Anyone can see that the morale and combat skills of the Tang cavalry are far above the Ye cavalry on the opposite side, and the battlefield advantage is still constantly tilting towards the Tang army, and with the Tang army spearmen coming quickly, the whole battle situation is instantly clear.

A Tang Army spearman armed with a 4-meter stainless steel spear ran all the way here, and everyone was already out of breath, but he was still a hundred times more energetic, and his morale was like a rainbow. They shouted and rushed quickly, completely cutting off the rear road of the Ye army's cavalry, completely outflanking them from front to back, and leaving this group of enemy troops in a desperate situation of being completely surrounded.

A stainless steel spear with a sharp handle, like a flying poisonous dragon, roared and stabbed fiercely, countless Ye soldiers were stabbed by the spear one after another, and one after another soldiers screamed and fell to the ground and died, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

These Ye cavalry, who had been attacked on their backs, resisted extremely hard for a while, and finally completely collapsed.

A large number of Ye cavalry began to fight to break through at any cost.

It's just that at this point in the battle, there are still people who have the strength to break through, after all, there are only a few, and there are even a lot of Ye army cavalry crying loudly, throwing their weapons on the spot, raising their hands and begging for mercy, looking very pitiful.

It's just that in this chaotic battlefield, because the enemy forces everywhere are almost uncontrollable, the Tang army simply does not have the ability and time to collect the prisoners, so those red-eyed Tang cavalry and spearmen are still roaring like beasts, mercilessly trying to kill all the remaining Ye cavalry.

In the end, the Ye army cavalry, which had less than 200 cavalry, fought to the death to get out of the encirclement, and was extremely lucky to save his life and escape.

And the rest of the thousands of Ye Army cavalry were all on this battlefield like a Shura slaughterhouse, and they were about to be killed by the Tang Army neatly.

At this critical juncture, Li Xiao, the commander of the Tang Army, agreed to their surrender, and the heralds on both sides waved their flags high, and the red-eyed Tang cavalry finally stopped the killing on this side.

There were only more than 3,000 Ye cavalry, and finally their lives were successfully saved, and they rolled their saddles and dismounted, crying and surrendering.

Of course, the return of the Ye army cavalry to the battle this time is not without any value.

After all, when they were fighting desperately, they bought a very precious escape time for a large number of routed soldiers. These routs took advantage of this rare opportunity to flee westward in a hurry, and finally about 20,000 people were able to escape from the battlefield in a hurry, and finally survived and disappeared into the vast wilderness.

As soon as the enemy cavalry fell, the battle situation was decided, and in the entire battle array, there were interceptions in front and pursuers, and there were the remaining nearly 100,000 enemy infantry scurrying like a swarm of bees.

They had no more heart, and they abandoned their weapons and armor, and cried loudly and fell to their knees begging for mercy.

Li Xiao naturally agreed to their request to surrender.

Immediately, they were smoothly tied up by a large number of Tang Army auxiliaries who rushed up, like grasshoppers, tied into a long string after a long line.

At this point in the battle, the Tang army had already won a complete victory, and in order to avoid any extraneous branches, they just chased to the tributary of the Weilu River in the west, and then stopped one after another, did not continue the pursuit, and then retreated back and began to clean up the battlefield.

When the sun was getting west, all the troops were taken in, and the thunderous cheers resounded through the field, like rolling spring thunder, sweeping the land.

The final statistics found that including the previous siege of the city, a total of nearly 60,000 enemy troops were destroyed, a total of more than 100,000 Ye soldiers and horses surrendered, and countless battlefields were captured.

However, the most regrettable thing in this battle was that the commander of the Ye army, who was also the king of Yarkand, Abdullah, fled. And in the end, there were more than 20,000 remaining soldiers and horses, and they escaped alive, which is a fly in the ointment and a regrettable thing.

At the end of this battle, the city of Luo Yi was opened, and the remaining Tang army of the monk An in the city, as well as the remnants of the Shun army with only more than 2,000 people left, went out of the city one after another to greet Li Xiao, the first emperor of the ages.

Along the way, Li Xiao had seen from a distance that Luo Yan City, which had just experienced a big battle, although it was already cleaning the battlefield, it was still a mess, with blood and corpses all over the entire inner and outer cities.

It's not easy, you can imagine what kind of extremely dangerous conditions the Tang army defending the city was, going through hardships and paying heavy sacrifices, before finally winning this battle to defend the city, and the victory of this war came too hard.

And when he saw the remnants of the Tang army, Huang Aya Luogai, who came from afar and went out of the city to greet him, suddenly burst into a round of thunderous cheers.

Soon, Li Xiao and Monk An finally met at the east gate of Luocheng City.

Seeing that Monk An was the head of a town, but he was covered in blood, covered with scars, and standing like a sculpture in the cold wind, Li Xiao was inexplicably emotional.

It's so dangerous, if you come one step late, this inner city of Luo Yan City should definitely fall, and the monk of Chang'an and all the soldiers guarding the fort are afraid that they will all die at the hands of Ye Jun. And there is no doubt that the city of Luo, which Dashun has painstakingly built, will also become occupied by the Ye army.

"My subordinates have seen the emperor."

A few steps away, Monk An knelt on his knees and was about to bow to Li Dingguo, but Li Xiao quickly walked over and pulled him up.

"No need to be polite, if it weren't for the monk and you to come in time, the soldiers and civilians of this city would have been captured by the Ye army." Li Xiao said with a sigh.

"Alas, I was late to lead the troops and trapped Luo Yi City in such a dangerous situation, An was so ashamed that he asked the emperor to punish him." Monk An respectfully pleaded guilty.

Li Xiao smiled on his face, and said lightly: "Mayor An doesn't have to blame himself so much, it is not easy to arrive in time for this thousand-mile march, and now he can successfully defend the inner city of Luo Yi City and destroy most of the enemy soldiers, I am very relieved." “

Li Xiaofu chatted with Monk An for a few words, and at this time, Li Guo, the Marquis of Dashun Hao, whose wrist had been cut off, and Niu Jinxing, the prime minister of the Dashun Dynasty, also staggered forward and bowed to Li Xiao.

"The criminal minister Li Guo, bow to the Tang Emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Sinner Niu Jinxing, bow to the Tang Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Li Xiao stepped forward slowly and helped the two of them up.

"Two flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Guo and Niu Jinxing got up, their faces were both grateful and embarrassed, and their eyes were full of dodge.

Li Xiao was also full of emotion when he saw these two last remnants of the Great Shun Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the last remnant of Li Zicheng's Dashun will be such a final ending, and the once glorious Dashun Dynasty will finally be wiped out in this Western Regions, which is also very lamentable.

Li Guo lost too much blood and his face was pale, and after he got up from the ground, he immediately went back to Li Xiao with Niu Jinxing and said, "Your Majesty, I am too late to return to obedience, and I hope that the emperor will forgive me." “

"It doesn't have to be like this, although the Shun Dynasty is dead, the two of you can lead the rest to Shun, which is also meritorious, and you will be obedient to the new dynasty in the future." Li Xiao comforted.

Li Guo looked ashamed, and said again: "I am fortunate to be rescued by the Tang Army and save my life, but now my right hand has been broken, even if I want to serve the new dynasty, it is also difficult." If the emperor allows, choose a quiet place, let the place where you retreat, and become thousands of ordinary people who are consecrated with the grace of sanctification, and you will know enough in the lower karma. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Niu Jinxing also took over: "I think like this in Xia. I am very grateful to think that I came to the Holy Dynasty to fight against the Holy Pilgrimage before, and I have confessed a lot of sins, and today I have received the help of the Holy God himself, so as to save my life. I would like to be the same as Haohou, choose a remote and quiet place, and it is enough to live for a long time. ”

The two of them made such a request, but in fact, it was mostly helpless.

After all, they have always been against the Tang Army, and even though they were able to continue to serve in the Tang Army thanks to Li Xiao's care, they were also afraid that they would eventually be settled by the Tang Army. On the contrary, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the emperor is here now and ask for a good death, which is also a good thing.

Li Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed to the request of the two.

Soon, he ordered Li Guo to recuperate from his injuries in Luocheng first, and after his injuries were healed, he moved to Jiangnan with his family and relatives.

Niu Jinxing, together with his family and servants, moved to Taiwan to settle down.

As for the other remnants of the family members of the Great Shun Xun, they were also allowed to go to various places in the Tang Dynasty to settle down. The remaining 3,000 or so officers and men of the Yuan Shun Army, except for about 1,000 strong and strong soldiers who were retained and placed in the Tang Army, the remaining 2,000 old and weak were all resettled in Northeast Asia.

After the completion of more than a month of brainwashing work, all of them will be changed to Hanfu, stay in Han, learn Han customs, and become ordinary Han people who are no different from the living habits of the Han people.

Next, Li Xiao rewarded the soldiers who defended the city in Luo Yicheng, as well as the soldiers who came to help them who made meritorious contributions in this battle, and also arranged a feast for the army.

With such an arrangement, the whole army was overjoyed, and they shouted long live, and they respected and supported Li Xiao, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, more and more.

After resting for three days in Luoyi City, Li Xiao sent troops westward and attacked Turpan, an important town of the Yarkand Khanate.

The 300,000-strong army marched westward, with a huge momentum and an irresistible awe-inspiring might, and the king of the Yarkand Khanate, Abdullah, who had finally cleaned up the remnants in Turpan, was shocked when he heard that the Tang army had returned to the west to attack Turpan.

He knew that it was impossible to hold this Turpan City with only the 30,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers, and what was even more regrettable was that now his elite was lost, and there were no reinforcements outside, if he didn't find a way earlier, he was afraid that even his life would be lost here.

Abdullah thought hard, and in order to save his life, he finally had to give an order to abandon Turpan, and the whole army continued to retreat westward, retreating to the capital Kashgar, where he held on to the city. At the same time, they ceded land to the Dzungar Khanate for help, hoping that the two countries would work together to defeat the Tang army and allow the Yarkand Khanate to continue to survive.

Therefore, when the Tang army came westward, King Abdullah forced the people of Turpan to move to Kashgar with 30,000 soldiers and horses, ready to wait for reinforcements in Kashgar. At the same time, he made the entire territory of Turpan fortified and cleared, and destroyed all the crops and cities along the way, and never gave the Tang army any chance to replenish it.

He acted like this, but he was quite ruthless, and he looked like he was going to fight the Tang Army to the end.

Three days later, the Tang army arrived in Turpan, and sure enough, they only got an empty city.

Seeing such an important town turned into an empty city with no one in the background, Li Xiao could imagine that the king of Yarkand, Abdullah, was already putting on a posture of fighting against himself to the end, and he acted like this, which was indeed hateful.

Of course, it also strengthened Li Xiao's determination to completely destroy the Yarkand Khanate and unify the Western Regions.

Because, the Tang army under Li Xiao's logistics supply capacity is far from being comparable to the Yarkand Khanate, and the Tang army has a large number of auxiliaries and civilians on this expedition, using large four-wheeled vehicles to carry a large number of grain and grass to ensure that the Tang army has no worries about long-term combat in the Western Regions.

After Li Xiao led his army to Turpan, he also immediately sent an envoy to the Dzungar Khanate, asking the Dzungar Khanate to also send troops.

In the letter, Li Xiao also allowed them that after the deed was completed, they could get a considerable amount of money and land as compensation, and they would have the official title of Juelu given by the Tang Dynasty, and the two countries would be friendly and trade with each other from then on.

So, almost on the same day, Batur, the king of the Dzungar Khanate, received two letters from the Yarkand Khanate and the Tang Dynasty, which made Batur, the king of the Dzungar Khanate, fall into deep confusion.

(Here, a brief introduction to the Dzungar Khanate.)

The Dzungar Khanate, which originated from the Dzungar tribe of the Western Mongols, finally established a powerful Dzungar Khanate after defeating the Kazakhs and conquering the Hui Chagatai Khan and the local Baishan and Montenegrin sects.

Its territory extends to the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, the Ob River and the Yenisei River in the north, the Ali region of Tibet in the south, the Balkhash Lake in the west, and the Sayan Mountains and the Seshangge River basin in the east, reaching more than 4 million square kilometers at its peak.

In 1634, the former head of the Dzungar tribe, Kharakura, died, and his son Batur became the head of the throne, the current king of the Dzungar Khanate. ）

Batur read the letter of the king of the Yarkand Khanate, Abdullah, and the letter of the emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Xiao, many times, but he still couldn't make up his mind in his heart, not knowing whether to join the Yarkand Khanate, or to attack the Yarkand Khanate with him according to Li Xiao's opinion.

Just when Batur was hesitating and couldn't make up his mind, his son Sangha asked him to see him.

When the father and son met, the son monk asked directly: "Father, child, do you want to be a truly independent king for a long time, and you are willing to become a vassal state of the Tang Emperor Li Xiao?" ”

When Batur heard this, his face changed greatly, his face turned cold, and he shouted: "Monk! Is there anyone like you who talks to your father? What do you mean by asking? ”

As if he guessed that he must have such a question, the monk immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Father, I would rather be a chicken head than a cow queen, if my father wants to protect the Dzungar Khanate and want our country to be independent for a long time, he should immediately give up his previous suspicions, join the aid of Yarkand, and fight against the Tang army with him, which is the only correct strategy!" ”
