Chapter 395: The Gate to the Great Food World
Yang Feng's army repaired in Tuozhi City for half a month......
Or rather, it has been a scourge for half a month.
Although robbery, ***** and other evil deeds are still controlled, after all, the people have surrendered, but the 22,000 locusts and the more than 40,000 horses they accompanied still make the people of Shiguo miserable, not to mention that feeding them is a heavy burden.
Anyway, Yang Feng didn't bring food.
This guy has never cared much about the supply of food when he sends troops, he always solves it nearby wherever he goes, and only carries a very small amount of supplies with him, and he doesn't even bother to bring a carriage, that is, the accompanying pack horse carries frozen meat, cheese and grain, and by the way, he also brings a batch of feed to the war horse, as long as the quantity can ensure that he can go to the target of the attack. And his subordinates were originally mainly nomads, and horses were the most basic configuration, but after robbing the Grolu for more than two years, they are now all two-horse or even three-horseed, and traveling a hundred miles a day is the most basic. Those Tang soldiers are all three horses, a war horse, a riding horse and a pack horse, the speed of movement is comparable to the Mongolian army of the Western Expedition, although the Western Regions is not the Tang Dynasty, but it is impossible to be a city for two hundred miles, the farthest is actually only more than a hundred miles away, all within his two-day marching distance, as long as he carries three days of supplies, it is enough for him to go to any city.
The only problem with this tactic is that it is afraid of encountering a fortified city that cannot be attacked, once the fortified city is protracted, the enemy is strong, and there is nowhere to grab around, it will be completely finished, and no general with brains will do this.
Those who dare to do so are dead.
This can be said to be a taboo for soldiers, even if they dare to play like this in the future and succeed, there will be another Li Cunmiao, but Li Cunmiao is desperate, and he will be finished if he doesn't fight, and Yang Feng is not desperate.
Where is the fortified city in front of him?
Which city can stop him?
His army was well assured of a breakdown on the day it arrived, just as it was at Talas.
So what logistics does he want?
Fight where to eat, dare not to serve the uncles well, be careful of the uncles are mad, poor Shiguo people can only provide them with food and drink with trepidation, and even have to provide food and drink for their war horses, and they also have to worry about their spiritual life, otherwise which Tang army or servant army can't hold back and will do it themselves. In short, the people of Shi Guo waited for half a month with tears in their eyes, and finally waited for the day when they left, but not only did they leave, but at the same time, there was also a 5,000-person Shi State servant army, and 5,000 people who transported supplies for them, which were all their obligations, after all, General Yang came to protect their freedom of belief, so it was also appropriate for a group of prostitutes to be followed in the transport team.
Yang Feng's next stop is Juzhan Ti.
That is, Khujand.
When he arrived in Kuzhanti, it had been freed from the brutal rule of the Great Eclipse, and the combined forces of Ningyuan and Dongcao, with the cooperation of the military and civilians in the city, annihilated the 300 Great Eclipse Army in one fell swoop, and then recovered this ancient city.
Of course, in addition to them there were three thousand Don troops.
"Yang Feng, dare to fight me!"
Under the city, a general in his thirties wearing black Mingguang armor and holding two short iron spears jumped on his horse and shouted loudly at Yang Feng.
"Let the horses come!"
Yang Feng sneered arrogantly.
The latter did not hesitate to urge the war horse, the horse that was also covered in iron armor instantly arrived in front of Yang Feng, the short iron spear in his right hand was stabbed straight in the chest, Yang Feng didn't even use the Mo knife, sideways to avoid it and grabbed the tip of the spear at the same time, almost at the same time, the iron spear in the general's left hand stabbed like lightning, and was grabbed by Yang Feng's left hand at the next moment when he stabbed his ribs, and grabbed the spear with both hands. The general roared and regained with all his might, and the war horses under the two crotches let out an overwhelming scream at the same time, but the two were evenly matched, and the two iron spears were clenched in the four hands and pulled the two war horses to move their hooves.
Yang Feng sat upright and looked at his opponent reservedly.
And the general can be said to have tried his best, his face was red, but the two iron spears were firmly in Yang Feng's hands.
"I still can't beat you!"
He suddenly let go of his hands and gasped.
"You're self-aware."
Yang Feng threw the twin spears to him, and then said with a smile: "Let's go, take the brothers to drink together, I brought you a thousand catties of soju, and I still haven't been willing to drink it!" ”
This is Bai Xiaode.
Qiuzi royal family, Yang Feng became famous before the number one general of the younger generation of the Anxi Army, originally in history after the death of Li Siye Li Fei Yuanli took over as the envoy of the Anxi Northwest Court Camp Festival, Li Fei Yuanli died in the mutiny after the commander of the elite army of the Central Plains is he, after the Anshi Rebellion in Longyou to resist Tubo, and finally to the king of Changhua County to the end, at this time he led the three thousand Tang Army cavalry is Li Siye to Yang Feng's reinforcements.
The two of them walked side by side to the battle.
Behind them, the two Tang armies laughed and converged.
At this time, the commanders of the two armies of Ning Yuan and Dong Cao were already waiting for them in front of the city gate, and the two countries had put together an army of about 15,000 people, which was personally commanded by Dou Zhongjie, the king of Ningyuan, whose Dou was given the surname, and he also had a special status......
He is a Tang Dynasty horse.
Li Longji married the most loyal king of the Western Regions with the daughter of the clan as the princess of peace.
"King!"
Yang Feng said to Dou Zhongjie.
"The general doesn't have to be polite, the general's majesty in the Western Regions has made the big cannibals frightened, and all of us and other countries rely on the general's military might, and we should salute the general to thank the general for protecting us."
Dou Zhongjie smiled and said politely.
He is undoubtedly the most benefited from this continuous melee in the Western Regions, because he has never betrayed the Tang Dynasty from beginning to end, even when the Great Cannibals supported another king of Bakhana, and when the Tubo people blocked the passage of the Green Ridge, he did not betray the Tang Dynasty, and he also sent troops to help the Tang army fight in the Battle of Talas. Although his soldiers were the first to rout, and even blocked the road to force Li Siye to personally go into battle and cut a passage to protect Gao Xianzhi to retreat, but Bahan's soldiers did not betray, if the big cannibal completely controlled the Western Regions, he would definitely be unlucky, but because of Yang Feng's existence, now that the Tang Dynasty has counterattacked and recaptured the Western Regions, then he has become an example of loyalty to Zhaowu countries.
His gratitude to Yang Feng is sincere.
"It's all for the country, the king doesn't need to say thanks!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
A group of people entered the battle in this way, and then Ning Yuanjun took more than 100 prisoners.
"Cut it, pile up the capital outside the city!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
In the sound of beheading behind them, they entered the guard's mansion in the city, and before the banquet, Yang Feng first put a huge map in front of everyone, this is a military map used by himself, the accuracy is quite high, all the mountains and rivers are vividly visible, deserts, grasslands, and mountains are all marked with different colors.
"It's a fight."
He said, pointing to a dot on the map.
"This is Kang Kook."
He pointed to a point in the southwest.
"This is Zhong Cao, so who can tell me how many enemy troops Zhong Cao has?"
He asked, pointing to the middle again.
"There is no Great Food Army, only 3,000 troops collected from Kang, An, Ho, Mi and other countries, it is said that there is a change in the Great Food Country, its monarch is seriously ill, and his brother has a heavy army, in order to prevent his brother from seizing the throne after the death of his monarch, Abu. Mu Si Lin has not returned since the Hajj, and the main force of his subordinates has returned to Persia in the south, preparing to start a war in the event of a change, and only Ziyad remains in Kang. Ibn . Surrey's 5,000 food army, and the other is Kangguo's army, and it is estimated that their purpose is still the same as during the Battle of Talas, to hold Kangju City and wait for follow-up reinforcements. ”
The commander of the Dongcao army, a prince of Dongcao, said.
The Eastern Cao Kingdom is just south of Kuzhanti, that is, the southern half of the exit of the Fergana Basin, at the northern foot of the Turkic Sitan Mountains, they are Ningyuan to the east, and to the west is the Central Cao State, or simply the Cao State, and the Central Cao State is the city of Gadizhen, which can be roughly regarded as the area of Jizzak, which just blocks the passage to Samarkand, that is, Kangju, similar to the Talas to the Stone State. This is the north of the Turkic Sitan Mountains, the south of this mountain range that spans hundreds of kilometers, from east to west is the country of rice, Kang, He, Xicao, Dong'an, Anguo is Bukhara, from east to west along the moist plains along the Zeravshan River, as for from there to the south, that is the southern gate of Central Asia, the famous iron gate is closed, and there is Huoxun at the westernmost end, but it does not belong to this area.
The current situation in the Western Regions is clear.
It is to take the western section of the South Tianshan Mountains and its tributary Turkic Sitan Mountains as the dividing line, south of this mountain range, the humid plains or grasslands irrigated by the Zeravshan River and the Amu Darya River have basically been completely controlled by the Great Food, and have been operating for decades, most of them have completed the Great Food, although it is not stable, but at least it can be regarded as the Great Food World.
To the north of this line, Zoroastrianism is still predominant.
The spread of the Great Cannibals was not forced to convert at the beginning, they were all carried out gradually, first by allowing religions such as Zoroastrianism to exist, but by collecting additional taxes to solve the rebellion in the process of conquest, when they gained the right to rule, and then began to lure the local people, when the number of believers in the conquered land increased, and even when they had an advantage, they immediately showed their true colors, and those who believed in me and those who did not believe in me died. And this process has lasted for tens or hundreds of years, in Persia it took them more than a hundred years to complete this process, in Central Asia they have also spent decades, and finally completed the great food of the Amu Darya River, and before the battle of Talas, they had also begun to infiltrate northward, and the battle of Talas was the inevitable result of this infiltration.
Therefore, at the entrance to the south, Zhongcao is not only the gate of Kangguo and other countries, but also the gate of the world of great food.
"Then open the door!"
Yang Feng patted the map and said.
"Tomorrow march, five days later I will see the walls of Kangju with you!"
Then he said.
"Well, General, don't we prepare the siege equipment first?"
Dou Zhongjie said in amazement.
"Siege engines? I don't need siege engines! ”
Yang Feng said proudly. 10
