Chapter 330: The General's Thoughts (I)
The hussar general, in the course of his confrontation with me, told me a story.
Thirteen years ago, the imperial court sent an army of 100,000 to the Western Regions, and the original target was the Maasai tribe, because of the horses of that year
The Sai tribe became increasingly powerful in the Western Regions, and did not pay tribute for several years, which was obviously a contempt for the Central Plains, and the Empress Dowager could not bear it
Bearably, he directly sent the hussar general (that year) and the chariot general Jiang Juren, who had many expeditions to the Western Regions
(now the Hussar General), and the elite legion in his hands, the Agni Battalion.
The Queen Mother heard that there was a relatively small tribe next to the Maasai tribe, called the Nine Heavens tribe, and they did not cooperate with any tribe
Union, and pay tribute every year, this is a very responsible tribe, the reason why it was noticed by the queen mother, is also because of this
Among the Nine Heavens Tribe, there is an ancient treasure - the Nine Heavens Glass Cup.
So the Queen Mother gave an order to bring back the Nine Heavens Glass Jar on this trip.
In this expedition, two of the highest generals of the imperial court, the hussar general and the chariot cavalry general, were dispatched, and they were even more in their hands
's Red Flame Army and the Flame Battalion were all terrifying existences back then. A total of 100,000 elites.
Who knew that on the way to the Western Regions, there was bad weather, wind and snow, and the road was muddy and difficult
The journey took an extra half a month, and the food had been depleted, and now it had reached the top of the hill near the Maasai tribe
If you don't attack again, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future, so the two generals decided to adopt surprise tactics.
The purpose is to take it down in one fell swoop.
It was late at night, and the army was stationed under a hill outside the Maasai tribe, sheltered by the mountain
If you want to break through this Maasai tribe, the grain and grass in it will naturally belong to them, if you can't break through, then the soldiers are afraid that they will not have it
In the power of war. If this is not successful, it will be benevolent.
However, 100,000 people entered the Western Regions, how could such a big movement not be known? The Maasai tribe is from the Western Regions
The king, well-informed, has long known that the imperial court has sent 100,000 elite soldiers, how dare they underestimate it?
Among the Maasai tribes, heavy troops were sent overnight to control the tribal walls, which was the only way to enter the tribe, west
The people of the domain are good at mounted archery, and in the fight, mounted archery often does not have an advantage, so their archers are all stationed in the city
On the wall, I plan to wait for the army to arrive, and give them a dismount first.
Both sides could no longer sit still, one side had to attack in advance because of the problem of running out of ammunition and food, and the other side was facing the department
Luo's life and death, don't dare to be sloppy, Mars collides with the earth, Guan Gong fights Qin Qiong, just outside this city gate, the two armies are fighting
It's officially started.
The imperial court has already prepared siege props on its side, whether it is a stake or a train, everything is available, I thought it would come
They were taken by surprise and unprepared, but when the army approached, countless fires lit up on the city walls.
"Whoosh"
Countless fiery bows and arrows struck at the army, and on the flame at the tip, I don't know what was erased
West, after shooting into the human body, there will be an explosion of flames, and their siege train has not yet ignited, so they are led by them first
exploded, causing the entire army to fall into a sea of fire, the army was already hungry, and this time it was even more combat-powered, in order to reduce losses,
The two generals immediately made a decision and retreated directly, and in this first confrontation, the imperial court ended in a fiasco.
Fortunately, the losses were not serious, but the forward troops lost 3,000 people, which was not much among the 100,000 troops, but this
There is really no food on the side, and the food consumed by this 100,000 army is not trivial
The Maasai tribe, even if they go back to the court, can't go back, so they can only move forward at the moment, not retreat.
The soldiers are starting to go hungry, and they can only drink thin porridge every day, and they have no physical strength, these 100,000
The combat effectiveness of the army is not as good as an elite, and the defeat of the last confrontation has led to a lack of confidence in everyone, two
The general pondered that if he attacked rashly, it would only be the same as last time, so he still needed to think long-term.
At the moment, the most important thing is to solve the crisis of food shortage.
In the end, the two generals decided to turn to the Nine Heavens tribe around the Maasai tribe for help, although they still had a mission, just
It is to ask for the Nine Heavens Glass Cup, but the most important thing is the side of the Maasai tribe, otherwise there is no way to go back to the business.
The Nine Heavens Tribe is much weaker than the Maasai tribe, and there are no troops in the tribe, so the two generals can be wiped out directly
This small tribe snatched the food in it, but when it thought that there was no need to make extraneous branches, for fear that something would change, it decided to ask for it first
If you want food, if you don't give it, you are taking strong measures.
The patriarch of the Nine Heavens Tribe is responsible for his duties and has no quarrel with the world, and this Nine Heavens Tribe is even more like a paradise, which makes people
Fascinated, and the task of going to the Nine Heavens Tribe to ask for food and grass was handed over to the current hussar general, the chariot general of the year
Army, Jiang Juren.
Jiang Juren was warmly entertained, the old patriarch was very hospitable, and when he heard that he had come to borrow grain and grass, the old patriarch replied
Yes, Jiang Juren was full of joy, and did not ask for the Nine Heavens Glass Cup for a while.
There is not much food and herbs for such a small tribe, and all of them are only enough for his 100,000 army to eat for three days, but this
There is no way to do it, after all, the tribe is so big, and people are doing their best to help, and they have done their best.
So the rations for these three days made the two generals come up with a strange trick to crack the Maasai tribe.
A trick to repair the plank road secretly crossing Chencang, the use of it is incisive, with the illusion of digging tunnels, 100,000 troops are dispatched
An army of 10,000 began to dig tunnels in front of the walls of the Maasai tribe in the middle of the night, which naturally could not be concealed from the Maasai tribe
The eyes of the fallen, thinking that the imperial court were planning to enter the city through the tunnel, immediately messed up and began to be in the city wall
Next, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to press the boulder on it, just to make it lonely to dig there until the end, if you dig
The tunnel is too big, and this boulder can fall and kill them, which seems to have the best of both worlds.
However, an army of more than 10,000 people had already made a detour through the back city of the Maasai tribe.
There is only one small gate here, and the guards are not very tight, if you let 100,000 troops enter through this small gate one by one, it is estimated
It will also take a few hours.
Now all the minds of the Maasai tribe are concentrated on the tunnel ahead, who knows that the people of the court are just making a show and digging
There's no need to dig deep when there's a big hole.
10,000 soldiers broke through from the back city, and the rear line was suddenly broken, and the Maasai tribe realized that the enemy had fallen for it, and immediately became aware of it
immediately defended to the rear, but at this moment, these 10,000 elites with siege vehicles directly smashed open the front door. And another
The 80,000 troops outside have been waiting in the rear for a long time.
Nearly 90,000 troops poured in from the front gate, the front gate was large, many, and the entire tribe was full of Red Flame Army and Agni Battalion
of the shadows.
The Maasai tribe has a lot of strange weapons, and there are advanced explosives, and this battle is very miserable
Lie, but in the end, the court still won the victory, and did not give the Maasai tribe a chance to surrender, and became a ministry
fell, and they were all slaughtered. And the Red Flame Army and the Agni Battalion also suffered heavy losses, with only 30,000 people left, and the two major generals who were in pain were true
It's like grinding meat.
Fortunately, the final victory was won, and the remaining 30,000 troops rested among the Maasai tribes for three days.
For these three days they ate well, drank well, and had plenty of food.
The two generals also remembered another thing, that is, about the Nine Heavens Glass Cup.
The hussar general proposed to take the army directly and rob it if he didn't give it, but the chariot general did not recommend it, because it was in the pass
At the critical moment, it was the Nine Heavens tribe that contributed all the food, so that the 100,000 army could survive the three days, this
The victory of the battle can also be regarded as the credit of the Nine Heavens Tribe.
So the two of them took it together, and now they took out the grain from the Maasai tribe and returned it to the tribe of the Nine Heavens.
Then I asked about this Nine Heavens Glass Jar on the temptation, my Great Central Plains region, they all salute first and then soldiers, right?
