Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 452
How should I put it, Jieli Pijia's military capabilities are actually acceptable.

It is more than [-] miles from Gaochang to Turpan, with the Bogda Mountain in the north and the Great Harmony Moraine in the south. The environment is difficult and there are few supply points along the way.

He really didn't need to confront Zhang Zhao head-on, he just needed to make the [-]-mile journey unsafe.

And this kind of way of cutting off their food and constantly harassing them is what the Rangers are best at.

After suffering a big loss at Chiting Shouzhuo, Jieli Pijia released all but the [-] elite riders who stayed with him.

They destroyed wells along the way, burned all the food they couldn't take away, moved the people away, and even scared away many yellow sheep moving nearby.

All of this is waiting for Liangguo's follow-up troops to suffer a big loss.

After Jieli Pijia's arrangement was completed, Liangguo's follow-up troops still did not show up. This made Jieli Pijia very satisfied, and he felt a lot more at ease. Of course, he also had to regard Zhang Zhao as a fool.

snort!Lao Tzu has strengthened the wall and cleared the wilderness, thirsty you will die of thirst all the way, and I want to destroy my Great Gaochang Kingdom, Lao Tzu will not let your tens of thousands of troops return to Hexi.

Although Chiting was being captured, infantry continued to come out of the city to provoke, and cavalry also came out to attack unexpectedly, causing Jieli Pijia to lose his troops and generals, and he was a little ashamed.

but..

Jieli Pijia touched his beard, it was harmless, and when Zhang Zhao was captured, he must ask, who is the real king of heaven?

While Chiting was under arrest, Feng Hui really felt bored and restrained, and he was restrained when fighting.

Because Zhang Zhao only assigned him [-] cavalry from Guo Guangcheng's troops, plus [-] Yizhou cavalry led by Chen Huiyao from Yizhou.

If he hit hard, if Jieli Pijia turned his head and ran away, he would not be able to catch up with few cavalry. Once Xieli Pijia retreated to Gaochang City, he might have made a big mistake, right?

Because going to fight Gaochang's Jiancheng is still a battle to destroy the country, and with a few months as a time unit, there is absolutely no trouble in the wild.

So Feng Hui kept holding back, not going to beat Gao Changjun hard, but at the same time pretending to be anxious, so that Gaochang people thought he was afraid of being cut off.

Tired of heart!

These days Feng Hui is counting the days on his fingers.

At first Zhang Zhao asked him to stick around until the beginning of December at least, but Feng Hui thought he could stick around until the day when the food was finished.

He was looking forward to it every day, looking forward to Zhang Zhao coming quickly. The Gaochang Uighurs have tens of thousands of cavalry in this wilderness. What a great opportunity!

. . . .

"Heavenly King, the envoy of Bugla Khan has arrived." In Jieli Pijia's camp, just after dawn, his neighbors came to report that the envoy of Saktu had arrived.

Jie Lipijia's face was very ugly. It has only been eight days since he sent the envoy.

Tens of thousands of people traveled back and forth from Tingzhou to Gaochang in eight days. This is a non-stop rush!Can't wait, can you?
When he thought of letting so many impoverished Geluolu people into his territory, Jieli Pijia's mood became even worse.

"Heavenly King, Bugla Khan suggested that we should attack Chiting's enemies first.

Now the Great Khan and the King of Heaven joined forces together, with a total of [-] cavalry, and with the force of thunder, they could take down Liang Guo's [-] soldiers and horses, and then defeat Liang Guo's central army, wouldn't it be a breeze! "

Jieli Pijia sneered in his heart, he remembered that day when Chiting guarded and captured the brave infantry outside the city, didn't this Saktu suffer from Zhang thief?Still so crazy?

But it's not bad, first consume the strength of the Ge Luolu people.

So Jieli Pika pretended to think for a moment, then frowned.

"It's a pity that a certain Gaochang warrior is still sealing off the ghostly moraine, and it will take some time to be transferred back."

The envoy raised his head confidently, "Everyone of the Ge Luolu warriors under Bugla Khan's command can be a hundred.

If the Heavenly King gathers [-] riders to aid in the battle in the south of Chiting City, the rest will be up to me, Ge Luoluerlang, to destroy the bandits for the Heavenly King.

But all the weapons and armor of the soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom in the city must be given to us. "

Jieli Pijia snorted coldly, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to the armor of the Liang army in the city.

The iron artifacts on the land of the Ge Luolu people are extremely precious, let alone the iron armor. If they get these iron armors, their strength will definitely increase greatly, no wonder they are so enthusiastic.

"It should be so, whoever can capture Chiting City, the armor and weapons of Zhang's army, of course, will belong to whoever!"

Jie Lipijia said that he was decisive, but in fact he was turning back and forth in his heart.

He was thinking, should he kill Saktu with iron cavalry and annex his cavalry after the Ge Luolu people and the Liang army fought to death?

After receiving an affirmative reply that Jieli Pijia would call at least [-] cavalry to participate in the attack, as well as armor and equipment, the envoy left happily.

Jieli Pijia had a gloomy face, and secretly summoned a man who came on a flying horse.

This is a confidant of Pugucheng, and Jieli Pijia still knows him, because this confidant also belongs to the distant branch of Pugu's family.

"Have you seen Buglahan Saktu with your own eyes? What is the combat effectiveness of the Geluolu people?"

The confidant knelt on the ground, he was a little nervous.

But when he thought that Zhang Tianwang was willing to raise the reward from a pasture in Jiaohe Prefecture to Dagan, the city lord of Jiaohe City, he immediately became less nervous.

The wealth of several generations is in sight, as long as the deceitful Jie Lipijia gathers the team.

"I've seen it. It was the minister who went to Tingzhou to inform Bugla Khan to enter the customs. He is indeed in the army.

Ge Luolu's [-] riders are brave and sturdy, but their equipment is too poor, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of my left and right Shenwu troops. "

After finishing speaking, the envoy hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Di Luo Daqian ordered his subordinates to tell the Heavenly King that although the [-] cavalry of the Geluolu people are not as good as my Da Gaochang's Shenwu army, they are far stronger than the general tribal army.

If the king of heaven wants to use their words, when they meet, it is best to gather the warriors and frighten them severely. "

Jieli Pijia smiled faintly, his cousin always liked to act quite capable, and he still didn't forget it at this time.

"Go back and tell Di Luo Dagan to be careful in everything. If there is any change, you can use the agreed command flag to report."

On the second day, Jieli Pijia personally led [-] elites to the vicinity of Zetian Temple where he agreed to meet with Saktu ahead of schedule.

Although he looked down on Di Luoda's dryness in his heart, he still felt that what Pu Gucheng said this time made sense.

Therefore, he hurriedly recalled the fine cavalry of the left and right Shenwu troops and some brave tribal cavalry who had been released.

I am going to show Saktu the might of Gao Changxiaoqi so that he will not have any thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Two khans, tens of thousands of troops, of course, will not meet rashly.

Before approaching, the messengers of both sides kept notifying each other of their positions along the way, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

However, since it was a meeting, Jieli Pijia didn't put the sentry as far away as it did during the war, nor was it so strict.

After waiting until he learned that Saktu was fifty miles away, Jieli Pijia began to order the whole army to eat.

For this reason, he was ruthless and slaughtered thousands of sheep. Only when people are full and well-fed can they appear full of energy.

At the same time, he also asked the marching Sima and other officials in charge of logistics to start preparing the armor.

After Saktu reached fifteen miles, he began to put on armor.

The soldiers were eating, and Jielipika was no exception. He first drank a large bowl of wine, then picked up a large piece of grilled lamb chops and began to eat.

After a while, a large piece of lamb chops was eaten, and Jieli Pijia stretched out his hand to the wine bowl again.

But when he was about to pick it up, he hesitated, and he would meet with Saktu later, if he drank too much and lost his composure, it would be bad.

But at this moment, the wine in the wine bowl suddenly had a little ripple that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

While Jieli Pijia was wondering, suddenly there was a panicked shout from outside, and then a close minister rushed in with the appearance of a vicious dog in a panic.

"Heavenly King, there are a lot of cavalry! A lot of cavalry are encircling from three sides. It seems that the comers are not good!"

This makes people a little confused, isn't Ge Luolu people fifty miles away?

Jieli Pijia was stunned for a moment, then his face sank and he hurried out of the tent to see the situation.

Indeed, as my kinsman said, from the mountain where Sawada Temple is located, smoke and dust bursts from the northwest, northeast, and due east directions, and there are indeed cavalry approaching rapidly.

"It's too far away to see the flag clearly. The number of people doesn't seem to be large. It's about the same as our army, that is, about [-] riders." General Zuo Shenwu who was beside him quickly analyzed the number of people.

"Heavenly King, the envoy of Bugla Khan, has disappeared. They just took advantage of us to use the imperial food and used the excuse of roasting a lamb by themselves, but they have already disappeared."

Jieli Pijia looked fiercely at the cavalrymen who were getting closer, and couldn't help roaring, "Is this Saktu out of his mind? How dare he?
According to a certain decree, each army draws rangers to delay the enemy's attack, and the rest hurry up to put on their armor. I want to see why these poor Ge Luolu people dare to act so boldly. "

Until now, Jieli Pijia still thought that Zhang Zhaojun, who was approaching quickly, was the Ge Luolu of Saktu. He thought that Saktu had lost his mind, and wanted to come and swallow the elephant.

After all, from a distance, all the cavalry were wearing black robes, which just proved that Ge Luolu was still black.

The Gaochang Uyghur cavalry of Jieli Pijia pitched thousands of tents around Zetian Temple, which is quite spectacular from a distance.

But it's a pity that this kind of grandeur can't provide real protection for Gaochang people, but it can easily become the source of fire.

The combat effectiveness at this time is constantly declining from east to west.

Liao and Jin are roughly equal. Liang is weak because its resources are not very rich, and it cannot support a large army for several years of fierce battles. The combat effectiveness of the army is actually not bad.

After passing Hexi, the combat effectiveness quickly dropped a level. If Gaochang Uighurs were in the Central Plains, they might not even be able to beat Wang Min.

Chaotic, like the termites whose nests have been destroyed, the Gaochang Rangers rushed out, running everywhere.

Their speed to meet the enemy is not bad, but they lack a unified command, and they have no other equipment except for the limp horse bow, broken iron knife, and wooden spear.

The first ones to rush in front of the Gaochang cavalry were the Youyu Linwei of Regret Mountain Capital and some of the cavalry from Hanhai Town and Yucheng Town.

Although they are also cavalry archers, the bows and arrows in their hands, as well as the light composite leather armor for simple protection, are not comparable to Gaochang Rangers.

The first round of bow and arrow shooting between the two sides, the Gaochang Uighur cavalry who rushed to meet the enemy suffered a big loss.

They were even directly dispersed from the team, and then fell into separation and siege and were eliminated one by one.

Lu Sanlang led [-] fine cavalry under his command and rushed to the front. He saw that the Uighur cavalry in Gaochang had fallen into chaos, so he immediately made adjustments.

He dispersed all the cavalrymen under his command and asked them to shoot and kill those Gaochang people who were holding the flags. He himself led dozens of people to set fire all the way.

On the battlefield, the flag is the key to distinguish friend from foe, an indicator of where to fight, and a symbol of morale.

As soon as the flag was gone, the Gaochang cavalry, who had rushed out in a swarm, completely lost their direction.

They were even more confused when the tent fire started to burn.
