Chapter 46: Eight Directions Press the Sword to Hide the Wind and Thunder (7)

[Second Update.] 】

On the wall, which was finally captured, the figure of Ma Qinjun appeared again.

Kashgar Geri immediately got on the snow, watching the soldiers on whom he had high hopes retreat and flee. The passage that has just been laid is about to be blocked again.

His face was gloomy, his lips were still tightly pursed, and his crooked hooked nose accentuated his toughness.

It's just one step away...... It should be just one step away!

Kashgar Geri's heart was full of hatred.

"Let's get the people out of the way." The lieutenant behind him whispered.

Kashgar Geri seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and immediately glared back angrily: "It's already failed, you want to say that, right?!" ”

The adjutant general looked at the angry eyes, was frightened, and did not dare to speak for a while.

Kashgarg's roar was even louder: "The Ma Qin army has already rushed over to rescue the Uighurs, so they can't win." Are you trying to say that?! ”

“…… Now the front is messed up, and we need to step back and straighten it out. The adjutant general had the audacity to put forward his opinion.

"You fool!" Kashgar Geri shouted angrily, "The front line is in chaos, and we should send troops to support, not to pull people back." ”

The furious Kashgar Geri has a fierceness that he usually doesn't see. The lieutenant winced, bowed his head and said no more.

In peacetime, the soldiers are the most stable, but at this time, they become as stubborn as a bull. If you can't take the city in one go, you can count it as a failure. Ma Qin has adjusted his defense, where will there be a chance. The lieutenant sighed silently, Kashgar Geri is now like a gambler. As you invest more and more, you lose more and more, and you are more and more reluctant to leave the table.

Kashgari did not feel that he was salvaging the rout.

Even if the battle situation in the enemy camp is unfavorable, can it surpass the grievance of being unilaterally shot with a strong bow and crossbow before? The face-to-face battle consumes the forces of both sides at the same time, which makes the side with few troops have no strength to continue fighting.

He still had more than 10,000 troops at his disposal, and more than 4,000 cavalry blocking the north and east sides of the city. Once you get into it, the tide of battle will immediately return to the way it should be.

The enemy camp in front of him is in chaos, and order has not yet been restored, and now he has sent enough soldiers and horses to completely suppress the counterattack of the Song army and capture the city of Moman in one fell swoop.

The current setback is just a small episode on the way to victory.

The first to be thrown into the attack were a thousand Iqta warriors around Kashgar Geri, who cooperated with them, as well as the light cavalry that followed behind, all rushed straight to the walled gate, and then went under the walled wall to recapture the passage into the city.

In addition, Kashgar Geri also sent people to mobilize the light cavalry in other directions. Let them intensify their suppression of the barracks they faced, so that the defenders in them could escape.

……………………

"Don't give up yet!"

The marching horn from outside the village has long been familiar these days.

After a big battle in Nanying, Wang Sunchen passed through the city and saved the entire battle before the Xiying completely collapsed. Now is also the time when his heart is high, and seeing that the enemy still has plans to counterattack, Wang Sunsin's mood is even happier.

A belligerent man is always happy to see an obsessed enemy. No matter how the commander of the Black Khan Army planned to counterattack, as long as they were willing to attack, Wang Sunsin was of course happy to shoot them with a bow and arrow.

The camp was cleared as quickly as possible, and the gate of Xiying was opened by Wang Sunsin's order.

The sound of hooves rumbled, and from inside the city gate, a group of silver-lit armored horsemen slowly drove out, walking in the camp, the speed gradually increased, and when they rushed out of the gate, they had already mentioned the top speed.

The Han family has cavalry, and they have armor and cavalry, but they have not been used, but this does not mean that their ability is inferior. Especially when the Black Khan army was dismounting and attacking the wall, and there was no formation to protect itself, two hundred heavy cavalry rushed out of the wall and rushed down along the slightly inclined avenue in front of the wall. The oncoming black sweat man was unable to resist his advance, and he was either overturned or dodged one after another.

The armored cavalry was followed by the Uighur and Tibetan armies that had regained their organization, and their strength was fully demonstrated by beating the water dogs. The offensive organized by the Black Khan people just now only set off a small wave before it collapsed for thousands of miles.

Wang Sunsin's performance deviated from the expectations of the Black Khan commander, and he sent out armored cavalry just right, and defeated the offensive that had just been organized. A thousand Iqta soldiers, with a wall in front and an enemy army rushing out behind, were swept by the bow of the god arm on the wall.

The elite who participated in the counterattack collapsed in an instant under the city, directly crushing the spirit of Kashgar Geri, staggering, and rolling off the horse!

As soon as the coach fell, the only chance to save the game was gone. The Black Khan army no longer had the will to fight, and when the banner of the Song army pointed out, the Black Khan army in front of them broke and fled.

When Kashgar Geri woke up groggily, he found himself still lying on horseback.

Looking back to the left and right, the guards who followed him in battle turned out to be all wounded.

It was a fiasco. More than one-third of the soldiers who went into battle suffered casualties. In particular, the group of warriors who stormed the camp, mainly Ghulam and Iqta, were almost never able to return.

Kashgari could already imagine what kind of punishment he would receive when he returned to the country. However, on the way back to the camp, he still planned to reorganize his troops and horses to see if there was a chance to turn defeat into victory.

But the Song army did not give him a chance to reorganize his troops and horses at all.

Wang Sunsin swung his troops and pursued them all the way to the main camp of the Black Khan Army, where he fired rockets into the camp. A large area of the tent was burned, and even more serious was the burning of one of the three food storage points that were far apart.

Looking at the charcoal black warehouse in a daze, Kashgari understood that there was no chance for the future, and victory had left him. It was this defeat that caused one-third of the casualties, so that the burning of one-third of the grain and grass would not cause an early food outage, but the morale of the army was even more chaotic, making it impossible to organize a large army that could fight against the Ma Qin.

Kashgar Geri led the Black Khan army, stopped only briefly at the main camp, and then hurriedly withdrew.

The next day, the Song army attacked, and found that the enemy had already stepped on the snow and left.

In addition to the many captured sleigh cars, in order to cope with the environment after the snow, Wang Sunchen also transformed the big car into a sled car. Just remove the wheels and put on the sticks. When the cart is manufactured, there is room for transformation, and in terms of craftsmen, it is effortless.

Although the snow is shallow, the road is still difficult. With the help of a sled, the speed is never inferior to that of a horseback march. It will only take two or three days at most to catch up with the enemy who flees first.

In Wang Sunsin's view, it was the time to annihilate the fleeing enemy on the snowfield in one go.

But more than one person advised Wang Sunchen, saying that the poor should not be chased, and also said that the Black Khan army had a partial division to attack the east, and when they returned, they would be intercepted from the back road.

However, when interrogating the prisoners, it was learned that the commander of the Black Khan did not send troops and horses to attack Swing Yin and Qiuzi at all. A soldier and horse that went east did not go far. How can a normal general make a reason to divide his troops at will in the face of a strong enemy? The division of troops to the east was only to cut off the correspondence of the Song army, and it was also to ambush the Song army that would escape from the last barbarian army.

It's a pity that a fiasco made the previous arrangement of the Black Khan commander a joke beyond his strength.

Leaving behind the group of Black Khans who were still waiting for orders, Wang Sunchen left a Han army under his command to cooperate with seven or eight hundred Tubo people to defend the city of Moman. Immediately, the army led out of the nest, rode a sleigh cart, and pursued the fleeing enemy in the vast wilderness.

The Black Khan army was closely pursued by Wang Sunchen's army, broke its tail several times to survive, turned back several times to counterattack, and set up ambushes and divided troops, but it was repeatedly seen through and broken by the Song army!

They threw away their armor and all their heavy equipment except for a few self-defense weapons, but they still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Song army.

A thousand miles back, there is not one in a hundred.

Ten days later, when Wang Sunchen stopped at the foot of Shule City, on his battle flag and flagpole, it was the head of the Black Khan commander Kashgari who was raised high!

After receiving a report from the messenger sent back by Kashgar Geri in advance, and the fastest deserter as evidence, the Shule guard general recruited the strong men in the city in advance, issued weapons, and waited in the city.

The lone army came from afar, and it was winter, and the disadvantage of the Black Khan army under the Mobarian city had shifted to the side of the Song army. The march in the middle of winter, the frostbite was numerous.

But the only difference is that the outside of the city has long been cleared, and even the houses and woods that are a little closer to the city have been cleared, but there is no around Shule City at all.

Shule City is rich in the Western Regions, with more than 100 miles around the city, hundreds of large and small villages and towns, and a population of 200,000. When you enter this place, how can you still worry about the station and food?

Without Wang Sunsin driving the Han army, the Uighurs, who had a deep grudge, had already expressed their loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, which Wang Sunsin represented.

In just two days, far more supplies than necessary were piled up in the two villages that had just been encircled by the Song army as military camps. Wang Sunchen even had spare time to set up an ambush to annihilate the Black Khan division who hurriedly chased south after getting the news.

Surrounding the charcoal brazier and eating the barbecue sprinkled with spices, all Wang Sunchen had to do was Shule City.

The city of Shule was defended without any flaws, and a hundred years ago Khotan and the Xizhou Uighur coalition attacked Shule, but they also returned in vain. The city is high and deep, and even though there are many militiamen in the city, it is not something that can be taken lightly.

But Wang Sunchen had no scruples and directly drove the people to attack the city. Outside the city of Shule, it was like a hell for a while.

After three days and three nights of wailing and tens of thousands of civilian casualties, on the fourth day, a ramp of blood and sand led to the city, and the Uighurs rushed up under the cover of the bow of the divine arm, and the fortified city of Shule was finally breached.

The horses entered Shule, and the people of the city were slaughtered.

After a snowstorm, Wang Sunchen set foot on the head of Shule City. Far and near, inside and outside, mountains and rivers, all are boundless, all plain.

Leaning against the female wall, he laughed loudly, "It's really clean!" ”
