Ha Ming asked, "What is the current situation?" ”

Hu Lin took out the map and said: "The soldiers and horses of the Gan Jiaslan have arrived under the city of Hami, according to the news of the scouts, the approximate strength is 20,000, however, there is a team of nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, it seems that they have just been assembled, and they are marching east from the Junggar Department. ”

Before Ha Ming left for Beihai, Zhu Qizhen had already told him the general route of the march, the Western Route Army Chen Mao attacked Hami, the Eastern Route Army originated from Liaodong to face the Tatars, and the main force of the Chinese army directly faced Warat at Yumuchuan.

The mission of Beihaiwei is to attack the rear of Warat, and go all the way south from Beihai, and there are no chickens and dogs left behind.

The Marquis of Yongning is strong and strong, and there is a city wall to rely on, so there will be no danger for the time being, as for the lack of distress information, it may be that the route has been blocked.

As for what I just mentioned, the soldiers and horses in the west of Hami City are very intriguing......

According to Qiqike's confession, the frontal battlefield of Warat was losing and retreating, and he had no choice but to recruit troops from various tribes for the second time, and most of the recruits were fourteen or fifteen-year-old baby soldiers, or old men over fifty years old.

Although these people have limited combat effectiveness, they are the last hope of Warat, and Beihaiwei is looking for this group of people all the way south.

The more Ha Ming thought about it, the more excited he became, no wonder he barely encountered any resistance along the way, it turned out that the last soldiers and horses of Dzungaria were concentrated in Hami!

This is even better, as long as these two groups of men and horses are defeated, not only will the siege of Hami be lifted, but the entire Western Regions will become the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Lin looked at Ha Ming and grinned, and couldn't help but ask, "That...... Commander of Kazakhstan? ”

"Huh?"

"What's going on in Beihaiwei, I haven't heard of it!"

Ha Ming did not hide it, and told the cause and effect of the establishment of Beihaiwei by the imperial court, and told his experience along the way in detail.

Hu Lin nodded again and again when he listened, his eyes full of admiration.

After Ha Ming said this, he asked again: "With 5,000 cavalry below, how many men and horses are there in Suzhou Guard?" ”

"Eight thousand!"

"How many people does the Marquis of Yongning have?"

"Twenty thousand!"

Ha Ming picked up the map and looked at the location of Hami City, there was a circle on the east and west sides, representing two teams of people.

"Where are we?"

"Here!" Hu Lin nodded on the map and said, "It's very close to the location of Gathlan. ”

"At this distance, if the cavalry moves forward at full speed, it will take three days at most."

"The current situation is more serious, and we have to take into account the strength of the troops in the west of the city."

But seeing Ha Ming shook his head with a smile, he said, "The 30,000 horses are here to make up the numbers, don't pay attention to them!" ”

Hu Lin had a question mark on his face and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The front line of Wara was defeated and retreated by the emperor, and I had to return to the grassland to recruit troops for the second time, but the young and strong on the grassland had already gone to the battlefield, and the rest were old, young, sick and disabled, and it seemed that there were many people, but in fact there was no combat effectiveness!"

Hu Lin's eyes lit up and said, "In that case, we only need to concentrate our forces to attack Kathlan?" ”

"Not bad!"

Ha Ming nodded and continued: "Yongning Hou has 20,000 people, you have 8,000 here, I have 5,000 here, we have the advantage in terms of troops, and besides, there is no city to rely on, supply is a problem, the more it drags on, the greater the disadvantage, I estimate that they may have begun to attack the city." ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

Hu Lin laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be beautiful for us to poke him in the eye from the rear while we were attacking the city?" ”

…………

Outside the city of Hami, shouts of killing soared to the sky.

At the beginning, he took 20,000 main troops to support Yexian, but just halfway through, news came that his hometown had been stolen.

Although they all belong to Warat, the four major departments are not monolithic, especially Hami City under the Dzungar subordinates, relying on the advantage of geographical status, can completely break away from Warat and become a family of its own, so when Gangaslan learned that his hometown had fallen, he didn't think about it, and directly ordered to return the same way.

As for the first, forget it, why don't you love it!

However, when Gathlan ordered the siege of the city, the problem arose again.

This unit was supposed to go to support the front line, and did not set out with large siege equipment.

In desperation, he had to cut down trees on the spot, build ladders, and send people to attack.

However, he didn't know that the defender of the city was Chen Mao, the second capable of Yongning Hou in the Ming Dynasty.

This person is very experienced, and this kind of deadly offensive of the Warats, in his opinion, is simply a send-off.

After three days of attack, but without any results, the Warats were about to gather their troops and rest for a while, when a sack of white rice was thrown down from the city, and a letter was tied to it.

When opened, there is only one sentence on it.

"Didn't you eat?"

Gathlan was almost angry, and immediately gathered his troops and horses to continue the attack.

Chen Mao stood on the city wall with a smile, calmly commanding.

Watching the Warats under the city build a ladder and then rush up lifelessly, they almost laughed out loud.

It only takes a few more days for him, and when the Warats are exhausted, they will immediately go out of the city and counterattack, and they will be able to defeat them.

It's a pity that they still have to defend the city, and it is not advisable to pursue them too far, these people flee to the grassland, which will always be a hidden danger in the future.

Yavin

Day 4, Day 5......

His eyes were blood-red, and he looked at Hami City, which was close at a short time, and he couldn't go any further.

These days, the consumption of his own soldiers and horses is extremely serious, and if it goes on like this......

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but now, was there still a choice?

Do you want to give up Hami and go to support first?

This has been delayed for at least a month, how to explain it?

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

In the midst of the earth-shattering shouts of killing, suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves.

Gasilan was a little puzzled, his soldiers and horses were attacking the city, where did the cavalry come from?

He hurriedly went to check, but saw a troop of soldiers and horses approaching quickly, and from a distance, it seemed to be his own people.

In such an environment, Jia Silan did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly sent someone forward to inquire.

After a while, the scouts in front sent back the news.

"General, the other party claims that he was sent by the county lord of Qiqike to recruit troops!"

Hearing this answer, Ji Jiaslan's heart was suddenly mixed, happy that the other party was his own person, and worried that the 30,000 soldiers and horses recruited by Qi Qike were detained by his own private support.

The top priority is to take back Hami City, and as for the 30,000 horses, they must be beaten and punished, and they will be punished.

"How many of them came?"

"Five thousand, all elite cavalry."

"Alright, let them come!"

"Yes!"

The front received an order to open the checkpoint, and five thousand men and horses passed through in turn and entered the main camp.

Gathlan brewed a rhetoric that in any case, he must keep these 5,000 men and assist him in the siege.

There is an innumerable amount of silver and gold in the city, and what if you divide half of it when it is done?

I don't believe that there will be people who can't get along with money!

Sou!

Suddenly, a feathered arrow burst through the air, and one of the guards beside Gathlan fell to the ground.
