Looking at the scene in front of him, Yun Ye remembered the scene when the Eight Banners cavalry charged the Eight-Nation Alliance in the future, the same people turned on their backs, the same steadfastness and unyielding, and the same desire for victory.

Of course, the result was just as miserable, when the corpses were spread all over the open space, the Tubo people's decision was very simple, they rushed into the desert without thinking about it, and when they retreated, they decisively killed those injured companions, and when Yun Ye's cavalry began to charge, there was not a single living person on the ground.

Standing at the mountain pass, looking at the Tubo people who had sunk into the desert, and then looking at the corpses on the ground, an extremely unreal feeling filled Yun Ye's whole body, so victory?

"Dashuai, the Tubo people left more than 2,450 corpses, and there were 3,000 people who fled, our eight-bull crossbow did not achieve the expected effect, these Tubo people walked too resolutely, without the slightest act of war."

"How to count the numbers are not clear, what is the remainder? Don't you have an exact number? Yun Ye looked at Fan Hongyi in front of him angrily, and his anger couldn't stop surging upward.

As Fan Hong checked the battlefield, he found that there was really no way to count clearly, there were a lot of extra arms, legs, internal organs and human heads, and the wide shovel-shaped crossbow of the Eight Bull Crossbow became the best weapon for splitting corpses.

"Send ten teams, more elite, into the desert to explore the movements of the Tibetans, I want to see where they will go, and set off in three days!"

scolded the wrong Fan Hongyi, Yun Ye did not apologize, and there is no need to apologize, there is no set of rules in the army, there is no need to feel guilty for killing the wrong person, and the majesty of the commander must be maintained.

Three thousand cavalry were sent to guard the Dina Pass, and the hills on both sides were covered with eight bull crossbows, and the high mountain walls were high. There are also scouts who patrol day and night, and Yun Ye doesn't want to make the mistakes of the Tubo people again.

The rest of the army is stationed in Shanshan City, Yun Ye has no intention of pursuing the city lord, there is no need, kill him, and after he leaves, there will be other people who will come out to compete for the position of the city lord.

"You've cooked good mutton soup. It's that the mutton in the desert smells a little stronger, remember to cover it with spices, I didn't expect you to be a parent for a few years, and the cocoon is not bad, I can accompany you to work hard in the desert is a good woman, I changed her background, and no one said that she was a fan girl when she returned to Chang'an, otherwise you should be unstable as an official. It is a legal principle that officials cannot marry a bearded woman as a wife. The supervision is very strict. ”

Qu Zhuo sat opposite Yun Ye, listening to Yun Ye talk about these taboos in officialdom, he had to prick up his ears and listen, although he had been an official for many years, he had never been mixed in officialdom, Yun Ye would not let his own group of people be troubled by others.

"If you want to be a magistrate, you will go to Yuezhou, and you will not be bullied if you work under Guan Tinglong. If you want to be a Beijing official, you will go to the military department, although I am no longer in charge of the military department. But the people I stuffed in must not be tormented by others.

This is all what you deserve, three years of Nanzhao, five years of desert, it is not too much to be promoted to three levels in a row, and the excerpt that gave you credit has already gone. Now I need you and Di Renjie to sort out these documents you have collected, keep one copy of the Beiting Protectorate, and the other one needs you to bring back to Shangshu Province for archival retention, these things are the basis for us to rule the Beiting. “

Yun Ye frowned and finished drinking the mutton soup. Throw the bowl aside and continue: "Di Renjie will go back in the autumn, when the time comes, you will go back with you, take three camels for yourself from the goods left by the Tubo people, pick carefully, Chang'an rice is expensive, it is not easy to live, the right should compensate for your hard work in the desert, return to Chang'an, the household department will also reissue you in the past few years, although it is not much, but it is where the law of the dynasty is, you must not shirk, go, this will take the three boxes with the baggage back to Loulan." ”

Qu Zhuo didn't say a word, just listened, and saw that Yun Ye was about to drive himself away, so he hurriedly said: "Master Hou, it's better to let the students help you here, there is no one who is more familiar with the Western Regions than the students, as long as Xiaojie takes away the cocoon mother and son when he leaves, in this way, the students can serve the Hou Ye without any worries." ”

Yun Ye looked at Qu Zhuo with a smile and said, "I heard that you shouted something before the army entered the city, who would dare to fight me?" You can't resist the hard work of the march, what else do you say about the first battle, are you bent on death? ”

"Who can live and beg for death, the students just think that if we Datang people live like dogs, it is better to die cleanly, so they are ready to kill one with a knife, and kill two to earn one.

You agree to the student's request, the student from a humble background wants to go up the only way to endure hardship, the student plans to endure hardship in the North Court for a few more years, so that the child can earn a cute supplement, so that even if it is worth dying. “

"Since you have this thought, then keep it, and stay in front of the account as a member of the army, as for whether there is any credit to earn at that time, God knows, this time we have a long way ahead, and we can't see it clearly."

Yun Ye walked out of Qu Zhuo's house with his hands behind his back, and the sky began to turn blue again, and the day was about to end.

For the first time, the people of Shanshan City found that the city was full of soldiers but it was very stable, no one came to drag the woman out of the house, and no one came to take away your poor grain, and the merchants who did business were surprised to find that these soldiers actually gave money to buy things, and they were all fine Tang copper coins or silver coins.

Looking at the soldiers who were wandering around, he gritted his teeth and put out all the hidden goods, the rich Tang soldiers liked the plates of different styles, whether it was a copper plate or a silver plate, they liked it very much, some generals would even take out gold and let the goldsmith make the best gold for themselves, the golden sheep with parrot beaks and antlers was the favorite of these people, and some chic jewelry was also loved by the Tang people.

All the merchants who dared to open the door made a lot of money in this crowd, and those who did not have the courage to open the door regretted beating their chests, and some young women, dressed in bright clothes, danced for those Tang people in the tavern, and the rewards received in one night were also very considerable, and the women were a little annoyed, and they had successfully aroused the lust of the young soldiers, but they were reprimanded by some older sergeants, and they left obediently, and they could not make money, which was the only regret.

The sergeants who went into the desert to explore came back, and those Tubo people went to the country of Yuli, which is killing themselves? Yun Ye felt extremely strange, it was impossible for them to live for a month and a half in the desert with a small amount of water.

"Dashuai!" One of the white-bearded veterans arched his hand and said, "The subordinates thought that they were going to drink horse blood, maybe even at the last minute, ......."

Yun Ye saw that the veteran was about to speak and stopped, so he smiled and said, "You mean that they are going to drink human blood and eat human flesh?" This generation does not grow a single inch of grass, not a drop of water can be found, and it is very difficult to eat human flesh raw, besides, if people do not drink water for a long time, the blood is sticky, and I am afraid it will not taste good. ”

The veteran couldn't help but feel a little stupid when he heard Yun Ye's words, how could the big marshal know so much, could it be that the big marshal had also eaten human flesh? Seeing Yun Ye licking his lips, he couldn't help but be terrified.

The Tubo people have gone far enough, it is impossible to turn back, the goal has been achieved, Yun Ye ordered the whole army to move to Loulan City, where the army needs to receive a large number of camels, with it, they can walk sideways in the Western Regions, and when they come back from Tingzhou, they can lead the army to Broken Leaf City to supervise the westward advance of the Hu people.

Thinking about his subordinates, and then thinking about the battle of Talas in his memory, Yun Ye was full of worries, Datang's armed forces had reached the peak of cold weapons at that time, and they were not bad compared to their current subordinates, Mo knives, spears, horizontal knives, crossbow arrows, bed crossbows, especially the terrifying twelve-dan bed crossbow, which was definitely not comparable to the eight-bull crossbow that Yun Ye was using now, and the eight-bull crossbow was only superior to the two advantages of lightness and fast rate of fire.

Speaking of cavalry, the cavalry of the Tang Army was different from the previous Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the extensive use of mature horse shoes made the cavalry develop from light cavalry to heavy cavalry in the Qin and Han dynasties, that is, men and horses were protected by heavy armor and launched impact battles on the battlefield.

Many generals prefer light cavalry because their opponents are nomadic light cavalry and mainly attack long distances, such as Li Jing and Hou Junji, who like to use their changeable tactics to drag down the enemy and win the final battle.

Yun Ye is different, he thinks that he is not a general, so on the premise of protecting himself, he highly respects the role of heavy cavalry in charging and breaking the formation, he has a killing weapon like gunpowder, and it is the most cost-effective to fight positional warfare, and the overwhelming gunpowder crossbow arrows can not only kill the enemy but also kill their self-confidence, and his battlefield can divide the victory and defeat in a short time, so it is very necessary to maintain a strong heavy cavalry to break through the enemy's last line of defense.

Datang has good horses, as well as inexhaustible steel, so it is natural to give full play to the usefulness of these two things, at this time, what supports Yun Ye's belief in victory is firearms, especially the black powder grenade developed by Qingque, although it is larger and thrown not very far, but it can still be used as artillery on a trebuchet.

He has now finally figured out why the Tang army only has more than 30,000 people in the Battle of Talas, because that is the limit of the Tang army's logistics supply, and if his more than 30,000 people enter the North Garden, the imperial court must recall Su Dingfang's 26,000 people, 60,000 troops, and the exhausted army cannot complete the supply.

Looking around, it was full of enemies, and Qu Zhuo mentioned more than once in the intelligence that the people of the Western Regions could not be trusted, the people of Tubo could not be trusted, and the untrustworthiness of those tribes who went west filled the entire page.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu is not a regular army here, and there is no need for a regular army here, Lao Tzu would rather be a robber with better discipline, anyway, there is nothing to cherish, and completely destroy the Western Regions, so that no one cares about this land. (To be continued......)
