- Chapter 455: Strategies to Destroy Tuqi Shi
Hundreds of Tuqishi prisoners were tied up and lined up in three rows surrounding Hanhai City. Behind each Tuqishi prisoner stood a fierce and sturdy executioner carrying a Mo knife.
Seeing what happened, the Tuqishi people guarding the city tower were shocked and began to make noises and panic. Kanli, the general of Tuqi Shi and the leader of a small tribe in Tuqi Shi, was horrified. He lay on the city wall and looked down at the three rows of Tuqi Shi people in front of the city who were about to be beheaded in public. His face turned red and ferocious.
"Kill out and save these people!"
"We have to fight out, we can't just watch our people die in front of us!"
"Damn Han people! They bully others too much!"
The soldiers of Shi's army on the city tower were in a state of confusion. Some were beating their chests and stamping their feet and shouting on their backs. Some were crying bitterly. Some were angry and roaring to fight out of the city. Kanli saw that the soldiers were in confusion. He couldn't help but turned around in anger and shouted: , "Shut up, everyone! What are you yelling about? This is a trick of the Han people, don't fall for them!"
"Close the city gates tightly and guard the city! There are tens of thousands of troops outside the city. If the city is broken, no one will survive! Get out!"
The soldiers of Tuqi Shi retreated with angrily expressions on their faces, but many generals were quite dissatisfied. The Tuqi Shiren are good at cavalry warfare, but this kind of thing of defending the city and waiting for reinforcements is not suitable for the Tuqi Shiren at all. Moreover, the emperor of the Chinese dynasty personally marched on the battlefield, and the troops were pressing down on the border. Tuqi Shi's main army had already returned to defend Tuqi Shi's homeland. How could there be any troops and horses to support Hanhai City.
The whimpering bugle sounded suddenly. In the military formation of the Han Navy outside the city, the flags were flying. Under the gorgeous crown in the middle, a heroic young man rode his horse and whipped his whip. There were countless guards in front of him and behind him.
Kanli looked intently and his heart sank: Looking at this posture, does it look like the Emperor of China is in the army outside the city? The Tuqishi people have been dealing with Han people and Han armies for many years, and they know the etiquette, regulations and uniform colors of the Han people. Only the emperor is qualified to use bright yellow, and only the emperor has the corresponding gorgeous crown.
"It's broken. If the Chinese emperor is in the army, it means that the Chinese dynasty's army has arrived, then Hanhai City really cannot be saved" Kanli sorted out his messy thoughts in fear, let alone ordinary soldiers, he The general had the idea of ????escape at this moment.
Kanli took a step back, but he heard the drums of the Han Navy outside the city rising to the sky.
Suddenly. The sound of military drums suddenly stopped, and a horse rushed out from the army. He shouted in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has a decree to behead all the thieves who invade the trade routes, rob merchants and invade our territory!"
"Behead!"
As Nan Jiyun's military flag was waving, hundreds of gleaming Mo Dao were raised high and then fell solemnly. Bloody light burst out as the sword flashed. The heads of hundreds of Tuqi Shithief soldiers rolled to the ground. Their movements were uniform and so fast that these decapitated Tuqi Shithief soldiers did not even have time to scream in agony before they died.
"ah!"
"Hateful!"
On the contrary, the soldiers riding on the tower suddenly covered their faces and screamed in agony. Some of them angrily threw the scimitars in their hands off the tower. It fell far away on the grass in front of the city.
In the city, Shi's soldiers were rushing back and forth, roaring and restless, and the army almost lost control. The calls for leaving the city to fight to the death with Han Haijun became louder and louder.
Kanli didn¡¯t have time to react. After controlling the army, the middle and lower-level generals of Tuqishi, who had already lost control of their emotions, led their soldiers, shouted and cursed, opened the city gate, and rushed out.
Seeing Tu Qi Shi Kaicheng going out to fight, Nan Jiyun smiled coldly, raised his hands and shouted, "We have all the divine troops. Let's attack with thunderous thunder!"
Hundreds of thunderbolts flew over and landed at the city gate. There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the more than a thousand Tuqi soldiers who had just charged out were knocked upside down by the explosion.
Smoke and dust are everywhere. Zhang Xuan raised his sword high in the middle of the army and shouted, "Sons of the Han Navy, kill! Pass my decree, rush into the Hanhai City, kill the one with the most thieves, the knight, and the general, and reward him with hundreds of coins." !¡±
The 20,000 Hanhai navy soldiers, who could no longer restrain themselves, charged into the city with all their might, brandishing swords and guns, and started a fierce city defense battle with the Tuqi Shi rebel soldiers trapped in Hanhai City.
The Tuqi Shi military horses are mainly cavalry, with almost no infantry. In the city, the war horses could not escape the attack, so the cavalrymen could only hurriedly wave their scimitars and engage in foot combat with Han Haijun. But if it is a face-to-face infantry battle, although the Tuqi Shiren are tough, they are no match for the more dexterous and well-trained Hanhai soldiers.
The battle ended an hour later. All 8,000 Tuqishi people were annihilated on the spot by the Han navy, except for Kanli who led hundreds of cavalry to rush out of the city and fled to the Tuqishi mainland. The number of casualties among the Han navy was less than 2,000.?It can be described as a brilliant victory.
During dusk and sunset, the air of Hanhai City is filled with a faint smell of blood. Under the protection of the guards, Zhang Xuan rode into the city and climbed directly onto the tower. After looking in the direction of Yiwu for a moment, Zhang Xuan calmly turned back to look at Nan Jiyun and Han Navy Admiral Sun Ting and said solemnly, "Give me the order to rest on the spot in Hanhai City and wait for the main force of our army, Nan Ba, to send people to the army. I was summoned and ordered Guo Ziyi to speed up and march towards Hanhai City!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey the order." Nan Jiyun bowed to accept the order and went down to summon him.
Sun Ting stood behind Zhang Xuan respectfully.
Zhang Xuan glanced at him. After this battle, he discovered that Sun Ting, a middle-level general, was also a talent. Whether it is his ability to command on the spot or his courage to fight without fear of death, he can be regarded as a good general.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Xuan said calmly, "Sun Ting, what do you think? This battle proved that Han Haijun had the ability to defeat Tuqi Shiren, but you retreated without a fight, which greatly embarrassed the imperial court and almost ruined your life." The entire Beiting Protectorate!"
Sun Ting bowed silently, "The general will finally be convicted!"
"That's all, it's the time for the imperial court to hire people. Sun Ting, you can follow me on the western expedition and join Guo Ziyi's army to obey my orders!"
As soon as Zhang Xuan said these words, Sun Ting was ecstatic. Knowing that it was the emperor who supported him, he knelt on the ground with a bang and said loudly, "I will die in the service of your majesty!"
He is just a mid-level general in the Han Navy, but when he joins the Western Expeditionary Army, he will definitely become the commander-in-chief of an army. If he achieves military merit again in the Western Expedition, it is not impossible to be granted the title of marquis and become a general.
¡¡
¡¡
Zhang Xuan captured Cheng Qianli and personally led 20,000 Han navy troops to attack Hanhai City. When the news of the great victory reached the army, Guo Ziyi was leading the army to enter Yiwu. After receiving the emperor's order to rest and recuperate in Yiwu, Guo Ziyi led his army and set off towards Hanhai City.
Five days later, hundreds of thousands of troops arrived at Hanhai City. certainly. On the way, Pugu Huai'en led his 20,000 flying leopard troops into Barkol City, took over Cheng Qianli's authority, and became the top military and political officer of Beiting.
According to the original plan, Zhang Xuan was to lead the Western Expedition to Qiuci, where he would hold a grand gathering of all the Hu kings in the Western Regions to pay homage to the Khan. He therefore announced a decree to remove the titles of the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions while retaining their thrones and titles. . All the areas under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate were incorporated into the administrative system of Dao, Prefecture, and County on the same level as the Central Plains.
But Zhang Xuan changes according to the situation. It was temporarily decided to detour to the northwest, first destroy Tuqishi, and then determine the Western Region. Judging from the current situation, if the evil force Tuqishi is not eliminated, it will be difficult for the Western Region to gain real stability. Although the Arabs are eyeing the Western Regions. But after all, the Arabs have not yet really intervened under the Congling. The real effective threat to the Chinese dynasty's governance of the Western Regions is the Tuqishi people.
The Tuqishi are a branch of the Western Turks. They have a strong national power and a vast territory, occupying the entire middle section of the Silk Road. It has a strength of more than 100,000 cavalry, or even more. Although the Tuqishi people have always been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty, they actually don't listen to the greetings very much, and rebellion is commonplace.
Now the Tuqishi people are close to the Arabs. Even more arrogant.
Zhang Xuan sits on top of the commander's mansion in Hanhai City, and the generals are arranged in two rows.
In fact, the emperor's plan to attack the Tuqi Shiren did not exceed Guo Ziyi and others' expectations. The Tuqishi people are now so rampant in the Western Regions, burning, killing, looting and seizing territory. If the Tuqishi people are not destroyed, the stability of the Western Regions will be empty talk.
"Your Majesty, there are ten major tribes in Tuqishi. They are all under the command of the Fire-Turking Immortal Khan, and their military strength is about 100,000 horses. According to the news, the Tuqishi people have returned all their troops to Tuqishi's homeland and laid out their plans. He has adopted a posture of fighting to the death with our army."
Guo Ziyi clasped his fists and said loudly. "Your Majesty, the Tuqi Shi cavalry is strong and the terrain is advantageous. It is not suitable for our army to confront them head-on. In my opinion, it is better to block the country with troops, cut off its food, grass and baggage, and make it internally unstable. Defeated in battle."
Guo Ziyi¡¯s strategy cannot be said to be wrong. It is steady and risk-free, but it obviously takes a long time.
Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although what Prime Minister Guo said is reasonable, I can't wait that long. Moreover, I am raising a large army to march westward, and the cannibals must be prepared. If it takes too long, I If the army attacks the top of Coong Ridge, it will definitely be very passive in a battle with the giant cannibals."
"Therefore, I decided to pacify Tuqishi within three months."
Zhang Xuan waved his hands suddenly. Although his voice was low, there was no doubt that it was strong and powerful.
Guo Ziyi and other generals looked at each other with some doubts in their hearts.
The tuqi service is no better than that of the small countries in the Western Regions.With hundreds of thousands and more than 100,000 cavalry, it is considered a big country. The Tuqishi people are supported by Dashi, and the Chinese army has come from afar. It seems impossible to destroy Tuqishi within three months.
Seeing the doubts on the faces of Guo Ziyi and others, Zhang Xuan smiled calmly and said, "I have ordered Feng Changqing's Anxi army to rush to attack Qishi from the west, and I will lead the army in the center to attack frontally. As for the east side, I will try to let Ge Luo The Lu people raised their troops to help the battle."
"Ge Luolu?" Guo Ziyi's heart moved, but immediately felt that it was a bit unreliable. This Geluolu is also a Turk. It would be too difficult for the Geluolu people to send troops to attack Tuqishi.
"Your Majesty, the Geluolu people have always been dissatisfied with the control of the imperial court. It may not be easy for your majesty to ask the Geluolu people to send troops to attack Tuqishi." Nan Jiyun suddenly came out to announce.
As soon as Nan Jiyun's words came out, he immediately received responses from Guo Ziyi and others.
Zhang Xuan suddenly laughed. He looked at Nan Jiyun and said softly, "Nan Ba, I am preparing to send people to Geluolu to persuade the Geluolu people to send troops to help. Let's do this. You will lead an army of 10,000 and go out as an envoy. Ge Luolu, by the way, send back Ge Luolu¡¯s concubine Zhenli.¡±
"Tell the Geluolu people that I have ordered Huihe Khan Guli Peiluo to raise his troops from Mobei and go north. If the Geluolu people do not accept the king's transformation, then I will destroy Geluolu first. I want to take a look. To destroy Ge Luolu, will Tuqi Shiren rush to help?"
Guo Ziyi trembled in her heart, and a look of awe appeared on her face involuntarily. It turns out that when the emperor was in Liangzhou, he had already made comprehensive arrangements and plans for the war situation in the Western Regions. He had already decided to threaten Geluolu and destroy Tuqishi, so he asked Huihe Khan to lead his army to feint attack Geluolu in advance. , putting huge pressure on the Geluolu people.
In this way, regardless of whether the Geluolu people send troops or not, they will be eaten by the emperor. It's just that the form of eating is different, the difference between forceful destruction and peaceful evolution.
"Yes, I will obey the order!" Nan Jiyun knelt on the ground.
And Guo Ziyi was the first to bow down. He shouted, "Your Majesty is wise, far-sighted, and plans before taking action. I admire you greatly!"
¡¡
¡¡
The decisive battle between the Chinese army and Tu Qishi is imminent, and the situation in the entire Western Region and Beiting appears to be very delicate and tense. The trade routes of the Silk Road are temporarily closed, and there is actually no need for troops to close them. Hu merchants or merchants from the Central Plains all stayed and gathered in a certain safe area, anxiously waiting for the outcome of the war between the two countries.
The red sun is high.
The two imperial concubines, Li Tengkong and Guo Fu, personally saw off Zhenli. This Tuqishi woman was rescued by the emperor from Yiwu City. It turned out to be the newly married princess of Geluolu Yehu Tiejin - the daughter of the noble Tuqishi, which surprised Li Tengkong and his two daughters.
"The two women didn't even know how the emperor knew the true identity of Zhenli, but they didn't know that it was Princess Zhenli who took the initiative to come to the emperor and confess her identity. He also offered to help the emperor persuade Ge Luolu to send troops to attack Tuqishi. He also stated that among the ten major tribes in Tuqishi, three major tribes strongly opposed being enemies of the Chinese dynasty and took refuge in the cannibals.
Zhang Xuanxin did not fully believe what she said. He didn't even probe too deeply. As the new princess of King Geluolu, how did Zhenli fall into the hands of an ordinary barbarian? Because none of this matters. Regardless of the situation of the Tuqi Shiren, regardless of whether Zhenli has the ability to persuade Geluolu Yehu to send troops, it is not the key to the problem - the key to the problem is. The Geluolu people had no choice.
Zhang Xuan has always held the chips of fate in his own hands.
He has already started to intimidate and coerce the Geluolu people. The Uighur prince Ge Le led the Uighur cavalry into the Western Region with the army, while the Khan's bone strength Peluo led the entire Uighur nation to move north towards Geluolu. The Geluolu people are not fools. If they are simply Uighurs, they are not afraid. However, the Uighurs are just pawns of the Chinese emperor. The real threat comes from the hundreds of thousands of Western Expedition troops.
"Princess Zhenli, we are going to Geluolu. Hundreds of miles away, I and Concubine Duan will send you here. Take care of yourself along the way." Li Tengkong and Guo Fu dismounted from their horses lightly and waved to Zhenli.
¹@Àö look excited. Kneeling on the ground, she said with a trembling voice, "Zhangli will never forget the life-saving grace of your majesty and the two empresses until her death. When she returns to Geluolu, she will definitely persuade Geluolu to protect Ye Jin, be loyal to your majesty, and send troops to help in the battle." .¡±
¹@Àö¡¯s eyes are clear.
It is true that she is from Tuqishi, and she is also the daughter of the leader of a large tribe in Tuqishi. The reason why Tuqishi, a large tribe, married Ge Luolu was to resist the increasingly domineering and powerful Tuqishi Khan, the Fire-Tumbling Immortal. Among the Tuqisi people, many people strongly opposed the Fire-Spittering Immortal to join the cannibals and become enemies of the Chinese dynasty. They believed that the Fire-Tubing Immortal was seeking his own death and was also inviting wolves into the house.
andCompared with the Chinese dynasty, the ambitious cannibals are more terrifying. Given time, the cannibals will definitely attack the Western Regions on a large scale, and when that time comes, Tuqishi will be the first to bear the brunt of the attack and the country will be destroyed.
After marrying Ge Luolu, Yanli led her slave guards to leave the royal court for a hunting trip one day. They were scattered by the cavalry and had to flee in embarrassment to the depths of the North Courtyard under the protection of the guards. And just outside Barkol, they encountered a sudden cavalry bandit again. All of Jianli's guards were killed and wounded, and she accidentally fell into the hands of a foreigner from the Western Regions.
Seeing her beauty, the barbarian wanted to marry her as his concubine, but Jingli refused to do so. In anger, the Hu people sold her to another Hu businessman. Within half a year, she wandered around in many places until she met Zhang Xuan and her group and was rescued.
Li Tengkong and Guo Fu looked at each other, then Li Tengkong leaned over to help Zhenli up and said with a smile, "Princess Zhenli, Your Majesty did not save you for any reward. As for the matter of Ge Luolu, just do your best."
Li Tengkong¡¯s meaning is very clear. Whether Ge Luolu sends troops or not has little to do with you. You, a fleeing princess, may not have much influence. What really makes the Geluolu people obey is the powerful force.
Zhang Xuan is definitely not bluffing. He had already made full mental preparations. Once the Geluolu people did not listen to the greetings, he immediately ordered Guo Ziyi to raise his troops to attack, and he would attack the Geluolu front and back with the strong-armed Pei Luo to destroy Geluolu first. This can also solve the problem of a large amount of food and grass needed by the army.
Zhang Xuan is not afraid that Geluolu people are ignorant of current affairs.
The Geluolu people are different from Tuqishi in that they are relatively weak. For Zhang Xuan, eating tens of thousands of troops was like searching for something.
It¡¯s just that if Ge Luolu can be recovered peacefully, it will have a very significant positive impact. This will directly produce a strong radiation effect, which will be of great benefit to Zhang Xuan¡¯s future plan to remove the title of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
Therefore, it is best not to use force.
¹@Àö was silent, her face flushed.
She is also a smart woman, so she naturally understands the meaning of Li Tengkong's words.
She was silent for a moment, then bowed to Li Tengkong and Guo Fu again, "Two ladies, farewell Li!"
¹@Àö turned around, mounted her horse and galloped away first.
And behind her, Nan Jiyun's 10,000 Shence Army cavalry were ready to go.
"General Nan, take care of yourself on your way." Guo Fu nodded to Nan Jiyun.
Nan Jiyun bowed deeply to Li Tengkong and Guo Fu, "Two ladies, I will take my leave at this point! Please tell your majesty that I will go to Geluo Luding to fulfill my mission!" - Didn't finish reading?
