There are large grasslands in the north that provide a steady supply of war horses, and a large desert in the west as a natural barrier, and also has an extremely important trade route. The rise of Datang is already overwhelming.

In response to the Tang army's unscrupulous capture of the city, the Western Turks chose to remain silent.

The Tang army used their great military exploits to make a prestige, which not only frightened the small countries in the Western Regions and fled to Chang'an to seek refuge, but also made a powerful country like the Western Turks watch the Tang army pry their teeth in their mouths one by one.

It hurts, but I don't dare to resist!

After opening up the Silk Road, Cheng Yanjin led the Tang army to swagger around the territory of the Western Turks, constantly provoking the bottom line of the Western Turks.

Finally, one of the generals under Desire Valley couldn't bear the humiliation, and privately recruited 10,000 tribal warriors to start a war with Cheng Yanjin.

After Yugu learned about it, he silently added 40,000 soldiers to him, gathered 50,000 horses, and tentatively launched an attack on the Tang army.

Cheng Biting Jin was not ambiguous, the scout encountered the Western Turkic cavalry and came back to report, he immediately opened a posture on the Gobi Desert, and all 29 cannons were pulled out and placed in the center. A dozen meters behind the cannon was a large array of infantry, and on the left and right sides were cavalry.

Before the Western Turkic cavalry arrived, Cheng Yanjin asked people to load the gunpowder shells newly invented by Chen Fei.

What the? Unstable and not ready to be used on the battlefield? It doesn't matter, make a few for later, and you can use them in case of an enemy.

Chen Fei was fooled by Cheng Biting Jin in this way, and asked the craftsmen to cooperate with him to make more than 100 gunpowder shells.

In order to prevent the bore from exploding, the leads of these shells are very long, and they may explode after hitting the ground for a while, but this doesn't matter to Cheng Yanjin, anyway, it would be good if the shells could explode when they were shot.

The Western Turkic soldiers were still three miles away from the Tang army's formation, and Cheng Yanjin stood on the wind-dried rock, and saw their cavalry from a distance through the telescope. Then the order was given to let the cannon adjust its orientation and fire at the angle with the farthest range!

"Boom, boom!" Twenty-nine cannons roared and spewed fireballs towards the Western Turkic cavalry.

There are still three miles away from the Tang army, and the 30,000 Tang troops in the distance look like they are just sesame dots, and the Western Turks are horrified to find that at such a distance, the Tang army actually shot the thunderbolt fire, and before the thunderbolt exploded, the shells smashed seven or eight soldiers in a straight line into pulp! Then explode!

It didn't take long for the Don Army to fire a second round of shells! Although there were fewer shells fired, this did not alleviate the fear in the hearts of the Western Turkic soldiers!

The explosion of gunpowder at an ultra-long distance immediately broke the momentum of the Western Turkic cavalry. The disrupted cavalry team was sparse, and there was no threat in Cheng Yanjin's eyes.

He also no longer kept, after three rounds, the infantry put up a repulsion formation, the artillery retreated, and the cavalry flanks on the left and right sides surrounded them, and swarmed up!

The Western Turks were blown up by the Tang army, and suffered heavy losses, but before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the Tang army was in a neat formation, and rushed up with a scream.

As soon as they took over, the Western Turks suffered a big loss, the forward soldiers were beheaded, suffered heavy losses, and the front line fled.

The soldiers in front ran away, and the back was in chaos. The Western Turkic soldiers really had a shadow on the thunderbolt and the Tang army, those who were scorched black by the thunderbolt fire, and the tragic image of their compatriots with broken bodies lingered in their minds.

So there was such a funny scene. More than 40,000 Western Turkic soldiers were chased by more than 10,000 Tang cavalry, and the whole process of fighting took less than half an hour, which can be described as a mess!

After the First World War, the Western Turks no longer dared to trouble the Tang Dynasty, not only did they not withdraw their troops, but they also took the initiative to give up a large area of land and let the Tang army occupy it.

They no longer dared to compete with the Tang army, and instead went to the West to seize the territory of the Arab Empire, which was still in civil strife......

The Western Turks were instigated, and the kings of other small countries even ran to Chang'an to seek refuge, and the Tang army was invincible in the Western Regions, quickly stabilizing the chaos in the Western Regions. The next thing is to wait for the imperial court to send relevant officials to dock, and even if Cheng Yanjin completes the task, they can return to the court.

However, before the arrival of the officials of the imperial court, there is one more thing that Cheng Yanjin needs to do, that is, to sweep away the bandits and bandits on the border of the Western Regions and ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road.

The Western Regions have barren resources and a harsh climate, and there is almost no harvest, so they rely on grazing to make a living.

They also don't want the people of the steppe, who have a large area of fertile grassland, and they have little pasture to use, so most people live in poverty.

Life could not go on, and naturally some bold people did the work of robbers. This territory is full of horse bandits and robbers.

Almost a few miles away, you will come across a group of horse bandits, a few dozen people, and a large number of hundreds.

Although the number of a gang of horse bandits is small, the victory is large. According to a rough estimate, there are hundreds of horse bandits on the border of the Western Regions, and it is also very troublesome to clean them up one by one.

Cheng Yanjin ordered the division of troops, with centurions as units, and assigned tasks to each centurion to clean up the horse bandits on the border.

The sweep of the horse bandits lasted for more than half a month, and under the fierce force suppression of the Tang army, these horse bandits were either killed or surrendered.

The chaotic territory of the Western Regions, with the entry of the Tang Army, finally gradually stabilized.

Soon after the cleanup of the horse bandits, the imperial decree also spread to the Western Regions. The imperial court will follow the practice of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and set up the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in the Western Regions, with a governor and 30,000 soldiers under his command, and no more than 50,000 soldiers shall be recruited by themselves.

At this point, the affairs of the Western Regions have finally come to an end. The territory of the Tang Dynasty Quartet has almost all been calmed down and included in its own pocket.

The only headache is the Goguryeo Three Kingdoms in the east and the Tibetan tribes in the southwest. However, these countries have not harassed Datang for the time being, and there is no need to be too successful.

On the way back, Cheng Yanjin kept putting on a stinky face, as if someone owed him five copper plates.

Chen Fei expected that most of the old guys didn't have a good time, and he felt a sulk in his heart. If you return to Chang'an, I'm afraid that the kings of those vassal countries will be unlucky.

"Stinky boy! What are you laughing at! Come over to the old man! Cheng bit Jin and hooked his finger at Chen Fei, and Chen Fei rode up on a horse's ass.

"Uncle Cheng, what's the matter with looking for your little nephew?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, why is it better to be a yin person? Especially the kings of the Yin vassal kingdoms. ”

it! And so it was! Chen Fei silently mourned for the kings of those vassal kingdoms in his heart.

"Uncle Cheng, the little nephew is very kind and naïve, how can he be a perine?" Chen Fei struggled to squeeze out a smile.

"Less! Hurry up and come up with an idea for the old man, otherwise the old man will beat you to death! Cheng bites Jin and smiles harmlessly.

Chen Fei............
