In mid-September, the effortless Ximen Wangfu took Hami City, but in the granary of the city, not much grain was found, in addition to a large number of dried fruits, there were more cotton piled up in the warehouse, which made him and Jian Yingxing quite disappointed, nearly 30,000 troops were not more expensive than an outdated master, it is really unbelievable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When leaving, under the persuasion of Jian Yingxing, Ximen Wangfu did not send troops to destroy the dense wells and canals outside the city.

At the eastern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Wangfu, who continued to march towards Turpan, met the cavalry group of the Turpan royal court, and the encounter began immediately.

"Kill," 20,000 Mongol cavalry, and 30,000 Turpan cavalry rushed together, the dull sound of short fire/guns sounded intensively, and more arrows flew like raindrops; After a big battle, the Turpan cavalry retreated in a hurry, and Wangfu also lost nearly 7,000 warriors.

Jian Yingxing, who came in a hurry, could only replenish some ammunition for Ximen Wangfu's personal guards, took out 3,000 rolls of medicine belts, and the two sides joined forces and buried the corpses of the Mongolian cavalry on the spot.

Ximen Wangfu, who knew that the Muscle Pill was precious, just asked the two commanders for the elixir, and the other wounded soldiers could only survive on their own, but fortunately, there was still a medicine belt to alleviate the injury.

The supplies were tied to the horses, the carriage was vacated, and the four thousand wounded soldiers, half on horseback, half in the carriage, were sent to Hami City, Ximen Wangfu and Jian Yingxing after discussion, decided to continue to advance to Turpan.

However, they didn't expect that from the depths of the grassland in the south, a detachment of tile spur cavalry came over to kill them, and they caught the wounded soldiers returning to Hami City head-on, and the 100 logistics teams escorted by them were all killed on the grassland.

The cavalry, who had captured hundreds of revolver short-fledged firearms, was wounded too much, and after setting fire to the carriage, they quickly retreated into the steppe to the south.

When 13,000 Mongolian cavalry and Jian Yingxing's army rushed to the outside of Turpan, Wangfu and Jian Yingxing found that they still underestimated the king of Turpan.

In the hot and hot wind, the heavily guarded Tulupan City, the city gate was closed, and the two major teams of the east and west teams outside the city made Jian Yingxing hurriedly order, gathered his troops and occupied a high ground five miles outside the city, and began to camp and repair.

A rat-like chariot quickly sank into the grassland and rushed towards Hami City.

This is a large grassy slope high in the west and low in the east, three rat-type chariots, two transport vehicles, lined up in a row across the grassy slope halfway up, a thousand cavalry with knives, a thousand cavalry from Aman, dismounted and became an infantry armed with fire/spear, and half of the cavalry inside held a repeating crossbow and earth-shaking thunder.

The 700 carts of the logistics team, carrying supplies, retreated to the second line of defense and formed a chariot formation, and more than 10,000 cavalry escorted the two wings; The ground on the grassy slope was hard, making it difficult to dig trenches, and this simple defensive formation was quickly formed.

At the top of the grassy slope, two heavy machine guns and ten lightning guns were erected, and the ammunition boxes in the transport truck were pulled out and placed aside.

However, Ximen Wangfu didn't want to stand in the center of the car formation, but held a short fire/gun, and stayed in the cavalry brigade on horseback, seeing that the chief Tang Zhenghe and Kong Xiangming led more than 20 black-clothed guards, carrying iron boxes one by one, and began to place jumping mines below the waist of the grassy slope.

"We should rush over and take out a thorn cavalry first," he muttered, as Simon Wangfu took off the wine bag beside his saddle, pulled out the cork and took a sip of it, and the two captains who hugged him nodded approvingly.

They didn't know that if it weren't for Jian Yingxing's retention of more than 10,000 cavalry, it would still be useful, and at this time they had already ordered Wangfu to attack the city to attract the attention of the two large teams of tile spur cavalry outside the city.

As long as he attracts the attention of King Tulupan for half a month here, the task of Jianyingxing will basically be completed, of course, if he takes Tulupan City, it will be a great achievement.

And Xiao Ye's hint of consuming 20,000 cavalry, Jian Yingxing disagrees with it too obviously, after all, there are still more than 100,000 elite cavalry in the Tile Thorn tribe, and this is only 20,000, oh, now it is more than 13,000 cavalry, and sooner or later it will be exhausted.

Jian Yingxing had just set up a defensive position, and a group of tile spur cavalry rushed over from the south, and 10,000 cavalry were led by a thousand Turpan cavalry troops, and the scimitars were raised high like a forest, and the whining horn sounded in the sky.

The smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun were lifted on the grassland, and the surging rush of the tile spur cavalry crossed a huge arc four miles away as far as Jian Yingxing's eyes could see, and slowly stopped, and the high Pan flag fluttered in the wind.

"They are adjusting the attack arrows, and they are about to impact," Jian Yingxing raised the telescope in his hand and said to Sun Xiaoming beside him, "The repeating machine gun on the chariot, there will be no problem, right?" ”

"No, you've seen the power of the machine gun, and there are twenty-two of my brothers in front," Sun Xiaoming frowned and snorted, "You take care of the machine guns and small cannons in the back, and you can't collapse the fire when it's time to fight,"

Jian Yingxing didn't seem to feel Sun Xiaoming's tone, and stared at the tile spur cavalry in the distance quietly, "Command the knife, Aman, without an order, resist the tile spur cavalry on the spot, and you must not attack at will,"

Woo, woo, the poignant sound of the horn came, and a large force of tile spur cavalry put out three sharp attack arrows, the cavalry wore pointed round helmets, wore leather armor, and raised all kinds of weapons in their hands, scimitars, maces, spears, and the smell of blood was permeated, and the wolf tooth arrows were also bitten in their mouths.

Rumbling, in less than a cup of tea, the cavalry had rushed to the foot of the grassy slope, shook the reins with great effort, and the war horse obediently raised its hooves, and rushed up the slope without slowing down; The boom was like a surging torrent, and the waves hit the dismounted cavalry guarding behind the vehicle.

Once the Mongolian cavalry dismounted, the combat power would be reduced to about sixty percent, and the two thousand rugged men holding weapons were suffocated by the spur cavalry swarming in front of them.

The sporadic jumping thunder at the foot of the grassy slope could not withstand the speed of the horses raised by the cavalry, and the injured horses and companions stimulated the blood of the large number of cavalry even more, and the torrent rushing to the top of the grassy slope was even more turbulent.

"Woohoo, woo," the crisp sound of the rifle sounded, "all the same, all the way," the machine gun of the rat chariot let out a furious fire, pulling out a long tongue of fiery fire, and the hot shells clanged.

The roaring machine guns overhead, and the indifferent faces of the black-clothed guards around them, made the two thousand cavalrymen raise their rear-loading fires/guns with red faces and raise their crossbows; More cavalry grabbed the earth-shattering thunder in their hands and pulled out the fire rope.

Five hundred or three hundred paces, the cavalry of the tile thorns, who had been gnawed off a piece of meat from time to time by machine guns and rifles, rushed to about 200 paces of the car formation with a roar, and jumped up from the ground one after another, and swept away the nearby war horses and living people with a roar.

The Tile Spur cavalry, which was occupied in terms of numbers, stumbled close to the chariot formation after losing 2,000 warriors along the way, and at this time, the sound of the brass flute of the Jianying Commanding Soldiers behind them could be heard.

"Didi, Didi," with the sound of the sharp flute, the cavalry who had rushed to the car formation within a hundred paces could see the nervous faces behind the black car.

The crackling explosion turned into a piece of earth-shattering thunder, and the shrapnel and smoke that were lifted directly drowned the three thorn cavalry arrows in the thick smoke, and the fire/guns and repeating crossbows in their hands swept down the slope frantically.

Regardless of whether you see it or not, as long as there is a shadow in the smoke and dust, it will be hit by fire/guns and crossbows, and the earth-shaking thunder will not be thrown for money.

Within a hundred paces of the chariot formation, it became a nightmare for the cavalry, and the corpses piled up, more and more, gradually blocking the footsteps of the cavalry behind, and they could no longer jump over their horses.

When the three machine guns on the chariot raised their muzzles and began to strafe the follow-up tile spur cavalry, Jian Yingxing, who was in command of the Chinese army, shook his head regretfully, Sun Xiaoming did not listen to his plan, and let the chariot fire in advance, otherwise, he was sure to leave eighty percent of the 10,000 tile spur cavalry in front of him.

But now, it is also a good result to be able to leave more than half, at least it can play an inspiring role for Ximen Wangfu, Daozi, and Aman's subordinates.

The Tile Spur cavalry, who retreated in embarrassment, soon the remnants of the remnants and another Tile Spur cavalry brigade rushed over, and the 20,000 cavalry once again launched a brutal charge to the grass slope, not giving Jian Yingxing time to breathe at all.

"Tongtong, Tongtong," "Bang, Bang," the machine gun and lightning cannon in Jian Yingxing's hand quickly joined the ranks of firing, and even Jian Yingxing took five heralds and raised the fire/gun in his hand.

In an hour, the smoke of gunpowder quickly dissipated, and the tile spur cavalry had already dispersed and fled, not daring to attack this meat-grinding grass slope, and Ximen Wangfu, who was waiting with sweaty palms, finally heard Jian Yingxing's military order.

The terrifying machine gun and a series of flowering bullets made Ximen Wangfu wisely obey Jian Yingxing's order, and kept holding back, watching the cavalry and soldiers on both sides fight to the death on the grassy slope, until the figure of the herald appeared.

"Attack, attack," pulled out the gem-studded scimitar with the hilt, Ximen Wangfu roared loudly, and the horse team around him, which had been about to move for a long time, echoed and flowed down like flowing water.

The horn sounded, and the Mongolian cavalry at the other end of the formation also shouted and urged the horses to move, and the rout chasing the Tile Thorn cavalry pounced.

In a light pursuit battle, Ximen Wangfu chased and killed the Tile Spur cavalry in front of him at the cost of injuring 100 people, and approached to the bottom of the city of Tulupan, until the sound of artillery sounded at the head of the city, and then he proudly returned to the grassy slope.

According to the knives and Aman, more than half of the cavalry were injured in this battle, after all, the tile spur cavalry who rushed up at the risk of death could jump in front of them by hiding under the belly of the horse, if it weren't for the young and strong logistics team behind them, and the short fire/gun support in their hands, maybe there would be more casualties.

Such a level of casualties also made Wangfu's heart a little depressed, and it disappeared.

"Each hundred-man team cleans the battlefield, counts the casualties and reports," as Jian Yingxing's order was issued, the cavalry under Ximen Wangfu happily searched for weapons and property on the battlefield, while the war battalion quickly cleared the vicinity of the car formation, and immediately treated their wounded.

When the night fell, the men of the logistics team moved out of the heating stove, laid it out, poured clean water into the pot, and boiled it with a large piece of washed horse meat, put some shallots and refined salt.

Although the weather is hot and phlegm, resulting in a decrease in the amount of clean water collected by umbrellas, at the end of the day, hundreds of umbrellas also collect enough clean water, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of bathing.

The cold evening breeze swept by, shrinking the grassy slope of the defensive position, although there was still a faint fishy smell, but the surviving soldiers and cavalry, one by one, were full of cheerful smiling faces, and the canned fried noodles that were opened were waiting for the room to send boiling water.

The first wave of broth and meat pieces were to be given to the wounded soldiers to eat and drink, but none of them were in a hurry, and with water umbrellas, the grassland with no water flow within a radius of 50 miles was no longer a place to die. This is also where the confidence of Jianyingxing lies.

In the tent on the top of the grassy slope, Jian Yingxing, Daozi, A Man, Sun Xiaoming, and Ximen Wangfu were around a heating stove, talking and laughing loudly, and were eating boiled rotten horse meat; In the past few days, I'm afraid that horse meat will be eaten until I am appetizing.

The herald hurriedly ran into the tent, and after whispering a few words in Jian Yingxing's ear, he saw that the chief officer did not say anything, so he retreated.

Raising his eyes to look at Wangfu, Jian Yingxing put down the iron bowl in his hand, chewed the meat and squinted for a while, but did not speak rashly, and the tent was quiet; In this battle, Jian Yingxing already has a status in the hearts of everyone, in addition to Hou Ye's military orders, everyone has more trust in him.

"Wangfu," after pondering for a moment, Jian Yingxing decided that he couldn't hide the news, and it was better to let Wangfu know about this matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause estrangement.

Among the crowd, the most gentle, or Ximen Wangfu, who has an aristocratic temperament, this posture cannot be learned by others, it is quite eye-catching, and Jian Yingxing has to admire.

Ximen Wangfu, who was drinking the broth slowly, jumped slightly at the corner of his eyebrows, and looked at Jian Yingxing with a smile, "Brother Yingxing has something to say, there are no outsiders here,"

"Oh, that's right," Jian Yingxing's face froze, looking at the others, "The wounded soldiers who returned to Hami City, as well as the logistics team of a hundred young and strong, were all killed halfway, our patrol chariot encountered, and now it is five miles away, waiting for orders,"

"What?" With a snap, the soup bowl in Ximen Wangfu's hand fell to the ground, and the hot meat juice splashed on his hand and he didn't find it, and he kicked Jian Yingxing in a daze, "No life?" ”

"No, but I found a new place with dense traces of horses' hooves trampling, and the guards dug it up and saw that some of the newly dead Tile Thorn Cavalry were buried,"

Whew, Ximen Wangfu stood up, the green tendons on his neck jumped, and he roared in a low voice, "The Tile Thorn Tribe? Dare to attack our wounded soldiers? They're so arrogant,"

A full 4,000 Mongolian cavalry died so inexplicably, and Ximen Wangfu was a pain in pain. Added up, he had already lost nearly eight thousand warriors this time.

"It should be a 10,000-strong team of tile thorns, otherwise it won't kill all the wounded soldiers, and the young and strong of the 100 logistics team, the firearms in their hands are not easy to deal with," Jian Yingxing said depressedly, he was still careless.

The Tile Spur cavalry reacted so quickly, and there were 30,000 people, I am afraid that the relationship between the King of Turpan and the Tile Thorn tribe is not so simple.

The tile spur cavalry retreated, and Jian Yingxing, who was not disturbed by the attack, decisively sent a large number of rangers, two rat chariots to patrol day and night, blocking the contact between Tulupan City and the outside world, and constantly searching and killing the messengers sent by Tulupan City, directly cutting off the road between Tulupan City and Puchang City.

There was no movement in Tulupan City, and Ximen Wangfu was majestic, and a large force of cavalry looted the nearby villages, not only food, property, but also the population, these were all captured by him, and the Hou Ye promised to belong to him all.

Groups of cavalry, escorting food, property, and a large number of people from Turpan, began to return to Gujiapu.

Puchang City, Wang Deyu, who came quietly, repeated his old tricks and took down the guards of Puchang City, and the 900,000 catties of grain stored in the city's warehouse also temporarily fell into Xiao Ye's hands; But it was too far away from the Sichih tribe to wait for the arrival of the transporters.

After receiving the letter of surrender from the guard, Wang Deyu quickly returned to the Xichih tribe and joined Xiao Ye, who was waiting there. With the two nomination letters in hand, Xiao Ye also has a stable food route, he is not afraid of spending money, what he is afraid of is that he can't buy food with money.

In late September, Xiao Ye sent another Wang Hu barracks to Jian Yingxing to escort a thousand carriages, which Xiao Ye had requisitioned from the merchants and Hao Yongliang's artillery team.

The casualties of the Jianying Xingbu were huge, which surprised Xiao Ye very much, and he also had a clear understanding of the combat power attached to his command.

This time, Hao Yongliang brought a larger-caliber lightning cannon, an 81-caliber barrel, compared with a 51-caliber small cannon, not only the effective range increased to 6,000 steps, just looking at the shells in the iron box, Jian Yingxing knew the fate of the king of Tulufan.

It's a battle to break the city, and he is sure of it.

"Boom, boom," the cannonball, which was thicker than the calf, drew an arc directly from the grassy slope, smashed under the city wall of Tulupan City, and jumped a large piece of earth and stones; In Hao Yongliang's shouting and scolding, the gunner carefully corrected the range of the copper watch on the gun, and another shell was put into the barrel.

Twenty shells blew up a corner of the city wall, and after jumping off a bronze cannon, it also shook the Turpan cavalry that could not be defended.

When the two rat-shaped chariots approached the city of Turpan and roamed outside the city to attack the defenders at the head of the city from time to time, the king of Turpan, who was hiding in the city, finally saw the situation in front of him clearly, and reluctantly sent messengers to try to make peace with the enemy forces outside the city.

"Compensate our department for the loss of 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 1 million catties of grain, otherwise the sword will not be sealed after the city is broken," Ximen Wangfu, who represented Jian Yingxing, made a request to the royal court general and the lion who represented the king of Tulupan.

"No, we don't have so much gold and silver grain, at most we can take out half of it, and there are more than 3,000 Han people in the city, who can be handed over to you as slaves," the tall lieutenant general, his face was like a land protest.

"Then continue the artillery bombardment of the city, and destroy your walls, Benjinong's cavalry is just about to have a good time in the city," the vicious Simon Wangfu glared at the lieutenant and slapped his scimitar on the wooden case.

This lieutenant also rose up to his courage and stubbornly looked at Wangfu.

"Ahem," seeing that it was about to stiffen, Jian Yingxing, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, interjected at the right time, "In this way, the compensation cannot be reduced, but you can use materials to exchange half of the gold and silver, this is our bottom line,"

"You know, this time our casualties are not small, but you are not badly damaged, and the cavalry of the Nawa Thorn has retreated," with a smiling face on the gloomy face, Jian Yingxing secretly threatened, for this kind of wall grass, let them compensate on both sides, otherwise it is better to say that it is the fox fur.

"This, the last general is going back to report to my king," the lieutenant hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, I will give you three days, when the time comes, my Mongolian army will immediately attack the city, then you will not regret it, then we will take the compensation ourselves," waving his hand, Wangfu disdainfully dismissed the aggrieved general.

Two days later, General Wei brought two copies of the Righteous Peace Treaty, with grain, cotton, Chinese herbs, and half of the gold and silver, plus the 3,000 Han military households that were thrown out, in exchange for the withdrawal of Ximen Wangfu.

In the agreement, Ximen Wangfu and the royal court of Turpan agreed that the two sides could exchange trade routes, and they should not interfere with the flow of caravans, nor should they immediately prohibit the types of goods.

The military households of the Hami Thousand Households, from top to bottom, were sent to Jian Yingxing's hands; These soldiers, who had no intention of resisting, were confiscated of all their weapons, and the Turpan cavalry escorted them out of the city, where they were successfully handed over to the scimitars of the Mongol cavalry.

In mid-October, Jianyingxing, who was full of harvest, received an order from the Hou Ye to return to Gujiabao with camp. At this time, the Ximen Stone Fort had already begun to live in the war barracks.
