When the Flying Fish Lady ship arrived in the Zhangye River valley south of Ganzhou, Zhang Yichao and his backbone generals who came with the boat couldn't help but stick their heads out of the window to watch the situation on the battlefield.

But they were startled by what they saw. The banks of the Zhangye River were littered with corpses, and the vast grasslands and river valleys were covered with dense corpses, as if a fierce battle had just taken place.

"Lord Lieutenant, didn't you say that the battle would not start until the heavenly ship arrived?" Zhang Yichao said in shock.

"yes, this ...... We're late. Lei Changye said with a wry smile.

He had been engrossed in manipulating two camel carts to fight Xihu, and had not told anyone else about the real-time battle of the Zhangye River.

"Oh no, without the assistance of the heavenly ship and the army, relying only on the camel cart army, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky. "Zhang Yichao has been lurking in Shazhou for many years, and he is very aware of the strength of Xihu Wuru and Sixty-one Dai.

The generals of the Hongbi and Guiyi armies behind him were also talking and worried.

"It's okay, it should be won. Lei Changye steered the Flying Fish Lady boat to slowly land on the Zhangye River and lowered the gentle slope bridge. Zhang Yichao and Master Hong Wei immediately rushed down from the bridge with a group of Guiyi army generals, trying to take a look at the dead and wounded on the ground. Looking from the high place on the boat of the Flying Fish Lady, the corpses on the ground were covered with river mud and ashes, so it was not clear which side of the people and horses it was.

They picked up the corpses one by one, anxiously watching, to their shock, the corpses lying all over the ground were all dressed by the soldiers of the Xihu tribe, obviously the Tang soldiers not only won this big battle, but also had cleaned up the battlefield with their hands and feet, and all the dead and wounded Tang soldiers had been properly collected and buried.

"Won! Won!" Zhang Yichao and Master Hong Wei straightened up, looked at each other, and said with great relief.

"......" Lei Changye was a little embarrassed to tell them that he had forgotten to tell them that the camel cart army had started a war with the Xihu army, and at this time he had to pretend that he had just known the victory.

Since he saw that Xuanjin led the camel cart army to defeat the Chinese army of Xihu, he stopped looking inward, and concentrated on opening the boat to respond, hoping to let Zhang Yichao and others see the power of the camel army on the prairie, and at the same time see if they could at least intercept the Xihu army and barely make up a result of encirclement and annihilation.

I have to say that the ferocity of the Buddhist soldiers of Wanzang Temple did surprise him a little, and the courage of Zampu Laowang's military adventure also exceeded his expectations, which directly led to the premature war between the camel cart army and the Xihu army. According to the number of 300 camel carts in the camel cart army, it is difficult to fight a war of annihilation. The scattered deserters, Lei Changye must find a way to solve it.

At this moment, a camel cart drove quickly from afar, stopped abruptly in front of Lei Changye, and Wang Mang appeared inside: "Alliance leader, Xuan Shuai asked me to come to you to deal with the problem of prisoners." ”

"Oh, have you caught a lot?" Lei Changye perked up.

"It's too many, I haven't counted it yet. Wang Mang was extremely excited.

"Let's go, General Zhang? This prisoner of war Hu soldier also needs you to clean up? Let's see how many exactly. Lei Changye rubbed his hands and said.

"Good...... Okay!" Zhang Yichao and Hong Wei looked at the camel cart driven by Wang Mang with their mouths stammered, and subconsciously counted the legs of the camel cart? My heart was shocked. Lei Changye's command is in addition to the heavenly ship? This ink machine is also quite eye-catching.

Wang Mang opened the car door and let Zhang Yichao, Hong Wei and others into the car? Lei Changye also sat in the co-pilot. The group marched bumping on the camel cart, and after a while, they came to the main camp of the camel cart army.

Hundreds of camel carts here form a loose ring? Encircled a huge clearing? Inside, with their heads in their hands, squatted hundreds of thousands of Xihu soldiers. They were unarmed, their armor had been removed, and they piled up in large piles around the clearing. More than a dozen soldiers in the camel cart army who could talk nonsense kept shouting loudly and loudly? It seems to convey Xuanjin's admonition to them.

Lei Changye saw such a spectacular scene of captives in front of him? I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat: "So many?"

Zhang Yichao and Hong Wei rushed to lift the roof of the camel cart and came out, looking at the Xihu captives in Wuyang and Wuyang in front of them. They have been fighting in Shazhou City for a long time, and with a little visual inspection, they can probably know the number, but they do the math? Can't believe your eyes!

Lei Changye jumped down from the camel cart and ran a few steps to the side of Bai Yinyi, who was shouting: "Where is Xuan Shuai?"

"Lieutenant Lord!" these shouting silver Yicong immediately bowed down? And turned around and pointed, "Xuan Shuai is counting the loot." ”

Lei Changye immediately followed the direction of their fingers? Towards a vast herd of horses. There, Xuan Jin was counting the number of war horses with a group of disciples of the Craftsman Division who were proficient in numbers.

"Jin'er!" Lei Changye raised his voice.

"Brother Lei? We've won a big battle!" Xuan Jin immediately exclaimed excitedly when he saw him.

"Captured geometry?" Lei Changye hurriedly asked.

"The left, center, right, and branch wings of the Xihu army? Sun Boyi has his own surrender? That's about 150,000 people in total. Xuan Jin immediately opened his mouth to report the number. It was obviously a number she had just checked, and it was still fresh in her memory.

"150,000 people?" Zhang Yichao and Hong Wei were both extremely shocked. Because the total number of Xihu troops is more than 200,000, and 150,000 people are three-quarters of the number, which is basically a collapse.

"The old king of Zampu was thrown off his horse in the melee, the royal flag was broken, and the master of Chu Ling fled west with the old king on his back, leaving the Xihu army behind. The morale of the Xihu army collapsed, and the whole army surrendered, only the four guards of Zampu were stubborn and stubborn, and they were all killed by our army. When Xuanjin said this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The counterattack of the four guards was indeed very brave. However, after the camel cart army killed and dispersed the 200,000 troops of Xihu, their confidence doubled, and they began a thunderous night-style operation against the four guards of Zampu, and the tactical head shaking became more and more proficient, and they completely regarded these stubborn Hu soldiers as the target for training.

The four guards of Zampu fought hard for a long time, but they didn't kill anything, but they fought their men and horses to the ground.

The Xihu tribes who fled in all directions saw the divine power of the camel cart army, and where did they still have the slightest heart to resist. Running and running is not as fast as the camel cart, and the only option is to surrender with the equipment, pinning all hopes on the mercy of Datang.

This battle of the camel cart army knocked the morale of the Xihu tribes to the bottom, and not only did they not have the courage to fight, but they also lost the courage to fight and flee.

After listening to Xuanjin's narration, Lei Changye couldn't help but sigh: "Oops, we're late, I haven't seen such a spectacular surrender scene." ”

"Poof! Brother Lei, you also want to see this meeting, in fact, hundreds of thousands of men kneel and kowtow, and it's a shame to look at it, so it's okay not to look at it. Xuan Jin said with a smile.

Zhang Yichao and Hong Wei looked sideways at the heroic Xuan Jin, and shook their heads again and again: What a tiger and wolf's words are this.

Lei Changye summed it up and couldn't help but smile: "In this way, relying on the camel cart army alone, we have fought a beautiful battle of annihilation, and the trouble of Xihu can be completely alleviated." ”

"Brother Lei, when you came, did you see the figure of the First Spirit Master carrying Lao Wang on his back? If you can capture Lao Wang, this battle will be considered a complete victory. Xuan Jin said with a little regret.

"Hey, that old ghost has already entered the ghost gate with half a foot, and when he escapes back to the plateau, I still have a plan to exterminate the Xihu Dynasty. Lei Changye's eyes narrowed and said lightly.

"These two are ......" Xuan Jin glanced at Zhang Yichao and Master Hong Bian, and couldn't help but ask.

"Let me introduce you, this is General Zhang Yichao, the hero of the liberation of Shazhou, and this is Master Hong Wei, the professor of Shazhou Shimendu who supports the recovery. Lei Changye hurriedly introduced, "Two, this is the commander of the camel cart army, Xuanjin of the Tang Huainan Festival." ”

"It turned out to be Xuan Jieshuai, fortunately I will be lucky!" Zhang Yichao and Master Hong Wei hurriedly saluted with trepidation. The commander who led the camel cart army to annihilate 200,000 Hu soldiers naturally made them respectful.

"I've seen General Zhang, I've seen Master Hong Bian, the righteous deeds of the two are rumored all over the world, Xuan Jin admires them very much!" Xuan Jin said proudly.

"Jin'er, the war horses and Hu soldiers surrendered in this battle were handed over to General Zhang and Master Hong Wei for rectification, they have rich experience in integrating soldiers of various ethnic groups into an army in Shazhou, and they can just digest and contain these surrendered troops and strengthen the power of the Guiyi army. Lei Changye said with a smile.

"Obey the order!" Xuan Jin smiled and handed the account book in his hand to Zhang Yichao, "General Zhang, this time collect and surrender 150,000 Hu soldiers of all ethnic groups, including 50,000 in the Xihu headquarters, 30,000 in the Achai department, 40,000 in the Yangtong department, 10,000 people in the Wuchi Dai department, 20,000 people in the Subi department, and 190,000 war horses. ”

"Yes, there is a handsome Lao Jie. Zhang Yichao took this account book, only to feel that the weight was heavy, and he could hardly hold it flat in front of him.

"General Zhang, you seem to be worried. Lei Changye asked keenly.

"Lord Lieutenant," Zhang Yichao said with a wry smile, "There are too many prisoners, 150,000 here plus 100,000 people in Liangzhou, even if I plant all the fields in the eleven prefectures of Hexi, I can't afford to digest so many people." ”

"General Zhang doesn't have to worry, I have already conquered the four prefectures of Gansu, Su, Gua and Liang along the road, and the remaining seven prefectures can be determined after the collapse of the Xihu army. All we need to do is plant the land of these eleven cities with the rice seeds I gave you, and by the time of the autumn harvest we will have enough rice to feed millions of people for several years. Lei Changye smiled slightly.

"How can there be such a miraculous rice in this world?" Zhang Yichao said, scratching his head.

"General, there is no such magical heavenly ship in the world. Lei Changye smiled slightly.

"I see...... looking at Lei Changye's confident expression, Zhang Yichao's heart was settled, "Lord Lieutenant, the reason why the Hu clan of all tribes are working hard for Xihu is because the land is thin and they are unable to maintain their livelihood. If the grain and grass are sufficient and the trade routes are unimpeded, I, Zhang Yichao, can completely turn these 250,000 Hu soldiers into the people of Guiyi and become the backbone of my Tang Dynasty to guard the Western Regions. ”

"General rest assured, the Western Regions Trade Route is the biggest reason why my Datang wants to recover the Hexi Corridor. After the war, I will be responsible for rebuilding the Silk Road and spreading my Tang caravan all the way to the end of the Western Heavens. Lei Changye said with great ambition.
