57 Asian Overlord 6
In the city, the current Khan King Anusha anxiously watched the battle under the city, the Ming Empire's 1.15 million troops entered the Khiva Khanate, and soon hit their capital, Abhaqi also fell ill in bed, and handed over the throne to his son, I heard that Abhaqi was afraid that the lamp would run out, and it was estimated that his life would be a matter of one or two days, but for Khan King Anusha, I am afraid that he will become a prisoner if he can't wait for his father to breathe
The cannons of the Japanese army have blasted open a hole in the big bronze gate of the south gate, and a large hole has appeared, but the garrison of the Khiva Khanate is holding the city gate, and it is from the hole that shoots arrows and bullets, and the Japanese soldiers who are besieging the city are not lightly killed or wounded-book_)
After a fierce confrontation, the garrison tried their best, but under the cover of artillery and musketeers, they still could not prevent the Japanese army from ascending to the top of the city, and the city was already full of blood, and the soldiers on both sides were like wild beasts, trying their best to put each other to death, and the beast-like roar resounded throughout the city gates
The soldiers of the Waren Slave Army covered the front of them with shields, and wanted to get into the hole in the gate, but as soon as they got closer, they were hooked into it by the garrison with hooks, and countless weapons were cut into meat paste in an instant, and the king Anusha clenched his fists, and looked unusually grim The battle of the siege of the south gate of Khiva City, the Waren Servant Army dispatched 300,000 troops, and the remaining 850,000 troops and more than 300 armed pioneer merchant groups of about 100,000 people looted people and property in various parts of the Khiva Khanate, Anusha was helpless, I am afraid that this battle is a victory, In the future, there were no more people in the Khanate, and when he heard that Bukhara and the Mughal had emigrated a large number of Han Chinese, he could not imagine how many Han people had fallen to the ground? How much territory did the Ming Empire have to lay before it was willing to give up?
And seeing that the Japanese army has lost nearly 90,000 people, but such a heavy loss, the general of the other side did not even blink his eyes, and saw that the base of the city wall was full of corpses, there were soldiers of the Japanese army, and the corpses of the garrison of the Khiva Khanate who fell from the city, superimposed together, extremely miserable and this is not the end, on top of these corpses, the corpses are still constantly added, piled together
"They won't be able to hold out for long" Looking at the fierce situation, the Japanese army had gradually gained the upper hand, and Bao Ke, who was in charge of the general attack, couldn't help but sneer
Nearly 300,000 people to attack the city of less than 150,000 people, and with advanced siege weapons, the garrison can support nearly three days, which is already the limit, the 150,000 garrison at the head of the city, up to now, is less than 80,000 people, and their bows and arrows, wood and stones, and boiling oil have been exhausted, and then the next battle, can only be opposed by swords and guns, and the last thing that the Japanese people are afraid of is the battle of swords and guns
A fast horse galloped over, with a flag behind it, it was the herald in the army, "Report to Major General Baoke Masayuki, the south gate has been broken, and the two divisions of our army have already entered the city" The herald reported that Baoke Masayuki smiled and said: "Okay, since this is the case, the whole army is assaulting"
Under the fierce bombardment of artillery fire, the city gate of the south gate finally collapsed, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed in, under the command of the commander of the field division and the head of the Liu Tuo division, the two half-crippled divisions that had been fought finally broke through the south gate of Khiva City, which was expected, after three days of fierce fighting, the armies of both sides had been exhausted, the Japanese army was still more than 200,000 people, and the Khiva Khanate only had 80,000 demoralized garrisons left
Although there are still many garrisons at the south gate and the soldiers of the Japanese coercion who have entered the city in the final desperate struggle, the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and there is no word for too long, the garrison is dead and wounded, and the captured are captured, and the entire south gate has no resistance force
"Advance into the enemy's palace" Masayuki Hoshina's face was not without pride, he led a large army to break through the enemy's capital, which always made people feel proud of entering the city, Masayuki Hoshina looked at the large number of houses in front of him, where it was unusually calm, and there was not a single pedestrian in the whole street, like an empty city
Seeing this situation, Bao Ke Masayuki shook his hand slightly and said: "No, don't attack the palace first, divide the troops into three ways, go to attack the east, west, and north gates, and wait for the army to break through the city, defend the city gate for me, and then attack the palace" Bao Ke Masayuki stroked his little beard, paused, and said slowly: "Remember, the heavy momentum is not a heavy attack, just create momentum, the garrison is already at the end of the crossbow, and it doesn't take much effort"
The meaning of Baoke Masayuki is very clear, since one gate has been captured, then all the other three gates will be blocked, so that all the armies and royal families of the Khiva Khanate will have no place to escape
A division commander was a little puzzled and said, "General, the palace is right in front of you, why don't we take advantage of the situation to take it, at least we can deter them"
Masayuki Hoshina sighed, shook his head and said, "Something is wrong" He pointed to a large area of houses and said: "It seems to be calm there, but I feel that there are dangers hidden everywhere You can find that when attacking the city, in addition to the Kyoto garrison, there are other armies?" If the Khiva Khanate had no other preparations in their capital, then where did their tens of thousands of cavalry go? There are also the armored soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, there are at least sixty or seventy thousand people in total, and so far, we haven't seen any of them."
"What do you mean by ......?" The division commander frowned, "Under these tranquilitys, there are the last killing moves of the Khiva Khanate, of course we will not let our soldiers become victims of these killing moves" The corners of Baoke Zhengzhi's mouth flashed a faint smile: "We defend the four city gates, step by step, after the last war, many soldiers have outstanding combat achievements and upgraded to musketeers, we have 30,000 musketeers, plus the cover of spearmen and crossbowmen, I want to see how their cavalry and armored soldiers counterattack"
Baoke Masayuki's voice was very powerful, but it was soon drowned in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, "The enemy's cavalry attacked, it was the enemy's cavalry" The soldiers of the Japanese army were a little flustered, and Baoke Masayuki hurriedly shouted: "The spearmen are forward, and the musketeers behind are ready to shoot, what are the cavalry afraid of?" We have even killed the cavalry of the four countries, are we still afraid of a little cavalry of one country? The musketeers and crossbowmen have given me time to go up to the roof, go to the roof and kill the cavalry for me, and capture more horses for me, for we have too few horses."
The Japanese army immediately set up a formation, the front was the spearmen who withstood the rushing cavalry, and the musketeers in the back "horn, horn, horn" continued to shoot, plus the "whoosh" arrow rain in the back, a large number of cavalry of the Khiva Khanate fell to the ground and died, but the spearmen also suffered heavy losses, but still rushed out of countless spearmen and cavalry to fight, and musketeers and archers climbed onto the roof to slaughter the cavalry, and the tragic street battle started ****??
The night wind was bleak, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the entire city of Khiva seemed to be unable to hear any other sounds except the sound of horses' hooves and killing, or even if there were other sounds, they had long since been lost in these domineering sounds
Anusha knew immediately that the south gate of the capital had been breached, and all the armored soldiers and the remaining cavalry knew that they would be the ones who would fight to the death next
Every Yulinwei in the Khava Khanate's armored Yulin battalion has undergone strict training, so they have the courage to engage any opponent, because the daytime battle has caused a large number of cavalry to be shot by crossbowmen and musketeers on the roof, so the Japanese army captured a large number of war horses, but the combat effectiveness and morale of the Yulin Guard are extremely strong, and the horse's hooves and billowing smoke and dust did not bring them the slightest panic
"Your Majesty, it looks like they're coming soon," said a minister who had always kept a smile on his face, who had always kept a smile on his face
Anusa sat under the wall of the gatehouse, looked up at the night sky, and said lightly: "Come, come early, come early" He had just received the news from the harem, and his father finally swallowed his last breath under the anger of defeat and the danger of the destruction of the country by attracting an irresistible enemy army
The flames were soaring, and the Yulin guards on the upper floor of the palace city heard the cheers of the Ming Empire's Japanese soldiers coming in from all directions, and they all knew that the Japanese soldiers should have attacked their capital from all sides.360118._Bubble&Book&
The garrison was able to hold up for several hours, holding up precious time for the second defense of the Yulin army and the cavalry who had abandoned their horses, and in any case, they were a respectable group of soldiers of the Khiva Khanate
The sound of fighting did not stop because the soldiers of the Japanese army broke the city, and there were still shouts and miserable cries from all sides, and the battle in the capital continued, but it must not last long
Although he had not been in office for a long time, he successfully fulfilled his responsibilities as the garrison of Kyoto in the Khiva Khanate
"It seems that the garrison is more auspicious" Anusa looked at the front of the flames, shook his head and sighed: "We in Kyoto, only this garrison is competent to really lead troops to fight" For the defeat of the huge coalition army, he deeply believes that those generals and marshals have unshirkable responsibilities
Sighing, Anusha said lightly: "There is a saying in the Ming Empire, generals will inevitably die in battle, real soldiers, die on the battlefield, but they also die well" His voice was a little vicissitudes, maybe at this time, whoever feels that he is about to die when the sound will be like this
After a fierce battle, the Japanese army broke through the city of Khiva from all sides, although the garrison of Khiva City and 50,000 cavalry troops fought to the death with the Japanese army, and finally because they were outnumbered, the momentum became smaller and smaller, the commander of the garrison army of Khiva City was killed in the chaos, and other generals of all sizes were killed and wounded, more than 100,000 garrisons and 50,000 cavalry troops, under the attack of 300,000 Japanese army of soldiers, there was little left
On the side of the Japanese army, there were also nearly 120,000 casualties, and the four gates of Khiva and the city were full of blood, and the corpses were piled up like mountains, and these bloody smells, through the night wind, permeated the sky over the entire Khiva city
The garrison and cavalry troops were either killed or captured, and under the banner of Baoke Masayuki, in addition to leaving some of the Japanese people to coerce the army to block the four gates, the four gates formed a four-way army to form a line and attacked the palace of the Khiva Khanate from the direction of the main gate
In front of the hundreds of thousands of troops, there were criss-crossing residential streets, which allowed the street Ujinwaki army to successfully use the street terrain to eliminate the cavalry troops of the Khiva Khanate, but now it has become an obstacle to the large advance of the Ujinwaki army, which can only be divided into a dozen long snake-like ranks, ready to cross the street and converge on the square in front of the Khiva Palace
According to the order of Baoke Masayuki, more than a dozen long snake troops, led by spearmen as snake heads, followed by crossbowmen and musketeers, this order was naturally carried out without hesitation
The officers and soldiers of the Japanese coercion with spears in their hands are not idiots, their generals are not fools, they know that this is to use their army as cannon fodder, but the spearmen are the lowest type of troops, only by establishing more combat merits, can they be equipped with bows and crossbows, and if they establish more combat exploits, they can become musketeers, and in the battle under the city of Bukhara, let at least 40,000 Japanese soldiers become musketeers or even officers because of their military exploits
For the Khiva Khanate's armored guards and guards, the soldiers of the Japanese coercion army were still a little afraid, and they also knew very well in their hearts that the most elite troops of the Khiva Khanate might be killed from somewhere
In the last of the Japanese army is a cavalry unit, due to the capture of a large number of horses, at least 50,000 cavalry behind, of course, these cavalry are infantry riding war horses, in the side of Bao Ke Zhengzhi, is 800 real cavalry trained cavalry troops, after a tragic siege battle, these cavalry is the most energetic to maintain a branch of troops, siege battle, the cavalry of the nobles of the arms did not participate in the siege, the 800 cavalry of the Japanese army just stayed quietly in the rear, waiting for the city to break, Rushed into Kyoto City in one fell swoop
After the heavily armed cavalry rushed into the city, for those garrisons who had fought hard, they were undoubtedly demons falling from the sky, chopping melons and chopping vegetables, and the garrison that died at the hands of these cavalry had at least three thousand people, although they were the last to join the battle group, but the blood on their blades was much more than that of other arms of the same number of brother troops
Knowing that the elite troops of the Khiva Khanate would be hidden in the peacefully hidden houses, the pride of the large number of soldiers on horseback and the real cavalry sat high on their horses, and this pride made them despise the danger they were about to face, and the rumbling hooves of horses resounded in the empty streets
The layout itself here is very distinctive, in front of the majestic palace, there are many houses, but there are more than ten avenues in a fan-shaped way very regularly, at first glance, it is like the traces of light emitted by the palace, and it is like a peacock opening the screen In addition to the spearmen, the cavalry also took the lead in rushing to the street, the clean and smooth street is paved with bluestone, and the strong horse's hooves are stepped on it, making a "da-da-da" sound, crisp and abnormal, and more than a dozen streets resounded at the same time
More than a dozen cavalrymen rushed to the front, and the horses under the seats made a thunderous hoof, ruthlessly shattering the tranquility of the street, and the few war horses rushing to the front were breathing the air around them vigorously, maintaining a steady level, but at the same time, they neighed in pain and neighed from the middle, and several war horses fell to the ground at the same time
The heavy body of the war horse slammed on the bluestone floor of the street, shaking a few dusts, but it shook the street as if it trembled, the horse's head hit the ground heavily, the blood burst out, and the cavalry on the horse, no matter how good their riding skills, were also caught off guard by this sudden change, and fell to the ground, before they could wake up from the pain of the broken leg, from the houses on the side of the street, a few black quenched crossbow arrows shot out, and pierced into their bodies before the first few war horses fell to the ground, At the same time as the cavalry was killed by crossbow arrows, there were a myriad of swishing sounds throughout the quiet streets
Countless arrows flew out, and for a while, people on the street turned on their backs, screaming miserably, and I don't know how many people or horses broke their tendons, and smashed together, rolling, and bleeding
Immediately afterwards, the sound of "horn, horn, horn" musketeers and archers "swishing" through the air sounded, these sounds were like the whistles in the underworld to harvest and reap their lives, which made people tremble, and countless crossbow arrows shot out from the houses on the streets, and shot at the soldiers who fell to the ground, and stopped their screams in an instant
The musketeers and crossbowmen of the Japanese army also counterattacked, and the soldiers of the Khiva Khanate in the houses were also shot to the ground, and at this time, from the direction of the palace rushed a last cavalry army of the Khiva Khanate, and the spearmen of the Japanese army rushed up, stabbing the enemy on the horses with their spears, shouting and killing, screaming, muskets and the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded in more than a dozen streets, at the same time, there was the sad neighing of people turning over on their backs, and the quiet more than a dozen bluestone roads were completely boiling at this moment
But in an instant, there were thousands of dead people in more than a dozen bluestone roads and houses on both sides, some of these dead people were stuck with crossbow arrows, some were shot by bullets, and many war horses were lying on the ground weakly, lying next to the corpses of their masters, neighing in pain, while kicking the horse's legs one by one, the scene was extremely tragic
Countless people fought together, and the terrible screams that pierced the sky spread across the long street, spreading to the sky over the entire Khiva city, and the creepy and narrow streets were full of the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies, as well as the heavy horse corpses that occupied half of the street, and the human corpses and horse corpses were mixed together, and the gurgling blood flowed in pools, spreading into the cracks on the bluestone road of the long street, just like turning into the blood of the bluestone road, flowing, flowing......
On top of the thick palace walls, under the majestic gatehouse, Anusha hid between the gaps between the two shields, looking at everything that was happening in front of him with a frightened look, his face a little pale
The civil servants and generals of the Khiva Khanate were standing behind the king, looking at the thrilling scene of more than a dozen bluestone streets from afar
The fighting on the long street continued, but the Japanese army was strong and strong after all, with a large number of troops, although each step forward had to pay huge casualties, but in the human flesh tactics, they had penetrated more than half of the long street, leaving a large number of corpses and blood along the street
The casualties of the rebel army of the Khiva Khanate were also too great, and by the time the Japanese coerced army had captured half of the street, the last counterattack army of the Khiva Khanate had already lost most of its manpower, and Bao Ke Masazhi slowly stepped on the long street on a horse surrounded by everyone
In front, the soldiers quickly cleaned up the corpses on the long street, clearing a clean path for the advance of the Japanese army, but the blood in the air came to the nose, and the loss of a large number of sergeants made Hoshina Masayuki's brows frown tightly and march forward with blood, victory...... Maybe it's right around the corner
After a bloody battle, at a huge cost of casualties, the Japanese army finally broke through the last counterattack of the Khiva Khan's ** team, and the few remaining cavalry, crossbowmen and armored soldiers of the Khiva Khanate, could only maintain their professional fighting at the last moment of total annihilation
More than a dozen streets, in addition to the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Japanese army, are mostly the corpses of the soldiers and cavalry of the Khiva Khanate who counterattacked, which is several times the corpses of the soldiers of the Japanese army, which is enough to demonstrate the superiority of the weapons and numbers of the Japanese army
Baoke Masayuki stroked his beard and sighed lightly: "I thought that there was no elite army in the Khiva Khanate, until today, I have seen such a desperate army, only under the city of Bukhara can there be a more tragic battle" With the destruction of the army that counterattacked the Khiva Khanate, the Japanese army was once again like a dozen long snakes, and the smoke rolled through the long street, gathering in front of the palace in Khiva City, which was empty and lonely, but the arrival of the Japanese army not only broke the tranquility here, but occupied the square
Under the sky, the fire shines on the armor of the Japanese army, the armor with blood stains is cold and cold in the firelight, and the swords and guns shine with a cold light
The Japanese army rushed to the square, but the sound was quiet, above the palace wall, under the palace wall, there was silence, only the neighing of horses and the sound of waving flags could be heard
This silence was maintained for a long time, and the leader of the Japanese army, Bao Ke Masayuki, was mixed in the military formation, and did not give the first order to attack, nor did he gallop out of the battle, but only observed the defenders upstairs by the light of the fire
Above the castle tower, in the middle was the king Anusha, who was protected by two solid and heavy shields, he poked out half his head slightly, and saw the strict military formation below, his face turned pale with shock, knowing that he could not be spared this time, so he could only fight to the death with the Japanese army
"Report to the general, the artillery is coming up," said an artillery officer who came to the side of Masayuki Hoshina, who had been preparing to bombard the Khiva Palace for a long time in order to reduce losses
On the square of the royal palace in the city of Khiva, the Japanese army erected thirty-five cannons, and they used high-explosive shells sent by domestic military supplies before entering the Khiva Khanate
"Boom, boom, boom" cannon fire rang out, dozens of death's invitations flew in the sky, and flew to the walls of the Khiva Khanate's palace, and immediately bricks and tiles flew wildly, and a large number of Khiva Khanate's Yulin army turned into stumps and flew into the air
Hearing the rumbling cannon, Anusha looked at the screams and lifeless corpses of the Khiva soldiers in the distance with blank eyes, as well as the ministers and generals who were panicked as if the end was coming, he finally collapsed, he didn't want to die "Cast ****??" Surrender, give the order, let all the fighters lay down their arms, we surrender," Anusa said with difficulty
Turkmenistan is subordinate to the Khiva Khanate and the Bukhara Khanate, and is a vassal state of two countries with relatively strong military forces, and now both countries have been destroyed, and the elite troops in Turkmenistan are almost exhausted, so they have no ability to confront the millions of Japanese soldiers and hundreds of thousands of armed pioneer merchants, after less than half a month of looting, the Turkmen king, who saw that the domestic population was about to dry up, surrendered immediately
The Ming Empire's Japanese army was killed and wounded about 170,000 people in the war between the Khiva Khanate and the Turkmen State, as long as the resistance army of the Khiva Khanate was very strong, so that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, after rest and replenishment, the Japanese army has now formally established a million people armed with further Japanese army, the Japanese army totaled more than 1 million and 5,000 people, including 10 divisions of arquebusiers, 100,000 musketeers, 100,000 musketeers, 100,000 spear infantry, 40 divisions, 400,000 crossbowmen, 20 divisions and regiments, 200,000 cavalry, 10 divisions and 100,000 baggage, logistics, artillery, sword and shield soldiers, and other arms add up to about 100,000 and 5,000 people
Since the Khiva Khanate, Turkmen, and Bukhara Khanate were occupied by the Ming ** army, and the population of the three countries was looted, Li Long immediately spent a huge amount of money to emigrate Han Chinese to live in those places, and gave the immigrants a large amount of free land, seeds, and food
Li Xin mobilized 250,000 troops of the Second Army to gather from the garrisoned Xinjiang, Tibet, and Kazakhstan to the border between Bukhara and the Persian Empire, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna led two divisions back to the northwest region of the original Mughal Empire, the current Northwest Province of India of the Ming Empire, and mobilized the Fifth Army stationed in the four provinces of India to the border between the Northwest Province of India and the Persian Empire. In the original more than 300 armed pioneer merchant groups, there were more than 100,000 people, and with the addition of a large number of armed pioneer merchant groups established in China and expanded merchant groups, the armed pioneer merchant group has now increased to more than 500 teams, adding up to more than 300,000 people. Not counting the 23,000-strong soldiers of the "Zhang Lu Group" armed pioneer merchant group that followed the Third Army and plundered the territory of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, as well as the Lin family, the Tian family, the Zhao family, the Zhou family, the Shen family, and other large merchant groups, there were thousands or even thousands of soldiers
In the palace of Isfahan, the capital of the Persian Empire, the Persian emperor Abbas II Shah was furious in the palace after learning the news of the defeat of the coalition army, he was a radical emperor and a relatively strong person, he has always admired the courage and ability of Abbas I Shah to eliminate domestic hidden dangers and then establish a strong force to expand the territory with the help of the British, he believes that he himself is also a capable person, a capable Shah
However, this time the alliance of the five nations failed against the mighty Ming Empire's army, leaving Abbasid II, who was sick and exhausted, feeling confused and disappointed with his army
When the powerful navy of the Ming Empire was raging in the Indian Ocean, the naval ships of Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries were not the opponents of the Ming Empire's navy at all, he heard that at sea, one or two advanced warships of the Ming Empire could destroy ten or twenty warships of European countries, which was simply too exaggerated, and the Ming Empire had been expanding, and the inhabitants of all the expanded territories had become slaves, sweat laborers or migrated to the Central Plains to receive the way of Confucius and Mencius, Confucianism education, For the safety of the Persian Empire, he and the Ottomans abandoned their previous suspicions and united with the Turkmen and the army of the Khiva Khanate to destroy the army of the Ming Empire, but he was disappointed and frightened, and the coalition failed
After some time with the defeat of the coalition, Abbasid II also received the news of the destruction of the Turkmen and Khiva Khanates, he immediately gathered the young people of the country and communicated with the British to buy a large number of purchased arquebuses, ready to deal with the invasion of the Ming Empire, and in order to defend Persia, he supported all the immigrants of the former Mughal Empire and the Bukhara Khanate, as well as the armed forces of the Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Turkmen and Tajiks to fight against the Ming ** team
The army of the Ming Empire also moved, Li Xin mobilized 250,000 troops of the Second Army to enter the Persian Empire from the border between Bukhara and the Persian Empire, Matsudaira Nobutsuna led the 200,000 troops of the Fifth Army to attack the Persian Empire from the border between the Northwest Province of India and the Persian Empire, Sakai Tadashi and Baoke Masayuki mobilized a million Japanese soldiers to invade the Persian Empire on the border between Turkmenistan and the Persian Empire, and more than 500 armed pioneer merchant groups with a total number of more than 300,000 people also followed up and entered the Persian Empire to frantically loot property and population
Due to the vastness of the Persian Empire, coupled with the large number of immigrants from the former Mughal Empire and the Bukhara Khanate, as well as the armed forces of the Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Turkmens and Tajiks, the complex battles with the armies of the Ming Empire began to lead to the innumerable armed forces of the Persian Empire that were as numerous and small as locusts in various places in the previous large-scale operations, so all the troops began to disperse and advance in the area like a plough. Loot people and property while fighting small hostile forces
