Take the mall to Datang

So with the support of artillery, the casualties of the Xue Yantuo tribe increased again, but at this time the battle was dominated by hand-to-hand combat, and close-up firearms were not suitable.

I don't know exactly how many people from Xue Yantuo's tribe died, but Yi Nan felt that the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer to him.

The battle lasted until dawn the next day. Unfortunately, the elite of Ashina's army went from 4 to no less than a hundred.

14 against 25, winning more with less. The main reason for such a long delay was to introduce the Xueyantuo tribe into the place of death that had been prepared for them. After hours of shelling, the Beiya Imperial Army lost another three artillery pieces.

Basically, there was not much ammunition left, and there were even fewer people left in Xue Yantuo's department. The Tang soldiers launched their final charge just after dawn.

Yuchi Jingde took the lead, like a black-faced killing god, although he was old, he was still strong and strong, and the one holding a horse danced up and down, with extraordinary courage and courage, which was not comparable to ordinary people.

He rushed into Yi Nan's mobile account and captured Yi Nan alive.

Chapter 1014: Xue Yantuo's Extinction

The siege ended on the main battlefield, but Yi Nan's eldest son, Ba Zhuo, took the others away first, without guards by his father's side at all.

Qiao Shiwang, the guerrilla general of Tang Dynasty consort Qiao Shiwang led his men to chase after him, but after killing hundreds of enemies, he still let them run away.

Xue Yantuo's tribe was not only severely damaged, 25 soldiers and horses directly lost nearly 20 people, Yi Nan was captured, and Xue Yantuo's tribe was defeated.

Together with the subordinate Huihe, Bugu and Tongluo tribes, they were all severely damaged in this battle, and the tribes in Mobei were no longer capable of posing a threat to Tang.

After Ashina Simo heard the news, tears flowed down his face. He didn't know whether he was betting right because of himself, or because he was very sad because of the [-] soldiers and horses.

The overall situation has been decided, Ashina Simo also applied to Yuchi Jingde, wanting to continue to lead people to chase to Mobei to wipe out the tens of thousands of people who participated in the extraction.

At that time, I really had the stance that if I knew I was going, I would be able to kill Xue Yantuo's remnants without leaving anything behind.

But this proposal was rejected by Yuchi Jingde, they will have other arrangements for the pursuit of soldiers.

In Shengzhou and Toyozhou in the north, soldiers and horses have been ambushing for a long time, just to prevent fish from slipping through the net. I didn't think that the backup plan that was considered at that time was really used.

But this is not something Yuchi Jingde has to consider, what he has to do now is to escort Yi Nan back to Chang'an, and cleaning the battlefield will take a lot of time, he doesn't need to deal with these things himself.

The urgent letter from Shuozhou to Cangzhou in the eight hundred miles of Cangzhou was sent to Cangzhou in mid-November. After receiving the letter, the riders who had been prepared for a long time quickly passed on the information. One person and two horses did not need to run the whole distance. There were riders to respond, from Cangzhou to Taishan, the riders used the relay to deliver the message, and the speed increased a lot.

The news quickly reached Taishan Li Shimin.

All the ministers knew about the war ahead and were very worried, watching the letter being delivered to Li Shimin.

"Hahaha, Xue Yantuo's tribe, destroy!" Standing on the top of Mount Tai, Li Shimin shouted, his voice echoed in the mountains.

The echo of heaven and earth is extremely domineering.

All the officials bowed to the ground in unison.

"Holy Lord Mingjun, protect my country of Tang!"

As the officials shouted in unison, Taishan Fengchan officially began.

Li Shimin is in a very happy mood. The northern Turks will not be able to threaten the Tang State for at least a hundred years, and the war is not over yet. After he returns to Chang'an, he can still think about whether to take all the land of Mobei into the territory of the Tang State .

Taishan Fengchan, the battle was very big that day, and the whole day of tossing was finally over.

Cangzhou.

Yuan Shan was very relaxed. After Li Shimin arrived in Donghai Prefecture last time, he arranged for many officials. Now he basically doesn't need to worry about it, and everything is going smoothly.

Now what he cares about is the expenses of the Datang Marine Corps. The funds for the fleet have not arrived in time, and now the exclusive military supervision attached to the fleet has begun to grow huge. If it is not timely, it may face a deficit in revenue and expenditure.

But Changsun Wuji is now in Taishan, he can only wait for the person in charge of the treasury to come back, and he also wants to get more expenses for Datang Haibing.

At present, all the sailors are studying the theory of firearms in Cangzhou, and there are also some tactics of warships, etc., which saves a lot of cost.

Insufficient funds, and the construction of the Ordnance Supervision cannot be stopped, so we have to temporarily embezzle the warships to consume funds. The maintenance of the ships can be carried out first, and the expenses can be owed first.

In the harbor office, Yuan Shan stood in front of the window and looked at the harbor. The sea was boundless and the scenery was breathtaking. He thought that he could develop tourism resources by the sea.

Suddenly, the war in the north has ended, and the threat to the north of the Tang Dynasty will be clear, but he wants to see the complete elimination of future troubles, and the key lies in the development of the northeast region.

Think about the Daxing'an Mountains, Heilongjiang, and Heishui, where there are many ethnic minorities. If it cannot be completely resolved, then talking about the development of the Mobei and Monan regions is empty talk.

Yuan Shan thought about it for a while and then put all these things behind him. At present, he will first develop the Central Plains area that can be developed. As for the north, he can only take a step forward.

Others don't know, but he knows very well that the price Tang paid to fight Xue Yantuo this time can be calculated from the consumption of gunpowder.

Naturally, someone will make statistics on these, and the next thing is to meet His Majesty the Emperor in Cangzhou.

A month later, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, and the Ministry of Economic Development was in charge of the spoils after the battle. A large number of cattle, horses and sheep were circulated in the Tang Dynasty, and the market price was slightly reduced by a hundred Wen.

As for the meat, it became the ration of [-] soldiers and horses in Shuozhou. It gave the soldiers a feast of "gluttony". .

But it can't be wasted like this, and the 3 horses who set off from Shengzhou met Bazhuo's soldiers and horses, but they still let him escape.

After hearing the news, Li Shimin did not blame the generals. After all, the Turkic people lived in the desert for a long time, and the terrain and environment were very favorable to them. Let it go.

But this does not mean that the Tang State will not pursue it anymore, so they sent envoys to inform the remaining tribes in Mobei that they must belong to the Tang State within six months.

Without the support of the Xue Yantuo tribe, the situation in Mobei was in chaos, and many small tribes panicked. Although they were not without soldiers and horses, it was difficult to unite.

With the disastrous defeat of Xue Yantuo's tribe, Xue Yantuo's participating tribes were all trembling, and Bazhuo lived in fear every day. Three months later, he personally brought tribute to the Tang Kingdom, hoping to exchange his father Yinan with this. .

But is it that simple, let Yinan go back and let him reorganize the tribe?

So Bazhuo was directly sent to the Tang Dynasty by the software, and he had no choice but to live a carefree life with his father.

The tribes in Mobei, which had lost their backbone, fell into chaos. The [-] troops of the Tang Dynasty formally established the Protectorate in Mobei. The tribes were not allowed to form an army, and it was found that the entire tribe was killed.

In the iron-blood system, there is no room for sympathy. In addition, the Tang State will provide economic support and encourage the tribes to conduct business with Tang State merchants.

A tribe without an army is tantamount to a pack of wolves without minions, all turned into sheep. The system is implemented in accordance with the system of the Tang Dynasty. Many harsh systems have been cancelled, especially the nobles are not allowed to buy and sell people, and slaves are not allowed. The system is pure, and all laborers need to be hired and paid.

Tang State's [-] soldiers and horses are in Mobei. If they don't obey, they will be attacked by Tang State's iron-blooded cavalry. In principle, it doesn't make sense at all.

Chapter 1015 Goguryeo Chaos

Zhenguan 16 years.

It has been four months since the First Battle of Shuozhou, and the situation in Mobei is very stable. The [-] soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will establish a Dufu Mansion in Mobei to manage the affairs of various tribes. teacher hope.

The military system among the tribes was abolished, and if there was any disobedience, the army would follow, and the situation in Mobei was quickly stabilized by iron-blooded means.

Xue Yantuo's participation forces completely collapsed, and the tribal nobles had to compromise. Ba Zhuo, the eldest son of Yinan, accepted the tribe's request and went to Tang State to intercede, but was forced to live in Tang State.

The 3 horses sent, more than [-] mink furs and agate mirrors all entered the treasury of the Tang State.

The officials of the Chang'an Executive Yuan had different opinions on how to deal with the Turkic people. Wei Zheng was the first to speak out. He hoped to see the Tang people and the Turkic people live in friendly relations. First, he would release their leaders and promote exchanges between the two sides. Treat the Horde with a gentle strategy.
