At the same time as the Tang army of Demon Dragon City withdrew, a Tang army of 30,000 people left Daqingchi and marched to Haitushi City, the hinterland of the Qarluq people in the north, this 30,000-strong Tang army was composed of 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 Modao Army, led by Wang Siyu's deputy general Liang Tingyu, from Daqingchi to Haitushi City, it was about 800 miles away, and it took four or five days of marching to arrive, and it was not a grassland all the way, mainly composed of gentle mountains and hills, and countless large and small rivers flowed between the mountains. Bare rocks are rarely seen here, and the thick mud is covered with green lawns dotted with large forests.

On the morning of that day, the Tang army crossed a low hill called Hegeling, but stopped, and the scouts who were exploring the way ahead came the news that more than 30,000 Qarluq cavalry had been found thirty miles away, also coming south, and would collide with them head-on in the afternoon.

Liang Tingyu smiled coldly, as expected by the commander, the Qarlu people divided their troops into two ways, one way to capture the Demon Dragon City, and the other way was to go directly south to seize several castles by the Daqing Pond, and he immediately ordered: The whole army rests on the spot and recovers as soon as possible.

This will be a hard battle, when he left, Wang Siyu once told him, if you encounter the army of the Qarluqs, don't use any strategy, that is, to fight with the Qarluqs, Liang Tingyu understands what the commander means, almost half of the Broken Leaf Army are recruits, they have not experienced real battles, they urgently need to be baptized with blood and actual combat, and the Qarlu people are the best sparring partners, but in order to ensure the final victory of the battle, Liang Tingyu turned back to Yan Yun, the lieutenant general of the Third Cavalry Army: " You led 10,000 men of your headquarters around the enemy's army, hid in the forest, and acted as a backup, acting on my orders. ”

Yan Yun was the deputy general when Guan Ying captured Broken Leaf City, and he was promoted from a Guoyi lieutenant to a lieutenant general, leading 10,000 people in the Third Cavalry Army of Broken Leaves, he immediately hugged his fists and received the order, "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Yan Yun immediately led 10,000 men from his headquarters to re-climb Hegeling and detour the path to the north.

Two hours later, the Tang army began to advance northward in whole formations. After about two or three miles, the army of the Qarluqs also appeared on a grassland, and they also found the Tang army, and were fighting for the last time to rest, and the two armies stopped two miles apart.

At their peak, the Qarluq people numbered 500,000 and occupied the entire Broken Leaf Valley and the Daqingchi Valley. It was precisely because of its strength that it caused the worry of the Great Eclipse, and more than ten years ago it took back the broken leaves, forcing the Qarluqs to return to the west of Jinshan, and many Turkic people who depended on them left one after another, and since then the Qarluqs have begun to weaken, leaving only more than 400,000 people, despite this, 400,000 people are still a great force in Anxi, where there are many ethnic groups, second only to the Uighurs. Possess 70,000 elite Belt Armor Samurai.

The real decline of the Qarluqs was the Battle of Beiting five years ago, when their 50,000 elite troops were wiped out, and all kinds of military equipment and materials were lost. It was that battle that killed the Qarluqs to the point of trembling, migrated westward, and continued to fight among themselves, until today there are only more than 200,000 people left, this is a nomadic people who have gone into decline, if no one interferes with them, they will also slowly disappear in the long river of history like the Tuqishi people, the Daxi people, and the Gongyue people, but the Qarluq people have a big background. That is the Great Cannibal, although the Qarluq people have gone into decline, but the Great Cannibal is not willing to let them withdraw from the stage of history like this, and coerced and lured them out, gave them equipment, and granted them land, just like a sixty-year-old man who was conscripted, put on armor, armed with swords and guns, who can recognize their old body?

Most of the Qarluq troops in front of them were young people in their twenties, just like the Tang army.

The Tang army continued to advance, and the ground trembled slightly with every step of the Mo Dao army like a mountain. One hundred and fifty steps and eighty steps, the two sides can even see each other clearly, the first row of the Tang Army's three thousand Mo swords raised their long Mo swords, and swept towards the enemy formation with a murderous aura all over the world, and the war horses of the Qarlu Army in the first row felt this murderous aura, and began to feel uneasy, and retreated with a clatter, twisting their necks and neighing.

"The Mo Sword Army continues to advance, and the cavalry releases arrows!" The main general, Liang Tingyu, gave the first order.

The 10,000 cavalry on both flanks drew their bows and arrows. Arrows rained down like a rain, and thousands of arrows were fired in unison, and the long arrows whistled in arcs and flew towards the enemy, and the Qarlu army raised their shields one after another. However, the dense rain of arrows also tried to pass through the gaps in the shields, and the enemy soldiers caused heavy damage, and groups of Qarluq soldiers fell from their horses screaming.

Sixty paces, with the third round of arrows from the Tang army, the Qarlu army finally began to counterattack, they urged the war horses, and threw the short spears in their hands towards the Tang army, and thousands of black pressed short spears flew from the air. Hit on the heavy armor of the Mo Dao Army, there was a crisp jingle sound, and the short spears broke off and fell to the ground, but they could not pierce the heavy armor of the Mo Dao Army, only dozens of cavalry fell from their spears, and at this moment, the hearts of almost all the Qarlu people seemed to sink into the abyss.

"Kill!" The Qarlu army roared wildly, drew their swords and pounced on the Tang army, they had no formation. Just formed into a team of 100 people to fight, because the two armies are too close to each other, the speed of the Qarlu army has not been brought up and the Tang army has been short-handed, the Tang army Mo knife formation was launched, they lined up in three rows like a wall to advance, using the power of the waist to wave the Mo knife, like the tide rolling, invincible, the oncoming Qarlu cavalry was all cut into powder, in an instant. In front of Tang Jun, there was already a sea of corpses and a sea of meat. Blood stained the armor of the Tang army and stained the ground beneath his feet.

The Tang cavalry on both flanks was maneuverable, and some of the soldiers wielded their long lances to fight the enemy. Protecting the flanks of the Modao Army, the other part of the Tang Army was a team of 100 people, galloping vertically and horizontally in the enemy's formation, or swinging a horizontal lance, or opening a bow and arrows, attacking the enemy's ranks on both sides.

Only after more than half an hour, the Tang army killed the Qarlu army on their backs, with heavy casualties, especially the Qarluq soldiers in the front row, they had no way to retreat, they were rushed forward by the army behind, and rushed forward, but they were immediately split into pieces by the snowy Mo knife, and the Qarluq people were frightened, and the legend of the fathers became a living reality in front of their eyes.

When the Qarluqs found themselves far from being the opponents of the Tang army, their sharp energy suddenly disappeared without a trace, and their morale was unusually low, and more importantly, the Qarluq army was composed of various tribes, each tribe had its own generals, they fought separately, lacking a strong unified commander, Atre was too young to bear this heavy responsibility, in order to maintain the strength of his tribe, some tribes began to retreat, and an hour later, the signs of the Gharluq's rout had appeared.

Liang Tingyu frowned, he didn't expect the Qarlu people to be so vulnerable, and the Qarlu army in Beiting was very different, he knew that Yan Yun's 10,000 cavalry had no need to hide as backup, and directly entered the battle to outflank their back road, seeing that the enemy army was about to be defeated, and now it was too late to transfer them to outflank, Liang Tingyu immediately ordered: "After Wang Yongchen's battalion and Yang Han's battalion outflanked the enemy's army, cut off their back road, and let the red eagle summon Yan Yun's army into battle." ”

Under the order of the main general, two Tang cavalry teams of 2,000 people each rushed out from the left and right, like arrows from the string, and killed the rear army of the Qarluqs, and at the same time, a group of red eagles in the Tang army camp rose into the air and circled over the battlefield, which was a signal for the reinforcements to fight.

The battle finally turned into a bloody massacre, and the red-eyed Tang Army began to change formations, and the Modao Army in the second and third rows joined the battle, and the battle line was lengthened and turned into an arc-shaped knife wall, which began to shrink to the middle.

At this moment, the rear army of Atre and Sulman who were hiding in the rear army were also outflanked by the Tang army, and the original safest rear army has now become the weakest link, in the sharp attack of the Tang army wave after wave, the 5,000 Gelulu rear army was defeated and retreated, at this time, Surman suddenly found that there was another Tang army on the hills three miles away in the north, there were 10,000 people, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he shouted. With Atre with him, he fled westward.

When Yan Yundi's fresh army came from behind, the 30,000 Gelulu army finally collapsed, and the defeat was like a mountain, and the Tang army took advantage of the situation to cover up. Killed the Qarluq soldiers on their backs, blood flowed like a river, countless people surrendered on their knees, less than 3,000 people fled with Atley, more than 20,000 people were killed by the Tang army, 6,000 people were captured, and less than 300 people were killed by the Tang army, and the results were brilliant, that is, this battle. Doomed the Qarluqs to complete destruction.

"The Modao army led the prisoners of war back, and the cavalry continued to march north, making sure to cut down the Qarluqs to the roots." The main general, Liang Tingyu, gave the last order.

Two days later. 20,000 cavalry of the Tang Army arrived at the city of Hetush, this area is close to the Yili River, the pasture is abundant, the water is abundant, there are more than 100,000 Qarluqs living in tents, tents are distributed in the grassland within a radius of 100 miles, most of the young men went out to fight, leaving only 100,000 old and weak women and children and an army of less than 2,000 people, they mainly protect the lives of the nobles in the city of Hetush.

This morning, the guards on the watchtower of the city of Hatush suddenly noticed a black line in the distance. was galloping towards this side, and soon, the sentry saw clearly that it was tens of thousands of cavalry.

"When! While! While! "The rapid bell rang over the city of Hatush, and the Qarluq nobles who lived in the city ran out to inquire about what was happening.

"It's the Tang Army, the Tang Army is here!" The cavalry had already reached two miles away, and the sentries had already seen clearly that it was the Tang army who was coming.

The city of Hetush suddenly exploded. The nobles also didn't care about women and children, so they rode out on horseback, and there was a cry in the city, and the army that had been left to protect them was scattered, and the Tang army that came was tens of thousands of people, and they wanted to go back to protect their wives and children.

20,000 Tang troops arrived in an instant, surrounded the city of Haitush, dozens of fleeing nobles were chased by the Tang army and shot to death with arrows, Liang Tingyu rode in front of this small city. And he saw that the city was so poor that there was not even a gate. Not even as good as a small county town in the mainland, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously. "It's really beyond my power to dare to confront my Datang in this broken city."

"General, what are we going to do with these Qarluqs? Give it to us! Several young generals were eager to try, their faces full of excitement. Liang Tingyu glared at them fiercely, and said solemnly: "The emperor has an order first, it is not allowed to kill the women and children of the Qarlu people indiscriminately, and they will all be brought to the Broken Leaf Sect to become Han people, do you dare to disobey the emperor's order?" ”

Several generals lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say more, Liang Tingyu waved his hand and ordered: "Leave 5,000 people to clean up the city of Haitush, and the rest of the Tang army will be divided into 30 teams to drive away the scattered Qarluqs, with 300 li as the boundary, and after four days, they will converge here, during which they will not embezzle property or commit adultery with women, and those who dare to disobey the order will be punished by military law!" ”

The soldiers agreed, and the lieutenants rushed to the steppe with their soldiers, while the remaining Tang troops entered the city of Hetush and drove the thousands of Qarluq nobles and their families who lived in it out of the city, crying all the way, most of them were women and children, and only four or five elderly Qarluq nobles were mixed in the middle, looking panicked.

The Tang army also searched out all the wealth that the Qarluq people had robbed for decades, and piled it up outside the city, shining with golden light, like a brilliant treasure mountain, and countless cattle, sheep, and carriages drove out of the city, crying and shouting, cattle and sheep screaming, and the noise outside the city became a lot.

At this time, a general ran over and reported: "General Qiqi, all the people in the city have been driven out, and all their property has been moved. ”

"Good! Command the army to level the city of Hytush at once. ”

Thousands of Tang troops immediately rushed into the city, and in a moment, the sound of rumbling was everywhere, the dust was flying, and hundreds of Tang soldiers lassoed the city wall with long ropes, pulled hard, and the low city wall shook, and finally fell down.

Liang Tingyu watched coldly as the Tang army demolished the capital of the Qarluqs, and he glanced at the women and children who were trembling with fright, and then ordered: "Set up a tent three miles away, let these women and children go to the tent to stay temporarily, and don't frighten them." ”

Four days later, with the return of the last Tang army, the operation to drive out the Qarluqs finally ended, except for some people who lived far away, the rest of the Qarluqs within 300 miles of the old, weak, women and children were all driven here, there were more than 100,000 people, the banks of the Yili River were crowded with people, noisy and earth-shaking, there were more than 500,000 cattle and sheep and more than 100,000 horses driven to the place, except for the 20,000 Qarlu troops in the Demon Dragon City, here is almost all the goods of the Qarluqs.

On the night of the arrival of the people, 20,000 Tang troops escorted more than 100,000 Qarluqs and all their possessions, and began to march towards the south, the old people, women and children of the Qarluqs sat in the carriages, and the men rode horses and drove cattle and sheep to follow, the Tang army did not treat them cruelly, so that their hearts were at ease, the carriages creaked, the women in the carriages guarded their meager property, the children held the lambs, they stared blankly at the homes that were gradually moving away, not knowing what kind of fate would await them.

In July of the fifth year of the reign of Dazhi, 20,000 Tang cavalry brought back broken leaves from 140,000 old and weak women and children captured on the banks of the Yili River.

At the same moment, the governor of Samarkand, Agush, ordered the Tocharian army to go north and quickly rescue the Qarluqs
