Han Shizu

Chapter 1104
Jing Qiong's momentary brain fever destroyed the main force of the Uyghurs, lost the Zendan Khan Court, and ruined the future of the entire Ganzhou Uyghurs.Although as long as there is the rising Han Empire in the Central Plains, it will come back sooner or later, but the final result may be much more tragic than the Uighurs imagined.

Although the Chinese army led by Chai Rong set off later, after receiving the news from Guo Jin, they were astonished and sent reinforcements without any hesitation.A total of more than [-] Han and Yi cavalry in the general gathered together, led by Wang Yansheng, and rushed to the rescue.

Wang Yansheng's marching speed was just like his character, aggressive and plundering like a fire, even counting the rest and eating time of the men and horses on the way, it was already approaching thirty miles away on the evening of the day when Guo Jin was trapped in Yanzhi Mountain.

At that time, Chen Wantong, who was cruising outside, also led the remaining [-] Han cavalry to get rid of the entanglement of the Uighurs.The two sides got in touch and learned of the battle situation in Yanzhi Mountain. Wang Yansheng made a decisive decision to camp in the valley on the spot.

Not only did he give rest to the soldiers who were driven by him and were so pressed that they could only breathe, but also let Guo Jin on the other side of Yanzhi Mountain recuperate for a night. As long as the Uighurs gave up their attack, he had many choices.At the same time, send elite cavalry to occupy various lanes, and kill the probing cavalry of the Uyghur army, as well as all people within the visible range of the naked eye who may leak the news that they have arrived.This is a show of caution, and at the same time, it also caused some murders between Gan and Liang, and the Uighurs did not spread their cavalry for even thirty miles.

In an atmosphere of urgency, they survived the night. In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, more than 6000 cavalry were awakened, drinking water and eating, and at dawn, led by Wang Yansheng, headed directly to Rouge Mountain with great fanfare. battlefield.

The morale of the support army was high. They were worried because they were about to go on an expedition to the Western Regions. After learning that the Ganzhou Uighurs rebelled and attacked the vanguard army, they were all filled with righteous indignation and full of fighting spirit. They wanted to rescue and kill the thieves.Of course, the most important thing is that there is no need to leave the countryside for an expedition in this season. This effect is just like what Chai Rong expected before, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will explode vigorously.

Even if they didn't cover their tracks, by the time the Uighurs found the reinforcements from the Han army, they were already ten miles away from the battlefield.Then, when the Uyghurs were at a loss, nearly [-] cavalry from Han and barbarians in the joint unit approached the Uyghur army with lightning speed, and formed an array to attack.

Uighur Khan Jingqiong was woken up from his sleep. He was also very tired, depressed, and exhausted a lot of energy in arguing with the nobles and generals, so he fell into a deep sleep.When she heard the news that the reinforcements from the Han army had arrived, Jing Qiong was completely stunned as if she had been suddenly placed in an ice cellar.

Just the night before, someone reminded him to be careful of reinforcements from the Han army, and suggested that he withdraw from the siege and return to guard Zendan, but he was rejected by the angry and impatient.I never thought that a word would become a prophecy, and the prophecy would come so quickly.

When I was still checking how many troops there were in the Han army who came to help, even in the big tent, I could already feel the slight tremor of the ground, as well as the gradually amplified and clear sound of rumbling horseshoes.

Don't care about the image, in a hurry, Jing Qiong ordered the noble generals of all ministries to organize troops and lead the army to meet the enemy.However, the advantage of the Uyghurs lies in the large number of people, and the large number of people has very high requirements for organization and command.

Under normal circumstances, there might not be a big problem, but in this panic, facing thousands of iron cavalry carrying Han flags, how can we not panic.The biggest blow was the damage to the morale of the army. After experiencing the brutal fighting in the past two days, they had to face the "mere" [-] Han army cavalry with several times their numbers. "Han Army".

The Uyghurs, who had not experienced fierce wars for many years, lost most of their ambitions in the previous bloody battles.The so-called timidity before fighting, under such circumstances, how can there be good results.

As the supreme commander of the Uighurs, Jing Qiong had the determination and temperament to risk everything, but his generals and subordinates did not.Before Wang Yansheng led the attack, he ordered to gather the camp troops in a siege formation, and he was already working hard to save the crisis.

However, the reason why miracles are called miracles is because the probability of occurrence is very low.Uighur Khan Jingqiong struggled at the end, but after all, he did nothing but useless efforts.

When the offensive formation was adjusted and the fatal impact was launched, the adjustment of the Uighurs was still incomplete, and they were still in a state of hectic up and down, inside and out.As a result, when the Han army entered the Uyghur camp with unstoppable momentum, a relaxed but bloody battle unfolded like this.

Facing the attack of the Han army, some were called upon to gather to meet the enemy, some panicked and fled in all directions, and some simply withdrew from the battlefield and died in embarrassment. In short, it was a mess.

In such a situation, Guo Jin, who was greatly aggrieved, did not hesitate to lead the soldiers of the Han army who were particularly powerful on the mountain to join the battle after a night of rest. Although they were a group of tired tigers, their fangs were still sharp. , full of anger, bursting out, and killing people.

In the chaos, the Uighurs only resisted for more than an hour before the whole army was defeated. More than 20,000 Uighur troops, most of them were killed or injured, but less than 3000 people actually escaped from the battlefield. During the panic, many Uighurs were separated from their horses.
There were more than 10,000 Uighurs who chose to abandon their weapons and surrender when they were defeated, and became captives of the Han army, including some nobles, generals, ministers, and the biggest fish, Uighur Khan Jingqiong, but he He fell off his horse and was captured alive in battle.

In the Battle of Yanzhi Mountain, the Han army won cleanly despite the early struggles, and the First World War basically declared that the Hexi issue was resolved.After all, the main force of the Uighurs was completely lost in this battle, and Khan and many civil and military nobles also became prisoners of the Han army.

On the third day after that, the British Gong Chai Rong just led the Chinese army, along with the logistics, to the Yanzhishan battlefield.It can be said that this is an unexpected victory. Although the result is the same, the process is completely out of the concept of the Han Central Committee and the front-line generals.

Attacking from both sides, deciding on Gansu was based on the overall situation of Hexi, but in the end, all such calculations came to nothing.The Guiyi Army failed to send them to the field in the end, and the Battle of Yanzhi Mountain, which settled the situation, was actually a victory of both internal and external forces, with two sides attacking.

The key to all this lies in the reaction and courage of the Uighurs, which is beyond the imagination of the Han monarchs, ministers and generals.Analyzing Jing Qiong's choice afterwards, perhaps the Uighur took the initiative to attack and hastened its demise, but it cannot be judged simply by the result.

Even if it doesn't attack, the final development will be nothing more than the well-prepared and clear-minded Han soldiers approaching the city, calmly besieging it, and cutting off external communication.Maybe it will last longer, but it can't escape the end of death.

It's just that Jing Qiong and the nobles were so courageous that they wanted to attack the vanguard of the Han army, but they didn't expect that it was a hard bone, not only broke their teeth, but also buried the entire ethnic group.

To evaluate the performance of Uighur Khan Jingqiong, it is like a drowning person, no matter whether he is there or not, he always tries to struggle, at least he can make some splashes.Otherwise, sooner or later it will be annexed by a big man. Since ancient times, because the opponent is strong, he has not resisted and offered land, cities, population, and wealth.

More people still tend to fight, and Jing Qiong just made the choice of most people.

However, the result was very serious. This move angered the Han army, especially Guo Jin and other forward generals who suffered serious losses.Before Chai Rong's troops approached Zendan, Guo Jin and Wang Yansheng led the army and killed all the captured Uighur nobles and soldiers.

Both of them are ruthless people, Guo Jin has a strong desire for revenge, and Wang Yansheng vents his long-suppressed negative emotions. More than 10,000 people were confiscated and their weapons were confiscated. They were dealt with separately in batches. First they were beheaded, then they were dug and buried alive, and then they were shot with arrows. When the last 4000 people were left, they gathered together and the Han and Yi troops rushed , massacre
A horrific murder was committed. Afterwards, Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin felt a little scared, because killing prisoners is also not allowed by military discipline.However, the Uyghurs shouldn't be a big problem, right?
When Chai Rong arrived, he was furious when he heard the news. However, he did not deal with the two of them. Instead, he did the aftermath work. He did not seek to conceal the news. He could not hide it at all, but buried all the dead. .

Then they led the army and entered Zendan. Zendan, who had almost lost its military strength, resisted tenaciously to the end, even though their Khan had been captured.Not for anything else, just for that massacre.

However, in the face of absolute strength, the power of Zendan Dan's city seems humble.It only persisted for half a month, and under the attack of the Han army's elite soldiers and heavy weapons, it was broken.The stubborn resistance of the Uighurs angered the Han army again. This time, Chai Rong did not stop the army from looting and killing, and those hateful eyes also irritated him.

The fall of Zendan City also heralded the complete end of the Uighur ethnic minority regime in Ganzhou, and the subsequent battles in Ganzhou and Suzhou were very easy.As Chai Rong expected, many Uighurs were unwilling to surrender to the big man, and under the leadership of nobles and leaders, they took the initiative to retreat westward.

In this regard, Chai Rong sent cavalry to pursue, pursue and suppress all the way, and fought all the way. In the end, less than [-] Uighurs escaped from the Gansu area.
　Sure enough, war should be shorthanded. In the future, matters related to war should be in the form of briefings.
