Inner Asia during the Tang Dynasty was characterized by serial wars of expansion in the 7th and 8th centuries.

The Tang Dynasty forces were not unopposed.

Emperor Taizong's military success was, in part, a consequence of changes he initiated in the Chinese military. The emperor placed a new emphasis on cavalry, which was significant because his non-Chinese opponents used the horse effectively in warfare.
