"The results of the battle have been counted, and our army has captured a total of 253,170 war horses, captured 137,412 Serbian troops, and a number of weapons and armor," a general reported to Li Yiyu: "After the battle, the Cypriot army has been greatly injured and is unable to continue fighting with our army, but ours have all been used up." ”

"Don't worry, there will be a batch of deliveries this afternoon." Li Yi said: "The three armies were ordered to rest for three days, and after three days, the army was distracted. ”

"Into the Terra?" The general was shocked: "Isn't it too risky for Dadu to protect this?" ”

"Telmi is an important stronghold of the Serbian army on the north bank of the Amu Darya River, and the Serbian army has been expanding Telmi over the years, turning it into an important forward base for the Northern Expedition to Anxi, where the Serbian army has placed countless grains, grasses and ordnance, and only by completely pulling out this stronghold can the Serbian army eliminate the threat to Anxi." Li Yi said to the generals: "And this is an excellent fighter for us, I am afraid that the Serbian army that fled back after this battle is less than 100,000 people, and they are all frightened soldiers, the Serbian army and the elite who are defending the city, Xue Qiaoer can fight for 1230,000 people at most, and they are all a gang of rabble, just we take this opportunity to completely exterminate it." ”

"Yes, the last general ordered this to be arranged," General Xia immediately ordered.

After escaping into the city, Xue Qiaoer was able to breathe a sigh of relief, at this time Xue Qiaoer was already down, his handsome robe had long been lost and he didn't know where to throw it, and he came back wearing only a pawn's clothes, and after entering the city, Xue Qiaoer was immediately sent into the line, Xue Qiaoer, who had been in a daze for two days, didn't pay attention to any etiquette after seeing the pastries, and went up to grab it and eat it! And because he ate too quickly, he almost didn't choke to death.

After eating for a while, Xue Qiaoe changed his clothes under the clothes of his subordinates, and after all the wine and food were full, Xue Qiaoe sent someone to invite Mehhat and asked: "Old general, what are the losses of our army in this battle?" ”

Mehhat said to Xue Qiaohe: "Your Highness, you better rest for your life!" Let's talk about this later! ”

"No, Prince Ben has to know now." Xue Qiaoe insisted.

Mehhat had no choice but to say to Xue Qiaohe: "Our army has suffered huge losses in this battle, less than 100,000 of the 400,000 troops have returned, and the morale is low and there is no strength to fight again in a short time. ”

Hearing Mehart say this, Xue Qiaohe sat on the ground and said, "The most elite army of 400,000 in my Seljuk Empire is no longer in the hands of this prince, so how can I meet my father." ”

"Your Highness, you better rest in peace!" Mehhat said to Xue Qiaohe: "The old minister still wants to go and collect the soldiers, so he will take his leave first." ”

Under the command of Mehhat, the Serbian army began to defend the Termi, the entire Terrfan city was built a tall, high city and an extremely wide area, the Cypriot army built a large number of granaries and armories in the city, and there were large return cannons, all the soldiers who retreated were put on new military uniforms and armor, from a distance they looked majestic, but in fact they no longer had the slightest combat power, and now I am afraid that if they shout that the summer army is coming, they may immediately scatter and flee.

After three days of rest and preparation, Li Yi's southern expeditionary army was finally prepared, the summer army had a total of 55,000 people in this battle, of which these 5,000 people were all firearms battalions, these 50,000 troops were cavalry in Li Yi's southern expedition army carried this large amount of baggage to the city of Termaze, from the iron gate pass road to the city of Terra, and the Xia army walked for five days, only marching fifty miles a day, and the Xia army camped thirty miles north of the city of Termaze.

This is the first time Li Yi has seen the Lost City of Te Er after many years, and Li Yi said while looking at it: "What a strong city! But it's also a dead city. ”

"Dead City?" The general asked puzzledly, "What does this mean by the protection of the capital?" ”

"This city was built against the water, although it was built high and not easy to be flooded, but once the defense of the city fails, the defenders in the city will have nowhere to escape, isn't this a dead city?" Li Yi said to the generals beside him.

"But Dadu Hu, it is precisely because of the backwater to defend the city that the Serbian army defending the city will be desperately defending the city, and the last general thinks that our army will have to pay a great price if they want to capture this city," the general said to Li Yi.

"What you said is also reasonable, if our army is to attack strongly, it will have to pay a lot of price, but don't forget, we use heavy firearms battalions, and we can just blast the city wall open with return artillery and artillery." Li Yi said to the generals.

"Dadu Guard, the walls of the Terra fans are all built with blue-striped stones, which are extremely strong, I'm afraid they will not be breached!" The general said to Li Yi.

"How can you know if you don't try!" Li Yi immediately ordered: "Order, the army will rest all night today, and tomorrow the siege will tell the brothers to keep their eyes open to Pontus tonight to prevent the Serbian army from attacking the camp at night." ”

"Yes, the last general commands"

Inside the Lost City of Theer.

"Report, report, report Your Highness, the Xia army has arrived outside the city and is camping in the north of the city." A herald ran in to report.

"It seems that the Xia army has really come to attack the city." Xue Qiaoe put his hands behind his back and said, "Hurry up, the old general Mehat, come and see Prince Ben." ”

Soon Mehat arrived, and Mehat asked Xue Qiaohe, "Your Highness called the old minister to come for the Xia army outside the city?" ”

"What is the old general's best way to break the enemy?" Xue Qiaoe asked.

Mehhat said: "Lao Chen has no good strategy to break the enemy, Lao Chen thinks that the key to this battle is to hold on to the Xia army Although the firearms are sharp, but we have a strong city as protection, the Xia army wants to attack it is not an overnight thing, and the Xia army's grain supply needs to be transferred from thousands of miles away, and our army has a full ten years of grain and grass in the city, even if it is delayed, it can also make the Xia army retreat."

"Then everything will be done according to the old general's instructions!" Xue Qiaoe said to Mehhat: "This matter of defending the city will be handed over to the old general, and the importance of the Terra fan does not need to be said by the prince, and the old general also knows that he must defend the city no matter what." ”

"Yes, the old minister commands," Mehhat said stubbornly.

In order to be able to defend the city, Mehat is also fighting, there is no Terra Maze in the city, but there are a large number of return cannons, the return cannons of the Serbian army are basically the same as those used by the Xia army, these return cannons are the key to defending the city, although the Serbian army does not have it, but there are stones in the city! Moreover, both large and small stones were used, which was enough to cause serious losses to the Xia army in the morning.

In the early morning of the next day, the Xia army had already set up a position outside the city, and a general came to Li Yi and reported: "Dadu Hu, the heavy firearms battalion has been prepared, please give an order." ”

Li Yi used a telescope to observe the city of Ter'er and ordered: "Order, attack immediately, first come to the city, and then attack the city wall." ”

"Yes, obey the order of the capital guard," the general immediately took the order and left. 11
