Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 273 The Undeniable Temptation (Part [-])
At the bend of the Beidahe River in Suzhou, Luo Tongda commanded an army to attack Suzhou City, but within three days, Renyu Khan of Ganzhou arrived with more than [-] horsemen.

But fortunately, Luo Tongda's task is to hold back the Ganzhou people and make them bruise their heads here.

Therefore, as soon as the army arrived in Suzhou, the Guiyi Army began to pile up parapets and set up military camps, especially in Zhang Zhao's Fenjin Capital. The civil engineering work was quite professional. In a few days, they built a crude but usable Army stronghold.

Most of the Uyghurs in Ganzhou are cavalry, and they have also inherited the weakness of the grassland peoples of the past dynasties, that is, although they come and go like the wind, their siege capabilities are really not on the table.

Not only them, but also the later Xixia and Liao kingdoms. The reason why the Mongols in Temujin's period were so fierce was that the Mongols' attacking ability at that time was the best among the grassland peoples of all dynasties.

So when the rebel army set up the army camp and took all the cavalry in, the Ganzhou Uighurs were a little bit immobile, even though most of the army camp was built with stones.

"Barbarian! Brutal bear! Hurry up and bring your men up, and kill those big shield fighters and the heavy armored men behind!" Yan Jin yelled at the barbarian who was wearing three layers of armor while pressing his long knife.

Since Zhang Zhao was planning to use cavalry to raid the Uighurs in Ganzhou, Man Xiong and others did not go with Zhang Zhao, but stayed outside the city of Suzhou.

The wild bear glanced at the group of soldiers approaching with huge strip shields on the opposite side, and took a big gulp of wine.

Then he watched the armored soldier who was also wearing three layers of armor behind him wave his hand, and took the lead to rush out from the gap in the stone wall.

Khan Renyu stared quietly at the battle to attack the Guiyi army's stronghold. He did not invest many troops, not even 2000 people. This was a tentative attack.

Amidst the howls of the soldiers on both sides, Khan Renyu looked intently and saw a warrior like a giant bear rushing out from behind the stone wall.

He was holding a big ax in his hand, and before he could reach the big shield, he was hit by more than ten arrows shot from behind the shield.

But this bear-like warrior didn't even slow down. Obviously, these arrows couldn't penetrate the armor at all. Sure enough, after he ran a few steps, the arrows on his body began to fall down.

There is no good way to deal with this kind of large shield, just get close and slash.

The wild bear was already very strong, but after being fed by Zhang Zhao's big fish and meat all these years, his body became stronger.

He swung the huge ax in his hand and slashed fiercely, and the spears protruding from the gaps in the large shield were also chopped off by him one after another.

Even if it wasn't cut off, it would be very difficult to pierce the Barbarian Bear's armor consisting of two layers of cotton armor and one layer of ring lock armor.

The follow-up soldiers also arrived one after another. They were all Zhang Zhaochen, who were not good at riding and shooting but good at foot combat. They had fought with each other for more than four years, and they had already cooperated extremely proficiently.

Everyone held hammers and axes, facing the Ganzhou Uighur combination of spears and archers with three large shields, and squeezed desperately inside.

Finally, a large shield was completely cut by the barbarian, revealing the spearman and sword shieldman inside.

The wild bear laughed wildly and rushed in first, and after a while, the shield was pierced from the inside.

The Uighur soldiers behind the large shield fled in all directions, while the barbarian stared at a large shield combination next to it.

The Ganzhou Uighurs were originally weak in foot combat, and once the shield formation was pierced, they were immediately defeated and retreated.

Renyu Khan, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, immediately ordered Mingjin, unable to hold on for a long time, and the shield infantry who were waiting to retreat retreated with a clatter.

The wild bear led the people to charge and kill for a while, until the retreating Uyghur infantry began to form again, seeing that they could not continue to take advantage, they cursed and led the people back.

Something is wrong!Renyu Khan frowned, he had never seen the armor on that group of warriors before.

Moreover, the fighting style of this team of soldiers also made his eyelids twitch, and gave him an indescribable feeling, as if full of vitality!

right!It is vitality!Shazhou Han used to be very brave in battle, but Khan Renyu felt that there was an indescribable old spirit in them, and what he saw today was completely different from before.

The Uyghurs put up their large shields, originally to cover the infantry as they pulled down the stone wall outside the Guiyi army's camp.

Because the archers of the Guiyi Army can use the cover of the stone wall to shoot at them, the Uighur archers without cover are at a disadvantage.

As a result, the big shield was used three times, and each time Yan Jin sent Manxiong, Dunzhu and a sturdy man named Luo Yide to beat him back.

At noon on the day, Renyu Khan simply withdrew his troops and called his tribal leaders and generals to discuss.

As a man who has controlled the Ganzhou Uyghurs for nearly 20 years in history, Renyu Khan obviously felt something was wrong when he brought this Uyghur tribe that was captured by Cao Yijin to the powerful Khan.

"Siyi, you have been going to Shazhou as an envoy. What kind of people do you think the three Cao brothers are? Is Cao Yijin really critically ill or has died of illness?"

Renyu Khan asked his nephew. As a Uyghur with a close relationship with the royal family of Li and Tang, Ganzhou Uyghur has gradually begun to Sinicize in naming.

However, it still follows the naturalized Uyghur style, such as Sizhong, Siyi, Guihua, Tongshun, Shunyi, etc., which sounds like the kind given by ethnic minorities.

Yao Ge Luo Siyi arched his hand in a very Chinese way, "Reporting to Khan, according to Yichen's observation, although the three Cao brothers are not mediocre, they can only be called family dogs at best. Cao Yuande is more than stable in his work but not varied enough.

As for Cao Linggong, a few months ago, Princess Tian sent a message stating that he often passed out and could hardly get out of bed, which should be true.

And if Cao Linggong is still there, Princess Tian and her children will never be killed! "

'More than calm, not enough change' Renyu Khan muttered a few words in his mouth, seeming a little hesitant.

"Khan thinks there is something wrong with those Shazhou men? From my point of view, this is the direct evidence that Cao Yijin has died of illness!"

"Oh? Why did Zuo Yehu say that?" Renyu Khan turned around and asked in surprise.

"Although Cao Yijin did not start his career with military merits, he is quite knowledgeable about military affairs. He manages the army with strictness and integrity, and wins with force when he is in battle.

If so, it seems that he deliberately put himself into a desperate situation, saying that he was attacking the city, and doing something like sending him over to be beaten. It didn't look like what Cao Yijin could do, but more like the result of blind command. "

All the Uighurs in the tent nodded unanimously, and they all felt that what Zuo Yehu said was reasonable.

This kind of style of play that puts oneself into a passive position at the beginning of the fight really doesn't look like there is any conspiracy to ambush, but it really looks like something done by a novice on the battlefield.

"Even if it's cheating, it doesn't matter. The passage in Hexi is narrow and long, and there is no way to go round and round. Cutting off the back road and cutting off the enemy's food and grass are completely nonsense.

Most likely, that is to hide a soldier in the Montenegro, and when our soldiers are exhausted and rush out, the younger brother is willing to lead a soldier and search the entire Montenegro! "

Renyu Khan's younger brother, Ge Luo Tongshun, stood up and asked Renyu Khan for his order.

The terrain of the Hexi Corridor is a long and narrow passage sandwiched between the Qilian Mountains and other mountains to the north.

If you want to go to Ganzhou without going through the Hexi Corridor, there is no other way for the army to pass, except for going through the Badain Jaran Desert for hundreds of miles, from Minqin County in Gansu to Liangzhou, and then to Ganzhou.

In other words, if the Guiyi Army wants to attack Ganzhou, they can only follow the Hexi Corridor, city by city.

Otherwise, it is impossible to bypass the Badain Jaran Desert to return the horses, livestock and people of the rebels.

Take ten thousand steps back, even if it can be done, it will not be completed in one month. After the completion, Gamo and Dangxiang in the north of Liangzhou will not let them pass easily. After all these are settled, the day lily will be cold.

Renyu Khan also knew this very well, so he didn't worry about being outflanked or being cut off at all. He just instinctively felt that something was wrong in his heart and was subconsciously cautious.

"Khan, the total number of Tang'er in the two prefectures of Guasha is only a few hundred thousand. Over the years, they have fought with us, and they have sent three to five thousand troops, and as many as six or seven thousand can be regarded as all out.

Now there are at least four to five thousand soldiers and horses in the river bend. It can be said that all the property of the Cao family is here.

If I can win in one battle, Gua Sha will easily come under my control. If I let them go, I don't know when will I have such a good opportunity?

After all, no matter how stupid the Cao brothers are, they won't make this kind of mistake again and again! "

Zuo Dayehu said that Renyu Khan is also the mind of all Ganzhou Uighurs.

The Guiyi army at the opposite river bend is indeed a little abnormal, but the temptation to the Uighurs in Ganzhou is particularly great. They have been fighting and killing each other for decades, and they know each other's details very well.

If the [-] soldiers and horses can be wiped out and returned to the righteous army and the Cao family, they can be removed from the land of Hexi.

"Tongshun, take five hundred Youyiqi to search the entire Black Mountain, and by the way, also search the Golden Pagoda Mountain in the north, make sure there is no ambush!"

Yao Ge Luo Tongshun excitedly knelt down on one knee to receive the military order.

"Zuo Dayehu, you immediately organize the Long family in Suzhou City and let them take the lead. I will attack day and night and take down the Shazhou Han on the opposite side!"
