Han Shizu

Liu Min is young, and as a commander, he is not too old, but his experience in marching and fighting is extremely rich. After all, the first battle of his debut was to participate in the Kaibao Northern Expedition, and he personally experienced the arduous and soul-stirring Mobei. expedition.

During his 15 years of military career, he has long cultivated a calm mind and a firm will. In the face of difficulties, he has always maintained his composure, standing still like a mountain, and led the Han army to actively deal with the Black Khans.

Even in the most critical moment, the brows were not furrowed. Although the morale of the expeditionary Han army had declined, the commander's performance was seen in his eyes, and he followed Liu Min to persevere.Of course, the soldiers at the bottom are blindly following the crowd, and they have to believe that King Wei can lead them through the predicament, but the generals at the top know Liu Min's confidence in his persistence.

Before the war, Liu Min, Yang Yanzhao and other generals had already made sufficient preparations. Considering that the Tianshan Mountains were difficult to cross and the roads were complicated, it would be too difficult to attack from south to north. Even if they could reach the capital of the Black Khanate, the losses would be unpredictable.

So Liu Min made two-handed plans. He was the main force on this road, with a great momentum, and he fought vigorously along the way, but it was to attract the attention of the black sweaters. Although he was the main attacker, he also played the role of feint.

In addition to Liu Min's army, there was another Jingqi secret operation, choosing to take the north route, bypassing the main line of the Tianshan Mountains, passing through Luntai and Zhangbao, and raiding the Black Khanate.

In the north of Anxi, there is a large piece of barren desert. Although it is also blocked by the Tianshan Mountains, it is much more unobstructed than the southern foot.I didn't choose this path before, because I was not familiar with it, and I didn't start the plan to destroy the country.

This is a relatively bold strategy. It is not uncommon to use detours and attack tactics, but to go around two thousand miles like this and go deep into the enemy's territory is a purely military adventure.

And Liu Min dared to think, dared to do it, and even once planned to personally lead the partial teacher to go north.However, he was dissuaded by generals such as Yang Yanzhao and Kang Baoyi. In Yang Yanzhao's words, he is the commander-in-chief of the army, and he cannot abandon the army. Liu Min led the army with peace of mind.

Of course, in fact, he just didn't want Liu Min to take too many risks. Yang Yanzhao, as a person who experienced it personally, was very clear about the impact when the fourth brother and sixth brother fell into Mobei.

The smooth progress of the North Route Army was completely beyond Yang Yanzhao's expectations, but he was naturally so happy.The battle was raging, and in order to support Liu Min's army and share its pressure, he stopped in Yiji Black Bone City for a while, and then led several thousand newly recruited cavalry troops to continue marching southwestward without stopping.

After all, the opponents they face are different.However, traveling far into the desert and going deep into the enemy's territory itself means death and danger, and requires great courage and determination.

Alimari is located in the lower reaches of the Yili River, in the northwest of the river valley. It belongs to the throat and is also an important town on the Northern Silk Road.Perhaps it was because the big man had never expressed his ambition for this place in the past, nor did he have any intention of going north. Therefore, the defenders were unprepared for the arrival of Yang Yanzhao's army.

At the same time, on the North Road, Yang Yanzhao also achieved the goal of supporting war with war. Unlike the desert and barren land in his imagination, there are many towns and pastures along the way. Although they are not as rich as the big man, there is no shortage of products. .

Numerous battle examples have proved that in order to defend the river defense, sufficient preparation and sufficient strength are required, and neither of these two things is possessed by the current Black Khanate.

Unlike Liu Min's army in the south who gnawed hard bones all the way and faced the main force of the black sweat, Yang Yanzhao's army, although it was a long journey, the journey was hard, and there were some accidents and risks, but overall, it was very smooth.

Even after a long march, the exhausted army successfully broke through the barrier with a single charge without rest, and easily took the key to the east gate of the Black Khanate in Alimali.

Therefore, the long Yili River failed to stop the North Route Army, and it easily broke through, and the troops headed straight to the Eight Assassin Dagon by the Suiye River.During the recruitment and rebellion along the way, when the soldiers attacked the enemy's capital, the number of Yang Yanzhao's army did not decrease but increased, reaching more than [-]. Because of the elites, they went south to defend against the enemy, and the defenders who assassinated Dagon eight times only had less than [-] soldiers. two thousand.

In the later period, the situation became more serious. In fact, in recent years, Black Khan has ruled these slave tribes with oppressive violence. The tribes have long been dissatisfied, and there have even been several rebellions, just because of lack of strength. was suppressed.

However, in the process of advancing eastward, the central court of the Black Khan suffered heavy losses, and the northern tribes suffered even more.The clansmen were constantly recruited to fill the needs of the Eastern Expedition, and were consumed in the war with the Khitan and the Han. Not to mention the rewards, it was an extravagant hope to come back in one piece.

However, Hei Khan's rule over the Northeast was already on the verge of crumbling, and the hearts of those tribes who were brutally ruled by Hei Khan were already filled with anger, and the arrival of the Han army completely released them.The fall of Yiji Black Bone City was due to the fact that there were such a group of people who actively killed people and seized the city, and then ate the pot of milk to welcome the master.

In fact, after the fall of Yiji Black Bone City, the capital of the Black Khanate, Eight Assassins, had already been exposed to the vanguard of the Han army. The distance between the two places was only more than [-] miles, and there was only one Yili River in the middle as a barrier. , It can be called Yimapingchuan.

Most of the people living in the northeast of Heikhan were Tuqishi nomadic tribes who had surrendered. They accepted the rule of Heikhan and paid tribute for conquest.In the early years, with the expansion of the Black Khanate, it also gained a lot of benefits, and there were always captured wars.

Afterwards, after a short rest, recovering energy and strength, replenishing drinking water, and collecting food and grass, Yang Yanzhao quickly moved his troops westward, aiming at Yiji Black Bone, Dayi in the eastern part of Heihan. There was also not much suspense. Although there were many stubborn resisters, due to the lack of troops and a civil strife in the city after the Han army approached the city, the city was declared broken within half a month.

In the end, Yang Yanzhao selected six thousand elite cavalry from the Anxi army, and agreed on a time to leave Gaochang City later, turn around via Luntai, and head west.Along the boundless desert, along the northern edge of the Tianshan Mountains, rush for thousands of miles, and drive straight into Alimali, the eastern border of Heihan.

Relying on the victory of the mountains and rivers, the Eight Assassins still caused some troubles for the Han army's attack, but the empty enemy capital, in the face of absolute strength, all resistance was powerless, and in the end they could not escape the fall.

As for the Northern Division, it is naturally led by Yang Yanzhao, the deputy commander. Yang Yanzhao is still very talented and experienced in running around and attacking.

Hei Khan's main energy in the country is on the main force of the Han army in the south, and the most elite military force is also the same. The strength in the northeast is naturally weak. The number of Yang Yanzhao's army is still small, but they are all elite Han troops with good combat power. It's not something the local Black Khan defenders can resist.

Due to the lag of the news, on the southern front, the main force of the Black Khan was fighting with Liu Min's army.When he learned that there was also a Han army on the North Road, and that he was advancing towards the Eight Assassins, Ali Musa, the Black Khan, was stunned and had to wake up from his dream of annihilating the Han army.

Due to the urgent situation in the rear, they had to give up the results of the battle and retreat westward in a hurry.The reaction of the Heihan people naturally attracted the attention of the Han army. In order to avoid being caught by the enemy's tricks, Liu Min was not in a hurry to pursue them at the beginning, but after several tentative pursuits, he finally concluded the situation.

After making a judgment, Liu Min was not polite, and began to use his strength to pursue with all his strength. Between the two sides, the offensive and defensive momentum was different again.Only this time, the Black Khans were even more embarrassed, and the result was even more bleak.

Under the entanglement of the Han army, the Black Khan army persisted for more than half a month. When they retreated to the small city of Jile, which is a hundred miles away from Ba Gun, the news of the fall of the capital finally came, and the Black Khan finally couldn't hold on. , into a crash.

After a devastating battle, most of the main force of the Black Khan was wiped out, and the Great Khan Ali Musa was also killed in the battle.
