Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1052
Chapter 1062
On the eighth day of May, at dawn, Jeersey led his troops to attack the city. The battle lasted until dawn. The confidant of Jeersey's army, Yubu, led more than six to five hundred people from his headquarters to surrender to the Wei army on the city wall. Jeersey's attack also failed. .The envoy E Nagu wanted to kill Jersey angrily. Because more than [-] generals and generals pleaded for Jersey, E Nagu had to order someone to beat Jersey with [-] lashes until his blood was drawn. Dripping, skin torn.

However, Yubu who surrendered carried Jersey's secret mission to discuss the surrender with Wei Guoan Xiliu Ke. The king and the two agreed to create chaos in the Heda army and wait for an opportunity to kill E Nabu.

It turned out to be a good thing, the plot of Jeersey and Gaisuyeddin's rebellion was leaked, and Enaju decided to act first. While cutting off the trilogy of the two, in the name of the pre-calling meeting, he secretly ambushed the guards and hacked at them. More than [-] generals under the command of Jersey and Gaisuyeddin took over the troops under their names.

On the ninth day of May, E Nayu finally succeeded in controlling all the forces of the entire Heda Empire's East Conquest Army, but at this time the Heda Army also suffered heavy losses, and its strength increased by a third compared to when it was conquering the East.

In the valley of Geluoling, more than forty miles east of Izumo Pass, the real main force of Anxi controlled by Ye Xian is stationed here. As far as the [-]-strong main force of Anxi Army is concerned, if you want to break through Izumo Pass Not too difficult.Xiongguan Jiancheng, which was originally in the era of cold weapons, has become a past tense after the appearance of gunpowder.

At least Ye Xian has dozens of ways to break through the Cloud Gate with the least loss.But Ye Xian did not move, but according to the established plan, he dispatched thousands of assistants step by step to bluff and feint. The offensive and defensive battle of Izumo Pass lasted for nearly two months, but the damage of the enemy and us did not exceed [-] at all. pass.

However, while Ye Xian continued to wait, the grassroots officers of the Anxi Army couldn't sit still. They gathered dozens of officers and sent representatives to convey the wishes of the soldiers to Ye Xian: "General Ye, we can't wait any longer. General Liu and the others will have an accident."

Although Ye Xian and Liu Ke are both Ran Ming's apprentices, but the apprentices have different identities. Ran Ming's apprentices, especially those like Ye Xian, have not 500, but also [-] people. Ming has no impression.Rare things are considered expensive, and the same is true for apprentices.However, Liu Ke is one of Ran Ming's five great apprentices, and he is also a confidant. At present, apart from the great apprentice Chen Yong who has become the general of Wei Guo's restraint side, only Liu Ke has become the general of Anxi.If he had an accident, he could be sure that even if Ye Xian had the power to destroy the country, he would not be able to match this stain.

Ye Xian thought for a while and said to the general who was petitioning: "According to the plan, we have to wait for General Liu to confirm the dispatch time before we send troops out of Yunguan. However, General Liu did not send anyone to convey the news of the dispatch, so All we have to do now is wait!"

The representative of the Anxi army said: "Perhaps General Liu can still persist, but we are too far away from Stone City. If there is any unexpected delay, our success will fall short. We have been feigning the exit of Yunguan. The purpose is to convince the Heda people that we We don't have the strength to break through the Izumo Pass. But if we send a partial division to detour the Izumo Pass, attack back and forth, close the door and beat the dog, as long as we don't let a barbarian escape from the Izumo Pass, we can also win a big victory! "

The generals talked about each other, but Ye Xian also tended to send troops.A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a general who does not want to be a better general is not a good general. If according to the plan, Ye Xian and the main force of the Anxi Army can only act as spectators, and the first and second achievements will be made by those fake Anxi Army Obtain.

A battalion commander in charge of reconnaissance, Guo Saidao: "According to my observation, the barbarians at Izuyun Pass report information to the Heda people every time three or four days, and each time they ride 23 or 27 rides. And they all leave the pass. , but never returned. I can boldly speculate that the Huren and Heda who seized Izumo Pass should not be of the same race, but should belong to an ally relationship. Moreover, there is a problem with their relationship with the main force of the Heda army outside Stone City. In order to reassure the defenders of the Chuyun Pass, the Da people cut off news exchanges. In this case, we used partial divisions to penetrate the enemy's rear, block the entrance of the Geluoling Valley, and attack back and forth. It can confuse people." At this time, Ye Xian was worried about the safety of Liu Ke and Stone City, but also wanted to make great achievements.At this time, the world structure of the Wei State was established, and the Wei State annexed the Tongnan Peninsula. On the basis of the original Jiaozhou, Mianzhou was added in the southwest of the Indochina Peninsula, and the government was located in Bagan City (the left bank of the middle reaches of the Ayeyarwady River.) In the middle, Liaozhou was added.Yuezhou was established in the south of Puluo City (now Laos), and Jiading (now Ho Chi Minh City) was ruled.At this time, in addition to the original [-] states, the Wei State had increased to [-] states directly under the Central Government, newly added Tingzhou (roughly in the border of Xinjiang today) and three states in Central and South China, four Nanyang Governor's Mansions, and two enclaves in Borneo (Kalimantan) Island), Jinzhou (Sumatra).

From Ye Xian's point of view, Wei State is now strong and has occupied almost all the places it can occupy. If it is not possible to advance to Kangju State, it will be the last battle, and he must seize this last opportunity.Thinking of this, Ye Xian said: "Lieutenant Colonel Guo's speculation is very reasonable. After so many days of hard fighting, the Heda people should be exhausted. Even if they have a large number of people, their combat power will become weaker and weaker by the day. Enemy five! The time has come for us to send troops, we can send troops, the staff should make a surprise attack plan, and make sure that no one escapes."

At this time, the guard of Izumo Pass is none other than Qibi.There are many descendants of Wusun in the Western Regions, and Yu Wenyi also trusts Qibi very much, so although he was almost alone when he fled with Yu Wenying, Yu Wenyi provided him with a large number of manpower. At this time, Qibi has tens of thousands of people People and horses, of course, these are all young men from various ministries who were coerced by Yu Wenyi who fled all the way west, and they are not elite.

Qi Bi was secretly instigated by Wei Guo's royal special guards and carried out a top-secret plan, but he knew very well that Wei Guo's plot was definitely not small.Especially when Wei Jun took a feint attack on Izumo Pass, Qi Bi immediately felt something was wrong.Although Izumo Pass is steep and stronger than the original Beiting City, but there are not many strong ones, and the thousands of young men in the Wei military area are enough to make the entire coalition forces of the Western Regions smash their heads, but at this time they are Surrounding but not attacking obviously has a deeper plot.

His lieutenant, Ahmaizha, is a heartless person who sleeps when he is full and eats when he wakes up. He has no brains.But this allowed Qibi to firmly control the trilogy in his hands.

When Ye Xian's troops began to appear under the Izumo Pass, Qi Bi said nothing, and directly ordered the entire army to surrender.Because he knew that once Wei Jun stopped playing house with him and made a serious move, he would die.When Ye Xian learned that Qi Bi was a secret agent of the Wei State, he couldn't help calling God to help me!
With the cooperation of Qibi, he still sent a messenger as usual to tell E Naju that his troops fought bloody battles, and the Wei army suffered heavy losses, but it was difficult to surpass Lei Chi by one step.

E Nabu's personality is not a cautious person.But years of combat experience have allowed him to make fewer mistakes when doing things.For example, he sent someone to instigate the confidants of Gaisuyeddin and Jersey. In the matter of Zhiping Gaisuyeddin and Jersey's rebellion, he behaved as if he was a cautious person by nature, an absolutely wise man. The mighty monarch.

Secondly, when facing the cavalry of the Wei Guoan Western Army led by Niu Zijie crossing to the west bank of the Syr Darya River, he took strict control of the news and kept all the soldiers in the dark, appearing equally wise.

His behavior has its own reasons. Although he is convinced in his heart that Stone City already has the full strength of the Wei army, he still has to be on the safe side, and there are more than [-] cavalry troops walking a hundred miles west of Stone City. Within the scope, E Naju is sure that whether it is the Wei army's partial division or the Wei army who stayed in Stone City, they are capable of coping with all changes.After all, [-] cavalry is enough to make the cavalry of the Wei army have nowhere to hide.

However, E Nagui ignored one thing. These tens of thousands of troops are no longer the troops that just joined the Eastern Expedition from Tocharo. After two or three months of bloody battles, especially the extremely bloody city offensive and defensive battles, let The soldiers of the Heda army were extremely exhausted and their morale was even lower.In particular, the Heda people are resistant to severe cold, but not to heat. Whenever E Nagui ordered the troops to attack, the whole army would secretly curse: "Damn it!"

It is difficult to repeat the original text of the swearing words of the Heda people. In short, the soldiers of the Heda army at this time wanted to greet E Nagui's direct female relatives.

But E Nagu's perverted military discipline prevented all soldiers from disobeying his orders.It was almost dawn, five miles west of Stone City, in front of the big tent of the Heda Army, Er Nayu closed his eyes expressionlessly, and the morning wind blew over his golden armor, mixed with the nausea The smell of blood and corpses made people feel like they were in Shura Hell.

This time the attack failed again. The more than [-] Heda troops who participated in the siege were under the joint attack of the Wei army and the Heda army supervisor team, and none of the soldiers came back.More than three thousand living lives. In just over half an hour, they turned into cold corpses.

"Wei Jun is really strong, Liu Ke, you really deserve to be Ran Ming's apprentice. Ben Khan still underestimated you!" Enayu suddenly roared: "The final victory still belongs to Ben Khan. Now you still have How many people can die?" As he spoke, Er Nayu pointed at Stone City with his horsewhip, and said indifferently: "Before Wei's reinforcements arrive, we must take Stone City down and send another [-] troops, and we must climb the city wall before sunrise. Otherwise, Ben Khan will die there!"

Under the order of Enayu, three thousand soldiers and horses were divided into Heda's army. Because of the heat, these soldiers were unwilling to wear heavy armor.There was no way, Wei Guo's crossbow arrows had long been exhausted, and the leather armor of the Heda people could not prevent Wei Guo's sergeants from cutting with their horizontal knives.Since wearing armor is also death, it is better not to wear it lightly.

"Woohoo!" The horns of the Heda people's attack sounded, and more than [-] Heda people soldiers bared their upper bodies, shouting and shouting in unison, and rushed towards the city wall with resolute steps.

Liu Ke's face was very calm at this time, but the arrow wound on his right shoulder showed that Stone City was definitely not easy.That's right, no matter how frugal it is, the weapons and equipment in Stone City are in short supply, not only arrows, but also horizontal knives.Although the horizontal knife is sharp, it will also wear out. Usually after one or two big battles, the horizontal knife will lose [-]% to [-]%. In this kind of uninterrupted battle, the blade has no time to repair, and the loss is even more astonishing.

If it weren't for the fact that the Anxi soldiers of the Wei army were all armored with fine steel, and they were defending the city, the corpses of the dead soldiers could be collected, and the armor of the dead soldiers, especially the damaged armor, could be smelted into weapons.But three days ago, the opportunity to smelt the weapon was gone.After being trapped for more than three months, the city was extremely short of fuel. Fortunately, it was summer, otherwise many people would freeze to death.

There is no coal, and all the wood and wood on the houses in the city and the wood or leather furniture in the houses in the city are almost burned out.The scariest thing is not having no fuel, but even running out of medicines.Countless injured soldiers lost the chance of treatment because there was no medicine.

This is war, there is no mercy, no sympathy, since the empire and the Heda people are fighting for a comfortable home, one side must admit defeat and withdraw completely, otherwise the war will not stop.Liu Ke walked in front of a wounded soldier. This wounded soldier was hit by dozens of arrows because of the rain of arrows from the Heda people. Although he looked very scary, in fact his injury was not serious.According to Wei Jun's armor defense ability, it is impossible for this kind of skin trauma to be an accident.

However, there was no alcohol, no trauma medicine, and the weather was hot. Dozens of wounds that were only an inch from the arrows to the skin and flesh had now become fatal wounds.The wound became inflamed, and the large area of ​​festering caused the wounded soldier to fall into a coma.The comatose wounded soldier had a very high body temperature. If there is no more medicine, the wounded soldier may die at any time.

The Taoist priest with the army stood up and shook his head at Liu Ke, expressing that there was nothing he could do.Suddenly Liu Ke rushed to the wounded soldier and knelt down: "The imperial court will not let you down. Your parents, wife and children will be supported by the imperial court for the rest of their lives. Brothers, go all the way!"

As he said that, Liu Ke gently cut the wounded soldier's throat with his imperial saber. The movement was clean and quick, and the blood sprayed Liu Ke all over. The soldier finally died without pain.Especially before the soldier died, he said something that even Liu Ke could hardly hear: "Thank you, General, in the next life I will follow you to expand the territory for His Majesty."

Gritting his teeth, Liu Ke kept his tears from flowing. Liu Ke said to the soldiers beside him, "If this general loses his life, you should also help this general. What is a robe? It's not just fighting together, When the brother around him is worse than death, giving him a happy feeling is also compassion and brotherhood. This brother, this general personally sent him on the road. If this general does not die, he will definitely let a hundred people be buried with him! "

Looking at the sergeant Heda attacking densely below the city, Zhao Xun couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he was stunned for a while and asked hesitantly, "Did the general inform Ye Xian to lead the army?"

"No, although the Heda people are very tired now, they are not weak enough!" Liu Ke said: "The Heda people are almost all cavalry. With the more than [-] cavalry of our Anxi Army, it is impossible to kill them all." Block here. Once the Heda people are allowed to escape, it will be very difficult for our Great Wei to pacify the Syr Darya River Basin."

After Zhao Xun heard this, his eyes suddenly dimmed.It's not that he doesn't know the core issue of stabilizing the Western Regions.Wanting to stabilize the Western Regions is actually the same as stabilizing Mobei. Although Mobei is as far away from the Central Plains as the Western Regions, it is not impossible to defeat the Hus of Mobei and the Hus of the Western Regions.Although it is easy to win, it is difficult to wipe them out.The Hu people in the Western Regions and Mobei are all cavalry, and they can move grass by grass once their belongings are put on horseback.An elite army can be exhausted within a distance of two thousand miles, and an elite army can be dragged out within a distance of five thousand miles. If the enemy is exhausted, we will attack, and if the enemy retreats, we will pursue." The sixteen-character guerrilla warfare policy, although the state of Wei is powerful, cannot afford to fill this bottomless pit.

The State of Wei has never annihilated the Northern Han State that is now near the North Sea (Lake Baikal), not because the State of Wei did not want to fight, but because it has no ability to wipe out the Northern Han army in one fell swoop and completely eliminate this potential hidden enemy.

Ran Ming's purpose is to build the railway to Mobei, and then follow the "cage policy" of the later Okamura Neiji, so as to completely eliminate the troubles of nomads in the north.The purpose of the Anxi army's westward expedition at this time is not as simple as occupying the Western Regions. The deeper strategic consideration is to force the Heda people to go south.As long as the Heda people are hurt once, the Heda people will definitely not dare to go east again, but go west all the way like their ancestors.But in this time and space, the westward advance of the Heda people was blocked by the Persians and Romans. No matter how fierce the Heda people were, it would not be easy to destroy the Persians.They just have the upper hand on the battlefield. As one of the four great empires in the ancient world, the Persians are definitely not so easy to be defeated.The road to the west is cut off, and the Heda people who are not engaged in production will die if they stay there. If they want to survive, they must continue to plunder everywhere like robbers.And going south is their only way of life.This is Ran Ming's strategy of repelling wolves and merging tigers.
