With the Central Asian horse bandit leader......

Well, the order of Hou Yangfeng, the champion of the Great Tang River, was issued, and a team of messengers immediately rushed out of Broken Leaf City and rushed towards the vast grassland.

Run to the Ellie Valley.

Run to the sea of Yiso.

Run to the foot of the Golden Mountain.

……

They held high the dragon hugging the sun and the moon......

This is the military flag of the Broken Leaf Army, at this time the army flags are varied, but none of them are military flags in the real sense, Yang Feng simply used the dragon hugging the sun and moon flag as the military flag, after all, he used this kind of flag in his habits, and the army's signal transmission was replaced by a special signal flag, and the flag language was also written by him, and even Li Siye and Zhao Chongyu began to use his signal flag and flag language.

The messenger holding high the dragon and the sun and moon flag galloped on the vast grassland of the seven rivers.

According to the marks on the map, they arrived at a nomadic tribe everywhere, or the county of the Tang Dynasty, took out the troop transfer talisman they carried, and then matched with the other troops in the hands of the chiefs, or the Taishou county commanders of the Tang Dynasty, and immediately issued Yang Feng's order to them after confirming their identities. When they learned that the Champion Hou had returned to Broken Leaf and would lead the army to the south again, the Taishou county commanders did not hesitate to cheer, and they did not hesitate to send their messengers to the steppes of their hereditary pastoral areas, telling them that the young men of their subjects should come and assemble on their horses, with their own weapons, and even their own dry food.

In this way, as the messengers galloped, more than 20,000 cavalry converged like a stream towards the broken leaves.

Half a month later.

"I, Yang Feng, am back again!"

Yang Feng shouted at the galloping horses in front of him.

At this time, he was standing on the south gate of the newly built Broken Leaf Outer City, and after three years of continuous construction, the entire city defense system of this Xiongcheng that suppressed Central Asia was completely completed.

The first is the moat.

Diverting water from the mountains in the south to pour out a moat five zhang wide around the city, the deepest part of the river is close to one zhang, and it enters the south of the city and flows out from the north of the city and finally joins the Chu River, or the name of the Broken Leaf River on the map of the Tang Dynasty, and the boats on the Broken Leaf River can even go directly to the city.

The second wall of sheep and horses.

On the bank of the inner side of the moat, a wall stretched half a foot high.

The third is the outer city wall.

Four miles from east to west, north and south, the outer city wall with a total length of sixteen miles and a height of three zhang, a city gate in the middle of the east, west, north and south, outside the city gate is Weng City, every thirty zhang on the outside of the city wall, the four corners of the city wall and Ningyuan City have a corner tower similar to a fortress, which is prepared for the future installation of cannons, including the main use of the horse face is actually the use of muskets in the future, and the thirty zhang interval just forms a smoothbore gun cross cover.

The city gate and the corner tower are covered with bricks.

In fact, the entire outer city has to be bricked, but this will take a little longer.

The fourth is the inner wall.

That is, the previous Broken Leaf City, but it has also been heightened, and the height is also three zhang, and there are also corner towers, four gates and castle towers.

And the center of the inner city, is Yang Feng's strategic envoy's mansion, but it has not yet been built, this mansion will be used as the commanding height of the whole city, simply put, it will be completely made of blue bricks and cement to build a fortress, a seven-zhang high fort, from here to any city gate The distance is not more than a thousand meters, just in the direct range of the bronze breech gun. Even if the enemy breaches the outer city in the future, then relying on this fortress and the inner city can still form a complete defense system, and even if the enemy can't break through the outer city, the mortar here can also continue to shoot flowering shells outside the city, and the heavy artillery installed here can be condescending, using the range advantage to destroy all enemies within a radius of three thousand meters.

Of course, this is not for Yang Feng.

This is for future generations, this kind of fortress-level city, which is ready to be used for hundreds of years.

As for him......

Even if there is no city wall, as long as he sits in the city, no foreign enemy will dare to attack.

In fact, the entire Shattered Leaf City is prepared for the future.

At this time, this magnificent majestic city, standing in the field after the snow, against the backdrop of the leaden gray sky obscured by the clouds, the northwest wind blew a banner hunting, the city tower and the corner tower pierced the sky, also in the background of this heroic city, Yang Feng's figure was also as majestic as the city, and on his left and right, the soldiers with bright light armor were arranged like steel walls behind the arrow battlements.

"Meet your lord!"

The nomadic cavalry outside the city fell to their knees.

"Very good, you are all very good, you are all loyal subjects of my Datang, your loyalty will be rewarded with the best, but your return needs to be taken by you, I, take you to get it, I will take you to the big cannibal to get it just like last year, where there are countless women, countless cattle, sheep and horses, countless gold and silver treasures, all waiting for you, so are you willing to follow me?"

Yang Feng roared.

"Yes!"

The nomadic cavalry roared excitedly.

"Very well, then, mount your horses, take your spears and scimitars, and let us go like a torrent that sweeps away everything, and let us go and drown the land of the great cannibals, and let them wail and weep and tremble under the hooves of our horses, and let us be the whips of the gods to whip the sinners fiercely! Go to the legendary garden of milk and honey, decorated with precious stones, be a destroyer, blow the trumpet, beat the drums of war, and kill and destroy, south, south, south! ”

Yang Feng raised his arms and shouted.

"Southern Expedition!"

"Southern Expedition!"

"Southern Expedition!"

……

Both inside and outside the city, both the Han and the Hu were enthusiastically brandishing their swords and spears and roaring wildly.

This is the moment they are most looking forward to.

Then the gates of the city opened, and a sturdy white Andalusian horse rushed out of the gates, and almost at the same time, Yang Dashuai on the city wall jumped down and landed on his horse with unmistakable accuracy, and in the frenzied cheers outside the city, urged the war horse to rush across the wooden bridge over the moat, and behind him a famous man with bright light armor, with an iron mask on his face, and a horse with an iron mask on his crotch, rushed out of the city gate with a horse with a small flag in his hand, and followed their commander to rush to the nomadic cavalry, and galloped past in the latter's bow.

This time, however, there were only 500 mounted cavalry.

But behind these 500 mounted cavalry, more heavy infantry riding war horses without vests, but also wearing a full set of bright light armor appeared.

Yang Feng has enough cannon fodder.

Whether it is the Turgish cavalry, the Sogdians, or the Tocharians, they will act as thugs for him, especially with the addition of the Persians, the Persian king and the governor are changing cities, and they still have 10,000 Persian troops in their hands, which are actually Persian strong men forcibly captured from the interior, and some Zoroastrians who are driven by the desire to turn over and liberate, and then Yang Feng's target is Mashhad, an important town in northern Persia, so naturally the army of the Persian king is the advance of the king's division.

Since this is the case, there is no need to send too many Tang troops, there are not many Han people in the river, and they cannot withstand the continuous war attrition.

Yang Feng is indeed reckless.

But while he brought wealth to the Hu people with military force, he also used war to reduce their population, and each time he won a great victory, these Hu people had to pay tens of thousands of lives.

Wealth does not make up for life.

But he can't weaken his own population.

Especially the veterans at the beginning, these people are very precious, so this time there were only 500 mounted cavalry, and the remaining more than 2,000 followed Li Xiu to stay behind to guard Broken Leaves, but the more than 4,000 recruits, including the Southwest Barbarian soldiers and exiles recruited by Xie Xiong for him, these people went out with him to fight, and tempered them with the blood of the Great Cannibal. By the way, let them go to the battlefield to enrich their wealth, those veterans are all wives and concubines, they are basically a woman with an official match, those veterans have a herd of horses and livestock at home, they have almost no extra wealth of their own, and this is the opportunity to make them as rich as those veterans.

Yang Feng rushed out of Shattered Leaf City with 500 mounted cavalry and 2,000 heavy infantry, followed by 20,000 turquoise cavalry on both sides of the horse, and the torrent of thousands of troops and horses rolled west on the winter snowfield.

As they advanced, the Tang troops who had been ordered from the cities along the way gradually converged, and when they crossed Yongsheng City five days later, all the Tang heavy infantry who participated in the battle followed behind Yang Feng. Immediately after that, this huge army crossed the mountain pass and went straight to Baishui City, and when it arrived at Baishui City, the people of the Shi Kingdom here had already prepared supplies, and even two thousand Shi Guo soldiers joined this army, and then continued to move forward in less than two days to arrive at Tuozhi City, the capital of the Shi Kingdom. The king of Shiguo, who was given the name Li Guiyi because of his meritorious participation in the last war, had already prepared everything, and even the five thousand troops had been assembled and stood by, and then happily welcomed Yang Dashuai into the palace.

Of course, immediately after that, Yang Dashuai told him a news that was not so happy for him.

"Dedication?"

He said with some astonishment.

"A very small piece of land, Your Majesty has sent Princess Huaihua to the river, and decided to build a temple in the river to worship Your Majesty's ancestors, Princess Huaihua because of the belief in the monk, so was sent to preside over this temple, and Talas was given the name Huaihua County by His Majesty, and will be used as the fief of Princess Huaihua in the future, but the place there is too small, so I want to ask His Royal Highness to send this river to this river and then turn to the north of this river to offer, in the future, the south of this line is the territory of Shiguo, and the north of this line is the territory of Princess Huaihua."

Yang Feng said to the map.

A tributary of the Ali River north of Shymkent, rowed west to the main stream of the Ali River, and then south and another tributary to the west turned north to the Kalatau Mountains, so that a sharp triangle to the south was drawn in the territory of Shiguo, and the southernmost part of this triangle had actually stretched out nearly a hundred miles to the plain, directly inserted into the city of Whitewater, that is, the west of the modern Shymkent, and the entire mountain pass area, plus a rich valley in the upper reaches of the Talas River, according to the modern area of about 10,000 square kilometers of land, was divided into the scope of the dedication, and then ......

Then he looked at Li Guiyi and said with a smile: "I wonder if His Highness can cut his love?" ”
