This time, among the 24 leaders of Mo Nan recruited by Ma Yongzhen, each of them had more than half of the troops participating in the war, and Ma Yongzhen was careful and finally found a grand reason to completely control these horses.

As soon as the matter was agreed, he immediately dispersed the 24 troops and reorganized them into an army.

Except for one or two Mongol leaders who were "determined to suppress thieves" such as Tengjir, most of the reorganized army arranged for Qin generals to take command step by step.

The leaders of the various departments were actually hollowed out, and they became the role of soy sauce in the army.

Although they have no doubts in their hearts, no one wants to be the first bird, and the person who comes out to provoke Ma Yongzhen first may be repaired.

Besides, it's not just yourself who handed over the soldiers and horses, there are 24 in total, everyone is the same, and if there are any problems, you don't just bear them.

And Ma Yongzhen even guaranteed in the name of Emperor Daqin that after successfully exterminating Norbu, all captured Daqin would not be wanted, and all would belong to all departments. At that time, it will be divided according to the number of troops sent by each department.

Hearing this assurance, all the leaders of the department danced with their eyebrows and their hearts were full of joy.

Norbu has just annexed Tushetu in Mobei and Tumut left and right wings in Monan, plus Norbu headquarters, how many cattle and sheep must there be.

They originally thought that Daqin would definitely take the big head, but now it's all ours.

It's exciting to think about.

This promise is really not a lie, Daqin doesn't look down on those cattle and sheep. It's just that for Daqin, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.

In a word, you are the people of Great Qin. Where else can your cattle and sheep go?

Ma Yongzhen spent a full five days to completely reorganize the soldiers and horses participating in the battle, and the 40,000 troops were divided into two routes, one under the command of Guo Yunlong, and they went to Bansheng and Naturalization to kill the two cities.

At this time, Qin Mu in Xijing also tried his best to disagree. For the time being, he gave up sending additional troops and horses to attack the Chitat in Hetao, and only allowed Su Jin's 10,000 troops to attack if they could, and if they couldn't attack, they would first take defense as a plan.

First of all, Qi Tate worked hard to dig in the feng shui treasure of Helan Mountain, and then he would dig his tomb deep enough.

Qin Mu's plan will not be changed by the flow of the Chitate Hetao, and will continue to take the total annihilation of the tens of thousands of troops of the first Khan as the primary goal. The 40,000-strong army led by Gao Yigong and others has reached Qinzhou (Tianshui).

Gushi Khan Tulu Baihu is not easy to match, and it is not easy to trap him.

In order not to startle the snake, and also considering that the army had traveled thousands of miles from Nanjing, and was indeed tired, Qin Mu ordered Gao Yigong and them to temporarily rest in Qinzhou. Recharge your batteries.

In this way, it may be very dangerous in Lintao, Taozhou, and Hezhou in Longyou, but as the saying goes, you can't give up your children and can't trap your wolves.

For quite a few years, in order to win the strategic initiative, Taizu was even willing to give up Yan'an Laochao.

Willing, willing, giving will be gained. This is definitely a wise saying.

Whether or not the first Khan can be completely annihilated is related to the long-term peace and stability of Hexi, Longyou, and western Sichuan, and whether or not he can take the opportunity to take Qinghai-Tibet. It can even be said that it is related to whether Daqin can win a hundred years of peace, and this battle can only succeed and cannot be defeated.

In order to encourage the soldiers, Qinzhou decided to recruit in person.

He is the emperor's signboard. In the Qin army, it is irreplaceable by others, even if he does not personally command the battle, as long as the imperial driver approaches the front line, it is also a great encouragement to the Qin army.

The seven-star Beidou is high. Geshu carries a knife at night.

So far, I have peeped at the herding horses and dare not pass Lintao.

In the Tang Dynasty, some people from the west wrote such impassioned poems to praise the town of Longyou at that time. The famous Goshuhan.

Lintao Mansion, Fuzhi Didao City is an important town in Longyou, the southern gate of Lanzhou, and the main road of the ancient Silk Road.

During the Tang Dynasty, Longyou Road was the frontier against the Tibetan army. After the Song Dynasty, Tubo was scattered and less of a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.

But now, with the entry of Gushi Khan into Qinghai-Tibet, the various Tibetan tribes have been basically unified, and it has once again posed a huge threat to the stability of Longyou.

Gushi Khan Tulubai Amber besieged Lanzhou and sent his generals to attack Lintao on that day.

At that time, there were only 7,000 troops, but after listening to the strategy of his adviser Su De, Gushi Khan sent 10,000 troops to reinforce him.

At this moment, under the city of Didao, Hu Ma hissed, the battle flag was like a cloud, and the murderous spirit was relying on the tomb.

Wu Qingfeng, the general of the Qin army who guarded Di Tao Mansion, only had 2,000 soldiers and horses, and fought fiercely for many days, with more than 500 casualties, and there were only 1,500 soldiers left in the city.

Sheng Huaide, the prefect of Lintao, and Li Bocun, the same knowledge, did not lose the city of Baodidao, and organized the young and strong people in the city to brave arrows and stones, repair the city walls, transport weapons, and fight together in the city when the war was critical.

The earth-shattering thunder, bullets, and cannonballs hoarded in the city were almost exhausted, and the two organized the craftsmen in the city to smash pots and sell iron to make weapons.

At the head of the north gate, the guard Wu Qingfeng was covered with bloodstains, he had not been down the city for many days, his face was stubble, his eyes were blood-red, and he was holding a monocular to observe the enemy camp outside the city.

The city is full of traces left by the explosion, still stained with blood, the corpses that have not been buried under the city are scattered and scattered, the air is full of thick gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of blood, and on the bare yellow earth, the arrows are like thorns, inserted into the ground.

Wu Changting, a personal soldier, had just bandaged the arrow wound on his left arm, and the bright red and blood were still seeping out, staining the state belt scarlet and dazzling.

Licking his chapped lips, he asked, "General, when will the reinforcements arrive?" The messenger asking for help has been sent several times, and it has been almost a month, and there is no shadow of reinforcements, does the court ignore us? ”

"Shut up!" Wang Qingfeng was afraid that his nonsense would mess up the morale of the army, so he immediately reprimanded, "Lintao is an important town in Longyou, the south gate of Lanzhou, how can the imperial court ignore it?" If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law. ”

"General, I'm not actually asking that, the brothers are talking about it in private, it's everyone who asked me to ask the general."

Wu Qingfeng frowned secretly, it was not surprising that the soldiers had some doubts, but he didn't know how to explain it.

The strategic location of Lintao is extremely important, once Lintao is lost, the southern gate of Lanzhou to communicate with Xijing is blocked by the enemy;

It is said that such an important city, no matter how slow the imperial court is, it should send reinforcements.

Half a month ago, he heard that Qin Zuoming led a thousand men and horses equipped with the most advanced Type 68 rifles and a lot of rockets to Qinzhou, but half a month later, Qin Zuoming's 1,000 men and horses just disappeared, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

Wu Qingfeng himself also wanted to find someone to ask, what the hell is going on?

"General, the enemy is attacking again!"

The adjutant general Song Baitao suddenly shouted, the air at the head of the city suddenly became tense, and the soldiers who were resting under the battlements jumped up to prepare for battle.

Wu Qingfeng hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked towards the north of the city, only to see hundreds of enemies, and sure enough, he pushed dozens of bed crossbows to press up. Seeing this, Wu Qingfeng immediately shouted: "Quick! Except for the lookout, the others immediately retreated to the city, quick! ”

The Mongols were different from other nomadic tribes, they were very good at learning, and it is said that they used the artillery technology they learned from the Western Expedition to break through the city of Xiangyang in the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and finally led the Southern Song Dynasty to its demise.

Now they have filled the thistle terrestris with explosives, ranging from five catties to ten catties, and hurled them into the city with bed crossbows, which were earth-shattering and lethal when they exploded.

There are not many artillery pieces in the city, only six. The walls were too narrow for artillery to be placed everywhere, and the enemy's bed crossbows moved lightly, so they could always find a dead spot in the city's artillery to attack.

Wu Qingfeng and the others had just retreated to the Tibetan Soldier Cave under the city, and the sparkling thistles outside the city were thrown into the sky, roaring and smashing into the city, and most of them fell into the city.

Rumble! Boom!

The sound of the explosion shook people's ears, and fireballs rose in the city, and the houses that were bombed collapsed with a bang, and the rocks flew and the smoke filled the air;

The cave was shaken and shaken, and the dust fell down, as if it might collapse at will.

All the soldiers of the Qin army covered their ears and squatted in the cave of the hidden soldiers, although they would not be injured, but letting the enemy bomb like this would be a very big blow to morale.

The sound of the explosion stopped for three to five minutes, and the head of the city and the inside of the city were blown to pieces, and then the sound of the horn sounded outside the city, and the watchmen who stayed at the head of the city also rang the gong of Bangbang.

"The enemy is attacking, get to the city! Hurry up to town! ”

When the generals of the Qin army heard the sound of the gong, they immediately roared, and one by one the Qin troops took their weapons, rushed out of the hidden soldier cave, and rushed to the city along the horse road.

Looking out of the city through the smoke of gunpowder, he saw that the enemy was like a dark cloud, quickly pressing towards the city wall, and bursts of shouts were like waves crashing on the shore, rushing to the face:

Ahh

Ahh
