Chapter 334 The First Heavy City in the Western Regions
The end of Tumut had an even greater impact on the Mengcheng people.
Today's Menggu Seven Khans are strong and weak, but no one can help anyone. They will also ally and fight each other, but they will only conquer each other, but they will not think of destroying their tribes completely.
After all, they are all of the ancient bloodline, and most of them are of Temujin's blood. Even if there is a war, it will only destroy a few households, but not their troops. But now the Tumut Department has been divided into eight, and it has also announced the demise of the Tumut Wanhu Division.
Yarkand Khan has the blood of the Central Asian Mongols in the Western Regions, with the fierceness of the Mongols and the madness of the Central Asians.
Turpan Royal City, royal palace.
Yarkand Khan Abdullah scolded angrily: "Damn it! Damn the Han Chinese! How dare you humiliate my Mongols like this! They should have been slaughtered back then. ”
The Han army did not attack the city, and the army of the Yarkand Khanate had already been assembled. This time, Ah Bu Dura is not just angry, the main thing is that the decisive battle is coming.
"Great Khan! Although the Han army is only 140,000 horses! But combat effectiveness should not be underestimated! The old prime minister frowned and said.
Ah, no, Dura, I don't know, but can he retreat?
"The Han army has come to the city, if our 200,000 troops don't dare to fight, then what is the face of my Yarkand department?"
Su Litang led the eastern surrender of the Han army, and Turpan lost half of its elite soldiers. Now Ahbudulla's Khan position is also in jeopardy! The anger of the heads of the tribes must also be vented.
"As the Great Khan wills." The old prime minister didn't say much.
Although he showed his attitude, he was not really stupid.
"Yarkand is not afraid of the Han army, but the Han people have fierce firearms. If the Han army attacks the city, the cavalry of the various divisions can attack and disturb it, and even cut off the rear supply of the Han army. ”
I see, the general Huliha also came to his senses. Even the eastern army of Sulithang was defeated, and he did not have the confidence to defeat the Han army. However, harassment is their unique job.
"Please rest assured, the Han army will definitely retreat in another month or two."
Seeing the general's clear intentions, Ah Bu Dula was also much more relieved.
"Huliha, you will go out of the city tomorrow, it's time to teach the Han army a lesson, let them know: the Western Regions is not where they Han people should come."
…
After the arrangement, Ah Bu Dula can be regarded as relieved. There are 50,000 elite soldiers in the Turpan royal city and 150,000 cavalry outside the city, which should be enough for the Han army to retreat.
Although the Dzungar tribe did not support them, they were not hostile to Yarkand, and even sent troops to the Central Asian steppes to subdue such traitors and madmen.
The rise of the Han army has threatened the hegemony and safety of all Mongols, and the Mongols have also intended to unite.
……
The time has come to autumn, and the Han army has finally barely adapted to the climate of the Western Regions. The weather is getting cooler, and the Han army can't wait any longer.
"Commander, this Yaerqiang obviously said that he would fight a decisive battle, but they are playing tricks!"
Chen Nan also sneered: "The Yarkand army has been assembled for several days, but they have not moved, it seems that they want to drag down our logistics." ”
Fortunately, there were Xiliang and eastern Turpan to provide food, otherwise the Han army could only retreat to Jiayuguan.
Luo Hu was anxious: "Commander, let's attack Turpan City tomorrow!" Scrap it and rebuild it. ”
The generals were already very anxious, and of course Chen Nan was also anxious.
"Okay, tomorrow we will attack the eastern city of Turpan."
"Honorable Order." The commander finally relented, and everyone rejoiced.
After more than a month of work, the camp of the Han army was also firmly built. The current pattern of Turpan's royal city is too small, and the new city will also be near the camp in the future.
Turpan Royal City is backed by the Tianshan Mountains and faces the Jiaohe River: it is a dangerous city. The early city pass was built during the Mengyuan Empire, and the fortified city of the first fortified city in the Western Regions made it difficult for heavy artillery to shake.
"Great Khan, it seems that the Han army is going to attack the city."
The stone pass under the foot of one kilometer is ten meters high and five meters thick, and Ah Bu Dula does not believe that the Han army can destroy it.
The Great Wall established by the Ming Dynasty in Jiayuguan was tall and strong, and their old rival, the Guancheng of Turpan, naturally could not lag behind. It can be said that the Turpan Pass was also forced out by the Ming army.
Compared with the border passes of Shanhaiguan and Jiayuguan, the city walls of the Central Plains Jingshi are still inferior.
"Hehe, these Han soldiers will be desperate." After saying that, he also began to leave the city.
Under the thick and tall city pass, Lin Hu was not surprised but sighed: "Luo Hu, do you know that if it weren't for this gate, the Turpan Kingdom would have been destroyed." If there was no Turpan Pass, the Ming Dynasty would have been able to cut off the connection between the Mongolian tribes and divide and rule. ”
Lin Hu smiled bitterly! "This thick city wall, at least it needs to be slowly bombarded by Yanhuang naval guns to break through!"
Chen Nan also spoke: "It's not okay to bombard the city gate, it's even difficult to blow up the gap!" ”
"Then fire attack?" Lin Huyan's eyes were smoking, and it was time to use the final weapon.
Chen Nan was also moved, but he also shook his head when he thought of the emperor's explanation.
"First persuade to surrender and then bombard the city, let the people of the Western Regions retreat, and then bombard with three missiles, and then shoot out all the missiles in half an hour." After this battle, there was no war in the northwest, and there was no need to leave missiles.
"Good! Give them a chance, and don't blame us if they're looking for death! Lin Hu also remembered the lord's explanation: there are few people in the Western Regions, and there are only a few Mongols in the local area, and the people in the Western Regions have not done much evil in the history of two thousand years, so it is not good for the Han army to kill too much.
Immediately after the decision was made, thousands of soldiers and cavalry went to shout to persuade them to surrender.
Naturally, the army of the Khanate would not surrender, and they were disdainful of the shouts of the Han army.
"Hehe, the Han army bombarded if they wanted to, as if we were afraid of them." It is a tall and thick stone city, and there is an inner wall inside the city gate to protect the gap in the city gate. The heavy city is in hand, and these soldiers certainly don't care about the artillery fire of the Han army.
Not surprisingly, after shouting for more than ten minutes, Fan Bing also began to leave.
The artillery, which had already been prepared, also began to work.
"Fire, fire."
Boom Boom~~ One hundred and fifty field guns roared again, and they ignored the city walls and only blasted towards the palace in the city.
Woo Woo ~ ~
One hundred and fifty fireballs flew high and then slammed down.
The speed of the flying iron ball began to slow down a little, but the speed increased a little when it fell, although it was not as good as before, but the power still scared away the thick gas.
In the court: Ah Bu Dula and the ministers and clan elders are in contact with each other, and Su Litang's betrayal makes him have to double down on the hearts of the people.
The scream came, and everyone was puzzled, because the sound was too real.
Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~ The tiles and planks splashed up, and then a few rays of sunlight also projected over.
Bumper ~~ The iron ball that fell on the girder also shattered.
"Ahh This is! The old prime minister screamed in a panic, and the wooden plank tiles hit him a few meters away.
Ah Budura's face was still cold, but his heart was extremely shaken.
Suddenly, anxious footsteps could be heard from the quiet palace.
"Great Han, the artillery of the Han army has broken through many palaces, please go to the west of the city immediately to prevent shelling."
The generals of the pro-soldiers have said so, and Ah Budura will no longer pretend to be forced.
"Damn Han people, let's go to the Chengxi Courtyard first."
The old prime minister immediately stood up: "Great Khan, please lead the way, the old minister also wants to have a look at the other courtyard." ”
The sweat who forced a smile on his face and tried his best to pull a smile: "Haha, okay, let's go." ”
Boom boom boom ~~~
Boom~Whistle~~
The sound of the hypsoteric made more than 100,000 people in the city tremble, and the smashed houses made the people of the city even more distressed and dripping blood.
