Seeing the King of Heaven smiling and waiting for them to solve their doubts, Prime Minister Zuo immediately cooperated: "Dare to ask the King of Heaven, why did you send an envoy to Turpan Kingdom?" Weichen is ignorant, and it is difficult to see the meaning of the king! ”

Prime Minister Zuo looked curious, this was exactly the result that Sha Tianwang wanted.

Drinking tea lightly, Sha Tianwang said unhurriedly: "Xiliang people have always been pro-Han, and many of them are Han!" Even if they can resist, it is very weak, and the main force of the 180,000 Han army is not something that a group of scattered sand can deal with. This king expected that the Gansu tribes would soon be defeated and surrendered! ”

The right prime minister also rushed to speak: "I see! It's still the king of heaven! To fight against the Han army in the middle lane, it is necessary to let the Turpan people send troops. These people of Xiliang are also used to the rule of the Han people, and they will not fight hard at all! ”

"The right prime minister is really insightful! In this case, Aiqing will send an envoy to Turpan. Seeing that the right prime minister was so clear, Sha Tianwang made a decision.

Ay! The right prime minister is bitter! Not to mention the fatigue of the carriage and horses, it is also a chore to be interrogated by various Mongolian ministries.

"Honorable Order." Reaping the consequences, the right prime minister can only receive orders.

The sand king who pointed out the country and did everything. If the Han army gathers to attack, he will still be worried, but attacking the northwest in three ways is simply looking for death. Not to mention logistical supplies, the terrain distance alone made it difficult for the Han army to bear.

The Western Route Army also dared to attack the plateau, and it was even more self-defeating.

The Ming Ningxia guard, now the southeast guard of the Xixia people.

This stone wall was originally a strong fortress for the Han Chinese to defend against the Mongols, but now it has been captured by the Tanguts again.

During the Wanli period, there was a rebellion in the northwest, and Ningxia Sanwei was the main stronghold of the rebels at that time. After the Ming army eliminated the old nobles of the rebellious tribes, the new nobles of the tribes were also able to rise. The Shamen family was also personally supported by Emperor Wanli.

But people's hearts are greedy and endless, and when the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, the loyal and courageous generals will naturally stand up and rebel as soon as possible.

The solid stone walls have not been repaired and reinforced for decades! After the war in the Han court became tight, the customs and defenses of the towns in the northwest were gradually abandoned. The Tangut people, who were not skilled in herding and cultivated the land, naturally did not repair the city walls, and I am afraid they did not even have ordinary formulas.

Even if it has not been reinforced and maintained for decades, the thick stone walls are still a strong fortress in the northwest.

The 200,000-strong general Haimeng, his tall figure: unusually tall on the city wall.

The dust and smoke dissipated, and the vast black military array also appeared in everyone's eyes.

The neat and standard phalanx was clear at a glance, and the motionless Han army was quietly staring at the important town built by the Han craftsmen.

"Ningxia defender! It is the support of Ningxia Sanwei! Now he has the surname Xia! The familiar Ming Banner has disappeared, which makes Chen Chang, who was a veteran of the Nine Sides, extremely emotional.

Wu Li sneered and looked at the city wall: "If these Western Xia people didn't protect them from the Ming Dynasty, how could they grow stronger again, maybe they would have been swallowed up by the Mongols long ago!" Now that it is good, it has swallowed up our Ningxia Sanwei! ”

Chen Chang nodded: "Set up camp first, shell tomorrow, and slaughter the city the day after tomorrow." There is no need to be soft on these rebellions: those who resist will not be killed if they do not kneel, and those who do not swear allegiance to the Yanhuang Empire will be killed. ”

"Honorable Order!" Wu Li and all the officers responded to the order.

The Han people have always treated Hu Lu with tenderness, and they also made the Hu people like rebellion at every turn, even if the rebellion is over, they are also very keen to slaughter the Han people. This time, Chen Chang didn't plan to be soft again, otherwise he would have to wait until the emperor personally ordered to bear the violent name, and that would be his sin!

The quiet Han people dispersed, and they set up camp, but General Hai Meng felt uneasy!

"Ma Tiele, immediately lead 30,000 iron horsemen out of the city, don't fight hard, just test the reality of the Han army."

"Honorable Order!" Ma Tiele was overjoyed, he had thought that he would meet the Han army for a while. The Han army must have been very tired from trekking, and this time it was to send him a score question.

Although the Han army was encamped, some of the men and horses were on guard. The 20,000 cavalry did not even dismount, and several thousand artillery men also set up defensive artillery arrays. There were also 8,000 armor soldiers and 12,000 musketeers, all of whom were forced to line up on the city wall.

Wu Li even let go of the war ox, and 10,000 war oxen also began to assemble and prepare.

"Hey, hey, good!" Seeing the Western Xia cavalry out of the city, Wu Li couldn't help laughing.

Lin Chang also smiled: "Wu Li, don't move lightly!" Let them try the combat power of the Tanguts first! ”

"Okay!" The 20,000 firearms array had already begun to line up, and Wu Li was embarrassed to grab the credit.

"The artillery of all units is not allowed to move lightly." Seeing that the gunners were ready to load, Chen Chang hurriedly shouted. He knew that this was just a temptation of the Tangut people, the Han army was powerful all over the world, and the Tangut people would not easily go out of the city for a decisive battle no matter how arrogant they were.

Head of the city.

Seeing that there was no superfluous chaos in the Han army, General Haimeng couldn't help frowning! "It seems that the Han army really has some ability!"

After the 30,000 cavalry went out of the city and lined up, Ma Tiele also immediately laughed and said: "Haha, 20,000 infantry want to resist the Western Xia iron cavalry, the Han people are too ignorant. ”

"The brethren are not allowed to come close to the 60-meter range." The killing range of the Han firearms archers is only within sixty or seventy meters, and their bows and arrows are not weaker than the Han army's firearms with the speed of war horses.

"It's the general." The commanders responded a little perfunctorily, if the Han army was afraid, they might be killed into the formation of the Han army. They hadn't killed Han Chinese for a long time, and they were even starting to miss it.

"Rush forward! Rush~"

Sigh law ~~

Rushing ~ Boom ~ ~ 30,000 cavalry charged together, swarming like a flood that destroyed the sky.

Boom~~ The sound is like a tsunami, and even the dust is scared to fly into the sky.

There were 10,000 people, and the 30,000 horses made the whole land tremble.

The two wings behind him were guarded by heavy cavalry, and the firearms array did not need to defend both sides, and all 20,000 men were facing the front.

Eight thousand shield soldiers were formed in two columns, and the unusually dense guns were arranged like a forest shield like a city. The 12,000 men of the three columns of firecrackers are a bit sparse, and after the killing of Chudi, the current Han army is even more cold. Life and death are used to seeing each other, and the family is also maintained by the empire, and the Han army also began to numb life and death on the battlefield.

The first division of the First Army, as its name suggests. The first division lived up to the name of the first division, and the cavalry was earth-shattering, but they were very indifferent.

Boom boom boom ~~ The ground trembled, and all the Han troops in the rear also stopped their movements. It's a pity that the battlefield is full of human heads, and only the black curtain of iron horses in the sky can be seen in the distance.

Three hundred meters, the speed of the cavalry began to burst out.

Sigh law ~ ~ enthusiastic war horses, galloping very happy.

Two hundred meters, the cavalry leading the team in front had already taken out bows and arrows. Born as nomads, they are naturally skilled in bows and horses.

"One hundred and eighty meters~"

"One hundred and sixty meters~"

In fact, you can shoot at 200 meters, but you can't shoot accurately if it's too far.

"First column shooting." The commander of the first division shouted, and the captains and battalion commanders also shouted immediately.

The firecracker, who had been aiming for a long time, smiled faintly, and at the same time his fingers hooked quickly.

Bang Bang Bang~~ The recoil made the firecrackers shake their hands, but a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.

"Squat down, you!"

"Squat." Not only did the captains scold, but the second row of firecrackers in the back also scolded.

As soon as he woke up, the first column of firecrackers who pretended to be forced hurriedly squatted down to clean up the ashes.

"Ah no~"

Sigh Rhythm ~ ran two steps, and the war horse suddenly rolled to the ground.

4,000 firearms and 4,000 iron beads, so that a thousand cavalry and even men and horses were divided into projectiles. If they had dispersed a little longer, the battle would have been more than a thousand.

Boom~~~

Ah no~~ The war horse rolled, and he didn't forget to take the cavalry to press a few laps of soil.

The cavalry, which is a combination of waist and horse, would rather be crushed to death than leave the war horse on both legs, which also shows the superb skill of the nomadic warriors.
