Volume 16 Chapter 62 The Tibetan Oasis

"Love โ™‚ รท small? Say โ†’', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The sound of hooves rumbled, in the wasteland of the Western Regions, a large number of cavalry were beating horses forward, in front of this cavalry, a sun and moon dragon flag fluttered in the wind, under the dragon flag, a young Ming army looked at the front resolutely, and the handsome face revealed the rare calmness of young people.

He was ordered to lead the army to the Tubo Oasis to attack the first corps of the border army Qin Yiming, the commander of the first army of the border guards, the Tubo Oasis was not the territory of the Tile, but the territory of Liucheng, Huozhou and Tufan under the rule of the East Chagatai Khanate.

Originally, the distance of more than 300 miles, 50,000 troops galloped wildly, and it would not take a day to arrive, but if that was the case, the 50,000 cavalry who rushed to the Washorn Khanting were basically sleepy and lacking horses, and their combat power was greatly reduced.

According to the intelligence of Jinyiwei, the Tile Thorn and Shuote Division, together with the cavalry and infantry, are all less than 50,000 at the moment, and they are not their opponents at all, so there is no need to use any surprise attack and sneak attack tactics, so Qin Yi clearly ordered the whole army to control the speed of the horse and rush in the most labor-saving way, so that although it cannot reach the Tile Thorn Khan Court in one day, it can maintain sufficient combat power and avoid capsizing in the gutter.

Following Qin Yiming's journey was the person in charge of the Jinyi Wei secret agent in the Western Regions, Jinyi Wei Nan Town, Fu Si Qianhu Yang Daoying, who was the first batch of Jinyi Wei secret agents personally trained by Wang Zhengnan in the sixth year of Chongzheng, who had been lurking and spying in the Western Regions for many years, and was extremely familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions.

The so-called Tubo Oasis is not a large oasis, but a scattered oasis distributed in the Tubo Basin, and the Khan Court of Wa Thorn is located in the westernmost part of the Tubo Basin, near a huge freshwater lake.

The sun set, the sky gradually became dark, 50,000 Ming cavalry stepped into a relatively large oasis, all the way, all the nomadic tribes in the oasis have migrated away, leaving only a circle of traces of camping, this oasis is no exception, although there are a lot of water and grass, but deserted.

Qin Yiming slowly raised his hand, and the cavalry behind him began to slow down slowly, and when they came to a shallow river, all the cavalry finally stopped.

Qin Yiming looked around and asked Yang Daoying next to him, "Yang Qianhu, how far is it from the Watt Thorn Khan Court here?" โ€œ

When Yang Daoying heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "General Qin, this place is less than fifty miles away from the Watt Thorn Khan's Court, and this is also the last small oasis before arriving at the Tile Thorn Khan's Court. โ€œ

Qin Yiming nodded, and ordered loudly: "Order, the whole army dismounts, eat some dry food and rest early, you can make a fire, but you are not allowed to make noise, and each division will take turns to arrange people to be on guard within ten miles of the surroundings, one round per hour." โ€œ

The herald ordered the guards to disperse, and the soldiers of the Ming army on their horses scattered one after another, gathered into a group, and then dismounted and began to rest.

After Qin Yiming gave the order, he immediately turned over and dismounted, came to the river, took a handful of water, drank a few sips, and wiped his face, and then asked Yang Daoying, who was following him: "Yang Qianhu, do you say that Gushi Khan will escape?" โ€œ

Yang Daoying also drank a few sips of water, wiped his face, and then replied: "General Qin, don't worry, my spies will not report in the future, which proves that Gu Shihan has not run away, and he may still want to resist stubbornly." โ€œ

When Qin Yiming heard this, he smiled and said: "Stubborn resistance, if I lead the army to attack him for a long distance regardless of fatigue, I would have a chance, but now, I'm afraid he won't have a chance." โ€œ

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Qin Yiming led his army straight to the court of the Watthorn Khan.

Gu Shi Khan really wanted to resist stubbornly, because according to the scout's report, the Ming army only came with 50,000 cavalry, if it was 500,000 troops, or even 100,000 cavalry, he would be scared and run away immediately, but 50,000, he felt that there was still a chance.

After decades of development, the population of the Tile Spur has already exceeded one million, of which the largest Heshute Department and the Gygar Department have a population of more than 300,000, which is already considered a super tribe in the Western Regions Wasteland, even after the last defeat, the entire Tile Spur lost nearly 300,000 troops, but the Heshuo Special Department can still gather 20,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry, plus strong men, can barely make up 100,000 people, with the nomadic tribe's familiarity with cavalry, if the Ming army is light on the enemy, it is really likely to be defeated by him.

In other words, what role can a man without a weapon play on the battlefield? Don't underestimate them, although they don't have weapons, but they still have what tripping ropes and horse ropes, and the earthen spears can also ensure that everyone has a hand, if they are accidentally close to them, a bunch of tripping ropes and horse ropes are thrown over, and the cavalry will immediately become a rolling gourd, and then stab with an earthen spear, you can still stab people to death!

Of course, this is in the face of ordinary cavalry, and in the face of the cavalry of the Ming army, they play this set, which is simply looking for death.

In fact, Gushi Khan also had to do it, because the migration of the tribes could not be completed in a day or two, after the Ming army advanced to the Western Regions, although the tribes near the railway line were evacuated early, but the small tribes near the Washorn Khan Court had not yet begun to migrate.

It's not that they don't want to go, but because of the problem of aquatic plants, this time is just the beginning of spring, cattle, sheep and horses and other livestock have eaten a winter of hay, and they lose fat badly, if they are not full to eat aquatic plants for a period of time, many people with poor physique may not be able to walk.

And the more than 300,000 people in the Heshuo Special Department raised so many livestock, it would take at least a month or two to find such a place where water and grass flourished, so they had to stay and let the animals eat first.

Gushi Khan originally thought that it would take at least a month for the Ming army to advance more than 1,000 miles, but he never thought that the Ming army would advance more than 700 miles in less than half a month, and the Ming army suddenly sent cavalry to go straight to the gathering places of the major tribes, and he was really caught off guard.

Now, the civilians of the tribes near the Khan's court had only been running west for a day with their cattle and belongings, and it was impossible for them to escape the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, which forced him to stay and stop the Ming army's pace.

There are only 50,000 cavalry, at least it should be able to get a draw, if the luck is a little better, it is not impossible to overturn, he comforted himself like this.

It's not that he hasn't seen the ferocity of the Ming cavalry, but sometimes people are like this, always using their own subjective consciousness to anesthetize themselves, and they are unwilling to face reality.

How could the 50,000 cavalry led by Qin Yiming be able to withstand his rabble composed of 50,000 miscellaneous troops and 50,000 civilians, even if he led 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, he might not have done it! Reading, a better reading experience.
