While Li Xiang was enjoying life, General Molun's army had already entered the Green Ridge area.

General Mo Lun led 28,000 Gaochang soldiers and 2,000 Tang artillery troops to kill them violently, and destroyed two small countries along the way.

These two small countries are not going to participate in the Metropolitan Protector Conference, since you have already expressed your attitude, then there is nothing to say, my Tang Dynasty Imperial Court is definitely not in vain, you all dare to rebel so blatantly, if you are not destroyed, there will be no prestige in the Western Regions in the future.

"What's up ahead?"

General Mo Lun has already put on the armor of the Tang Dynasty, including his subordinates, all of whom are armed according to everything in the Tang Dynasty.

"Report to the general, there is Kulan City in front."

In addition to the army brought from Gaochang, the countries of the Western Regions also sent more than 10,000 servant troops, and the main task of their army is not to fight, but to listen to the surrounding situation clearly, after all, there are more than 1,000 kilometers from Gaochang to here.

"Get ready for battle, please Datang Artillery."

General Mo Lun gave an order, there is nothing to say now, as long as the cities that pass by along the way, as long as they do not go to the meeting of the alliance, then they are all tantamount to betraying the Tang Dynasty, let's just take it directly.

This is also an order issued by General Cheng Chumo, and now General Cheng Chumo is the highest military commander in the Western Regions, since people have already said so, let's just do it honestly.

And it was very easy to fight along the way, as long as the Datang artillery team went up to bombard for a while, the combat effectiveness over there could drop by more than half, and even many soldiers surrendered directly, let's just pick up a ready-made cheap.

So when he encountered such a city, General Morun even saved the persuasion to surrender, so why delay that time? In the end, there were still many conditions that could not be negotiated, so I just settled it directly, anyway, it was a matter of two or three hours, and I happened to rest in this city tonight.

The leading general of the Datang artillery team is Li Chengyi.

This person is also a member of the Li royal family, but it is a relatively remote kind, and he is an old ancestor with Li Shimin, but he is already three thousand miles old, so he does not have any titles, but because he is involved with the Li royal family, if he wants to earn a future in the army, he is still much stronger than ordinary people, after all, he has the same ancestor.

If it weren't for him leading the team, General Morun would be the commander of this expedition to the west, how could he still use a word of invitation?

"The whole army is ready."

After receiving the order, dozens of observers rushed out on horseback, they wanted to find a good artillery position for our artillery team, and when our artillery was erected, they would follow the orders of General Morun at any time.

"The general seems to have someone coming out......"

One of General Molun's men was sharp-eyed, and when he was less than ten miles away from the city, someone had already come out in the distance, and it was obvious that only a dozen people had come out instead of fighting.

They have also encountered such things along the way, and when they heard that the Tang Heavenly Army was coming, there were many people who did not dare to resist, but because of what they had done before, they didn't want to fall into the hands of the Tang Army, so they fled directly.

The remaining people in the city were also unwilling to sit still, so when the Tang army came, they immediately found some famous people to surrender on behalf of the entire city, which also saved trouble.

"It seems that this battle is saved again, but let the people below give me a good warning, don't make fun."

General Morun is a veteran on the battlefield, he won't trust anyone until he sees your armed men lay down their arms, and he will run out a few people to surrender, and when you pass, will you start fighting immediately?

Sure enough, they came out to surrender, it turned out that they had already heard about it, and the things along the way, where the Tang army passed, did not listen to the explanations of you people at all, no matter what you did before, and no matter what reason you did, as long as the convening order of the Protectorate was not obeyed, then General Morun would destroy you, so the administrator of this city ran away yesterday.

"How many troops are there in the city?"

General Morun looked at the old man in front of him proudly, this person should be a famous person in the city, otherwise he would not be able to be elected as a representative, after the original leader ran away, each city would find some famous people to come out.

"Back to the general's words, there are still more than 2,000 soldiers, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, otherwise they would have been taken away yesterday, because they did not get the general's order, so they did not dare to rush out, the city is waiting near the city gate at the moment, and it is all up to the general."

The old man was also trembling, but if he didn't come, it was estimated that the Datang artillery team would open fire, and if it started, the whole city would be ruined.

"Then you go back and tell them to line up outside the south gate in the city, the rest of the people are staying at home, and they can't come out until they get an order, we will register the population of the entire city, and only after the registration is completed can we restore normal order in the city."

Calling from the east, they don't know how many cities have been solved along the way, and they have already formed a habit, so they don't need to say more from others, they all follow this procedure.

"The old decay will go to ...... right away"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, they are all ordinary, and the common people do not understand some things about politics, although their original king betrayed the Tang Dynasty, but the common people in the city have no other ideas.

Of course, what is the situation, we can't draw conclusions now, we have to wait for us to investigate after entering the city, and when we see the army in the city come out, the Datang artillery team will not be deployed.

The countries of the Western Regions are like a plate of scattered sand, although some people are dissatisfied with Datang in their hearts, but no matter how dissatisfied, they still dare not raise the banner of resistance, and they are afraid that they will be destroyed directly by Datang.

Now although the Arab Empire has come to take the lead, its influence on the Western Regions is not great, and General Morun also understands what Li Xiang meant, the reason why he is allowed to lead his troops westward so quickly is to kill all signs in this situation, and not to let the ideas of the Arab Empire invade in, which is a difficult thing for the Tang Dynasty army at that time.

"Into the city."

As soon as General Morun gave the order, five hundred selected cavalry rushed directly forward, and they would first reconnoiter the entire city.
