**************************************************************************

Of the 20,000 horses in Mali, less than 6,000 were able to escape back to Mount Baishan. The rest either filled in the yellow mud ditch or became captives of Miao Zhu.

Miao Zhu took thousands of war horses from the hands of the Black Thorn Mali, and he threw the brigade again, turning thousands of infantry into cavalry infantry and rushing to Datong City.

There were originally 20,000 horses, but they were forcibly dismantled into three strands by General Miao, with the 5,000 at the back escorting grain and grass, and the 10,000 in the middle guarding the prisoners.

The first five thousand, two legs have become four legs, which sounds messy, and it is estimated that only people like Miao Zhu can do this kind of thing.

His 5,000 horses were originally foot soldiers, many of them were not skilled in horsemanship, and the crumbling appearance of riding on the horses was terrifying, and the whole team had no formation at all, some were unkempt and some were huddled together, some were half a mile behind, and some people screamed from time to time. The people of Liao along the way couldn't help but suspect that they were not rushing to the battlefield at all. Rather, a group of remnants of the defeated army will flee.

But no matter what, General Miao finally caught up with the Battle of Baishan.

When I saw Zhe Ke again, General Miao had already stuffed a two-pound big meatloaf in his stomach, and he didn't have any complaints, but he still sighed with a smile: "It's really better to come early than to come by chance!" Hahaha.........."

The temperament of this pair of guys is a little speechless. To be honest, except for Wang Shao, who promoted him back then, even Zhang Qi and Yang Yi, who are extremely prestigious, have not been able to really subdue this wild and untamable Northwest wolf. Zhe Keshi knew that he couldn't do it even more.

But he still persuaded him: "If General Miao can collect his temperament, I am afraid that it is General Miao who is now in charge of all the departments of the Western Regions, and it is General Miao who is the one who runs the black sweat." ”

Speaking of which. Miao Zhi was really a little annoyed in his heart, when he conquered Hexi, Yang Yi appointed him as the striker. quite trusted, he himself is also destroying the city and the pool. A thousand miles in a day, what a pleasure;

In the end, he didn't hold it in Juyanhai, and Yang Yili had to protect it to keep his military position, if there was no matter of Juyanhai, it might really be him who guarded Yumen Pass.

Now it's okay, people have become a figure in the Western Regions. I still have to be a "baggage officer" in the back, and I really responded to that sentence: character determines fate.

Seeing that Miao Zhu was a little unhappy. Zhi Keshi regretted mentioning this stubble a little, so he changed the topic and said: "With the five or six thousand people who escaped from Huangnigou, there are probably nearly 20,000 horses in Wuspur Mali, how does General Miao think this battle should be fought?" ”

Zhe Keshi didn't put the main general's shelf, Miao Zhi replied with a smile: "It's not what we want to do now, it's what we want to do?" Huangnigou was defeated, he has lost his sharpness, if I were him, I would definitely throw away all my belongings and break through immediately, if I changed to a general, I guess I would do the same, right? ”

"Yes, but it stands to reason that after the Spur Mali escaped, he should have led the army to break through immediately, but he didn't see any movement until now, didn't General Miao think it was strange?"

"It's not surprising, because Spur Mari was injured, he was shot in one arm, and he had no time to bandage it in a hurry, and he fled back to Baishan Mountain and must have lost half his life, if he is unconscious because of this, the army has no leader, and it is normal to delay for a while, but it will definitely not be too long, and the breakthrough during the day is extremely unfavorable to them, I dare to guarantee that they will choose to break through tonight."

Miao Zhu's words were an understatement, but it was just right, the power of the flintlock pistol must have made Spur Mari feel uneasy, as long as he was a little more sensible, he would not choose to break through during the day.

Only at night, using the cover of night, counteracting the power of the flintlock guns, it was possible to minimize casualties when breaking through.

"In which direction does General Miao think they will break through?"

"First to the north, then to the south, and after getting rid of our army, then to the east or west."

Miao is arrogant and arrogant, but he is absolutely outstanding in terms of military talent, he is still careless, but this set of breakthrough plans is interlocking, and it stands to reason that everyone will think that Spur Mali will break through to the north in order to quickly escape into the vast grassland;

Therefore, if he first went north at night, it would be easy to attract the Song army to the north, and then suddenly return to the south, and the 15,000 Song troops in the south would definitely not expect that the Spur Mali would go south again, and it was likely to be defeated by the Spur Mali in a hurry.

In this way, Spur Mari not only rescued tens of thousands of captured men, but also greatly boosted morale after victory, and at that time it was up to him whether to go east to Zhangjiakou or west to Yinshan.

Never think that the enemy is stupider than you.

This is a sentence that Yang Yi often puts on his lips, and both Zhi Keshi and Miao Shu have heard it, so now that they can think of a way to break through, don't think that they can't think of it. The two quickly arranged it and secretly guarded against it.

On the city of Datong, Xijing stayed behind in Yelu Daqing and watched the Song army surround Baishan Mountain, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out. He didn't dare to send a single soldier out of the city, so he could only watch others fight on the land of Liao.

It is indeed a great sorrow that the once invincible Liao State has fallen to such a state.

This is the same as the later Manchu Qing Dynasty, when the Qing government watched Japan and Russia fighting on their own soil, but did not dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction, no one dared to stand up and shout: Get out, get out of my country.

Of course, even if you still have some flesh, what's the use of having the courage to shout like this? Others will only treat you as a rooster and a dog barking, and will not take your roar seriously at all;

Only when the whole country continues to improve itself and become truly strong, there is no need for you to protest, let alone you to yell fiercely. Just a gentle stomp on your foot is like stomping off a small piece of mud from your foot. can make others tremble.

*********

In the southern edge of the Tarim Basin in Khotan, it is one of the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army fought with the Tubo people and the Turks here again and again in order to fight for this city.

From the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, the four towns of Anxi were placed, and the four towns were lost many times. In the Wu Zhou period, the general Wang Xiaojie led the army to break through Tubo and recover the four towns of Anxi, and after the Wubiantian sent 24,000 troops to the four towns. Since then, the situation in the four towns of Anxi has stabilized.

After the Anshi Rebellion, most of the garrisons in Anxi, Beiting, Hexi and Longyou were transferred to quell the rebellion, and Tubo took advantage of the situation to occupy Longyou one after another. The Hexi Corridor, the four towns of Anxi and the Tang Ting passage in the Central Plains were interrupted;

However, the Tang army left behind in the four towns still held on to the towns for nearly 30 years before falling under the Tubo army. The blood and tears of countless Han people were stained with these cities. The Han people who fell into the hands of foreign races were even more miserable, and the old and weak were beheaded and left to fend for themselves. The young and strong are slaves.

After hundreds of years, there are basically no Han people in the city, and it has been a month since the 20,000-strong army in the construction of the city seized Khotan, and the people in the city have also been appeased and shown goodwill in every way, but the fanatics who believe in the Heavenly Sect still rebel from time to time, and last night the Song soldiers were slightly negligent, and they were set on fire to a granary. Now the supply of grain and grass for the Song army began to be tight.

The people in the city all believed in Fang Tianjiao. And Fang Tianjiao is more xenophobic, showing favor to these heretics in the cultivation. The people in the city rarely sold their money, and it can be said that Chong Jianzhong only occupied the city of Khotan militarily, but did not really own the city of Khotan, because everyone in the city could be an enemy.

If you are not careful, you will be attacked and destroyed by them, as the saying goes, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, the tiger still has a dozing time, there are enemies hidden everywhere around here, how to prevent this?

This situation gave Chong Jianzhong a headache, and when he came to this point, Chong Jianzhong finally deeply understood Yang Yi's good intentions of taking Buddhism first.

If the belief of the people in the Western Regions cannot be changed, the Great Song Dynasty will occupy the Western Regions militarily, and I am afraid that it will not be able to rule this place.

On a tall building made of stone strips in the north of the city, you can vaguely see several Chinese characters of "Khotan Town X Mansion", although there is a character that is no longer legible, but it is not difficult to determine that this is the Tang Dynasty's Khotan Town Shoufu.

Hundreds of years of vicissitudes, in order to keep these words, there may have been countless Han men fell here, the smell of blood has long dissipated, and now the banner of the Han family is planted on this building again.

Ma Yuan hurriedly stepped into this building, straight into the middle hall, Chong Jianzhong was discussing with several generals about raising grain and grass, Ma Yuan said directly after the roll call: "General Chong, Hassan personally led 40,000 reinforcements, has arrived in Zawa Town. ”

Chong Jianzhong unconsciously frowned, no one thought that the black sweat would be tough, the land east of Khotan had been occupied by the Song army, and at the same time, more than 50,000 black sweat troops were wiped out before and after, and the black sweat still did not bow his head, and Yang Yi's idea of a quick battle seemed to be difficult to achieve.

Now Yang Yitong is leading an army of 100,000 to fight in Liao, which is the top priority, and the energy of the Great Song Dynasty has been invested in the Northern Expedition, and the Western Regions are inevitably a little beyond the reach of the whip.

The support available to the army is extremely limited, and as the war drags on into a protracted war, the army has become extremely short of war materials such as arrows and bullets.

So he couldn't help but ask again: "How many bullets are left?" ”

"Back to the general, there are more than 20,000 rounds, and on average, each soldier is only about ten rounds."

"The flintlock pistol battalion is temporarily rested."

"............. kind of generals, why don't we cross the Wuyu River west with our whole army and fight to the death with Hassan, his total strength is only 50,000, as long as we can cross the river smoothly, we may not be able to break it, if it drags on like this, I am afraid that it will become more and more unfavorable to our army!"

"Wait, General Yao and the additional men and horses sent by various departments are also almost here, and it will not be too late for us to fight Hassan again."

The last time the allied forces of the various departments were lost, this time the construction of the plant ordered the departments to send additional reinforcements, and the departments pushed back and blocked, and the six departments added up to only 10,000 horses;

This is expected in the kind of construction, in his opinion, how much is not important, the key is to have it, now the sergeant has been fighting in a foreign land for a long time, and the material support of the imperial court is small, and the morale is inevitably a little low, as long as there are reinforcements arriving, no matter how much, it can always boost some morale.

A more important point is the material, the loss of more than half of the troops in each department, it is understandable that they are unwilling to send more troops, but they must support the materials, which is the minimum requirement in the construction, who does not support, do not want to share the war dividends in the future.

For this reason, Chong Jianzhong had to resort to threats and inducements, but there was no way, the Ting Dynasty couldn't take care of the Western Regions now, and Chong Jianzhong could only find his own way.

What can be done? In addition to "requisitioning" on the spot, there is only one way to reach out to the ministries. With a strong country as its backing, who would dare not follow? At that time, Ban Dingyuan's thirty-six horsemen did not pacify the Western Regions in the same way.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and I saw a scout soldier striding in and reporting: "General, the Black Khan army is crossing the river, and it must launch a new round of attack." ”

Hassan has just arrived, and he is going to attack the city? Chong Jianzhong immediately got up and said to Ma Yuan and the other generals: "Let's go, let's go to the city and have a look." ”
