Chapter 505: Mao Sui Recommends Himself ("Starling is a Meow" Happy Birthday Beauty!) )
After learning the details of this battle with the Tang army who reported the news, Li Jing waved his hand, Shi Lei and they basically don't have to run this trip again, and there should be no more Tuyuhun soldiers and horses who dare to fight here in a short period of time, because as expected, Murong Fuyun, who belongs to the rabbit, heard that the battle plan he thought would be calculated was all lost, and he took his escort troops and fled towards Tuyuhun's heart without thinking.

It seems that they are still pinning their hopes on relying on the difficult terrain and harsh environment to drag down the Tang army, or discourage them from continuing the pursuit. However, it has been killed to this extent, and Li Jing will obviously never give up.
Under his personal supervision, the Chinese army and Li Daliang, who had taken a break, continued to embark on the journey, and chased after Fu Yun and killed him. Shi Lei still has to do his duty of leading the party, and the nomadic tribal guides who are familiar with the local situation to explore Fu Yun's traces.
Under the unremitting pursuit of Shi Lei, they continued to go deep into the hinterland of Tuguhun and kept approaching the desert area where the environment was becoming more and more harsh. Until here in the Chihai Sea, Shi Lei and they ushered in the most difficult bone to gnaw since entering Tuyuhun - the alliance of the three tribes of Tianzhu, and it is also the most elite, the largest number of people, and the most determined to resist in the entire Tuyuhun.
From the name, it is not difficult to see that these guys are all clansmen under the command of King Tianzhu, a heavy minister of Tugu Hun, and King Tianzhu is the main mastermind who instigated Fu Yun and constantly harassed the Tang border, which means that he is a staunch anti-Tang faction, and his direct forces are naturally the most exclusive to the Tang army.
Because of a very simple truth, as long as the Tang Dynasty takes Tuyuhun, can the Tianzhu King, the anti-Tang backbone, still have good fruits to eat? In addition to going black one way on the road of anti-Tang, he really has no second way to choose.
Before Li Jing's Northern Route Army ushered in the most important battle, Li Daozong and Hou Junji on the Southern Front were naturally not idle.
The Tang army marched more than 2,000 miles in the desert area of the South Road, and the conditions along the way were extremely difficult, even tragic, especially when passing through the Poluo Zhen Valley, the local frost would also fall in midsummer, and there was an extreme lack of water and grass.
After such an arduous journey, they caught up with Fu Yun in Wuhai, the dead rabbit who had just run out of Shi Lei's hands, broke through the crowd and captured his famous Wang Xiaojun.
Fu Yun led some of the remaining loyal guards and continued to run towards more inhospitable places, apparently intending to simply squat in the Tuyu River, that is, the Taklamakan Desert in the later generations, or run farther and defect to Khotan in order to make a comeback.
The battle between Shi Lei and the three tribes of Tianzhu was definitely the most tragic battle since they entered Tuyuhun. On the wasteland of Yima Pingchuan, both sides had already discovered the existence of the other party, and the enemy army had set up their positions early, making it clear that the carriages and horses were going to have a decisive battle with Shi Lei and them.
So there is no doubt that this is a dignified positional battle, there is no tricks to play at all, it is a hard-to-face confrontation, and the competition is the courage and hard power of both sides, and there is no fake.
Although the Tuyuhun army, which had no way to retreat, was somewhat intimidated by the prestige of the Tang army, it did not lack the courage to fight to the death, and the Tang army was even more fearless of any opponent. Therefore, the battle is also extremely fierce.
But in a positional war, Datang is the real expert, so although the enemy's will to resist is relatively resolute, the gap in strength is still not small, and the quality of the generals on both sides is also a little far behind.
Even if the brave generals that the other party is proud of run into Shi Lei and their non-human gang, they will not play a positive role at all. On the contrary, because these famous warriors among the Tuyuhun people were all in Shi Lei's hands, they couldn't move a move, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the ordinary soldiers, and the courage they had finally mustered up was almost scattered.
Then the battle situation naturally fell in a direction that was more favorable to the Tang Dynasty, and they were pressed and beaten by the Tang army in all directions, including the cavalry team they were most proud of, and they were constantly chiseled through by Shi Lei and them again and again, and they were all gone, allowing Shi Lei to go in and out.
The battle naturally ended in a great victory for the Tang Dynasty, and there were not many captured enemies, most of them were killed or scattered, but the enemy generals were basically left behind.
The biggest harvest is still all kinds of livestock, this time it is more than 200,000 heads of miscellaneous animals, who makes this Chihai is the real core area of Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun City and Fuqi City are all around, here it has become a rare prosperous area of Tuyuhun, the number of all kinds of livestock is relatively large, it is a very important symbol.
After this battle, Tuyuhun's biggest resistance force was wiped out, and the Tang army and Fu Yun were basically separated by harsh terrain. All he needed was to run fast and keep up with the rabbit guy, and as for the little bit of poor strength left around him, it was a bit of a no-brainer.
Therefore, under the personal mobilization of Li Jing, the Tang army on the North Road passed through Jishi Mountain and crossed the source of the river, until the end. And Hou Junji on the southern line also led his troops to cross the Xingsu River to Baihai and Li Jing's Chinese army, and at the same time prevent Fu Yun from changing the route and running out from the south.
At this time, the only remaining task is to kill Fu Yun himself, of course, he can be captured alive and returned to Chang'an to be a person, every day like Jieli Khan, he has to practice dancing hard, and every time there is a major festival, he has to come out to show off his dance posture for everyone, so it will be even better.
This is the best way for Datang to swear force, the original Khan of a country, can only be a dancing girl in Datang, is there a more conspicuous warning and a more humiliating punishment than this.
After arriving at the end, Shi Lei and the others were even more sure that Fu Yun, who had no way to retreat, had indeed escaped into the Desert of Tuyuan River with the remnants of his subordinates. However, after Shi Lei counted several advantages of his side, this task still fell to him.
Shi Lei has been serving as the vanguard of the army, and he is responsible for constantly reporting Fu Yun's location, so he has the most say in tracking Fu Yun.
The flying eagles and dogs he trained single-handedly have always performed very eye-catching, and they have indeed won the trust of all the generals in the Tang Army.
What's more, Shi Lei also put forward another major advantage of theirs, the yak herds who have also made great achievements for his battles have also relied on their performance along the way to prove their excellence, especially in the desert climate, their existence can completely become Shi Lei's logistical guarantee.
Turong River is an endless desert, it is difficult to say where to meet the oasis, for the Tang army who does not know the desert terrain, it is basically a matter of pure luck.
And Shi Lei himself can carry water and meat and milk with him, compared with other Tang troops, it is naturally a big advantage, and there will be no risk of dying of thirst and starvation before he catches up with the enemy.
Therefore, after combining these several advantages, Li Jing and the others praised Qi Bi He Li, who was dedicated to his efforts, and still handed over the task to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei brought all the supplies, filled all the water tanks on the cow, and then rushed into the desert without hesitation.
