Qiming 1158

Chapter 1459 The Xiliao army has withdrawn

The soldiers of the Ming Army carried out high-intensity military training and military assessments day after day, year after year, in order to have a strong combat capability to deal with strong enemies.

But now they find that after they have a strong combat power, they can't meet a strong enemy.

In fact, this is also an absolute Versailles idea, because there are still strong enemies, and if the Western Liao cavalry is not against the Ming army, it can still exert a strong combat effectiveness.

For example, on the western battlefield at the same time, the [-] Western Liao elites led by Xiao Weilia beat the army of the Khwarizimo country to the ground and fled.

The army of the Khwarizm state was led by the famous general Aya'erbei, who gathered [-] troops and tried their best to fight against the Western Liao army.

A Ya'er did not use all his strengths, and even used his own elite cavalry to attack the Xiliao army, but he still could not change the situation. He was caught by the Xiliao army and killed.

The 3 troops of the Khwarazm Kingdom died, those who fled, and those who were captured were captured. The whole situation was miserable, and even less than [-] people fled back to the capital alive.

Il Arslan, the king of Khwarizm, was terrified, and he didn't know what to do in the kingdom.

Seeing that the Xiliao army was marching straight in, he was about to attack his capital and arrested him and killed him. In a panic, he even prepared to kill his own woman first, and then his son and daughter, so as to save them from being attacked by the west. The humiliation of the Liao Kingdom.

The ministers and generals under his command also ran and cried, and only a few of them were willing to stay by Arslan's side to protect him, which made him somewhat relieved.

But the Xiliao army was only five or six days away from his capital, and he was unable to raise enough troops for defensive operations, which made him despair.

Then, on the tenth day of November in the tenth year of Hongwu's tenth year, Arslan suddenly learned a piece of news that made him a little astonished.

The Xiliao army withdrew.

When it was only three days away from the capital of Khwarazm, the Xiliao army suddenly made a 180-degree turn, withdrew, and rushed all the way towards the way they came.

As if their enemy was not in the capital of Khwarizmo, but in their own rear, or in their old lair.

How is this going?

The sudden good news made Arslan completely incomprehensible, so that he could not be happy when he was supposed to be happy.

He immediately sent people to investigate the matter.

Ten days later, on November [-] of the tenth year of Hongwu, he learned the reason why the Xiliao army retreated so quickly.

The Ming army is threatening Hu Siyuan, the capital of Western Liao, in an all-round way.

It is said that the national army has completely broken through the Uyghur territory in Xizhou, and basically eliminated the Uyghurs in Xizhou, which was a vassal state of Xiliao. .

Now that the Western Liao Dynasty was in a hurry, they recalled the [-] elites under the command of Xiao Orilia, who were crusades against the Khwarizimo country, and asked them to quickly return to Hu Sior's ears, otherwise the capital of Xiliao would have to consider relocating.

This was an almost devastating blow to the prestige of Xiliao, and it was an unbearable weight for the monarchs and ministers of Xiliao.

And since the Khwarazm country has been defeated and is facing the danger of subjugation, it must have learned a lesson, so I will not say anything else, go back to the capital to rescue the capital!

"Emperor Ming...he didn't break our covenant? We...are we saved?"

After getting the exact news, Arslan slumped on the ground, covered his face with his hands and howled. After crying for a long time, he finally calmed down.

The Ming Kingdom did not abandon the covenant, the Ming Kingdom did not abandon their allies, the Ming Kingdom really came, they came!

Arslan rejoiced and spread the news on a large scale to let his people know that Khwarizm was saved, everything was not over yet, they were saved!
It's night, the whole city is celebrating, people full of surviving emotions hug each other, congratulate each other, laugh and cry and cry, and then eat and drink, as if to take all the fear and pain they have experienced these days. It's like they're all digested.

Although they suffered heavy losses, and although they almost wiped out the country, they survived in the end.

In contrast, Xiao Orila, who was hurriedly embarking on the road of return, had the exact opposite emotion.

He didn't expect such a thing to happen when he won a big victory and was about to break through the capital of Khwarizmo.

The army led by his youngest son was wiped out along with the Uighur army, his youngest son died, and Xiliao was facing a serious existential crisis.

To be honest, he didn't like the younger son very much, he felt that he was frivolous and unbearable, but he admired his eldest son Xiao Duolu more, and felt that he was the steady heir to the family.

But after all, he was a son and a blood relative, and he died like that. He was also very sad, and he was full of anger towards the people of the Ming Kingdom, and his heart was full of violent killing intent.

He drove the army to march by force, and demanded the army to travel as fast as possible, and strongly demanded that the kingdom of West Karakhan along the way should provide them with sufficient food and supplies, so that they could return to Husi Orer as soon as possible for defense.

At the same time, he also received the order of Yelu Pusuwan, and asked the kingdom of Xikarakhan to send troops to follow the army of Xiliao to fight together to defend Xiliao and surround Hu Sior's ears.

At the same time, he also complained very much about Yelu Pusuwan, and felt that there was something wrong with this woman. Why did he send his youngest son, who had never had the experience of commanding an army alone, to carry out such a terrifying task?

Doesn't this clearly mean that their family will be downsized?

What is the difference between letting the eldest son who has experience in commanding the army not to choose, but going to choose the younger son who doesn't care about the door, and not using Wang Jian but using Li Xin?
But the matter has come to this point, as Yelu Dashi's close comrade-in-arms and Yelu Pusuwan's father-in-law, he must lead the troops to quickly return to defense, protect Hu Siyuan's ears, protect the national foundation of Xiliao, and prevent Xiliao from becoming rootless duckweed.

He hated, but his hatred had to be resolved after the Ming invasion was resolved.

While he led the army to hurry up, Yelu Pusuwan also fell into an unprecedented military, political and trust crisis.

On the one hand, it is the impact brought by the military failure, and on the other hand, it is also the loss caused by her mistakes in employing people as the leader, which makes the government and the public full of complaints and incomprehension towards her, and calls for her to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.

The proud queen was furious at this.

She hated Xiao Pugu, who was not useful, and Xiao Duolu, who didn't stop her strongly, and even more hated the group of bureaucrats and dignitaries who saw the wind.

When they made their own achievements, they tried their best to tout them, but when they faced difficulties, they did not hesitate to criticize and ridicule her, which made her in trouble.

But I have to say that the only bargaining chip she has now is the [-] elites guarding Hu Siyuan's ears, and the [-] elites led by Xiao Weilia. Only by relying on them to defeat the Ming army can her crisis be resolved smoothly.

Can you win?

she does not know.

The strength and offensive momentum of the Ming army completely exceeded everyone's expectations. The natural barrier of the Thousand Mile Gobi did not seem to hinder the Ming army at all, and their logistics seemed to be very strong.

No one can guarantee that they are already dead.

Therefore, judging from the previous defeat of [-] cavalry, many officials have proposed to let Yelupu move the capital westward to temporarily avoid the edge. They said that this would further expand the logistics supply line of the Ming army and make their supply more difficult.

Maybe it can have the effect of subduing soldiers without fighting.

But Yelu Pusuwan is not someone who doesn't understand the military at all.
