Chapter 354: Heavy Siege

After all the troops and horses were drawn, Li Liangzuo took Li Yue to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to the capital of the Black Khan Dynasty, Barasagon and went, now the Barasagon army is empty, most of the troops have been transferred to the front line by Suleiman, Li Liangzuo led the army to the city of Balasagon and did not enter the city immediately, but camped outside the city, only led a small number of guards into the city, in Balasagon Li Langzuo was unprecedentedly welcomed, led by the Black Khan Dynasty Prince Dekru and Witson, At this time, Witteson had been appointed prime minister by Suleiman due to the successful recruitment of reinforcements from the Xia army.

As soon as Li Liangzuo arrived at the Khan's tent, Whitson once again received a letter from Suleiman asking for help, Suleiman said in the letter: "Since the iron gate was broken, Ben Khan has retreated to Samad, how can the enemy be in hot pursuit, now Ben Khan has led tens of thousands of soldiers has been heavily surrounded by the Serbian army, and our soldiers are desperately defending, but how can the soldiers be outnumbered is not the opponent of the Serbian army, please send reinforcements to Samad to rescue, 100,000 are ......in a hurry."

After reading the letter asking for help, Witson said like Li Liangzuo, who was visiting the sweat tent: "The Xia Emperor has come from afar and worked hard, and he should let the Xia Emperor and his Xia army warriors repair for a few days, but the front line is extremely urgent, and the tens of thousands of troops led by the Great Khan have been besieged in Samad, and the subordinates ask Your Majesty to send troops to rescue as soon as possible." ”

"Surrounded again?" Li Liangzuo said in surprise; "You Great Khan will not fight after all! It's only been more than two months since the war started, and they have all lost three games in a row, so presumably the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Black Khan Dynasty have basically lost everything! ”

"The Cypriot army is strong, and our soldiers have been comfortable for a long time, so they will be defeated again and again, and now Your Majesty has led the Xia army reinforcements to arrive, the Great Khan and his subordinates are at ease, and His Majesty and the Celestial Empire are just around the corner to defeat the Cypriot army."

"Alright, don't be a sycophant." Li Liangzuo said without giving face at all; "I have led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to help you protect the country and defend against the enemy, and now my brothers have not even drunk saliva to eat, do you think this is appropriate?"

The crown prince Dekru saluted Li Liangzuo and said: "It is the negligence of the subordinates, and the subordinates will hold a banquet to entertain Your Majesty and the Xia army soldiers under his command." ”

"That's pretty much it." Li Liangzuo smiled and said; "You don't have to worry, before I came here, I had already sent the main army westward, and I did not inform the military in advance of the emergency, in order to ensure the safety of my westward expeditionary army, the cities along the way must be garrisoned by our Xia army, and all the supplies for this expedition will be borne by you, at present, I have sent two large armies, the main army is coming with me, and is now advancing on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Honghe River; On the other hand, the Northern Route Army, led by my sister-in-law, Li Wu, King of Qin, ordered me to move south along the east bank of the middle reaches of the Hong River, so that when the two armies converged, a new defensive line could be formed along the Hong River, so as to block the possibility of the Cypriot army advancing further eastward......"

"But my father ...... Khan"

Before De Crew's words were finished, he was stopped by Whitson, who smiled and said: "Your Majesty's arrangement is really seamless, and your subordinates admire it to the fullest, but my Great Khan is still desperately resisting the Serbian army in Samad, can Your Majesty send troops to support, so that the Great Khan can safely retreat to the Honghe defense line and then make plans." ”

"It makes sense, I will order troops to be sent to the rescue; It's just that the 10,000 soldiers under my command are still stationed outside the city......"

Before Li Liangzuo's words were finished, Wittson said to Li Liangzuo: "The subordinates have prepared barracks for the soldiers of the Celestial Empire in the city, and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire can move in at any time. ”

"Well, yes, yes, let's do it!"

After leaving the sweat tent, De Crwe asked Witson very angrily: "Why did you privately promise Li Liangzuo to let him live in the sweat tent, and also allowed Xia Jun to enter the city, who gave you the right?" ”

Witson looked at De Crewe with disdain and said, "Do you think you can stop Xia Jun's actions now?" I told Emperor Xia that he had come to the city of Barasagon this time, and that even if you prevented them from entering the city, they would come in; Do you think that with the thousands of old and weak people in the city, they can be the elite opponents of the Xia army? Don't daydream, I tell you that if you want to save your life, keep the khanate and your throne in the future, you have to listen to me. ”

"What about Father Khan?" De Crowe asked.

"The Great Khan probably won't come back." Witson said meaningfully.

"You mean Father Khan...... Wouldn't Xia Jun send troops to save ......?"

"Emperor Xia is now more than anyone else, and he can't come back from the Great Khan! What if the Great Khan returns? Now that the wolf has been lured into the house, do you think it is possible to let the wolf leave obediently? ”

In the end, Li Liangzuo brought 10,000 elite Xia troops into the city of Barasagon, and quickly occupied various strategic points in the city, Balasagon completely fell into the hands of Li Liangzuo, and with the continuous follow-up of Li Liangzuo's various armies, the areas north and east of the Honghe River have basically fallen into the hands of the Xia army, because Suleiman signed an agreement with Li Liangzuo, so the Xia army stationed in the cities basically did not encounter any resistance, and even many people thought that the Xia army was here to help them.

And after the Xia army was stationed in these places, it strictly abided by military discipline, did not destroy the property of the common people at all, and took the initiative to help them, compared with the army of the Black Khan Dynasty, it was a world of difference, for which the Xia army greatly won the hearts of the local people, Li Liangzuo wanted to completely occupy the entire Black Khan Dynasty and turn this place into his own forward base, of course, there were some soldiers who violated military discipline, and these people were all dealt with in accordance with military law.

Li Liangzuo's Xia army stopped continuing to advance after arriving along the Honghe River, and also built fortifications according to the direction of the river, obviously Li Liangzuo's defense was mainly in the first stage, after all, there was no clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Seljuk army, and Li Liangzuo would not rush into the army.

Li Liangzuo did not march, but Suleiman was destroyed, and now the city of Samad where Suleiman was stationed has been surrounded by the Serbian army, and the siege is impassable; In order to allow Suleiman to continue to hold on, Li Liangzuo did not tell Suleiman that there were no reinforcements, but sent spies to tell Suleiman that the Xia army had arrived at the Hong River and was about to cross the river but was blocked by the Serbian army, and the two sides were currently fighting, so they must hold on.

Suleiman laughed and said, "Tell the brothers that our reinforcements have arrived, and now we are fighting with the Serbian army, let the brothers hold on, we still have hope." ”

"Yes, Great Khan ......"

"Now we have enough grain, grass, weapons, and stones stored in the city for three months, and as long as we continue to hold on, we will surely achieve the final victory......"

Suleiman said this to the soldiers casually, but he didn't think so in his heart, Suleiman couldn't be sure whether Li Liangzuo would send troops to rescue, but Suleiman must hold on, because only by sticking to it can there be hope, and now the only thing Suleiman can do is pray, praying that Li Liangzuo can send troops to the rescue with kindness.
