Han Hai Tang Ergui

Zhang Xianyu predicted many things, such as the fact that the mobilization ability of the Bwehi Dynasty is really weak.

This is not only because the recruitment channels of the old guards have been destroyed, but also because the rulers of the Buwehi Dynasty, known as the Draimu, are actually Persians, and they cannot quickly mobilize the big cannibals to the battlefield.

Well, it may not be very accurate to say that they are Persians, but they are generally considered to be people from Persia, not belonging to the Persian ethnic group, but belonging to Persia geographically.

This is actually a barbarian from northern Persia, who controls the two geographical concepts of Mesopotamia and Persia.

What is the equivalent, it is equivalent to the Qing Dynasty, they not only entered the customs and controlled China, but also took Mongolia.

The Saman family, which now bears the name of Persia but whose ruling center is in the river, is equivalent to Ge Erdan's Junggar Khanate.

Especially after the Bwehi Dynasty swallowed up the Persian capital and Khorasan, this is more like it.

In the past ten years, the most important task of Shah Shah-Aduddawrai, the ruler of the Bwehi Dynasty, is to create a character that he is also a Persian, and to make the Saman family controlled by Da Zhou Known as the shameless person who took refuge in the Taohuashi heretics.

Moreover, when Zhang Xianyu captured Semnan, Aduly Dawley was not in Baghdad, but in Shiraz.

Shiraz is located in the southwest of Persia, near the Persian Gulf, about [-] miles away from Semnan. It was the capital of the famous Persian Empire in history, that is, the Persian Empire of Cyrus I and Darius I.

Aduly Dawley even used Shiraz as the palace of the Bwehi dynasty, and Baghdad as a place of work, not a constant residence.

In this way, he strengthened the Persians' sense of identity with the Bwehi dynasty in order to swallow the entire Persian capital and Khorasan.

The current military strength of the Bwehi dynasty is about 3 standing guards.Belonging to Adud. Arrival confidants, basically from the Delaimu people, who were entrusted to various places to guard the vassal army of 4 people.It is used to defend the four armies in the direction of the river with [-] people.

In addition, there are 2 Turkic guards responsible for controlling Baghdad, and the rest are warriors who need to be mobilized on a large scale. These people are called Mutwar internally, which means volunteers.

From the perspective of superficial strength, the core army of the Buweixi dynasty has about 13 people, and there are also 30 to [-] warriors, which is far superior to the Zhuxia coalition with only [-] main forces.

However, almost all of the 6 soldiers of the Zhuxia Allied Forces could be mobilized, but it was difficult for the Buwehi Dynasty to mobilize all of them, because he still had to garrison various places.

However, Zhang Xianyu suppressed the impulse in his heart, and the decision not to let his officers go straight to Rai (Tehran) in the snow was correct.

Because not only there were [-] Buwehi dynasty's food army in the city of Rai, after receiving the news, Adud Daolai also led the [-] guards to Isfahan in the wind and snow.

Isfahan is also an important Persian town, only about 20 miles away from Rai and Semnan, and all the troops can arrive within [-] days.

In the city of Isfahan, the long-faced, thin, gray-black goatee, black-haired and thin-eyed Adud Daolai was inquiring about the situation of the coalition forces in the river through various channels.

As the leader of the Buweixi family, Aduly Daolai attached great importance to the information from Hezhong.

Not only did he know that Guo Yu'er was controlling Saman Persia, he also knew about Zheng Fan, Jin Fan and other vassal states, and he even knew very well that the Peach Blossom Stone Empire in the East had been revived.

But even so, he was still a little unprepared for Zhang Zhou to launch the Western Expedition in such a tough way. Aduly Daolai even used various intelligence to think that the Hezhong coalition forces that captured Semnan were a pioneer.

Because this is very reasonable in terms of time. How can the main force be able to run more than 20 miles in more than 1000 days.

Well, this guy, like Wang Zhao, the lord of Wang's Koryo, has no idea how involved the Central Plains warriors have been. He is still using the ordinary troops he encountered to estimate the combat effectiveness of the five generations of warriors.

After predicting that only [-] to [-] vanguard troops would arrive, Aduly Dawlay sent his cousin and finance minister Ali to Baghdad to recruit soldiers, and at the same time summoned the Buwehi family and even the entire German army in Isfahan. The Laimu people Wu Xun assembled the army.

The reason why he wanted to do this was because the Delaimu people were actually a Manchu-style bandit force group, and Aduly Daolai was the Huang Taiji of the Delaimu people.

But this Huang Taiji is still in its early stages, and has not succeeded in laying down the highest decision-making body, the Conference of Kings and Ministers.

Therefore, the current Bwehi Dynasty is ruled by a group of uncles, brothers and nephews of Aduly Daolai, and under these uncles, brothers and nephews, there are still a large number of delai Mu people who have meritorious deeds.

Historically, it was not until 979 that Aduly Dawley managed to take all the power of the Bwehi family into his hands.

Therefore, the 26-year-old Aduly Daolai has not yet collected everything. He must follow the old path of his uncle Mu Yici Daolai, and solve the problem of Saman Persia first.

Fortunately, it is now in the middle of winter, and Aduly Dawley still has enough time to dispatch troops.

. . . .

In the fourth year of Emperor Qianyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, AD 963, when the ice and snow disappeared, Zhang Xianyu left Zhang Xianxi and Guo Shouwen to guard Semnan with [-] soldiers and horses. go ahead.

At this time, Zhang Xianyu didn't know that Aduly Daolai had arrived in Isfahan to the south of him, and his main attention was still on Rai and Baghdad to the west.

Although Rai (Tehran) became the capital of Iran in later generations, it was not a very important city at this time, and its status was far below Isfahan and Shiraz.

If it weren't for the Buwehi dynasty fighting for Persia, it wouldn't have so many garrisons at all.

Then it can also be said conversely that Rye is a purely military fortress.

This city is of great significance to the coalition forces coming from the river, because after defeating Rai, the coalition forces will have a bridgehead to march into the Mesopotamia where Baghdad is located.

But for the Bwehi Dynasty, it is a bit delicate. The position of Rai is actually very embarrassing for Persia at this time. Sfahan and Shiraz.

But if you don't defend it, once the enemy seizes it, it can become a bridgehead for inserting into the Mesopotamia.

Therefore, in the fourth year of Qianyuan, on the tenth day of February in 963 A.D., Aduly Daolai, who reluctantly recruited some troops, impatiently raised 20 guards, [-] to [-] warriors, known as [-] , and began to go north to rescue the city of Rye.

At this time, the Allied Forces of Xia in Hezhong had just set up camp under the city of Lai, and the siege had just begun, and they were just warming up.

Then, the rear army, which was responsible for the safety of the luggage, slammed into the big food army from Isfahan.

The sound of shouting and killing came from the mountains and the tsunami. Dalidi, who was born in Yashawan, commanded more than a hundred soldiers, who were besieged on a hill and were desperately resisting.

He was the most unlucky, because the entire coalition army did not expect that Aduly Dawley was not in Baghdad, but in Shiraz in the south.

Therefore, it was unexpected that the food army could come so fast, and the first few batches of material delivery did not encounter any danger, which led to paralysis from top to bottom.

Fortunately, the 1000 civilians, more than [-] mules and horses, and more than [-] shi of food that Dalidi escorted were not suddenly blocked on the way, but were blocked in a small military supply called the Left Wing Jiasanbao by the coalition forces. Material transfer station.

Dalidi looked around and saw that the big food warriors in blue and black robes were lined up in a neat line, advancing unhurriedly towards the hill where he was. Hu drums were beating.

Dali knew that these big cannibals were not in a hurry to kill them, but to securely surround them in this small hill and prevent them from rushing out.

Because Dalidi was entrusted by Zeng Zheng, the guardian of Jiasanbao, to rush out to warn the army under the city of Lai.

But the big cannibals don't need to think about it, they want to block the news, wait for them to capture the third fort, and calmly arrange traps to cut off the army's retreat, so they don't want to kill them all, but try to be safe.

An Sicun took off the iron helmet on his head, wiped off the cold sweat from the winter, and sighed, "You don't need to ask for blessings, but you can't avoid disasters!" '

Fifteen years ago, after he captured Shiguo City with King Zheng Bai Congxin, he took root in Shiguo City, which was renamed Xinzheng King City.

He was allocated a large house with more than forty houses. He became the Marquis of Zheng Yu, the left guard of Zheng Fan. He had eight wives and concubines, all of whom were beautiful. Seven Aboriginal sharecroppers farm.

It can be said that he lived happily for 15 years and was very stable in the days that he could not even imagine in Han.

Even in the fourth battle of Shiguo City, when he was besieged in Heyang Town for several months while guarding Bai Congxin, it was not as dangerous as it is now.

Because at that time he was sure that the Persian army could do nothing to them, but now, more than 100 of them were surrounded by thousands of big food troops, and there were probably tens of thousands of big food troops surrounding this hill.

The big cannibal can't defeat the army, but it is still very easy to kill more than a hundred of them.

An Sicun gritted his teeth, the appearance of his lovely wife and young son flashed in front of his eyes, but this made him more determined.

Living in a foreign land, Xiajun and Yimin, he had no room to back down unless he persisted, so he approached Dalidi.

"Da Baihu, you choose ten people, rest now, wait to rush out in the early morning, and report to everyone."

Dalidi took a look at the junior officer Zheng Fan who had a Sogdian appearance but insisted that he was Han, and nodded silently.

The big cannibals don't know their combat power yet, it's okay to rush out a dozen people, but the rest will probably die here.

An Sicun drew out his long dagger, which was made of fine steel from Tiangongyuan.

This thing is a good thing in the river. Not only can it be cut and eaten, but it can also be used to break through the rotten armor of the barbarians in the river. As long as you rush over, you can kill an enemy with a few stabs. It is An Sicun's god who never leaves his body. Bing Baojian.

After stroking it a few times with nostalgia, An Sicun, together with the scabbard inlaid with gold and inlaid with jade, handed this magic weapon to his most valued captain behind him, Chen Sanlang from Yingchun Castle in Wanli City.

"Sanlang, this knife is for you, you can choose one of my two new concubines, but brother Xiao is still young, so you can take care of it.

Tell Brother Zeng Zheng that he must keep my property. "

An Sicun already has the intention of dying, but his family cannot ignore it. His eldest son, An Yixiao, is only 13 years old, and it will be at least four or five years before he can take care of the family.

And once he died, most of the concubines would definitely be dismissed, even if they had heirs, it would be difficult to keep them, so it's better to be a favor and let Chen Sanlang help him take care of the eldest son's future military career.

As for Zeng Zheng and Zeng Dalang, An Sicun traveled with him in the river back then, and he was rarely someone he could trust.

Chen Sanlang's eyes were red, and he was about to say something when a bearded soldier next to An Sicun interrupted him.

"You, Chen Sanlang, are good at riding and shooting, and your future is limitless. If you die here, who will help take care of our fellow heirs?"

As he said that, the soldiers who were usually close friends with Chen Sanlang came over one after another to entrust the funeral.

In addition, An Sicun also pointed out a soldier who was only 17 years old but was also skilled in bow and horse, and rushed out with Dalidi and the others.

On that day, the Dashi Army besieged more than a hundred soldiers of the Allied Forces of Xia on the mountain from both sides. An Sicun gathered the armor and divided them into three squads. Each squad of soldiers wore three layers of heavy armor and guarded the mountain pass in rotation.

More than [-] people from the Great Food Army attacked in turn. The battle lasted from noon to midnight, with more than a hundred casualties, and they couldn't make any progress.

In the early hours of the morning, Dalidi and Chen Sanlang, who hadn't been on the battlefield at all, and a dozen elite cavalry rushed down from the mountain suddenly.

There were more than a hundred cavalrymen who were watching the night and came to chase after hearing the news. Dalidi and others turned around and shot them with strong bows. One man and three horses walked them slowly for several miles. Chase again.

Aduly Daolai watched all this not far away, he didn't care about these people breaking through to report, because he didn't plan to go to Lai City to attack the Zhuxia coalition army.

There are still more than 200 miles to go to Lai, which will make him a tired soldier.

He was going to take down Jiasan Fort, and cut off the Zhu Xia coalition army's retreat, so that the Zhu Xia coalition army had to turn around quickly and attack the strong fortress he had already built, so as to wait for work.

However, Aduly Daolai looked at the hill where An Sicun and the others were staying and the Jiasan Fort in the distance, which was a bit beyond his estimation.

Yesterday, 3000 and [-] troops were dispatched to attack Shanbao and Jiasanbao respectively. It’s okay if Jiasanbao couldn’t be defeated in a hurry, but [-] people at Shanbao attacked a hundred or so people. ?

. . . .

Under the city of Rai, Zhang Xianyu couldn't help but patted his forehead. It seemed that military affairs was indeed his obvious shortcoming. Professional matters should be left to professional people.

Zhang Xianyu quickly found Hu Guang, Cao Bin, Shi Shouxin, Zhang Xiantai, Lu Ketu, Cui Han and other generals, and informed them of the news.

Hu Guang was quite calm, he smiled contemptuously, "There is still enough food in the army for [-] days, the guard of Jiasanbao is Zeng Zheng, he is from the family of Wen (逋) in Liugubu, Liangzhou, and he is cautious in running the army. , capable of attacking and defending well, with hundreds of elite soldiers and [-] civilians under his command, the Great Food Army will not be able to capture Jiasanbao within at least fifteen days."

"Then return to the division immediately, and use our Dinghai Qingqi to cover the battlefield first, so that the big cannibals can't understand the situation. When they attack Jiasanbao until they are exhausted, they will attack suddenly."

Luketu has won the true biography of Lu Sanlang and Bai Congxin's ruthless soldiers. He even planned to let Jiasanbao fight hard for about ten days, attacking when the big cannibals least expect it.

"You can fight like this!" Cao Bin also nodded in agreement, and then he looked at Zhang Xianyu and asked, "His Royal Highness, how many people do we want to return to the teacher?"

Now there are only about [-] soldiers under the city of Lai, and the rest are civilians.

However, there are [-] large food troops and an unknown number of Persian conscripts in the city of Rai, and the Xia coalition forces do not have an advantage in numbers.

"Leave 3000 people for me." Hu Guang was even more ruthless, "The rest of the army should return to the division!

Someone thought about it, and it is very likely that the king of the Bwehi family, Adud Daolai, was originally in Shiraz or even Isfahan, so he came so quickly. To defeat this main force of the food, It's impossible to have less troops. "

Zhang Xiantai thought for a while, then nodded at Zhang Xianyu, "All deployed, we can fight like this, but the general asked to take the troops and horses from the headquarters to be the last ones to go, no matter what, we have to teach the big food army in the city of Rai a lesson."

. . . .

Dazhou Qianyuan four years, 963 AD, February.

After receiving the news that the Dashi Army suddenly appeared behind them, the Allied Forces of Zhuxia in Hezhong immediately decided to return to the division.

And according to Hu Guang's request, only [-] pawns were left, and all the rest returned to the division.

At the head of the city of Rai, the Great Food Guard was overjoyed when he saw that the Zhuxia coalition forces had withdrawn in a 'hasty' way, and almost the whole army returned to the division. This must be the Shah's attack from the direction of Isfahan.

The guard suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and waited for a day before carefully leading more than [-] people out of the city to attack Huguang. He knew the combat effectiveness of the Han army outside the city very well.

But even though he was so careful, good luck did not favor him. He dispatched 5000 troops to besiege Huguang with [-] people, and fought for two hours. In the end, he injured more than [-] people, but he didn't even hit a small formation of the Han army. collapse.

Just as the defender of Lai was debating whether to press the entire army, the thunderous sound of horseshoes came.

It turned out that Zhang Xiantai led [-] cavalrymen and waited more than [-] miles away for more than a day. After Hu Guang ordered his people to set off beacon smoke and raise a big red flag to call for them, he began to return with his entire army.

As soon as Zhang Xiantai arrived, he first ordered [-] lightly armored hussars and unarmored cavalry archers to create momentum, as if tens of thousands of cavalry had returned.

In the sky full of dust, the Dashi Army was frightened into chaos, and then Zhang Xiantai personally led two thousand heavy armored cavalry to pounce on the commander of the Dashi Chinese Army.

The cavalry of the Great Food Army had long been attracted by the hussars and cavalry archers, and did not notice Zhang Xiantai's brave cavalry.

The hundreds of cavalry and [-] infantry guarding the commander of the food army were unable to withstand the charge of the cavalry carrying horned crossbows. They only used one assault and rushed directly in front of the commander of the food army.

However, Zhang Xian was too fast, and the commander of the Rai City Food Army was even faster. Before Zhang Xiantai arrived, he retreated under the protection of the guards.

Seeing this, the garrison of Lai City thought that the commander was killed in battle, and immediately collapsed. Hu Guang immediately started to fight back. The garrison of Lai City was defeated and thousands of people were killed.

. . . .

On the side of Jiasanbao, Aduly Daolai personally oversaw [-] soldiers storming Jiasanbao. The attack lasted for nearly ten days. Several sections of the city wall were demolished, but Jiasanbao was still unable to be captured.

With the return of the Zhuxia coalition forces, the light cavalry of the coalition forces began to block and cover the battlefield continuously, and the "vision" of the Dashi army was constantly oppressed.

As a new and rising regime, the Buwehi Dynasty still has many experienced generals.

On the eighth day of the attack, the generals of the Buwehi Dynasty, Muhammad Fasher, and Adud Daolai's third brother, Fahr Daurai, both realized the danger.

Under their persuasion, Aduly Daolai decided to start adjusting the strategy tomorrow, focusing on besieging the third fort, and preparing to deal with the returning Zhu Xia coalition forces after the main force recuperated.

But all of this was a bit late. In fact, at this time, the Zhuxia coalition army had returned to the division and was less than [-] miles away from Jiasanbao, and the vanguard was even only [-] miles away from Jiasanbao.

On the eighth day of March, seeing that the food army no longer attacked Jiasanbao, they were also worried that Jiasanbao would not be able to hold on, so the coalition forces began to show up.

The two armies first launched a contact battle of cavalry units on the vast plain more than ten miles away from the main formation.

In these small-scale battles, the Zhuxia allied forces equipped with horn bows, ring lock armor, horse lances, excellent horizontal knives, and Hexi war horses continued to win, and the Dashi light cavalry were killed and suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing the ferocious cavalry of the coalition army, Adud Daolai immediately ordered the whole army to retreat into the built military stronghold, using fortifications such as rejecting horses to neutralize the threat of the coalition cavalry.

The coalition forces didn't come forward either, so Zhang Xianyu sent Lukhtu to lead [-] cavalrymen to cut off the cannibal's food road from Isfahan.

Good guy, the coalition forces cut off the food road of the big cannibal, and the big cannibal also cut off the food road of the coalition army, and the two armies began to confront each other on this large flat land.

Five days later, the big cannibals couldn't hold back anymore, because although they still had enough food, the river upstream of the army village was dumped by the coalition forces with a lot of human and animal feces, and they could no longer drink safely.

On March [-]th, Dashi's [-] troops took the initiative to line up in the wilderness, and sent people to send a letter of war, demanding a decisive battle with the coalition forces!

Of course, Zhang Xianyu had to refuse such a request. Now the coalition army can still use food for three days, so don't worry.

Aduly Daolai did not expect Zhang Xianyu to be so tolerant, so he could only madly send people not far from the coalition camp to insult him.

Most of the soldiers of the coalition army can understand Turkic, even if they don't understand it completely, but everyone can understand the few national curses that come and go.

Cursing, cursing, the big cannibal began to insult Zhang Xianyu and began to scold Zhang Tie, insulting my majestic Six Dharma Sect Supreme Heaven as a demon from hell.

The soldiers of the coalition army were extremely angry, and they were so angry that they scolded me, Emperor Zhou, Grassland Khan, and Shah Shah, and Zhang Wushangtian was even more unacceptable than scolding their parents.

Zhang Xianyu was waiting for this time. On March [-]th, when he saw that the soldiers were all angry, he immediately ordered the whole army to cook at the fifth watch and eat up all the food.

By the way, he also asked the soldiers to smash the iron pot, pull down the wooden fence of the military camp, and pour out all the clear water in the water bag, which was an act of breaking the boat.

The soldiers had long been furious. Seeing that the sage's own sons An Wang, Shu Wang, cousin Jin Wang, Dinghai Grand Duke Luketu, etc. were willing to live and die with them, their morale went straight to the sky.

At exactly the right time, the army arrived at the predetermined battlefield, and the [-] Zhuxia coalition army faced the [-] cannibal army.

Zhang Xianyu resolutely handed over the command to Cao Bin, and personally led [-] elite cavalry as Cao Bin's personal guards, who could also go to the battlefield if necessary.

At this moment, Cao Bin also took over the command without hesitation. He saw that the big cannibals hid the cavalry in the infantry formation. Obviously, after the cavalry suffered a loss in the battle some time ago, they did not dare to release the cavalry casually.

So Cao Bin immediately ordered Luketu and Cui Han to lead [-] light cavalry each, and kept galloping back and forth around the food army formation, shooting a wave of arrows from time to time to affect the morale of the opposing army.

Luketu and Cui Han are both fast fighters, they are like cunning wolves everywhere to test the weakness of the big cannibal.

When the army is well-organized, elite soldiers with many bows and crossbows just can't be frightened, and when they are tempted, their hearts flutter, and those without many bows and crossbows rush up and beat them violently.

Aduly Dawley had no choice but to move the infantry back and forth, arrange the elite soldiers as far as possible to the outside, and let the warriors retreat into the central army to prevent them from being frightened and collapsed.

This is the moment Cao Bin was waiting for. What he wanted was a quick battle. Seeing that the cannibal elite soldiers were being used to spread the pie in front of the army, he immediately ordered Shi Shouxin, Liu Tingrang, Li Jixuan and others to bring the heavy armored soldiers to the battle. Go to war.

The big cannibals also have crossbow arrows. The caliphate's guards have always had special bow and crossbow troops. Although the quality of the crossbows is not as good as that of the big Zhou, the lethality is still good.

But now they were spread out, unable to form an advantage in concentrating fire. As a result, they were attacked by the elite heavy armored soldiers of Zhuxia, and suffered heavy casualties in the rain of arrows all over the sky.

Aduly Daolai was in a hurry. Seeing that the heavy armored soldiers of Zhuxia were far away from the formation, he could only order the hidden cavalry to assist in the attack.

Little did he know that this was exactly Cao Bin's intention. These heavy armored warriors from the Xia Dynasty were the elite of the elite, far more elite than the cavalry. All of them wore more than two layers of heavy armor. Nearby, he attacked fiercely with Mo Dao and Dagao.

The [-] cavalry and [-] infantry of the Persians besieged the [-] heavy armored soldiers. They fought for half an hour, but they couldn't break the formation at all.

Aduly Daolai knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would be doomed. He could only put all his eggs in one basket and put all the warriors on top, trying to use the superiority in numbers to overwhelm the heavy armored warriors of Xia.

Cao Bin saw in the distance that the cannibal warriors were dispatched, and immediately returned the commanding halberd to Zhang Xianyu, and said with a big smile:

"Your Highness, the big cannibal is finished, and now I don't need to command the minister, let's attack the whole army!"

Zhang Xianyu took over the golden halberd that symbolized the commanding power, and ordered the flags of the Six Dharma Schools to be hoisted on the left and right, as well as the golden swastika flag on the silver and white background and the golden sun shining on the silver and white background, which symbolized the coming of the supreme heaven.

"Children of the Supreme Heaven, warriors of the Great Zhou, kill all those heretics, and let us dedicate the head of the King of Food to His Majesty the Emperor!"

The soldiers of the Allied Forces of Xia all around shouted long live three times, and then the whole army launched a fierce attack. Even Zeng Zheng from Jiasanbao selected [-] warriors to go out of the city to help in the battle.

Although An Sicun on the hill had already died in battle, the remaining [-] or so warriors rushed down the hill bravely.

The golden drums flew to the sky, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the battle lasted for about two hours. The entire army of the Dashi Army collapsed, and was driven away by the Zhu Xia coalition forces like geese, and retreated to their army stronghold. .

There are still two or three chapters left, and the book is coming to an end.The Western Expedition and the subsequent world will be described in about ten chapters, which may be updated intermittently.The new book is also slowly being prepared and is expected to be launched in early September.
