In the history of East Asia, no nomadic people can fight against the Central Plains for 500 years.

Over thousands of years, no matter how powerful the Huns, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks, and Khitans were eventually destroyed.

East Asia is said to be a fierce battle in China and a nomadic way, while Mongolia seems to be an exception now.

From the establishment of Genghis Khan, Mongolia has been strong for more than 400 years.

As the only nation that has conquered China now, Sengge and others have proud capital when facing Ganchao. Instead of being scared, they formulated their own strategies to teach Ganchao a lesson.

~~~~~~~

After discussing with the generals, Gao Huan came up with Sengge's intention and quickly came up with a response plan.

Sun Chuanting believed that if we wanted to force Sengge to fight to the decisive battle, we could only do two things.

If Sengge does not take action, Yarkand will be quickly controlled by the enemy.

Second, there will be no problem with the supply of food and grass for the military, and the army will be stationed in the Western Regions for a long time.

Mongolian tribes have backward productivity and rely on the weather to make a living, and have extremely weak disaster resistance. Tribal development relies on weather and pastures.

There are so many people in the Junggar tribe that it is impossible to hide for a long time. If they finish eating the grass in the ground, they have to change the pasture, otherwise the livestock will starve to death.

If the Gan Army was stationed in the Western Regions for a long time and did not leave, the Junggar tribe could not grazed normally, and the tribe would inevitably have famine.

By then, what you can't stand is Sengge and many tribes in Moxi.

At that time, the Zhungeer people had only two choices, either a decisive battle or a westward movement. No matter which path they chose, Ganchao would gain control of the Western Regions and the western Mo.

After discussing with everyone, Gao Huan adopted Sun Chuanting's opinion and decided to quickly defeat Yerkang, controlled by Sima Yi, and build up the military farms, posing as if he would not leave.

By then, Sengge would definitely be anxious and would take the initiative to come and fight to the decisive battle.

If the Gan army wants to quickly defeat Yerkang, it must have a thunder attack to capture Turpan with lightning speed and shock the cities in the Western Regions.

The current battle can be said to be a very critical battle.

The good battle in this battle made the city of Yarkand frightened, and it would inevitably surrender after hearing the news. If the battle was not good, the city would continue to resist, and the script of the war might follow the direction of the Sengge.

After the negotiations, Gao Huan first asked the Yarkand Prince Yaolevas to write a letter to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, and at the same time ordered Sun Chuanting to prepare for the attack.

That night, the letter was shot into the city. The city guardian Mooni received the letter. After reading it, he sneered and ignored Gan Chao's surrender.

Although the Gan army outside the city was powerful, Turpan City was reinforced and equipped with artillery. Mooni thought that even if there were really 200,000 Gan army, he would not be able to be defeated for a while.

The next morning, Moonie climbed the city wall. Looking around, there were dense tents of the army. Moonie knew that a fierce offensive and defensive battle was about to begin.

Three days later, the city still did not respond, and Gan Jun was ready to attack the city.

Because the journey to the Western Regions was long and the transportation was inconvenient, the Gan Army did not carry red cannons and could not directly trample the city, and then rushed in. Otherwise, the Gan Army would be easier to attack the city.

While waiting for the city's defenders to reply, Sun Chuanting was not idle. He took advantage of the night to dig the trenches under the city and prepared a large number of siege ladders and trenches.

On the fifth day of March, it is sunny and has a great view.

Gao Huan rode a horse and stood on a hill three or four miles away from the city, observing the enemy's city defense with a thousand-mile mirror.

The Western Regions have barren land and sparse population, and their manpower and financial resources are limited. The Yarkandian cities are naturally unable to compare with the big cities in the Central Plains.

In Gao Huan's shot, the enemy's city defense is really poor. It is just a turret that is more than two meters high, with a deep trench about three meters wide around it.

Such city defense is OK to defend against the looting of nomadic peoples, but it would be a bit of a joke to defend against the army in the Central Plains.

However, this cannot be blamed on the Yarkand people for not respecting themselves. After all, they have been separated from the Central Plains for hundreds of years and have not fought a war with the Central Plains army for too long, and neither side has understood it.

At this time, Gao Huan observed for a while, put down the Qianli Mile Mile, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you not replied to the city yet?"

Yaolevas, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said: "Report to your Majesty, Mooni's daughter married Sima Yi. He is a loyal Sima Yi and has never replied to me!"

Gao Huan didn't say much, "This Turpan is the gateway to the Western Regions. Sima Yi should indeed send a confidant to guard it, otherwise it would be too bad for morale when he meets my army. Haha~"

Sun Chuanting looked up at the sky, bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, time has passed, will you start attacking?"

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Since the time for Mooni to consider has passed, then start the war!"

When Sun Chuanting heard the words, he was shocked. He waved his hand and shouted loudly: "War begins!"

The horns of the mountain sounded excitedly. The Qian army, who had been waiting in line for a long time, immediately remembered the loud shouts and whistles of the officers.

The soldiers of Qian army lined up outside the range of artillery fire in the city immediately jumped down the trench in sequence according to the officer's instructions, and then advanced along the trench towards the city.

At this time, Mooni stood on the city, staring at the actions of the Qian army outside the city, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Instead of holding the siege equipment to press towards the city like the Junggar people and the Yuzi people, the Qian army jumped into the trench dug at night.

This was the first time Mooni saw this method of digging trenches to attack the city. When he saw that every trenches were filled with helmets, the soldiers of Qian soldiers were flowing in the trenches like flowing blood, slowly approaching the city wall, and then they instantly reacted.

"Not good! Fire up!" Mooney punched the wall and roared anxiously.

The Yarkand artillery soldiers on the city wall immediately ignited the lead line, and the artillery arranged in sequence began to roar "boom boom", and the shells roared out of the city.

The smoke filled the city, and Mooni was holding the walls and saw the shells hitting the ground, raising up the soil and forming a jump, but it did not affect the Qian army advancing along the trench.

Mooni was a little surprised and panicked. He watched Qianjun slowly approach the city wall and filled the trenches outside the city.

At this time, in the trench parallel to the city wall, a Qian army infantry was squatting in a trench holding a flintlock, carrying a square quilt, and hanging engineer shovels, kettles and gunpowder jars.

Mooni looked at the trench full of iron helmets, and knew that the Qian army was about to attack, so he quickly called out, "Mustrator, archer ready!"

In the tunnel, the Qian army soldiers squatted and remained motionless with muskets, allowing the city to bombard.

The Qian army general Li Benshen wore an iron helmet, hugged his waist, came to the front line, took out a bent shape, hid in the tunnel, and could observe the city defense periscope.

At this time, he observed for a while, then waved his order, "Transport the mortar and bomb the city wall first, and the infantry is launching an assault!"
