Chapter 386 (1/2)
At this time, Wei Ran and the heavy cavalry on the right wing of Wuwei army launched an assault on the enemy's flank again. After the Fenglin army charged, the heavy cavalry of Wuwei army penetrated directly from the right wing of tens of thousands of enemy troops to the left wing, dividing its infantry array into two parts.
As a result, the Huihe army was defeated miserably. Only 20000 Chinese troops with pure cavalry turned around and ran away, and tens of thousands of other troops were either captured or killed.
Zhao Hui wanted Wei Ran to chase them to Yumen pass. After leaving Yumen pass, he withdrew his troops completely.
However, Wei Ran followed the idea of eliminating evil and integrating the potential of 8000 troops. With the death of 3000 main generals, the light cavalry of Wuwei army temporarily incorporated by Wei ran out of Yumen pass all the way.
The Huihe Khan was frightened. Even if the number of people was dominant, he didn't dare to fight back. There were countless relatives who retreated and fell behind all the way. Until the foot of the Tianshan Mountain in Xizhou, there were only 6000 loyal tribal members around him.
Wei Ran could have caught up and killed them all. But considering that the Tang Dynasty has come to the end, it has long been lack of ruling power over the western regions.
Therefore, Wei Ran plans to use this pursuit to let all countries in the western regions along the Silk Road know that there are still strong soldiers in China and can still cross the western regions. Although they are far away, they will be killed!
In this way, they liberated Xizhou, Yanqi and kuci all the way, and even accepted 3000 Tang army veterans who were almost regarded as bandits by local people.
The average age of these three thousand horses is up to 40, but they are all generalists. They are not only good at infantry and horse warfare, but also good at forging iron, papermaking, textiles, carpenters, farming and grazing. Otherwise, they can't survive in the dangerous and hostile Western regions.
Their chief general, surnamed Guo, was the descendant of Guo Ziyi, a famous general in the Mid Tang Dynasty. After seeing that there were strong armies in China and the western regions, everyone was excited. They took the initiative to reduce their military posts and joined the Fenglin army system.
They were familiar with the terrain from Shule to Dashi, which brought great help to Wei Ran.
More than 13000 troops crossed and crossed the western regions. It was a disaster for those small city states that had established the western regions for a long time. As long as they dared to contact the Huihe troops, Wei Ran took advantage of the situation to destroy the country.
After Shule and Sabbath on the way, they met such old Tang mercenary tribes as Tu Qishi and Ge luolu. When they saw a powerful army like Huihe, they were also chased and killed by Fenglin army, and they didn't even dare to turn back.
On the way, all the tribal city states that dared to help the Huihe troops were crushed into powder. These tribes who were good at speculation in the past immediately knelt down to meet Wei Ran, almost regarded him as the king of conquering the world and took the initiative to join as a servant.
In this way, Wei Ran's main army includes the servants recruited all the way, with a force of up to 100000, not including some nomadic tribes who always follow behind their hips.
We are not afraid of lack of supplies on the road. With such a powerful force in the western regions, we can survive well even by plundering and supporting the war, and can become more and more powerful.
Not to mention the weak nomadic tribes who follow Wei Ran's ass and regard Wei ran as a protective god. Their cattle and sheep are almost ready to use, while the horses of soldiers with the army should be taken care of carefully and dare not neglect.
The army turned over the onion collar and pursued the surviving Huihe Khan king to Talos, which was the place where Gao Xianzhi lost the battle with Dashi, and the limit of control over Central Asia in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, the impact of the defeat of Talas was not as serious as what was said on the Internet. The original control area of Datang is still under its control, and Dashi failed to extend its tentacles to the east of scallion collar.
In addition, Datang had enough strength to expand to the west, but the rebellion broke out in the back towns, which ended the prosperous era, and its strength in the western regions became weaker and weaker, gradually losing control of the whole western region.
In Talos, Wei Ran beheaded the Huihe Khan king in front of the food army. They ran the remaining 3000 Huihe elite prisoners, and their head was built into a Beijing temple.
