Chapter 870: The King's World Affairs (9)
Since the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, the Western Regions where the flames of war have burned, to November of the nineteenth year of Yongzhi, in fact, there is only the last place left: Beiting!
After Jia Huan captured Shule, with his vision and insight beyond the times, with his ability to govern after coming to this world, and with the assistance of famous generals and classmates, he has pacified Tocharian and Hezhong.
It's just that the news will come out, and it will take a little time!
The battle of the Western Regions, there is still one last battle left. But the king is the business of the world.
…
…
Gongyue City, located in the Ili River Valley, is located in the westernmost part of Beiting. It is the center and important town of the entire Ili River Basin, and dominates this rich land known as the south of the Saiwai River.
On the seventh day of November, the sky was overcast. The cold winds of winter blow over the city, the river, and the houses. It's freezing and pedestrians are scarce.
In the warm palace hall, the Fengde Khan of the Turgish people listened to the scrivener talk about the recent achievements of the North Court.
The Tucai people sent 50,000 troops, and the combined army of Baye Guxiaode and Shatuo people, and 20,000 Tongluo cavalry, a total of 150,000 people, attacked 70,000 Zhou troops in Beiting. He did not command the troops on the Beiting front, but handed it over to the general Boscher.
Although he likes hunting, he advocates martial arts and is skilled in bowing horses. But he was not a khan on horseback. The three parties jointly commanded and discussed the decision-making. But the command of the coalition forces is actually in the hands of Bano Kotaka, who has outstanding military ability.
Fengde Khan did not have much opinion on this. Because, Bano Kotaka sent his wife, the great beauty Uniri, to Broken Leaves! If it weren't for his desire to conquer Uniger's heart, this great beauty would have been enjoyed by him.
In fact, the superiority of the coalition forces in strength is not an advantage. Because the Zhou army is all elite, and the firearms are sharp. The actual advantage was that the Zhou army did not have cavalry. Baye Gu Xiaode is arranging a big battle against the weakness of the Zhou army.
"Khan, a total of 1,326 Hannu were transported from the North Court this time. There were 500 of them belonging to the Khan. It was about to be assigned to the Khan's farm outside the city of Guangren. ”
"Hmm." Fengde Khan nodded with satisfaction, looking at the map hanging in the study, as if he saw countless riches being transferred from the three counties of Beiting Jinman.
His gaze then fell to the satellite city of Gongyue City, Guangren City, 200 miles to the north. There were tens of thousands of slaves working for him on the farms, providing a variety of outputs. In my heart, there is a natural sense of satisfaction rising!
Now he is just waiting for the battle of Beiting to end smoothly, he will get the land of Beiting, lead the army back to Broken Leaf City with honor and wealth, and then enjoy the great beauty.
The scrivener bowed slightly, and looked at the Khan in his prime from the corner of his eyes, knowing that his khan was in the right mood.
The Chinese scrivener was about to say that when he plundered a few young beauties among the Han slaves. Fengde Khan came back to his senses from his reverie and said, "I heard that the materials in Beiting were all transported from Shule thousands of miles away. Haha, Chong Guan is angry and red-faced, this famous Jia Envoy is really a good person! ”
Beiting's materials, population, and ultimately all of them are his? And the broken leaves that should have been under pressure, because Jia Huan sent troops to the river without authorization, there was no pressure. It's not a good person, what is?
The scrivener echoed and smiled: "Khan is high! ”
…
…
When Fengde Khan reverie and issued Jia Huan a good person card, he must not have imagined what the current situation of Broken Leaf City was!
In the city of broken leaves, the Zhou army suddenly approached the city, and the nobles of the Tuqi Shi were in a panic. Several lively banquets seemed to have been smashed by someone, and all of them were scattered. The night of the lights and wine is slaughtered.
The commander of Shattered Leaf City, Tangut, later issued an order for martial law, mobilized his troops, and stood by to garrison the city.
By the time dawn came, he sent Tanma to contact the tens of thousands of troops around Broken Leaf City, and then sent a small force to engage the Zhou army.
After informing the panicked nobles in Broken Leaf City, Tang Gut took a few generals and a dozen thousand households to look at the camp of the Zhou army at the head of the city, which was undulating for several miles, like a red wave: the camp was relatively simple, but the ditches and tunnels were dug vertically and horizontally, which was very unfavorable for cavalry combat.
The faces of several generals suddenly became ugly. They didn't go out of the city last night, giving the Zhou army time to build their positions calmly!
"Made!"
Tangut recalled the rout at the city of Naryn a few months ago. At that time, the position of the Zhou army was like this.
Seeing this, Qianhu Sidike generously asked: "Marshal, the last general is willing to lead his troops out of the city and give the Zhou army a little color." "Zhou's army is powerful, but he and his sons are fearless!
Tangut thought for a moment and agreed: "Good! ”
He is a general who fights old battles. Defend the city, not the lonely city. Therefore, he did not recall the 40,000 troops stationed outside Shattered Leaf City. Horns for each other! At the same time, defending the city is morale, if the Zhou army besieges the city, does not fight, and fights morale, this city is as difficult to defend!
"The last general must not disgrace the marshal." Sidiko bowed and saluted, and with a bang, he took the order and left. The other seven or eight thousand households had different expressions. A moment later, I heard the sound of military trumpets and men converging.
Looking at the thousand elite horsemen who went out of the city to fight, like a yellow river rushing away, Tangut sighed softly and said to the generals around him: "What I am most worried about now is the battle situation in the Broken Leaf River Valley. ”
The terrain of Broken Leaf is flat, but to the east, you will find the Broken Leaf River Valley, which is thousands of miles long. It is also called the Broken Leaf River. The Broken Leaf River is the richest land in Broken Leaves. However, its topography is very bad. The Outer Alai Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, blocking the entrance to the Broken Leaf River. The mountain passes became the passages in and out.
In other words, cutting off the connection between Shattered Leaf City and Broken Leaf River Valley will cut off Bow Moon City's support for Broken Leaf City. The Almadai Pass, which was more than a dozen miles wide, was the best passage for the army to enter and exit the Shattered Leaf Valley.
If this main road is blocked by the Zhou army, it will be a big trouble. The tens of thousands of troops in the North Court and the Shattered Leaf Valley could not come back. It was cut into two sections by the Zhou army.
However, he didn't dare to have the idea of eating Zhou Jun in one bite. The battle damage ratio was originally as high as 1 to 7! He went to attack the position of the Zhou army, what is the difference between this and looking for death? His strategy is to defend aggressively.
Constantly fighting with the Zhou army. Consume the Zhou army. At the same time, the Zhou army came 400 miles away, how much grain and grass could it bring? And in Gongyue City, Fengde Khan will not get the news! Reinforcements will definitely be sent. Let the Khan make the final decision! He didn't dare to fight. If he loses Broken Leaf City, he will die and will not atone for his sins!
As Tangut spoke, the artillery in the Zhou army's position, roaring as promised, drew a curve of death.
"Boom!"
…
…
The worst-case scenario often happens!
The Zhou army surprisingly did not attack Broken Leaf City at night on the sixth night of the first month of November. Shen Qian left 10,000 people under Broken Leaf City. The main force of 20,000 people jumped out of the battlefield. At the same time, the division of troops attacked the Almadai Pass, cutting off the connection between Broken Leaf and Bow Moon City.
If from the map, Zhang Sishui on the western front went north to capture Hengros City, then the Tirish army in the Broken Leaf area was formed at this time to close the door and fight the dogs.
Of course, when it comes to the battlefield, the strength of the Zhou army is relatively weak everywhere, and Shen Qian adopts the tactics of flowering in the center.
Shattered Leaf City is the capital of the Turgish people, a fundamental place, and a city that cannot be lost! The 10,000 troops he left behind were a fish bone, a hard shell, choking in the throat of the Turgish.
The question now is whether Zhou Jun under Broken Leaf City was pulled out first as a fish bone, or Zhou Jun cooked a pot of raw rice smoothly!
By November 15, in just a few days, the entire Broken Leaf area was a messy porridge. Even the city of Naryn, where Jia Huan was located, was attacked by the five thousand cavalry of the Turgish. Under the city of Broken Leaves, the Zhou army fought even harder for days. At the mouth of the valley of the Broken Leaf River, corpses are everywhere. There are turks and horses, and there are Zhou troops!
War is not about inviting guests to dinner, but about shedding blood and sacrificing!
Shen Qian led 15,000 elite Zhou troops to sweep through the villages and towns east and south of Broken Leaf City outside the battlefield under Broken Leaf City, freed slaves, and plundered money and grain. Eat the enemy for one minute, be me for twenty minutes! And on November 18, the fighter plane was captured.
He led his army to defeat the Turgish people by the Shaye River, and the grain and grass of the capital (ten thousand households). In the afternoon of the same day, in the field battle, with superior forces, he defeated 10,000 Tucai Shi Jing cavalry. Then, the 10,000 troops who stayed on the road to monitor He Hunting City and Ye Zhi City, totaling 25,000 people, unstoppably swept away the 10,000 troops outside Shattered Leaf City, as well as tens of thousands of troops composed of several herdsmen!
On November 24, Shen Qian led his troops to sweep through thousands of troops, and the vast area outside the city of Broken Leaves was owned by the Zhou army. At the same time, pull out He Hunting City and Yezhi City, open up the connection with the logistics base Naren City, and obtain ammunition supplies. Relieve the siege and converge for the Zhou army under Broken Leaf City. Command more than 30,000 troops, besiege Broken Leaves!
The light rain stopped. A crescent moon hangs low in the distant sky. The moonlight fell on the camp of the Zhou army outside Shattered Leaf City.
After Shen Qian finished eating, he walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army with several generals and colonels, and the cold wind in winter came to the surface. It was cold, but the blow was extremely comfortable.
In the open space in the camp, the bonfire was lit and crackled, with a smell of pine oil and mutton, which diffused in the air.
The soldiers guarding outside the big tent saw Shen Qian come out and hurriedly put on his cloak. Xu Bodao: "Second master, it's windy today. ”
Shen Qian was twenty-one years old at the time, which was a very young age, but his brilliant achievements on the battlefield were unattainable by many people! Starry eyes have a handsome face and a slender posture. A heroic man.
Shen Qian smiled slightly, wearing a cloak under the service of his own soldiers, and asked Yang Ji, the guerrilla general beside him, with a smile, "When does Uncle Yang think we can capture Shattered Leaf City?" ”
Jia Huanye and arrived at the town by the sea. It is two hundred miles away from Broken Leaf City. Personally handle various government affairs in the Broken Leaf area. Naren City is no longer the center of the Zhou army, but is about to be a broken leaf! Yang Ji, who was beside him, naturally returned to the army and prepared to make meritorious contributions.
Yang Ji admired Shen Qian's current record. If you were another general to fight the Battle of Broken Leaves, how could you have such a record?
Yang Ji said with a smile: "Yu Qiao, if it hadn't rained for a day and a night, we should have drunk tea in Broken Leaf City at this moment!" ”
The generals and soldiers around Shen Qian all laughed. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed.
Shen Qian smiled heartily, holding the sword at his waist, and his gaze fell on the wide Broken Leaf City.
The so-called fortified cities and fortresses, in front of the Zhou army's artillery, are just local chickens and dogs!
