The crescent moon is hanging in the sky, and the entire Landu City is brightly lit and full of noise. Everyone in Landu City is cheering for victory
The offensive and defensive battle of Landu City ended with a great victory. In this battle, almost all the Turkic army's front troops were wiped out. Except for the seven or eight thousand cavalrymen who fled under the leadership of the former Turkic army commander Ji Li, the rest stayed outside Landu City.
Of the 130,000 soldiers, 120,000 failed to leave smoothly. In addition to more than 60,000 people who died in the siege battle, the remaining 60,000 Turkic soldiers were basically prisoners.
After the leaders of each department reported the results of the battle to Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun just said quietly: "The intact ones will be treated as slaves and moved to Zhao's land to work. As for the injured, we don't have that many medicinal materials to treat their injuries!"
It¡¯s a simple sentence, and all the generals understand its meaning. Immediately, among the 60,000 prisoners, 20,000 more seriously injured were executed by the Zhao army. The remaining 40,000 soldiers were moved into the Zhao states in batches by baggage teams and became slaves to pay the price for their southern invasion of Han.
After the war, the entire Land City was plunged into a sea of ??celebration. Whether it was the Landu tribe members in the city, the merchants from Zhao, or the other two soldiers, they were all caught up in the hilarity. After many days of hard fighting, the rain finally passed For ordinary people and businessmen, peace is the outcome they most hope for.
"My lord, this battle not only left behind 99% of the Turkic army in one fell swoop, but also harvested a large number of war horses and livestock." Zhang Yuanjing, who was responsible for statistics of the results, said with a smile, "Because at the end of this battle, the Turkic army Commander Ji Li fled directly. Therefore, we took over the entire Turkic army camp intact. Among them, we captured more than 70,000 fine war horses, more than 50,000 horses, and more than 200,000 cattle and sheep. "
"I think the loss of these war horses and livestock plus the loss of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is enough to make Xue Nie Khan and the leaders of the major tribes suffer unbearable pain." As he spoke, Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Li Chenfeng smiled and said: "With these 70,000 horses, all the cavalry of each army can be equipped."
Although it accommodated more than a hundred small and medium-sized tribes, it also obtained many war horses. However, the Ten Towns Army, the Eighth Guards Army, and the Young Guards all need to form two capital cavalry in each army. Therefore, the amount required is huge. In addition, in the heavy armored cavalry unit, a sergeant rides three horses. The cavalry of various armies are also making large reserves of fine war horses. Therefore, in terms of the demand for war horses, the generals of the Zhao army never have too many.
Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said: "War horses are indeed good things. However, my subordinates suggest that we choose suitable areas in each state to establish horse farms. In addition, the cattle and sheep seized this time are also good things. These more than 200,000 livestock, For us, it is much more important than among the Turkic army. The Turkic army uses cattle and sheep as food, while the Han people use them as living and agricultural tools. The enemy is weak, and we are strong. This battle is of great significance. Qian. I just don¡¯t know what the so-called Xue Nie Khan¡¯s expression will be when he learns the result of the battle, and I don¡¯t know if he can be provoked to go south this time.¡±
Zhao Xun said slowly: "It is best to go south. Let us fight him thoroughly and let the troops stationed in Bingzhou and Dingzhou enter the grassland. If we don't move, not only will the so-called Khan's reputation be reduced, but they will also gradually become Weak. After all, we, Zhao, are not a grassland people who need to plunder to grow."
¡¡¡¡
Geely was completely frightened as he ran all the way. At this moment, he no longer had the intention at the beginning to lead his army south and conquer the Zhao territory. For two days and two nights, Jili fled with seven to eight thousand defeated troops under his command, heading straight to the headquarters camp of the Turkic Army in the rear.
"Clang" There was a sound of something falling to the ground, followed by another roar: "What? There are only more than 8,000 soldiers left in the 140,000-strong army?"
"Where's Geely? Since all his subordinates are gone, what is he still doing alive? Come here, pull him down and kill him! What's the use of keeping this kind of trash?" Inside the golden tent of the main camp of the Turkic Army Headquarters, Xue Nie Khan The sound carried far away.
"Khan, calm down. We don't know the situation on the front line clearly yet. Can we not deal with it after asking? In addition, this battle was defeated and hundreds of thousands of warriors were lost. All the warriors under the tribal leaders were also lost. These are all things that we need to give The result will come out, and Geely is the best candidate. Someone needs to be responsible for the defeat," Zuo General Mo Huba said urgently. Mo Huba was also shocked when he heard that the forward army was defeated.
Xue Nie Khan almost vomited blood after asking someone to take the escaped Jili back to the golden tent for questioning. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in battle, which was definitely not what he wanted to see. Although I am not very satisfied with these more than 100,000 soldiers, I even hope that both them and Zhao Jun will suffer losses. But they definitely don't want their entire army to be wiped out by Zhao Jun, but Landu City failed to be captured. What made Xue Nie Khan even more angry was that Ji Li actually fled and left the entire camp in the hands of the Zhao army.
 "Waste, waste! Why don't you send someone to burn the camp to the ground? That's hundreds of thousands of horses and hundreds of thousands of livestock! You damn bastard, now they've all fallen into the hands of the Zhao army!" Xue Nian Khan's face was ashen. He scolded, "You are so good! We went to rob the other side, but in the end, our entire army was wiped out, and our belongings were captured by the other side. Come on, pull us down and keep a close eye on us! Wait until the leaders of the various ministries participating in the war arrive. Dispose of it!¡±
Although Geely insisted on fighting to the death with Zhao Jun in the past, he was still trusted by Xue Nie Khan. Ji Li had great trust in Xue Nie Khan and fought bravely. Therefore, his talent was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former army by Xue Nie Khan. But at this time, Ji Li's pitiful cry for mercy failed to move Xue Nie Khan's compassionate thoughts at all.
After waiting for Geely to be suppressed, Xue Nian Khan¡¯s gloomy face became even more ugly. After cursing secretly, he sighed to Mo Huba: "We miscalculated! In this battle, Ben Khan was careless. How could the leader of the Zhao army be dealt with by Ji Li, a reckless man? Ben Khan originally planned to let these more than 100,000 people not The warriors from various tribes who followed Ben Khan's military orders went to fight to the death with the Zhao army, but the result was that they were annexed by the Zhao army."
"Geely is a waste! For us, cattle, sheep and livestock are just daily food, but for Zhao Jun, they are their farming tools, which are of great significance to them. There are also war horses, Zhao Jun's armor and equipment. If you get a large number of war horses, it will be even more powerful. The behavior of the forward army is completely to provide help to Zhao Jun and help them strengthen themselves. "
"It can be said that these more than 200,000 livestock and nearly 100,000 horses are of far greater significance to Zhao Jun than defeating our forward army. This battle suffered a huge loss"
After sighing, Xue Nie Khan asked Mo Huba: "How is the situation in the east and southeast where we meet the Zhao army recently?" In order to coordinate the forward army's actions, Xue Nie Khan sent ten troops. More than ten thousand cavalrymen were active in the areas bordering the Turkic tribes in the northern part of Bingzhou and the western part of Dingzhou to contain the Zhao armies in the two places.
Mo Huba's face was slightly bitter, and he shook his head and said: "Back to the Great Khan, the situation is not good. In the southeast, in addition to the cities built by three large tribes that are dependent on Zhao Jun, there are also hundreds of thousands of Zhao Jun's troops. The army, our cavalry, had no chance of taking action against them."
"There, just like Landu City, several tribes attached to Zhao Jun built a city and jointly defended it with Zhao Jun. Moreover, according to reports from our soldiers, Zhao Jun also continued to move along Landu City and Yike City. , Lanxi City as the center of gravity, continue to build the city in the north, blocking us in the north of the nine tribes."
Mo Huba continued with a worried look on his face: "These cities, just like the ancient Great Wall in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou, have a great impact on us! Especially now that the Zhao army is extremely powerful, it is bound to be It will have an extremely negative impact on us. What is even more despicable is that according to the three cities including Landu City, Zhao Jun has expanded the Han territory hundreds of miles to the north. "
"In addition, in the far north of the east, the Shiwei tribe also began to assist the Zhao army in raiding our eastern tribes."
"Bang" Xue Nie Khan hit the long table in front of him with his palm, and said angrily: "Hateful! The Wei tribe in a small room dares to show their claws and claws to us, and they don't know whether to live or die! Wait until I defeat Zhao. After the army, the entire Shiwei tribe will be massacred."
"In this case, now we still need the whole army to go south! If we can capture or defeat King Zhao in Landu City, then the advantage that Zhao Jun currently has will no longer exist. What do you think?"
Mo Huba looked hesitant and said: "Great Khan, if we move here, then the Han Zhao army in Bingzhou and Dingzhou will follow suit. Once we leave this central area, our rear areas will The tribe and the rear flank of our headquarters are likely to be attacked by the Zhao army. "
"But what if we make a sudden move and suddenly capture Land City, and capture or defeat King Zhao? Will the Zhao armies from all over the country have the right to attack us again?" Xue Nie Khan asked in a cold voice.
Mo Huba opened his mouth but said nothing. However, he was not optimistic about attacking Zhao Jun again. Judging from the advance of the forward army, Zhao Jun has completely established a foothold in this grassland with the assistance and support of the nine major tribes and nearly a hundred small tribes. Taking action after this huge defeat has little chance of winning. In particular, enemy troops are everywhere around us. Once there is any accident, there will be unpredictable losses.
But at this moment, Xue Nie Khan had been defeated by the front line, suffered serious losses on his own side, and was forced by the increasing pressure of the Zhao army. He had to fight the Zhao army as soon as possible in the hope of defeating the Zhao army, and Mo Huba was unable to stop him.
"In this way, I personally commanded an army of 200,000 people to go south to Landu City and attack the city as quickly as possible. But the 100,000 generals who defeated him?, and cooperated with the 100,000 sergeants in various places to contain the Zhao army, and jointly defended the Zhao army in Bingzhou and Dingzhou. This Khan must capture Landu City as soon as possible, otherwise, our Turkic tribes will never have the chance to go south. For this operation, our Turkic tribes also paid a huge price, and we cannot just return without success. "Xue Nie Khan finally ordered.
"In addition, our army lost more than 100,000 soldiers in this battle, and the Land City must have suffered a lot of damage. In addition, their armor, equipment and city defense materials should have been almost consumed. This move of this Khan will definitely It will be a success.¡±
Immediately, Xue Nie Khan gathered 200,000 warriors, and the army went south, heading straight for Landu City. However, he did not know that Zhao Xun had been prepared to welcome the attack of Xue Nie Khan's army from the beginning. Therefore, not long after Xue Nie Khan mobilized his army, several pigeons flew back to Landu City with information.
"My lord, Khan Xue Nie has moved, and his 200,000 troops are coming to attack!" Zhang Yuanjing said in a deep voice.
"Whether it's moving or not, this time the 200,000 troops were defeated, so that the Turkic tribes and Xue Nie Khan no longer had the opportunity and strength to go south. Send an order to the whole city to prepare for battle. In addition, send troops to Bingzhou and Dingzhou Pass the message and let them take action. In addition, let the Shiwei tribe participate. I want to see if the Turkic tribes can withstand the incoming troops from all directions without the 400,000-strong army guarding them. said.
Knowing that the Turkic army was attacking again, the merchants and Landu tribesmen in the city were not worried. After all, a few days ago, more than 100,000 Turkic troops were all trapped here and returned in defeat. Now come again, what does Landucheng have to fear?
"Time is still too tight, otherwise, we can dig out the moat filled by the Turkic army again to block the enemy, delay time, and consume the strength of the Turkic army." Li Chenfeng said with some regret.
Zhang Yuanjing nodded and said: "There are indeed some, but even if there is no moat, we are not afraid of the so-called Xue Nie Khan and his 200,000-strong army."
Zhao asked: "By the way, the young men of the Landu tribe are temporarily recruited to participate in the war. Is there any problem?"
Li Chenfeng smiled and said: "No problem. In the past two days, we have recruited 30,000 young men. The young men of the Landu tribe are no less brave than the Turkic soldiers. Since the victory a few days ago, The lord's generous rewards, and now the warriors of the Landu tribe are all actively trying to join our army to join the war. If the requirements were not strict, we could recruit another 20,000 to 30,000 young men."
Zhao Xun nodded slightly and said: "Very good, 30,000 is enough. I need them to transport the materials to defend the city for us, and I need them to use their archery skills. The Turkic tribes are good at archery. Now that we have a good location and defend the city, naturally Make the most of your advantages.¡±
"In addition, we also need to be prepared for Zhentian Lei this time. Whether it is defending the city or counterattack, we must be prepared! Since Xue Nie Khan wants to have our idea, we naturally cannot let him down. This time, just Let him see how powerful I am, Da Zhao.¡±
The battle was faster and more violent than Zhao Xun and others expected. After four days of march, Xue Nie Khan's army arrived and set up camp under Landu City. After a night's rest, they launched a fierce attack the next day.
There was no moat to block this time, so the Turkic army directly attacked the city. In order to prevent the auspicious incident from happening again, Xue Nie Khan sent 50,000 cavalry to patrol outside the left and right acropolis. At the same time, he also sent out a large number of probing horse rangers to inspect the surrounding areas and conduct a strict investigation on the ambushes of the Zhao army.
The Turkic army directly attacked the city with an army of 50,000 people, with hundreds of ladders and many leather and wooden shields prepared. Moreover, the Turkic army launched a strong attack from the beginning of the siege. Each team of ten thousand people took turns to go into battle. They did not take the casualties into consideration at all, and they had the intention of not giving up until they broke the blue capital city.
In fact, the reason why the Turkic army attacked so fiercely, regardless of casualties, was because Xue Nie Khan needed to capture Landu City in the shortest possible time. Xue Nie Khan believed that Landu City must not have recovered after the battle a few days ago. And as long as he attacks with all his strength, the defenders will definitely not be able to hold on for long.
When the war began, in the initial period, the defenders did exactly what Xue Nie Khan expected. They only used arrows to shoot at each other and did not use other defensive materials on a large scale. Although the Zhao army's arrows and crossbows were sharp, they did not cause huge casualties to the Turkic army, and Xue Nie Khan could also afford the casualties.
Therefore, Xue Nie Khan asked his men to take turns going into battle, not caring about casualties at all. However, when more and more Turkic troops gathered outside the city and more and more Turkic troops climbed up, a large number of defensive equipment such as stone rolling logs, fire oil and gold juice suddenly appeared on Landu City, and Landu City was immediately overwhelmed. Nearly 10,000 Turkic soldiers were killed and wounded in the capital, which caused the morale of the entire Turkic army to siege the city to drop. After all, not everyone can ignore the scene of being burned by flames and scalded by golden juice. Miserable wailing and shockingThe shocking injuries were enough to make these siege soldiers feel frightened.
Seeing this situation, Xue Nie Khan suddenly felt cold and felt something bad. But he still suppressed his thoughts, thinking that there were not many supplies left to defend the city in Landu City.
But what happened next made Xue Nie Khan¡¯s face turn blue. There seemed to be endless supplies of defense materials on Lan Du City, being thrown down in a steady stream. Especially the kerosene and gold juice were simply an insurmountable gap for the siege soldiers. Gold juice is poisonous. If boiled and splashed, it will be enough to make the Turkic soldiers retreat under the siege ladders and city walls, and kerosene is the best weapon to block the siege soldiers from attacking the city.
"Attack! Continue, the next 10,000 troops will continue to attack! I don't believe it, my Turkic army of 200,000 people can't take down this broken city?"
"Warriors, show your courage, attack this place, and create a passage for us to go south"
"Warriors, attack this city and capture King Zhao alive. After breaking the city, you will be free to plunder for three days"
In order to encourage the soldiers to attack the city, Xue Nie Khan continued to issue various encouraging slogans and incentives, but he could not let his warriors break the city. Although he learned that Landu City's defense supplies were not scarce, he had no intention of giving up. Taking over Landu City and opening up the southbound passage is of great significance to Xue Nie.
However, Xue Nie Khan¡¯s army was much more powerful than Ji Li in attacking the city. Perhaps it was because there was no blockage in the moat, or perhaps it was due to the large number of Turkish archers shooting at each other, so it was not easy to defend the city. Not only did Sergeant Zhao on the city wall participate in the defense of the city, but the heavy armored soldiers from the Guards also began to appear in some dangerous areas. The defenders also began to suffer casualties. Compared with the Geely siege, the situation this time was more serious. - Didn't finish reading?
