In the north of Liangzhou, the Tang army's cavalry team had already dispersed at this time. The scattered cavalry mixed among the Turkic soldiers. The cavalry only held the sword in their hands and chopped the Turkic soldiers around them, their heads, blood, broken limbs, and intestines and livers that flowed out of their chests and abdomen. Some people were thrown off the horses by horses. Before they could get up, they were trampled by the loud cavalry's iron hooves. In the heavy trampling, the painful neighing of the wounded soldiers and the last shrill roar of the deceased.

A Turkic soldier picked up his broken arm from the ground and opened his horrified eyes to look at it. Blood spurted out from his broken arms. In his horrified eyes, a running horse's hoof was getting closer and closer. The horse's hoof stepped on his body. He fell to the ground like a rotten door panel blown by the strong wind.

A Turkic soldier's abdomen was digging open with a long knife, and his intestines flowed out loud. The Turkic soldier held his intestines with both hands and stuffed them into his abdomen. At this time, the Tang cavalry around him rushed by, and no one paid attention to the person with bloody hands holding his intestines.

In the desolate field, the defeated soldiers continued to collapse in the direction they came. The Tang cavalry was rushing behind them, and the cavalry's horse hooves were almost stepping on the backs of the Turkic soldiers.

At the beginning, they removed all their equipment and only wore winter cotton coats. The heavy iron armor would affect the speed of the cavalry. At this time, the veritable light cavalry rushed from Liangzhou. Their war horses were all good horses from the north, and the pursuit was so fast that a large number of Liangzhou cavalry mixed in the enemy's retreating team.

There is me in the enemy, and there is an enemy in the enemy. The Turkic soldiers have lost their will to resist. They were chased by the Tang cavalry like rabbits chased by eagles on the grassland. With the sound of ghosts and wolves, the horse's hooves trampled across the northern part of Liangzhou. The ground in northern Liangzhou was full of corpses, and the strong smell of blood drifted around. The red blood melted the cold snow.

The slashing continued from noon until the sun set. The pursuit team killed the Turkic defeated soldiers for more than six hours. Within a hundred miles, there were the corpses of the Turkic defeated soldiers everywhere. In some places, the subsequent cavalry with many corpses of the defeated soldiers could not pass, so they had to take a detour.

The war horses were almost not on the road, but on the dead body, and under the iron cavalry, the bodies were twisted and struggled constantly by the horse's hooves, as if the dying person was curled up in his body for the final struggle. In some places, piles of corpses were trampled into piles of flesh and blood on the ground by the horse's hooves, and they could no longer tell how many corpses were in the pile of flesh and blood.

The horse's hooves were wrapped in blood and corpses, and the horse's hooves were already scarlet.

As the sky gradually faded, the defeated soldiers had already rushed to the edge of a river. This was already the territory of the Turks and belonged to the hinterland of the Turks. There was a thin layer of ice on the river. The horse hooves of the defeated soldiers trampled the ice on the river, and the broken ice was everywhere. In the sound of the iron horse ice river, there was the sound of the horse hooves of the Tang army behind them.

The Tang army's horse hooves did not stop at all, and kept rushing towards the river in pursuit. The many defeated soldiers flooded the river channel, and the river water almost stopped flowing due to the large impact of the defeated soldiers.

The Tang cavalry left behind, and the water in the river was dyed red by the blood of the defeated soldiers. The corpses were floating everywhere. Because the river channel downstream was frozen, piles of corpses floated on the riverbed that was not turbulent and deep. In the afterglow of the sunset, the riverbed was blocked, and the water from the upstream flooded the riverbed and flowed towards the four fields.

The sunset had already set, but the Tang cavalry did not stop the horse's hooves of pursuit. The Turkic soldiers rushed towards the gray field with a crying and howling. When the night gradually dimmed, the Tang cavalry stopped their horse stance and set up camps on the grassland. The grassland soldiers could only take a breath.

At the beginning, more than 400,000 Turkic cavalry had been trampled on each other for a day and were wantonly chopped by the Tang cavalry. At this time, there were only more than 200,000 defeated soldiers who had no fighting spirit and had no armor. They were so tired that they were chasing that they lay directly on the field and could no longer get up. The defeated soldiers were everywhere in the mountains and fields, and the collapsed team was in chaos, and many people could not even find their own tribes.

In the next two days, a scene that shocked later generations appeared on the grassland. Every day, the sky was slightly bright, and a large number of Tang cavalry rushed towards the Turkic soldiers. When they were in front of the sword, the Turkic soldiers almost did not resist. They climbed onto the horses and whipped the war horses to escape. On the night of the moonlight, the cavalry even took advantage of the moonlight to chase the grassland. On the second day, heavy snow fell on the grassland. On the snowy night, against the backdrop of the snow, the Tang cavalry killed the Turkic soldiers in the sky and cried and shouted to their mothers. Many Turkic soldiers ran and knelt on the ground and surrendered to the rushing Tang cavalry. They could no longer disarm because their weapons had been thrown away during their previous escape.

This is a scene that has puzzled later generations. At this time, it is already the hinterland of the Turks. Here, no matter which grassland tribe is suddenly attacked, the Tang army is in danger of being attacked and collapsed. More than 20,000 Tang cavalry can be called a lonely team on the grassland, while the opponent is in their own hometown. They have the advantage of geographical advantages. Moreover, the Tang army cannot get any reinforcements at all, while the Turks can get reinforcements from tribes along the way.

However, the previous incident was destined to not receive reinforcements at this time. He had previously stationed troops in the northern part of Liangzhou and had almost all the troops on the grassland. The 400,000 army was already a considerable team for the Turkic tribes, which had a small population. At this time, the tribes along the way had not had much force at all, and the strong Turkic aid did not exist at all.

On the other hand, the morale of the Turkish army was infinitely close to zero at this time. Their soldiers could not forget the explosion that day, the black smoke and flames soaring into the sky, and the warriors who were thrown off the horses in the flames and black smoke, and trampled to death by their own people. They could not forget the scene of the Tang soldiers who had always been looked down upon by them as if they were evil spirits. Many grassland soldiers had nightmares in broad daylight. Although the Turkish noble generals kept encouraging morale in the collapsed team, every time they heard the sound of horse hooves of the Tang army, the defeated soldiers rushed to run away as if they heard the horn of death. Even absurd rumor circulated in the collapsed team, which was that the gods were punishing them.

On October 18, the third year of Wude, the Tang army pursued the Turkic soldiers for three days. In the three days, the cavalry chased the Turkic soldiers for nearly a thousand miles. The Turkic soldiers and horses were killed and injured along the way could not be counted. The cavalry chased from the northern part of Liangzhou to the vicinity of the royal court.

On the evening of October 18, the third year of Wude, Jie Li Khan's envoy came to seek peace with the rituals, and the pursuit was over. At this time, after three consecutive days and three nights of pursuit, the Tang army was also trapped and exhausted. The morale supported by hatred and the enthusiasm of the defending country could not withstand much consumption. Moreover, the pursuit of thousands of miles caused Liu Shan's team to be completely trapped in the heart of the Turks. The pursuit was over. If it continued to pursue, it was not the destruction of the grassland soldiers, but the defeat of the grassland soldiers who rushed to the royal court to rescue him.

On the evening of October 18, the third year of Wude, the Tang cavalry accepted the request of the envoy Jie Li Khan and withdrew from the vicinity of the royal court that night. At this time, it was undoubtedly a miracle that the Tang cavalry could withdraw from the suburbs of the royal court. Because at this time, more than a dozen tribes on the grassland rescued the men had rushed to the royal court. Although they were not large in number, they were still more than enough to surround and kill the exhausted 20,000 Tang troops.
