The Yarkand Khanate attacked and destroyed Li Zijun's army, and the military power was greatly enhanced, and the Dzungar Khanate in the north was also shocked when they received the news. He immediately withdrew his troops and returned, and at the same time sent envoys to express his intention of reconciliation to the Yarkand Khanate.

The king of the Yarkand Khanate, Abdullah, had destroyed a strong enemy, and sent a strong neighbor to the north to sue for peace, and he was overjoyed, so he immediately sent his army eastward, intending to destroy in one fell swoop the remnants of Dashun, who had stolen several cities in the eastern part of the country and were already scarce in soldiers and horses.

The momentum of the 20 You army is like a rainbow, waving its army to the east, like an irresistible vast iron stream.

Seeing that the army of the party had been annihilated, and the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng died at the hands of the enemy, the king of the Yarkand Khanate, Abdullah, personally commanded 200,000 elites, and rushed to kill him with great momentum, and Li Guo and Niu Jinxing and others who stayed in the city were suddenly terrified.

Niu Jinxing stomped his feet and sighed, scolding Li Zicheng and others for not listening to their own opinions, and finally failed, but no matter how much he complained now, it was useless.

The problem now is that after this defeat, the elite soldiers and horses in the country were lost, and the total strength of the cities was only more than 5,000 people, which was not enough to resist Abdullah's 200,000 army. If you can only use this army to resist the attack of the Yarkand Khanate, I am afraid that in an instant, it will be wiped out.

What to do?

What do you have to do to save your life?

After urgent deliberation, Li Guo and Niu Jinxing finally decided to deal with it as follows.

Li Guo ordered to immediately abandon the surrounding small cities, concentrate the remaining forces, and make every effort to defend the capital Luoyi City, and at the same time immediately sent envoys into Jiayuguan to urgently ask for help from the Tang army.

Li Guo explained to the envoy that because the soldiers and horses are now all lost, Dashun no longer has any foothold, in order to avoid all destruction, he hopes that the whole army will be unconditionally attached to the Tang Dynasty, ask the Tang army to accept it, and urgently send rescuers.

Monk An, the guard general of the Tang Army, was also very surprised when he got the news. However, fortunately, Li Xiao had already made a plan before, that is, how to deal with it in case of a big defeat of the Shun army.

He immediately dispatched all the soldiers and horses of his second town to rush out of Jiayu Pass and urgently enter to help Li Guo's precarious remnants of the army according to Li Xiao's previous instructions.

At the same time, he also immediately sent a message to Li Xiaofeige, reporting to him the major changes in the Yarkand Khanate, and asking the imperial court to send reinforcements as soon as possible.

In fact, long before Monk An issued an alarm for help, Li Xiao had secretly obtained such news from the spies planted in the Yarkand Khanate by the Security Division, and after learning the death news of Li Zicheng and others, Li Xiao's heart was mixed for a while.

This heroic man in the late Ming Dynasty, a tough guy who had fought with him many times but never admitted defeat, died in the Western Regions so speechlessly, which was really completely beyond his expectations.

Could it be that the fate of people in this world is really determined?

Now that Li Zicheng's army is defeated and killed, and the eastern cities are in danger, what should he do?

Of course, it is necessary to rush in for reinforcements, trying to keep the remnants of the Shun army and its territory, so as to take the opportunity to absorb the rest of the Great Shun while making every effort to destroy the Yarkand Khanate, and restore the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.

Thousands of years later, since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions were annexed by Tubo, it has not been recovered, and it has completely fallen into the dust, how can it not make people sigh.

Now that the Shun army has been defeated, he has justifiably dispatched troops to vigorously enter the Western Regions, and such a critical situation is not a better opportunity for himself and the Tang Empire.

Li Xiao immediately ordered that, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the second town that had been sent to the capital of Dashun, the soldiers and horses of the Tang army of the four towns should be drawn from the country, and at the same time, 50,000 Qing troops were recruited from the Qing court, 30,000 Mongolian soldiers were recruited from the Mongolian tribes, and 20,000 soldiers and horses were recruited from Korea and Japan.

The order of the Tang Emperor, the world dare not obey.

Moreover, this huge force of nearly 300,000 troops will also be personally led by Li Xiao and personally conquered.

The white grass is fertile, and the Han family is ploughed in the canal. Yangguan looks at the Puchang Sea, and the Han Festival will be west when it is protected.

The Western Regions was originally the homeland of China, and now, it is finally time to recover it all.

After Li Xiao's decree was issued, troops and horses from all walks of life were recruited and sent into Beijing, and anyone could see that Li Xiao's firm determination to recover the Western Regions and even expand the border of the Tang Dynasty to Central Asia.

And when Li Xiao's order to borrow troops reached the Manchu Shengjing, Dolgon learned of the order, and the bitterness in his heart was indescribable.

Into his mother, Li Xiao is really deceitful!

Thinking about it three years ago, 100,000 elites of the Qing Dynasty, obeyed the requisition of the Tang Army, entered the customs from Xuanfu, first beat Li Zicheng, then fought Zheng Zhilong, and finally went south by boat, all the way to attack Southeast Asian countries.

And now, the Qing court has only been restored for more than half a year, and Li Xiao's gang has come to secondment soldiers and horses, and the opening is 50,000, damn it, the Manchurian Eight Banners with a total population of only hundreds of thousands, even if they don't do anything every day and breed with all their might, it is difficult to support so many strong men and soldiers.

It's just that now, where does I still have half the courage and guts to resist the handwritten edict of the Tang Emperor.

If Dolgon wants to protect his own head, and wants to protect the glory and wealth of the Aixin Jueluo family, the only way is to obey Li Xiao's orders.

Otherwise, with the current strength of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Xiao waved his troops to attack, and it would be like a boulder crushing an egg, and the Manchu Dynasty would be completely destroyed.

Speaking of which, the survival of the Manchu Qing Dynasty now depends on Li Xiao's temporary kindness, otherwise, the tragic ending of Li Zicheng and Zheng Zhilong will be a lesson for him.

As a result, Dolgon had no choice but to order the Manchu Qing to recruit all available elite soldiers and horses to gather 50,000. And the soldiers and horses left behind by the country are all new moves. These new recruits, regardless of whether they are full of men or women, but all men who have reached the age of thirteen are required to serve as soldiers.

Under Dolgon's order, the people in the country were boiling, and the original weak national strength of the Qing Dynasty was even worse, and it looked sluggish.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses that were finally gathered were led by Dai Shan's fourth son, Wagda, the king of Doluo Qianxiang County, and went to Beijing.

According to Li Xiao's plan, after these Qing troops arrived in Beijing, their main generals would be Haoge, who had already defected to the Tang Dynasty, and Wagda would serve as the deputy general.

After the 50,000 soldiers and horses rolled south, Dolgon, who had been forcibly suppressing the pain in his heart, finally couldn't help but cry bitterly after watching them disappear into the dust of the south.

Li Xiao!

You fucking just give yourself a good time, it's really painful to kill people with such a soft knife.

When the Qing army marched south, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan had all collected the required number of soldiers and horses, although they also had their own complaints, but no one dared to disobey, and finally had to obediently follow Li Xiao's request and send the soldiers and horses to Beijing within the specified time.

The soldiers and horses are all together, and the whole army is dispatched.

Li Xiao, the founding emperor of the Tang Empire, personally commanded nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, and marched westward.

While Li Xiao personally commanded the army and marched all the way from Beijing to Jiayuguan, the 200,000 troops of the Yarkand Khanate, under the personal command of its king Abdullah, had already rushed to the city of Luo, the capital of the Great Shun State.

At this time, the small cities that had been abandoned had been occupied by Abdullah without much effort, and the triumphant king immediately ordered the whole army to besiege the city, and after building siege equipment, he launched an all-out attack on the capital city of Luoyi, which Dashun occupied.

Looking out from the city of Ra, all over the south, east, west, and northwest, there are Abulala's soldiers and horses and banners, this not big city of Ra Yi is like a small boat in the stormy waves, and it seems that it can be swallowed by the waves at any time.

If only the remnants of the Shun army were defeated and defended the city, the total number of soldiers and horses of the Yarkand State was more than 200,000, and the soldiers and horses of the Yarkand State could easily capture the city and destroy the thousands of remnants of the Shun army in one fell swoop, leaving no trace.

But what they didn't expect was that just one day earlier, the soldiers and horses of the second town of the Tang Army had taken the lead in arriving in the city, and immediately deployed defenses in the city, and at the same time immediately took over the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Shun army.

The Tang army was able to arrive a day earlier, but people are not as good as heaven.

Because of the urgency to come here, all kinds of heavy artillery have not been brought with the army, the soldiers and horses stationed in the city, the firearms troops, only the fire gun soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers who throw earth-shaking thunder, but the second town of the Tang Army, Chang'an monk, believes that with these two things, it is enough to defend this Luo Yi City.

After all the siege equipment was built, one morning when the snow began to fall, Abdullah ordered the whole army to attack the city together. The long-awaited moment has finally arrived.

A fierce battle has finally begun.

The piercing swan trumpet sounded high-pitched, countless war drums rumbled, and 200,000 Yarkand troops marched in unison, the banners were like forests, the swords and guns were dazzling, and the beast-like shouts were like muffled thunder rolling across the earth, making people's hearts palpitate.

A large number of Ye army infantry, lined up in a neat pace, pushed a cart covered with cowhide and thin iron plates, and slowly marched towards the four-gate city wall of Luo Yan City.

At a glance, the entire battle array of the Ye army, which was several miles wide, attacked in a circle on all sides, with no end in sight and no end in sight, full of a coercive momentum that was so powerful that it was suffocating.

Seeing that the Yarkand Army was so coercive and made a posture of swallowing himself in one bite, a sneer crossed the face of Monk An, the commander of the Tang Army.

Hmph, I want to swallow Luo Yan City in one bite, and I want to destroy the elite of my Tang Army in one fell swoop, but I'm afraid that you really don't have this good tooth.

When he saw that the Qing army was so powerful and mobilized the elite soldiers of the whole country to surging towards this small Luo Yi City, intending to annex it in one fell swoop, Li Guo, the Marquis of Dashun, gasped.

Grandma's, such a terrible situation, if Tang Jun hadn't come in time, perhaps, he would have died without a place to be buried.

However, he was experienced in the battlefield, and he also quickly calmed down, obeyed the orders of the supreme commander An Monk, and immediately began to arrange his subordinates, and made preparations for emergency deployment.

In the mist of wind and snow, as far as the eye can see, on each city wall now, the outermost row is the shield soldiers, and their large shields are densely arranged, as if behind the pheasant moats, and the solid city defense composed of a shield has been rebuilt.

And behind this shield wall, behind each big shield, there is a bright-eyed and ready to attack Lu Mi gunner, they hold the cold long gun in their hands, and they can't take their eyes off the Yarkand army attacking the city is getting closer and closer.

"Attention the whole army! When the enemy rushed to a distance of 300 paces from our position, the whole army of musketeers immediately set fire! Monk An ordered loudly.

"Order!"

And because of the heavy snowfall, Ye Jun had a chariot as a cover, so they marched very aggressively, and many people also got out of the chariot, looking like they didn't care about the cowhide coaxing and marching forward.

And seeing that Ye Jun despised himself so much, the Tang army at the head of the city was secretly ruthless in their hearts.

The dog entered, you still dare to be so arrogant and don't know whether you are dead or alive, let you have a good taste of our army's Lumi firecracker, what is it like!

When all the Ye soldiers approached together, Monk An shouted in a deep voice: "All the fire soldiers pay attention and prepare." ”

A long black Lumi gun was firmly held in the hands of the Tang Army's gunner, and they aimed at their respective targets one after another, and in silence, the sound of heavy breathing came and went.

The enemy finally reached the range of three hundred paces.

With the angry shout of the commander of the Tang Army, 6,000 guns fired in unison, and in this snowy day, a total of more than 5,500 shots were fired.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

At the head of Luo Yi City, rows of bright red afterburners flew together, like a long bright red ribbon, as beautiful as hellfire, and had a unique beauty like a death ritual. A large group of choking white gunpowder smoke poured up, and more than 5,500 small three-coin pointed mini bullets, like a swarm of death bees flying away together, let out a slight and cheerful chirp, and swooped towards the opposite Ye Jun.

The roaring death bee swarm, chirping and smiling, quickly burrowed into the body of Ye Jun on the opposite side.

The tiny lead bullets weighing three coins burrowed into the human body, breaking bones, tearing muscles, and the surging bullets churned the internal organs into a pulp, forming a terrible cavity effect.

Ye Jun in the front row, many people immediately bloomed like a trick, and the people who were hit were like being slammed with a heavy hammer, and fell upside down on their backs.

The impact of this lead bullet was so great that those Ye Jun, who happened to block the lead bullet with a card in their hand, could not resist this huge impact, and they staggered backwards one after another. It's just that as soon as they fell, they were immediately trampled to death and injured by the Ye Army soldiers who were scurrying around behind, and the scene was a mess.

In the first round of shooting, although it was completely impossible to aim because of the wind and snow, it also caused at least more than 800 Ye soldiers to be killed and injured on the spot, making the entire Ye army formation suddenly appear chaotic.

And when the formation of the Yarkand army was scattered and the speed was slightly sluggish, the second round of fire salvos began again.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

The gunfire was loud, the embers were flying, and more than 5,500 firearms were fired, and more than 5,500 lead bullets roared out, causing more than 1,000 casualties among the Yerkand soldiers as they got closer and closer.

The Yeerqiang soldiers, since they were born in their mother's womb, have they never seen such a fierce firearm strike, the formation suddenly became more and more chaotic, and the speed of the impact became more and more reduced, and those Ye soldiers who rushed to the front, the original fanatical and bloodthirsty expressions on everyone's faces began to retreat, and many people showed terrified expressions, because they didn't know when such bad luck would befall them.

In this snowy exotic isolated city, the morale of these Ye Jun, who were originally high morale and arrogance, began to decline rapidly, and the formation gradually became chaotic.
