Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty: the Iron-Blooded King Wins

In the tenth year of Tianbao, on the banks of the Talos River, the Anxi army of the Tang Dynasty was defeated like a mountain, and the remaining troops fled in all directions. The school captain Wang won the victory with 800 remnant soldiers, fought his way through the desperate situation in the Gobi, and was forced to retreat to the isolated city in the Western Region. At that time, the great food cavalry invaded the east, the countries in the Western Regions were separated, and Tubo was eyeing it. The door to the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty was wide open and was in danger. From a desperado hanging outside the Great Wall to an iron army sweeping across Central Asia, Wang Sheng used iron and blood as his blade and wisdom as his shield. In the "three desperate situations" with no food, no reinforcements, and no backup, Wang Sheng embarked on an eight-year bloody battle to defend the frontier. He made a surprise attack on the Qingfeng Oasis, defeated the 70,000-strong coalition army with a small victory, and regained the important town of Talas; he faced the suspicion of the court and refused to give an inch outside the Yumen Pass, protecting the three thousand robes under his command from being broken up; he organized the army, built cities and cultivated fields, restarted the Silk Road, and turned the barren Gobi into the first prosperous trade era in Central Asia. Forging his iron-blooded military spirit from the sea of ​​​​blood in the mountains of corpses, and guarding the original intention of his family and country from the game of court, Wang Sheng led the Anxi army to fight against Tubo in the north, resist food in the west, and pacify the Western Regions. He eventually became the king of Anxi County granted by the Tang Dynasty and guarded the Western Desert for generations. He spent his whole life persevering to wash away the humiliation of the Talas, creating the eternal legend of the "Anxi Iron Army" and becoming the Great Steel Wall of the Tang Dynasty that would never fall in the western frontier.
