Chapter 780: Saktu's Destination
Saktu was emotional, roared angrily, and directly tore the military newspaper in his hand to shreds, he didn't believe that at the critical moment of the Battle of Mengzhou, there would be reinforcements to support, and it was the most unlikely Jinju soldiers to come.
Daliang Jinzhou, but the territory of the second prince, the relationship between the king of Jin and Su Qi'an, is definitely not so friendly.
In particular, Su Qi'an transited Jinzhou and had a conflict with Jinzhou Mu Guokai, and these Saktu are well understood.
In order to implement his plot to take Mengzhou, the previous invasion of Ganzhou was just a temptation, in order to confirm the reaction of several state pastors who were relatively close.
As he imagined, these state pastors were indifferent, and they all looked like they were sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, especially Jinju, which was the closest to it, and they didn't have any intention of acting.
Even when he took Wuwei and divided 20,000 troops to attack Mengzhou in the north and south, Jinzhou did not react at all, which gave Saktumo great confidence.
The battle of Mengzhou was fought to the last moment, and it seemed that Mengzhou City could be taken, but such a Cheng Biting Gold was killed.
This is the most incomprehensible thing for Saktu, even if Jinzhou Mu Guo Kai, due to the pressure of the Daliang Imperial Court, had to send troops to support, but when they gathered their forces and arrived in Mengzhou, most of Mengzhou would be taken.
At that time, the war situation has been decided, Guo Kai can also use this kind of rhetoric to excuse himself, even if the Daliang Imperial Court wants to punish him, he can shirk the past.
However, the Jinzhou soldiers were reinforced in time at a critical moment, which shows that the Battle of Mengzhou broke out, at least from the attack on the four military cities, Guo Kai gathered a large army and set off towards Mengzhou.
Only in this way can we explain how the Jinju soldiers arrived at a critical moment by chance.
But the more this is the case, the more unbelieving Saktu becomes, the festival between Guo Kai and Su Qi'an, he found out very clearly, how can it be easy to resolve the grievances between the two sides.
Moreover, sending troops to support Guo Kai is not beneficial at all, this time there are at least 50,000 troops, and if you want to break the siege in one fell swoop, you must pay casualties.
These casualties are better than waiting for the war to end and then arriving slowly.
Guo Kai was willing to pay the casualties of his soldiers, just to save Su Qi'an's predicament in the two northwestern states, which was something that Saktu couldn't figure out.
Saktu's madness, the subordinates around him, all of them didn't dare to speak, and some even took a few steps back, just watching quietly.
Saktu was emotional, but he was also the leader of the Western Regions, and after a period of venting, he finally calmed down, his hands on the city wall, and his eyes were full of gloom.
Although he didn't understand why Guo Kai was desperate to help Su Qi'an, the fact had already happened, and no amount of remorse had any effect.
The city of Mengzhou was supported by the Jinju soldiers, and the offensive of the 50,000 coalition troops on both sides was frustrated, and they retreated very decisively.
This kind of retreat is not to occupy the four military cities, or even the three military cities more periphery, and continue to defend and counterattack, but to resolutely abandon the four military cities and retreat to the three peripheral military cities in one go.
It seems that the Rongbing soldiers who went south had the intention of giving up the occupation and withdrawing to the territory of Rongguo.
It's no wonder that this is the case, now that Daliang Jinzhou has sent troops to support, who can guarantee the follow-up, and whether other states will continue to increase troops?
Besides, Ganzhou is not in their hands, but if one of the two states is in hand, even in the face of Jinzhou's troops, the Rongbing soldiers who go south will not hesitate to go all the way south to join up with Saktu's army, and then they can fight a protracted war.
But now, there is only one military town in Ganzhou, and there are reinforcements in Mengzhou, and the follow-up situation is unknown, and in this uncertain situation, withdrawal is the best choice.
As for Saktu's life and death, from the moment the Jinju soldiers supported him, his value disappeared.
Saktu knew this better than anyone else, and understood it, which was why Saktu insisted on dividing his troops to the north.
If you want to be valued by Rongguo, sometimes you have to pay some price, but this price comes with huge risks.
But in the risk, there is also a great opportunity, if it happens, Mengzhou will be taken, and he will be sa
Ketu led the Western Regions coalition and made history.
If it is defeated, it will be a catastrophe, and the current situation is a catastrophe.
The retreat of the Rong soldiers has already explained everything, with the strength of the Rong soldiers, it is not that they are really afraid of the great cold, but before they go on the expedition, they have to consider whether there is a value of return.
Even if the honored troops do not withdraw, continue the siege, or increase the troops, these are all fine, but what is the result of this? Just to wipe Saktu's ass? Or maybe it's to rescue Saktu? No matter how you look at it, it feels very unrealistic.
For Da Rong, the Western Regions is far from being able to pay attention to it, and the reason why he is willing to send troops to support this time is mainly based on the strength of Saktu.
Unified the Western Regions, gathered 70,000 troops, and marched west to Ganzhou, while Darong only needed to dispatch 40,000 or 50,000 troops to respond, which was not a loss-making deal.
It's just that no one expected that as the war progressed, the battle line was lengthened, and the number of troops increased, and in the end, they still failed to take the two northwestern states.
At least one Saktu will not let Da Rong and Da Liang tear their faces, and a full-scale war will not break out.
These, Saktu knew better than anyone that he had lost this battle after all, and he stared at Su Qi'an, who came slowly under the city tower and in the chariot again.
When he got the last military report of the Mengzhou War, Su Qi'an must have also known the news.
Looking at Su Qi'an, who was approaching, Saktu suddenly had a smile on his face and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Su Overseer, I didn't expect you to win this game, the leader of this alliance really didn't expect it, it seems that it's really as you said, even God is helping you."
Su Qi'an's face was indifferent, and he nodded slightly, but no one noticed that the palm hidden in the robe trembled slightly, obviously, the dispatch of the Jinzhou soldiers was not as easy as Saktu thought.
To be honest, Su Qi'an is not too sure about Guo Kai's rescue, and it is easy for Guo Kai to secretly make Guo Kai bad as far as the festival between him and Guo Kai is concerned.
But there is no way, the closest to Mengzhou, and the troops are sufficient, only Jinzhou, Su Qi'an asked for help in the letter, and they were all holding dead horses as live horse doctors.
Even the worst-case scenario has been taken into account, if Guo Kai really sees death and does not save him, Su Qi'an will decisively order the Ganzhou army to attack Wuwei with all his might, and it is bound to keep one of the states.
In a good confrontation with the Rongbing soldiers in Mengzhou, and at the same time, he will personally lead the army and take a trip to Jinzhou, what will become of Jinzhou at that time, Su Qi'an will not guarantee.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Guo Kai's reinforcements finally arrived, and the Rongbing soldiers who went south saw that the momentum was not good, and they had quickly evacuated the three military cities outside Mengzhou.
With the support of the Jinzhou soldiers, not only the crisis of Mengzhou was solved, but also the situation of Ganzhou.
This is the war, before the battle is at the last moment, it is too early to discuss the outcome of the battle, this battle Su Qi'an won, although at the last moment with a bit of luck, but good luck is also part of the war.
Su Qi'an calmed down his emotions a little, looked up at Saktu, who had become a turtle in the urn, and said softly.
"Lord of the Saktu Alliance, now that the war is decided, it is time for you to fulfill your promise and surrender in Kaesong."
Su Qi'an said this, but Saktu couldn't help laughing, he laughed heartily, with a little relief.
"Kaesong surrendered, the leader of this alliance did promise you, but this does not include myself, the battle has reached this point, I have been defeated, there is nothing to say, I am willing to accept defeat."
"But after all, I am also the leader of the Western Regions Alliance, I am not like these wall grasses on both sides, I have only one destination, and that is to die on the battlefield, so, Su Overseer, are you willing to fulfill the request of the leader of this alliance?"
Su Qi'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded, looking at Saktu's eyes, with a little admiration, not to mention anything else, Saktu's unruly toughness is enough to be called a generation of heroes.
It's just that this hero, defeated and defeated by his arrogance, with a mere tens of thousands of troops, he wants to capture the two northwestern states and send troops to Daliang, which is tantamount to a snake swallowing an elephant, and in the end he can only support himself to death.
Su Qi'an retracted his gaze and waved his hand, and after a while, the army behind him quickly assembled, and at the same time, the closed city gate was also slowly opened.
At the head was Saktu, and behind him were all the elite soldiers who had followed him for many years, and the number was about 5,000.
Even in the face of tens of thousands of assembled troops, these people did not have the slightest cowardice in their eyes, but burst out with monstrous fighting intent, just waiting for an order to attack at any time to meet their final battle.
Saktu rode his horse, looked at Su Qi'an in front of him, and laughed, "Su Qi'an, you are the most daring and adventurous soldier that the leader of this alliance has ever seen, and with luck that even the leader of this alliance can't envy.
"It's just that I don't know how much more blessing you can bring to Da Liang, but unfortunately, these alliance masters can't see it."
"But give me another chance, the leader of this alliance still does not regret it, it is the leader of this alliance who has brought the Western Regions to unprecedented heights, and I have to thank me for speaking of it."
"The whole army obeyed the order, went out to battle with the leader of this alliance, and swore to kill Su Qi'an!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
At the sound of an order, the five thousand evil elite soldiers behind him erupted in astonishing anger, and under the leadership of Saktu, they went straight to Su Qi'an.
Although the momentum is fierce and the speed is amazing, in front of the tens of thousands of troops that have been prepared for a long time, with the ferocious momentum, with the collision of the two armies, and the arrows shot out of the sky.
In just a moment, Saktu and the five thousand elite soldiers behind him were completely overwhelmed...
The neighing of the horses, the crushing of the horses' hooves, and the fighting between the two sides lasted less than two quarters of an hour before they calmed down.
