My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 293 The Battle of Western Turks
On the vast Altun Grassland, there are shouts of killing everywhere.

All kinds of weapons intertwined, making a tooth-piercing collision sound.

The battle flag was stained red with blood, and the already exhausted Western Turkic army could hardly pose a threat to the Tang army.

Even from time to time, the army exposed the cries that the Western Turks had perished.

Their instigators are naturally Datang's spies.

In fact, those Tang dark guards who ignited this shocking vortex in Tuguhun King City back then did not leave immediately.

Instead, relying on his familiarity with the Western Turkic language, he mixed into the Western Turkic army and participated in the war against Tuyuhun together.

And because of their excellent skills, they hardly suffered any damage in this war, and all of them were in good condition.

When the pioneers of the Tang Dynasty came, they also acted one after another and retreated to the rear.

Now as soon as the Western Turkic army showed signs of retreating, they immediately sent news.

Of course, before Li Jing received the news, he had already ordered the whole army to attack.

If it is an ordinary war, although these hidden guards can cause some small disturbances, they are of limited use. After all, they are just soldiers of the Western Turks.

Now, however, this is different.

When the Western Turkic army began to retreat and the Tang cavalry shouted to pursue them, they reacted instantly and shouted.

"Western Turks have been defeated, and the grasslands have been completely controlled!"

"We have no way out!"

"Defeated, defeated, we Western Turks have already lost!"

Although these shouts were sporadic, they dealt a fatal blow to the already fragile Western Turkic army!
Sometimes, no matter how terrible the fire outside is, it can't compare to the fright that a little spark on the sleeve can bring to people.

After all, no matter how fierce the fire outside was, it didn't burn on himself.

Datang said that their Western Turks had perished, which is normal, after all, they are enemies.

How can the enemy's words be believed?

But now, among my own army, some people are actually saying that the Western Turks are dead!

Believe it or not, ordinary Western Turkic soldiers couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Could it be that they are really alone?
Could it be that they have already retreated?

Could it be that the country they were relying on has really become history?

"kill!"

Just when they were skeptical, the bravery of the Tang army directly shattered their last trace of fighting spirit.

If it weren't for the fact that they had the chance to win, how could these Datang people dare to charge the Western Turkic army of more than 30 with [-] cavalry?
Could it be that they are all fools?

Panic at the beginning, only one or two people fled, but it didn't take long for the Western Turks to be affected!

For an army of hundreds of thousands, the defeat is only a momentary matter.

An hour later, the Western Turkic army, which was fighting and retreating, finally began a real rout, and it was divided into dozens of small groups and fled in a hurry.

That is to say, the Western Turks do not understand the history of China, otherwise, they would definitely feel that the scene in front of them is very similar to the Battle of Feishui in history!

This decisive battle between the former Qin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was ultimately because Fu Jian was caught in the conspiracy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and ordered the entire army to retreat, waiting for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to cross the river before the decisive battle.

As a result, this withdrawal, amid the cries of the traitors and the Eastern Jin army, turned into a major defeat for the entire army.

The former Qin Dynasty, which originally had a [-]% chance of unifying the land of China, fell apart from then on!

It was not until the birth of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty that the land of China was unified.

Obviously, the western Turkic army made exactly the same mistake as Fu Jian did back then.

When two armies fight, the brave always wins.

If one side retreats, the consequences will be fatal!

Naturally, Li Jing would not let go of this opportunity. Although he couldn't pursue all the defeated Western Turkic troops, he still chose the largest one to continue chasing.

He is not worried about any fish that slip through the net at all, because behind him there is an extremely powerful empire, and there are a million troops trampling on the Alkin grassland!

They will wipe out all the fish that slip through the net!

This is Li Jing's confidence!
In this battle, their Datang will surely win!

The Silk Road will be opened by them!
"My God!"

"How many people were dispatched!"

"How can there be such a large army!"

The other defeated Western Turkic troops who were gradually relieved because they were not pursued.

Before I had time to be happy for a few days, I was frightened by the sudden million Tang army in front of me, and my liver and gallbladder burst!

Looking at the dark crowd in front of them, they, like the border residents of Datang, fell into deep panic and self-doubt.

How could Datang dispatch such a terrifying army?

At this time, they lost most of their war horses and food in the previous defeat, and their spirits and bodies were tortured. How could they possibly defeat the menacing Datang army?
Almost without any resistance, it was completely annexed by the Tang army.

The army of millions turned into a torrent, occupying the skyline, trampling towards the West Turks in a mighty way.

They didn't hurt the Tuyuhun herdsmen who passed by, they just kept chasing and killing the remnants of the Western Turkic army.

Because those herdsmen have become the people of Datang!
On the contrary, those remnants of the Western Turkic army were also burning, killing and looting while retreating, just like dying people doing their last madness.

These Tuyuhun people were very angry, and they took the initiative to welcome the Tang army, and organized forces to encircle the Western Turks.

This made the situation of the defeated Western Turks even worse.

It can be said that in this battle, the Western Turks have lost all the conditions for victory, and there is no possibility of winning.

The million-strong army of the Tang Dynasty was invincible, and with the support of a powerful supply line, they pushed all the way from Tuyuhun to the territory of Western Turkic!
However, even in the territory of the Western Turks, the Tang army still did not have any enemies, and all the cities they passed surrendered.

In order to compete for the statue of the wolf god, Western Turks sent out most of their military power.

Although some troops were hastily recruited, none of them had much combat experience, and they hardly knew what war was.

In front of Datang's million-strong army, before they had time to make any waves, it was like a mantis blocking a car with his arms, and he was not an opponent of the same level at all.

Many cities hadn't even begun to prepare for resistance, but when they saw that the Tang army was overwhelmed, they lost all fighting spirit and immediately opened the city gates and surrendered.

And in the back, even the entire army of the city fled, leaving only the common people.

Facing an army of millions, anyone with a normal mind would not try to hold on.

At the beginning, Gao Gouli was able to resist the former Sui Dynasty because of its geographical advantage, and there were five Iron Blade cities as fortresses, which could disgust the army's supply line.

The Western Turks are basically plains, and there is not much terrain to rely on.

How can they resist the menacing Datang army?

The Tang army was also very principled, and did not kill any civilians, but only attacked the Western Turkic army.

Those who resisted in the corner were directly executed, and those who surrendered were escorted back to Yashan, waiting to become cannon fodder for Datang in the future.

Although every time a city is occupied, troops must be divided into guards, but for a million-strong army, there is not much burden.

Because in the face of the Tang army, the Western Turks have already been scared out of their nerves!
It took less than forty days to conquer [-]% of the territory of Western Turks.

The main force of the Western Turks was chased by Li Jing's [-] cavalry all the way!
Compared with the horses fed by the Tang army with grain, the Western Turkic people and horses are simply the existence of younger brothers.

Facing Datang's army, he couldn't escape, and couldn't catch up. He could only be reduced to fish and meat, and was constantly eaten away by Li Jing.

At this time, Li Jing was not worried about the supply problem at all.

Because behind him, all the cities have been captured by Datang's main forces!

The vanguard army he led was like a sharp knife, directly tearing through the defense of the Western Turks!

In the end, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, relying on his unique and unparalleled military talent, continued to pull, forcefully used [-] cavalry, and completely wiped out the main force of more than [-] Western Turks!
More than 3 people were captured, as well as more than a dozen leaders of Western Turkic families.

It can be said that the life and death of most of the high-level officials in Western Turks have already fallen into the hands of Datang.

But Datang's battle damage was less than [-].

It can be said that this is an outright victory!

The invincible legend of the Great Tang Army God has added a rich touch!
Datang's glorious history of foreign wars has added a new chapter.

When this news reached the Western Turkic royal court, the last trace of fighting spirit in the hearts of the remaining Western Turkic nobles completely collapsed!
In the current situation, if the fight continues, the only way to die is to destroy the country and species!

The more than 30 Western Turkic troops who rushed to Tuyuhun were completely wiped out, and [-]% of the territory was also captured by the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that the former overlord of the Altun Grassland and the master of the Silk Road, West Turkic, has no way to return to heaven, and is powerless to return to heaven!
Just like its name, it will soon return to the west.

Within seven days, the Western Turkic royal court issued more than a dozen intentions to surrender, and even sent envoys to kneel down, begging Datang to withdraw its troops.

Promise that from now on, Datang will be regarded as a monarchy and will obey Datang's dispatch.

Offer the proceeds of the Silk Road, never betray, only ask Datang to withdraw.

However, Li Jing didn't accept it, didn't even look at it a few times, and let the messenger go!

Because he understands Li Shimin.

Li Shimin would never agree to such a thing!

Just like what Wang Yuan said at the beginning.

Letting him submit is a gift for him, if he is not willing to accept it, he will be directly given to perish!

With these alien races, there is no need to be too polite!

If it was the once extremely powerful Western Turks who were willing to submit to Datang, Datang would naturally welcome it.

But the current Western Turks are nothing more than an empty shelf.

The army was basically wiped out, and most of the territory was captured.

At this point, these poor and white guys actually want to surrender to Datang?
Just don't be too ridiculous.

They have lost their qualifications to negotiate!

This war can only have one result from the beginning to the end, that is, the destruction of the Western Turks, and the Great Tang captures all the territory of the Western Turks!
Since all these territories I have conquered are mine, why do I want your surrender?
Taking ten thousand steps back, if you surrender, then what is the significance of my Tang Dynasty mobilizing millions of troops?
Is it a pain in the ass?
In this way, no matter how much the Western Turkic court begged, it could not stop the march of the Tang Dynasty!

They are still devouring the territory of Western Turks methodically step by step.

Another month passed, and the last resistance of the Western Turks was completely wiped out.

The royal court was captured by the Tang army, and all the Western Turkic nobles were reduced to prisoners!
The royal court has since become history!
In this battle, a total of nearly 60 Western Turkic troops were turned into dust and blood and wiped out.

Plus the casualties of the people and the army of Tuguhun.

In just over two months, more than 100 million people buried their bones in the grassland and died forever.

This is basically equivalent to fighting a battle of Verdun!

The smell of blood on the grassland is extremely strong, and you can smell it just by walking on the ground.

The Western Turks have operated the Silk Road for so many years, and all the wealth they have accumulated has been transported back to Chang'an.

The Western Turks have been completely destroyed since then!
When this overlord of the Silk Road swallowed his last breath and entered his grave, the Western Regions and grasslands were also plunged into an unprecedented earthquake!

It's like a small stone hitting the lake, no matter how small it is, it can cause ripples~
Not to mention, West Turkic is not a small stone, but a big meteorite!

It is still a meteorite that can directly smash the lake water!
The entire Western Regions shook!

The countries in the Western Regions, as well as the Uighur and other countries in the north, were all frightened out of their wits, unable to sleep or eat.

You must know that three months ago, Western Turks were still the supreme power in the Altyn Grassland. These small countries, like Tuyuhun, were all attached to Western Turks and maintained the Silk Road for Western Turks.

But now, this behemoth collapsed as soon as it said it would collapse, without any signs at all.

You must know that these countries are almost all younger brothers in front of the Western Turks, and they are not opponents at all.

If it weren't for the inability of Western Turks to manage such a large land, it is estimated that these regimes would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

But now Datang, just like that, crushed the Western Turks to death like a cockroach!
The gap is so big that they can't even imagine it!

In front of Datang, I am afraid that I am not even an ant, at best I am just a speck of dust.

There is no hesitation, nor any other choice.

These countries sent missions one after another, took most of the treasures, and rushed to Datang overnight.

There is only one purpose, and that is to surrender to Datang and become its vassal state before Datang turns his attention to himself.

No matter how important wealth is, it is not as important as your own life.

No matter whether they are willing to admit it or accept it, they cannot change the fact that Datang has become the overlord of the Silk Road!

From then on, they could only rely on Datang's breath to survive.

After this battle!
The Silk Road was fully opened.

Datang occupies the entire land of East Asia.

Officially has the strength to conquer Central Asia, West Asia, Europe, and even the whole world!
