the spot!

A few people led the army to attack on the same day, the Eagle Yang Army, the Shaanxi Town Division, the Yue Cavalry Army, and the Zhichong Army divided their troops into several ways to attack, and swept the vast area south of the Tianshan Mountains in just ten days, and completely swept the southern frontier of the Western Regions, especially the Kuxian City was lost, and hundreds of thousands of Huorati tribes were plundered by the Ming army to the north, which made the entire Western Regions terrifying, and for a time the military might of the Ming army spread all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and there were no dissatisfied!

At the same time, Liu Juntao left the soldiers of the various departments of the Beijing camp to garrison the city of Turpan, and immediately took custody of hundreds of thousands of prisoners of the Duohuoti tribe and nearly 100,000 troops of the tribe.

Liu Juntao set out a great purge of these captives, killing more than 100,000 people within ten days, nearly 100,000 captives were killed more than 30,000 people, hundreds of thousands of tribesmen were killed more than 100,000 people, and almost half of the men in the Duohuo Ti tribe were killed!

Seeing that there was no longer a threat to these captives, Liu Juntao scattered all these captives and placed them around the city of Turpan to prevent these captives from forming a joint force.

After that, Liu Juntao led the Long Xiang Army and the Tiger Ben Army to continue westward, pursuing Yili's 100,000 troops all the way.

At this time, Yili had fled westward with 100,000 troops inside, and the Ming army pursued for nearly a month, only to kill some small groups of enemy troops that had fallen behind.

With Liu Juntao's order, more than 200,000 Ming troops, together with various surrendered Hu tribes, launched a general attack on the Muslim forces in the southern Xinjiang of the Western Regions.

These Hu forces were also affected in the previous Hui people ~ riot ~ chaos, so these Muslim forces are also very disgusted, at this time there are Ming troops to come forward, all of them have used all their strength, not only for the Ming army as a guide, escort, and many tribes in Liu Juntao's permission, but also organized soldiers and horses to rush to the front line, for the Ming army as a pioneer.

May of the second year of Chenghua.

Liu Juntao spent more than two months to completely stabilize the southern Xinjiang region of the Western Regions, and to govern all places, under the deterrence of more than 200,000 Ming troops, the Hu people in the southern Xinjiang of the Western Regions also dealt with one after another, and formed a servant army of nearly 100,000 to assist the Ming army to defend various places.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao wrote to Emperor Chenghua, asking the imperial court to immediately rebuild the Anxi Protectorate, begin to establish prefectures and counties south of the Tianshan Mountains, garrison troops, and immediately select qualified officials to govern various places.

Emperor Chenghua was overjoyed to receive the folding, at this time the war in the south of the Ming Dynasty had subsided, the southern provinces were recuperating and recovering, and Hu Dexing, the governor of Shandong, also sent a report, and the negotiations with the Dutch have also made significant progress, Emperor Chenghua saw that the Ming Quartet won the war one after another, and couldn't help but feel good, immediately approved Liu Juntao's request, and ordered the Ministry of War to mobilize soldiers and horses from Henan and Sichuan, and the Ministry of Officials immediately selected officials to be stationed in the Western Regions, and the imperial court began to prepare for the construction of the Anxi Protectorate.

"In the fourteenth year of Taizong Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty set up the Xizhou Metropolitan Protectorate, and in September of the same year, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate was set up in Jiaohe City."

"Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate are the names of different periods of a military and political institution in the Tang Dynasty's management of the western part of the country, which governs the four towns of Anxi, and the maximum jurisdiction once completely included the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and to the west of the Green Mountains to Dabo, after the separation of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate during the Wuzhou Dynasty, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is in charge of the Western Regions south of the Tianshan Mountains, which is not much different from the current resistance controlled by our army!"

"Two years after Longshuo, Tubo and Datang repeatedly fought for the four towns of Anxi, which changed hands several times. After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, a large number of Anxi Protectorate garrisons were transferred to the interior to participate in the counterinsurgency, resulting in the emptiness of the Anxi Protectorate, and Tubo took the opportunity to march into Anxi, until the sixth year of Tang Dezong's Zhenyuan, the four towns of Anxi fell completely one after another. ”

In the big tent of the Ming Army, Lan Siqi was telling Liu Juntao the origin of the Anxi Protectorate, and said at this time: "Since the sixth year of Tang Dezong's Zhenyuan, to the nearly 1,000 years between this dynasty, I have never rebuilt the Anxi Protectorate in Huaxia!" ”

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "This is my hometown of China, and it has suffered from Hu Chen for thousands of years, which is a shame for me and other Chinese warriors!" I am fortunate to be able to be ashamed today, so that I can be worthy of my ancestors! ”

At this time, the head of the military department said to the group: "Bingxian, now the imperial court is preparing to build the Anxi Protectorate, the follow-up supplies of the army are being transported to Turpan City in a steady stream, and the garrison of the Anxi Protectorate is also being mobilized. ”

Liu Juntao nodded and said: "Indeed, our army must defeat Yili before the beginning of winter, and completely pacify the vast area north of the Tianshan Mountains, so that the imperial court can start preparing for the construction of the Beiting Protectorate next year." Once the battle for the north is delayed until winter, the war will be delayed until next year, and the inner part of Yili will also get a winter respite, and the variables of the war will increase! ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone present at the meeting nodded yes, especially the chief officers of the towns of the Tiance Army asked for battle.

Liu Juntao also had this intention, and immediately ordered all the departments of the Tiance Army, all the departments of Shaanxi Town, and 100,000 servant troops to immediately assemble in Turpan City, and at the same time ordered the newly attached Hu army from all the departments of the Western Regions to be requisitioned, all of which were added to the servant army, expanding the strength of the servant army to 200,000!

As for the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, Liu Juntao still stayed behind to garrison Turpan City to guard the back road for the army, and at the same time, he would continue to mobilize garrison reinforcements into the Western Regions with the imperial court to deter all parts of the Anxi Protectorate.

In the face of the strong offensive of the Ming army, in the face of the defection and surrender of the Hu people south of the Tianshan Mountains, it was decided to concentrate all efforts to garrison Shawan City and fight to the death with the Ming army here.

Shawan City is a fortress north of the Tianshan Mountains, which was originally a key pass under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, and later after the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions, it was occupied by the Hu people of all ethnic groups in turn, and became a nail nailed to the north-south arteries of the Tianshan Mountains!

The circumference of Shawan City is fifteen miles, there are two inner and outer city walls, the four corners of the city, and the left and right sides of the city gate have a total of twelve watchtowers, there is an urn city built outside the city gate, and there is a moat dug outside the city, but it has dried up at this time, and it was converted into a trench by the Tartars to guard.

In the north of the Tianshan Mountains, Shawan City can be said to be the first fortified city, which is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now it is occupied by Yili, more than 100,000 tribes have been moved into the city, and 100,000 troops have also begun to prepare for war in the city, preparing for the final resistance.

At the same time, a message was also sent out from Shawan City, and it also tried to ask the tribes north of the Tianshan Mountains for help, asking the tribes to send reinforcements to Shawan City to converge to resist the Ming army that was about to go north, but there were few corresponding Hu tribes, only four tribes responded, and none of the tribes that really sent troops to come!
