A lonely city of thousands of miles is full of white-haired soldiers. It was a Han family and a Tang army in his life.

Decades ago, Guo Xin, the escort of Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, led the last Tang army and entered the final decisive battle with the Tubo soldiers in Kucha City. This battle almost collapsed the 100,000 Tubo army. However, the Tang army guarding the city did not wait for the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty they expected, and eventually the entire army was destroyed in Kucha. At this point, the last flag of the Tang Dynasty also fell in the Western Regions.

Now, the Tang Dynasty is back.

A bright red new flag appeared on the horizon, and then a war horse jumped out and rushed over. Behind him, the black cavalry appeared.

About two miles away from Kucha City, the first rider suddenly pulled his horse, and the war horse under his crotch stood up. Two hooves of the size of a bowl fell heavily, and with a thud, they fell to the ground, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

On the war horse, Tang Ji stood with a sword, looking at Kucha City in the distance, unable to help but cry like rain.

"Prince Guo, Tang Ji is back."

"Dear grandpas, uncles, Tang Ji is back!"

He looked up to the sky and roared loudly.

Behind him, thousands of cavalry stood up, raised their spears and swords in their hands together, shouting and echoing Tang Ji's roar.

"The Tang Dynasty is back."

"The Tang Dynasty is back!"

The shouts shook the fields, and the dark clouds shrouded above their heads seemed to be frightened by the earth-shaking roars. As the wind scattered, the sun suddenly shone down and shone on the thousands of soldiers.

Behind the cavalry, more troops came overwhelmed. Behind the cavalry, they set up a formation, and as a large flag with Xue raised up, hundreds of war drums were beating at the same time, and hundreds of ox horns were also accompanied by the sound of war drums, blowing a long and tragic battle horn.

Xue Ping put on his purple robe and surrounded by dozens of kings and powerful kings who were in charge of the Western Regions. Today's last battle was completed by the Tang army headquarters, not only to complete the symbolic battle of the Tang Dynasty's complete recapture of the Western Regions, but also to fulfill Tang Ji's long-standing wish, but also to demonstrate, to rebuild the invincible reputation of the Tang army.

The Tang Dynasty has been away from the Western Regions for decades, but it is just that this ferocious King of Beasts is sick. Now, the King of Beasts has recovered and has awakened, and he has returned from the king. When he wakes up, no force in this world can stand straight in front of him.

Xue Ping is well aware of Li Ze’s long-term strategy for the Western Regions.

The first point is to re-enter.

The second step is to rebuild the pressure, establish a state of guise in places directly occupied by the Tang army or destroyed by the Tang army, and establish a state of guise in countries that surrender and show good news.

The third step is to conduct comprehensive infiltration and invasion of commerce, culture, etc.

The fourth step is to completely complete the transformation of land and return to the current. The Tang Dynasty court must establish a direct management system here and formally incorporate the entire Western Regions into the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, the first and second steps have been completed in basic steps, and the third step is almost fully launched at the same time. Of course, the first and second steps are easy to complete with the power of the Tang Dynasty today, while the third step requires a long period of precipitation. The reason for this is that Li Ze wants to do all this at the lowest cost to avoid the entire Western Regions falling into long-term chaos.

Xue Ping didn't know when he could complete the fourth step, but he knew very well that as long as the third step went smoothly, it would be a matter of time.

A response drums and horns sounded above the head of Kucha in the distance. Then, a cavalry rang out from the rear of Kucha and rushed towards the main cavalry formation where Tang Ji was.

Tang Ji raised the big knife in his hand, looked behind him, and shouted loudly: "For the people!"

"Have peace!"

Thousands of knights shouted in unison, then clamped the horse under their crotch and rushed straight ahead with Tang Ji.

Xue Ping took a deep breath and looked back: "Everyone, let's see how my Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty defeated the enemy!"

In Kucha City, the Tubo people gathered almost all the Tubo people in the Western Regions in the last city, and were led by the Tocharian family Xiwen.

Siwen, who was over 50 years old, also personally participated in the siege of Kucha and witnessed the extremely tragic war. Decades have passed, and the young officers of that time have now become the supreme ruler of the Tubo people in the Western Regions. The world has become the world's turn, and now it is his turn to become the besieged.

Standing on the city to supervise the battle, he didn't know if he remembered the past and how he was feeling!

Tang Ji felt his blood burning!

The war horse under his crotch was walking like a wind, and the strong wind coming towards him blew his red cloak backwards. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the Tubo cavalry that were getting closer and closer to each other. In the sky farther away, he seemed to see white-haired veterans holding heavy swords and cutting down hard towards the enemy. He seemed to see blood-stained faces, staring at him with a smile. He seemed to hear reminders and instructions.

Aji, go back alive, and bring our cavalry back.

Aji, if we are gone when you come back, don't forget to burn some paper money for us.

Aji, there is also wine, don’t forget to bring a pot of good wine.

Aji, don't forget to bring our bones home.

His eyes gradually turned bloody.

A buzzing sound came from behind him, and the running Tang cavalry shot out the crossbow in their hands. The black crossbow arrows crossed Tang Ji, shot into the air ahead, and then turned around and fell down.

The well-trained cavalry calculated their time accurately. When these crossbows fell, they were in the middle of the Tubo cavalry.

Screams and horse neighing sounded instantly across the battlefield. In an instant, a large gap appeared in the middle of the Tubo cavalry. Countless people turned over and fell off the horse, leaving only empty war horses, still charging with the brigade.

On the other hand, the arrow rain of the Tubo cavalry caused extremely limited damage to the Tang army. This is not only because the armor of the Tang army is better, but also because the cavalry bows used by the Tubo cavalry are all soft bows, which is difficult to cause real damage to the iron armor of the Tang cavalry.

Tang Ji exhaled and heard a sound, and the slashing saber in his hand swept down diagonally. With a light sound, the gun rod in the Tubo general's hand broke in response to the sound, and then his head flew up.

Tang Ji was like a crazy beast, rushing into the dense Tubo cavalry.

The hedging of tens of thousands of cavalrymen is not very sensory to the parties, because they will always only see the enemy they face, life or death, which is a matter of moment, but for the spectator, it is an extremely terrifying thing.

The whole earth seemed to be trembling.

In less than a cup of tea, two huge cavalry teams interlaced, and above the battlefield left in the middle, there were densely packed with corpses of people and horses.

Tang Ji, covered in blood, roared to the sky and suddenly turned his horse's head. As he turned around, the cavalry behind him all gave the horses to both sides. From the passage, Tang Ji launched a charge again, and Tang cavalry followed him again and turned around and came to fight.

Under the banner of Xue in the distance, Xue Ping, who was originally a little nervous, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the first round, and the most cruel round of hedging, the one who won was Tang Ji's Tang Army.

When the two armies hedged, the Tang army lost about hundreds of cavalry, while the Tubo cavalry paid almost twice as much as possible. Another round of hedging, the cavalry war will probably end.

This is the last cavalry of Siwen, and it is also the last essence of the Tubo people in the Western Regions. When the lonely decisive battle of these cavalry failed, the war will enter the next stage, siege and defense.

"Everyone, how about my Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty?" Xue Ping looked around with a proud look and asked with a smile.

The kings and powerful people around him who were in charge of the country had long been dissatisfied.

Among them, the most powerful one can only gather more than a thousand cavalry and thousands of people, while the weakest one can only control hundreds of miles of land and raise all the soldiers from the whole country, but only thousands of them.

This is not as good as those who just died on the court in this cavalry battle!

The battle between the two giants is far beyond what they, those with small arms and calves, can imagine.

Amidst the flattery, the second round of hedging was completed in an instant, and the facts were not expected by Xue Ping. The remaining Tubo cavalrymen who were riding under him never turned back after the hedge, and they still rode their horses to escape far away, while the Tang cavalry followed them and chased them reluctantly.

Xue Ping waved his hand, and the sound of drums and trumpets started to move forward slowly. While the cavalry began to fight, more baggage soldiers unloaded countless objects from the carriages behind the infantry and began to assemble them nervously.

When the cavalry battle ended, one by one, one behemoth had already been assembled in their hands, and large siege vehicles, siege platforms, and large trenchers stood up one after another.

The left army Li Hai and the right army Peng Shuangmu began to move forward slowly at the same time.

After the three-way drum, the infantry had approached within five hundred steps of Kucha City. They paused and began to reorganize the formation amid the officer's roar, while the catapult car was still moving forward slowly.

A black stone bullet appeared in the sky. The catapults above the city were starting to shoot. Stones as big as sieves hit the ground heavily, smashing the ground into deep pits.

If the Tang army's baggage soldiers were gone, they stopped for 400 steps. Here they had reached the edge of the attack of the stone catapult above the city.

With a big thump, the catapult was firmly fixed to the ground by steel brazings as thick as arms. Immediately, a catapult's long throwing arm suddenly raised, and a stone bullet flew out with a whistling sound, hitting a few steps before the city wall.

"Adjust the equipment and measure the distance again!" the officer roared.
Chapter completed!
