"The great teacher, general army, chief army, and the elite cavalry of the former army once again destroyed the thief and captive army, beheaded 500 levels, and damaged six people themselves, including three of them."

The cavalry flew to the front of Zhang Yuan and Ma Zheng's mounts. The Great Education Regiment and the Hexi Army are now standing side by side, marching westward in a very open and straight valley on the plateau. They are only biting behind hundreds of thousands of Turkic Karakhan coalition forces that flee west.

Although they marched less than 30 miles a day after entering the Pamir Mountains, they could not resist their opponents walking even slower. The brigade of troops traveled less than 20 miles a day, so they caught up in a few days. However, Zhang Yuan, Ma Zheng and Zhao Zhongshun did not rush to order the war. Instead, they followed the enemy's brigade and chased them all the way, and sent elite cavalry to defeat the broken enemy. Within a few days, they won more than ten thousand and eight thousand in the enemy's heads cut down. This is still a number of beheadings. If we count the mob that was planned to hide on the mountains on both sides of the valley and wait for death (the mountains here are all bare and there is no food to climb up), tens of thousands of people will be killed.

However, the killings were all worthless miscellaneous soldiers, most of whom were not armed and had no horses to ride. They were just light infantry, and the cavalry could break up with a charge. Therefore, a head could not be exchanged for a few dollars, and until now, everyone has realized that they will not talk about money.

Everyone of Hexi soldiers who "dangxiang surrendered to Han" wanted to go to India as a mighty master, and the soldiers of the Great Education Corps also had land in the Hexi Corridor to reward. Although the land in Hexi is not valuable, it cannot stand the number. After this battle, they will be the big landlords!

"How many days will it be before Kala Lake?" Zhang Yuan sent the cavalry and turned around and asked Ma Zheng and Zhao Zhongshun.

"Three days left," Ma Zheng thought for a while, "the elite of the thief may have arrived."

"Can they rest in Kala Lake three?" Zhang Yuan frowned, "Do we want to hold on?"

"No need." Zhao Zhongshun interrupted, "Now there is no need... just follow the thief brigade. They walk slowly, we chase slowly, and we can't let them disperse before passing the Alai Mountain Pass."

"Yes, this is a dead place. It's too easy to kill all the old, weak and disabled captives... Just use cavalry to disperse! But in this way, we will lose a group of mobs that can be driven."

"Driving the mob?" Zhang Yuan was stunned. He understood what Zhang Yuan and Zhao Zhongshun were talking about? They both wanted to drive away the Turkic mobs to take the lead!

This tactic that damages good deeds is never available in military books...

"Great teaching, we cannot be kind to women!" Zhao Zhongshun looked at Zhang Yuan, thinking that this guy had discovered his conscience, so he quickly persuaded him.

"It's okay, it's okay... I don't control the army!" Zhang Yuan was not a man who was kind to women? He and Ji Yi were the best. Birds of a feather flocked together. Naturally, they had a similar stinking taste, both of whom were unkind and unrighteous Confucians.

Ma Zheng smiled and said, "Actually, Aslan Khan brought them to the Pamirs, so he didn't want them to leave alive... If anyone is unkind and unrighteous, it's that Aslan Khan."

"Yes, we can save some of it. Following Aslan Khan is a dead end!" Zhao Zhongshun also started talking nonsense seriously.

"I have to save some." Zhang Yuan agreed deeply, "They are also the people of our China, but they were encircled by the thieves. After the battle in Kalahu, they will collect the surviving people and take them to India."

...

"Khan, there is Alaya Pass in front of you!"

The East Tajik guide who led the way just pointed at the open mountain pass in front of him and said to Aslan Khan behind him with a trembling voice.

There are also residents in the Pamir Mountains. They are called Tajiks, also known as Selekurs. The former is the name given to them by the Turks who converted to the Tianfang Sect, and the latter is the name given to them by the Persians. According to legend, this race was reproduced by the "Japanese people" and Han people after intermarriage, but their appearance and language are similar to those of the Persians. In the early years, a country of 未pantuo was established, which was once a very powerful Buddhist country, but was later destroyed by Tubo. Now it has joined the Karakhan Dynasty, and most people have also converted to the Tianfang Sect, but the period of conversion was not long, only a few decades.

Unexpectedly, the Karakhan Dynasty, which was originally arrogant and claimed to be a peach blossom stone khan, represented China in the Western Regions, is now time to run away from the country of destruction.

The real army of the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom is now following the fleeing Karakhans... The stone city where the King of Impantuo where the East Tajiks live is now located (the old place for the Pamirs in the Tang Dynasty) is likely to have been recovered by the Peach Blossom Stone people!

I don’t know if the authentic Peach Blossom Stone people will pursue the fault of the Eastern Tajiks in serving the Karakhan Dynasty?

Aslan Khan sat upright on the horse, looking at the land that still belonged to him, and his heart was filled with emotion.

He not only lost the country, but also had to hand over most of his people to Sanjar as a meat shield.

I don’t know how many people can be left in the end to follow him to develop the country in India?

However, he did not dare to resist Emir Sanjar. Sanjar had 13,000 Gulam warriors, and now he had less than 800 Gulam warriors. The strength gap between the two sides was too big! If he wanted to join forces, he would be dead.

A sound of horse hooves sounded. Aslan Khan looked back and found that it was Sanjar who was panting and catching up from behind under the protection of his Gulam Guard. In the past few days, Sanjar had been leading 2,000 Gulam soldiers in the back to supervise the war and the so-called militia. In fact, the people of the Karakhan dynasty who followed Aslan Khan from Kashgar, and they were also the old and weak among them. He had a little combat power and was now incorporated into the Karakhan army... They were used to take the lead in the decisive battle later.

According to Sanjar's plan, the key to the decisive battle in Kala Lake is to consume the opponent's physical strength. The air on the Pamir Mountains is thin, and there is ten strength at the foot of the mountain. If you go up the mountain, you can't fight for a few rounds. As long as you use up all their strength, no matter how powerful these Han people can fight, it will be useless.

Sanjar walked twice to the Pamir Mountains and was tortured in Kashgar City for two months. Now he looked black and thin, his lips were all covered, but he was in good spirits. He looked at the wide mountain pass in front of him and smiled: "Ahmad, this is the battlefield where we were defeated on the Taohua Stone Army."

Aslan Khan sighed: "It's a pity that I can't go back to Kashgar even if I win..."

Sanjar looked at Aslan Khan and smiled and said, "What are you going to Kashgar? Isn't it good to go to India? The Kingdom of Polo is vulnerable. If it weren't for those damn crusaders, I would have led my troops to conquer it long ago. It doesn't matter if there are few people. There are tens of thousands of warriors, which is enough to conquer the Polo dynasty... At that time, as long as they burn their Buddhist temples and kill all their monks, the people of the Polo Kingdom will bow to the banner of Allah."

Still lying... Aslan Khan sneered in his heart. He didn't believe that Buddhists were so easy to deal with!

However, this time Sanjar did not lie. Buddhists in India are different from others... Because of the struggle between Buddhism and Hinduism, they are easily conquered by any foreign religion, including the Tianfang religion. This is because Hindus does not allow Buddhists to eat "returning to the grass". Buddhism is a religion that was divided from Hinduism, so Buddhists can also be regarded as "separated from" Hindu heresy. If they want to return, they will lose their castes and become untouchables.

So the Kingdom of Polo is an object that is particularly easy to conquer!

Aslan Khan sighed softly: "Amir, since this is the battlefield, please arrange it... Do you need to build fortifications at the Alayi Pass?"

"No," Sanjar shook his head, "Now you just need a good rest... The temple army left behind can block the enemy for about two to three days. Let's hurry up and take a breath in Kala Lake."

Kala Lake is a basin, otherwise it would not have become a place where glaciers and snow melting. Although it is located on a plateau, the altitude is lower than the surrounding area, less than 4,000 meters. Now it is the best season of the year. The water and grass are abundant, the lake and mountains are beautiful, which just allow the army to rest and let the cattle, sheep and horses that have been rushing for days have a full meal.

So this land is the only way for the army to pass through the Pamir Mountains. The Turkic Karakhan coalition, which was two or three days earlier, won a valuable rest time.

...

Outside the tent, there was the sound of horses neighing, and the smoke of the cooking fires and the laughter of the Han soldiers, floating in. The dusk had already merged into the wild and enveloped the Red Water River. Seventy thousand infantry and cavalry soldiers holding the banner of the Song Dynasty showed their power on the Pamir Mountains, forcing the most powerful Emir Sanjar in the West to not dare to fight a dignified battle. Due to frequent victories, in the eyes of these elites who were thousands of miles away from home, although the Pamir Mountains were high, they could not stop their troops from coming and going freely. It was the time when morale was the highest.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was walking around the camps with his hands behind his back, with Ma Zheng and his guards. It was said that it was a camp, but in fact it was a tent set up along the Hongshui River. Only at the front, near the enemy, a vehicle array blocking the road was set up.

This level of solution is definitely unqualified to place it under the plateau. However, at an altitude of 4,000 meters, maintaining the strength of the warrior is more important than anything else. Moreover, the hard-striking distance block has been spread out long ago, and the enemy wants to surrender is simply a dream.

"Can we take up the battle tomorrow?" Zhang Yuan asked while inspecting the rest of the troops. "We have walked a lot slower... Sanjar and Aslan Khan have been resting in Kala Lake for at least four days, right?"

"It's almost four days, but it doesn't matter. We are not tired all the way. We can fight with all our might starting tomorrow!" Ma Zheng smiled, "and there are at least 100,000 Karakhans in front of us... They are about to escape from death!"
