Chapter 1372: Into Samarkand

Prince Salamatan has woken up, and he finally woke up on the road, but because the conditions are not up to standard, he has suffered enough along the way, and he didn't expect to arrive in Samarkand City soon, and he can rest well, and this kind of thing happened in front of him for a while.

If it was just a bunch of chaotic people in normal times, it didn't matter if it was 10,000 or 20,000, the 3,000 people under his command were fine, and they could kill these guys like chopping melons and vegetables, but after a long journey, everyone was about to lose their weapons, and now they had to face the attacks of these people, how could they withstand it?

The two sides directly started fighting, and Prince Salaman's men did not have any strength at all, so they were the ones who were killed, and now there is definitely no way back in the city, so they can only escort His Royal Highness the prince to retreat to the south.

In a simple encounter, Prince Salamatan lost more than 800 men, but fortunately his men ran fast enough, and they also had horses and camels, otherwise they would have died here.

Prince Salamatan looked at the city not far away, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation, but he fainted again, and he had collected so many gold and silver treasures, all of which were in this city, and now he could not go back.

What about this guy Faisal, why didn't you see him just now?

His Royal Highness originally thought that the governor of Faisal had rebelled, but he only saw some locals just now, so Prince Salamatan thought that that guy was very likely to be killed, if so, then this time the guilt may be even deeper, not only defeated the war, but also let a governor of the empire was also killed by the locals, and after returning to the capital of Arabia, he may not even be free in the future.

As the son of the caliphate, he may still be able to live, but if you are allowed to live freely, then who will atone for the sins of these hundreds of thousands? This is arguably the heaviest loss of the Arab Empire in the process of expansion.

However, there is also an advantage to going south from here, that is, there are Arab cities all along the way, and they can also provide the necessary supplies to this prince, but the capital of Arabia, after hearing the news, I don't know what they think.

After defeating this army, the people of Samarkand City immediately rode camels to the east, they were just to find the Tang army, tell them the current situation in Samarkand City, let the Tang army hurry over, and the Arab army stationed in the province killed the horse pistol, just now they almost killed the prince, there is no way back.

Now the westernmost part of the Tang army is Feng Chucai, and when he met these people, he couldn't believe his ears, this is really a face.

We have just killed the army of your Arab Empire, but we didn't expect a rebellion in the rear, Governor Faisal with people, I don't know where to go, Samarkand is now ungarrisoned.

Then what else is there to say, General Feng immediately ordered his five thousand troops, and then rushed directly towards the city of Samarkand.

At the same time, he immediately asked people to convey the news to the general in the rear, and asked him to send people to support him, the territory of the Anton Governor's Mansion is very large, and they don't know what the situation is around, although these people say that the army has been brought to the battlefield, but can they believe what they say?

After learning the news, Cheng Chuliang also immediately made preparations, although there are still a large number of prisoners who have not been disposed of, but this opportunity is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this guy immediately ordered Li Chengyi to take 10,000 cavalry and advance towards Samarkand City as quickly as possible, we must stabilize the situation, do not expand to the surrounding area for the time being, and wait for our support army to arrive.

Now the results of the victory are really great, we have only dealt with the Arab army, but we do not have the strength to eat their entire Andong region, but we also have to occupy their main city first, as for the surrounding area will not be able to run in the future.

On the one hand, Cheng Chuliang sent people to consolidate the surroundings, and on the other hand, he also sent an army of about 20,000 people from the Western Regions to help manage these captives and vacate our people.

The second is to go to Chang'an City to report, now such a big victory, it should also make the people in Chang'an City happy for a while, since the army left Chang'an, up and down are sweating for them, and now it is finally bitter.

The people who went to Chang'an City to report the victory one after another, and all kinds of post stations along the way ran rapidly, and finally the news was delivered to Chang'an City within thirteen days.

More than 100,000 captives, more than 2 million square kilometers of land......

Although the people of Chang'an City still don't know the square kilometer as an area unit, they can understand a comparison, that is, the area of more than a dozen provinces is so large.

Although they are all barren land, according to His Highness, our territory has been expanded to the west so much, which means that the common people in the country have more opportunities, every time we occupy a new place, as long as you have the courage and brains, then you can change your own destiny, and you can change it very well.

The court was also very happy, but there was only one person who was not very happy, and that was Li Xiang.

Although this guy is not a warmonger, he also wants to be majestic on the battlefield, but he didn't expect to be missing him this time, but the people on the front line still won, which means that he doesn't need to fight everywhere in the future, he only needs to formulate policies in Chang'an City, and there are people below who will fight for him.

Of course, he won't show this emotion An empire can't rely on one person alone, now that there are talents who stand alone, Li Xiang can also take a good rest, and when he becomes the prince and the emperor in the future, will he still have to drive the royal expedition at every turn? There are no such princes and emperors in the world.

For such a result, the Tang Dynasty celebrated from top to bottom, and learned that a group of prisoners were going to be transported back, about 100,000 people, and the entire Chang'an City was boiling, which was a big victory in recent years.

The whole court was preparing for the celebration, but the generals of the Western Regions were not idle, they knew that it was impossible for the court to increase troops in a short time, but they could not give up.

Xiao Shougui and Cheng Chuliang had a head-to-head, and they had to recruit the forces of the countries in the Western Regions on a large scale and rely on them to occupy new lands......
