Chapter 373: The Annoyed Metropolitan Governor
"Is there any update on the rebels of the Eastern Tibetan tribe?" Haner Apdu, the Eastern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom, asked Legion Commander Fahald with a gloomy face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fahad shook his head and said: "The rebels of the Eastern Tibetan tribe are currently in the desert south of Almaz Province, because when the rebels of the Eastern Tibetan tribe broke through, the broken troops left behind made our cavalry delay too much time, so now our cavalry troops have not caught up with them. ”
In order to encircle and suppress the troops of the Eastern Tibetan people, Haner Apdu drew more than 900,000 troops from the Eastern Governorate, as well as 300,000 troops from the other three Grand Governors, 200,000 troops sent by His Majesty the King, and 100,000 troops from several vassal states.
However, what Khan Apdu never expected was that the encirclement and suppression plan of more than 1.5 million troops failed, and the rebels of the Dongfan tribe still forcibly broke through from the encirclement of more than 1 million troops.
Now the more than 900,000 troops of the Eastern Governor's Mansion have lost nearly 300,000, and the 300,000 troops of the other three Grand Governors have only less than 200,000 left after a bloody battle, and His Majesty's 200,000 troops have also lost a lot of money, with 120,000 left, and nearly half of the 100,000 troops of several vassal states.
The more than 1.5 million encirclement and suppression troops have directly lost more than one-third, and they have not completely wiped out the rebels of the Dongbo tribe, which makes Haner Apdu almost mad.
"We must not let the rebels of the Dongfan tribe escape to the area controlled by the Juan army, otherwise we want to exterminate the entire Dongfan tribe, but it will become very, very difficult, once the rebels of the Dongfan tribe hide in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, we will almost have nothing to do with the Dongfan tribe." Haner Apdu said in a deep voice.
Legion Commander Fahald sighed and said: "Grand Duke, the Hawk Army has now captured the Ruudnei Province, Costa Province and Naikarek Province of our Eastern Governor's Prefecture, so that the rebels of the Eastern Tribes only need to go about a thousand miles east of the desert to enter the Naikarek Province controlled by the Hawkan Army, unless a cavalry unit is immediately dispatched from Sarma Province to intercept it, otherwise the situation mentioned by the Metropolitan Governor is likely to happen." ”
Han'er Apdu said categorically: "The 400,000 troops of the province of Sarma must not move a single soldier, and since the provinces of Rudne, Costa and Nekarek have fallen into the hands of the Hawkish army, then the front of the Hawkish army has already hung over the head of the Sarma Province, and the Sarma province and even the city of Talas must not be lost!" ”
Legion Commander Fahad said with a wry smile: "Then we can only hope that the pursuing troops can wipe out the rebels of the Eastern Tibetan tribe before they enter the area controlled by the Hawkish Army." ”
Han'er Apudu gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't exterminate the rebels of the Eastern Tibetan tribe this time, the face of the Pontus Governor will be lost!" ”
Legion Commander Fahald said with a solemn face at this time: "Grand Governor, although the rebels of the Dongfan tribe have successfully broken through from the encirclement of our more than one million troops this time, the losses of the rebels of the Dongfan tribe are not small, as long as our pursuing troops can catch up, there is still a good hope of destroying the Dongbo tribe, and the subordinates are now very worried that the Ji'an army will gain an inch and continue to attack the territory of our Eastern Governor's Mansion." ”
Han'er Apudu said angrily: "It's all the white-eyed wolf of the Dongfan tribe who is making trouble, otherwise how could our Eastern Governor's Mansion lose the six provinces, so that those Jin people are about to hit the Sarma Province!" The Governor of Pondu is ready to immediately rush back to the city of Talas to sit in the town, there are 400,000 elite troops there, the Governor of Pontic will see if the Hawks' army still has the courage to continue to attack the province of Sarma, and after the governor of Pontus goes back, he is ready to recruit some young men in the entire province of Salma to join the army of our Eastern Governor's Mansion, this time to encircle and suppress the rebels of the Eastern Governor's Domain, the loss of our army of the Eastern Governor's Mansion is really not small! ”
In order to personally command the action of encircling and suppressing the eastward return of the Dongbo tribe, Haner Apdu took 10,000 guards to Chemol City, the capital of Almaz Province in Gaochang State.
The 400,000 Gaochang troops left in Salma Province and even Talas City were all the former elite troops of the Eastern Governorate, and the three new legions that were originally expanded from the entire Salma Province were all transferred to the troops to encircle and suppress the Eastern Tibetan people.
It was precisely because of the 400,000 elite troops of the Eastern Governor's Mansion that Haner Apdu had some confidence in his heart, and he did not think that the Hawk'an army could continue to advance in the province of Sarma.
Legion Commander Fahald hesitated for a moment and asked, "Grand Duke, do you want your subordinates to return to Talas City with you, or will they continue to stay here in Chemore City?" ”
This time, the 100,000 people under the command of the legion commander Fahad were not called, and they still remained in Talas City.
"You follow the governor of Pontus back to Talas City, and the task of exterminating the remnants of the rebels of the Eastern Tibetan tribe will be handed over to those cavalry generals, and the other infantry units will immediately rush to the province of Sarma, and then the Hawks' army will be the biggest opponent of our Eastern Governor's Mansion!"
For example, in the encirclement and suppression of the Eastern Fan tribe, the Eastern Governor of Gaochang State, Haner Apudu, gathered more than 1.5 million troops, of which only about 600,000 were cavalry, and the remaining 900,000 were infantry.
After the encirclement and suppression plan of more than 1.5 million troops was shattered, there were still 400,000 cavalry left in 600,000, and less than 600,000 infantry left in more than 900,000 infantry.
Neither Khan Apdu nor Fahad thought that the Dongbo people were still in contact with the Anxi Protectorate like the Immortal Xiaoqiang, so much so that as soon as Hand Apdu and Fahad returned to Talas City, they received a news that shocked and annoyed them.
The 400,000 Gaochang cavalry who pursued the remnants of the Dongfan rebels actually fell into the plan of the Dongfan rebels Jin Cicada to break out of the shell, and chased a Dongfan cavalry of less than 10,000 people for several days, and the main force of the remnants of the Dongfan rebels suddenly appeared in the oasis where Anxi City was located, and launched a fierce attack on the Demon Snake Fort, one of the six military forts besieging Anxi City, and finally only about 10,000 Gaochang troops of the Demon Snake Fort, because they were caught off guard, only lasted less than a day, and fell into the hands of the Dongfan rebels.
What's even more annoying is that the nearly 10,000 Dongfan cavalry who acted as bait also escaped the pursuit of 400,000 Gaochang cavalry and successfully entered the Naikarek Province controlled by the Jue'an Army, and the hundreds of thousands of Gaochang cavalry who were responsible for the pursuit could only retreat to Salma Province because they were not ready to start a big battle with the Jue'an Army immediately.
In the Governor's Mansion in the city of Talas, as if a frost had a cold on his face, he asked the Legion Commander Fahald in a deep voice, "What should we do now?" ”
Fahad said with a wry smile: "We didn't expect that the rebels of the Eastern Tibetan Clan would have a connection with the Anxi Protectorate, and now that the Demon Snake Fort has been captured by the rebels of the Eastern Tibetan Clan, the blockade line of our Eastern Governor's Mansion for many years on the Anxi Protectorate has been destroyed all of a sudden, and the military strength of the Anxi Protectorate has not been weak, coupled with the remnants of the rebels of the Eastern Tibetan Clan, this is terrible news for our Gaochang Kingdom and our Eastern Governor's Mansion." ”
"Pontus is asking what we should do next?" Hanr Apdu asked again with a cold face.
Fahad hesitated for a moment and said, "Unless we can make a truce with the Tun An army, it will be impossible for our Eastern Governor's Mansion to draw enough strength to deal with the combined forces of the Eastern Fan Clan and the Anxi Protectorate in a short period of time. ”
Han'er Apdu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Let the other five military forts on the periphery of Anxi City strengthen their defenses, although the Demon Snake Fort has been lost, but the other five military forts cannot be lost, the current situation is too complicated, the Governor of Pontus needs to discuss it with the other three Governors, as well as His Majesty the King!" ”
Liu Ji's Ju'an army has captured the six provinces within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Office, and Han'er Apu is unwilling to lose his territory anymore, but the rebels of the Dongfan tribe and the Anxi Protectorate are all the henchmen of Gaochang State, and the annoyed Han'er Apudu doesn't know which side to deal with first.
In the city lord's mansion of Ilgu City, the former capital of Gaochang State's Smosco Province, Liu Ji frowned and asked Lian Po, "Is there any news from Anxi City?" ”
Lian Po shook his head and said: "Anxi City has been blocked by the army of Gaochang Kingdom, we don't have any source of information there at all, Heishuitai can only indirectly get news of Anxi City from other places, so we don't have any news about Anxi City, I don't know if the people of the Dongfan tribe have broken through a military fort besieging Anxi City?" ”
Nangong Jing, the new patriarch of the Dongfan tribe, sent Shangguan Qiu, a 10,000-captain of the Protector Army, to lead 9,000 cavalry of the Dongfan tribe, as well as a large number of unridden horses and camels, pretending to be the main force of the Dongfan tribe, and fled all the way to the east, while Nangong Jing led the remaining 100,000 Protector Army, as well as nearly 240,000 women and children, while clearing the traces in the desert, went straight to the oasis where the Anxi Protectorate was located.
Commander Shangguanqiu led 9,000 cavalry of the Eastern Fan tribe, because a large number of unridden horses and camels could be transferred, so that their speed was faster than the 400,000 cavalry of the Gaochang Kingdom that pursued them, and finally fled to the Naikarek Province of the Gaochang State, which had been occupied by the Ju'an army, and brought the news to the Ju'an army that the remaining large forces of the Dongbo tribe had gone to Anxi City.
Liu Ji already knew about the existence of Anxi City and the Anxi Protectorate, and Liu Ji admired the Anxi Protectorate in his heart for being able to hold out in the Western Regions for more than a hundred years and did not let Gaochang Kingdom destroy it.
However, the oasis where the Anxi Protectorate is located, the closest province to the Naikarek Province that the Hawk Army is currently occupying, is also almost a thousand miles, and even if Liu Ji has the heart to rescue the people of the Anxi Protectorate, he will not be able to whip it for the time being.
Liu Ji asked Lian Po again: "Is it possible for the team of the Dongfan tribe to capture a military fort besieging Anxi City?" ”
Lian Po pondered for a while and said: "According to the information we got about Anxi City before, the military forts besieging Anxi City, the Gaochang people built a total of six, namely Wuniu Fort, Golden Lion Fort, Red Eagle Fort, Julu Fort, Demon Snake Fort and Tianma Fort, this time in the team of the Dongfan tribe, since there are people sent by the Anxi Protectorate, then they must be very familiar with these six military forts, coupled with the suddenness of the attack, the subordinates think that the team of the Dongfan tribe is still very likely to capture one of the six military forts, Help the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to open up the passage with the outside world. ”
Liu Ji smiled and said: "The Dongfan clan will definitely make the Eastern Metropolitan Governor of Gaochang Kingdom Haner Apudu have a terrible headache, I don't know if the Eastern Metropolitan Governor is going to gather troops to fight a decisive battle with our Xuan'an Army, or will he send troops to deal with the Dongfan Clan and the Anxi Protectorate first?" ”
Lian Po said with a smile: "Originally, our westward expansion army has begun to reorganize and fight in various cities in Rude Neixing Province, Costa Province and Naikarek Province, preparing to meet the counterattack of the Gaochang army, but now the Dongfan tribe has made such a big move, and it is not good that our westward expansion army will have another chance to fish in troubled waters." ”
After a pause, Lian Po continued: "Once the Eastern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom takes the Dongbo Clan and the Anxi Protectorate as the primary target, then our Westward Advance Army can continue to launch an active attack on the Tatar Kelz Province and the Kaminputtai Province in the west, and even the attack on the Sarma Province is not impossible!" ”
The province of Kerz Tatar and the province of Kaminputtai are located on the left and the right of the province of Sarma, the province of Kerz has an area of about 130,000 square kilometers, a population of about 1 million, and has eight cities, and the province of Kamymptay has an area of about 90,000 square kilometers, a population of about 700,000, and has seven cities.
Liu Ji smiled and said: "Sarma Province is the nest of the Eastern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom, and it is not easy for us to capture Sarma Province, but if the Eastern Governor throws our Hawkson Army aside and ignores it, then it is not impossible for us to take the opportunity to capture Tatarkerz Province and Kaminputtai Province again." ”
"By the way, my lord, that Shangguan Qiu, the commander of the Dongfan clan, hopes to see you, and he should hope that our Jue'an army will send troops to meet the team of the Dongfan clan and the Anxi Protectorate."
"Alas, this Taishou is very impressed with the Dongfan people who are willing to return to the east, as well as the Anxi Protectorate who has been alone in the Western Regions for more than a hundred years, but it is a pity that our Juanjun is too far away from the oasis where the Anxi Protectorate is located, and some whips are out of reach!"
