Chapter 112: The battle situation is clear, and the Kipchak Khanate is fully conquered
Chapter 112 The battle situation is clear, and the Kipchak Khanate is fully conquered
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another cold and summer has passed, and wars are everywhere in the Western Regions, and the people of all ethnic groups are struggling to make a living. But Xie Wuji didn't take care of so much, and tried to settle the Western Regions in one fell swoop, and then calmly lay out the plan of counterattacking the Central Plains.
For more than a year, Xie Wuji sat in the black city of Segna, while paying attention to the battle situation in the Chagatai Khanate and the northern region of the Kipchak Khanate, and on the other hand, together with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, he reorganized the surrender army of the Kipchak Khanate to supplement his own troops.
In the previous battles of Salan City and Segna Black City, Xie Wuji captured the army of the Kipchak Khanate, totaling more than 60,000 people, if he could not reorganize it as soon as possible, not only would it not be beneficial to his own side at all, but it would even involve his own considerable strength to guard them, and even become a great hidden danger.
Simply, with the joint efforts of Xie Wuji, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, the more than 60,000 troops of the Kipchak Khanate have basically returned to their hearts. At the very least, there will be no defection.
Now, Xie Wuji's army in the black city of Segna has recovered to more than 100,000 people, and it is fully prepared, just waiting for the battle situation in the Chagatai Khanate and the northern region of the Kipchak Khanate to become clear, and then attack the hinterland of the Kipchak Khanate in one fell swoop......
It didn't make Xie Wuji wait too long, and less than a month later, the blue jade in the northern part of the Kipchak Khanate first came with good news: under the conspiracy of Lan Yu, and with the joint efforts of him, Liao Yongan and Liao Yongzhong, they defeated the army of the Kipchak Khanate in one fell swoop, forcing them to withdraw from the northern region of the Kipchak Khanate.
At this point, the crisis in the northern region of the Kipchak Khanate has basically been lifted!
Xu is more than a year, Lan Yu has always been on the passive defensive side, really depressed, immediately left Liao Yongan to sit in the northern region of the Kipchak Khanate, and he and Liao Yongzhong together, led 30,000 troops to continue to pursue the army of the Kipchak Khanate.
The army of the Kipchak Khanate was newly defeated and its morale declined, but it did not dare to turn back to face the battle, so it was chased by Lan Yu and Liao Yongzhong's army all the way and fled in a hurry, leaving behind the bones of countless soldiers again. It was not until they retreated to a fortified city that the decline of the Kipchak Khanate's army was eased.
After a little discussion, Lan Yu and Liao Yongzhong decided to stay and continue to contain the army of the Kipchak Khanate. As for the siege of this city, it was urgent and difficult, and under the strict defense of the army of the Kipchak Khanate, it was indeed not so easy to break through the fortified city, which was more than twice as strong as them.
Hearing such good news, Xie Wuji, who was far away in the Black City of Xigna, was very happy, and sent a letter to Lan Yu and Liao Yongzhong to "act on the fly and act cheaply".
However, although the crisis in the northern region of the Kipchak Khanate had been contacted, Xie Wuji was not in a hurry to raise troops to attack the hinterland of the Kipchak Khanate. He is still waiting, waiting for the war situation in the Chagatai Khanate to stabilize, so that he will no longer have any worries, and then go all out to fight for a decisive victory.
In this way, after another half a year, Xie Wuji finally waited for the good news that he had been waiting for for nearly two years......
Deng Youde, Feng Guoyong and Feng Guosheng cooperated tacitly, and finally joined forces to force the army of the Ilkhanate out of the territory of the Chagatai Khanate, and had firmly held the border, so that the army of the Ilkhanate could no longer easily cross the thunder pond by half a step.
In this nearly two-year war, Deng Youde needless to say, the two brothers Feng Guoyong and Feng Guosheng also shined, breaking the army of the Ilkhanate several times and saving the war from danger. Now, together with Liao Yongan and Liao Yongzhong, the two of them are among the core power layers of Xie Wuji's military system.
When the time came, Xie Wuji would not hesitate any longer, and launched a comprehensive attack on the Kipchak Khanate with a total of more than 100,000 troops from the three routes......
The first army, led by Xie Wuji himself, with Liu Ji as the military division, commanded an army of 30,000, and penetrated directly into the hinterland of the Kipchak Khanate from the front, threatening its capital Batu Sarai. Zhuang Zheng and other five flag bearers, Zhang Cuishan and his wife, and Hu Qingniu and his wife were all in the army.
The Second Route Army, with Chang Yuchun as its commander, commanded an army of 20,000 and captured the eastern part of the Kipchak Khanate. The eastern region is mostly pastures, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses.
The Third Route Army, with Xu Da as the commander, commanded 40,000 troops and captured the western part of the Kipchak Khanate. The western region is adjacent to the Ilkhanate, and Xu Da has the most soldiers and horses. But even so, 40,000 soldiers and horses are still somewhat dwarfed. I only hope that Lan Yu and Liao Yongzhong can make achievements as soon as possible and lead the army to help.
Xie Wuji's three-way army marched together, and for a while, the territory of the Kipchak Khanate was full of wolf smoke, and the whole country was in a state of panic......
Half a year later, Lan Yu and Liao Yongzhong received good news again, and Lan Yu successfully lured out the army of the Kipchak Khanate in the city and firmly contained it in the wilderness, buying Liao Yongzhong enough time to capture the city in one fell swoop.
The army of the Kipchak Khanate, which was in retreat, was later attacked by Lan Yu and Liao Yongzhong, and suffered heavy losses, and finally escaped more than 10,000 people.
Subsequently, Lan Yu and Liao Yongzhong took a short rest and recuperated, and then led their troops into the battlefield in the western region of the Kipchak Khanate to respond to Xu Da's army.
Speaking of which, since Xie Wuji's three-way army set out, Xu Da's army has made the slowest progress, and it has only occupied a not-so-large city-state in the western part of the Kipchak Khanate, which can be regarded as barely opening a gap.
This is also because the western part of the Kipchak Khanate is adjacent to the Ilkhanate, and before Xie Wuji entered the Chagatai Khanate, there were constant frictions on the border between the two countries, which caused the people here to be particularly strong. In addition, Xu Da had to be on guard against the sudden sneak attack of the Ilkhanate at all times, and he had to act cautiously, which made progress so slowly.
However, it is believed that with the support and assistance of Lan Yu and Liao Yongzhong's army, the war situation in the western part of the Kipchak Khanate will definitely improve.
In comparison, the progress of the Chang Yuchun army is the fastest and the most surprising. In just over half a year, Chang Yuchun's army has taken nearly one-fifth of the eastern region of the Kipchak Khanate.
Perhaps because of the injury and withdrawal during the invasion of the northern part of the Kipchak Khanate, Chang Yuchun has always held back a force in his heart, and now he is really like a tiger returning to the mountains and forests, showing his domineering and invincible posture as the king of the forest, and the army is everywhere he passes.
As for Xie Wuji's army, he adopted a steady and steady strategy, not in a hurry to gain or lose one city or one place, and approached Batu Sarai, the capital of the Kipchak Khanate, step by step.
At this time, the Kipchak Khanate, due to the previous defeats, suffered serious losses in troops, and in the face of Xie Wuji's three routes and three armies, it was already unable to take care of the beginning and the end, and was no longer able to take the initiative to send troops to meet it, so it could only passively hold on to each city-state......
