On the opposite bank of the city of Huoxun Kingdom, that is, on the south bank of the Wuhu River, the Tang army has completed its formation here and is ready to fight.

The big cannibals were in battle under the city, refusing to cross the river at all, just waiting for the Tang army to attack.

Before this started to play, the momentum was already three points weaker.

On the south bank of the Wuhu River, Fang Chongyong stood on a small sand dune with a slightly higher terrain, holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe the movements of the big cannibal.

"Pass the order, let Wang rarely take the main force to repair in situ, He Changqi with elite vigilance, and exchange them after an hour."

Fang Chongyong said to Feng Changqing, who was standing beside him.

"Order!"

Feng Changqing took the order and left.

After he left, Che Guangqian asked suspiciously: "Jie Shuai, the morale of our army is booming, why not go all out of it?" ”

When it comes to fighting, each has his own ability. The so-called soldiers are not more than fine, and the generals are not brave but strategic, and the commander is the commander who arranges the troops, not the fierce generals who rush to the front line, and the special forces who fight a large number of people with a few people!

If nothing else, Fang Chongyong just wants to win beautiful points when he has an advantage, and the battle damage is better than the better look.

Some people wanted to cross the river, some wanted to rotate, some wanted to return to the city, and the officers at all levels of the Great Food Army had to come forward to appease the soldiers and leave their original positions.

"Jie Shuai, the big cannibal is restless!"

On the other hand, we are too light on the enemy, and if we are caught off guard, we are likely to suffer losses, and there is no harm in being steady. ”

Che Guangqian suppressed the excitement in her heart and shouted.

At this moment, the psychological superiority between the two armies began to appear!

The Tang army was not worried about the big cannibals crossing the Wuhu River, so they could calmly adjust the formation and let some of the soldiers rest.

After hearing the sound of the reed pipe, the sergeant of the Great Food had already begun to form a team, but the speed was not fast.

Because if you don't resist to the end, you won't even have the slightest hope of life.

Behind them is the city, there is no way to retreat, only to fight against the water, there is no retreat, in order to survive.

At this moment, Feng Changqing ran over out of breath, out of breath and asked Fang Chongyong, "Jie Shuai...... They, General He, they ask for war! ”

Fang Chongyong gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, then stopped speaking, and kept his eyes on the other side of the river.

"Go and tell He Changqi and Wang that whoever dares to go to war rashly will be killed! Steady again! ”

Fang Chongyong handed the "clairvoyant mirror" to Che Guangqian, and after the latter looked at it, he really showed a thoughtful look.

"You take a breath first."

"These people have expectations for our strength, and they have decided to put their lives on the line, and this is when the edge is at its peak.

Slowly, the soldiers of the Great Food Army began to slack off and become restless.

Fang Chongyong believes that he will definitely not be the one who is in a hurry first.

But the Great Food Army didn't dare to directly rush across the ice of the Wuhu River!

They oscillated between field battles and defending the city, and as time went on, they saw that the formation was not as neat as before.

In fact, it is not excluded that the main general of the big cannibal is also observing the battlefield on the opposite side and brewing various tricks.

Fang Chongyong would rather be a little more reluctant than lose his soldiers and horses because of too many waves.

These soldiers of the Great Food Army, their eyes were firm, and although their faces looked nervous, their hands were all clenched in their hands, and they looked like they were going to die together.

Time passed little by little, and because of the rotation of the Tang army on the south bank of the Wuhu River, half of the soldiers could always rest. And under the hurricanes on the other side of the river, the Great Food Army did not dare to relax at all.

Sure enough, when it was almost dark, the sound of reed pipes sounded in the army on the other side of the river, and its timbre was very special, which would only be blown when the whole army charged.

At that time, it was the time for us to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

In fact, he didn't need to say it, everyone on the sand dunes could see it clearly, but Fang Chongyong could see it even more clearly from the clairvoyant mirror.

"Now is not the time to rush, when the sky is about to get dark and see that our army still does not act, the big cannibals will definitely relax their vigilance. Even if the lord forces him to stay, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to stand it and want to go back to the city to defend it. It is inevitable that the morale of the military will fluctuate.

Fang Chongyong instructed Che Guangqian.

Fang Chongyong said to Feng Changqing with a calm face.

After the pursuit of the Tang army, these big cannibals did not have time to prepare for war at all, and after fleeing back to the city of Hurricane, they hurriedly organized resistance.

But because of this, they will fight to the death with the Tang army like trapped beasts in this battle!

Che Guangqian hurriedly ran to give the order, for fear that he would run slowly, He Changqi and the others rushed in excitement.

"Do you think it's time to rush?"

Feng Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it and said.

Fang Chongyong looked at Feng Changqing with a smile and asked.

Big cannibalism is hard right now!

I want to hold on, but now the spirit of blood and courage has slowly dissipated; wanted to go back to the city, but was afraid that the Tang army would rush directly across the river from the ice; I want to rotate, but I'm worried that when I adjust the formation, there will be a gap in the sneak attack.

What's more, for Fang Chongyong, this battle can only be regarded as an appetizer now, and there is still a tough battle behind, but you can't lose too many soldiers and horses because of paralysis and carelessness, and it will be fun to have a miserable victory or something.

"Feng joins the army and can be a general."

Fang Chongyong had only heard of it in the Great Food Army, and he had not even heard of it in many small countries west of the Green Ridge.

"Look at them."

In the previous war, the big cannibals collapsed without a fight because of the "divine fire", so the morale of the Anxi expeditionary force was extremely high, and they all thought that they had divine help.

Fang Chongyong crossed his hands on his hips and looked at the big food army on the other side of the river, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Pass my military order, the military band beats the drums, and raises the commander's flag! Get ready to break the formation! ”

Fang Chongyong instructed Che Guangqian.

"Order!"

Che Guangqian felt that there was hot blood surging up in her frozen body!

Knock knock!

The drums of war are roaring and the blood is boiling!

On the top of the sand dune, a large flag with the word "square" written on it was erected by the flag bearer and waved in the wind.

The whole team of the Great Food Army had not yet been cleared, and they had not even set foot in the Wuhu River, when they saw the Tang Army roaring with a light horse lance!

Its momentum is like thunder, and it is indomitable!

The sword and shield soldiers at the front of the Great Food Army, which were already very loose, were rushed out of a gap in an instant. He Changqi led the elite to continue to break the formation, and the mounted infantry in leather armor behind them were all holding maces after dismounting, like a tiger breaking through the belly of its prey, swift and sophisticated to expand the results.

They followed behind the cavalry, tearing open and pulling the gaps in the formation of the Great Food Army.

Almost in the time of a stick of incense, the morale of the Great Food Army collapsed. It's not that kind of person who is almost killed and outnumbered and wants to flee. Instead, he was shocked by the powerful impact to the point that his will was shaken, and his body naturally turned around and ran because of fear!

It can't be said that the main general of the Great Food Army didn't make an effort, he launched an attack before Fang Chongyong, in fact, he had already seen through the intentions of the Tang Army. It's just that many times, the hard power is there, and the gap in absolute strength is not something that the main general can use to smooth out with the strategy of impromptu formation.

The battle entered garbage time, and He Changqi had already dismounted at this time, and there were big food soldiers running into the hurricane city everywhere. It is rare that the king has already chased after him with his cavalry, and the destruction of the city is just by the way.

Because the cannibals themselves were not the owners of the city, they also lived here, forced the natives to convert to Islam, and imposed heavy taxes on non-believers! It's very unpopular locally.

Its popularity is probably a little stronger than Gao Xianzhi and the Anxi Army under his command.

Fang Chongyong, who was watching the battle on the sand dunes, breathed a sigh of relief, holding a strong army in his hand and killing chickens with a knife, just to have such an effect.

The sky gradually darkened, and the battle on the battlefield slowly came to an end. The Tang Army sent a special "mending knife team", and when they saw a struggling cannibal on the ground, they went up and stabbed them directly.

Chongyong has already said in front of the incident that after this battle, the enemy army will not leave a living mouth, and do not make trouble for yourself.

He said so, and his subordinates naturally acted according to the rules, and there would be no superfluous and useless sympathy.

Half an hour later, He Changqi, who was covered in blood, walked up the hill to Fang Chongyong with a human head in his hand, threw the head at the opponent's feet, clasped his fists and saluted: "The main general of the Great Food Army has been taken by the last general, Jie Shuai, do you remember the merits?" ”

"Give him a credit for the killing."

Fang Chongyong said to Feng Changqing.

"Jieshuai, why isn't it the first merit?"

He Changqi asked rhetorically with a little dissatisfaction.

"You are a pioneer, and you yourself are a general and capture the flag. If this is the first work, then don't you have the first work every time, while going cool, think for yourself! ”

Fang Chongyong waved his hand impatiently, and with a group of guards, he stepped across the ice of the Wuhu River and came to the city gate that was in a hurry to cover the city. I saw that this place was full of corpses of the Great Food Army, many of whom were shot in the back.

Severed arms and stumps, and even inhuman-like corpses that have been dented by maces, abound.

It's terrible!

Rao is Fang Chongyong is used to seeing big scenes, and when he saw this bloody scene, his stomach was also churning, and he wanted to find a place to vomit.

War is so ferocious and so fast-moving. A decision by the commander is likely to determine the outcome of the battle, or even the life and death of thousands of people.

After the battle began, these fresh lives were casualty numbers one by one, and chess pieces that could be commanded remotely.

Only after the battle is over, they will turn back into "people".

Previously, Fang Chongyong had been doubting that as recorded in the history books of his previous life, Geshu Hantongguan lost 200,000 soldiers and horses in the first battle.

How did this guy waste 200,000 soldiers and horses in a war?

Even if there are 200,000 pigs, it will take a few days to kill, right?

However, in today's battle, Fang Chongyong has completely understood. The moment the morale of the army collapsed, it was the sun and the moon hanging upside down, and the mountains and seas were shattered!

Its general trend is like a flood, and no one can stop it. Not to mention 200,000, even if the number of people doubles again, it will be the same when it collapses!

In this era, no law or morality is as good as a knife in one's hand.

Because the battle is so dangerous, the winner can take it all and share the spoils of their life.

"Let the king of Huoxun Country, as well as a group of princes and ministers, come to Kangguo to build a city to see this commander.

For the rest, if you look at it, I won't go into the city. ”

Fang Chongyong instructed Feng Changqing.

"Order!"

Feng Changqing clasped his fists and saluted and said, as if he still had something to say, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

"It's just a difference between intimacy and intimacy, so there's no need to say much."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand, turned around and left. The piles of corpses in front of the door disgusted him so much that he didn't want to see the king of the Fire Quest Kingdom at all.

What kind of virtue are these small countries in the Western Regions, Fang Chongyong has completely understood, he naturally has a way to clean up the situation, and he is too lazy to listen to the noise of those boring people.

……

In December of the ninth year of Tianbao, the Anxi Expeditionary Force broke the remnants of the Great Food Army in the country of Huoxun, and the battle was decided to behead the enemy's main general Mansur.

Then the army returned to the capital of Kangguo, and the king of Kangguo offered a large number of horses, cattle, sheep, camels and other livestock. and almost all the grain in the treasury to reward the Tang army that had returned victoriously.

Fang Chongyong was in the limelight for a while, and was called "the lion of the Western Regions" by the people of the countries west of the Green Mountains.

In January of the tenth year of Tianbao, Fang Chongyong, as the ambassador of the Western Regions, took Shiguo as the center to establish the "Hezhong Protectorate" and govern Zhezhi City.

He himself is also the protector of the capital.

At the same time, the first fire in the establishment of the Yamen of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Hezhong was the promulgation of the "Slave Ban Decree" that shook the countries west of the Green Mountains.

Fang Chongyong ordered the abolition of the slavery status of all slaves in the prefecture west of the Green Ridge and under the rule of the Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate. According to the principle of voluntariness, they were included in the special "tribal" household registration and made a register in Zhezhi City.

At the same time, relevant decrees were also issued to inform the prefectures. As long as they are slaves, as long as they are recorded in the register of the Protectorate of the River, they will be Juntian and participate in the military camp according to the principle of first come, first served.

And those who are not willing to participate in the Juntian can engage in all kinds of industries in the cities without restrictions.

After a series of combinations, slaves from various countries fled from the homes of local magnates and came to Zhezhi City to apply for household registration. And those big families were afraid of the Tang Army's courage and good fighting, so they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to let the slaves leave.

Under Fang Chongyong's instructions, Feng Changqing collected all the orders, and even organized them as militia for basic military training. At the same time, slave traders were combated and they were not allowed to operate in various countries.

For a time, the authority and prestige of the Anxi Expeditionary Force soared. Except for the local big landlords and big merchants, the others no longer guarded against Fang Chongyong like thieves.

At the same time of "giving grace", Fang Chongyong also asked the "Cheka" led by Che Guangqian to go around to inquire about the news and crack down on local lawbreakers!

They were not allowed to fight slaves, and they were not allowed to capture runaway slaves. In order to set a model, Fang Chongyong did not hesitate to create several tragic cases.

Don't ask if Tang Jun did it, ask if there are many bandits in the Western Regions, and no one wants to see this kind of thing.

Fang Chongyong's principle is that whoever takes the lead will be involved! To ensure the effective advancement of the abolitionist law!

Through the protection of the army and the abolition of slavery, Fang Chongyong forcibly turned the original "slave" class of the small countries in the Western Regions into hardcore supporters who relied on the protection of the Tang army.

Unlike the previous Tang Dynasty, which liked to take the high-level route in the Western Regions, Fang Chongyong went the opposite way and took the grassroots route.

By gaining the support of emancipating slaves, and by not infringing on the interests of ordinary people, they can gain the understanding of ordinary people, and use them to balance the big nobles and big merchants who have not had many good reputations.

The ban on slavery was used to open the way, weakening the strength of the local large households, so that they and the freed slaves who had become "militia soldiers" became irreconcilable contradictions, and checked and balanced each other.

However, Fang Chongyong and Tang Jun only "mediated" (pulled the shelf) in it, breaking the personal dependence between the large households and the slaves, and making them a pure employment relationship, or a military tun household.

At the same time, the local nobles who did not commit crimes were no longer purged for no reason to establish rules.

As a result, the countries west of the Green Mountains lost their previous "stability and peace", but the support of the Tang Army was more extensive.

The Tang Dynasty did not abolish slavery, Fang Chongyong actually abolished slavery in the small country in the Western Regions west of the Green Mountains, it can only be said that in order to control the local situation, this ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy can no longer take care of so much!

However, just as the Anxi Expeditionary Force was preparing to march, cross the Wuhu River, cross the Great Desert, and go to Mulu City deep in the desert to crusade against the lair of the Great Cannibal.

The envoy sent by the imperial court has arrived!

A civil official that Fang Chongyong didn't know, a eunuch he didn't know either, and a military general who still didn't know.

The "Chang'an Condolence Group" composed of three people and their entourage came to Zhezhi City.

And the one who comes is not good!
