"The Great Teaching, the General Military Machine, the Commander of the Army, the former army's elite cavalry once again destroyed the thief and captive army, beheaded 500 levels, and lost six people, including three killed."

Chuanqi Fei also came to the mounts of Zhang Yuan and Ma Zheng. The Great Sect and the Hexi Army were now standing side by side to the west, marching in a fairly open and straight valley on the plateau. Just bite behind the hundreds of thousands of Turkic-Qarakhanid coalition troops who fled westward.

Although they marched less than 30 miles a day after entering the Green Mountains, they could not stand up to their opponents and walked more slowly. The brigade traveled less than 20 miles a day, so it caught up in a few days. However, Zhang Yuan, Ma Zheng and Zhao Zhongshun did not rush to order the war. Instead, he followed the enemy's brigade all the way to pursuit, constantly sending elite cavalry to defeat the broken enemy army. Within a few days, more than a dozen battles were won, and the number of enemy heads cut off was not 10,000 but 8,000 - this is still the number of beheadings, and if you count the rabble who were going to hide in the mountains on both sides of the valley and wait for death (the mountains here are all bare, and you can't find anything to eat if you climb up), tens of thousands of people have been killed.

However, the kills and wounds were all worthless miscellaneous soldiers, most of whom were not armoured and had no horses to ride, just light infantry, a rabble that the cavalry could break up with a single charge. So a head can't be exchanged for a few dollars, and the battle has been fought so far, everyone has come to their senses, and they don't talk about money.

Those Hexi soldiers who "joined the party" all looked forward to going to India as a powerful master, and the soldiers of the Great Sect also had land in the Hexi Corridor to be rewarded. Although the land in Hexi is not valuable, it can't hold up the quantity. When this battle is over, they will all be big landlords!

"How many days are left before Lake Kara?" Zhang Yuan sent the horseman, and then turned his head to ask Ma Zheng and Zhao Zhongshun.

"There are still three days," Ma Zheng thought for a moment, "the elite of the thieves may have arrived." ”

"Can they rest the three of them at Lake Kara?" Zhang Yuan frowned, "Shall we hurry up?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Zhongshun interjected, "You don't have to ...... now Just follow the brigade of thieves, they go slowly, we chase slowly, and we can't let them disperse before crossing the Alai Pass. ”

"That's right, this is a dead Jedi, and it's too easy to kill all these old and weak captives...... Just scatter it with cavalry! But in this way, we will have a group of rabbles that can be driven. ”

"Driven rabble?" Zhang Yuan was stunned, he understood what Zhang Yuan and Zhao Zhongshun were talking about? The two of them want to drive the rabble of the Turks to take the lead!

This kind of tactic that damages yin morality has never been seen in the war books......

"Great Teaching, we can't have the kindness of a woman!" Zhao Zhongshun looked at Zhang Yuan, thinking that this guy's conscience had been discovered, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's okay, it's okay...... Ci is not in charge of the army! "Where is Zhang Yuan, who is the person who knows the kindness of a woman? He and Ji Yi are the best, they gather like things, the two of them naturally smell like each other, and they are both unkind and unrighteous Confucians.

Ma Zheng said with a smile: "Actually, Aslan Khan brought them to Green Ridge, so he didn't want them to leave alive...... If there is anyone who is unkind, it is the Aslan Khan. ”

"Yes, we can save a little bit, and following Aslan Khan is a dead end!" Zhao Zhongshun also talked nonsense seriously.

"I've got to save some." Zhang Yuan thought so, "They are also the people of our Huaxia, but they are just coerced by thieves." After the battle of Karahu, collect the surviving people and take them to Tianzhu. ”

……

"Khan, ahead is the Alai Pass!"

The East Tajik guide who led the way just pointed to the open mountain pass in front of him tremblingly, and said to Aslan Khan behind him in a trembling voice.

There are also inhabitants in the mountains, and they are called Tajiks, also known as Selkuls. The former is what the Turks who converted to the Celestial Religion called them, and the latter is what the Persians called them. This race is said to have been bred by the intermarriage between the "Japanese people" and the Han Chinese, but they are similar in appearance and language to the Persians. In the early years, he also established a state of Shupantuo, which was once a very powerful Buddhist country, and was later destroyed by Tibet. Now it is attached to the Qarakhanid Dynasty, and most of the people have converted to Tianfang, but the conversion time is not long, only a few decades.

Unexpectedly, the Qarakhanid Dynasty, which originally called itself Taohuashi Khan and represented China in the Western Regions, has now come to the time of the country.

And the real army of the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom is now following behind the fleeing Qarakhanids...... The Stone City (the hometown of the Tang Dynasty's Green Ridge Guard), where the East Tajiks live in the Stone City (the hometown of the Tang Dynasty's Green Ridge Guard), is likely to have been recovered by the Shangtaohuashi people!

I don't know if those authentic Taohuashi people will hold the Eastern Tajiks accountable for their faults in serving the Qarakhanid Dynasty?

Aslan Khan sat upright on his horse, looking at the land in front of him, which still belonged to him, and his heart was full of emotion.

Not only did he now lose the country, but he also had to hand over most of his subjects to Sanjar to use as a meat shield.

I don't know how many people will be left in the end to follow him to open up Tianzhu's country?

However, he did not dare to rebel against Emir Sanjar, who had 13,000 Ghulam warriors at his disposal, and he now had less than 800 Ghulam fighters. The difference in strength between the two sides is too big! If you want to get up on fire, you will be dead.

There was a sound of horses' hooves. Aslan Khan looked back and saw that it was Sanjar, who was under the protection of his Ghulam guards, and a panting horse had caught up from behind. In the past few days, Sanjar has been supervising the battle behind with 2,000 Ghulam warriors - the target of the supervision is the so-called militia, in fact, the common people of the Qarakhanid Dynasty who fled from Kashgar with Aslan Khan, and they are also the old and weak among them. The sturdy ones with a little combat effectiveness are now incorporated into the army of the Qarakhanid Dynasty...... They will be used to lead the battle later in the decisive battle.

According to Sanjar's plan, the key to the decisive battle at Karahu was to drain the opponent's physical strength. The air on the green mountain is thin, and there is a lot of strength at the bottom of the mountain, and it is two or three points at most when you go up the mountain. So no matter how strong the men are, they can't fight for a few battles, as long as their strength is exhausted, no matter how much these Han people can fight, it's useless.

Sanjar walked back to the Green Ridge twice, and was tormented in Kashgar City for two months, now he looks black and thin, his lips are full of gaps, but his spirit is good, looking at the wide mountain pass in front of him, he stroked his palms and smiled: "Ahmad, this is the battlefield where we defeated the Peach Blossom Stone Army." ”

Aslan Khan sighed: "It's a pity that you can't go back to Kashgar even if you win......"

Sanjar glanced at Aslan Khan and said with a smile: "Isn't it good to go to Kashgar and India?" The Baltic kingdom is vulnerable, and if it weren't for those damned crusaders, I would have led my troops to conquer it a long time ago. It doesn't matter if there are few people, with tens of thousands of warriors, it is enough to conquer the Polo dynasty...... When the time comes, as long as they burn their Buddhist temples and kill all their monks, the people of the Bala Kingdom will fall under the banner of Allah. ”

Still scamming...... Aslan Khan sneered in his heart, he didn't believe that the Buddhists were so easy to deal with!

But Sanjar wasn't lying this time, because Buddhists in India are different from elsewhere...... Because of the struggle between Buddhism and Hinduism, they were easily conquered by any foreign religion, including Celestial Buddhism. This is because Hindus do not allow Buddhists to eat "turning grass" – Buddhism is a religion that split from Hinduism, so Buddhists can also be seen as "detached" from Hindu heresy and lose their caste and become untouchables if they want to return.

So the Kingdom of Polo is a particularly easy object to conquer!

Aslan Khan sighed lightly: "Emir, since this is a battlefield, then please arrange it...... Need to build fortifications at the Alai Pass? ”

"No," Sanjar shook his head, "now we just need to get some rest...... The temple army left in the rear could probably hold off the enemy for two to three days. Let's hurry up and take a breath in Karahu. ”

Kara Lake is a basin, otherwise it would not be a place where glaciers melt snow, although it is also located on a plateau, but the altitude is lower than the surrounding area, less than 4000 meters, and now it is the best season of the year, the water and grass are abundant, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, just enough for the army to recuperate, so that the cattle, sheep and horses who have been on the road for days are fed.

Therefore, this territory is the only way for the army to pass through the green mountains, and the Turkic-Qarakhanid coalition army, which arrived two or three days early, won valuable rest time.

……

Outside the tent, there was the sound of horses neighing, and the smoke of cooking mixed with the chatter and laughter of the Han soldiers wafted in. Twilight has already merged in the wilderness, shrouded in the river of red water. 70,000 infantry warriors flying the banner of the Great Song Dynasty flaunted their might on the green mountains, forcing the most powerful emir in the West, Sanjar, not to dare to fight a dignified battle. Due to the frequent good news, in the eyes of these elites who are thousands of miles away from home, although the green ridge is high, it cannot stop their soldiers and horses from coming and going freely, and it is the time when morale is the highest.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was carrying his hands behind his back, taking Ma Zheng and a cadre of guards, wandering around the camps. It is said to be a camp, but in fact, it is a tent set up along the Hongshui River. Only at the forefront, close to the enemy, was set up in a formation of vehicles blocking the way.

This level of management is certainly unqualified to be placed under the plateau. However, above 4,000 meters above sea level, it is more important to maintain the physical strength of the warrior than anything else. Moreover, the hard probe has already been scattered, and the enemy's desire to surrender is simply a dream.

"Can we engage tomorrow?" While inspecting the rest of the troops, Zhang Yuan asked questions. "We're walking a lot slower...... Sanjar and Aslan Khan had at least four days of rest in Karahu, right? ”

"It's almost four days, but it doesn't matter, we're not tired all the way, starting tomorrow, we can fight with all our might!" Ma Zheng smiled, "And there are at least 100,000 Qarakhanid people in front of us...... They are about to escape! ”
