readx; In the Yin Mountain, the war drums are like thunder, the overwhelming Hui army is surging like a wild wave, the black cavalry is like a huge carpet, covering the entire gorge, the war horse is galloping, the murderous spirit is soaring, this is 15,000 Hui cavalry launched an impact. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the Beishan Pass, 10,000 Tang army infantry crossbows and 6,000 cavalry crossbows were already in array, the infantry was lined up in three rows, the cavalry was lined up in two rows, and 16,000 crossbow arrows were brushed to the ground, and the cold crossbow arrows were aimed at the whistling Hui cavalry.

The Hui cavalry is getting closer and closer, and has entered a hundred steps, the shouts resounded through the Yin Valley, and their hideous faces can already be clearly seen, the cavalry raised their swords, and the impact momentum formed by the fifteen thousand cavalry was extremely spectacular, as if the entire Yin Mountain was trembling......

In the ranks of the Tang Army, the commander He Lou Yurun's face was indifferent, in his eyes, these Hui cavalry seemed to be already walking corpses, no different from dead people, his voice echoed in the wind: "Prepare to shoot - shoot!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The dense drum sounded, the first round of 6,000 crossbow arrows of the Tang army came out of the string, dense as flying locusts, and the black pressure formed an overwhelming arrow net, and instantly roared to the enemy group, the arrows were strong, and in an instant, the Hui cavalry turned over on their backs, the war horses slammed to the ground, and the cavalry was thrown out, and then they were swept into the dense horse hooves, and the horses stepped like mud, so that the impact momentum of the Hui army was stagnant......

But in the second round another six thousand crossbow arrows whizzed to the ..... The third round of 3,000 crossbow arrows was fired to ..... Another round of 6,000 crossbow arrows arrived, and the Tang army fired in three rounds of ground shooting, and the cycle continued, and the Hui cavalry seemed to be moving forward in a dense storm and arrow rain, breathless, with heavy casualties and blood mist, and their impact was always concentrated between 100 and 50 steps, and they could not break through the life and death line of 50 steps.

The dead bodies of the war horses and the Uighur soldiers had been piled up on the fifty-step line, forming a two-zhang wide barrier of dead bodies, and in fact, it was difficult for the Uighur troops behind to cross this barrier.

Three miles away, tens of thousands of Hui cavalry were watching the breakthrough of their own army, the Tang army's overwhelming arrows made them chill, Gele Khan saw that the forward impact army had been killed and wounded more than half, and his heart was extremely depressed, but he had no choice, he had just received the news, his old nest Han Erba Li had been taken by the Tang army, Tongluo and Shatuo people, so that Gele was angry and anxious, the Tang army might still show mercy, but Tongluo and Shatuo people, etc., those are his mortal enemies, he can imagine the tragic experience of his people, he is going crazy.

"Add another 20,000 troops, order Shi Chaoyi, break through the blockade of the Tang army for me no matter what, and if it fails again, let him come to see him!"

Gele Khan was ruthless, and 20,000 Hui cavalry rushed up all over the mountains, he wanted to press the whole army, but he was afraid that the whole army would be annihilated, and he was extremely conflicted in his heart.

In addition to the 16,000 crossbow troops of the Tang army, there are 50,000 cavalry of the Tang army waiting for the crossbow one mile away, and the main commander will be Li Sheng, who has already given him the entire interception command.

Li Sheng divided the 150,000-strong army into three squads, and monitored and intercepted the breakthrough of the Hui army day and night, not giving them a chance.

At this time, Li Sheng also discovered the movement of the Hui army's troops, and he gave an order, "Add another 15,000 crossbows!" ”

Immediately, there were three Tang cavalry cavalry urging horses to meet the battle, so that the Tang army crossbowmen exceeded 30,000 people, this is an incomparably powerful crossbow army, and it is also the largest number of crossbow troops invested in Anxi over the years, the bow army and the Modao army have always been the two sharpest armies of the Tang Dynasty to deal with the nomads, especially the 10,000-person crossbow array, which is the nightmare of the grassland cavalry.

The well-trained Tang army was vividly reflected at this moment, and the 30,000 crossbow army, under the command of the military banner, quickly changed formations, merged and arranged, and once again formed a new three-stage shooting formation in a very short time, but this time it was more powerful, and each round was shot with 10,000 arrows.

More than 20,000 Hui cavalry were like a strong wind blowing in the mountains, thousands of troops and horses rushed towards the Tang army camp, the horses' hooves were beating on the Yin Mountain, the momentum was terrifying, but the 30,000 Tang cavalry were as steady as Mount Tai, and 30,000 crossbows were brushed up together, coldly aiming at the Hui cavalry rushing like a stormy wave.....

"Shoot!"

The drums beat loudly, ten thousand arrows fired in unison, the powerful arrows were like a storm rolled up by death, and in an instant they swept into the dense Hui cavalry group, screaming, neighing, prostrate and falling, when a round of 30,000 crossbow arrows shot into the Hui cavalry group, it was like an autumn wind and autumn rain sweeping the fallen leaves, after a gust of wind and rain, the Hui cavalry group has been killed and wounded nearly thirty percent.

One of the deputy generals who commanded this breakthrough was Shi Chaoyi, Gele already hated him to the core, and put all the responsibility on his head, if he didn't come to ask for help, how could Hui Hui face the crisis of being destroyed, Shi Chaoyi was forced to go into battle in person, as the shock commander, that is, the captain of the death squad.

In the first round of fiasco, he narrowly escaped death, but the war horse was shot down, and he escaped with a life, but in the second round, the 20,000 troops pressed again, and he became the striker again.

Shi Chaoyi felt that he had no way to live, he only begged for death, Shi Chaoyi brandished his war knife and shouted loudly: "Rush forward!" Rush out of the bloody road! ”

At this moment, the second round of 30,000 of the Tang army was launched again, like a swarm of locusts sweeping across the grassland, and once again pounced into the cavalry of the Hui people, this time Shi Chaoyi did not have the favor of the god of luck, he was shot by three crossbow arrows at the same time, screamed, fell off the horse, and a crossbow arrow pierced his heart, Shi Chaoyi was killed on the spot.

Gele Khan on the high slope witnessed Shi Chaoyi being shot to death, and he had no mercy on Shi Chaoyi's death, but his elite Hui soldiers were killed by the crossbow arrows of the Tang army like grass mustard, which made his heart drip blood, and if he rushed down, he could only be wiped out.

Gol Khan had nothing to do, he had to give up this breakthrough painfully, "The whole army retreats to the camp!" ”

This is already the failure of his seventh breakthrough, and the cumulative number of casualties has exceeded 50,000, even if the entire army is pressed up, the Tang army also has 50,000 troops waiting for a mile away, and the more people there are, the more they will die.

As soon as he gave the order, the remaining 16,000 or so Hui cavalry retreated like a tide, and then the army retreated into the camp, leaving only corpses and wounded soldiers groaning in pain on the battlefield, and the bright red stained the mountain grasslands.

Li Sheng saw that the Hui cavalry had retreated, so he ordered: "Except for those who are lightly wounded and can be captured, the rest of the seriously wounded will be killed!" ”

．．．．．．．．．

Although the Tang army camp still did not use the camp fence, this time they built three seven-foot-high earthen walls within one mile close to the camp, and the three earthen walls were about five miles long to defend against the impact of the Hui cavalry.

The 150,000-strong camp of the Tang army was densely packed. Stretching for several miles, they have blocked the main force of the Hui in the Yin Mountain for a full month, and have repelled the Hui cavalry six times in a row to break through, and have successfully blocked the Hui in the Yin Mountain.

Li Qing'an is not in a hurry, he wants to completely trap this main force of the Hui, he needs to give Cui Qianyou time, he got the news of Cui Qianyou, the Tang-Hu coalition army combed the remnants of the Hui and Turkic tribes in the grassland like a grate, and drove them all to the city of Han'erduo Bali, the grassland of Han'erduo Bali has gathered five or six hundred thousand people, and it is about to be completed.

It's already the beginning of June, and the weather is getting hotter, which also indicates that the time to return to Beijing is approaching.

The northwest corner of the barracks is a special place, here is the field hospital of the Tang Army, composed of more than 500 tents, is the only barracks surrounded by barracks, there are 1,000 female escorts in the barracks, they have received strict medical treatment training, and began to take on the important task of rescuing the wounded soldiers of the Tang Army and the Hui Army.

There were not many wounded soldiers in Li Qing'an's department, mainly more than 1,000 wounded soldiers when Shi Siming was annihilated, and most of the wounded soldiers came from Li Guangbi's troops, and they fought a vicious battle with the Turkic cavalry left in Jiujiuquan, killing more than 2,000 people and wounding more than 5,000 soldiers, and now all the wounded soldiers were sent to Li Qing'an's camp for treatment.

The 1,000 female guards were commanded by the female lieutenant general Gao Wu, and she led the 1,000 female guards a little later, just in time for the battle against Shi Siming.

The big tent was busy, most of the wounded soldiers of the Tang army were in stable condition, and they were slowly waiting for recovery in the camp, and these days the rescuers were all Hui lightly wounded soldiers, and after they were treated, they would become mining laborers in the Tang Dynasty.

There were nearly 100 people lying in the largest tent, they were all wounded soldiers who had just been sent, they groaned in pain, but no one resisted, the interpreter had told them that this was saving their lives, as prisoners of war of the Tang Army, at least one life could be saved, and almost all the Hui soldiers were obediently receiving treatment.

Almost all of them were arrow wounds, taking arrows, stripping away bad meat, stopping bleeding, disinfecting, bandaging, and the female guards were skillful, and they also learned a little simple Turkic language, telling them that their lives were saved, and that they were recuperating from their wounds, so that these Uighur soldiers were grateful to them one by one.

Gao Wu was dressed in silver fine armor, accompanied by three female escorts, inspected one large camp after another, she was the supreme general of the field hospital, no matter who it was, even if Li Qingan was injured and came here for treatment, he had to listen to her obediently.

After Li Qing'an's Luzhou campaign, Gao Wu went to Taiyuan, she stayed in Taiyuan for more than half a year, recruited a thousand female guards, trained them, and learned hard medical skills with them.

During this period of time, Gao Wu's heart was very calm, she thought about it for almost a whole year, although Li Qingan was willing to marry her, but Gao Wu finally decided not to enter the palace, she was unwilling to lose her freedom, she preferred the freedom of galloping unfettered horses on the grassland, rather than being locked up in the deep palace, losing her freedom, just spending her life so bitterly, or participating in the intrigue in the palace, that is not the life she wants, although Li Qingan is the only man she loves in her life, but not all of her life, freedom, is the biggest pursuit of her life, she is twenty-five years old, ten years of training and stumbling, after being accepted by Li Qing'an, the perception and loss, so that she finally found her own way of life.

She will not marry anyone again, she will become a female soldier for the rest of her life, bringing out batches of female soldiers for Datang, she hopes that she will always become a free bird.

"General Gao, the general is here, waiting for you outside."

A female soldier reported at the door, almost all the female soldiers knew the relationship between Gao Wu and His Royal Highness King Zhao, and it was not surprising that His Royal Highness King Zhao was looking for their general.

"I see!"

Gao Wu smiled, turned around and walked out of the camp.

She had already told Li Qing'an about her decision, she thought she would be scolded by Li Qing'an angrily, but she didn't expect him to support her decision, which made her both relieved, but there was an indescribable loss, did Li Qing'an not care about her?

But in the end, she still understood that Li Qingan didn't care about her, but understood her and respected all her decisions.

Li Qing'an did not enter the gate of the field hospital, but waited at the gate of the camp gate, looking at Gao Wu and walking briskly to this side, her thin figure made Li Qing'an seem to see her again ten years ago, the Anxi little lady who was galloping freely on the land of Anxi with a bow and arrow, remembering that she shot an arrow through her black panther skin, remembering her concern when she was drunk, and the mirror, she gave herself a gift when she was on the expedition to Xiao Bolu, and she didn't know where she put it.

Li Qingan didn't expect that Gao Wu would eventually choose to be free, but he could understand that as soon as she entered the Tang Palace, she was as deep as the sea, she originally belonged to the boundless sky, belonged to the boundless grassland, she was a bird free in the sky, a horse galloping on the grassland, she was free, the high walls of the Daming Palace did not belong to her, and the stereotypical and solemn deep palace would strangle her, but he was still a little worried.

"Shichiro!"

Gao Wu walked over briskly, with a smile on her face, and the two of them were as steady as when she inspected the barracks just now, if her female guards saw it, they would be very surprised, their female generals were so young and lively.

Li Qingan smiled bitterly, "Among the millions of troops in the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid you are the only one who calls me Qilang." ”

"Why, don't you call me? Or do you want me to call you a general like everyone else? ”

Gao Wu looked at Li Qing'an with a smile, now her heart knot has been completely untied, and she is no longer obsessed with a relationship like in the past, this is a kind of epiphany, and Li Qing'an's imminent accession to the throne is the key to her epiphany, it turns out that Li Qing'an is no longer the former Anxi Xiao Li general, he will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

And what she likes is not the Tang Emperor, but Li Qilang, who is unparalleled and cheerful and laughing.

"You can call whatever you like!"

Li Qingan smiled slightly, "Go out with me, I want to go to the front line to see." ”

"Good! You wait for me. ”

Gao Wu walked back to the big tent quickly, and for a moment, Gao Wu rode a horse and galloped, she was wearing fine silver armor, a silver helmet, a horizontal knife in her waist, long legs and high boots, looking heroic, Li Qingan couldn't help but cheer, "What a heroic female general!" “

"Let's go!"

Li Qing'an urged the war horse, and the two of them went directly out of the camp from the north and ran towards the battlefield to intercept the Hui army.

"Shichiro, when will this battle end?" The high fog slowed down the horse's speed.

"Come on! I don't really want to drag it out. ”

Li Qingan suddenly looked at her strangely, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Gao Wu sighed faintly: "I had a dream last night, I dreamed that my father was alone on the Tubo Plateau, and if the battle is over, I want to go and see my father." ”

Li Qing'an didn't speak, they walked side by side, Gao Wu glanced at her, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want me to go?" ”

"Why didn't you go to see your father?"

Li Qingan shook his head and sighed, "I understand now, everything can go well in life, I told you last time, if you are willing to marry me, I will love you for the rest of your life, but everything is up to you to choose, if you are willing to follow me, then you must endure the lonely court life, and there is no turning back." ”

"You..... Do you want me to enter the palace? Gao Wu asked him tentatively again.

"I hope!"

Li Qingan stared at her deeply, "I will take care of you for the rest of my life, I don't want you to wander alone outside, although you are free, but you are human after all, and people want to have a home." ”

Gao Wu only felt that her nose was sour, she bit her lip, and asked in a low voice, "If one day I am tired outside, can I come home?" ”

Li Qingan didn't speak, he should answer, Daming Palace will always be open for you, however, he is very conflicted in his heart, he hopes that Gao Wu will choose a free life, but he doesn't want Gao Wu to wander alone outside, he can't answer Gao Wu's question, he sighed slightly, "You should know the answer." ”

"But I want you to tell me personally!" Gao Wu said stubbornly.

Li Qingan nodded, "As long as you want, you can come back at any time." ”

At this moment, the shouts of the pro-soldiers suddenly came from the distance, "General! ”

Immediately, a personal soldier galloped in, "Please return to the barracks quickly, someone asks to see the general." ”

"Who is it?"

The soldiers whispered a few words to him, Li Qingan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to Gao Wu: "Wu Niang, let's go back!" I have important things to attend to. ”

Gao Wu felt a little sad in her heart, and she whispered, "You go back!" I want to walk around alone. ”

Li Qingan took a deep look at her, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the camp.

Gao Wu looked at Li Qing'an's back and gradually walked away, her eyes finally turned red, and two tears rolled out of her eyes.

"Shichiro, why do you have to be the emperor?"

．．．．．．．．

Li Qing'an returned to the camp like a gust of wind, and he asked sharply, "Where are the people?" ”

I saw that the soldiers brought a few Turkic officers forward, and the general at the head was none other than Gu Jin, who knelt down, "Sin Servant Gu Jin, knock on the general!" ”

Fu Gu Jin has been cornered, after they annihilated the Shatuo Department, they turned to the east of the city of Kedun, where they captured tens of thousands of sheep, got food supplies, the army was ready to come back to take the family to Juyanhai, but on the way heard the news of the annihilation of Shi Siming and the Fu Gulie, their family members were all captured by the Tang army, Fu Gu Jin's army was in chaos, countless soldiers clamored to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, looking for their wives and daughters.

After negotiation again and again in the army, they finally made a decision to surrender the whole army to the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the most risky one is Fu Gujing, he once shot Li Siye to death with an arrow, if he surrenders to the Tang army, I am afraid that he will be immediately dismantled by the Tang army, he wants to gamble, with his own life to gamble.

Li Qingan didn't help him up, but looked at him coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you and sacrifice General Li Siye with your head?" ”

Fu Gu replied in a loud voice: "May I ask the general, did I enter the camp to assassinate General Li Siye, or did I assassinate him by despicable means?" When the two armies fight, either you die or I live, is there still a word of revenge? If you want to take revenge, he kills like hemp, how can he accept the revenge of others, of course, you can kill me, I am here for the soldiers of the servant bones, I am not afraid of death, but I ask the general to spare their lives. ”

Li Qingan nodded, "It's okay to surrender, but you have to accept the assimilation of the Tang Dynasty, are you willing?" ”

"Yes!" They discussed for a long time, and it was uncomfortable to accept assimilation, but the soldiers were bent on finding their wives and daughters, and they didn't care anymore.

Li Qingan stared at him for a long time and said slowly: "Okay! I'll give you a choice, I can spare your life, make you the governor of Shuozhou, and place your servants and bones in Henan Province as farmers, but at the same time you have another choice, if you are willing to give me the head, let me give an explanation to the Anxi army, in return, I can let your tribe go to Hexi as a herdsman, for me to herd horses in the Tang Dynasty, you can choose one of the two choices. ”

Fu Gujing was shocked, he slowly lifted himself up and walked away, looking at Li Qing'an, "What does the general say?" ”

Li Qingan smiled proudly, "I am the envoy of the Anxi Festival, the general of the Tang Dynasty, the king of Zhao, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, Tian Khan, you say, will I break my promise for a small servant?" ”

"Good!"

Fu Gujin stood up, turned back to several chiefs who came with him, and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhao has promised us to continue our herding life, you go back and let everyone come and surrender!" ”

"Prince no!" Several chiefs shouted.

Fu Gu Yao pulled out his long knife and looked up to the sky and laughed, "Kill me alone, in exchange for the health of the whole family of the Servant Bone Division, how worthwhile!" ”

He stabbed his chest with a backhand, slowly fell to the ground and died, several clansmen knelt in front of him to caress the corpse and wept bitterly, Li Qingan sighed secretly, and ordered to the left and right: "You can bury him with the gift of a prince!" ”

Then he said to some of the chieftains, "Go and bring the men!" Since I have promised, I will not go back, my family will return it to you, and you can go to Ganzhou and Suzhou to graze. ”

Several servant chiefs kowtowed to Li Qingan with tears in their eyes, and thanked him and left.

．．．．．．．．

Three days later, 20,000 cavalry and the last 10,000 remnants of Shi Siming's army formally surrendered to the Tang army, and Li Qing'an confiscated their weapons and ordered them to be taken to Shuozhou to reunite with their families.

Immediately, Li Qing'an issued an order to attack the Hui garrison in an all-out way, in the afternoon two days later, a total of 300,000 Tang troops on the north and south roads of Yinshan launched the last battle, at this time the Hui army only had 50,000 people, morale was low, the military spirit was seriously shaken, under the fierce attack of the 300,000 Tang army, the Hui were defeated in a battle, they were killed all over the field, the army was defeated, the 50,000 Hui army was killed by the Tang army nearly 30,000 people, the remaining 20,000 were captured, the Hui Gel Khan committed suicide in despair.

At this point, the last 100,000 troops of the Hui were completely annihilated.

．．．．．．．．．

On the vast grassland, a team composed of 600,000 herdsmen from various Hui tribes began the mighty southward migration, women and children sat on the carriage, men rode horses with them, the carriage put all their belongings, they bid farewell to the grassland, and went to the hinterland of the distant Central Plains.

300,000 Tang troops escorted 600,000 herdsmen, carrying millions of cattle and sheep booty and countless cattle and sheep skins and other grassland materials, and began to triumph towards the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, it was June of the third year of Qingping, and three months later, the Tang Dynasty issued an order to relocate 100,000 Han military households from Henan, Guannei, Hedong, and Guanzhong to settle in the grasslands south of Yinshan Mountain, and each household was given three hectares of land as Yongye land, and tax exemption for 30 years.

In the following year, the tax exemption order was expanded again, and the imperial court issued an order to reclaim the borders, with Bohai Road, Monan, Anxi, and Hezhong as the four sides, and all Han people who were willing to migrate to the four sides were given full land and houses, and three generations of lifelong tax exemption were given preferential treatment, and the trend of reclamation of the border of the Tang Dynasty rose again.
