Chapter 467: Huo Xun¡¯s country is destroyed, on the eve of the decisive battle
People in the Huoxun Kingdom are in panic, and the entire city of Khiva is on guard, entering a state of war. """"However, how could Huo Xunguo's 10,000 troops withstand the iron hoof of China's 300,000-strong army? As long as the emperor gives an order, the 300,000-strong army can attack with brute force and raze Shiva City, the city of Huoxun King, to the ground.
"Report! Prime Minister Zhang, please report urgently!"
The urgent and high-pitched voice of the messenger came from behind.
Guo Ziyi suddenly turned around, waved her hand, and shouted, "Send it up!"
Guo Ziyi took Zhang Xun's report from the messenger, glanced at it, and then reported to the emperor respectfully, "Your Majesty, Zhang Xun has arrived in Qiuci, and is in charge of dispatching the food, grass and baggage of my hundreds of thousands of troops."
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Zhang Xun is the general logistics officer of the entire Western Expedition army, responsible for the army's grain and grass transportation and baggage transportation. Hundreds of thousands of troops fought on the front line, and behind them there were also hundreds of thousands of civilian laborers who continuously transported grain, grass and baggage from all over the world. Liangzhou served as the first transfer station, and then Qiuci in the Western Regions.
The Chinese dynasty mobilized the whole country to support the emperor's personal campaign, and the expenditure of manpower and material resources was naturally immeasurable. After only temporary consumption, the Chinese Empire can gain a large amount of territory, and will have decades or even hundreds of years of stable development. In the long run, although the cost of this war is huge, the results are very fruitful.
With personal efforts and temporary contributions, we can gain prosperity and peace for future generations. This is Zhang Xuan's plan.
As Zhang Xuan¡¯s army front moved forward, the focus of logistics supplies also moved forward. It was reasonable for Zhang Xun to rush from Liangzhou to Qiuci and take command personally.
But Guo Ziyi hesitated to speak. It was obvious that Zhang Xun's urgent report from Qiuci was not just to report on the logistics and baggage matters, but also had other important matters.
Zhang Xuan glanced at Guo Ziyi, took a cup of hot tea from Guo Fu beside him, took a careful sip, and then said lightly, "Mr. Guo, tell me what you have to say. What else did Zhang Xun report?"
"Back to your majesty, in accordance with your majesty's previous orders, Zhang Xuan dumped all the firearms stored in the Lingzhou Firearms Department and transported them to the Western Regions. The first batch has already arrived in the army. In addition, tens of thousands of dry land mines were developed according to your majesty's drawings. The coins have also been transported to the army. Because they are confidential, they are temporarily stored in Talas City. How to deal with them, please let your Majesty know clearly."
Guo Ziyi said softly.
Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows, and a hint of joy flashed between his eyebrows.
Limited to the backwardness of productivity and technology level in this era, Zhang Xuan could not invent a powerful artillery piece anyway. However, relatively simple explosive firearms, such as the previous Sky-Shaking Thunder and the newly developed dry land mine, are possible.
In order to win this war, Zhang Xuan risked his life. The Firearms Department increased its horsepower and produced at full capacity, and all stored firearms were transported to the military. Regardless of cost, they were equipped to every centurion to bring into play the effectiveness of the human sea tactics of firearms.
"Okay, very good. Lei Wanchun!" Zhang Xuan shouted.
"The general is here!" Lei Wanchun turned his horse's head and galloped over. He bowed on the horse and said, "Your Majesty!"
"You lead 20,000 people, quickly return to Talas City, and escort all the firearms to the camp. Make sure there is no mistake!"
"The general will obey the order! Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Although Lei Wanchun was very nervous, he kept his eyes wide open when it came to this kind of military affairs and did not dare to show any neglect.
"Xiang Guo, please continue."
With that said, Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted. Guo Fu also got off her horse and followed Zhang Xuan forward.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and reached over. Guo Fu's pretty face turned red. She couldn't help but glance back at her father. Seeing that Guo Ziyi pretended not to see anything, she plucked up the courage to let the emperor hold his hand in public.
The two walked to a piece of grass and sat down cross-legged.
Guo Ziyi also got off his horse and came over with the Eighteen Iron Guards.
"Your Majesty"
"Why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it." Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "Also, has Guo Yao left Beijing?"
"The dog has left Beijing. I have nothing to repay His Majesty's favor." Guo Ziyi bowed down with tears of gratitude.
Zhang Xuan laughed, "You'd better tell me what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Xun's gourd."
Guo Ziyi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Xun reported that Chen Tong, the grandson of Chen Zaifu, embezzled more than 100 carts of military supplies and embezzled the father-in-law. After the incident, Zhang Xun did not dare to do anything. He specially reported to your majesty and asked him to punish him."
Zhang Xuan was shocked when she heard this? He stood up, his face changed drastically.
Chen Xilie's grandson Chen Tong was a close confidant who followed him to Longshuo from the very beginning. He had always been diligent and diligent. This time he led the expedition in person and specially transferred Chen Tong to assist Zhang Xun in logistics affairs. However, Chen Tong dared to Corruption?
Chen Tong was not only the emperor's confidant, but also the grandson of Chen Xilie, the first civil servant in the dynasty. Therefore, although Zhang Xun found out, he did not dare to attack Chen Tong.
Zhang Xuan¡¯s face darkened.
There was silence for a long time.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Guo Ziyi and sighed, "Mr. Guo, I thought that Chen Tong was mature, prudent, and diligent, and could be reused. So I have always cultivated him vigorously, but unexpectedly, at this moment, he has corrupted me for dozens of times. Food for thousands of armies"
"It's hateful, hateful, pathetic, and deplorable!" Zhang Xuan sighed sadly.
Guo Ziyi didn¡¯t dare to say a word.
"Only the emperor can give advice on how to deal with Chen Tong. Anyone who speaks will offend Chen Xilie."
Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, "Mr. Guo, convey my order, seal up the witnesses and physical evidence, and escort them to Beijing together with Chen Tong himself. This case will be handed over to Chen Xilie for trial, and we will deal with it on the day I return to Beijing."
"That's all, I'll order Chen Tong to go to Congling and come to the camp. I want to see him and ask him!"
As soon as Zhang Xuan¡¯s words came out of his mouth, he immediately changed his words.
He suddenly thought that this was a critical moment in the battle against Dashi. If Chen Tong alone caused a fire in his "backyard", wouldn't it be worth the loss? Let Chen Chuan come over and ask him personally. If the circumstances are not serious, he will be given a lighter sentence.
Zhang Xuan still understands the saying that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.
"Mr. Guo, let's not mention this matter. Tell Zhang Xun not to exaggerate it to the outside world."
"Yes, I obey the order." Guo Ziyi was about to leave to announce the order when he suddenly heard Zhang Xuan say again, "Mr. Guo, how long will it take for our army to surround Shiva City and destroy it?"
Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, although this city has high defenses, when our army arrives, Huoxun's horse will be unable to resist. I believe that by attacking the city from all sides, we can break it in two days at most."
"There is no need to attack the city, just besiege it. Send the order and cut off the water source in the city -" Zhang Xuan pointed at Shiva City and said calmly, "I want to see how many days the Huoxun people can hold on in the city. I want to use this method. Shiva is the main camp, waiting for the arrival of the food army and horses!"
"Yes, I obey the order." Guo Ziyi nodded generously and took the order.
¡¡
¡¡
The water source of Khiva city depends entirely on the Ham River. Because the Chinese army besieged the city, all the Huoxun people and their troops entered the city to defend it. The city was temporarily overcrowded and the demand for water was even greater.
You may be able to persist without food and grass, but if there is no water source, both the military morale and the morale of the people will be in chaos.
The Ham River was cut off by the Chinese army, and the water source of Khiva was suddenly lost.
On the third day, riots began in the city. On the fifth day, internal strife broke out in the city because of the competition for water. The civilians of Huoxun Kingdom had fierce conflicts with the army, so that the city was filled with flames and the screams and screams shook the earth.
On the sixth day, more than 10,000 Huoxunguo civilians snatched open the city gate from the army, escaped and surrendered to the Chinese army.
Seeing that the city gate was open, Guo Ziyi immediately ordered Nan Jiyun to lead Li Siye's Shence Army and Shenwu Army to rush into the city. Immediately, Uighur princes Gele and Kecha were also ordered to lead their 100,000 coalition troops to launch a fierce siege.
The Huoxun** cavalry army had long been distraught and dispersed. In addition, because the water source was cut off, the soldiers' combat effectiveness was extremely weak.
In less than an hour, the Chinese army and horses had all occupied Shiva City. The soldiers and horses of the Huoxun Kingdom were either killed or knelt down and surrendered, and the Huoxun Kingdom was destroyed.
Zhang Xuan led his army into the city and moved the army's command center to Khiva City.
In the north of the city, Nan Jiyun and Li Siye's 100,000 troops were encamped; in the south of the city, the Uighur and Zhaowu coalition forces were 100,000 strong, and the Feihu Army was holding down the formation with 100,000 troops.
With Shiva City as the center, Zhang Xuan set up a formation in Huo Xun Kingdom, waiting for the fateful battle with the cannibal.
Huo Xun's country was destroyed, and the urgent news that the Chinese army had invaded Dashi's territory was sent back to Dashi's country. The whole country of Dashi was shocked, and the Caliphate of Dashi was even more furious. From this, he realized that the huge empire called China in the East was also very powerful and posed a strong threat to Dashi.
The Great Food Vizier Ebule then quickly mobilized his troops and ordered General Meng Bai to take command. He led an elite army of 150,000 to 200,000 people out of Persia and rushed towards the direction of Huoxun Kingdom.
Zhang Xuan is not ready to let the army continue to invade the territory of Dashi, because the battle line is too long and the opponent?Logistics is a serious test. He wanted to wait for work in the area of ??Khiva City, waiting for the moment of decisive battle with Dashi's main force.
To the west of Khiva City is an empty plain. This area is flat and flat. It is a perfect battlefield for the battle between the two armies.
On top of the city tower, Zhang Xuan stood solemnly, raised his finger and pointed to the west, and said softly to Lei Wanchun, "Lei Wanchun, you lead your 50,000 troops to a must-see for the army and horses, a hundred miles away from Khiva City." On the way, bury tens of thousands of dry land mines in the ground, and put the fuses into the opened bamboo poles. Then you lead your army to ambush in the southwest, and wait for the opportunity to light the fuses and detonate the mines when the food army and horses pass by. "
"Li Siye, you lead an army of 50,000 in ambush in the northwest. When the thunder explodes in the dry land and the army and horses are in chaos, you and Lei Wanchun use drums as a signal to attack from both sides and rush towards the enemy. I am facing Your request is to break the formation of Da Shi¡¯s army and horses.¡±
"Yes, I will obey the order!" Li Siye and Lei Wanchun clasped their fists and bowed before accepting the order.
"Brother King Gele, we can check that you two led 90,000 troops and horses from our headquarters (10,000 casualties were captured in the capture of Shiva City) to support Lei Wanchun's tribe from the southwest. Nan Jiyun, you led 50,000 troops and horses from your headquarters to support Lei Wanchun from the northwest. Li Siye's Ministry. Guo Ziyi, you lead one hundred thousand troops and horses. When the battle begins, press all the troops from the center to fight the big cannibal to the death!"
