Chapter 822: The Battle in the Western Regions (Part II)

"It's okay, we have time to play with them anyway." Li Zhe, the king of Qin, said to Li Yi.

Li Yi then said: "Lord Wang, Weichen asks Lord Wang Ye not to attack the Lost City of Tel tomorrow. ”

Li Zhe, the king of Qin, felt very strange when he heard this, and said, "Uncle, why is this? ”

Li Yi explained to Li Zhe: "The reason why Weichen postponed the attack on the city of Termi is actually to attract more main forces of the Cypriot army to the north to rescue, so that we can kill the main force of the Cypriot army in the first battle of Terma, and it will be much easier to attack the city in the future." ”

When Li Zhe, the king of Qin, heard Li Yi's answer, nodded and said, "Uncle is still thoughtful!" Then do as my uncle says! How many soldiers and horses do we have now? ”

Li Yi said to Li Zhe, the king of Qin: "Lord Wang, plus the 50,000 army brought by the prince, we now have nearly 200,000 troops outside the city of Telma, and during this time, Weichen plans to expand the original firearms battalion, so that half of our army is equipped with firearms, and it is a veritable heavy firearms army." ”

Li Yi nodded and said: "According to the will of the emperor's grandfather, this king can command an army of 200,000, and the 50,000 army brought by this king is just the beginning, the follow-up army of this king is already on the way, but there are only 100,000 people, which means that we can also recruit 50,000 troops in the territory of the Anxi Dadu Protectorate, I don't know what my uncle thinks?" ”

Li Yi said to Li Zhe, the king of Qin: "What Weichen means is that it is better to assign some of the elites on the front line to the new Qin army of the Dao prince, and the recruits recruited in Anxi will be added to the Anxi army, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Qin King Li Zhe's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way, but a good way that can't be better, this is simply stealing the army! You must know that the combat effectiveness of the Anxi Army is very strong, the establishment of the Anxi Army is only 80,000 people, and Li Yi will assign 50,000 elites to the Daoxin Qin Army in a word, which hurts the vitality of the Anxi Army, and if it is found out, it will be a serious crime, but Li Yi has been operating in Anxi for so many years, this little thing is simply a piece of cake for Li Yi; Moreover, these 50,000 troops are Li Yi's old subordinates, that is, Li Yi's descendants, and after the establishment of the New Qin State in the future, Li Yi will have a greater right to speak; This is simply killing two birds with one stone for Li Yi!

Time passed quickly, in just ten days, the banner of the new Qin was erected in the Xia army camp outside the city of Terma, at this time the new Qin army had 100,000 people, the 30,000 old soldiers of the Anxi army plus 20,000 marches also arrived, plus the tribal cavalry that came one after another, at this time the total strength of the Xia army camp outside the city of Termi has reached 300,000 people.

Of course, the Xia army has reinforcements to arrive, and the Seljuk army is not idle, the prince of the Seljuk Empire, Xue Qiaoe, came to Barihei after escaping from Telmi, where Xue Qiaoe temporarily assembled 300,000 troops to reinforce the city of Telma, and at the same time ordered the Ghaznavid Dynasty to send troops, at this time the Ghaznavid Dynasty has completely become a prisoner of the Seljuk Empire, so after receiving the order of Xue Joy, Ghaznavid sent 200,000 troops, and the two countries formed a coalition to march towards Terma.

"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper...... The two reinforcements of the Serbian army, totaling 500,000 troops, have arrived south of the city of Terma, and are currently crossing the Jihun River (Amu Darya). "A general came to the big tent of the Chinese army to report to Li Zheyu, the king of Qin.

Li Zhe, the king of Qin, laughed and said, "Okay! It's great, it looks like the Cypriots have sent their main forces! ”

"Lord Wang, this 500,000 army plus the Serbian army in the city, Weichen estimates that the total strength of the Serbian army will not fall to 600,000." Li Yi reported to Li Zheyu, the king of Qin.

"What are 600,000 people afraid of, we have more than 100 Shenwu cannons, no matter how hard they are, is there still this king's artillery?" Li Zhe, the king of Qin, said with a smile: "Li Duhu, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”

"Lord Yu, Weichen thinks that our army should retreat fifty miles first, and give up all other baggage except for important strategic baggage such as artillery and gunpowder." Li Yi looked at Li Zhe, the king of Qin, and said.

Qin King Li Zhe frowned and didn't speak, and at this time, another Xia general stood up and said, "Lord Wang, you can't withdraw!" The enemy army withdrew as soon as it arrived, isn't it cowardice before fighting! At this time, the momentum of our army's original victory was gone. ”

"My army can't withdraw ......," another general said.

In the big tent, most of the great Xia army generals did not agree to evacuate, and Li Zhe, the king of Qin, stared at Li Yi with his eyes and said: "This king believes in Li Duhu, and orders the army to retreat quickly for fifty miles, and in the future, the army will obey Li Duhu's command, Li Duhu has the right to arbitrary, what he said, the military orders he gave are what this king said, and the military orders he issued; All must be resolutely obedient. ”

When the generals heard Li Zhe, the king of Qin, say this, they immediately took the military order and said: "The last general will obey the order of the prince......

In fact, I didn't quite understand why Li Yi ordered the evacuation of Li Zhe, the king of Qin, so after the meeting, Li Zhe, the king of Qin, left Li Yi alone and asked: "Uncle, my nephew has something unclear, why did our army retreat fifty miles?" ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "Lord Wang, sometimes Weichen tells you that it is better for you to understand it yourself, and soon you will understand what Weichen means." ”

The speed of the Xia army's retreat was very fast, when the summer army evacuated the camp, the Xia army basically took a few things, all the war horses rode away, each carrying their own weapons and equipment, the rest was all the firearms and grain and grass, the Xia army each carried seven days of grain and grass, basically the camp pinched the grain and grass with only a very small part left, and the most left in the camp was ordnance, which included catapults, return cannons, bows and crossbows and other heavy ordnance.

On the day when the Xia army withdrew northward, the Serbian army occupied the camp of the Xia army, and at the same time, all the soldiers and horses of the Serbian army crossed the Jihun River; In the camp of the Xia army, the veteran Mehhat looked at the mountains of Xia army ordnance and said, "How can this be! Why did Xia Jun suddenly evacuate? ”

Xue Qiaoer looked at the empty Xia army camp and said: "It's very simple, because the Xia army has no grain and grass, just now this prince went to the Xia army's grain and grass camp to take a look, and the Xia army in the entire camp has basically no food and grass, which means that the Xia army has run out of food." ”

"It shouldn't be!" Mehhat said very cautiously: "How could Xia Jun make such a low-level mistake! Lack of food in the face of war. ”

"Old general, don't you know, the places occupied by the Xia army in the east are mostly barren land, and the grain production places in the entire Western Regions are also extremely scarce, plus now that the Xia army is at war with the Great Song Dynasty in the east, there is no time to look west, and most of the baggage of the Xia army still has to be supplied to the eastern battlefield."

"I see......"

Because the news was still very closed at this time, and the Great Song Empire had only been destroyed for about two months, the Seljuk Empire did not know the news that the Great Song Dynasty had fallen.

The second is more presented, asking for monthly ticket support......
