Qiming 1158

Chapter 1458
In the end, this defeated soldier seemed to be mentally ill, and while screaming and screaming, he ran wildly.

Seeing how shaken the military's heart was, Xiao Pugu couldn't bear it anymore. He bent a bow and an arrow, and shot him to death with one arrow.

It's easy to shoot this man, but it's not so easy to fight the Ming army that he said is as strong as the devil.

Xiao Pugu was only disturbed in his heart and did not dare to move forward, so he stayed in Quxian, and while sending people to continue to probe the east for news, he inquired about the news from the local Uighur refugees and defeated soldiers.

In the end, the content of the news he got from these people was similar. Generally, the Ming army was invincible and could not be killed at all. Their confrontation with the Ming army was like seeking their own death.

The more I listened, the more mysterious it became, the more I felt uneasy and worried.

Xiao Pugu, only Shali, was also depressed. How could it sound like this, why did he feel that Xiliao was definitely going to die, and there was no way to survive, so what tactical strategy was going on?
In the face of the attack of the Ming army, everyone surrendered directly, so what else?
His subordinates asked him what to do next, and he didn't know what to do after thinking about it.

Hit, dare not.

I wanted to run, but I was worried that when I went back, I would be looked down upon by Yelu Pu, and I would not be laughed at by Xiao Duolu.

Although before the Ming army arrived, more than 5000 cavalry from the Eastern Karakhan Kingdom came to support him, which gave him a little more confidence, but the situation still did not change, and he still did not dare to attack.

His subordinates advised him to either attack or withdraw, just stay in Quxian and do nothing. It is not a long-term solution. Even if he wants to defend, Quxian is not a strategic place. There is no dangerous place to defend. He should lead the army to the dangerous place. The place is the best.

However, Xiao Pugu was just like being caught in the sand, and he didn't want to go anywhere, so he could only stay in Qu Xian.

The subordinates were worried, but soon they no longer had such worries.

Su Haisheng's cavalry vanguard general Chen Qixian heard that the Western Liao reinforcements had arrived at Quxian and then stagnated. Shari's retreat.

He led the Ming Army cavalry to attack the back road of the Western Liao Army, just in time to destroy a large-scale transportation and supply convoy, intercepting countless grains, grass and luggage, which was indeed a great harvest.

After the war was won, Chen Qixian voluntarily released some of the prisoners and asked them to report to Quxian.

The prisoners fled to Quxian in a panic, and told Xiao Pu Guzhishali the news, letting him know that the [-] Xi Liao and Karakhan coalition forces were cut off by the Ming army and lost their food.

For a while, Xiao Pu Guzhi Shali was even more flustered and at a loss. He could only follow the advice of his subordinates and try to defeat the Ming army with a superior force of 5000 people.

If you don't leave now, after five days, the rations will be exhausted, and everyone will really die here.

There is no better way to get through the crisis right now, Xiao Pugu only accepts this suggestion, and then leads the army to fight.

It is a pity that although he has a good personal force, he has no experience in commanding troops, let alone military talents. In the face of five thousand Ming troops, which numbered less than his twenty-five thousand troops, he commanded indiscriminately and successfully destroyed the original. Combat effectiveness of the Western Liao cavalry.

Needless to say, Chen Qixian felt the combat effectiveness of the Western Liao cavalry. They were skilled in bowing and horses, and were good at cavalry and archery. If it weren't for Xiao Pugu's strange tactics of focusing on breaking through a little, maybe they would have been able to compete with the Ming army. Tangled for a while.

It's a pity that one general was incapable of exhausting the three armies.

As the war drew to a close, Chen Qixian led the personal guards to charge straight into the central formation of the Western Liao army, pierced through the central formation in one fell swoop, and charged directly towards Xiao Puguzhishali.

Xiao Pugu was so frightened that he ran away quickly, but Chen Qixian's personal soldiers shot the warhorse in the crotch with a crossbow.

Although the combined forces of Xiliao and Karahan were good at fighting, they were also feudal troops. When the main general died in battle, the remaining people who were still alive collapsed, and were pursued by a smaller number of Ming troops seven or eight miles away, with heavy casualties.

After the Battle of Quxian, Chen Qixian stayed in Quxian for a few days, waiting for news of the main force.

After Su Haisheng led the army to attack Hamili from Shazhou and successfully conquered Hamili, he divided his troops into two groups, attacking the direction of Dushan all the way, and attacking the direction of Hezhou all the way.

Now the army in Hezhou has achieved a great victory, and the army led by Su Haisheng himself has broken through Yangji Bali, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Yili.

The two armies marched hand in hand, and the Uyghurs in Xizhou did not have any resistance.

And further south, Jiang Liangping led the army to break through the resistance of a small number of enemy troops all the way, and the soldiers pointed directly at the good end. The biggest enemy along the way was the natural environment and the changeable climate.

As for the hostile military power dominated by the Eastern Karakhan Kingdom, there is really nothing that can stop him.

Although the Ming army had a relatively clear understanding of the land in the Western Regions, when they actually marched on this land to fight, they still fully realized the harsh environment here.

It will be hot during the day, but it will become very cold at night, and there is a drought and lack of water. The goal of the Ming army in each stage of the march is to go to the next water source to fetch water and replenish water. The key is to solve the problem of replenishment. let let.

To advance in this environment is indeed a test, which makes Su Haisheng and other Ming generals feel that it is not easy for the Han and Tang people to open up the territory of the Western Regions.

Compared with the harsh natural environment, the enemies living in these lands seem to be ineffective.

At the beginning, the Ming army would be vigilant about their attack, suspecting that they could survive in such a harsh environment, and they must be very good at fighting, and they must be very brave in fighting, but the Ming army unilaterally beat them. .

Therefore, fighting and fighting, the generals of the Ming army generally had a "dugu and begging for defeat" mood.

They felt that it was a bit boring to unilaterally hang and beat the enemy along the way, and they finally encountered fools who dared to attack them directly.

After hitting the back, the Ming army couldn't even meet the resisting enemy troops along the way, and finally caught one or two tongues. During the first interrogation, they learned that everyone was afraid of the Ming army Tianwei, and they all fled westward, running super fast. Can't catch up.

The so-called elite and good-fighting armies of the Eastern Karakhan Kingdom were just like paper sheets in front of the Ming army, and they could not stop the march of the Ming army at all.

So Su Haisheng and Jiang Liangping had inexplicably complicated emotions almost simultaneously.

The Ming army had strict training regulations. Before joining the army, they had to undergo long-term training according to a unified training mode. After passing the assessment, they could officially join the army. Therefore, every soldier completely mastered all the skills of his or her arms.

This means that even if they are just recruits, they cannot compete with the so-called recruits of the traditional feudal army. They have sufficient military skills and are completely different from ordinary people.

The strength of the Ming army has been so strong that it only needs officers to command the army to crush them step by step to win. As long as everything is done in accordance with the standards and specifications in military textbooks, 90.00% of wars above five can be resolved smoothly.

Only 5.00% of the remaining wars require the subjective initiative of the generals, which is the time to test the generals’ personal command skills. However, this battle for the recovery of the Western Regions seems to belong to the 90.00% five-textbook war.

Su Haisheng and Jiang Liangping had many emotions.

They think of the early era of the Victory Jie Army and the Restoration Army. At that time, it was still necessary to fully consider the personal command art of the generals. At that time, Su Yonglin showed them the art of personal command many times, which made them emotional.

However, when they gradually grew up and took charge of themselves, they unexpectedly discovered that the enemies they faced had gradually become more and more different from them.
