The Nami River runs basically east-west, from the source of the Boxi Mountain, the river flows into the Wuhu River in its heyday, and disappears into the desert downstream during the semi-dry period. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network

However, the abundance of water in the middle reaches of the river, the mountains to the north to protect it from the cold winds from the far north, and the extremely fertile soil of the local area, have contributed to the greatest prosperity in the middle of the river. Not to mention the small cities, there are five large cities in the Nami River Valley, which from east to west are: Nami, Samarkand, Kushan, Mulu and Bukhara. Bukhara is already located in the lower reaches of the Nami River.

_______o (Mulu) _____________________o (Bisheng City) ____o (Tang Army)-

(Nami River) -

___o (Bukhara) ___o (Kushan) _ Samarkand ) OO (Bohid Nami)

Located in the easternmost part of the city of Nami and the city of Samarkand, the distance is relatively close, and both are located in the south of the Nami River, the two cities echo each other, but the city of Nami is a distribution center for crops and commerce, there are many civilian facilities and few military facilities, Satuk believes that it is impossible to withstand the attack of the Tang cavalry, so he looted the entire city of Nami, and retreated to Samarkand in the west, leaving only the city of Bohid belonging to Nami - this is a small city, and it is the city with the most complete military facilities in the entire Nami state. Moreover, the distance from Samarkand is approaching, so Satuk not only retains but also increases it, making it a bridgehead and a corner with Samarkand.

(No, the picture, the one above is a simple diagram made out of ord, the dotted line represents the Nami River, o is the location of the city, I hope not to break the line after going out, if the line is broken, it will be bad.) ）

Most of the cities along the Nami River are in Henan, and only Mulu City is located in Hebei among the five major cities, this is because there is a lot of sand and gravel in Hebei and a lot of soil in Henan, but the Tang army must come from the northeast of the Nami River Basin when it enters the Hezhong region. And if Hebei was not fortified, the cavalry of the Tang army could patrol the river and go down the river at the same time, attack Mulu City, cut off Satuk's logistics and even threaten Bukhara - this is not allowed by Satuk.

Therefore, Satuk added a castle in Hebei Province and turned it into a new city with all military facilities and no civilian facilities, and named it Bisheng City.

Satuk ordered Hushagar to defend the city of Bohid, and ordered Ibar to defend the city of Bisheng and take charge of the river defense, while Ishtar was in charge of the mobile field battle outside the city, and Satuq himself sat in Samarkand, and the three cities were integrated to resist the Tang army. The most elite area of the Nami River valley is to the west of these three fortified cities, which is a grain producing area that can feed millions of people, among them, Bukhara is the former capital of the Samanid Dynasty, and the power of the old dynasty is intertwined and cannot be cleared in a short time, in order to avoid trouble, Satuq moved the center of his rule to another large city, Kushan, and ordered his eldest son, Musa, who has become an adult, to take charge.

The above is the general arrangement of Satuk, it is obvious that Satuk also uses the strategy of external reality and internal emptiness, with the three cities in the east as the line of defense, as long as this line of defense is held, it can keep the battle undefeated. Satuk is at home, the Tang army is away, as long as the Tang army withdraws, Satuk wins

At this time, Zhang Mai's threat to the Celestial World has shaken to Baghdad, Satuk is not a good sign for the Celestial Sect countries, but Zhang Mai's threat is obviously greater, all the Celestial Sect countries are unwilling to see Satuk's defeat, because if Zhang Mai wins, no one knows where his troops will stop, and even if Satuk wins, all the Celestial countries think that he is powerless to go west, and he can only go east if he wants to expand, so the warlords and chiefs in various places are either openly ganged or secretly helped, and there are countless Heavenly Sect believers from the west, Join the ranks of the "Resistance to the Tang Dynasty". And Satuk himself already planned to break the country and defend himself against the enemy, and at any cost, even if the entire river turned into a piece of terracotta, he would drag the Tang army into hell

In the West, this is a war against the Tang Dynasty carried out by the Tianfang World to support the Hui people, and in the East, this is a war to recover the land carried out by the entire Tiance and the Tang Dynasty, the core of the war is in the three cities of Sabobi, and the network transportation of manpower and material resources stretches for 20,000 miles from east to west

The troubadours of Asia Minor, the monks of Shule in Liangzhou, are full of omissions when they talk about this great battle, and the war in the poems is colder than iron and more fierce than fire, but at the beginning of the battle, the soldiers at the center of the war did not feel this way.

Although the Tang army had approached Samarkand, all the generals and soldiers under the command of Guo Luo felt as if they were still on a normal march.

Satuk personally led a group of light cavalry, approaching before the Tang army's position was unstable, holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe the Tang army's movements, and when he came back, he laughed at Su Lai, Su Lai saw him so happy, and asked him what was wrong, Satuk said: "Our army will win this battle, even if Zhang Mai doesn't leave his head here, at least his martial arts will end here."

Shuibal's face was silent, but his heart was faintly moving, and he secretly wondered how he seemed to have heard this sentence before.

Surai asked Satuq again: "Why is the Great Khan so sure?" ”

Satuk said: "Look at Guo Luo's marching movements, he must attack the city first in this battle."

Ishtar said, "That's the trap we set."

"Yes," Satuk said with a smile, "although we are not afraid of him if he comes to attack Samarkand, but if he attacks the victorious city, it will fall into the palm of our hands."

Su Lai smiled slightly, and said: "After all, Guo Luo has selfish intentions, such as today's army is tens of thousands of miles from east to west, Zhang Mai may still covet the Central Plains in the east, even if this river is defeated, it is impossible to rule according to the county system of the Central Plains, and most of them will be divided in the future." If you want to divide the seal, you have to seal Guo Luo. Guo Luo is working hard now, and he regards Samarkand as his own territory, so we don't hesitate to cherish the land, but Guo Luo has selfish thoughts, this battle will be as expected by the Great Khan, and our army will win."

When Shuibar heard this, he also said yes, and the generals cheered even more

"When we get here, we will hit the bottom, but Zhang Mai will touch the top" Satuk pulled out his scimitar and pointed to the east and said: "Zhang Mai, you will die here"

The Tang army entered the basin from the northeast of the Nami River, and the army slowly moved to the northeast of the Nami River, where the land, although fertile, was turned into barren land by Satuk's strategy of clearing the wilderness.

After repeated discussions, the core leadership decided to take the city of victory as the main point of attack, and sent cavalry into Henan to harass the city of Bohid and the suburbs of Samarkand.

Guo Luo's reason is this: "As soon as the city of victory is taken, there will be no stronghold on the north bank of the entire Nami River that can resist our soldiers and horses, we can use most of the troops to contain Samarkand, and use elite troops to break into the downstream, capture Mulu City, and cut off the logistics of Satuk, then Samarkand will definitely panic, and the famous city of the ages can go down without a fight"

There is another consideration that Guo Luo did not say, that is, Samarkand, as the largest city in the Hanzhong region, if it can be captured in a relatively complete way, it will be greatly beneficial for the Tang army to rule the Hanzhong region in the future.

However, Guo Wei has concerns, thinking that the terrain of Hebei is dangerous, although the city of victory is small, but the north is surrounded by mountains, the south is by the river, the west city gate is the port gate, the river obliquely passes outside the city gate, the attack surface is extremely narrow, the east city wall is towering, and it is all made of stones, three layers inside and outside, thick as a mountain base, towering into the clouds, Satuk is well prepared and sufficient, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack.

"So, is Deputy Governor Guo against first north and then south?"

After the battle of crossing the river, Zhang Mai appointed Guo Wei as the deputy governor, so Ma Jirong called him so.

But Guo Wei shook his head and said: "I also agree with General Guo Luo's proposition, but this battle cannot be limited in time." In front of the fortified city, it is not surprising that it will be attacked for three years and five years without going down. If you blindly seek speed, you will make a big mess."

As soon as Zhang Mai heard "three years and five years without going down", his brows furrowed, the Tang Army had never fought such a long war so far

However, in the history of warfare, siege warfare has never been calculated in days, but in months, in the case of the defender's full preparation, it is considered smooth to fight for a few months to capture the fortified city, it is normal to fight for more than ten months to conquer, and it is common to fight for a few years without defeating it

Guo Luo said: "When you get here, you naturally know that it is not easy to fight, although the deputy governor plans to be, no matter what the battle situation is, I will definitely support you to the end."

Guo Luo immediately handed over to him, including the cavalry infantry fortifications, including the 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Minfu Hu cavalry, and let him attack the main one. He also promised to continue to increase the number of troops and horses as the war progressed.

The number of men and horses entering the Hezhong region this time may reach 300,000, and if the conquest and expulsion of the locals are added, the number may reach 500,000 or even more in the later period, but it is impossible for such a large number of soldiers and horses to arrive at the same time, and only 20,000 soldiers and 10,000 people and 10,000 Hu cavalry arrived in the Nami River valley at this time, and the others are still on the march.

After the military meeting, Zhang Mai patted Guo Wei on the back and said: "We haven't attacked cities before, but basically we have won by surprise, and this is the first time that we can rely on national strength to shake a strong city head-on." Although the battle in Beiting was fierce, it was a nomadic area, and we were actually defending as an attack, so the situation was different from here. Hezhong is a country founded on commerce and agriculture, and the city defense system has existed since ancient times, even if it is not as good as the Central Plains, but it is also the world's first-class level. So this attack will be completely different from the past, we will not only win, but also show us what we are capable of."

Guo Wei said: "Since ancient times, attacking the city is the bottom, and now we have to come to this point, although it is not the original intention, but there is nothing to be done." Siege warfare can be carried out by strength, but the marshal's director is strategizing and decisive, and he is coercing for thousands of miles, and these cannot be abandoned because of the increase in the strength of our army. ”

Zhang Mai laughed and said, "Are you still building a strange thing?" ”

Guo Wei said: "The soldiers are also treacherous. Qi is complementary to each other, and it is the right way. But it's not a bad idea to use soldiers at all. On the contrary, it is completely correct to use troops, which is a move that will bring disaster to the country and the people."

Zhang Mai nodded and said, "I know what you mean." ”

In late September of the fourth year of Tiance, Inner 6 had already cooled, and the first battle of the offensive and defensive battle of Samarkand began.

Guo Wei boldly promoted General Hu and appointed a brave Persian warrior who had shown himself in the battle of crossing the river, Kalsi, and led a thousand cavalry to break into the south of the Nami River, although the Tang army built a lot of rafts when crossing the Yaozhi River, there was no waterway to reach the Yaozhi River here, so those rafts were left there, and they could not be brought at all.

When the army gradually arrived, Guo Luo cut a lot of timber at Bosi Mountain, made a raft, and went down the Nami River, and built a pontoon bridge one hundred and twenty miles from the city of Nami. The Tang army crossed the pontoon bridge with two infantry armies, established a stronghold in Henan, and swept over with the cavalry

The number of cavalry reached 7,000 men, all of them were Huma, and when Guo Wei gave them the order: "Anyone who surrenders along the way, bring it over, and those who do not surrender will be treated as enemies"

"The Tang army actually attacked Henan first" Hushagar's heart was slightly shocked after receiving the news,

Kalsi's thousand-man squad was the first of the seven thousand Huma, and they rushed into Nami, which was one of the most important grain producing areas in the middle of the river, but at this moment they were all searched into Samarkand by Satuq, a huge Nami state, which was hundreds of miles away without chickens and dogs barking

Seven thousand men rushed into the city, and the city seemed to be undefended, and the seven thousand men searched everywhere, but they found nothing, only some old and sick people who could not travel far and lay in some remote houses waiting to die.

Kalsi was about to return with his men and horses when he arrived at the city gate, when suddenly fireworks broke out and the sound of killing shook the sky

"It's not good, it's in ambush"

Kalsi hurriedly rode his horse to rush out, but a rocket shot at him, and the whole city burned instantly, and all the way out was blocked by smoke and fire

"Oil Oil"

"Black Fire Water, Black Fire Water"

The Tang army was led by cavalry, and there were 1,000 infantry in the rear, and suddenly he saw that Nami was on fire, and the lieutenant wanted to go to the rescue, but the deputy lieutenant stopped him, shouting: "If you can't go to the enemy's army, there must be an ambush outside the city, and if you go now, you will only be sent to death in vain."

Du Wei said: "The first battle broke the sharpness, and we will all die when we go back"

The deputy lieutenant said: "It's better to break the sharpness than to annihilate the whole army, if we move forward to reinforce, if we are ambushed and the soldiers and horses across the river retreat, won't the blow to the Chinese army be even greater at that time?" The people trapped in front of them are the Persian Hu Division, and if they are damaged, the confidence of the government soldiers system will not be shaken, but if something happens to us, the Chinese army and government soldiers will be affected. ”

The lieutenant hesitated for a long time, and finally listened to the advice of the deputy lieutenant, and retreated while holding the pontoon bridge, and at the same time reported to the Chinese army.

In this battle, the Tang army suffered heavy casualties, and only more than 3,000 people escaped from the 7,000 Hu Division, although they were all Persian Hu Divisions, but they were frustrated before the start of the battle, and their morale was inevitably hit. Hehe, he probably wanted to hint that I was going to go back to square one. However, he used a huge secret city to trap my 4,000 peripheral soldiers and horses, and he didn't calculate this account well."
