Chapter 759: Onslaught

Before Meng Khan could finish speaking, a group of soldiers stepped forward and surrounded him, with expressionless faces and low voices.

"Please contact your adult to get on the bus."

In this kind of battle, Meng Khan knew that he had no excuse to leave, so he quickly changed his face and hurriedly said.

"Since the alliance leader is so polite, it would be better to be respectful than to obey his fate."

Then he turned and got into the carriage, which moved slowly under the watchful eye of Saktu, guarded by a group of soldiers.

During the period, when passing by Saktu, the two nodded slightly with a smile on their faces, until the carriage gradually moved away, Saktu smiled and retracted, his face was cold, and he said secretly.

"Hmph, I want to run away in front of the leader of this alliance, old fox, you can't run out of my palm."

Saktu did this, in addition to being uneasy about Meng Khan, and more importantly, he took Meng Khan as a hostage, this battle, he poured out of the nest, if there was a moth last time, his old book would have to be put in.

Therefore, this time, no matter how much it costs, it is impossible for him to allow a person like Meng Khan to sit firmly in the rear and sit alone on the Diaoyu Tai.

Daiei wants to use him as a pawn for consumption, and the same goes for Saktu.

For this battle, it took a month with Su Qi'an, and for more than a month, the thousands of soldiers who had been killed in the previous raid on the city were basically replenished.

The 70,000 army was fully equipped, except for the 10,000 people left behind as a reserve, the remaining 60,000 horses, divided into three routes, attacked the three towns of Tiannan, Longquan and Wuwei.

As long as the three towns are broken, Ganzhou will be at your fingertips, Darong has caused huge losses to Mengzhou, Mengzhou has already asked for help, as Meng Khan expected, this expedition is not someone else, it is Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an was transferred, and now only Wang Zhenshan, who has dealt with him for many years, is left in Ganzhou.

Ganzhou's troops were taken away by Su Qi'an, according to his guess, there were only about 60,000 at most, and in terms of troops, he had the advantage.

Even if the opponent's strength far exceeds him, Saktu is bound to win this battle, and Su Qi'an's transfer is nothing more than icing on the cake.

After waiting for so long, it was finally time for a full-scale war, and this time, Saktu would not allow anyone to stand on the sidelines, nor would anyone sabotage his plans, otherwise, it would be death.

Saktu looked grim and rode his horse, and the mighty army behind him pulled out of the realm.

The news that Saktu led the army to march eastward soon reached the ears of Su Qi'an and Wang Zhenshan.

The two of them still made preparations for the dispatch of troops to Saktu, and after Su Qi'an's large-scale military training, the total strength of all the troops in Ganzhou has reached 85,000.

Whether it is the strength of the troops or the defensive terrain, they are all superior, and the soldiers under their hands are all gearing up, waiting for the Western Regions coalition army in Saktu.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, so they released news in Saktu and sent troops to Ganzhou, and there was an urgent request for help from Mengzhou.

With the cooperation of 50,000 honored soldiers, in less than half a day's effort, they took the two military towns in Mengzhou first.

Su Qi'an had thought about the attack on Mengzhou, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, which was a surprise to Su Qi'an.

Soon after receiving the news of the request for help, Su Qi'an immediately discussed with Wang Zhenshan, and then decided that he would lead the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of Dongshan, as well as the cavalry division, a total of 25,000 people to provide emergency support.

In addition to the 30,000 regular troops and 20,000 militiamen, Xie Cang's 10,000 Split Mountain Army and 60,000 troops defended Ganzhou.

In terms of troops, it is not superior, but with the help of the terrain, in the face of 70,000 Western Regions Coalition troops, it will not be so easy to be taken.

After more than a month of training, Xie Cang's Split Mountain Army advanced by leaps and bounds, and its strength improved the fastest.

It seems that the Split Mountain Army is born for Ganzhou, whether it is with the cooperation with the Ganzhou soldiers, or acting alone with the help of the terrain, it is not inferior to the Ganzhou soldiers, and even in some aspects, it is also more skilled.

If no one reminds him, Xie Cang's Split Mountain Army can easily be regarded as a local army, and its strength is absolute

Not to be underestimated.

In addition to training, Su Qi'an also made adjustments to the three military towns on the border, although this battle was defensive, but the 60,000 people, all the troops were piled up in the three military towns, this kind of passive and rigid style of play is not what Su Qi'an wants to see.

Around the three military towns of Tiannan, Longquan and Wuwei, Su Qi'an built at least more than 30 military forts.

In addition to the defense of the three military towns, these military forts are also the hubs connecting the three military towns.

With Longquan in the middle as the core, in front of it, there are at least ten military forts to defend, in its left front is Tiannan Military Town, and on the right front is Wuwei Military Town.

Along the way, there are dense military forts connected to each other, like nails, nailed to the ground.

If you want to take the three military towns on the border, the thirty military forts around you are destined to be unavoidable.

This is a topographical arrangement, in terms of generals, Tiannan on the left is guarded by Wang Zhenshan and Zhao Shen, Longquan at the core hub in the middle is handed over to Xie Cang, and Wuwei on the right is Longxiong and Li Zhong.

As for the number of troops, there are 20,000 troops in each military town, but these 20,000 people are not fixed in the military towns, but are dispatched to pass through the 30 military forts around them at any time according to the changes in the battlefield.

And the contact in charge of the thirty military forts is the rest of the lieutenant generals and the lords of the military forts.

The placement of the deputy general in the military fort is also to give the military fort lord below a deterrent, there are deputy generals on the battlefield, generals with a high strategic vision are in charge, even if the military fort below is breached, it will not be at a critical moment, some military fort owners will make mistakes in judgment and make mistakes.

This time, the Saktu soldiers are divided into three ways, which seems to be menacing, but as long as they are targeted one by one, they can be easily resolved.

In Saktu's thoughts, this time he wanted to take Ganzhou, and he must have sent troops like this to fight a quick battle, no matter what, to reduce casualties.

And if you want to win it quickly, the best way is to attack Longquan, which is the center in the middle.

Once Longquan is taken, it is equivalent to controlling the throat of the three border towns, and it can attack the capital city with few troops in one fell swoop, and even if it retreats, it will also rely on the terrain of Longquan Military Town to retreat calmly.

But if you want to take Longquan, you can't get around the dense military fort in front of you, even if you pull it out little by little, not only will there be heavy casualties, but the time will also be delayed.

On the contrary, whether it is to attack Tiannan on the left or Wuwei on the right, the number of military forts faced will be less, even if you are lucky enough to take one of them.

It can't break the structure of the three border towns, and in the end it will have to return to Longquan in the middle.

It is precisely because of the center of Longquan's undertaking that this is also a way of playing that Su Qi'an has arranged with Longquan as the core that cannot be quickly resolved.

What Su Qi'an wanted was to drag Saktu's army into a mud that had fallen into a long war.

In this kind of fighting style that is consumed little by little, even if there is an army with high morale, it will be dragged into the quagmire of war and unable to extricate itself.

The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is for them, this battle, do not ask Ganzhou to annihilate the Western Regions Alliance Army for many years, just let them advance or retreat, a little bit of consumption of their patience, fighting spirit.

When he calmed down the war in Mengzhou, and then returned to help, flanking back and forth, at that time there was only a dead end waiting for Saktu.

After determining the tactical play, Su Qi'an did not delay, led 25,000 Dongzhou soldiers including Song Biao, Chen Zhi, and Er Meng, and said goodbye to Wang Zhenshan and Zhao Shen, and quickly reined in and left.

The war horses neighed, and the army was mighty, and under the gaze of the two, it disappeared away.

Seeing Su Qi'an go north and leave, Wang Zhenshan retracted his gaze and said to Zhao Shen.

"Order, this battle must be in accordance with Su Hou's orders, not to destroy many enemies, but to trap the Western Regions Alliance to death, no matter how much it costs, they must be unable to move."

Zhao Shen nodded heavily, and then left.

The mighty 70,000 Western Regions coalition troops crossed the border with almost no hindrance and passed directly.

After all, Saktu is pouring out of the nest and going to war in an all-out way, and at this time the so-called ambush is sent on the border, or a small force, which has no effect, and in the end it is just for nothing

Wasting troops in vain.

In this case, it is better to let go and arrange the troops in the three military towns and the surrounding thirty military forts, this battle will definitely make the Western Regions Alliance army have no return.

The mighty Western Regions Coalition Army, divided into three routes, soon crossed the border, and soon broke out into a major battle with the nearby military fort.

This battle is not as good as before, before the military forts were mostly local militia, and the combat effectiveness was not very strong, but now, after the whole training, it was the Ganzhou soldiers who were defending in the military forts.

The front-line troops and the Ganzhou soldiers in the military fort fought fiercely, and even heavy crossbows and catapults were used.

The momentum is huge, as soon as it comes into contact, it is white-hot, and from time to time you can see some hoplite cavalry rushing out of the military fort, rushing back and forth.

The sound of killing shook the sky, accompanied by the flying of skulls and the spurting of blood, and the soldiers on both sides did not have the slightest intention of backing down, each roaring loudly, holding a big knife and a halberd, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Saktu wasn't there, and if he had seen it with his own eyes, he would have been shocked by the fierce battle in front of him.

A small military fort, the battle that broke out, no less than attacking a local county, the battle was fierce, the casualties were also rising, and everyone was red-eyed...

With the passage of time minute by minute, the size of the military fort could not be compared to the military town after all, under the large-scale attack of the Western Regions coalition army, in about half an hour, the three military towns, the most advanced several military forts were lost.

The Western Regions Alliance did not stop, and continued to attack the next military fort step by step according to the plan.

At the same time, the casualty reports of the Three-Way Army, like snowflakes, soon converged in the hands of Saktu, who was sitting in the rear reserves.

His eyes flickered, and although he didn't say a word, anyone could see that his face was solemn.

In half an hour, five military forts were taken, but the casualties reached 2,000, which was really too scary.
