Chapter 259: The siege is imminent
But that's all for later!
At present, due to the limited production efficiency of the Supervision Division, the supply of various military supplies is also strained. Only the Weapons Office, because the Governor's Office said that it was necessary to maintain an adequate supply of weapons. Therefore, most of the manpower and material resources of the Superintendent Division are invested in it.
And this time the cathars captured Nishapur, and the emphasis was on speed. So that in terms of eating, it is mainly simple. Soon after arriving in Nishapurshire, it was all consumed. Now the cathars' rations are all taken from the autumn rations that will be harvested in Nishapur County in the future.
The naan of the Grezy Witch was made of wheat flour brought from the city of Nishapur. What canned food, milk powder and the like, naturally there is no such condition to produce it.
At that moment, Ge Riwuqi devoured it in a big gulp, and in a blink of an eye, he was about to eat three naan. Then I drank a few glasses of hot water, and I felt extremely refreshed.
He lay down on the flat blanket for a while, and gradually fell asleep. It's also in this valley, and you can't go anywhere. In addition, if the weather is cold, there will be no major events for a while. That's why he can sleep with confidence, otherwise, he naturally wouldn't dare to be so idle.
In this way, in the afternoon, the wind and snow outside also stopped. Without the harsh howling of the wind, Grevuqi was a little uncomfortable. He opened his misty sleepy eyes and quietly looked at the tent above his head for a while. After reacting, he simply sat up and walked out of the tent.
Instantly, a gust of cold wind hit, making Gervulqi smart. The sleepiness that had not completely subsided finally dissipated completely.
I saw that the entire valley was filled with a faint layer of mist. In the distance, the mountains close to Guchang City are even more covered by the vast white. Walking on the ground, it will also make a crisp soft sound. However, the ground has become quite muddy after being watered by rainwater.
"The head of a thousand households!"
"The head of a thousand households!"
"The head of a thousand households!" After seeing Ge Riwuqi, the soldiers on patrol put their right hands to their chests and performed a military salute in the style of Islam.
Nodding his head, he replied, and came to the edge of the valley.
The view here is the broadest. The mountains, which were originally still vast, also showed a bit of outline. The oval-shaped spire, looming in the fog, is a mosque outside the city of Kuchang, built spontaneously by the common people in the market.
It is much higher than the military fort in Guchang City.
"The head of a thousand households!" , one of them came behind Ge Riwuqi and shouted a salutation.
"Ermani, there is no news yet?" As soon as Grevuch heard the voice, he knew it was Elmani. He didn't reply, and asked directly.
"Nope! Or the wind and snow in the past few days, so that it is inconvenient to pass it on! Armani explained with some caution. At the beginning, he told Li the words of his meeting with Ibn Laiys.
Li Dawei had a plan!
While allowing him to exaggerate the false news that the cathars were eager to seize the city, he sent an army to prepare to block the west side of Guchang City. As a result, they attacked on two fronts and wiped out the defenders of Guchang City.
It was also Ibn Laiz who spoke to Elmani when he inadvertently revealed the news of the emptiness of the city of Sylvan. Therefore, Li Wei was no longer satisfied with taking the city of Guchang.
In the end, Sylvan is the valley of the Atrak River, another important pass city. And the time when the city was built was longer than Guchang. There are houses, shops, and a military camp of considerable scale inside. Its walls are more than twice as tall as those of Guchang. It was built with a hard texture from the surrounding mountains, using 20,000 people nearby. Exhaustion of the dead, up to more than double. It was also a major event during the reign of the Seljuk Empire, which led to many rebellions and rebellions in the land of Nishapur.
After Khorezm took the city, it did not repair it much. But there is a foundation from the past, and it is still very strong.
If it is taken, the defense of Nishapur County will be centered on Sylvan. This not only made the rule of the Governor's Palace more stable, but also made the Cathar army much less restrained.
It's just that to take down Sylvan, the most important thing is Gu Chang. Therefore, Li Qiqi no longer uses protons as a condition, and exchanges the city for bloodlessness. Instead, he used a trick to open the city gate and annihilate all the defenders of Guchang City.
In one fell swoop, he took the two cities of Guchang and Sylvan, and put another shackle on the Atrak Valley.
At this moment, Ge Riwuqi listened to Elmani's answer, and said in a slight tone: "The head of the ten thousand households asked me to wait here in order to seize the opportunity and attack the city in one fell swoop. If the timing is extended because of the time, it is a breach of responsibility! ”。
Immediately, Elmani's heart sank, and he pleaded guilty: "The last will be convicted!" ”。 Although he was a thousand-legg, he was only one level lower than Gregory. But in the barracks, the hierarchy is unusually clear and strict.
In addition, he is still the commander of the army, so he has no status. Therefore, Ge Riwuqi only spoke a little heavier, and he couldn't help but panic.
"Now that the wind and snow have stopped, you can go and inquire about it!" , Ge Riwuqi didn't say anything else, and instructed directly.
Emani immediately answered, and bowed away.
But then, there was a sudden explosion in the sky. I saw a firework blooming on the other side of the mountain. Although the sky is still covered with thick clouds. But the fireworks that rose into the sky still tried their best to bloom with their original brilliance.
When Emani saw it, he was overjoyed and said, "The head of a thousand households! A thousand households! There's news! There's news! ”。
As soon as the words fell, seven fireworks exploded in the sky one after another. It's just that the direction has changed a lot.
"Tatsushi! Siege at the right time! Elmani pondered the code words set by the spies of the Department of Affairs. Comparing the number and location of the fireworks, it was immediately deduced that it was the hour of the hour.
Ge Riwuqi's solemn face also gave a little joy. Without saying much, he turned around and went back to the camp.
After summoning the generals of all ranks into the camp tents and simply announcing the news of the siege. Let them go back to their small units. led the soldiers and set off as a whole army.
The whole camp came alive immediately. One tent at a time, dismantled in the shortest possible time. The soldiers, like ants in the division of labor, are doing their own tasks.
So in a short time, the tents in the valley disappeared. The traces of those who have survived have also been buried by the apologetics and military soil. Rows of cathars stood straight, like sculptures, waiting for the order to go.
Ge Riwuqi did not delay, and after seeing that the whole army was ready, he ordered to set off for Guchang.
Not long after they left, the sky began to flutter with snowflakes again. This time, it was no longer mixed with rain, and it fell to the ground, and soon accumulated a thick layer. The footsteps of the cathars were immediately covered under the snow.
