"Save the laws of heaven, destroy the evil demons! Save the laws of heaven, destroy the evil demons..."

When the sky was dawn, the cheers of the peach blossom stone army sounded outside the Alai Mountain Pass, which really shocked the mountains and valleys, and even the earth seemed to tremble.

Although the march on the plateau at an altitude of about 4,000 was only more than 300 miles, both sides of the war still suffered a lot. Even though the Hexi coalition forces of the Education Corps were well prepared, they carefully preserved the soldiers' physical strength along the way, and everyone lost a lot of weight. Their faces were also exposed to "plateau red" by the sun on the plateau. The strong horses under their crotch could not stand the thin air on the plateau. They not only lost weight, but also gasped heavily.

What's worse is that many soldiers with poor physiques adapted to the plateau climate were sick and exhausted. In total, they had to draw some troops and horses to carry them to the lower-altitude Stone City (another Stone City, which is the location of the Panling guards of the Tang Dynasty where the East Tajiks live) to rest.

However, the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Hexi Allied Forces of the Educational Corps did not weaken at all. Early this morning, Zhang Yuan, Zhao Zhongshun, and Ma Zheng jointly issued the orders of "full meal" and "preparing for war", and then the three armies cheered!

The march, which was more difficult and dangerous than fighting, can finally come to an end. The final battle with the Turkic invaders who invaded China and the few Karakhan upper feudal lords who colluded with foreign invading troops is about to begin!

Because of the previous series of victories, no one now doubts how cruel the upcoming battle will become. Victory will definitely belong to the Song Dynasty, the Hexi Army, and the law of nature!

Surrounded by the happy-looking personal guards, Zhang Yuan, Zhao Zhongshun and Ma Zheng climbed a high slope with heavy troops. Under the dancing flag, the three of them each raised a distant tube and began to observe the terrain and the Karakhan camp.

Now the camp of the Turkic Khara Khan coalition is divided into two parts, part of which is stationed around Kara Lake. In addition to the elite Gulam warriors and Ikta knights, they are officials, scholars, as well as officials, knights, scholars' families and slaves of the Aslan Khan regime, plus superb handicraftsmen and wealthy merchants, there are also some strong militias, oh, and many young women. In short, they are all elite soldiers and core population!

Another part of the camp is outside the Alaya Pass, which is located in the village and blocks the road to the Alaya Pass. It looks like a refugee camp from a distance. Of course, the "refugee camp" are all abandoned by Aslan Khan, either the elderly and the weak, or the people who do not belong to the Karakhan tribe. They take their families and have few families, and follow Aslan Khan all the way to the unknown truth.

In fact, the regime of Aslan Khan is relatively to the indigenous peoples in Shule and Khotan, it is an alien regime. Shule and the indigenous people of the generation of Khotan were all mixed races of ancient Aryans, Han and Turkic Uighurs, and perhaps a considerable number of Tibetan blood Tajiks in the Pamir Mountains. In fact, they are relatively pure bloodlines of ancient Aryans, while Shule and Khotan are mixed races of ancient Aryans and Han and Tibetans.

The Karakhan tribe of Aslan Khan is a nomadic Turkic tribe in the Seven Rivers. Although the tribe origin also has some Uighur blood, it is not Uighurs. They themselves do not recognize it, but they are just mistakenly thought by the Song Dynasty officials to be Uighurs.

Therefore, the indigenous people of the Anxi generation were not Turkic, nor were they the basis of the rule of Aslan Khan. On the contrary, the Kharulu people in the Seven Rivers were closer to the Karakhans, which can be regarded as the basis of Aslan Khan.

When the disaster is coming, the core headquarters is preserved, the dependent subordinates, and even the old and weak in the headquarters are preserved. It has always been the survival rule of nomadic people on the grassland. The foundation of the Aslan Khan regime is actually a nomadic people, so naturally they will not talk about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

And the number of people abandoned by Aslan Khan exceeded 200,000! During the more than ten days of plateau marching, the number of people was reduced by about half due to various reasons. Now there are only more than 100,000 people left. Under the pressure of the invader Sanjar (Sanjar and the Caliph of the Tianfang Sect both recognized a peach blossom stone, so his current behavior was to violently interfere with the peach blossom stone, that is, China's unification cause, and an imperialist act of invasion), he set up camp in the valley outside the Alaya Pass.

It is said that it is a camp, but it is actually a refugee camp, without trenches, fences, and no arrow towers. There are not even a few tents and large trucks that can be used to support them. The livestock brought from Kashgar were all discarded during the march or taken away by pursuers. It is already very good for those who fled to the Alaya Pass to have a blanket on the ground and a piece of naan bread to make a living.

Of course, these "refugees" still have one or two weapons in their hands! This is something used to save lives. But it is not used to deal with pursuers, but to deal with companions.

Now these refugees have lost most of their luggage, and even eating has become a big problem. In order to compete for the remaining resources that can allow everyone to survive for the time being, what else can't be done? Even the Gulam fighters sent by Sanjar to control the refugees cannot stop these refugees from killing each other in order to compete for food.

Moreover, in the eyes of these slave warriors who came from the Qincha grassland and received extremely cruel militarized training since childhood, there is nothing wrong with killing each other for survival.

Perhaps he noticed the abnormal movements of the Shang Taohua Stone Army camp (all screamed, but they were deaf again), so the Gulam soldiers who were in charge of the formation and the imams who accompanied them all took action to organize the refugees who could pick up weapons, and forced them to list rows of horizontal formations and list more than a dozen formations outside the Alay Valley.

After the array was completed, everyone knelt down in the direction of Mecca under the command of the imams and began to pray before the war.

Zhao Zhongshun first put down the telescope, glanced at Zhang Yuan, the great teaching in charge of the Great Education Corps, and sighed: "The great teaching in charge, their sect is quite capable of uniting people's hearts. Hundreds of thousands of people can still form a formation to fight. Our three religions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are not as good as others."

Zhang Yuan nodded, "They are indeed worthy! To be honest, a few days ago, I also read their translation of the Qur'an and asked for advice from imams who can speak Chinese. They found that their principles are similar to our Neo-Confucianism and the "State of Heaven". Their Lord is our heavenly rule... but they have a prophet who can obtain the truth directly from the Lord, and we only have saints, and we must use rational reasoning to find the truth contained in the law of heaven. Without the assistance of "Personal Theory" and "Reason", our heavenly rule may not be as good as theirs."

Philosophy of the East and the West actually has interactions and commonalities, so they can communicate and promote each other. Since China is far away from other major civilizations in history, it is difficult for it to absorb enough ideological nutrients from other civilizations until modern times. In addition, the decline of civilization caused by the Mongolian massacre caused Confucianism to stagnate after the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was the highest peak of Confucianism, and saint-level scholars such as Cheng Yi, Zhu Xi, and Lu Jiuyuan were produced. Although Zhang Yuan was not as good as them, compared with the later Qing Confucians who were stubborn, the highest peak of Qing Confucians who were not sure how strong it was is that "middle school is the body, and Western learning is the purpose of use". However, they did not know that the middle school body can also absorb nutrients from the Western learning body, and in fact they did not really figure out what the "body" is? So while saying that middle school is the body, they introduced a large number of Western learning bodies, which resulted in the total collapse of middle school.

After absorbing the nutrients of "Theory of Heaven and the Theory of Ethical Law", Zhang Yuan, who is active in thinking, has now begun to absorb the essence from the philosophical thoughts of the Tianfang Buddhism.

Many years later, Zhang Yuan also became a master and saint of the Confucian Tianli School and one of the founders of the Western Regions Tianli Buddhism.

At this time, Zhao Zhongshun yelled: "Even if their principles are worthy, their military strategy must have nothing to be worth... I think it's almost done. Can you join the yak formation?"

The tactic of driving the cattle herds to rush to the camp was a common trick used by nomads in the Mongolian Plateau. Later, Genghis Khan's Mongolian army was particularly good at this kind of tactic. The Dangxiang people were semi-nomadic. Although they didn't play the ox formation very much, they would do this. Moreover, when the Ma Zheng led his troops to pass through Qinghai Road, they obtained many yaks that adapted to the plateau environment and raised cattle herds, and now they were brought to the plateau. Now they were driven by the Hexi auxiliary soldiers who were good at grazing or the yellow-headed Uighur herdsmen, and they had already gone to the battlefield...

Driven by the herdsmen, the yaks began to run, first running slowly, then speeding faster and faster, and finally they were frightened and rushing wildly. More than 10,000 yaks ran up in the open valley, as if the flood was rushing down from the sky, surging and unstoppable.

If the target of their attack was well-trained infantry, although some of them would be scattered by the rushing cattle herd, they could still withstand it. After all, there were 100,000 people and more than ten formations, how could they be flattened by more than 10,000 cows? If there were any fire-driven objects or firearms, they could even scare the cattle herd back.

However, the mob used by Aslan Khan and Sanjar to consume the power of the Song army did not have the courage to withstand the impact of the cattle herd. Before the yaks mooed, the armed refugees in the first row had already begun to retreat. After days of escape and being pursued by the tail ranks of the Song cavalry, their morale had long been extremely low. If they had not climbed the Palacio Mountains and had no way to escape, they would have collapsed. Now that they saw the cattle herd that was rushing like a flood, what else could they do besides collapse?
