Chapter 871: I Arrive, I See, I Win (I)
The light rain stopped during the night. In the streets, groups of soldiers in neat armor walked through the stagnant water, clattering.
In the streets and alleys, the civilians of the Turgish looked timidly at their army. His eyes were filled with unspeakable worry. When the rain stops, the Zhou army will definitely attack the city, and the city is broken, what will they do?
The nobles of the city are organizing and arming their families and slaves for war. The Zhou army's policy towards the Turgish people was: free slaves, average pastures, cattle and sheep. After the city was destroyed, their aristocratic property could not be protected. Who doesn't do their best?
The atmosphere in the entire Shattered Leaf City is suppressed to a critical point!
In the early morning, Tang Gut, the defender of Broken Leaf City, led several thousand households to patrol the defense at the head of the city. As far as the eye can see, the Zhou army camps outside the city are fluttering!
Tangut was dressed in iron armor, wearing a white cloak, and his expression was solemn. It makes people feel his composure and can be relied on. But in fact, he is very pessimistic about the current situation.
The 30,000 Zhou army has arrived in the city!
In the past, soldiers with armor were the standard for measuring the elite of the army. Any army equipped with iron armor is more powerful than an unarmoured army! There are 80,000 soldiers among the Turgish, which is quite an elite army. However, in front of Zhou Jun's firearms, how much difference is there between wearing armor and not wearing armor?
I can't hold it at all! The difference is only in how many Zhou troops are killed.
He was ordered by the Khan of De to stay behind to guard the broken leaves. First, it was a mistake to think that the Zhou army was simply unable to attack Broken Leaf in the near future. He was still holding a drinking banquet for his son at home at that time, which is so ironic!
Second, after he fought with the Zhou army, he didn't expect the other party's commander to use troops so strangely, and 20,000 people were outside the battlefield. Constantly fighting with superior forces in the local area. With the elite of the Zhou army, it is still a superior force, and the result can be imagined!
"Dashuai..."Tangut's henchman Chito Sidiko reminded him when he stopped, silent. He went out to battle that day, stormed the position of the Zhou army, killed and wounded 400 people, and returned defeated.
Tang Gut came back to his senses, looked away from the banner with the word "Shen" under the city, and said, "Let's go!" ”
In any case, fight to the death!
At this moment, a personal soldier galloped over, dismounted and rushed to the head of the city, kneeling on the ground and saying: "Dashuai, the big thing is not good, a large number of Zhou army spies have appeared in the city, spreading rumors everywhere, saying: Those who surrender will not die!" Except for the abolition of slaves, which is not negotiable, money may be paid to atone for sins. ”
The faces of the five thousand households beside Tangut changed suddenly. I'm afraid that the people in the city are unstable! In their propaganda, they portrayed the Zhou army as a demon who slaughtered and plundered the Turgish people. This slogan of "no death" is very tempting - bewildering, very pertinent!
Tang Gut could no longer maintain his calm general demeanor, and sighed abruptly, "Alas...! He realized that what he had encountered was a combination of punches, which the opposing leader, Shen Qian, had begun to arrange very early.
After ordering the capture and killing of the Zhou army spies, Tang Gut led thousands of households down the city. He knew that his life would not be long!
…
…
On the 27th, when the Zhou army began to attack Broken Leaf City, the Fengde Khan of the Turgish people did not sit in Gongyue City. Instead, he personally led an army of tens of thousands, combined with the army of the Broken Leaf River, totaling 50,000 people, and stormed the Almadai Pass.
The Broken Leaf River, fifty miles from the Almaddai Pass, is in a small town called Almaty. The town is located next to a small river. The official office in the west was requisitioned as the residence of the Fengde Khan. A large number of military horses are present in the town.
Messengers to the mountain pass were endless.
Yesterday's light rain was incessant, covering up the mighty mountains and rivers. The north wind is cold, beating at every scene and object in the town.
In the courtyard where the Khan of Fengde was located, the lights were bright. The guards and servants who came and went were light-handed. They all knew that Khan was in a bad mood at the moment.
An old servant, hunched over, brought wine and mutton to the room. The Khan of Bondeok was anxiously walking around the map.
At the age of forty-three, the Khan of Fengde had a typical appearance of a Turgish. Yellow-skinned and black-haired, tall, with a straight nose and square mouth. His eyes are blazing, as if he can see through people's hearts. Anyone who meets him can feel his energy, ambition. Like a steppe lion. There is the posture of a master.
This is the most outstanding politician and ruler of all dynasties since the rise of the Turgish. Under his leadership, the Turgish people are moving towards prosperity and strength!
It's just that when he was running the company Turgish, in the process of becoming bigger and stronger, he met a young man!
"Jia Huan!"
The Khan of Fengde did not notice the old servant who came in, his eyes fell on the map, on the tiny city of Naryn, and he gritted his teeth and said the name that he hated!
Thinking about ten days ago, he still thought that Jia Huan was a "good person", but he didn't expect this person to bite him hatefully, causing him to lose his teacher and humiliate the country, and now even broken leaves may be lost!
Intelligence from the front has arrived. The Almadé Pass is only the main access route, not the only one.
But because the progress of the Zhou army was too fast, the 50,000 elite army led by the general Boschel that he drew from the North Court had not yet arrived. He was simply powerless to break through the Zhou defenses of the Almadai Pass.
The Broken Leaf River is thousands of miles long. And the front line from Gongyue City to Beiting is thousands of miles, how can he bring back the army on the front line in ten days?
"When I catch you, Ben Khan will definitely break you into pieces!" Bongde Khan whispered angrily. Boiling eagles all day long, but being pecked blind by eagles! His anger can be imagined! Now, every time he sees his middle secretary, he remembers what he said that day: Jia Yuanjun is a good person! How ironic is that?
…
…
On the night of the 27th, when the Khan of Fengde gave vent his resentment, anger, and worries about the inheritance in private—to the beauties, to the children, he did not think much at this time. He didn't know that Jia Huan was not in Naren at this time, but had arrived at the hot seaside, not far from Broken Leaves.
He didn't think that the Zhou army could break through Broken Leaf City, which was defended by 40,000 men, in a short period of time. You know, there are only 40,000 troops, but there are at least 200,000 people in the city! Most of them were Turgish. This is a battle to defend the homeland and defend the country.
The Tuqi people were deeply influenced by Han culture. Judging from the rise and fall of the Central Plains Dynasty, how much time did it take for the Bianliang of the Song Dynasty to be breached? The Jin army besieged Bianliang several times! The Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty was besieged several times, did the Liaodong Jurchens defeat it?
This is where the confidence of Fengde Khan lies.
However, what Fengde Khan didn't know was that perhaps he resisted in his heart to think that this attack was not Hu Er's attack on Handu! Rather, the Han army went out to the west! Back then, how long did it take for Tang Anxi's army to break through the cavalry?
After a day's siege, by evening, the Zhou army was actually close to capturing Broken Leaf. The four gates of Broken Leaf were all blown down and fell into the hands of the Zhou army. It's just that Shen Qian was afraid of losses and didn't want to fight at night or in the streets, so he built a position on the spot and didn't attack the city.
The long night, the bitter cold wind, whimpered against the dark night sky.
The circumference of Broken Leaf City is dozens of miles, and the streets are vertical and horizontal. This is a city comparable to the capital city of the Central Plains. Even if the gates were captured, there would still be some depth.
The main road of Broken Leaf City, Suzaku Street, and Uniri's mansion, are long lights all night long. All her guards, her maids, were on standby.
It's just that the tense expression and the weapon in the hand can't give them a sense of security. The situation is already in jeopardy! Right on the edge of the cliff.
In the main room, the great beauty Uniri was groaning slightly on the Hu bed. The lights shone on her beautiful face. Snow-white, delicate lady. The peak is straight and the waist is thin.
She was just paying attention to Jia Huan, the chess player who led the troops with Wenchen. Her emotions are still on the side of the heroes on the prairie. Moreover, she thinks that Jia Huan is extremely stupid to attack Samarkand for a woman!
But, what about now?
The heroes she thinks may no longer be able to call the wind and rain, and the people she thinks are stupid, who have deceived everyone, including her, and come with a large army, and are about to become the new masters of Broken Leaves, and everyone will prostrate at his feet! Surrender to His will.
Including her.
She is about to become a captive of this man. How will she protect herself?
Unilge remembered the embarrassing scene in Tangut's mansion a few days ago, remembered the chaos of the scene at that time, and the concubine was so frightened that her hands were shaking. Don't blame her, as the mistress of Broken Leaves, she must be on the list of killed.
Unizh's mind walked, and time flowed. She is trying to recall, through the Western Regions Daily, to see what kind of person Jia Huan is?
I don't know how long later, a maid came in from outside the door, looking frightened, her voice was crying, trembling, and knelt down and said, "Princess, the city is broken!" The Zhou people are here. ”
