Chapter 251 Blood-stained Grassland Eight

People have the same heart. When facing the tide of the Western Turks rushing over, these betrayers just now were rarely tragic, and the army blocked the route of the Western Turkish cavalry breaking through. When other cavalry corps around arrived, the defense line of the Western Regions, which was originally considered to be the easiest to break through, persisted for nearly an hour and a half, which was absolutely unprecedented.

In fact, it is not very strange that the countries in the Western Regions can fight for such a long time in such a situation.

After all, they came here with the Western Turkic army from the beginning. They were originally enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Although they were forced by the Western Turkic, the enemy was the enemy and there was no reason.

At this time, the Western Turks had obviously reached the end of their journey and were surrounded by the opponent's absolute superior forces. Moreover, they were fighting away at this time, and they did not have any advantage regardless of the right time, place, and people. Faced with the end of the Western Turks, the countries in the Western Regions naturally did not want to be buried with the Western Turks. Their only way out was to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, or to surrender to the King of Han.

The King of Han did intend to accept their surrender before, but if they want to surrender, it depends on their own performance. If they perform well, there will be no problem with surrender. On the contrary, if their performance is not satisfactory, their ending can be imagined.

Moreover, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the Western Turks were defeated here. Then, the location and national strength of the countries in the Western Regions determine that they will inevitably suffer from the Tang Dynasty's liquidation in the future. When they surrender successfully, they will naturally not be the target of the liquidation. On the contrary, they did not surrender successfully at this time, and they were the most Western Turkish coalition. The result can be imagined.

Therefore, after realizing such a general environment, the Western Regions countries resolutely took out all their strength. If their strength was preserved before, they could still be said. In the end, they were forced to pull the chariot by the Western Turks. But if they still had to retain their strength at this time, it only means that they thought their country's life was too long.

What is the life of death? This is the case with the countries in the Western Regions at this time. Liu Shan forced them to a desperate situation. In this desperate situation, they either tried their best to prove their true heart of surrender, or died here, and then their country and nation were ruthlessly liquidated.

The one and a half hours they fought for determined the fate of the Western Turks. In this untimely and not long-lasting war, the Western Turks army was surrounded and killed on all sides. In the end, less than 50,000 troops were able to kill the encirclement. The rest of them either became numerous corpses on the grassland, or had already put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

Even if the 50,000 Western Turkic troops broke out of the encirclement, they could only say that they had walked out of the first hurdle of their destiny. After all, they were alone in the enemy's territory, and around them, there were nearly one million enemies. These subjects who were not even considered opponents, and the numerous crimes they committed in the prairie would inevitably arouse the people's rise and resistance.

The history of later generations called this battle the "Hundred Regiments War". Because Liu Shan later reformed the army and adjusted the number and organization of the army. The adjusted regiment had about 10,000 people. The Turkic Grassland battle almost gathered all the people from two Turkic countries and Han cavalry, as well as the Hebei Infantry Group and the coalition forces of the Western Regions. The number of people has exceeded one million. Therefore, the title of the Hundred Regiments War is very suitable.

This battle completely destroyed the living forces of the Western Turks. Even the more than 50,000 Western Turkish troops who escaped, less than 10,000 people actually fled back to their hometowns later. There are such records in later history books.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Wude, the army of Tongye Hu finally returned to the Western Turkic grassland. The originally vast army was less than 10,000 people. They almost got all the war horses and arms, and when Tongye Hu, as the Khan, came back, he had already reached the point of being unclothed. As the commander of an army, so that other soldiers were miserable, there was no need to talk about the miserable situation. Some people even said that the one who went out was an army and the one who came back was a group of refugees.

On August 25, 2014, the army chasing the defeated Western Turks had returned continuously. This time they returned not the temporary royal court, but the real Eastern Turks royal court.

However, when several truly powerful figures gathered in this era, they were not going to the royal court, but a hot spring around the royal court.

This was the residence of Princess Sinan before, and it was also the most well-preserved place around the royal court. As for the royal court itself, it had long become a ruin under the trampling of the Western Turks. All Princess Sinan's residences were well preserved, probably because people's appreciation of beauty had common characteristics. Even the barbarians of grassland like the Western Turks faced the residence of Princess Sinan, which looked like a fairyland, probably had the idea of ​​being unable to bear to destroy it.

How many people gathered here this time? The historical materials later cannot be verified. However, Princess Sinan, the owner, was present.

The other powerful people are naturally Liu Shan, King of Han of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande of Xia of Hebei, and Jie Li Khan, who is a puppet who no longer has any real power.

It can be said that several powerful figures who were enough to influence the future generations were already present at this time, and the military power they controlled was absolutely unprecedented. At this time, the Liangzhou Legion under Liushan was close to 70,000 troops, the Hebei Legion under the jurisdiction of the sub-Hebei Legion was close to 250,000 troops, and the Turkic Legion under the jurisdiction of the previous war was only more than 60,000, and the total force was nearly 400,000. Although the Eastern Turkic forces lost heavy losses in Liangzhou, they once again lost heavy losses in the subsequent wars of the two Turkic ones.

, but at this time there was still nearly 200,000 military force, and the Qin King Legion coming from the south also had more than 120,000 military force. At this time, the generals gathered here were commanding a powerful legion of nearly 600,000. If the troops of the Western Regions were counted here, nearly 700,000 troops had already gathered here. Of course, this place does not include nearly 300,000 prisoners from the Western Turks and more than 100,000 Eastern Turkish civilian troops gathered together. The civilian army was the title proposed by Liu Shan, and they themselves did not think so.

In the conference living room of Princess Sinan's mansion, Princess Yicheng and Jie Li Khan, who were the masters, naturally sat in the master's position. At this time, Jie Li Khan was completely controlled by Princess Yi Cheng and became a puppet-like puppet.

The one sitting in the lower left of Princess Yicheng was naturally King Han Liu Shan, and the one sitting in the lower right was Princess Sinan. Dou Jiande, who was the subordinate of Liu Shan, sat under Liu Shan. The King of Qin, as the commander of the Tang Dynasty, was intentionally or unintentionally arranged in the lower right by the master. In fact, no one here was stupid. The reason why King Qin sat there was definitely the master who arranged it on purpose.
