Chapter 1181: Uzbek Macho Man
Shi Wansui commanded 10,000 cavalry and defeated the Indian princes on the periphery, and the rest of the princes retreated one after another under the orders of Timur.
The battle was full of twists and turns, and Li Mu, Lian Po, and Non Qinling, who were organizing a retreat, saw that the Mobei army was coming to help, and they turned back to counterattack, and the army that oppressed Timur retreated!
Timur's face was not very good-looking, and the Mobei army crossed the Red Desert and joined the Monan army and the Tubo army marching along the edge of the Tien Shan Mountains and the Pamir Plateau, and the army reached 400,000.
Timur's million-strong army suffered two or three hundred thousand casualties in the two-day battle.
Even though the losses were basically the soldiers and horses of the Indian princes, the morale of Timur's army declined due to the change in attack and defense.
After Shi Wansui's cavalry arrived, the cavalry of Han Baohu and He Ruobi also arrived one after another, and Timur mobilized 300,000 troops to resist the Mobei army and fought with the three generals of the Sui Dynasty.
Timur's huge army was flanked from three sides, and his morale fell faster, and he had to retreat dozens of miles.
Li Mu and Lian Po smoothly converged with the three generals of the Sui Dynasty.
"It's good to arrive in time, otherwise it would have been delayed."
Xu Shu appeared on a war horse.
He invited the Mobei Army to advance eastward in time and join the Monan Army, which was regarded as relieving the crisis of the Monan Army facing Timur.
"This battle is too tragic......
Prince Yan took Di Qing and Fan Zhongyan to the Pamir battlefield, and found that the ground was full of wolf smoke, the earth fortress was destroyed, the wooden fence turned into black charcoal, and the total number of casualties on both sides exceeded 300,000, which can be seen to be tragic.
In contrast, the progress of the Mobei Army can be described as smooth.
"Ask Huo An, who attacked the Great Wan Kingdom, to join forces, if he takes the Great Wan Kingdom, then come and join us and take Samarkand."
Li Mu originally wanted to retreat, but after receiving reinforcements, he gathered the army of the Western Regions Protectorate, intending to join forces to capture Samarkand, the royal city of Khorezm.
Samarkand was an extremely important city in the Transoxiana region, where Timur's army was assembled, so Li Mu called on as many troops as possible to take Khwarazm and control the entire Transoxiana region.
"I don't know if the army of the Western Regions has captured the Great Wan Kingdom."
The battle in the western part of the Pamir Plateau was full of corpses, and on the battlefield of Dawan Kingdom, the poor Dawan Kingdom was once again affected by the flames of war, and it is no longer clear how many times Dawan Kingdom faced annihilation.
The capital of the Western Regions, Huhuo'an, and the Uzbek Khan Sibani fought in Dawan.
Huo An successively captured seven cities in Dawan Kingdom, and Xibani recaptured three more, and the troops ransacked, and 200,000 civilians of Dawan Kingdom were killed, more than the Dawan servant army that died directly on the battlefield.
Unlike the legions of the Great Xia Dynasty, the steppe heroes did not pay much attention to the rules.
The savannah believes in the law of the jungle.
Chu Tian subdued various tribes, and there were not many nomadic tribes who dared to object.
Shaybani relied on looting to maintain the morale of the army.
Shaybani, the Uzbek Khan, a macho man in the Transoxiana region, claimed to be a descendant of the Jochi branch of the Golden Family, defeated Timur's descendant Babur, destroyed the Timurid Empire, and opposed the King of Kings of Persia, who was later defeated by the King of Kings and eventually killed.
Shaybani once dominated the central part of the river, and he was also a reckless hero.
Hoan faced the Sybani recruited by Ogedei.
Shaybani's fighting style was brave and known for his bravery and skill, and he had Uzbek heavy cavalry unique to the Transoxiana region under his command.
The Central Asian battlefield was like a fish in water for the heroes born in the river regions such as Sulu, Shaybani, and Timur.
Under the attack of the mad dog-like Shaybani, Huo An actually suffered a lot of losses.
“……”
Huo An counted the losses, a little depressed, the Western Regions Protectorate had 400,000 soldiers and horses, of which 200,000 guarded Ili and Luntai, Huo An led 200,000 soldiers and horses to invade the Dawan Kingdom.
In a recent battle, Huo An had advanced to Guishan City, the royal city of Dawan Kingdom, and the imperial fierce general Xibani asked the deputy general to fight with Huo An, and then personally led the Uzbek heavy cavalry down the mountain, and the pigs advanced suddenly, resulting in 20,000 casualties and casualties of the army of the Western Regions Protectorate, and was forced to abandon the plan to attack Guishan City and retreat to a nearby small city to rest.
Huo An has ruled the Dawan Kingdom twice, and he still has some prestige in the Dawan Kingdom.
Although Huo An's support for the Dawan Kingdom King Wu Cai was killed, another group of Dawan nobles heard that Huo An had arrived, and they all took refuge in Huo An's account to serve Huo An.
"Please defeat Shaybani as soon as possible. If Shaybani is allowed to rule the Dawan Kingdom again, I am afraid that the population of the Dawan Kingdom will be less than one million. ”
"We are counting on Lord Dadu for everything!"
A group of nobles of the Dawan Kingdom who had taken refuge in the Protectorate of the Western Regions complained to Huo An about the various rules of the Dawan Kingdom in the hope that the Dawan Kingdom could end the war as soon as possible.
The population of Dawan Kingdom, from three million in the first year of the lord, to the present, only more than one million remains, and most of them were affected by the war and died.
"Shaybani is a brave general, not just a reckless general, his cavalry combat effectiveness is not low, if there is Huo Quai, it would be good to compete with him."
Huo Quai, the first general under Huo An, was asked to leave by Chutian, and was suddenly beaten by the Uzbek macho Xibani pig in Dawan Kingdom, but he was depressed.
A nobleman of the Dawan Kingdom said: "Xibani is indeed fierce, our Dawan Kingdom has an uprising in recent years, and tens of thousands of people were defeated by him with thousands of cavalry, and all of them were killed.
Huo An looked at Pang Tong, who was temporarily serving as the military advisor of the Western Regions Protectorate, this was the advisor he asked Chu Tian to come.
So far, the Protectorate of the Western Regions has not had a pure strategist.
Pang Tong is known as the phoenix, and although his appearance is a little strange, Huo An doesn't care.
"Strategist, Shaybani is like a mad dog, if you are not careful, you will be defeated, what should I do?"
Pang Tong pondered for a long time, and he also participated in the recent battle of Guishan City, and Shaybani's soldiers were seen in his eyes: "Shaybani is brave and reckless with his soldiers, and he can lure Shaybani to attack and then defeat him." ”
"A trick to lure the enemy?"
Huo An thought for a while, to deal with this kind of fierce general, the strategy of luring the enemy is often tried and tested: "But to lure the enemy, it is best to find a suitable terrain." ”
A group of military generals from the Western Regions Protectorate tried to find a piece of terrain on the map of the Great Wan Kingdom to fight against Shaybani.
"Behind the mountains here, there is a plain behind the mountains, which can lead Shaybani to this place and defeat him in a battle."
Pang Tong finally found a flat land that was okay.
Huo An looked at the generals: "Which of you can go and lure Shaybani to attack?" ”
Chen Tang, the general of the Western Regions Protectorate, said: "The last general is invited to fight!" ”
"Yes."
Huo An knew that Chen Tang had characteristics similar to "long drive", and he was considered a military general in half of the marching department, so he asked Chen Tang to lure the enemy so that he would not be caught up by Xi Banni in advance.
"Withdraw from this city tomorrow and make a move to withdraw troops."
Hoan completed the deployment against the Uzbek Khan.
