Chapter 1050 Looking Back
The power of the heavy armored cavalry is beyond doubt, unless it is encountered by an army formed by heavy armored infantry, and the Gelulu people did not have the strength to form a heavy armored infantry army. Under the leadership of Shen Long, the Tang army easily penetrated Gelulu's central army and divided it into two halves. Then the army broke into a circle on the outer bib and attacked and cut it again.
After repeated incidents, the military formation of the Gelulu people was cut to pieces, and the command system was completely torn apart, and there was no way to organize an effective attack. It was divided and surrounded by the Tang Dynasty, Uighurs and their servants.
Under such circumstances, the battle situation turned into unilateral killing. The Geluo people kept falling, and the flags of one general after another fell. They had cut off their desire to win and just wanted to escape from this hell as soon as possible.
Some people turned around and fled backwards, and were quickly caught up. The Tang coalition forces cut off his head from behind; some people tried to jump into the Yilishui, but either forgot to take off their armor when they entered the water, and were quickly drowned by the weight of the armor, or were killed by the arrows of the Tang soldiers, and some even forgot that they could not swim at all. They were carried by a large group of people into the Yilishui, and were soon washed downstream by the water flow.
At sunset, the battle finally came to an end. The remaining Gelulu people on the battlefield gave up their resistance. They were surrounded by the Tang coalition forces and had no chance of escaping. They could only get off the horse, put down their weapons, knelt on the ground and ask for surrender to the generals of the Tang Dynasty. Shen Long accepted their surrender.
According to statistics after the war, the Tang coalition forces killed a total of tens of thousands of elite Gelulu people in this battle. In addition, the number of people surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Gelulu people lost half of their troops in this battle. This battle was equivalent to breaking the backbone of Gelulu people. Without more than ten or twenty years of hard work, the Gelulu people would definitely not be able to recover their strength!
The fertile Yili Valley land fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Due to insufficient manpower, the Tang Dynasty could not occupy this land. Therefore, he allocated this place to the servants who performed the most heroic in this battle. Their families restricted each other and no one could easily control the land and thus grow.
If you want to live better here, you must hold the Tang Dynasty's thighs tightly, and the Tang Dynasty will indirectly control the place as an arbiter. If anyone violates the will of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to send troops to the Tang Dynasty. Just reveal a little meaning, a tribe that covets this land will solve them.
The Uighurs also made a lot of money. Most of the wealth accumulated by the Gelulu people over the years was borne by them. Gu Dulu and others were overjoyed. They believed that with this great victory, their status in the Uighur king's tent would be greatly increased, and Princess Xian'an, who planned this battle, would also become one of the winners.
For the Uighurs, Khan, who could lead them to victory in the war and bring a lot of spoils, is worth following. Now Princess Xian'an has allowed them to defeat the Geluo people, gain a lot of wealth, and a lot of grasslands with abundant water and grass. Then, if Princess Xian'an has any orders next time, the tribes will definitely respond enthusiastically.
Gu Dulu and others were originally proud, but when they thought of the strength of the Tang army, they couldn't help but start to be glad. Fortunately, this army has always been in good terms with the Uighurs. Otherwise, when this army starts to attack the Uighurs, they will definitely not be able to stop the offensive of the Tang army, and they will definitely be easily torn to pieces like these Gelulu people.
Originally, many of them were dissatisfied with Princess Xian'an taking over the power of the Uighurs. After all, there were few female protagonists in power on the grassland, and Princess Xian'an's approach did not conform to the tradition of the Uighurs; but now, they are increasingly supporting Princess Xian'an to continue to control the Uighurs' tent.
Because Princess Xian'an can not only bring them rich spoils, but more importantly, she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty. As long as she continues to take power, the Tang Dynasty's army will not come back. There is nothing more happy than standing on the united front with such a powerful Tang Dynasty army.
"Rules, where will we fight next?" After a break, Gu Dulu and others couldn't wait to come and ask for the battle. This battle made them rich, but who would think that making money is too little?
"Go south and go to pick up Prince Guo!" Under the leadership of Shen Long, the army marched south to the shore of Rehai. To the west of Rehai is the famous Shuye City.
Earlier, the four towns in Anxi were not Khotan, Shule, Kucha and Yanqi, but Kucha, Khotan, Shule, and Shule. From Yanqi between Kucha and Xizhou, it was replaced by Shule, which was thousands of miles away from the west. This shows that the power of the Tang Dynasty was so radiating at that time. Now that he has the opportunity to take down Shule City and recreate the glory of the Tang Dynasty. I believe Guo Xin must be very happy?
Guo Xin was of course happy. After taking Shule City and heading north through the Tianshan Pass and entering the Zhenzhu River Basin, he joined forces with the friendly troops led by Prince Bahan.
After the two sides joined forces, they quickly went north to surround Suoye City. Because the main force of the Gelulu people was attracted by Shen Long to the Yili Waterside to fight the Tang Dynasty coalition forces, the defense in Suoye City was empty and was soon taken down by Guo Xin.
This important town, built during the Gaozong period of the Tang Dynasty, was the farthest west of Chang'an, finally returned to the Tang Dynasty, severely damaged the Geluo army and captured the Yili River Valley and Suye City. This western expedition had achieved its combat purpose.
Although there are still many Geluo tribes on the vast land between Saiyeshui and Yilishui, it is too troublesome to completely eliminate them; and after completely destroying them, the Tang Dynasty will face the threat of the Black-clothed Food and the Black-clothed Food, so Shen Long and Guo Xin both decided to stop the offensive for the time being and let those Geluo people become a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and the Black-clothed Food and the Black-clothed Food and the Black-clothed Food and the Black-clothed Food and the Black-clothed Food and the Black-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and the Double-clothed Food and
Guo Xin planned to leave a small number of Tang army and his servants to garrison Suiye City. In addition to Bahanna and those small tribes that depended on the Tang Dynasty, it should be no problem to maintain suppression of the Geluo people.
"Now there is no force in the west and north of the Protectorate's Palace that can threaten our Tang Dynasty!" Guo Xin said. The only ones who could threaten this direction were Shatu Turks and the Gelulu people. Now the Shatu Turks have surrendered, and the Gelu people have just suffered a crushing defeat, and both of these threats have been cleared.
As for the desert in the south, there is only one direction for the Tang Dynasty to attack. Shen Long and Guo Xin stood at the top of the city and looked at Chang'an's release. "It has been too long since the land of Longyou fell into the Tubo hand. Now the threats from other directions have been completely eliminated. It is time to lead the army to look back and look east!"
