"Khan, the Tang army is coming!"

As Musa Wanhu withdrew to Ganzhou with six or seven thousand Uighur cavalry, news of the arrival of Tang reinforcements also reached the ears of the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou.

Moreover, it was Liu Kui, a Tang army general who had caused heavy losses to the Uighurs in Ganzhou.

This news is tantamount to a thunderstorm on the ground.

For a time, the Uighurs in Ganzhou also began to hesitate.

"Great Khan, the minister is willing to lead the army to fight the Tang people to the death." Ma Heimu immediately asked for battle.

"The Great Khan can't, now the Tang people are menacing, Ganzhou City has been surrounded by the Khanate for more than half a year and has not been breached, and now it is a little inappropriate to fight the Tang people." Some people are not optimistic about the decisive battle ahead.

"Great Khan, even if we don't want to fight a decisive battle with the Tang people, now that Suzhou has been broken by the Khanate, the Tang people will definitely send troops to attack Suzhou and open up the Hexi Corridor.

Instead of passively facing the battle, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Moreover, Suzhou was bought by the sons of the Khanate with blood, how could it be easily given up? ”

In Ma Heimu's opinion, after the battle between the Tang Army and the Rokutani Division, there must have been a lot of damage, and this was the time when the Tang Army was weak.

If this Tang army reinforcements can be defeated, it will be impossible for the Tang army to organize such a large reinforcement in a short period of time.

At that time, the Khanate was able to control most of the Hexi Corridor, and the Tang Army was not necessarily the opponent of the Khanate.

Yao Luo Ge Renmei was honestly a little unconfident about the decisive battle of the Tang Army, but thinking of the situation that he had finally won, if he suddenly gave up.

Not only did the warriors of the Khanate die in vain, but perhaps the generals below would be dissatisfied.

"But the Tang army is menacing, and our army in Ganzhou alone cannot fight a decisive battle with the Tang army. Send someone to inform the Hassan special service, let him lead the army from Suzhou to Ganzhou, since the Tang army wants to open up the Hexi Corridor, then we will fight the Tang army here in Ganzhou to see who is the master of the Hexi Corridor. ”

After all, Yao Luo Ge Renmei is a young man, young and vigorous, let him endure it all the time, and he can't accept it.

Instead of retreating, it is better to take the initiative to launch a decisive battle.

Since it was about to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army, the Uighur army ended the siege of the city of Ganzhou.

In fact, even if the Uighur army continued to besiege the city of Ganzhou, it would be useless because it would not be able to enter it.

They besieged Ganzhou City for half a year, but not only failed to attack Ganzhou City, but lost more than 10,000 soldiers.

The loss of more than 10,000 people was somewhat unbearable for the Uighurs in Ganzhou, so they were besieged but not attacked. TVmobile/

The reason why Ganzhou City can last so long is that in addition to the strong city walls, there are also great killing weapons such as divine machine cannons and sky-shaking thunder.

After the siege equipment was destroyed by the artillery of the Tang army, the Uighurs had to fill it with human lives.

Moreover, there were 7,000 defenders in the city, and there was plenty of food and grass, so they could hold out for so long.

Although the Uighurs no longer attacked the city frequently, they continued to surround it, so the situation in Ganzhou could not be passed on.

The Uighurs had abandoned the siege and began to assemble to prepare for battle, and Wang Jian in the city of Ganzhou found out.

"Governor, what's going on? Are the Uighurs going to give up the siege? Looking at the withdrawn besieging troops, some people were puzzled.

"It's not!" Wang Jian shook his head, looking at the Uighur army that had given up the siege but was still gathering outside the city of Ganzhou, and couldn't help but have some guesses, "The Uighur army is not retreating, but is gathering, does this seem like a feeling of a great enemy coming?" ”

"What do you mean, Dudu?" The generals below thought of a possibility, but were not sure.

Wang Jian guessed, "You guessed right, it is estimated that the Dadu Protectorate has already defeated the Liugu Division, and it may even be that the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived." ”

"Reinforcements from the imperial court? Could it be that the imperial court has pacified Zhu Wen? ”

"Who knows? We'll wait for the result. Wang Jian wasn't sure.

But soon he got the exact news, and the carrier pigeon from Liangzhou told him the news.

It is a carrier pigeon flown from the Dadu Protectorate, and the content on it is very simple:

Reinforcements have arrived, hope to hold on!

After getting this news, Wang Jian had the bottom in his heart.

Of course, he can't get involved in the next big war.

Although Ganzhou has not been broken for a long time, the losses are not small, he has only more than 3,000 soldiers on his hands, and many of them are wounded, so he does not dare to go out of the city to participate in the war at all.

His task was to defend the city of Ganzhou and then wait for the outcome of the battle.

However, after Wang Jian sent scouts to inquire about the situation, his expression was a little solemn. Recommended ReadingTV//

Because the Uighurs sent a large army from Suzhou to reinforce Ganzhou, they even found traces of the Uighurs in Shazhou.

The Uighurs are fighting to the death.

Although it is not known how many large armies the Uighurs gathered, there were definitely forty or fifty thousand, and Wang Jian also knew that the Uighurs in Ganzhou had a heavy cavalry.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly sent carrier pigeons and told the direction of Liangzhou the news he had detected, hoping to attract the attention of the imperial army.

Wang Jian's speculation was still a bit conservative, and the Uighurs had gathered a large number of troops this time, not 40,000 or 50,000, but 70,000.

This was more than the Uighur forces of Ganzhou at their peak.

Of course, the Ganzhou Uighurs themselves had only 45,000 men, the Shazhou Uighurs had 10,000, and there were 15,000 armies of various small and medium-sized tribes.

Among these tribes, there is even the Tubo tribe in the southern region of the Qilian Mountains.

Seventy thousand troops, and all of them are cavalry, can't help but make people tremble.

"The Great Khan, the ministers thought that the garrison of the royal court should be strengthened, and the royal court had only five thousand men. And the commander of the Tang people is Liu Kui, who has led a large army to attack the royal court before, and even almost captured the royal court, so he must be guarded against. ”

After arriving in Ganzhou, Hassan's special service suggested that the garrison of the royal court be strengthened.

Hassan's special service considered leaving a way for the royal court to retreat, even if the battle against the Tang army failed, the khanate would not be able to afford it.

But Ma Heimu and the others did not agree, and even the Khan of Yao Luo Ge Renmei did not approve of the division of troops at this time, believing that it would weaken the strength of the army.

In the eyes of most people, defeating the main forces of the Tang Army is the most important thing.

And according to their information, there were not many reinforcements from the Tang people, and it was impossible to divide troops to attack the royal court.

After several rejections, Hassan did not give up and made the proposal again after the army had been assembled.

"Hassan special service, Ben Khan said that it is important to defeat the main force of the Tang people, and the royal court is safe." Yao Luo Ge Renmei was a little impatient.

"Hassan, you're too careful. Now that the Tang people are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have time to sneak attack the royal court.

If the Tang people really do this, we will directly attack Liangzhou and make them turtles in the urn. The Uighur leader of Shazhou on the side said with a smile.

Seeing that everyone did not trust his judgment, Hassan had a deep sense of powerlessness, and only hoped that his worries were unnecessary.

Today's khanate can't afford the turmoil it did before.

While the Uighur army was gathering here, Liu Kui led the army to the east of the city of Ganzhou, less than fifty miles away from the Uighur army.

The big war that will decide the ownership of the Hexi Corridor is about to break out!
