The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 457 Restoring the Homeland of the Han Dynasty
Yipidulu Khan didn't know what a telegraph was, and he didn't understand how terrifying the transport capacity of the train was.

He thinks according to the standard model of the cold weapon era, and here in Yizhou has become his own delicious prey.

The Tang army on the front line had no news and had no time to return for help, while the Tang army in the rear was far away thousands of miles away.

The right time, place and people are all on my side, this advantage is mine!

According to the thinking of the cold weapon era and the ability to march and communicate, it is true that the Western Turks have the advantage.

But the problem is that Li Yunze got in touch with Li Er who was far away in Chang'an City by telegram that day.

Li Er made a decision in the shortest possible time, and arranged for Cheng Yaojin to lead a support army to set off immediately, and also appointed Li Yunze to command all the support troops.

At the same time, the defenders stationed in Lanzhou, Guazhou and other places also mobilized urgently, and immediately looked for trains to reinforce Yizhou.

All the reinforcements don’t need to bring extra logistical materials, just weapons, armor, war horses, etc. Anyway, there are all kinds of logistical materials here in Illinois.

All the freight trains on the entire railway line were out of service, and the materials inside were thrown away and only loaded with people and horses and went straight to Izhou.

At noon the next day, two thousand reinforcements from Guazhou arrived in Yizhou.

After dinner, the two thousand reinforcements stationed at Jiayuguan arrived by train.

On the third day, thousands of reinforcements from Ganzhou and Liangzhou arrived.

At this time, the Tang Army's regular army has exceeded 5000 people, and the follow-up soldiers and horses are still on the way of rapid reinforcements.

Almost all the soldiers and horses that the entire Longyou Dao could mobilize arrived in Yizhou within four to five days, and the total strength of the regular army quickly expanded to more than [-].

At this time, the soldiers and horses sent by Yipi Dulu Khan to surprise Yizhou had just crossed Zheluoman Mountain, and they were still dozens of miles away from Yizhou.

On the morning of the sixth day, the whole army had a hearty meal, and immediately set off under the leadership of Li Yunze, headed straight for Zheluoman Mountain.

When the Western Turkic people encountered this Tang army, the nobles who led the team were really frightened.

The information he got was that there were definitely less than 1 regular Tang troops in Izhou, but the Tang army in front of him was at least tens of thousands!

So many Tang Jun, could it be that they flew from the sky?

In terms of the technological level of Datang in this era, it is no different from the flying ones.

Thousands of miles away, it can be arrived in a few days, almost like flying.

The generals asked Li Yunze how to fight, and Li Yunze's reply was very simple, "I didn't see that the opponents were going to run away, the cavalry all went to chase, and the infantry stepped forward to clean up the battlefield."

The people of Western Turks are not stupid. Is it the same thing to face thousands of Tang cavalry and tens of thousands of Tang cavalry?

Seeing the cavalry of the Tang army, almost all wearing breastplates, approaching slowly like the Great Wall of Steel under the sunlight, they chose to retreat very conscientiously.

It's just that it's not easy when you come, and it's even more difficult when you leave.

The Tang army is not the Song and Ming armies that are mainly infantry. The Song and Ming armies can only be defeated if they win.

The title of Great Tang Iron Cavalry is really Megatron.

Tens of thousands of Tang troops started chasing and killing them in battalions.

Especially after Li Yunze announced that all the captured in this battle belonged to himself, the morale of the Tang army was full of fighting spirit.

The opponent was too weak, and Li Yunze had no interest in fighting, so he took a Maza and put it on the ground to watch quietly.

He didn't know that he had experienced this kind of scene hundreds of times, and he was already used to it.

The chase started in the morning until the white clouds in the sky were stained with red clouds, and they chased Tang Jun all the way to Zhe Luoman Mountain, and then returned one after another.

Li Yunze, who had been sitting for almost a day, got up and moved his hands and feet, and arranged for manpower to count the results of the battle and lead the soldiers back to the station.

He himself led a Tang army and escorted a group of Western Turkic prisoners to leave.

Like the rest of the country, the train station in Illinois is built outside the city.

When it was getting dark, Li Yunze passed by the train station, just in time for a troop carrier to arrive.

Cheng Yaojin, fully clothed and holding a horse, beckoned his family to bring his horse out of the car, and was about to get on the horse when he saw Li Yunze.

"Where are the Turks?!" Cheng Yaojin's words were full of solemnity.

Li Yunze turned his head to signal the Turkic people who were being escorted away not far away, "Isn't this what it is?"

Cheng Yaojin took a closer look, then simply took off the helmet, walked over to examine it carefully and inquired.

When he returned to Li Yunze's side again, Cheng Yaojin's expression was already very ugly, "I've traveled thousands of miles, I'm afraid I'll see devastation before I come here in time, and you've settled the matter already?"

"Yeah." Li Yunze gave a thumbs up, "As expected of a veteran, you can tell at a glance."

"The old man understands what a fart!"

Furious, Cheng Yaojin directly smashed his helmet on the ground, "My original intention was to lead troops to gallop thousands of miles in a few days, to break out of the siege of the city in danger, and to achieve a great cause that will go down in history!"

He took a few deep breaths, and Cheng Yaojin held Ma Qian tightly with both hands, his eyes turned red, "You told the old man that the fight is over, is it over?!"

Originally, Cheng Yaojin was annoyed because he lost his position as the general who pacified the Western Regions because he was outdone by the junior Su Dingfang.

Now that I finally got an opportunity, I wanted to use the glory of galloping thousands of miles to help in a few days to go down in the annals of history.

But I was full of confidence when I came, but it turned out to be a waste of time.

His mood at this time is naturally conceivable.

Looking at Cheng Yaojin who was full of anger, Li Yunze said lightly, "You can catch up if you come a day earlier, who made you come late?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was stunned on the spot, but his son Cheng Chumo was indignant, "It's all your fault for the trains of your business company, they stop at every turn on the road, if you can come straight all the way without stopping, you will definitely be able to catch up. "

Li Yunze simply rolled his eyes at this kind of sand sculpture, "Your brother Cheng Chuliang has a brain, why are you so stupid? Are you really brothers? Since you don't like it, then don't sit down. When you return to Chang'an City Don't take the train, walk back by yourself."

Cheng Yaojin was much more shrewd than his stupid son. First, he kicked away Cheng Chumo, who was still arguing, and then stepped forward, rubbing his hands and turning his face into a smiling face, asking, "Help me."

Li Yunze raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise, "You want to lie about your military achievements? Say you won the battle this time?"

It is not a big deal to lie about military achievements, it has been commonplace in all dynasties.

The problem is that Li Er, who is now the emperor, is a general on horseback, and he knows all the methods in the army.

Cheng Yaojin would not dare to fool Li Er.

Because you know it won't work.

"It's all here." Cheng Yaojin simply spread his hands, "I don't want to just go back like this, please help me."

Li Yunze rubbed his chin, looked at Cheng Yaojin for a while, "You send a telegram to your Majesty, saying that you want to be a Second Division General."

"It's not right."

Cheng Yaojin shook his head repeatedly when he heard the words, "General Li Guangli of the Second Division will end badly, don't say that."

"Then go and impeach Su Dingfang, saying that he has a problem with commanding operations and that he didn't leave enough defensive force for the logistics line. Then he said that he is willing to serve as Su Dingfang's deputy general and take the southern line to pacify the Western Regions."

The so-called southern line is the southern line of the Silk Road. The entire western region is basically bounded by the Tianshan Mountains. The north of the Tianshan Mountains is the northern line of the Silk Road. It takes Cheshi Luntai, which will be the Beiting Duhufu in the future. .

The southern line is south of the Tianshan Mountains, going to the Loulan of Kucha, which is the later Anxi Duhu Mansion.

The north and south lines are mainly distinguished by Yumen Pass and Yang Pass.

Su Dingfang concentrated his main force on the northern line, with the aim of defeating the Western Turks first, so that the southern line belongs to the legend.

Li Yunze followed up and said, "Su Dingfang has already hit Suiye, and then he will go north to attack the Western Turkic lair in Jinshan. No one will move to the south for the time being. This is your chance to make meritorious service."

Cheng Yaojin thought about it carefully, then turned around and went straight to the carriage, where there was a transmitter specially equipped by Li Er for him.

Unsurprisingly, when Li Er learned that the Turkic people who raided Liangdao were defeated, he immediately agreed to Cheng Yaojin's proposal, and said that the follow-up reinforcements would not turn around and go back, but would be transported directly by his commander to attack the south. Wire.

The reinforcements from Longyou Dao and the reinforcements from Chang'an City amounted to more than [-] people.

In the past, if an army of this size wanted to fight in the remote Western Regions, at least hundreds of thousands of civilians would have to be mobilized to provide logistical support, because the distance was too far.

But now, Tang Jun's troops in the Western Regions are approaching 20, but the logistics are still more than enough.

The power brought about by technological upgrading can be seen from this.

Cheng Yaojin, who finally got the chance, didn't even make any contact with the titular general Su Dingfang, and when the follow-up soldiers and horses arrived one after another, he hurriedly led the troops into battle.

The Southern Route Army first captured Shanshan, and then attacked Yanqi Kingdom (Korla) westward along the Tianshan Mountains.

Speaking of Yanqi, this is really an old friend of China.

As early as the Han Dynasty, they were the vassal states of Maodun Chanyu, and they fought against the big Han for hundreds of years.

After that, he fought with Qianliang, Qianqin, and Western Wei.

During the Sui Dynasty, he took refuge in the Western Turks and became a vassal state of the Western Turks.

Tang Jun's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, far beyond Yanqi Kingdom's ability to resist.

Cheng Yaojin not only attacked the Yanqi Kingdom by himself, but also sent Cheng Chumo to lead troops south across the Hanhai (Tarim Desert) to attack the Qiemo Kingdom and Jingjue Kingdom, and it is said that he even captured a queen.

This time Cheng Yaojin changed his previous cautious style, and the aggression advanced like a fire.

After destroying the Yanqi Kingdom, they quickly marched west along the oasis passage between the Tianshan Mountains and the Hanhai Sea, and wiped out the Kuqa Kingdom, that is, Kucha, where the future Anxi Protectorate was located.

After just staying for a while, he went west again and wiped out Gumo, Wensu and other small countries one after another, and finally conquered Hotan with the south of Hanhai, and Cheng Chumo from Khotan and other countries joined forces with Shule City.

So far, all the four Anxi towns that had been lost for many years have been recovered.

Li Er didn't mention Tian Khan, and directly ordered all the prisoners to be transported back.The fields here will be distributed to the people who migrated from the inland.

Not only these small countries, but also the miscellaneous tribes all over the place were wiped out by Cheng Yaojin, who was eager to make contributions.

Shule's position is very important, and Suiye City in the north is the two gates guarding the Western Regions.

In later generations, Shule had a name called Kashi.

At this point, Cheng Yaojin was almost at the end of his battle, because the logistics supply line from Li Yunze was already thousands of miles away.

Thousands of miles without railways is a disaster in this era.

Cheng Yaojin originally planned to fix it, but Li Er was stimulated by his battle report, and directly came to the micromanagement, asking Cheng Yaojin to go south and attack the big and small Bolu kingdoms.

And this big and small Bolu country is called Kashmir in later generations.
