Frontal charge, the power of the heavy cavalry is undoubted, unless it is an army formation composed of heavy infantry, and the Qarluq people do not have the strength to form a heavy infantry army, under the leadership of Shen Long, the Tang army easily penetrated the Chinese army of Ge Lulu, divided it into two halves, and then the army circled around the periphery to attack and cut again.

Again and again, the Qarluqs' military formation had been cut into shape, the chain of command was completely torn apart, and there was no way to organize an effective attack, and they were divided and surrounded by the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs, and their servant armies.

Under such circumstances, the tide of battle turned into a one-sided killing, the Qarluqs continued to fall from their horses, and one general after another fell, and they had cut off the idea of winning and wanted to escape from this hell as soon as possible.

Some people turned around and fled backwards, and then they were quickly overtaken, and the Tang coalition cut off his head from behind; Some people tried to jump into the Yili water, but either they forgot to take off their armor when they entered the water, and they were soon carried into the bottom by the weight of the armor and drowned, or they were killed by the arrows of the Tang soldiers, and some even forgot that they couldn't swim at all, and were carried into the Yili water by a large group of people, and were soon washed downstream by the current.

At sunset, the battle finally came to an end, the remaining Qaluq people on the battlefield gave up resistance, they were surrounded by the Tang Dynasty Legion, there was no possibility of escape, they could only get off the horse, put down the weapons in their hands, knelt on the ground and asked the generals of the Tang Dynasty to surrender, Shen Long accepted their surrender.

According to statistics after the war, the Tang coalition army killed a total of tens of thousands of elite Qarluqs, plus the number of people who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Qarluqs lost half of their soldiers and horses in this battle alone, and this battle is equivalent to breaking the backbone of the Qarluqs.

The fertile Ili Valley fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and due to the lack of manpower, the Tang Dynasty could not occupy this land, so he assigned it to several servant armies that performed the most valiant in this battle, and they restrained each other, and no one could easily control the land, so as to develop and grow.

If you want to live better here, you must hug Datang's thighs, and Datang will indirectly control this place as an arbiter, if anyone disobeys Datang's will, there is no need for Datang to send troops, just a little bit of meaning, and there will be tribes who covet this land to solve them.

The Uighurs also made a great profit, and most of the wealth accumulated by the Qarluqs over the years went to them, and Gu Lulu and others were overjoyed, believing that with this great victory, their position in the Uighur king's tent would be greatly increased, and the princess Xian'an, who had planned the battle, would also be one of the victors.

For the Uighurs, the Khan who could lead them to victory in the war and bring a lot of booty was worth following, and now that Princess Xian'an has allowed them to defeat the Qarluqs, and gained a lot of wealth and a lot of fertile pastures, then the next time Princess Xian'an has any orders, the tribes will definitely respond enthusiastically.

Gu Lulu and the others were originally complacent, but when they thought of the strength of the Tang army, they couldn't help but start to rejoice, fortunately, this army has always been friendly with the Uighurs, otherwise when this army began to attack the Uighurs, they would definitely not be able to stop the offensive of the Tang army, and they would definitely be easily torn to pieces like these Qarluqs.

Originally, many of them were dissatisfied with Princess Xian'an's assumption of Uighur power, after all, there were few female masters in power on the steppe, and Princess Xian'an's practices did not conform to Uighur traditions. But now, they are increasingly supporting Princess Xian'an to keep control of the Uighur king's tent.

Because Princess Xian'an can not only bring them rich booty, but more importantly, she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, as long as she continues to be in power, the army of the Tang Dynasty will not come back to the other side of the Uighurs, there is really nothing more happy than standing on the united front with such a powerful Tang army.

"Jingluo, where are we going to fight next?" After a rest, Gu Lulu and others couldn't wait to come to ask for battle, this battle made them make a fortune, but who would be too little to make a fortune?

"Go south, go and pick up King Guojun!" Under the leadership of Shen Long, the army marched south and came to the shore of Atami, and to the west of Atami was the famous Broken Leaf City.

Earlier, the four towns of Anxi were not Khotan, Shule, Qiuci and Yanqi, but Qiuci, Khotan, Shule, and Broken Leaves, from Yanqi located between Qiuci and Xizhou, to Broken Leaves thousands of miles away in the west, which shows that the radiation range of the Tang Dynasty was far away at that time, and now there is an opportunity to take the Broken Leaf City and recreate the glory of the Tang Dynasty, presumably Guo Xin must be very happy, right?

Guo Xin was of course happy, and after taking Shule City and heading north through the Tianshan Pass into the Pearl River Valley, he joined up with the friendly army led by Prince Bahanna.

After the two sides joined forces, they quickly went north to besiege Broken Leaf City, and because the main force of the Qarluq people was attracted by Shen Long to the edge of Yili Water to fight a decisive battle with the Tang Coalition Army, the defense in Broken Leaf City was empty, and it was quickly taken by Guo Xin.

This was built in the reign of the Tang Dynasty, and the farthest town west of Chang'an finally returned to the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and after the Qarlu army was heavily damaged, and the Ili River Valley and Broken Leaf City were captured, the western expedition had achieved its combat purpose.

Although there were still many Qarluq tribes in the vast land between Broken Leaf Water and Eli Water, it was too much trouble to completely eliminate them; And after completely exterminating them, Datang will directly face the threat of the black-clothed Great Food, so Shen Long and Guo Xin both decided to stop the attack for the time being, and let those Qarlu people become a buffer zone between the Great Tang and the black-clothed Great Food.

Guo Xin planned to leave a small number of Tang troops with servant troops to garrison Broken Leaf City, plus Bahanna and those small tribes attached to the Tang Dynasty, it should not be a problem to maintain the suppression of the Qarluqs.

"Now there are no forces in the west and north of the Metropolitan Protectorate that can threaten my Datang!" Guo Xin said that the only people who could threaten this direction were the Shatuo Turks and the Qarluqs, but now that the Shatuo Turks have surrendered and the Qarluqs have just suffered a crushing defeat, both threats have been eliminated.

As for the desert to the south, there is only one direction for the Tang Dynasty to attack, Shen Long and Guo Xin stood at the head of the city and looked at the release of Chang'an at the same time, "It has been too long since the land of Hexi and Longyou fell to the hands of Tubo, and now that the threat from other directions has been completely eliminated, then it is time to lead the army to look back to the east!" ”
