Chapter 346: Under the City of Yarkand

But he said that while the Great Khan of Yarkand was giving a passionate speech, a soldier wearing gold armor suddenly ran in from outside the door. I saw the soldier kneeling on the ground anxiously, which immediately made everyone in the entire hall quiet, and they all moved their eyes to this soldier. The countless glances made beads of sweat flow from the soldier's forehead, and his back was even more soaked.

He is just an ordinary soldier, and now that he is being watched by so many court officials, it is no wonder that he is not nervous.

Yarkand Khan Abdullaha frowned, his face showing that I was unhappy. This scared the soldier so hard that his legs went limp.

"What the hell is going on, running in so panic."

The soldier lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head, and from that cold voice he could tell how angry Abdullah's heart was at this moment. However, the matter he wants to report is very important, and if he doesn't come in, he will definitely be beheaded in the end.

Thinking of this, the soldier took a deep breath. Said: "Great Khan, Great Khan." The Ming army came over. The Ming army came over. ”

"What Ming army is coming!" Not only did Abdullaha stand up in surprise, but the dozens of ministers on the left and right also looked at the soldier in surprise. They hoped that what the soldier said was false. But they knew very well that the soldiers did not dare to lie, so the Ming army must have called. So the ministers threw out all that Abdullaha had just said.

For them, life is above all else. Is it possible to send them to the battlefield desperately?

"Going to war is what the untouchables do, and our noble nobles can only enjoy life in the house."

Not to mention these ministers who don't care about the survival of the Yarkand Khanate, even the Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate is paying no attention at the moment and has become pale.

"Abudu! Abudu! Gather your troops and horses to resist these damn bastards now! "

Looking at Abdullah's nervous appearance, Abdu sighed slightly, he would not gather troops and horses to resist the Ming army, because he was ready to surrender to the Ming army. On the surface, though, he remained loyal.

"My esteemed Great Khan, let your heart be a hundred. Abdu would surely have gathered a large number of warriors to defend the Great Khan against the attacks of the hateful Ming army. Great Khan, all you need to do is sit comfortably in the palace. ”

Abdul's words immediately made Abdullah's heart very happy, of course, the others had no confidence in Abdul at all. Especially some people who had dealt with Liu Xia's Pingbei Army.

After Abudu finished speaking, he said goodbye to Abdullah, the Great Khan of Yarkand, and what he wanted to do most now was to leave here quickly, return home as soon as possible, gather the old and young in the family secretly, and finally begin to prepare to surrender to Liu Mingjun.

Then Abdullaha naturally won't keep Abdul either, otherwise who will call up troops for him? In fact, Abdullaha did want Abdul to stay behind and bring his soldiers and horses to protect his safety. But now the big picture must be put into account.

"Maybe I should consider the advice given by the Ming army?" Yarkand Khan thought for a moment.

"Absolutely not, Yarkand is my supreme glory, which was established by the countless conquests of my ancestors. It must not be handed over to anyone. Absolutely not. Thinking of this, Abdullaha was suddenly full of pride.

Now it is not only the Iron Fist Brigade that has come to attack the Yarkand Khanate, but also an additional legion. It is the Xuanwu Army led by Shouhu. Moreover, Liu Dazhuang directly followed the headquarters of the Xuanwu Army from the Xiongshi Brigade camp in the north to the location of the Iron Fist Brigade.

The Xuanwu Legion was composed of three brigades, which means that there were as many as 24,000 men. Combined with the number of Iron Fist Brigades, it is more than 30,000 people. Liu Dazhuang is the commander of the Northwest Expedition Division, and he can be regarded as the No. 1 person in the army.

It commanded the largest number of soldiers and horses.

After Liu Dazhuang came to the headquarters of the Iron Fist Brigade, he immediately began to inspect the soldiers and horses, and then began to organize the troops and horses to attack the Yarkand Khanate.

Liu Dazhuang knew the Yarkand Khanate very well, so he was not worried that the Yarkand Khanate had a strong army to fight against him, and the reason why he used so many troops to attack the Yarkand Khanate was just because the Yarkand Khanate was relatively large in area and the population was relatively scattered, so it needed a large number of soldiers and horses to manage. Otherwise, it is simply not enough to rely on the soldiers and horses of one brigade.

Liu Dazhuang divided his troops into four routes, and there was still Niu Chao leading the Iron Fist Brigade all the way, although now Niu Chao has become the commander of the Iron Lion Legion, but at this moment Liu Dazhuang has personally gone to the battlefield, and he has no reason not to come? Niu Chao led the Iron Lion Legion to the south.

The guard led the second brigade of the Xuanwu Legion to attack north. Liu Dazhuang led the first and third brigades of the Xuanwu Army to attack Yarkand City. The base camp of the Yarkand Khanate, the city of Yarkand, is also the largest city of the Yarkand Khanate. As long as the Yarkand city is breached, the entire Yarkand Khanate is basically finished.

Of course, Liu Dazhuang did not forget to hand over a letter to the Dzungar Khanate when he attacked the Yarkand Khanate, and asked them to be honest, this Yarkand Khanate belongs to their Ming army, if you dare to stretch out your claws to the Yarkand Khanate at this time, the Ming army will definitely cut off their claws.

When the Yarkand Khanate had not yet been captured, Liu Dazhuang was not ready to start a war against the Dzungar Khanate. Of course, once the Yarkand Khanate was captured, Liu Dazhuang would also prepare to attack the Dzungar Khanate.

Liu Dazhuang rode on the sturdy war horse, picked up the binoculars and looked at the Yarkand city, only to see that the city tower and the city wall were already covered with soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate. Vigilantly looked at them.

Liu Dazhuang smiled coldly. Said: "This Yarkand Khan really doesn't know what to do, it is already a great grace to give him a deputy consolation envoy of the Western Regions Protectorate, since he is unwilling, then don't blame us for using force to break through this prosperous Yarkand city." ”

"Someone sent an order to go down and set up camp thirty miles away from Yarkand City, and at the same time scouts to spy on Yarkand City and draw a complete map of Yarkand City."

Although Liu Dazhuang now has more than 30,000 troops to attack Yarkand, he still has to consider that if he can reduce the losses of the soldiers, he must reduce the losses of the soldiers, and he must not rely on the losses of the soldiers to win back.

"The city of Yarkand is just an ordinary city in our Ming Dynasty, and the thickness of their walls is even less than our ordinary city, so such a thing can also be called the capital? It's ridiculous. ”

Not far from Liu Dazhuang, a general with a telescope carefully observed the city of the Yarkand Khanate, with a look of disdain on his mouth.

"It's said that such a city can be blown up with just a few shells."

"This Yarkand Khan really doesn't know what to do, and after breaking through the Yarkand city, he will feel better. Don't blame us then. ”

"If I were the Great Khan of Yarkand, I would have taken the concubines and officials out of fifty miles to meet the army."

"But then again, this Yarkand Khan really has a bit of backbone, and he can insist on not surrendering, but he doesn't know what his capital is. Is it possible to bring the officials and people of the whole city to die in battle? I just don't know if those officials will die with him. At this, they burst out laughing.

Because on the way to Yarkand, they had already received some letters of surrender from the ministers of the Yarkand Khanate, and some even came to surrender to them in secret.

"It's sad to think that the Great Khan of Yarkand is still in the dark, and I don't know that the city is already full of traitors."

It was already afternoon, and the sky was gradually getting darker. The soldiers began to set up their tents. Soon, tents appeared not far from the Yarkand city. On the top of the Yarkand city, you can vaguely see a little white in the distance.

The soldiers of Yarkand were not as advanced as the equipment of the Pingbei Army, and they did not have binoculars. So it's hard to see what to do in the big battalion of the Pingbei Army.

Although Liu Xia has been using a telescope for a long time, it is due to technical reasons. Other warlords, even if they have seen it, basically can't imitate it. And most of the binoculars were also in the command headquarters, and almost none of them were captured.
