Chapter 558: The Brave General Surrenders
On the way back to Guazhou, Li Chengji stopped in Shouchang County again. He met with the demoted generals of the Xia State and inquired about the casualties caused by the black sandstorm. When it was time to leave, Gao Yi had something to ask to see alone.
"The lord of the country, the last general will have the courage to recommend one person." , Gao Yi was led to Li Chengji and said loudly. After being exiled in Khorasan, he has been working as an errand by Li Dahai's side. Because of his outstanding performance, Li Dahai recommended him to Li Chengji, so that he could be reused.
Li Chengji personally tried it and found that Gao Yi really had a unique opinion on the affairs of the soldiers. He was filled into the army and held a middle-level military position. Because Khorasan expanded too quickly, there were too many soldiers and horses. Therefore, many generals are low-level and high-matched, and Gao Yi has the opportunity to lead the army alone.
In this attack on the Xia Kingdom, Gao Yi led an army alone. The two counties of Dunhuang and Shouchang on the sandbank were persuaded by him to surrender.
Although some people in the army also questioned that Gao Yi was an old general of the Xia Kingdom, he was afraid that he would not be subservient to Khorasan. But Li Chengji still retained full trust in him and let him be hired on the battlefield.
This made Gao Yi grateful, but also put away the unbearable for Xia Guo.
In the end, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. The rise of Khorasan and the weakening of the Xia kingdom can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. And just before Hezhou was breached, his family was taken to Hamili. I haven't seen each other for a year, but it's like a few years. Li Chengji's kindness, he also remembered it in his heart.
"Oh! Who actually asked General Gao to recommend it personally? Li Chengji said curiously. No matter who Gao Yi recommends, Gao Yi's mind alone shows that he has seen himself as one with Khorasan.
"After the Shazhou Wang clan, he is bold and courageous, and Jila Siyi is also!" After Gao Yi finished speaking, Li Chengji looked at the young man standing not far away.
It was a man with a party hair ornament and three strands of sideburns on the top of his head, just like Sanmao in the cartoon.
"Call him!" , Li Chengji said, and as soon as the guards went to bring him over.
"The villain Gila Siyi meets the lord of the country!" On the way here, I heard Gao Yi say the etiquette of Khorasan, so he bowed and said.
"Hmmm! The bones of the body look good, but how many bows can be made? Li Chengji sat on his horse and said condescendingly.
"The villain is not talented, only makes five bows!" , Jila Siyi said with a calm face.
This aroused Li Chengji's interest, so he looked around and said to Kule: "This person said that his arm strength is better than yours, but he is still convinced?" ”。
After being slapped in the face by Li Chengji, Kule put away the arrogance in his heart. received an olive branch from Li Chengji again, and he was willing to accept it. was included in the Guards Division by Li Chengji, starting from a low-level guard.
At this time, he was among the guards, and was named by Li Chengji, and immediately stood up and said: "My subordinates ask for a fight!" ”。
It just so happened that a flock of geese flew in the sky, and Li Chengji asked people to take out a pair of longbows and hand them to Jila Siyi, and said loudly: "Within ten numbers, which of you shoots more geese wins!" ”。
It's not just arm strength, it's also about accuracy.
Gilasy fiddled with the longbow, familiar with the feel. Khurer tugged on the bowstring and adjusted the angle.
For the sake of fairness, Lee Seung-ji did not urge Jila Siyi. After all, a longbow is not a crossbow, not to mention more than a meter high, and the weight is not light. Although the bow is very tense, it also needs to be pulled. Although Khule had been using the longbow for a short time, he still had an advantage over Gilasyi's first contact.
"Lord, the villain is ready!" , Gilass said.
Li Chengji didn't say much, and he made people fall ten, nine, and eight······
The two did not rush to shoot arrows at first, but aimed at the geese in the sky and constantly adjusted the angle. It wasn't until the countdown to three seconds that the two let go of their arms one after another. The extremely large bow hyun also retracted sharply and shot the arrow.
Poof······
It was not the geese that fell to the ground first, but the half-broken bow and arrow. Li Chengji saw clearly, and Khule's arrow hit the wild goose first. But Jira Siyi came from behind, not only shooting the wild goose, but also undiminished momentum, nailing half of the wild goose in Kule.
The second half of the arrow was also broken.
It's not luck, it's real technology.
Li Chengji was happy and immediately let him accompany him. Although he has not yet been given an official position, he has the opportunity to accompany him, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes an official. As for Gao Yi, who was recommended, he was also promoted by Li Chengji to the commander of a thousand and was responsible for the military defense of Shazhou.
Although there is no major war in Shazhou County at the moment, his main duty is not to fight. but to hunt down the people of the sandbank. Because of the lessons learned from the Mongol attack on Shazhou City, many people took refuge in the nearby mountains or deserts. How to find them out will require him to exert his abilities.
Gao Yi knew that Khorasan had an urgent need for the population, and hurriedly promised to do his best to handle the matter.
returned to Guazhou in this way, and the latest battle report of Suzhou being broken was sent to Li Chengji. However, it was Ali Hirrid, the general of the original Khorezm, who led 5,000 tribal soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the interval when the black storm was raging in Suzhou, and suddenly approached the city of Suzhou. followed the tried and tested gunpowder method to blow up the door, and broke through the Suzhou city gate in one fell swoop.
The defenders of the Xia Kingdom still wanted to resist stubbornly, but with the influx of more and more Khorasan soldiers, the guards were also weak. Under the pressure of Khorasan's step-by-step, he fought to the death.
However, Ali Hilrid's men and horses also lost 20% of their horses and suffered numerous wounds. Obviously, although the Xia Kingdom was broken by the Mongols, the hundred-legged insects died without stiffness, and they still had a certain strength.
Li Chengji was promoted to the military position of Ali Hilrid, and asked him to come back to repair and replenish the soldiers and horses. Anyway, in this crusade, there are not many others, and there are the most soldiers and horses. And they are all tribesmen, and no matter how many casualties there are, they will not be able to wear away the foundation of Khorasan. Not to mention that it can also weaken them and increase the deterrent power of Khorasan in the steppe.
At the same time, the Xingqing Mansion of the Xia Kingdom. The military report of Khorasan's conquest of the two states of Shagua was also quickly transmitted back to the palace city of Xia Kingdom.
Li An'an, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, has been in charge of the Dingqi for five years, and there have been many natural disasters since he succeeded to the throne. In the old years, the Mongols raised troops, which made the Western Xia miserable. Seeing that it was not easy to accept women to pay tribute to let Mongolia withdraw its troops, I didn't want Khorasan to raise troops in Xia this year.
This is really a man-made disaster, and the fate is so bad!
"Bell bell bell ······", summoning the ministers, the bell of the opening of the dynasty kept ringing, and many Xia officials hurried to the Zihuan Hall to discuss matters.
Although the Xia State was founded by the Dangxiang clan, all the ceremonial systems were imitated from the Song State. The entire Western Xia Imperial Palace is also a miniature version of the Song court. It's just that there are still a lot of architectural relics from the Tang Dynasty and a little bit of the national characteristics of the party clan, which seems a bit nondescript.
