"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all the Hulu! Show off my power! Wow ya ya..."
"Dong dong dong dong..."
When Wanyan Xiebao led a group of Jurchen cavalry from the east bank of the Yunhu River back to the Tang Army's central formation on the west bank, they heard Prime Minister Cao beating a drum and screaming in the distance!
What made Wanyan Xiebao dumbfounded the most was that Prime Minister Cao of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be a bit into the drama, and he was shouting about "Kill all the barbarians and show off the power of the Tang Dynasty"!
Who does this guy think he is? Had he never looked in the mirror? With his deep eyes, high nose, white skin, and curly beard, he looks like a Hulu... Do you really think you are a descendant of Cao Cao?
What's the point of "promoting the power of the Tang Dynasty"? Did he really regard Li Renxiao as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? How ridiculous!
"Victory! Victory! Victory..."
Just when Wanyan Xiebao wanted to remind Prime Minister Cao not to get too involved in the drama and forget his original mission, a huge cheer like a mountain roaring and a tsunami suddenly came from the front. Xiebao vaguely heard that those who were cheering were shouting "Victory! Victory!" in Chinese. Needless to say, the Xitang infantry in front must have won the battle again!
Xie Bao quickly reined in his horse and stood upright in the stirrups to get a better view. Prime Minister Cao's Chinese army formation was originally placed on a high ground with good visibility on the west bank of the Yunhu River, so Xie Bao, standing in the stirrups, could easily take in the entire battlefield.
Looking west from the high ground where he was, the first thing that caught his eye was the dense mass of corpses, spread out on a large area of grassland in front of the Western Tang army's formation. There were ten to twenty thousand of them!
In several places that may have been the main direction of the Uighur attack, the dead were even piled up in layers!
And these dead people and the grass around them are covered with dense "white hairs" - these white hairs are the tail feathers on the arrows, and the arrowheads should have been inserted into the human body or the grass!
Obviously, the Black Khan Uighurs sent light infantry with no armor or only thin armor to rush into the square formation of the Western Tang Army. As a result, they were shot with bows and arrows by the Western Tang infantry and suffered heavy casualties... No, the Western Tang Army not only used Armed with bows and arrows, their Poxi army also went into battle!
Sharp-eyed Xie Bao found several golden spherical objects among the dead, which should be explosive pots that did not explode. These bombing pots are the trump card of the Poxi Army of the Western Tang Dynasty, also known as the Luotuosiao Artillery!
After combining light cannons with explosive cannons, Poxi Army, the "field cannon unit" that did not exert much power during the Dabai Gao Kingdom, has now become a trump card of the Western Tang Army.
Because the light cannon is carried by camels and can be quickly assembled. When there is no explosive pot, the lethality is not worth mentioning... How many people can be killed by throwing a few rocks? If the enemy can't even bear this, then he is a ragtag group that is vulnerable to attack.
But with the advent of explosive pots with considerable lethality, the power of small cannons has become apparent! This kind of tip cannon can penetrate larger explosive pots beyond the effective range of bows and arrows.
When the two sides are shooting at each other with bows and arrows, if a bunch of explosive pots are thrown out, the other side's archers will be in chaos?
If the opponent's infantry is killed, throwing a bomb can blow them up and down... In infantry battles, it is important to fight in a formation. Whoever's formation is messed up will suffer big losses in the subsequent confrontation.
When the infantry of the Black Khan Uighurs attacked the Western Tang infantry formation just now, they must have suffered enough from the explosion of pots, so they were defeated by the Western Tang infantry!
While he was imagining the scene when the Black Khan Uighur warriors were blown up by explosive pots and collapsed, bursts of roaring sounds suddenly came from ahead.
Wanyan Xiebao quickly followed the sound and looked over, and saw about 1,500 to 6,000 paces away, a group of about 5,000 to 6,000 Black Khan Uighur warriors (those were the Gulam warriors of Peach Blossom Stone Khan) wearing iron armor. The phalanx is being exploded!
At least thirty cannons were carried up by camels and set up on the grass just a hundred paces away from the Black Khan Uighur Army formation. They were firing explosive pots one after another at those who still maintained their posture. On the heads of the Uighur warriors in formation.
The infantry of the Western Tang Army also pressed forward, with more than 10,000 people, forming an arc formation and semi-surrounding the phalanx of the Black Khan Uighur warriors. The infantry of the Western Tang Army all brought bows and arrows, and they were shooting waves of arrows at the heads of the Black Khan Uighur warriors who were being fried.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, the Black Khan Uighur army had been completely defeated by the Western Tang infantry commanded by Prime Minister Cao. The vast battlefield was full of Black Khan Uighur soldiers who had broken up and were running westward. The human wave composed of the infantry of the Western Tang Army in white shirts slapped on the backs of the fleeing black people (the black Khan Uighurs were still black). Those Uyghurs dressed in black were like frightened sheep, just howling like crazy and running away, and didn't care about anything else. Flags, armor, weapons, dry food, water bags, and other items were discarded everywhere!
Yunhu Shui battlefield is four to five hundred miles away from Kashgar! There are no decent towns along the way. If the Uighurs just throw away their armor and baggage and leave, I am afraid that the only thing waiting for them will be annihilation...
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from both sides of Wanyan Xiebao. Xiebao knew without looking that the cavalrymen from the east bank of the river were returning!
They will divide into two groups and move towards the two wings of the Black Khan Uighur army - oh, the Black Khan Uighur army has no wings anymore. Except for the thousands of armored soldiers who were being bombarded by pots, the rest of the Black Khan Uighur troops were fleeing... For the Western Tang cavalry, all that was left was to chase them!
...
"Recruit... We won! Our Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty won a great victory! The Black Khan Uighurs are finished... The four towns of Anxi will definitely be able to recover this time, the Tang Dynasty is back! "
Prime Minister Cao finally discovered that Wanyan Xiebao had returned to the Central Army. He quickly dropped the drum beater and trotted all the way to Wanyan Xiebao.
Wanyan Xianbao glanced at him and saw that Prime Minister Cao was almost soaked inside and out, his head and face were covered with sweat, and there were faint tears in his deep eyes... Look This guy brags so much that he believes it, and he really thinks he is Prime Minister Cao of the Tang Dynasty.
No, he, Prime Minister Cao of the Tang Dynasty, is not completely bragging... He is the direct descendant of Cao's Guiyi Army!
Isn’t the Guiyi Army the Tang Army? It seems that Prime Minister Cao is still thinking about the Tang Dynasty!
"Okay!" Wanyan Xiebao smiled, "The Tang Dynasty is indeed back... Once the Black Khan Uighurs are defeated, the Western Region will definitely belong to the Tang Dynasty!
But the foundation of the Tang Dynasty lies in the Central Plains after all! Since ancient times, the king's industry has not been peaceful, and the Han and traitors have not been at odds... Even if the Tang Dynasty wanted to be peaceful in the Western Regions, the Song State in the east would not agree, right? "
Prime Minister Cao nodded and said: "What I said in the recruitment is very true... Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, the king's industry is not in peace, and the Tang and Song Dynasties are not at peace! When the west is peaceful, we will fight back and join the Great Jin Kingdom. Destroy Zhao and Song and divide the world equally!"
"Okay!" What Wanyan Xiebao wanted was Prime Minister Cao's attitude. "After Anxi is defeated, let's choose an auspicious day to support the king of the Western Tang Dynasty as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Okay...when Suiye is recovered, let the King of the Western Tang Dynasty ascend the throne in Suiye City!"
After receiving this reply from Prime Minister Cao, Wanyan Xiebao knew that his journey to the west was complete... As long as Li Renxiao became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kai would not be able to let him go.
The Han people have always said that there are no two days in the sky and no two kings among the people. Moreover, the appeal of the Tang Dynasty was extraordinary. How could Zhao Kai allow a Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions to continue to grow bigger behind his back?
Once the Tang and Song Dynasties started a war in the Western Regions, the Jin Kingdom's chances of winning would be even higher!
In addition, the enemy countries here in the Western Region look so weak! The Black Khan Uighurs, who are so famous, are so vulnerable... I really don't know how they have been able to hang around here in the Western Region for so many years?
Even people like the Dangxiang people, there is no pressure to beat them... No, such a good place cannot be just allowed to be taken advantage of by the Dangxiang people. The Kingdom of Jin must also find a way to get involved in the Western Regions!
Wanyan Xiebao thought to himself: I have to go back quickly and bring people over! It doesn't take too much. Bringing 20,000 cavalry to the Western Region is enough to conquer a large territory.
.......
Wanyan Xiebao and Prime Minister Cao Mian were actually too optimistic... What they defeated now was just the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate, which had long been reduced to the fifth scum of the war.
The Uighurs of the Khan Dynasty who established the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate were originally a nomadic people. They relied on nomadic light cavalry and settled Itak heavy cavalry, plus some Gulam warriors, to form their core force. They were still barbaric at the beginning. awesome. However, as the country stabilized and the Uighurs began to get used to a settled life, the Khanate lost its reliable nomadic cavalry. However, the Tianfang religion overwhelmed other sects and became dominant in the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate. The Khanate lost its source of Gulam slave soldiers - Tianfang believers could not sell another Tianfang believer as a slave.
Therefore, only non-Tianfang believers can become slave soldiers... After becoming slave soldiers, they will of course convert, but they must first become slave soldiers.
Therefore, after the Tianfang Sect became dominant in the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate, the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate also lost its source of Gulam (the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate was very poor and could not afford to buy it from outside) and had to be transformed into a world soldier - - They are said to be Gulam slave soldiers, but in fact all the members have become descendants of Gulam...
After losing the nomadic cavalry and "Zhengulam", of course no one could defeat the Maohuashi Khanate.
However, the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate now has a suzerain, that is, the Seljuk Turks... This is the number one power in the Western world today!
Mahmud Kashgari Khan, who was leading the expedition in person, had already escaped from the battlefield under the protection of a few Gulam knights... He would not organize a defense in Kashgar, but would directly overturn Crossing Congling, fled to Afghanistan, reported the news to Sultan Sejal Malikshah of the Great Seljuq Empire that the Tang Empire had been restored, and asked for help from that great Sultan.
