The battle was quite tragic, the Tang army lost as many as 1,000 people, including 300 casualties and 800 hanging, and some veterans who had spent peacefully in the second Battle of Dafeichuan were actually pushed to the ground alive, fell off the cliff, and died a very pity.

The enemy was killed about 1,600 people, and the Tang army did not make much profit, so the Tang army called the mountain road here Domino Ridge to commemorate the dominoes that pushed the dominoes to the people of Shupantuo to knock down so many of their own brothers.

There are many dead people, and the benefit is to capture this mountain, the Tang army continues to advance, although it also encounters the attack of hidden arrows and flying stones, but it does not affect the overall situation, and the Tang army advances steadily.

Later, I learned that this was the strong army of the country's great Vushtuo, and he was defeated, and the others had reservations and refused to fight to the death with the Tang army.

There is no danger on this road, to be honest, this road is a dangerous checkpoint, and the people of Shupantuo did not expect that the Tang Army or anyone would go on an expedition, and the progress was so fast!

The Tang army successfully entered the capital of the Shupantuo country, and they saw a big city under the snow peak, called Moyun City, the city is ten meters high, the circumference is six or seven miles, and the city wall is made of stones one by one, which looks quite strong and dangerous.

Then they saw that the army of the Shupantuo Kingdom was fighting against the city, and there were 5,000 people.

Where's the fear? Their armor?

It is all leather armor, and there is very little iron armor, which is only worn on the officers (iron armor is not liked in alpine areas, and when it is cold and cold, it is not good to stick iron tools to the hand, and it is not good to have a layer of skin, and leather armor can also play a role in keeping warm).

Their weapons are shoddy, large, but brittle, and they fall off at the touch of a slag.

There are very few bows and arrows (too cold, the strings are prone to deterioration), and the skills in combat are poor.

What is like this is that their bodies are relatively strong, but from the eyes of the officers of the Tang Army, they have not undergone any systematic training at all, and it is expected that their combat effectiveness is not remarkable.

An absurd scene appeared in front of the Tang army, only to see hundreds of great monks, in front of the army of the state of Shupantuo to do the rituals, burning incense to worship the Buddha and ringing the bell or something, straight to the front of the military array Sanskrit singing array, Buddha incense floated straight to the nose of the Tang army, it was quite fragrant, refreshing.

It seems that those great monks are praying for the blessing of the Supantuo army!

The Tang army didn't know where to go, and the people of Shupantuo heard that the Tang army was coming all the way, and they were about to arrive at the capital, and their national teacher Gu Mozhi said unashamedly: "What is the Tang army, when this seat is in front of the battle, we will be able to bless the Buddha power for our army, and if we are invulnerable, we will be able to break the Tang army!" ”

Originally, although the people of Shupantuo are vicious, but they believe in Buddhism, build temples everywhere, quite pious, there are more than 10 Garan, there are many monks, there are two stone rooms in the big stone cliff in the southeast of the city, there is an Arhat in each room, sit upright, the shape is like a winning person, the skin remains are not worthy, its hair is eternal, so the monks must shave their hair and change their clothes every year.

Since there is this Buddha trace, there is a national teacher in the court, and he has a lot of power, he said that the Tang army can be defeated, and everyone believes it.

Knowing that the other party is doing things to bless the Buddha's power, performing hard there, singing and shouting, the Tang army is also superstitious, and people are blessed by Buddhism, how to fight this battle?

Seeing that his subordinates were worried, Wang Xiaojie didn't need to say a word, and showed Wei Xi's general flag in front of the army.

Tang Jun's eyes all looked down at this embroidered "Wei" word Daxu, embroidered with a golden two-winged flying tiger, it is said to be embroidered by Princess Taiping (that is nonsense, in the name of pretending, Wei Xi said that her embroidery is miserable, of course, in front of her can not say so, otherwise she will be beaten into Amitabha Buddha ----full of bags), the general's flag is here, the general is here!

The army's heart is at peace!

Let's say that the great monks did enough rituals, gave the army wine and water, and recited incantations, and the people and horses of the Shupantuo people rushed over in a noisy.

The front of the Tang army is the Mo sword soldiers, and the back of the army all raised their bows and arrows, and when they entered the firing range, the arrows suddenly shot out in a volley like a torrential rain, and several rows of crossbow arrows were thrown into the ranks of the Shupantuo people, "Ahh......h

But there was no turning back, and they continued to rush forward, the swords of the Tang army's front army were flattened, and they were all half-kneeling, only to hear the swishing gusts of wind flying overhead, and the violent flat fire of the Tang army's arrows all pierced the enemy on the opposite side through the chest, and the miserable howl was loud, and everyone in front was killed and wounded.

The cold in the heart of the Shupantuo people is rising, and the mage's method is invalid!

He could only rush against the rain of arrows, and then he saw the terrifying power of the Tang Army's Mo Sword Array.

Every knife is as heavy as thunder, and it will make the head of the Shupantuo people, the arms out of the body, and the body open a big gap!

Their weapons were vulnerable in front of the Mo Dao, the Tang Army did not show the Mo Dao soldiers, and they were not used until the confrontation in the big array, the Mo Dao soldiers killed wildly in front of the formation, and the bows and arrows in the back kept shooting, killing the Shupantuo people were defeated and defeated, and the five thousand troops had to flee back to the city with only one thousand people, while the Tang army died less than thirteen people!

Finally got out of the bad luck of Domino Ridge, and everyone looked at the dead bodies everywhere in the city, and they all shouted excitedly and shouted "Datang Wansheng".

And the flag on Moyun City hung low, the tone was not obvious, and the clouds were gloomy.

Now the country of Shupantuo is embarrassed, it can't win and can't fight, and it has no capital to surrender (it's good to say that it has an army).

In a dilemma, the Tang army was not verbose, and went straight outside the city to build trebuchets, polish stone bullets, stack fire bombs (they only brought fire bombs over), and completed it that night

The trebuchet bombarded the city wall with cannons, smashing the city and shaking the hearts of the defenders and civilians of the city.

That night, I saw the Tang army taking stones and cutting trees outside the city, the lights were bright, and it continued overnight, and I was shocked.

The Tang army fought at night, and the five trebuchets were laid out in a row (thanks to their luck), constantly bombarded, and all of them made noise, and there were very few people in Moyun City who could sleep at night.

At dawn, Wang Xiaojie taught the soldiers to have breakfast, rested for a while, and set up a majestic military formation outside the city, which ran through Changhong, and then the military Han shot the surrender credit ballista into the city to intimidate them into the city.

The conditions are lenient, as long as the state of Shupantuo surrenders, then the Tang army will choose one of the direct descendants of the king of Shupantuo to be the king and not destroy the country.

Otherwise, go into the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!

Wang Xiaojie's strategy did not limit him to Wei Xi, it was up to him to decide, and Wang Xiaojie's official position was already very high, and he didn't need to kill too many people to gain prestige, so he gave a way out to the country of Shupantuo.

In other words, murderers like Shi Wanchao have exclusive power, and they will start a war without even asking, and the end will definitely be a slaughter of the city.

The deadline is three o'clock in the afternoon, and if you don't reply, you will have to kill.

So they erected a long pole under the city, and looked at the reflection of the rod to know the hour, and at a quarter of noon, a white flag was erected on the city, and the gates of the city were opened, and the king of Shupantuo bound himself out of battle!

The southern road from Shanshan (now Ruoqiang), through the end of the end, Jingjue (now Minfeng Niya ruins), Khotan (now Hotan), Pishan, Shache to Shule. From Shule to the west, over the green ridge (now Pamir), that is, the state of Shupantuo.

Zhidawan (present-day Ferghana). From there, they traveled west to Bactria (in present-day Afghanistan), Sogdia (in present-day Uzbekistan), Anxi (in present-day Iran), and as far as Lijing (also known as Lixuan, in Alexandria, Egypt) in Daqin (eastern Roman Empire).
