Chapter 856: The King's World Affairs (6)
The war outside the city of Naryn began at the beginning of the twenty-sixth day and finally reached the right time.
The elite cavalry of the Zhou army and the Tuqi Shi people are like two torrents colliding together! With decisive courage and fighting, the battle went through several iterations, and at the very moment (10:15), the 10,000 elite horsemen who crossed the Pearl River to attack the city were defeated like a tide and fled.
Jia Huan was at the head of Narun City and witnessed the situation, changes, and endings of the entire battlefield.
As Jia Huan, standing at the head of the city to boost morale has a limited role. Unless he's the emperor! However, this battle was not commanded by Shen Qian, and the worry about victory and defeat in his heart was magnified. Just like the Battle of Shule, when Shen Qian's military talent was not revealed. And Zhang Sishui, his trusted confidant, gave him a satisfactory result.
"Let's go!" Jia Huan moved his sour and cold hands and feet, exhaled hot air, and took Yang Dayan and other generals down the city wall.
Outside the city, countless Hu horses were crowded on the three pontoon bridges on the Pearl River, and people turned over on their backs. The cavalry, who could not squeeze into the bridge, could only run wildly along the south bank of the Pearl River. Behind the scenes, the firecrackers of the Zhou army mercilessly pursued and captured prisoners. So far in the battle, the Zhou army has won a big victory!
Yang Dayan is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, with a majestic and tall posture, as far as Jia Huan estimates, about 1.9 meters. Round face with big eyes. Geng said straightforwardly: "Third master, those Tuqi Shi people are too weak. I can kill a hundred people alone. ”
Several guards who were good friends with him immediately coaxed, "Big eyes, don't brag!" Don't you see the rain of arrows from the Turgish? Even the sun in the sky obscures it. If Judge Zhang hadn't taken the initiative to attack and fight, we wouldn't be at the head of the city. ”
Zhang Sishui served as the judge of the Shule Army. Repelling the incoming attack of the Tuqi Shi people, the Zhou army was relaxed up and down.
Yang Dayan was about to retort. Jia Huan smiled slightly, waved his hand to stop him, stepped on the stairs, and said in a relaxed tone: "Send you to charge next time." ”
At the head of the city, the gate of the city was busy. The wounded, food, herbs, gunpowder, messengers and other people came in and out.
Several people carrying empty stretchers saw Jia Huan, gave way on the side of the road, bowed and saluted: "I have seen the envoy!" "They were all recruited from Shule.
Jia Huan stretched out his hand and said, "Don't be polite, you guys are busy!" ”
There were busy places in the city, Jia Huan didn't go to inspect, and went straight back to the general's mansion in the city. Liu Yichen and a group of clerks are working in the hall. Sorting out the data and deploying all kinds of materials, when they saw Jia Huan coming back, they congratulated one after another: "Envoy, great victory!" After this battle, the Turks will not rush to attack in a short time! ”
Jia Huan smiled and nodded, "Not bad." ”
After a few words of laughter, Jia Huan ordered to reward the three armies. There were shouts of "ten thousand victories" inside and outside the city. Like a mountain roaring tsunami, it is inspiring.
A relaxed smile appeared on the corner of Jia Huan's mouth, and he walked out of the lobby and into the small courtyard behind him: his public house.
Cheers could be heard faintly outside. Jia Huan drank the warm wine sent by the guards, took a sip, his stomach was warm, and his whole body was full of Tai. Standing in front of the sand table, he groaned slightly. Release his emotions a little!
The soldiers forced the broken leaves, and the flanks pinned down the Turks. His mission has been accomplished. Now wait for Shen Qian to lead the army to come.
Before leaving Shule, he still had some worries in his heart. Skate on thin ice. First, with the new army in battle, and the 500,000 Turks of the army competed on the battlefield. Second, he did not have a general in his hands.
And now, he saw the sharpness of the firearms of his soldiers, and the decline of the nomads' cavalry and archery tactics. He had something else in mind, something bigger!
This is not the pride that comes after victory! Instead, he led a large army to defeat the Tuqi Shi people, and at this time, he was no longer a chess piece in the strategy of the entire Zhou army's Western Regions, but he was a chess player!
If you don't realize this transformation of roles and stick to the orders of Qi Dashuai, you are a mediocre person! It is the greatest irresponsibility to the soldiers of the Zhou army and the country.
Jia Huan's gaze fell on the area of the North Court on the sand table, and saw Samarkand and Juzhanti. Gently sip your lips and drink the wine in your hand in one gulp.
The midday sun poured into the room, and it was exceptionally warm.
…
…
Gongyue City, located in the Ili River Valley, is the commander-in-chief of the nine cities of Ili, and dominates this rich land known as the south of the Saiwai River.
The golden sunset hung diagonally on the city's head, and the flag fluttered. Outside the city, there are herds of cattle and sheep by the small river that winds around. Farmsteads spread across the fertile land. In the cold wind of late autumn, a large number of Han slaves were working hard.
Due to the Zhou army and the ancient department of Baye competing for power in Beiting, the North Silk Road has completely cut off business travel. Business and travel are all on the South Silk Road opened by Jiahuan. Through Dunhuang, Khotan, Shule, and Ashu, it entered Persia.
There is no business travel in Gongyue City, but it is still prosperous. On the street, there are wine shops, green houses, casinos, silver horns, jewelry stores, and medicinal herb shops. This Beiting town is home to a large population. It was the second largest city of the Turgish.
In the past few days, the Khan of Fengde has been summoning the princes of Turgish and the capital (ten thousand households) in the Khan's mansion in the city to discuss and brew the war in the northern court. News gathered on his desk in a flood of messengers.
At half past six in the evening, the Khan of Fengde looked gloomily at the bulletin on the bookcase in the palace like a king's tent:
On the morning of August 26, outside the city of Naren, the Zhou army marched in formation with 5,000 firearms and artillery support, and defeated the 10,000 elite cavalry of the Tucha Shi. More than 2,000 people were killed and more than 4,000 were captured. The casualties of the Zhou army were about 1,000.
"What the hell! Tangut this rubbish! ”
Fengde Khan was so angry in his heart that he didn't even look at the details of the bulletin, and kicked the bookcase over. The picture albums, pen holders, gold utensils, and letters on the desk were scattered on the ground. Several of the entourage had already hid far away, trembling and afraid to step forward.
What did he say to Unige before he left? Said: Just a Wenchen! Lead a rabble! And now, what's the situation?
He has been a khan for more than twenty years, and he has never been so embarrassed!
This made him have the face to say goodbye to Princess Uniri before defeating the Zhou army?
"Someone!"
…
…
A light snow covers Anzai and Beiting. This is the second snow of the year.
Shule Town, the pass of the southern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, Shen Qian and Yang Ji, with their own personal soldiers, and 3,000 elite cavalry through the Tianshan Mountains.
Riding on a horse, the wind chill is particularly biting. Rolling mountains block the view. Shen Qian picked up the liquor and poured it to ward off the cold, and encouraged in a loud voice: "Everyone work hard, and we will rest when we get to Naren City." ”
A cadre of soldiers should be reconciled.
It is still 200 miles from the city of Naryn.
…
…
Just as Shen Qian was hurrying, a messenger from the North Court arrived in Naren City.
In the afternoon, the wind and snow were rushing. In the small city, the barracks and granaries are covered with snow.
Jia Huan got up from a nap, rubbed his face with warm water, went to the public room, and ordered someone to bring the messenger in.
"Jia Yuanjun, the handsome man has a letter for you."
Jia Huan nodded, "Good work." He ordered the messenger to be brought down to rest, and when he had read the letter, he replied.
A white plum in the corner of the wall is waiting to be released. Jia Huan sat at the desk, reading Qi Dashuai's handwritten letter, and then, pondering slightly: Qi Dashuai ordered him to confront the Tuqi Shiren.
Confrontation is not containment. Containment means to make the Turgish suspicious of his presence. A few days ago, he had done it. And the meaning of the confrontation: it is to force the cavalry to press the heavy army on him!
How many cavalry did the Turgish have with 500,000 troops? According to the population, it is estimated that there will be an army of fifteen people.
And his earlier vision was not to face the entire army of the Turgish. In the face of part of the Turquoise army, he gathered Shen Qian's 40,000 troops, with a total of 60,000 in his hands, and he was sure that he would defeat Broken Leaf City.
And what about all?
