Chapter 344: The Mongols Attack Xia

For the boundaries of Chaik Town, Shaharu is still relatively familiar. Therefore, seeing that the opponent's horsepower is faster, he deliberately ran into the forest with more grass and trees.

After bending and twisting again, he finally threw off the Liao army like a dogskin plaster.

In this way, after dusk, the horse rode back to the town of Chak.

Along the way, Li Chengxue was very quiet. Or they knew that Shaharu had saved themselves, so they were very obedient and did not make any noise. Shaharu put it in front of him and sat down more comfortably. It's just that Li Xiao still hasn't woken up, which makes Li Chengxue frown.

After the time of two incense sticks, the grass on the ground has obvious traces of gnawing. Apparently close to the edge of the starving steppe.

I walked a little further and crossed a high slope. Several pieces of the debris of the burning fire immediately appeared in front of the eyes. When I got closer, I could see a male corpse with his neck wiped on his face.

"Yikes!" , Li Chengxue on horseback was surprised.

Shaharu took a few looks and knew that it was a local herdsman.

When he went hunting, he had exchanged some arrows from this slave's house.

Further on, a half-grown child reclined on the ground. There is an arrow stuck in the back with the word 'Liao' on it.

Shaharu's mind relaxed slightly, and he became vigilant again. deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse and swayed to the town of Chakke.

When I turned around the forest by a pool, I saw the corpse of a woman stripped naked. Looking at the appearance of his eyes cracked, it was obvious that he was insulted to death. It was the first time Li Chengxue had seen such a terrifying scene, and he was so frightened that he buried his head in Shaharu's arms.

Even at first, she was too frightened by Shaharu's sinister appearance to approach.

Shaharu didn't feel anything, just looked at the beast-like Turkestan Mountains.

But soon, his face changed. Because the town of Chaike at the foot of the mountain has completely changed. The blue house was all burned to ashes. The earthy yellow Ayiwang has also become a ruined wall. There is no other color in the town except black.

Wisps of green smoke floated up and dissipated into the air.

Bell··· The sound of bells came right from the front. I saw an old man driving a camel cart, and he was rushing towards him with a panicked expression.

"May Allah protect you! What's going on in town? Shaharu stopped the old man and said with a frown.

"It's Liao! It's Liao! They surrounded the town of Chaik and said they were looking for someone. Fearing that they would deliberately seek an excuse to plunder, the town sealed the gate of the village and prevented them from entering.

The result - the result--- they shot arrows at the town and burned the town with a fire! The old man said with a sad face. If he hadn't been outside the town at that time, he would have been burned to ashes along with the people in the town.

"What a bunch of devils they are!" , Shaharu said angrily. But in my heart, there was not much fluctuation.

is also because he often does some torturous work, so he doesn't take life and death so seriously. The two who saved Li Xiao before were also completely out of their own selfishness. Because judging from the words of the Liao army and the situation that the Liao army chased after them as soon as they came out, they must be the people the Liao army wanted to chase.

So he thought of saving them, so that he could send them to the princess to ask for credit.

At that time, if he really makes any contributions, he will not be able to be appreciated by the princess.

In addition, the military discipline of the Liao army is corrupt and not new. Because this world is like this. Like the garrisons of the Khanate, they did not infest the place less.

It's just that what he doesn't understand is that the Liao army has crossed the border for so long. The border troops of the Khanate stationed there, why did they not see any movement at all.

After all, in the Gulf of Kerts, there were two thousand border troops stationed.

He said suspiciously: "The border army is so close, didn't they come forward to stop it?" ”。

When the old man heard this, he immediately sighed and said sadly: "They are coming!" But after being scolded by the commander of the Liao army. It's like a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding back in Kett Bay and pretending not to see it. ”。

As the suzerainty of the Khanate, the Liao army is superior to others in the territory of the Khanate. The border army stationed in Kete Bay naturally did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Liao army.

Knowing these causes and effects, Shaharu said suspiciously: "What about the princess?" Haven't you descended yet? Princess Degunaba, who has always paid attention to fame, will never watch the people of the Khanate being wantonly slaughtered by the Liao army.

"Hey! The princess went yesterday and never came out of the mountain. If she were, there would never be such a wicked thing. The old man said compassionately, and drove the camel cart to the depths of the grassland to avoid trouble.

Shaharu knew that the princess would return, so he did not dare to go far. So he found a more secluded place near Zack, settled down and waited for news.

On this occasion, Liangzhou (Wuwei) in Xiliangfu, Western Xia.

Although the sky was getting dark, there were lights inside and outside the city. There was also a crowd on the city wall, but it was a Western Xia soldier with a tense expression.

Since January of the third year of Yingtian, the smell of the New Year has not dissipated. The Mongols took the opportunity to return to Heyi Prefecture (Hami) and attacked the Xia Kingdom for the third time from the Western Front. Guazhou guards were unprepared and abandoned the city overnight. The 40,000 troops of the Xiping Military Division stationed in Guazhou, under the leadership of the deputy general, surrendered to Mongolia. So that the Mongolian Khan Genghis Khan, without much effort, won Guazhou.

Then he crossed the city without entering, led most of the troops, and attacked Suzhou overnight. The Suzhou garrison led 20,000 Xia troops out of the city to fight, and was dragged down by the second son of the Mongol Great Khan and beheaded by his horse.

Thus, in one day, Lianke had two Xia Kingdom and two state cities.

The general of Xuanhua Mansion (Ganzhou), who heard the news, urgently summoned the whole army of the Gansu Military Division to respond to the enemy. On the banks of the Blackwater River, the two sides engaged in a big battle. The Mongol army avoided the main force of the Xia army and attacked the flank of the Xia army. And to make a feint of defeat, induce the Ganzhou garrison general to lead the Chinese army, chasing and killing the remnants of the enemy.

As a result, the third son of the Mongol Great Khan, Ogedei, led an ambush halfway and suddenly killed. directly took the head of the Ganzhou guard, prompting the defeat of the Xia army.

Immediately captured the two cities of Ganzhou Mansion and Delete Dan (Shandan). Later, he fought with the defenders of Xiliang Mansion, who sent troops to reinforce, and started a big battle in Rouge Mountain. The Xia army was defeated, and the defenders were captured and defeated.

When the Mongolian army arrived in Xiliangfu, the lord of Xia had ordered the crown prince Li Chengzhen to be the marshal, and the capital governor Ling Gong Gaoyi to be the deputy marshal, and supervised 50,000 troops to enter Liangzhou City.

Originally, the main defense line of the Xia Kingdom was placed in the north. The first two Mongol attacks on Xia also entered the customs from the north. But this time, the news of the return to the crane was too tightly concealed. It is also the border between Huihe and Xia, and the old years were cut off due to the entanglement of the border city.

So that the news, it is not a little slow.

In addition, Mongolia frequently sent exploration horses across the border in the old years. There were small groups of soldiers and horses, and even arrived under the city of Wurahai. As a result, the monarchs and ministers of the Xia State all thought that Mongolia would enter the customs from the north.

Therefore, the Mongols invaded the Xia Kingdom for a few days and captured three cities in a row, and the Xia State was safe, so he hastily organized troops and horses, dispatched troops, and went south to defend against the enemy.
