The Hexi Corridor used to be the hometown of the Dayue people, but unfortunately, they left Central Asia for too long, so that they forgot the appearance of their hometown, so that the terrain here became the advantage of the Tang Dynasty, when Hou Jun set up the battle of Gaochang, the king of Gaochang Ju Wentai wanted to use this sand moraine to block the Tang army, but under the leadership of the Turkic general Qi Bi He Li, who was familiar with the terrain, he easily found the water source and hit the moraine city, thus destroying the Gaochang country in one fell swoop.

This time, the strategy of the Tang army is not only to disperse the ranks of these barbarian armies, but also to imitate the classic work of Wu Anjun Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping, the Qin and Zhao Wars of that year, Zhao Kuo, the commander of Zhao State, is also like the Vikings, White Huns, Tocharo, and Bailan people rashly attacked, but was cut off by the Qin army's light soldiers of 5,000 Baibi to return to the road, the Zhao army was starved for 46 days, Zhao Kuo attacked desperately six times, he was all killed, 450,000 Zhao troops were either killed in battle, or killed by Bai Qikeng, and the vitality of Zhao was greatly injured.

Now the eldest grandson Wuji plays the role of this Qin army's light soldiers of 5,000, the Tang army has a secret camp in the Qilian Mountains, and the eldest grandson Wuji personally led 30,000 elite soldiers from Luoyang to ambush in the mountains, day and night, and does not contact the big battalion, only agreed on the date, when the day comes, no matter how dangerous, it must attack!

The fierceness of the eldest grandson Wuji was also shown, and he didn't care about the main force of the Tang Army in the east, and after contacting the secret agents who had been ambushed in the city earlier with a bonfire, he conquered this important passage between the Turpan Basin and Zhangye County in one fell swoop, which was regarded as cutting off the return route of more than 400,000 barbarian troops heading east to the moraine.

Although the nomads have always been good at mobile warfare, such as Genghis Khan, the 200,000 Mongolian army swept across the entire Eurasian continent almost without logistics, relying on the support of mobile tribes, but this time in order to pursue speed, most of the tribes of all ethnic groups were left behind in the west of the moraine, and the moraine is a desert, water and grass do not grow, and the only few dark rivers are still occupied by the Tang army, which can not support the nomads' huge livestock herd to reproduce.

In addition to the moraine, the recent way back also has to take a detour for a few months, and it has to go over the mountains and mountains, the barbarians trapped in the sand moraine can't hold out for so many days, if the eldest grandson Wuji can be nailed like a nail in this moraine mouth The ancient city also holds on for forty-six days, and even without the Tang army to attack again, those barbarians of all ethnic groups will have to die of thirst in the desert.

Whether you can play the battle of Changping in the Tang Dynasty depends on the eldest grandson Wuji!

But the danger of the eldest grandson Wuji is also great, breaking away from the main force, raiding the rear of the enemy alone, once the front line is not effective, Li Zhi can take the big guy to pat his ass and flee to Liangzhou, he has nowhere to escape, and Sun Tzu's Art of War once said that the master should not be stopped, talking about what kind of terrifying combat power the enemy who fled back to China, and the Franks, Ding Lingren, Gaoche people, Slavs, Saxons and other barbarians in the West will definitely not sit back and watch their allies be annihilated by the Tang Army, sandwiched between nearly a million people on both sides, Even if the 30,000 people in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji are all Heluo elite soldiers, they are still in danger.

For this reason, Li Zhi also invested in the blood, in the southern Huozhou, Li Zhi's most elite Beiya forbidden army of 50,000 people led by the clan general Li Qi, Li Zhi's most trusted eunuch Li Fuguo for the Guanjun Rong envoy to supervise the army, the same agreed day to quickly march north, 80,000 Tang army elite will form an impermeable copper wall, completely suffocate the 400,000 Hulu army on the East Road.

Shouldering such a heavy responsibility, the eldest grandson Wuji naturally did not dare to slack off, after the Tang Linde conquered the city on the night of July 22 in the second year, he immediately arranged the army and actively began to prepare for war, although the hands and feet were very clean tonight, and none of the two thousand Bavarian barbarians escaped alive, but after all, it was the main road of east-west transportation, and it was estimated that within two days, the news of the fall of the moraine would be known to the eastern and western barbarians, so the time for the eldest grandson Wuji to prepare for the war was only two days.

For the sake of Emperor Gaozong, the eldest grandson Wuji is really open, among the 30,000 Heluo elite soldiers, the clan soldiers of the eldest grandson clan are no less than 1,000, and seven of the twelve sons of the eldest grandson Wuji are on this battlefield at this time, if this battle is lost, the eldest grandson can also be regarded as defeated, so no matter what, the eldest grandson Wuji can't afford to lose.

"Quick! Dig fast! ”

The second son of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the more accomplished Changshui of the eldest grandson's family, Changsun Huan personally commanded the soldiers to hoe outside the city, and the trenches began to wrap out like a wheat field circle, and the moraine city was too small to hold more than 30,000 troops, and to completely cut off the connection between the moraine and the Turpan Basin, it was necessary to cut off the passage between the two mountains.

Standing on the short city wall of Mokou City, looking at the huge and noisy construction site in the night with a telescope, the face of the eldest grandson Wuji revealed a haze.

The principle of trench warfare was invented by Li Jie, who was then titled King Shuo, in the Goguryeo War and the Battle of Huashan.

The tumult continued throughout the night, and it was not until 10 a.m. on the second day that the soldiers tried to flatten the fill of the trench with shovels, and the pass, which seemed to be a kilometer wide, did not seem to have changed much except for a little higher, and even the farmland of the village community on the edge of the city seemed intact.

No one thought that the thrilling offensive and defensive battle of the moraine would unfold so quickly.

At noon the next day, a huge horse team came out from the Turpan Basin, which was the supply team of the White Huns, more than 700 people escorted more than 2,000 cattle, horses and camels, carrying the grain looted from the Western Regions and the dried meat and cheese produced by the tribe, to supply the army of the people fighting in the moraine.

Unaware that almost all the men of his tribe had died in the nameless sand valley, the horse team crashed headlong into the trench circle of the Eldest Sun Wuji's army.

This contact was a shock to both sides.

Last night was too tired, it was a siege and a trench, the Tang army guarding the western section of the trench was all lying at the bottom of the ditch and fell asleep, even the scouts were lying in the monitoring pit and sleeping soundly, and the White Huns did not know that the city of Mokou had fallen and swaggered to the edge of the trench circle, except for frowning and scolding two strange Western ghosts, they did not think much about it, ignoring the Tang army who was lying in the trench and sleeping on the gray face, and actually found a way to build a bridge by themselves, and drove the supply horse team from the trench.

If it weren't for the fact that he walked to the middle of the trench, a Ningxian soldier who was in a hurry, maybe this supply team would have passed in such a big way, seeing that the Ningxian soldier jumped out of the trench and ran into a special trench to untie his belt and release water, the black hair blown by the wind, and the white Hun slave soldier in the middle of a horse team pointed at him excitedly and shouted.

"It's a Tang man! We're rich! ”

The voice woke up a large area at once, and then the white Hun slave soldier found out that he had made a fortune! There are Tang people in front of and behind, left and right!

…………

Although he had 2,000 camels of supplies, Changsun Wuji was not happy at all, because more than 100 White Huns at the end of the team still ran away, which meant that the enemy army had discovered his troops earlier, and had less time for digging fortifications and defense, and the Tang army's vigilance made Changsun Wuji angry.

Despite the lack of manpower, the eldest grandson Wuji did not hesitate to order a hundred scouts and the captain in charge of the guard to be beheaded, this is war, the slightest carelessness will cause tens of thousands of soldiers to lose their lives, and the whole army must be vigilant.

And through the interrogation of the captives, the eldest grandson Wuji was even more deeply disturbed, a few months ago, the special envoy of the Min and Tang Dynasties, Wang Xuance said, Li Jie had arrived at Qiuci with 400,000 Fujian troops under his command, but more than 100 White Hun soldiers said that they had not seen any Min army at all, and the main force of the Min State had stopped when they arrived at the northernmost Jiling City in the Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate, and did not continue to attack the Western Regions to the east, and the war to invade the entire Western Regions was completely fought by these migratory peoples.

The unknown is the worst enemy! Until now, Li Jie's main strategic intentions could not be figured out, and the eldest grandson Wuji was deeply uneasy.

The only valuable information provided by these captives was that there were merchants in the West who paid a lot of money to buy captured Tang prisoners of war or civilians, and one person could change into a good armor collar or ten steel knives, which was similar to Li Jie's style of consolidating his rule without immigrants.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji could not think too much, and before evening, the White Huns who had been robbed of the supplies came to the door again, and about 3,000 White Hun cavalry rushed to the city of Mokou with great momentum, and used their unique Altaic language to the Tang army in the trench and did not know what to swear.

"What are they talking about?" Pointing to the chaotic White Hun cavalry, the eldest grandson Wuji asked a Sogdian soldier under his command.

Since the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there have been a large number of Sogdians who have come to China for business, and they have become the ancestors of China's surname An and Kang, and the Sogdians who have traveled through the long Silk Road in business are almost the best international translators of this era, and after listening attentively for a moment, the Sogdian soldier replied respectfully with his fists: "The person who came said that he was the Great Su Tu of the White Huns, and asked the Frankish Duke of Bavaria, Charles Hemeren, to hand over the materials that had robbed them of the White Huns, otherwise they would start a war with their Franks!"

These words made the eldest grandson Wuji's heart move suddenly, the enemy did not know his existence, if he used this, he might be able to provoke internal strife between the White Huns and the Franks.

The old fox's eyes were dripping, but before the eldest grandson Wuji could think about the plan clearly, he shouted at the edge of the ditch in the west, the bowstring trembled, and the Hu Qi who was scolding in the front in the distance fell off his horse.

This is like stabbing a hornet's nest, the Central Asian Hu people are already irritable, not to mention the recent slaughter and looting in the Western Regions, but seeing that the white Huns slaughtered like thunder wielding a scimitar and screaming, scolding for a while of incomprehensible nonsense, more than 3,000 white Huns jerked their horses, and the momentum was like a trench rushing over.

After being scolded, the Tang army in the outer trench was also whipped a few times by the military law, and it was the time to be annoyed, and when he saw this, he immediately put all the strong crossbows on the edge of the trench, and a burst of crossbow arrows fired, and the current White Huns fell three or four hundred cavalry.

The military proverb of the ancients is only three arrows in battle, and three arrows are not more than one arrow! It is said that in the short time before the charge of the army, only three rounds of bows and arrows or one round of crossbow arrows can be fired, and the enemy will be killed, the crossbow is strong, the shooting is accurate, and the lethality is large, and the bow and arrow in the trench battle can not pull the string, but the crossbow arrow can shoot calmly, the only drawback is that the rate of fire is too slow, the white Huns are also brave, despite the heavy losses, they still rushed up, but rushed to the edge of the trench, these elite cavalry were dumbfounded.

The trench is too low, even if they lower their bodies, the scimitar can't cut the head of the Tang people, just when they are stunned, the Tang army on the edge of the trench has thrown the bow and crossbow in their hands, and stabbed it upwards with a spear, but for a while they saw the spear flying, the White Huns were stabbed to death in front of the trench with people and horses, and the remaining White Huns finally collapsed, screaming loudly and fleeing backwards in a hurry.

After only one round of charge, the remnants of the White Huns did not continue to attack, and dispersed to the Turpan Basin in a puff of smoke.

Seeing that the former battalion general, the clan general Li Xiaoyi proudly asked for credit, but the eldest grandson Wuji was bitter in his mouth, even if he couldn't understand the White Huns, but he still could distinguish the strange and bad Tang words, this is good, in the end, he was still exposed.

But fortunately, the defensive power of the trench battle is quite satisfactory to him, as long as he waits until the Beiya Forbidden Army arrives, Changsun Wuji is confident that he will hold on to this place for more than half a year.

Thinking about it, the next time the eldest grandson Wuji looked at his old pupils to the southeast, the Huozhou in the southeast of the moraine was not far from the moraine, if there was no accident, the reinforcements from Huozhou would arrive from tonight to tomorrow morning.

However, on the battlefield, I am afraid of this accident! Because of the accident, Li Guang lost the deadline, and buried the last opportunity to be a marquis, Li Ling was alone in the desert, 5,000 Han warriors and 120,000 Xiongnu Shan Yu army fought for more than ten days, and finally lost, and the eldest grandson Wuji relied on the Beiya forbidden army for his life, also had some accidents.

Five hundred and twenty miles southeast of the moraine, an oasis in this yellow sand is particularly green, here used to be the Silk Road must pass through, merchants every seven or eight days of trekking, can take a break here, so this place is also called the oasis of sleep.

However, at this time, the tranquility of the Sleeping Oasis was broken, and the Ding Ling camp entrenched here turned into a sea of fire, and the Tang Army soldiers who were surging back rushed to kill these Hulu barbarians, and they were very happy to fight with these people who dared to offend our Huaxia.

I never imagined that the Tang army would suddenly counterattack, and the counterattack was so fierce that the Ding Ling clan, which was less than 5,000 people, was completely stunned, and after paying thousands of casualties, these Hu clans cried and threw away everything they had robbed, and fled frantically to the west on their war horses.

Gao Kan, who had been fighting for two days in a row, was still as imposing as a tiger, and he didn't want to let them escape at all, so he personally led the Tang army to ride thousands of people and chased them closely.

However, before chasing out a few miles, in the vast sea of sand in the west, a huge army was faintly exposed, and Gao Kan was suddenly startled, and immediately ordered to stop the horse and be on guard.

took out the telescope given by the emperor and looked at it for a moment, but Gao Kan couldn't help but show a puzzled look.

"How can there be such a large Tang army here?"
