Chapter 329: The Northern Expedition to Feed the Enemy

With the arrival of reinforcements from Ningxia Zhongwei and Lanzhou City, the strength of Liangzhou City increased greatly.

A large army often needs to attack a city several times as many times as the enemy. Now there are 30,000 men in armor in the city, looking like a warat, fighting for several days, and the casualties of the 100,000 army are as high as nearly 20,000.

Waiting for the reinforcements to join forces with the men and horses in the city, Arotai realized that he had been tricked, and there were not many people in Liangzhou City at all.

If he could have attacked the city with all his strength without interruption, maybe he would have taken Liangzhou and plundered all the gold, silver, money, food, and women in the city back to the grassland.

The despicable southerners actually used a small group of cavalry to make themselves nervous, and they did not dare to let go of the attack......

But the fighter plane is fleeting, and now that the heavy snow has stopped, if it continues to be consumed, he may be surrounded by the Nanren army and become a turtle in an urn.

I was unwilling to go back to my home, and I led an army of 100,000 to the south, and I lost 20,000 horses without any benefits.

No, you have to take Liangzhou and loot in the Huahua World in the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, Arotai's gloomy eyes became even more gloomy.

He summoned his own soldiers and ordered: "Wu Erchi, you take people to bypass Liangzhou and go to Xining to contact Qi Wenliang......"

……

After Jia Shiyi received the secret letter from Liangzhou, he returned to the city that night.

The main hall of the General's Mansion was brightly lit, and several generals such as Jia Cong, Zhang Daiyan, Xu Youwen, and Ningxia Zhongwei Commander Tongzhi Changwei, who led the troops, collectively discussed the feasibility of raiding the Wara Royal Court in the main hall.

Jia Cong knew that he was not as experienced as this group of veterans on the battlefield, so he naturally chose to work together, which was not efficient, but the most practical method.

"The men and horses that Arotai brought south this time are all the elite of the Warat Khanate, and the Khanate's troops are empty, as General Eleven said, it is a good way."

"Come and don't be rude, the north is cold, and the people of Warat would never have dreamed that we would dare to go deep alone at this time."

"However, three thousand people are too few, and there are at least twenty or thirty thousand elite guards in the Wara Khan Court. Since you want to do it, you have to go big......"

"Gather 10,000 elite cavalry, take out all the war horses, one person and three horses. Anyway, we are defending the city, and we don't need war horses. ”

"I really don't dare to say that I can do it if someone else leads the team, but since it is the eleventh general leading the team, I am at least six or seven percent sure. Is there anything else in Warat that General Eleventh hasn't been to? Very cooked. ”

"It's not yet April, and the Warat Khan Court is definitely still near the Zabulan River, which is relatively close, which is a rare opportunity! Done! ”

"It's done!"

"It's best to go straight to the Yellow Dragon and capture King Warat Khan, then we can be regarded as a wolf, right?"

Hiss!

This group of killers!

The original strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao was discussed by this group of people, and it suddenly became a wolf juxu.

As the people in the hall said, the opportunity is rare, and it is impossible to say that you don't have a big vote. At that time, even if the Khan Court can't be defeated, as long as Jia Shiyi takes more than 10,000 people to stir up a storm in Wara, it will be enough to make Great Xia raise his eyebrows.

Zhang Daiyan frowned and said: "However, the army is going north, and it is not easy to carry too much grain and grass, otherwise it will affect the speed of the march,"

Jia Cong, who had not made a sound, was stunned, and suddenly interjected: "Just feed the enemy, just carry a small amount of grain and grass." Now that it's cold, the people of Warat will look for a fixed place to catwinter. Fight all the way and collect grain and grass all the way, the inner saint and the outer king, this is what the saint said. ”

is a good inner saint and outer king, worthy of being Xu Qingteng's student.

Everyone nodded tacitly, it would be cool to start a war without civilian officials and supervising the army, at least no one would talk about the benevolence and righteousness of the Heavenly Empire.

The grand strategy has been decided, and the generals have already gone back to arrange for the deployment of troops. Soon the 7,000 elites quietly left the city from the south gate under the cover of night, bypassing the eyes of the Warats, and headed west.

In fact, Jia Cong really wanted to follow Jia Shiyi to Wara for a while, but he is now the chief general of Liangzhou, with heavy responsibilities, and he needs to sit in the Chinese army, how can he lead the troops north to the desert.

Just because he had this idea before, the generals in the city were already strictly guarded, and the guards around him more than doubled.

After daybreak, Arrotai began another round of siege warfare.

Today's offensive, however, was noticeably more intense than usual. The artillery was red, and the enemy continued to climb to the top of the city. After the north gate was bombarded by the Tartar artillery, the two sides fought repeatedly in the door hole.

The people on both sides were red-eyed, and the corpses in the door hole were piled higher and higher, and in the end, Jia Cong once again took out the only remaining fierce fire oil and used the fire wall to block the reinforcements of the Tartars, which bought time for the army in the city to repair the door hole.

Warat attacked Liangzhou for more than ten days, and the blood and water under the city of Liangzhou even melted the thick snow on the ground.

There were more than 20,000 defenders in the city, and they simply blocked 80,000 Vara Tartars outside the city of Liangzhou.

Arotai kept sending people around to loot and search for grain and grass, survived the most difficult moments, and finally waited for the support of Xining Mansion.

In late March, the temperature gradually warms. The road to the west of the river has been opened, and Xining Province has sent people to send a large amount of grain and grass, and has provided excellent news to Arotai.

The Xining army confronted the Yellow River with the imperial army in the direction of Lanzhou, and at the same time rebelled against the people and horses of the Western Regions countries and state capitals.

Only Yongchangwei in the west is still in the hands of the imperial court, but he also has no strength to help Liangzhou. Today's Liangzhou is like a lonely city, and there will be no army to support it in a short period of time.

If the Wara army does not want to continue to spend here, it can go to the west to bypass the defense line of Liangzhou and Yongchangwei, go south from Shandanwei, and join the Xining army.

Upon learning of this situation, Arotai immediately wanted to detour westward. It's a pity that he wants to go, Jia Cong is not happy.

The spies of the Dragon Praetorian Guard were everywhere, including Qi Wenliang's army. Knowing that Qi Wenliang had sent grain and grass to Wara Tatars, as well as news from various places, Jia Cong secretly hated Qi Wenliang's traitorous behavior on the one hand, and asked the scouts to keep an eye on every move of the Wara camp.

On the last day of March, Warat attacked Liangzhou City for a day in an unusually perfunctory manner, and quietly packed up at night, intending to turn west while it was dark.

Jia Cong immediately sent people to the west to inform Yongchangwei, and at the same time ordered the deputy general Zhang Daiyan to lead an army of 10,000 to quietly leave the city, and quickly march to hide in the gray mountain pass, the only way to the west.

Gray Mountain Pass is a natural ambush place between two mountains and a valley. Although the people sent by Qi Wenliang were quite familiar with the terrain of Hexi, they didn't expect that the spies of the Dragon Guards had already sent their whereabouts to Jia Cong's desk.

Unexpectedly, Jia Cong's courage was naturally big, and he dared to transfer the brigade out of the city and ambush them on the way they had to go.

According to Jia Cong's instructions, Zhang Daiyan suddenly slaughtered from above the valley when the Wara army was halfway through. The boulder broke off his waist and cut off the army of Warat in the middle.

The rain of arrows covered the continuous shooting, and when the crossbowman's arm was almost unable to straighten up, he immediately retreated, not giving the Warattars a chance to counterattack.

At the same time, there were also Yongchangwei's 10,000 troops who had buried a large amount of gunpowder at the exit of the valley ahead, if it hadn't been for Arotai's cautiousness after being attacked, the earth-shattering explosion would have been enough to send this Taishi of Wara back to the Immortal Heaven.

After Zhang Daiyan led his men and horses to join forces with Yongchangwei's men, 20,000 people continued to harass the marching Tartar army.

Yongchangwei received an order from Jia Cong as early as the beginning of March to move all the people outside the city into the city and implement the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.

Every time Ah Luo Tai went to a Zhuangziwu fort, he originally wanted to loot, but he didn't want these Zhuangziwu forts to be full of armoured and stubborn troops.

The Dock Fort Zhuangzi, which was densely packed all over Yongchangwei, became the biggest obstacle to the advance of the Warat army, and when they wanted to bypass it, there would be elusive cavalry sneak attacks.

In just two hundred miles, it took more than ten days to arrive in the territory of Shandanwei.

Across the Shuimochuan River, Alotai is far away from Zhang Daiyan on the bank of the Lema River. In just more than ten days, nearly 10,000 of the Warat army died in the grassland of Yongchangwei, and Arotai hated the people who led the troops.

He felt that this person who had suffered heavy losses by sneaking up on him was even more hateful than Jia Cong, who was attacking and defending him head-on.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and Ah Luo snorted coldly and shook off his whip: "Go, wait for the Central Plains to be occupied, and then come back to find this person for revenge!" ”

The Warat army left Liangzhou, but the crisis in Liangzhou had not been completely resolved.

According to the latest news, Xining Prefecture has rebelled against the Western Regions domains, and only Yongchang, Ganzhou, and Suzhou are still loyal to the imperial court to the west of Liangzhou.

The key roads in the southwest of Liangzhou, Zhuang Langwei and Lubosuo, have been captured by the Xining army. Now the Xining army confronted the Yellow River with the imperial court, directly cutting off the connection between Liangzhou and Lanzhou.

Now Jia Cong can do a limited amount, that is, to hold Liangzhou, try to send people to attack the defense line on the north side of Xining, and add a little help to the main force of Lanzhou.

Hexi in April was originally in the spring ploughing season.

But the smoke of war filled the land of Hexi, and the people could only stay in the city bitterly, not daring to go out easily.

There is already a shortage of grain and grass in Liangzhou, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians eat horses and chew them, even if they save a little food, they can't carry it for a few days.

More than a dozen brothers of the Dragon Guards have died on the way to Lanzhou, and the people of Xining Mansion have completely cut off the communication between Liangzhou and Lanzhou, not to mention people, even a bird, they will not let it fly through the Hexi Corridor.

Jia Cong gave up the hope of asking for help from Lanzhou, and directly ordered the only remaining 3,000 cavalry in the city to go south to Xining Mansion, and at the same time attack the defense line on the north side of Xining, he gave food to the enemy and grabbed food directly from the hands of the Xining army.

Not half a day after the departure of the 3,000 cavalry, the horn sounded in the northern city of Liangzhou.

A large group of cavalry appeared at the north city gate, and the smoke and dust were billowing out, and there were no less than tens of thousands of horses in sight.

At night, the entire city of Liangzhou is covered with the smell of meat.

Jia Shiyi sent more than 1,000 people to drive thousands of cattle and sheep back, thousands of cattle and sheep galloped outside the city of Liangzhou, and the smoke and dust almost made the soldiers defending the city think that the Tartars had come to attack the city again.

In the city of Liangzhou, the soldiers and civilians who had not tasted meat for several days were eating the fragrant broth foam again today, and they were full of laughter.

And Jia Shiyi, who is thousands of miles away, has already brought more than 6,000 people to the south bank of the Lemazha Buhan River.

In the past month of rushing and fighting, as many as fifteen small tribes of Warat were wiped out by Jia Shiyi, killing five or six thousand enemies, and capturing an unknown number of cattle and sheep.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to smash Huanglong directly, Jia Shiyi would want to bypass those big tribes and continue to the north, chasing those small tribes on the grassland.

"Report!"

The scout finally returned, and all eyes were on the scout sent earlier.

I only heard the scout's excited words: "General Qiyu, the Wara Khan Court is on the river less than twenty miles northwest, looking at the layout of its camp tent, the defenders are only 30,000, the defense is lax, and the Chinese army's sweat tent is on the south side of the camp......"

Jia Shiyi's eyes flashed with a glint and he applauded loudly.

"The army rested on the spot, and when noon came, the brothers followed me to the Yellow Dragon. Whether you can seal the wolf depends on today! ”

……

The previous dynasty has fallen, and the descendants of the Golden Family have lost their former glory.

They have lost their former ambitions, and are now accustomed to huddle on the grasslands and live a life of getting by.

After the death of the former national teacher, Chenur, the power of Warat fell into the hands of the most powerful of the Chorus family.

Arotai deposed the old Khan of Warat, and pushed the great prince of Warat, Yilan, to succeed him to the throne and be named the Grand Master.

The biggest difference between Arotai and Chinar is that this person is ambitious, and after ascending to the throne, he directly sent troops to annex many small tribes near Warat.

At the same time, a temporary agreement was reached with the Tatars, and the two sides restrained their men, ending years of mutual conquest.

In just one year, the strength of the Warat Khan's court has increased greatly, and there are 150,000 elite troops directly under the Khan's court alone.

If it weren't for the fact that Ah Luo Tai was fooled by Qi Wenliang this time and said that he would jointly send troops to divide the world equally, and Ah Luo Tai didn't want the servant clan to take advantage, Jia Cong would face more than just a hundred thousand troops in Liangzhou.

Although Yilan is dissatisfied with the Rose family in power, he is an extremely forbearant person, and he knows that he can't do without and can't resist the Rose family, so he has always respected Ah Luo Taiji, and even called him Father.

A Luo Tai led his troops to the south, he not only hoped that Wara could really divide the Central Plains with Xining Mansion, but also hoped that A Luo Tai would defeat the southern country and take power himself......

The spring of the steppe came late, and Alotai sent troops out again and has not returned yet, at this time the Khan court is not easy to migrate, so he can only stop in the old place and wait for his return.

Warat is not like the Central Plains, except for hunting and grazing, there is no serious political affairs to deal with.

Just after noon, Kotun, who was from the Rose family, had lunch delivered.

Yi Lan had just picked up the short knife on the plate and was about to cut the meat to taste, when he suddenly heard a noisy shout outside.

Only then did he feel the ground tremble, and Yi Lan, who grew on horseback, immediately realized that this was something that only a large group of cavalry could do.

"Let's go see what's going on?"

Crash!

The curtain of the sweat tent was violently opened, and the sturdy soldiers rushed into the sweat tent and hurriedly said: "Great Khan, it is the southern cavalry, they are about to kill the sweat tent." The Great Khan hurriedly changed his clothes, and the last general had already gathered his own soldiers to escort the Great Khan to transfer. ”

……

"Kill!"

The knife in Jia Shiyi's hand was like a glimpse of cold light, and while galloping his horse, a knife slashed through the neck of the tartar.

The officials and nobles of Warada were eating lunch, and they didn't realize that someone would raid the Khan's court, and many of them were harvested by Da Xia Erlang before they even put down their bowls.

The hastily responded Warat army could not even organize an effective blockade, and watched Jia Shiyi lead thousands of people from south to north through the circle of tents, until they reached the Warat Khan's tent.

The hundreds of Tartars who held the sweat tent soon died in front of Jia Shiyi's horse, and he rode forward and cut the curtain of the sweat tent with a knife.

Immediately, his face turned cold, and he scolded secretly and shouted: "The captive chief ran away, the brothers follow me, I must capture the captive chief today and send it back to the capital to dance for the two saints!" ”
