Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 749 Surrender
When Ali Musa was in turmoil, the Lion King of Gaochang Uighur had already led the two brothers Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Yuqing across the Congling Plateau.

The temperature on the plateau was colder than that on the plateau, but the Lion King's body felt a little stuffy as if it was on fire.

He pulled back the white bear fur coat on his body, revealing the thick cotton coat underneath.

As the Khan of a country, the Lion King carefully tidied up his wrinkled clothes due to the jolt of horseback riding.

The winter in the Western Regions is cold, and the Lion King who lives there has long been accustomed to it.He has a big leather jacket made of Tianshan white bear skin, which can keep out the wind and snow. Even in the open air, wrap the whole leather jacket and shrink himself in it, he can control the temperature and sleep well.

As the weather turned cooler, the Lion King sent his favorite white bear coat from Gaochang, and specially prepared high-quality cold-proof leather for Li Chuyun, Yeluxiu and others.

In the end, the other party took out the legendary cotton padded clothes, not only their generals could share, but also the soldiers accompanying them in Gaochang.

Cotton clothes have been around for a long time in the Dayu court, but they have always been under the control of the court.

Because the productivity of cotton is limited, Luo Youdu specially ordered that the military use and the people of Dayu in Mobei and Northeast be satisfied first, so the Western Regions only heard about it, but didn't know what it was.

Wearing a cotton padded jacket, the Lion King only felt that his favorite white bear coat didn't smell good at all.

In terms of warmth, the cotton coat is actually not as good as his white bear coat, but the white bear coat weighs [-] catties, and it is still stiff, and it hurts to wear it. Compared with the light cotton coat, the feeling is not the same.

A rider in the distance approached him, and it was the scout he sent out.

"Report, there are a thousand enemy cavalry ten miles ahead. They have no intention of confronting us head-on and are retreating."

The Lion King said eagerly: "Zhe Shuai, the other party must not have imagined that our speed would be so fast, and it would not be Ali Musa's soldiers who came to ride, but probably the personal guards of Ludwig Yehu in Suiyecheng. This man I like to harass the rear most, don't look at the opponent's rear, I guess the opponent's attack is to detour to my rear and harass our army's rear baggage."

Zhe Yuxun nodded slightly, the terrain of the Congling Plateau was rugged, and it was not easy to transport the luggage.They wanted to be quick in this battle, and what they fought was by surprise.Climb to the Congling Plateau at the fastest speed and lay a foothold on the plateau.This will also lead to instability in the rear. The core nobles of the Kara Khanate are all nomads who have been in contact with China for hundreds of years. Naturally, they are no strangers to the tactics of attacking grain roads.

They have to be eaten.

Zhe Yuxun was thinking secretly, thinking about how to deploy troops.

The Gaochang Uighur's Balash took the initiative to ask for his life: "Zheshuai, I, the Gaochang Uighur, have received great favor from the court, and I have not made an inch of merit. I am really ashamed. The end will be convenient for me to grow up here. I am very familiar with the surrounding plants and trees. I would like to be Zheshuai." Get rid of this problem."

He was still questioning Dayu's combat power before, but now Barash is eager to show off, fearing that people will look down on him.

This big reversal in just three to five days completely convinced this simple-minded tough guy.

Especially as the weather turned colder, Li Chuyun generously presented all their soldiers with a set of cotton padded coats for each of them. His kindness and power together completely made the Lion King put an end to other thoughts and fully supported the actions of the Dayu court.

Zhe Yuxun also wanted to make sure whether the Gaochang Uyghurs were really helping, and said with a smile, "I have long heard that Barash under the Khan's command is braver than tigers and bears. It would be great to have a general in charge."

Balash received this praise, with a look of joy on his face, he shouted loudly, and led the soldiers and horses to beat the horses.

The Lion King continued to introduce the situation here to Zhe Yuxun, saying: "There are dozens of miles around here, there are small villages that are not safe to defend. If you want to really gain a foothold on the plateau, taking Suiye City is the only way." way."

Broken Leaf City!
Zhe Yuxun looked into the distance. It was a very familiar name. It used to be an important town in Anxi in the Tang Dynasty. I should take it for His Majesty. He smiled and said, "There is a saying that Li Bai, a poetic fairy, was born here. Erlang can go and find out. , If there is real evidence, we can send people to repair the former residence, promote our Han culture, and let the people here know what a great poet came out of this place more than two hundred years ago."

Zhe Yuxun looked like he didn't take Suiyecheng seriously, as if Suiyecheng was already in their pocket.

The Lion King didn't have any thoughts. If it was ten days ago, he must have felt that Zhe Yuxun was too big, but he had seen the marvelous siege tactics of the Dayu court with his own eyes, as well as the unheard-of mechanical mobility, which made him unable to give birth to anything. Thoughts of resistance.

It turned out that after Li Chuyun and Yeluxiu decided on the siege strategy, they recharged their batteries outside the western city of Yutian to make siege equipment.

Under the leadership of Luo Youdu, Dayu has made great progress in mathematics and physics, which has affected many places in all aspects.Among them, siege equipment is one of them. With the in-depth understanding of mechanics, Dayu's siege equipment is more powerful, more accurate, and has a longer range, and gradually formed a unified specification system.

During the production, the craftsmen can adopt the method of segmented construction, which does not affect the efficiency. It takes time to assemble, and when it is not needed, it can be disassembled and transported on the spot, avoiding the problem that the siege equipment is too heavy and slow to transport.

This is also the reason why Dayu was able to transport the equipment to Yingjisha and take Yingjisha in a short time after capturing the western city of Khotan.

The Lion King was shocked by Dayu's exquisite craftsmanship, but what really made him hold onto Dayu's thigh was because he witnessed Dayu's siege.

Unlike what he had imagined, there were no corpses strewn across the field, nor were there any tragic fights, only shock and fear, the fear from the heart.

The siege method proposed by Brother Yeluxiu that expands with heat and shrinks with cold is not simply relying on heat and cold to break through the city, it is not that simple.Just using the method of alternating cold and heat can make the masonry brittle and crack, thus achieving the effect of destroying the city.

Dayu's siege army first set fire to the city wall by throwing fierce fire oil tanks, then attacked with cannon stones, smashed a gap, and poured black powder into it to detonate. Repeatedly, at a very small cost, the city wall of Khotan collapsed.

Li Chuyun just invited the Lion King to watch the battle without telling him the details, and it was still night when he attacked the city.

What the Lion King saw in his eyes were raging flames, and his ears heard the sound of cannon stones hitting the city tower and the loud explosion of gunpowder...

He didn't know what was going on, but he witnessed the collapse of Khotan's city wall under such a magnificent situation.

This is even more the case in Ingisha.

Before Yingjisha's defenders could react, they were caught off guard by the successive attacks of fierce oil tanks, artillery stones, and gunpowder, and collapsed.

There is no invincible tactic in this world, but when a set of effective and reasonable new tactic comes out, it will be invincible.

The enemy has not figured out the mystery, and does not know how to deal with it.

If the Lion King was a wolf in sheep's clothing at the beginning, and when Dayu was doing nothing, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a little bit of white teeth, and now he is a loyal dog.

In this place of the Western Regions, only the strength can make people believe and follow.
-
Long Huo hung his helmet on the saddle, letting his jet-black curly hair hang loosely over his shoulders.He looked up at the sky, and the clouds were gathering quickly, and the soldiers beside him were huddled in the lee of the hill to rest, relying on their hard and thick leather and their righteousness to resist the severe cold of the weather.

Looking at the trembling soldiers, Long Hu rubbed his hands vigorously to make himself warmer, and scolded his mother in his heart: "Attack at this time, the god damn Yu Ren is not afraid of the cold?"

Long Hu is a descendant of the Xiaoyue family in the Western Regions. He was a member of the royal family of Yanqi Kingdom in the early years, but now he has fallen into a small nobleman, living with Ye Hu Ludwig of Suiye City.

Because he was familiar with the terrain, he was ordered to attack the back road of the Eastern Yu Army, and harass the opponent's grain road or siege equipment.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was a little gloomy.

This battle is not easy to fight.

No one would have guessed that Dongfang Buming would have been a blockbuster, or if he didn't fight, he would directly kill him on the Congling Plateau.

Their line of defense was set up in Yingjisha, and Suiye City was not only undefended, even Yehu Ludwig, the No. [-] figure, invited Ali Musa to Kashgar to participate in the canonization ceremony.

Long Hu had no choice but to bite the bullet and block the news, and personally led troops to attack the Yu army's logistics in order to slow down the opponent's marching speed.

The cold wind swept over the rolling hills, as long as they bypassed these hills, they could detour to the rear of the Yu army.

Seeing that it was almost time, Long Hu said loudly: "Get up and move your muscles and bones, don't get stiff, let's continue on our way, and rest in the Kezi Mountain at night, when the time comes, we can light a fire to keep warm and have a good night's sleep."

He didn't dare light a fire for warmth now, the smoke would give away their seats.Only by using the woods and darkness at night can we avoid being exposed.

Following his order, more than a thousand Qingqi walked around the hills, following a big bend, the sight suddenly opened up, the rolling hills have been left behind, and there is a meadow at the foot of the mountain in front, but it is already winter , the grass is dry, exposing the yellow-black land.

Long Hu was overjoyed and said: "Hurry up, once you enter the mountain, you can have a good rest..."

He had just led his troops into the grassland and galloped diagonally. The sound of hurried hooves and shouts came to his ears.

"Master Dragon, there is a cavalry team coming towards us!"

Long Hu sat precariously on his horseback with an incredulous expression on his face, but in an instant a person named "Balash" flashed in his mind.

He and Barash live in two neighboring tribes, and this is where they played around when they were young.

It was only later that the Karahan Kingdom forced the people to convert to the Dafa, and Balash and his father led the tribe to the Gaochang Uighurs.

really!

With the sound of horseshoes!

The dark shadows in the distance approached at an extremely fast speed, and the leader was faintly visible, who was his best friend from the past.

Long Hu couldn't think too much, held up the scimitar, and yelled: "We have come all the way, and our physical strength has been exhausted. If we retreat now, they will only let them bite, until we have no strength, and let others be slaughtered like lambs. I want to live , why not follow me to fight to the death!"

There are no feasible tactics and tactics in this confrontation between the thousand-man team, and there is only blood that regards death as home.

The two sides didn't even have a conversation, they collided together.
