Chapter 144: Temper
Hami, Hami, if it weren’t for Hami melon in later generations, this would probably be a small place with little reputation.
But this small place with less than 3,000 households means the Western Regions for the Central Plains dynasty.
This is the eastern gate of the Western Regions. From Jiayuguan to Guazhou, you will walk one more step into the desert of the sand sea. The thousands of miles of road to Tubo is hard to find. Hami is a precious oasis preserved by the towering mountains.
Six hundred miles is the road for thousands of years for monks, caravans, and army to die thousands of times.
Dayun's own risk gave the extremely tired Ming army enough rest time along the way. They entered the Hamiwei Ancient City without having to join the battle and firmly grasped the city defense of this ancient city.
When the northwest athletes with helmets and armor were lined up in neat arrays to fight into the subway, they led their subordinates to keep bowing under the city gate to welcome the Heavenly Army, Heima, who raised his head.
After realizing that he was deceived, he wrinkled his deep head-up pattern and looked at Da Yun, who was holding the walls and pursing his lips slightly on the city gate, and sighed a long sigh.
If he had tried hard, the Ming army, which seemed to be just a thousand people, could it be so easy to enter the city even if it was a sturdy and well-equipped man.
But the regret medicine that can be sold to Ma Heima in this world is sold out in the first team. When the Liangzhou flag army, carrying flag spears, sleeveless armor with puff nails, hair scarves, and iron helmets with a word of courage, entered the city, it was sold out.
He didn't know how many Ming troops were. Judging from the formation, it was definitely not as many as 30,000. In the city, there was no such thing as Da Yun's so-called Qier Jiss Insider. The Ming army and Da Yuntong who were mixed into the city had 17 people, and they asked him to catch them all.
In such a situation, the young Ming army general was so scared that he asked him to hand over the city defense.
Hami Ma Heima was both angry and embarrassed, and admired Da Yun. He didn't have the courage to get along with him when he was relocated!
The first batch of elite cavalry and the four hundred flag troops of Liangzhou Guard entered the city under the command of Liangzhou Yang Kui, and were divided into four gates to guard the city. They ordered the original defenders on the city to snatch the bow and crossbow strings and all the armor was removed.
Then the main force followed Tong Deng into the city to control the streets, and followed the army's baggage horses, packs, and camels into the city. Finally, the vanguard of Ningxia Town, the general of Xining, and the commander of Ganzhou Lu Guangzu led elite troops to 600 troops to build camps in the south of the city, and sent scouts back to find Zhang Chen of Ningxia, and led them in Wei Dynasty.
Lu Guangzu's ancestor was Tuohuan, the king of Anding in the late Yuan Dynasty. He fell behind and fled to Hexi when he fled north with Emperor Shun of Yuan. The Ming army was placed in Liancheng. It has been passed down to the eighth generation. From the centurion to the commander, he has now become the world of command.
His father, Ludong, fought several battles with the invading Mongolian army. His elder brother died in office. Lu Guangzu inherited his post for five years and was already a veteran on the battlefield who fought with the Mongolian army several times.
Within a few days of garrisoning from all over the country, news came from the backyard that the Wei Dynasty in Shaanxi had led 5,000 troops into the Guazhou border.
The veteran general Zhang Chen of Gansu was led by carefully selected plateau soldiers. He led the mission of Fuxing Yumen and Yangguan from the emperor, and led his army to Harjinshui, Qinghai.
Zhang Chen had a violent temper and would definitely fight when he left his house. He thought that when he was guarding Ningxia, Altan wanted to borrow Helan Mountain. Zhang Chen refused to let him go, so Altan scolded him a few times.
Just a few words, Zhang Chen lit up his troops and decided to kill Han overnight. Tang Erqu water destroyed the road. Chen Bing Chishuikou forced Altan to take a detour from behind the mountain. In the next three years, no one dared to yell loudly in Ningxia.
This is not walking along the river in the mountains of Qinghai, but fighting while marching. At this moment, I have fought three battles with the Weila Mongols who are stationed in the past. The Mongolian soldiers are usually addicted to invading the people of the border areas, and their combat power is really not enough in the eyes of Mr. Zhang, who is from the army, and they will disperse in two or three times.
After leaving the mountain, the Anding Guards of the Seven Guards in Guanxi must be reset and the southeast gate of the Western Regions must be guarded to prevent the internal emptiness caused by the draw of troops in Jiayuguan to be taken advantage of by the enemy.
The old man was extremely regretful when sending someone to report the letter. He was likely to be unable to participate in their next war against Tubo, but he was optimistic about the war.
At least on his side, he gathered many Tibetan soldiers along the way, and there were also many Mongolian soldiers who surrendered. He also had a guerrilla under his command, led a Tibetan soldiers to kill the thousand households of Weilat. Now he has sent a messenger to send merits and war reports to the country from Guazhou.
In fact, how much ability a general can really play in a war depends mainly on the court. The baggage and rewards are given, and there is no need to be restrained. It is easy to stab a country to kill him before he can poke a hole in the sky. The difficulty lies in letting someone with ability sit in the position he should sit.
The supplies that were not full of food after three days of going to the expedition have never given enough rewards. The military pay was owed until he had just received the salary from the autumn of the previous year, and he still had his own hands and feet. Even if the military technology is so powerful that it is in heaven, what's the use of?
Dayun saved the siege from the death and injuries of the army, but his affairs had not been reported back to the court. However, General Tong Deng had given Dayun a brand new barbed robe in private, and promised to successfully meet with Shuai Qi, so he would specifically ask him to pick two of the best war horses from the battle.
Dayun happily led his troops to camp in the west of the city and went to disguise the siege army.
After all, there are thousands of miles apart. Whether it is Dayun or Tong Deng, they know that it is not reliable for multiple troops to fight together. They cannot expect Qi Jiguang's army to attack Tubo from behind. Even if the news can be delivered to Qi Jiguang, it is a matter of saying whether it can be delivered to Qi Jiguang.
The biggest reliance on attacking Tubo is still them. No matter whether Tubo takes the bait or not, they have to act here first.
A few days later, Dayun received the news from the city. The defenders on the city found smoke from cooking fires on the grassland in the distance. Tong Deng Shangcheng used his divine eyepiece to find signs of small groups of cavalry.
Even though he relied on his broad vision to capture the enemy, Dayun led the rider around that night and almost got confused, but he still couldn't find anyone. The next evening, he confirmed to the city that there were only more than ten enemy riders, and he became ruthless at night.
The two hundred flag troops were divided into four groups. Everyone was wearing wooden sticks and a face towel in their mouths. They touched in the direction they had discovered in advance. Even if they sprained their ankle in the snake cave, they couldn't scream until they found out that the enemy could not remove them. Then they took twelve heads back.
Immediately afterwards, an isolated caravan appeared on the official road, and Dayun was put into the camp and acted well.
Acting has nothing to do with wisdom, but the Ming army knew more than Tubo. In the heart of Tubo Ma Heima, the Ming army did not know the truth about the first-line business journey of Tubo Hami over the years, and pretended to be a merchant without any flaws.
But Mingjun knew that the situation of Hami Ma Heimaba was said to have been in the situation. The two cities had no trade routes for many years, and all the caravans coming from Tubo were robbed and killed by Hami.
Even if this trade route is abandoned, how could there be no businessman who knows how to come?
The so-called merchants carefully investigated the situation of the Ming army in Dayun Camp and learned that the besieged by Jiayuguan was the garrison of Jiayuguan, with only more than 600 troops, and it was difficult to capture Hami in a short time, but there were not many remaining defenders in Hami. If this continues, the city will definitely be captured.
They happily paid back to Tubo.
