Chapter 165: Fighting Spirit

When Li Ye arrived at Balasagon City, he was walking with the main force of the Wolf Tooth Army, and at this time, Chu Zheng and his vanguard of 30,000 horsemen had already swept away the Black Khanate's military strength on the periphery of the city.

"The cavalry of the Black Khanate came out and fought three battles with the last general, but they were all beaten back by the last general, and in the last moment, the last general beheaded their heavy cavalry general, and since then the gate of Broken Leaf City has been completely closed, and no one has come out again. ”

When Chu Zheng followed Shangguan Chengcheng to return to the military situation, he did not have half a sense of complacency, only a relaxed and natural face. Obviously, for him, although the wolf tooth army led by him was only 30,000, he had to be able to sweep away the Black Khanate army in Shattered Leaf City.

"This is the capital of the Black Khanate, where the most elite troops of the Black Khanate are concentrated, the most commendable of which is the Guards established by Satuk, which is highly disciplined, powerful, and has many monks. Its system is modeled after the Great Food Ghulam Guard, so it is considered the Black Khanate-style Ghulam Guard. ”

After Chu Zheng retreated, Shangguan Chengcheng said to Li Ye, "Satuk was injured a little in He Hunting City, and he has been living in the depths since he fled back to Broken Leaf City. ”

Li Ye looked at Broken Leaf City, his eyes full of emotion. It is not only one of the four towns of Anxi, but also the seat of the Anxi Protectorate several times, which was also the heyday of the Tang army's continuous westward expansion across the Seven River Valleys. It can be said that Broken Leaf City has witnessed the most dazzling glory of the Tang Dynasty.

He didn't pay much attention to the Gulam Guards mentioned by Shangguan Allure. If you really want to talk about this, the Chang'an Forbidden Army is equivalent to the guards of the Tang Dynasty, and the Wolf Tooth Army is the guards of the guards.

"In addition to the Ghulam Guard, there are more than 200,000 troops of the Black Khanate in Broken Leaf City, including the tribal armies of the leaders of various tribes. ”

Shangguan Chengcheng said: "The Western Regions Commercial Bank has made some arrangements in advance, but Broken Leaf City is the capital of the Black Khanate, and the Crescent Sect here is powerful, and Lu Luw, the leader of the Sample Mill Sect who could have been used for internal aid, has been designed by Zhang Changan to get rid of it because he wavered at the critical moment, so now there is not much strength in the city." ”

Li Ye disagreed, "Of course it's good to have internal responses, and there's no need to be sorry if you don't." ”

Broken Leaf City really has no internal response, and it can't be like Barth Khan City, where the Wolf Tooth Army fights outside, and Yeluo rebels inside, so as to quickly loot the city.

However, in other cities of the Black Khanate, the power of the Western Regions trading houses is stronger than that of Broken Leaf City, and in the battle of He Hunting City, in order to lure and ambush the Tang monks, Kusu Nadine recruited many priests from various cities to set up ambushes, but as a result, he was defeated in He Hunting City, not to mention, the strength of the Supervision Yuan in the cities of the Black Khanate was also greatly weakened.

At this time, in Broken Leaf City in advance, relying on the clues provided by Zhang Changan, he stared at the Tang Dynasty monk, the chief priest of the Supervision Academy, and launched actions in various cities one after another.

After a period of tracking and surveillance, most of the Great Tang monks who scattered into the cities found out the details of the masters of the priest realm of the Supervision Yuan in each city, including their residences, some preferences, and so on.

What Kusu Nadine didn't know was that when he was complacent in He Hunting City and was about to trap and kill the Great Monk of the Tang Dynasty, the shamans of the Supervision Yuan in the cities of the Black Khanate under his command had already been raided one by one.

The difference is that the operation of Kusu Nadine in He Hunting City failed, while the actions of the Great Tang monks in each city were basically successful. So today, the Inspectorate in the cities of the Black Khanate is already in chaos.

The men of the Western Regions Trading House hung the heads of the priests of the Supervision Court on display at the head of the city. This caused panic in the Supervision Yuan, and also made those spy forces who had been bought, rebelled, or coerced by the Western Regions Commercial Banks clearly realize the strength of Datang.

When the monks from the Western Regions Trading House came to the door again, most of them were respectful, not much different from the situation in the night.

Because of this, the results of years of hard work of the Western Regions Commercial Bank arrived in the Tang Army

Before coming, it was consolidated.

It is conceivable what kind of scene the battles in the cities of the Black Khanate will be when the Tang army arrives.

These spy forces of the Black Khanate may not be as strong as the night gap and cannot have such a great effect, but even if it is just to open a city gate for the Tang army, or at the beginning of the battle, create some chaos in the city, and cooperate with the strong combat power of the Tang army in the front, it is enough to make the battle end quickly.

The Tang army is not all pure qi cultivation monk army, with such an arrangement, the cities have rapidly changed the banner of the king at the head of the city one after another, and under the general trend, the resistance of the Black Khanate will be much smaller, and the war will end quickly, and the casualties of the Tang soldiers will be much less.

Moreover, after the Tang army occupied the city, these spy forces came forward to appease the people, and order in various places could be restored immediately, and they could understand the situation in each city, and they could also provide more grain and wealth for the Tang army. The most important thing is that if the Tang army continues to move west, there is no need to worry about the Black Khanate behind it.

Those Black Khanate spy forces who either took the initiative, or half-pushed, or were coerced and lured to the side of the Tang Army, in order to protect their own lives, will also do their best to protect the Tang Dynasty.

All of this was the basis for the Tang Army's smooth westward expedition.

Li Ye looked at Broken Leaf City and said: "From ancient times to the present, cavalry is not used to attack the city, and it stands to reason that Broken Leaf City should not be attacked by the Wolf Tooth Army." But times are different, and the face of war must always change. Those Black Khanate soldiers in Shattered Leaf City are not qualified to wrestle with the Wolf Tooth Army. Prepare, the army rests today, and tomorrow will attack the city. ”

Shangguan Allure clenched his fists: "The minister receives the order!"

In Broken Leaf City, Olguchak, the Khan of the Black Khanate, sat on the edge of Satuk's bed, looking at each other with a worried expression, "I didn't expect your injuries to be so serious, and you haven't fully recovered after coming back from He Hunting City for so many days."

"Now that 100,000 Tang army elite horsemen have camped outside the city, it is conceivable that more Tang troops will come in the future, I need you to cheer up and lead the warriors of Qarakhanid to defend their homeland!"

Satuk's face was ashen, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of energy. The importance in Khan's words was enough to excite any official, but it obviously did not have such an effect on Satuq.

"Khan, has your messenger for help from the true gods brought back good news?" Satuk did not respond to Olguchak's question, but asked the question with an eager expression.

Olguchak frowned slightly, "I have already sent an envoy to bring the news of the Tang army's sudden attack on Qarakhanid to the Great Food Caliph. I'm sure he'll be able to deal with it soon.

"However, Satuq, although the Tang army is in the city, there are not many troops, and now there are only about 100,000, and all of them are cavalry, we have enough strength to defeat them, and we don't have to wait for reinforcements from the caliphate. Your Guard"

Speaking of which, Olguchak did not continue, but the meaning was already obvious.

The Guards were created by Satuk and are now in the hands of the other side, and without his consent, even Olguchak will not be able to make him obey his orders for no reason.

Satuk's face was gloomy: "It's useless, the Guards are not the opponent of the Don Army." ”

"How is this possible? The Guards are all monks!" Olguchak sank his face, obviously thinking that this was Satuk's excuse, "No matter how strong the Tang Army is, it can't even stop the Guards?"

"The Tang army is all Qi cultivators!" Thinking of the battle of He Hunting City, the most amazing and brilliant handsome man of the Black Khanate, he couldn't help but be full of horror and fear, "It is impossible for the Guards to defeat them!"

"Are they all Qi cultivators?100,000 people?" Olguchak's eyes showed coldness, this seemed to him to be simply nonsense, he had seen Chu Zheng's troops fight when they were fighting, and 30,000 people were indeed Qi cultivators

Shi, this has already shocked him very much, to say that the 100,000 Tang Army are all Qi cultivators, he definitely doesn't believe it.

"Order the Guards to go into battle, we must take advantage of the fact that the Tang army brigade has not arrived, and defeat this group of Tang cavalry, so that Barasagon can be safe and sound!" Orguchak ordered in a deep voice.

"Khan! You are sending the guards to death! Believe me, Khan, the Tang army is far more powerful than we imagined! Not only are they all Qi cultivators, but the magic weapons in the army are extremely sharp, which is beyond our knowledge!"

Satuk did it all at once, "Guarding the city and waiting for help is the best way to deal with it!"

Olguchak didn't argue with Satuk anymore, he turned away with a cold face, "Satuk, not only are you physically injured, but your mind is no longer clear, in this case, the Guards can no longer be controlled by you. I will take over the Guards for the time being, gather all the great monks of the Qarakhanid, and go to defeat the Tang army! As for you, take a good rest. ”

Looking at the back of Olguchak's departure, Satuk's heart sank to the bottom.

It was as if he had seen the corpses of the Guards strewn across the field, and it made him tremble with fear.

In fact, his injuries had already healed, and the reason why he pretended to be sick was because he knew that with Olguchak's heart, the other party would force the guards to fight. No king would tolerate being a turtle with a shrunken head after being approached by 100,000 soldiers, especially when he felt that he was in control.

Satuk thought he could drag it to the aid of the Great Food Army. After all, the Black Khanate has many armies, and as long as Barasagon holds out for a while, the divisions of King Qin in each city will arrive, and at that time, even if the follow-up army of the Tang army arrives, the situation may be barely stabilized.

But he did not expect that Olguchak would forcibly take away the command of the Guards.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that in the other party's heart, he was afraid that in the other party's heart, he had already been too powerful and too big to lose, and he had to cut off his wings. And taking away the Guards is undoubtedly the best option.

His own pretending to be sick just gave Olguchak an excuse, after all, the enemy army was in front, and there was no reason for the most elite army not to fight and defend their homeland.

At this moment, Satuk's heart was like ashes, and he muttered in despair: "Khan, you don't know what kind of existence the Tang Army you are facing. Then it's not ordinary people, but a group of devils! The Guards are going to be finished, and so is the city of Barasagon. ”

Suddenly, his eyebrows narrowed, he got up from the bed suddenly, gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, collect your family's assets, and be ready to break through at any time!"

He had already made up his mind that if the situation was not right, he would flee for his life to the west in search of the blessings of the Great Food.

After the battle of He Hunting City, he no longer had the courage to face the Tang army, because he knew that it was just looking for death, and if the guards were defeated by the Tang army, then he could only flee with his entourage.

When Li Ye saw more than two hundred great monks rising into the sky in the Broken Leaf City, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the majestic figure in gold armor at the head of the city looked dumbfounded, presumably it was Olguchak.

"It seems that we don't have to wait for tomorrow's siege, we can take this city today. ”

Li Ye turned back to Shangguan and pointed to Olguchak at the head of the city, "This is a brave king, but it's a pity that because of limited knowledge, it seems that his brain is a little difficult." ”

He knew something that no one else knew. A few years later, Satuk staged a coup d'Γ©tat, relied on the Guards in his hands, ousted Olguchak from power, became the Khan of the Black Khanate, and led his country to expand its territory and become a generation of heroes.

It's a pity that the situation is different now, and the Guards that made him famous may never have the opportunity to crisscross the four directions again.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
