Emmeni was not only the lord of the capital of Smosco Province, but also the consul of Smosco Province, but Ameni did not control any army, only responsible for the government affairs of Irgu City and Smosco Province, and the entire army of Smosco Province has always been under the control of the army commander Mutethil.

Hearing that the legion commander Mutai Chile was preparing to lead his troops to rescue the city of Teek, which was attacked by the Jin army, the city lord Aimeni was a little worried about the safety of the capital city of Ilgu.

The commander of the legion, Mu Taichile, said: "Count Aimeni, rest assured, at this time, there are not only 50,000 troops of our Gaochang Kingdom in Yiergu City, but also nearly 4,000 cavalry from Langli Kingdom, Mingci Kingdom, Jiyuan Kingdom, Tatar Hubei Kingdom and Chige Kingdom that lost the battle, and now these nearly 4,000 cavalry have been forcibly left in Yiergu City by me, and the royal families and nobles of the six countries such as Shiqu Country still have at least 50,000 troops in their hands, so this time I am ready to lead only 10,000 Gaochang cavalry and 10,000 Gaochang infantry to rescue Teeke City, At the same time, bring with them the armies of the eleven more vassal countries. ”

When the city lord Aimeni heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "If there are 30,000 of our Gaochang troops stationed in Yiergu City, and some young and strong men are mobilized to help defend the city, then there will be no problem." ”

As the capital of Smosco Province of Gaochang State, Irgu City is also the largest city in the entire Smosco Province, with more than 400,000 Gaochang people living in the city, and more than one-third of the population of the entire Smosco Province are concentrated in the capital of Irgu City.

These 400,000 people do not include the garrison of Gaochangguo, and if needed, at least 100,000 young and strong men can be mobilized to help defend the city.

The army commander Mutai Chile asked the troops of the vassal countries to follow him to rescue the city of Teeke, and the people of the various vassal countries did not dare to disobey the military orders of the army commander Mu Taichile, including the kings of the six countries including Shiqu State.

However, the commander of the legion, Mutai Chile, led 20,000 troops of Gaochang and 55,000 troops of 11 vassal states, and arrived less than 100 miles from the city of Teeke, but was besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops of the westward advance of the Ju'an army.

It turned out that the commander of the westward marching army, Lian Po, only mobilized ten newly formed infantry battalions to besiege the city of Teeke, an important border town in the province of Smosko, and mobilized fifteen cavalry battalions, six infantry battalions and 100,000 auxiliaries, and ambushed the capital city of Irgu City to Teeke City.

This is a typical encirclement point reinforcement, as the capital of Smosco Province, the city of Irgu, the city wall is strong, and the height even reaches ten meters, so Lian Po hopes to transfer more defenders in Irgu City out of the city to annihilate them, in order to reduce the pressure on the capital Irgu City, as a result, the commander of the corps Mu Taichile lived up to expectations and walked directly into the ambush circle set by Lian Po with 75,000 men.

The 55,000 troops of the eleven vassal countries, seeing the endless Jin army around them, immediately lost the courage to resist, and scattered under the leadership of the officers of various countries before the battle, but unfortunately when the corps commander Mu Taichile led the army into the ambush circle, the passage was quickly blocked by an infantry battalion of the westward marching corps, and finally found that more than 50,000 people from the eleven vassal countries who had no hope of escaping basically chose to surrender wisely.

10,000 Gaochang cavalry and 10,000 Gaochang infantry were under the leadership of the corps commander Mu Tai Chile, struggling to break through, but unfortunately the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the terrain of the ambush circle was very unfavorable to the Gaochang army, 20,000 Gaochang troops paid an unusually heavy price, and still did not break through the ambush circle of the westward legion, when the corps commander Mu Tai Chile died, the remaining 10,000 Gaochang troops also reluctantly put down their arms.

After the success of the tactic of encirclement and reinforcement, Lian Po immediately asked the soldiers of a cavalry battalion and three infantry battalions to disguise themselves as the Gaochang army and the army of the vassal countries, and then took advantage of the night to perform a play outside the city of Teek, deceiving the gate of Teeke City, making this important border town in Smosco Province the first Gaochang city conquered by the westward expansion army.

After stealing the city of Teeke, Lian Po repeated his old tricks, so that his army disguised himself as the defeated army led by the commander of the Gaochang army, Mu Taichile, and took the opportunity to deceive the gate of Irgu City, the capital of Smosco Province, and as a result, Irgu City, which was only left with 30,000 defenders of Gaochang, was easily captured by the westward advance army of the Ju'an army.

In addition to the 25,000 prisoners of war of the Gaochang army and the population of 400,000, the property seized from the treasury of the city of Irgu was converted into at least one million taels of gold, which was only a small head, and the real big head was contributed by the affiliated royal families and nobles who fled to the city of Irgu, which was at least 10 million taels of gold.

There are a total of eleven cities in the province of Smosco in Gaochang State, the capital city of Irgu and Texk City, the army stationed is the largest, and the other nine cities, all the Gaochang troops add up to only more than 25,000 people, and the rapid fall of the capital city of Smosco City and Texco City represents the entire Smosco Province to open its arms to the westward advance of the Hawkan army.

After capturing the capital city of Irgu, he divided his troops and marched into the other nine cities of Smosco Province, according to Lian Po's order, it is best to deceive the city gate, if he pretends to be a Gaochang army and cannot deceive the city gate, he will launch a siege at all costs, Lian Po hopes to control the entire Smosco province in the shortest possible time.

The other nine cities in Smosco Province, seven of which were then deceived into opening the gates, allowing the troops of the Westward Legion to easily conquer these seven cities, and the Gaochang defenders of only two cities saw through the tricks of the Westward Legion, but unfortunately in the face of more than ten times the strength of the Westward Legion troops, or even dozens of times the Westward Legion troops, these two cities were also forcibly captured by the Westward Legion in a short period of time.

On February 19, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, it took only four days for the westward army to capture the entire Smosco province of Gaochang State.

The whirlwind that was whipped up by the Westward Advance Army swept the entire Gaochang Kingdom at once, making the people in power in the Gaochang Kingdom attach importance to the army under Liu Ji's command by several levels.

In the Governor's Mansion in Talas City, Salma Province, Gaochang Kingdom, Haner Apdu, the Eastern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom, slammed a delicate ceramic cup on the desk and slammed it on the ground, "Mudaichile, this waste, hundreds of thousands of troops, and eleven strong cities, and hundreds of thousands of young people, as a result, in a few days, we have lost the Smosco Province of our kingdom, which is a shame for our Gaochang Kingdom!" This is a disgrace to our Eastern Governor's Palace! This is a disgrace to my Khor Apdu! ”

At this time, in front of the desk of the Governor of the East, Haner Apdu, there were only three people standing respectfully, namely the Legion Commander Diaai, the Legion Commander Fajard, and the Captain of the Guard, Ghassani.

The three of them made eye contact with each other, and then the legion commander Fahald said: "Governor, we didn't expect that the Taishou of the Jin State would send troops to launch an active attack on the province of our Gaochang State, and at once dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, conservatively estimated to be more than 500,000, or even more, Count Mutaichile only has a hundred thousand troops in his hands, including 50,000 or 60,000 vassal troops, and it is reasonable that the Smosco Province was captured by the Jin army. It's just that the Jin army captured Smosco Province too quickly, and we didn't even have a chance to send reinforcements! ”

After a pause, Legion Commander Fahald continued: "Now that Smosco Province has been captured and hundreds of thousands of troops have been wiped out, our next crusade plan against the Jin people must be changed, and the strength of the Jin Kingdom Taishou has far exceeded our expectations. ”

At this time, the legion commander Diaai frowned and said, "Is the information we have collected accurate?" Doesn't the intelligence say that Liu Ji, the Taishou of Jue'an County, entered the Western Regions this time and did not receive the support of the Jin court and any forces, and the army he brought into the Western Regions was completely the army under his command, could it be that a small Taishou of the Jin State could form such a huge army? It's unbelievable! ”

The Eastern Metropolitan Governor Han'er Apdu took a deep breath and calmed down his anger, "Now there is no need to study why that Liu Ji was able to assemble such a large army!" Now that the province of Smosco has been occupied by the Jin army, retaking the province of Smosco is the top priority of our Eastern Governor's Office! ”

Then Khan Apdu asked the chief of the guard, Ghassani, "Have the reinforcements of His Majesty the King and the other three Grand Governors arrived in the province of Sarma?" ”

The chief of the guard, Ghassani, shook his head and said, "Grand Governor, the reinforcements from all four routes are still on the way, and only the troops drawn from all over the jurisdiction by our Eastern Governor's Office have arrived near Talas City. ”

This time, in order to deal with the army under Liu Ji's command, Haner Apudu prepared to send 100,000 Gaochang cavalry and 160,000 infantry from the Eastern Governor's Palace, as well as 30,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry from several client states, and then join the reinforcements of the king and the other three major governors to form a second crusade army.

"It's a delay! How many days have it been, and the reinforcements from the four routes are still on the way, what if the Jin army continues to advance westward and attack other provinces within the jurisdiction of our Eastern Governor's Office! The Governor of the East, Haner Apdu, said with some annoyance.

Legion Commander Fajard sighed and said, "Governor, now we can only let the provinces of Balikun and Mazatag, which are closest to Smosco Province, mobilize as many young people as possible to help defend the city to prevent the attack of the Jin army. ”

Balikun Province and Mazatag Province are both one of the fifteen provinces of Gaochang State under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governorate, the former covers an area of about 30,000 square kilometers and has a population of about 700,000, while the latter covers an area of 60,000 square kilometers and has a population of less than 300,000.
