Chapter 267: Samarkand

For example, get some grain and grass, let the Kangju people grab it, and then surround it to help.

Fa Zheng laughed, "What General Meng Qi said, is exactly the method I want to use, since you have proposed it yourself, then this task of showing weakness to the enemy will be handed over to you." ”

Everyone laughed, and Ma Chao muttered to himself, "Okay, you are filial piety, and you dig a pit and wait for me to jump, showing that the enemy is weak, can you use me?" ”

Subsequently, Fa Zheng summoned all the officers above the brigade commander level to lay out a specific battle plan.

Fa Zheng had been waiting for the arrival of reinforcements for a long time, and made a detailed plan, and after getting the approval from Sima Yi and Ma Chao, he strengthened his confidence and let it go.

Fa is the protector of the Western Regions, and he is the commander of the expeditionary force, and everyone has no objection to his arrangement.

Samarkand is one of the royal cities of Kangju and the second largest city after Tashkent, with a population of nearly 300,000 in the surrounding area.

The supreme administrative military governor stationed in the city was called Alain, the second son of King Kangju and the second in line to the throne.

He sat in the city of Samarkand and was in charge of the military and political power of the southern provinces of Kangju, and in the eyes of his father, he was still very shrewd and capable, so he was entrusted with important tasks.

There were 50,000 elite cavalry stationed in the city of Samarkand, accounting for almost half of the Kangju army, including 10,000 of the most elite longbow cavalry.

Kangjuguo's longbow cavalry is a major feature of their national army, and the longbow cavalry is naturally a longbow used, a compound longbow, and the longbow cavalry with an arm strength beyond ordinary people can shoot a hundred zhang away.

Moreover, the longbow cavalry wears heavy chain mail, and the war horses also wear chain mail, which is much better protection than ordinary cavalry, and the longbow also has a much longer range and is much more powerful than the hunting bow.

The longbow cavalry were carefully selected elite soldiers with outstanding arm strength and excellent archery skills.

Originally, Prince Alan planned to invade Dawan and expand his territory, so as to impress his father more deeply and improve his succession as soon as possible.

But before he could make a move, a group of Han people came, and they knocked down Guishan City and occupied the entire territory of Dawan Kingdom.

Damn the Han Chinese, they've been here for hundreds of years, what are they coming back for?

Haven't they already stolen a lot of Dawan BMWs? However, he did not act rashly, because these Han people broke Guishan City in a short period of time.

It was a well-known castle in Central Asia, with two layers of inner and outer cities, and it seems that these Han people still have some means.

Prince Alain had always considered himself a wise and courageous commander, and when he heard that the Han people had raised a nobleman close to the Han people to become king, he had an idea.

He sent people to visit all over Dawan, and finally found an illegitimate son of the former Dawan royal family, he trained and packaged this prince, and then used this royal heir to contact various forces within Dawan that opposed Han rule.

With the strong support of Kang Juguo, and the reputation of nominally uniting everyone, the arrogance of the domestic resistance forces in Dawan has soared.

connected with each other, and soon there was a spark that turned into a prairie fire.

Although the Han army occupied the entire territory of Dawan, after all, the strength was limited, and the main force of the Han army was concentrated in a few larger cities such as the capital of Dawan, and the garrisons on the periphery were the coalition forces of the Western Regions with low combat effectiveness.

Recently, I heard that the Han army has asked for reinforcements from China, it seems that the ambition of the Han army is not small, do you dare to have any plans against Kang Juguo?

Just when Prince Alan was planning how to use the conservative forces of the Dawan Kingdom to create more trouble for the Han army, his subordinates reported.

It was reported that in the southern provinces of Kangju, an unidentified cavalry had appeared, plundering passing caravans and smaller villages.

They numbered about five or six hundred, although they tried their best to hide their identities and wore the same costumes that were common in Central Asia.

However, whether it is the weapons in their hands or the occasional words, they all show that they are Han Chinese.

In particular, they used crossbows, which were unique to the Han Chinese.

The businessmen of Kangju traveled from south to north and saw a lot of knowledge, and they could not hear Chinese wrong.

Alain was furious, I haven't gone to your trouble yet, but you dare to spread wilderness in the country of Kangju, in the province under my jurisdiction.

The loss of business travel is a small matter, and if my father knows about it and blames me for poor management, it will be a great sin.

He sent a force of 3,000 light cavalry, led by his henchmen, to search for the Han cavalry.

There were several experienced old hunters among the Kangju cavalry, who would analyze the traces, and they soon discovered the traces of the Han cavalry.

In fact, the Han cavalry did not deliberately cover up their traces at all, just waiting for them to come and find them, these Han cavalry are all reconnaissance battalions led by Ma Dai, and they will not cover up their traces?

The Kangju army followed the trail, and sure enough, in a nearby valley, the Kangju cavalry found the Han cavalry eating.

The Han cavalry hurriedly mounted their horses to meet the battle, and after the battle, the poor archery skills and poor riding skills of the Han cavalry impressed the Kangju people.

Soon they abandoned their looted possessions, and even their weapons and armor, and fled in disarray.

The Kangju generals found themselves easily victorious, thinking that the Han army was nothing more than that, and their archery and riding skills were very poor, and there was no threat at all, so how could he give up this opportunity to make great contributions?

Kangju country, like Dawan country, is rich in good horses, so the speed of Kangju cavalry is very fast, and the Han army repeatedly fights along the way, stopping and stopping, and the Han army can't get rid of the pursuers at all.

However, the Kangju people were carried away by the victory, and they did not carefully examine the faces of the Han cavalry who died in battle, the faces under the mask, and the wounds of the Han soldiers who died in battle.

Finally on the border between Kangju and Dawan, the Kangju army surrounded the Han army in a wilderness.

However, these Han troops did not flee, but turned to engage them, and at the same time, continuous trumpets and war drums sounded in all directions, and there were 20,000 or 30,000 Han troops and the Western Regions coalition army around them.

Only then did the Kangju people find that they had been ambushed and surrounded by the Han army, and the number of enemy troops surrounding them was quite consistent with the number of Han troops stationed in Dawan.

The Kangju generals found an abandoned village not far away, and some broken walls remained, so they hurriedly fled into the village and held on accordingly.

He immediately sent a few knights with the best riding skills to ask Prince Alan for help, I don't know if the cavalry of the Han army is too poor, or the war horses of Kangju are too good, anyway, these cavalry who asked for help have successfully broken through the encirclement.

They hurried back to Samarkand without stopping, and reported the battle situation and the information of the Han army to the long-awaited Prince Alan.
