Chapter 653: The Battle of Shule

@@@@@@

Although the Black Khanate was a country established by the Uighurs, the composition of the various tribes in the country was also very complicated.

This phenomenon has been repeated in the Western Regions for thousands of years, when the Han army came, they fell to the Han Dynasty; The Turks came, and they fell to the Turks; The Tang army came, and they attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty; The Tibetans came, and they surrendered to Tibet; When the Hui came, they became obedient people;

Now that the Song army is here, how can there be any exceptions?

Yang Zhi swept through Xizhou, Yanqi, Qiuzi, and Yizhou, and recovered Guazhou and Shazhou, and the army had advanced into the Yellow Uighurs and Caotou Tatars;

Even if the news from the broken leaves has not been transmitted, people with a discerning eye can see that the Great Song Dynasty has become unstoppable in the Western Regions.

Chong Jianzhong fought all the way from Khotan, and all parties came to vote, so that his army quickly increased to more than 20,000 people.

Whether it was the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, when operating the Western Regions, they all had the habit of driving the soldiers to fight, how could they not know the benefits of this?

Now under the city of Shule, the bloody battle with Amat is basically the Western Regions soldiers, and the main task of the Song army led by Chong Jianzhong is to supervise the battle.

This is the last city of Black Khan, and whether he can leave a good impression in front of the future master depends on this last chance to perform. Nearly 20,000 soldiers of various ethnic groups worked very hard in the siege battle, and the city of Shule may be described as a river of blood.

The most valuable thing in the Western Regions is human resources, and Yang Yi didn't want to see the soldiers of the various departments fighting with Amat anymore, so he asked Hassan and others to be escorted to the city.

Thinking about Hassan's presence. Amat did not dare to give the order to release the arrows, and the Song army with Hassan approached under the city wall. Let the defenders of the city see it for real.

In addition to Hassan, the general Kamai, the minister of the state Qingnu Yin and other important ministers of the Black Khan were also escorted to the city. Take a walk around the city.

All of a sudden, Shule City has become the most attractive T-shaped catwalk, Hassan, Kamai, Qingnu Yin and other "supermodels" twisted catwalks one by one, from the city to walk by, really the stars are shining, leading people to infinite reverie.

The defenders of the city pointed and pointed, and their eyes were about to fall out, and the buzzing sound was like countless flies flying.

Hassan is naturally the most dazzling one, and he is at the head of the group. At this time, he has the heart to die, but now death has become a luxury for him.

Fortunately, the Song army just escorted him through the city, and there were no other more insults, first, to maintain the image of the Great Song Dynasty as a great power in the world, and secondly, too many insults would arouse the indignation of the defenders in the city, which would only increase the difficulty of attacking the city.

After Hassan and the others finished their catwalk show, the next step was to send someone to persuade them to surrender.

However, Yang Yiquan handed over these things to Chong Jianzhong, and even the 5,000 men and horses he brought were temporarily handed over to him to command. Yang Yi himself began to make a preliminary idea of the future of the entire Western Regions.

The yellow-headed Uighurs and grass-headed Tatars were specifically meant to be destroyed. However, it does not have to be a military strike. Now these two wall grasses have sent messengers to beg for mercy from the Great Song Dynasty;

It's just that Tokyo is far away from here, and they can't find anyone who can call the shots in the Western Regions, so they don't get a definite answer to the peace plea.

In this regard, Yang Yi's idea was to allow them to take the initiative to attach themselves to the two clan leaders of Han Moyi and Ju Lianxi. They can also be given preferential treatment as officials, but they must go to Tokyo to do this, and the tribe will be governed by the officials sent by the Great Song Dynasty.

This is Yang Yi's bottom line. If Han Moyi and Ju Lianxi had any other extravagant ideas, they could only use military strikes to deal with them. The yellow-headed Uighurs and grass-headed Tatars huddle together in the Qaidam Basin south of Guazhou. There is very little strategic space available for maneuvering, and it is not difficult to fight down.

It's Achaibu. Located on the northwest edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it was very troublesome to attack, and the problem of cold and lack of oxygen was very likely to make the Song army pay a heavy price.

And now there is a more urgent solution to the Dali in the south, compared with Dali, the value of the Achai Department is not known how many times, if you consider it from an economic point of view alone, the entire Tubo Plateau combined is not as good as Dali.

There are priorities, and the Tibetan ministries could have left it for the future to be slowly resolved, but this time the Achai Ministries also defected, and if they were not severely punished, it would inevitably make the Western Regions departments feel that the Great Song Dynasty was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

In the future, the various departments of Tubo will rely on the advantages of the terrain, but I am afraid that they will be more unscrupulous, and the contradictions in this really give Yang Yi a headache.

Ma Hanqing saw that Yang Yi was difficult to decide on this matter, so he suggested: "My lord, among the six tribes that were originally allied with our Great Song Dynasty, the Qiangtang Department and the Tusi Ma Department did not oppose, and their territory happened to be together with the Yellow Head Uighurs, forming an encirclement posture against the Achai Ministry. ”

Yang Yi's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and the whole person was still trapped in self-thought, and after a while, Ma Hanqing heard him say: "Hanqing, have you thought about how to make a tribe quickly become powerful?" ”

Ma Hanqing replied with understanding: "Merger." ”

"Yes, it's a merger. There is nothing more rapid than this method to make the small tribes grow faster, and now there are still wars between the various tribes of Tibet, but on the whole a delicate balance of power has been formed;

If we support the annexation of the Achai tribe by the Tusi Ma tribe and the Qiangtang tribe, it will inevitably greatly increase the strength of the Tusi Ma tribe and the Qiangtang tribe, and in this way, the balance of power on the Tubo Plateau is likely to be broken;

These two tribes are the most powerful tribes in the Tibetan tribes, if after the annexation of the Achai tribe, they will take advantage of the power of great victory to annex other Tibetan tribes, its development momentum will be difficult to suppress, even if it is strong enough to pose a serious threat to the Western Regions in a few years, it is not surprising, so this matter has to be cautious. ”

Ma Hanqing didn't dare to talk nonsense now, during the Tang Dynasty, the Hexi Corridor and the four towns of Anxi fell into the hands of the Tubo people, who dared to guarantee that Tubo would not become strong again?

What Tubo lacks now is not strength, but the lack of a centralized power to unify the various ministries, in case Tubo is reunited, with its superior geographical location, it will become the biggest threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, anything that may lead to the reunification of Tibet must be avoided.

"My lord, what are you going to do?" Ma Hanqing asked.

Yang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, if there was a way, would he still need such a headache?

"Let me think about this matter again, how to do it specifically, it is best to decide after returning to Guazhou, and then see if you can do it without a fight, you don't have to worry about these things, Hanqing, you don't have to worry about these things, while there is still some time, you try to build a communication channel in the Western Regions, and then say, this matter is more important than other things, you will work harder."

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will definitely build a communication channel as soon as possible."

The siege battle under Shule City began again, a burst of fierce explosions came to the big tent, and the tea on the small table was slightly shaking, it can be seen that the attack launched by the construction of this time was very violent, it is obvious that the attack launched by the construction of the city is very fierce, it is obvious that the construction of the city is to strike while the iron is hot, and take advantage of the fact that Hassan has finished the catwalk show and the morale of the Shule defenders is low.

Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, since the command of this battle was handed over to Chong Jianzhong, Yang Yi didn't bother to point fingers anymore, and thought about the affairs of the Western Regions alone in the big tent.

I don't know how long it took, Adele came from outside with Ame, her face was a little bad, Yang Yi asked in surprise, "Adella, what's wrong?" ”

Adella shook her head and replied, "I'm fine." ”

The love fan next to him helped answer: "Her Royal Highness the princess just went to watch the siege battle, the general ordered to throw bundles of grenades on the city, and the defenders on the city were blown up to the flesh and blood, so it was not miserable, the princess probably saw the terrible scene, and felt uncomfortable." ”

Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, although Adella is a woman, she has fought with the army, but the war scene of hot weapons is much more tragic than cold weapons after all, a bundle of cluster grenades thrown up, often severed limbs and stumps flying, and intestines and broken flesh and brains are splashed everywhere;

People who see this kind of scene for the first time are prone to nausea and chest tightness;

Especially for people like Adella, who are bystanders, because they have not personally entered the battlefield and have not been aroused by the atmosphere of the battlefield, they are more likely to have various adverse reactions.

Yang Yi reached out and hugged her to his lap, patted her cheek lightly and smiled: "Who told you to run to see this, women should not be involved in the war, this time it is scary." ”

Adella leaned her head into his arms and sighed: "That scene is indeed a little scary, Da Song has such a terrible weapon, who else can be defeated in this world?" The defending side no longer has any geographical advantages at all, and when the Song army attacks the city, who can defend it? Sooner or later, the world will all belong to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Although Adella's words are exaggerated, grenades are indeed very good for siege and defense;

Now the walls of various places are not very high, mostly in two battles, that is, about six meters; This height from below the city allowed a grenade to be thrown at the top of the city;

Now people don't know how to lie down to avoid shrapnel, and a string of grenades is thrown on it, and the damage to the defenders is quite staggering. The city's apparatus can also be easily destroyed. No wonder Adella had such an exclamation after watching this siege battle.

Yang Yi hugged her and said with a smile: "What I want to tell you is that the Great Song Dynasty is also your motherland now." ”

Adella was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and said: "My body is owned by Yang Lang, Yang Lang's motherland is my motherland, from now on, the Great Song Dynasty is my motherland......"

"Come on, come and see the reward."

Yang Yi said and kissed her moist red lips.

Amy looked at the side and turned around and was about to avoid it, but her small waist tightened and fell into Yang Yi's arm.

The last time this pretty girl was Adella's substitute, she actually let out a muffled cry when she was happy, and at first Yang Yi thought she was sad, but later learned that this was just her reaction to being different from her.

Yang Yi felt quite funny about this, and often teased her.
