Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 402 The battle situation has been decided
"Of course you can. Since it's been half a year, you can arrange it according to your own circumstances. All of them are innocent people. When they are settled in the future, they will be arranged by the emperor." Li Ji nodded in agreement. They are all children of good families, so it is natural to use them. rest assured.

After defeating Khotan, Feng Daiwen immediately began to divide his troops. With 5 people as a team, he combined infantry and cavalry to form two partial divisions to attack the small country. Duan Zhixuan led the remaining troops to attack.

Then let Yanqi and 2 people from Kucha go to assist Su Dingfang in attacking Shule.

At the same time, Che Shi, Dawan, Xiaowan, Wusun, and Dayue raised troops at the same time and attacked the nearby cities. For a time, the entire Western Region was in chaos, and cities were breached every day.

Several small countries have received some support from Feng Daiwen, and sold them the scrap iron seized last year at a low price. Although it is scrap copper and iron in Feng Daiwen's eyes, they can still equip a large number of soldiers, which is much better than the hostile countries. , so from the beginning of the war, they had the upper hand and continued to gain victories.

The morale is even higher now, because there was an agreement before, whoever beats it will be the one.

Because Datang launched an attack from the other side, they didn't have to worry about the safety of their hometown, so these small countries frantically recruited troops and attacked the surrounding areas.

Now all the countries in the Western Regions already know that the Tang Dynasty is invading, but there is no way to do it.

But in the face of absolute strength, everything is futile. Once more people gather, Datang will call for reinforcements and gather one or two armies to attack together.

If it is a strong city, then the artillery will serve it, and all struggles will be futile in front of hot weapons. There is no other way but to be blown up and down.

If it weren't for the fact that there were not many bombs made, Feng Daiwen would even want to bomb all the way to push the area to the extreme.

The battle at the front was going smoothly, and the rear was busy receiving and managing it. Feng Daiwen and Li Ji split up and came here.

Nearly a thousand young people were assigned to manage counties and counties, surrounded by hundreds of Turkic soldiers, and hundreds to a thousand Japanese slave death squads were used as minions to constantly clean up nobles and officials.

Then promote the obedient people to be small officials, count the number of people, make reasonable plans, arrange villages, and land, not like before.

After planning, basically rely on cities and oases to reclaim farmland and grow food.

With the continuous supply of food from the Central Plains as the logistics, there is no need to worry about the future at all. The attacking troops have food and drink, and attack hard, and there is enough food in the rear for immigration and relocation.

What's more, several countries were destroyed and a large amount of property was confiscated. The only regret is that no matter which country it is, there is not much food, and it still has to rely on the Central Plains in a short period of time, so it cannot be self-sufficient.

On the fourth day of May in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Su Dingfang, An Yuanshou, Li Deju, and Hou Lei defeated Ruoqiang and Ruoqiang, and then destroyed Huhu and Shan.

On the eighth day of May, Wei Chi Baolin, Feng Daihuo, and Liu Renshi attacked Ronglu and broke through in one day. On the tenth day of the month, Pomi was broken, Qule was broken on the twelfth day, and Pishan was broken on the fifteenth day, and the four countries were destroyed in seventeen days.

From the seventh day of May to the eighteenth day of June, Qibi Heli, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chuliang broke through the six states of Xiye, Puli, Yinai, Shache, Weitou, and Wensu.

On May [-]th, because the cannons slowed down the journey, Duan Zhiyuan, Xi Junmai, Wang Xuance, and others arrived at Loulan a few days later. Loulan City resisted desperately. The whole city resisted.

The army fell into street fighting, and it took three full days for [-] troops to completely occupy Loulan. There were more than [-] soldiers and civilians in Loulan, and only [-] women and children survived.

Datang lost 2000 casualties, Duan Zhixuan didn't want to leave seeds of revenge, and ordered the Japanese slave death squads to kill more than [-] people.

Duan Zhixuan, who was in a bad mood, then attacked Weitou country violently, killing most of them, and then frightened the five countries of Wensu, Yuli, Gumo, Beilu, and Wutanzi to gather together to resist.

Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to recruit Su Dingfang, Qibi Heli and two groups of troops to attack for three days before they were able to attack. Fortunately, the more than 2 defenders killed this time were all soldiers, and there were not many civilian casualties.

Datang triumphantly advances all the way, scared Zi, Beilu Houguo, Shanhuan, Pulei, and Puleihouguo to abandon the city and flee, leading the whole clan to the cold north.

At the same time, Dawan, Wusun and other countries had fought hard for several months, and the war ended in mid-October. They also defeated five countries including Anxi, Kangju, Haokand, Kanjuti, and Wuyishan, and occupied a lot of territory. All the nine surnames retreated into Guishuang.

According to the agreement, the two sides took the Congling Ridge as the boundary, to the east, all belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and to the north, there was a small piece of desert separated from Dayue. At this point, the war in the Western Regions came to an end.

While Feng Daiwen passed on the good news, he arranged to build a defense in Congling. A cannon port was built in Congling. Twenty cannons blocked the road from Central Asia, and there will be many more in the future.

The desert on the border with Dayue is also intended to build a military city. From then on, east of Congling, in Wuhe Country, when the peninsula is wiped out in the future, the Tubo and Tang military defense lines will appear.

Duan Zhixuan and Xue Rengui are temporarily guarding Congling, and the new city under construction is Su Dingfang and Cheng Chuliang.

The rest of the personnel did not withdraw their troops either. Taking advantage of the last good weather, they led troops to clean up the entire area occupied by Datang. All the horse thieves and bandits were arrested and reformed through labor.

The thorns of the saplings planted in spring have become lush and green. I believe that in a few years, the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions will gradually decrease, and the desert will not expand like later generations.

At least under the governance of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions Road will not cut down randomly. Feng Daiwen issued an order that the Western Regions Road must not cut down trees at will, and must be approved by the government. If one tree is cut, ten trees must be planted.

Cleared more than ten small countries, more than 30 cottages, five horse thieves, seized gold, silver, jewelry, jade and other property and piled up more than 700 carriages, escorted by Li Ke with Long Yuzhu, and Xi Junmai with [-] elite soldiers The escort was being transported to Chang'an in a mighty way, accompanied by the kings, concubines, and ministers of these small countries. Li Chunfeng also followed, and wanted to go back to make cannons for Li Shimin.

"Refreshing!" Li Ji exhaled refreshedly as he sent Li Ke and the others away, looking at a large group of dejected kings and ministers of small countries in the Western Regions.

"That is, after half a year of fighting, such a result can be achieved. It is really worth celebrating." Feng Daiwen was shocked and said with a smile.

"Winter is coming, Weiguo can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Li Ji looked at Feng Daiwen who hadn't rested for many days, and expressed relief.
