Chapter 674: The Coalition Retreats

"Our Lady brothers! Let's go! Ying Hao stood on the high wall and shouted. Dozens of black-clothed people in black robes jumped up from the ground and landed beside Ying Hao, looking down indifferently.

"Western Regions Alliance? Hehe! I still look down on you, but it doesn't matter, the original goal has been achieved, and you are just being used by us as a flag, and then we still want to deal with the Tang Army, let's go first! Ying Hao sneered continuously, then unfolded his feather robe, and jumped from the high wall to the city wall like a big bird, and dozens of black-clothed people moved in unison with him, jumping towards the city wall one after another.

The city wall is dozens of zhang high, Ying Hao naturally could not jump directly on the city wall, but took out the hook lock in mid-air, threw it on the top of the city wall, and then climbed the city wall with the help of the hook lock, and then jumped off the city wall under the stunned gaze of the sentry on the city wall, and quickly disappeared from view.

"Ying Hao! Our Lady! The coalition generals knew that they seemed to have been deceived, and they gritted their teeth and hated the Cult of Our Lady.

If they are really used as a spearman by the Church of Our Lady, it will be too late for them to hate it! The price is too high!

The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers were completely at odds with the Tang Dynasty, and they couldn't afford this price!

"Ying Hao! I can't wait to skin you! A general roared.

"It doesn't make sense to say that now." Ju Li'an stepped forward and said to the generals: "At present, our army is broken, and the Tang army may catch up at any time, it is not suitable for us to continue to stay here, and the top priority should be to withdraw our troops as soon as possible and return to the Western Regions!" ”

"That's right!" Julian's suggestion was immediately agreed, they really didn't want to fight anymore, this war started inexplicably, the methods of the Holy Mother Sect to deceive people were very powerful, and their own king sent troops to participate in the battle in a daze, which was simply incomprehensible.

"It's time to go back, fighting any more will only cause meaningless sacrifices, I suggest withdrawing now!"

"That's right! Withdraw now! We don't have much grain and grass, and it is better to withdraw the army sooner rather than later, I remember that Yumen Pass should have a lot of grain and grass in reserve, so we simply went back to Yumen Pass, grabbed grain and grass, and then returned to China. ”

"Do you want to fight again? Will the hatred with the Tang Army be irresolvable? Some generals were worried.

"It's okay!" The general who made the suggestion said: "We just take the grain and grass, not slaughter the city, what's more, the Tang army probably thought that we had captured the two checkpoints of Yumen and Yangguan, and it was actually the same whether we fought or not!" ”

"Makes sense! We are now short of grain and grass, if we don't want to find a way to grab grain and grass, the army can't support the moment when we return home, we must choose a checkpoint to grab grain and grass supplies! ”

"Then the jade gate is closed! The closest to the route back! ”

"Good! Just the jade gate! Soon, the coalition generals reached a consensus and drove the army to retreat, aiming at Yumen Pass, wanting to grab grain and grass and return to the Western Regions.

On the way back, Ju Lian continued to win over the generals of other countries, and several times implicitly raised the irresolvable matter of the Western Regions Alliance.

He was afraid that as soon as he went back this time, the Tang army would immediately take Gaochang with a knife, so he had to seek an alliance. Otherwise, with him, Gaochang alone would not be able to fight against the Tang army at all.

In the same way, other small countries also have similar thoughts, and now what they have to face is how to calm the anger of the Tang army, if the tribute treasure and send envoys does not work, how can the Tang army insist on sending troops to them?

They remember very clearly how the invincible Tuguhun failed miserably.

A few years ago, Tuguhun relied on his strong national strength to dominate the Western Regions, repeatedly bullying the surrounding small countries, and even provoking the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty.

And finally? In the end, the Tang army invaded the interior of Tuguhun, and the royal family was chased by the Tang army for 2,000 miles, and finally was almost wiped out!

After this, Tuguhun was completely reduced to a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the glory of the past was not there, the national strength was damaged, and he could no longer toss any wind and waves, and last year he was even attacked by Tubo and almost wiped out again, and the former hegemon of the Western Regions is now extremely miserable.

These small countries did not have the strength of Tuguhun at the beginning, and they could not resist in the face of the anger of the Tang Dynasty, so they actively contacted various countries on the way back, hoping to take care of each other, in case the Tang army stepped on the iron horse, they would not be unprepared and waiting to be slaughtered.

When Hou Junji took the soldiers and horses to Anxi, he found that the Western Regions Coalition Army had already evacuated, leaving some people to deal with the aftermath of Anxi, and rushed to Suzhou without stopping.

In the end, he led his soldiers to Dunhuang.

When Chen Fei saw Hou Junji, Niu Jinda, and the army behind them, it was like seeing an old peasant of the People's Liberation Army, and he went up to give a warm salute, one uncle was long, and the uncle was short. Niu Jindahaha, who was patted by the horse, laughed, and even Hou Junji, who was not smiling, showed a smile.

"More than 10,000 troops resisted the onslaught of the enemy's nearly 200,000 army for several days, and also destroyed the enemy's main force of nearly 40,000, boy, this battle was well done! If you hadn't successfully blocked the coalition forces here, hit their morale, and dragged them for a few days, I'm afraid Liangzhou would have lost a long time ago, and once Liangzhou failed, the coalition forces only needed to stick to Liangzhou, and we might not be able to do anything with 100,000 troops. Boy, that's a good job! ”

Niu Jinda patted Chen Fei's shoulder again.

Chen Fei smiled shyly, noncommittal to Niu Jinda's praise. In all fairness, this is the compliment he deserves.

Why? Because the battle of Dunhuang is too important!

If the coalition forces captured Dunhuang as they did in Suzhou and Anxi, the Tibetans would not have withdrawn, the main force of the coalition forces would not have suffered so much loss, and the successive victories would have raised their morale.

Once Liangzhou is occupied, it can be directly taken as Guanzhong, and retreat can be out of the Western Regions, which can be described as offensive and defensive. Moreover, more than 200,000 troops occupied Liangzhou, and the 100,000 Tang troops brought by Hou Junji were bound to suffer a big loss.

At that time, the offense and defense may be reversed, if Hou Junji is defeated, then Datang will be finished! The Western Regions Alliance Army is like entering a no-man's land, and it can invade the pass in a big way, which is an immeasurable loss for the Tang Dynasty!

And Chen Fei and the others didn't know that at this moment, Xue Yantuo in the north had already led the army to the foot of Chang'an City and was preparing for the first round of siege! If they knew, they would be glad that they had blocked the enemy in Dunhuang, poked the enemy's spirit, and injured the enemy's main force, otherwise this turmoil would really threaten the foundation of the country, and the losses would be immeasurable!

"Hehe, it's really a hero out of a boy!" Hou Junji squinted his eyes and praised.

Chen Fei was stared at by him for a while, and it was better not to have too deep a relationship with him when he thought of Hou Junji's ending.

Niu Jinda seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "By the way, Zicheng (Chen Fei's words), in the letter to His Majesty before, he said that the matter of Tang Tai, the guard of the Jade Gate, what is going on, tell me in detail!" ”
