Chapter 336: The Perfect Start of the Night Attack
Mu Taichile, the commander of the army of Gaochang State, mentioned that the Jin army might send cavalry to attack the Shiqu State, which was to leave some troops to garrison the Shiqu State. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The oasis where the entire Shiqu country is located is about the same as the oasis where Zhuqi is located, but there are only five cities in Shiqu country, including the capital Shiqu City, with a total population of less than 600,000, and Shiqu country does not have as many diamond mines and gem mines as Zhuqi country, and Shiqu country's financial resources mainly rely on land endowment and animal husbandry, so Shiqu country is actually relatively poor.
Although the army of Shiqu country has 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, it is actually not full, and the officers of Shiqu country have eaten a large part of the empty salary, and the army of 40,000 people is actually not even 20,000, and even the 20,000 troops are also negligent in training and equipment are not complete, originally Shiqu country relied on the 8,000 Gaochang army in the territory to protect the security of its own country, and Shiqu country's own army can be said to be just a group of rabble.
The commander of the legion, Mu Taichile, was very aware of the situation in Shiqu Kingdom, "Your Majesty, then leave 20,000 infantry from our Gaochang Kingdom and 10,000 cavalry from our Gaochang Kingdom to help the army of Shiqu Kingdom and jointly defend Shiqu Kingdom!" ”
King Ashlev smiled and said, "That's the best, with 30,000 Gaochang troops remaining in Shiqu Country, this king can sit back and relax!" ”
The three legionnaires of Gaochang Kingdom spoke very politely to the king of Ashlefer, a small country, because the sister of King Ashlefer was a concubine of Haner Apdu, the eastern governor of Gaochang Kingdom, and was still a very favored concubine.
The army of Gaochang State against Liu Ji this time, after resting for a few days in Shiqu State, on the morning of January 23, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the whole army set out, and continued to advance towards Zhuqi State, at this time, the army of Gaochang State, including 110,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry of Gaochang itself, 50,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry of the client country, as well as more than 80,000 people who accompanied the army to escort supplies, 10,000 Gaochang cavalry and 20,000 Gaochang infantry, were left in Shiqu State.
Shiqu Kingdom is only less than three hundred miles away from Zhuqi Kingdom, and according to the speed of Gaochang Kingdom's army, it will take less than three days to reach Zhuqi Kingdom.
On the night of January 23, hundreds of thousands of Gaochang troops directly set up camp in the desert, and spending the night in the desert was already a very common thing for the armies of the countries in the Western Regions, after all, most of the land in the Western Regions was desert, and it was impossible to avoid spending the night in the desert when marching on the road.
In a tent, the three commanders of the Gaochang Kingdom, Mu Tai Chile, Sai Liangmu, and Anes, were gathering here to study the battle plan for attacking Zhu Qiguo, but the faces of the three were not very good.
Mu Tai Chile said with a wry smile: "Before coming this time, although the Metropolitan Governor did not say that he had to rescue Viscount Hanatilamu, but if we can't bring Viscount Hanatilamu back to Talas City safely, the Metropolitan Governor may not do anything to us this time, but it will not be known in the future, after all, Viscount Hanatilamu is the most beloved son of the Metropolitan Governor." ”
Sai Limu sighed and said, "Then what should we do?" The rescue teams sent by the Holy Fire Cult and the Grand Governor have failed, what else can we do! Do you want us to negotiate with the Jin people? Through negotiation, the Jin people can let Viscount Hanatilamu go, but once they negotiate with the Jin people, the Jin people will definitely open their mouths! ”
Anais said: "It is impossible to negotiate with the Jin people, most of the governors will not agree, and the Jin people occupy the Zhuqi country and the Suju country, if we negotiate, the Jin people must ask our Gaochang country to recognize the legitimacy of their occupation of the Zhuqi country and the Suju country, this is absolutely impossible, our Gaochang country will definitely not allow the Jin country to reach into the Western Regions again." ”
Mu Taichile waved his hand and said, "It's getting late today, you all go back to sleep!" Now I can only take one step at a time, and I wish that the country and the country of Suju will all be defeated, and the entire battle plan cannot be delayed because of Viscount Hanatiramu, if ...... Alas, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and let's talk about the matter of Viscount Hanatilam! ”
Both Sai Liangmu and Anais shook their heads helplessly, and they were about to leave Mu Tai Chile's tent and return to their tent to sleep, but at this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside the tent, which made the faces of the three army commanders of Gao Changguo suddenly change.
Mutetchil, Sairum, and Anais all quickly walked out of their tents, and by this time the shouts of killing had become deafening, and the three of them could see by the moonlight that a large number of enemy cavalry were slaughtering into their camp.
Sai Liangmu said with some panic: "It's the cavalry unit of the Jin people!" O Vulcan God! The people of the Jin Kingdom dared to take the initiative to attack us! ”
Anas said angrily, "Which army is in charge of the night vigil?" It's really a waste, it actually let the cavalry of the Jin people rush directly into our camp, it seems that the Jin people sent a lot of cavalry this time! ”
Compared with Sailiumu and Anais, Mu Taichile was very calm, "The cavalry troops of the Jin people are menacing, and the situation in the camp must be stabilized immediately, Sailiumu, you immediately organize your troops to block the Jin cavalry in front, Anais, your troops are responsible for the back of the camp, and I will lead the troops to guard the middle of the camp, at this time, the armies of those client countries can no longer be counted on!" ”
The army of Gaochangguo had hundreds of thousands, so the camp stretched for more than ten miles, and at this time, the twenty cavalry battalions under Liu Ji were divided into twenty units and entered the camp of Gaochangguo's army from many directions.
Liu Ji learned that the army of Gaochang State had been resting in Shiqu Country, so he directly brought twenty cavalry battalions from Mili City in Zhuqi Country into the vast desert, and directly sent several generals of the guard battalion to monitor the movements of Gaochang State's army.
After Gaochangguo's army started from Shiqu State, Liu Ji's side got the news, and then Liu Ji immediately took twenty cavalry battalions to meet Gaochangguo's army, which was the night attack on Gaochangguo's camp at this moment.
When the twenty cavalry battalions entered the camp of the Gaochang army, Liu Ji took nearly 5,000 cavalry from the guard battalion, as well as several generals of the guard battalion, and twelve puppet bodyguards, and stayed on a desert hill.
Liu Ji looked at the enemy camp of Gaochangguo in the distance, his palms were full of sweat, this sneak attack can be said to be perfect before, the generals of Gaochangguo did not expect that the Ji'an army that captured Zhuqiguo would take the initiative to attack and launch a sneak attack on the powerful Gaochangguo army.
However, whether the ending can be perfect or not can only depend on the performance of the twenty cavalry battalions under his command.
