Chapter 1291 Big Dipper High
The two armies faced off the city.
Kucha King Su Fadi re-emphasized the title given to him by the Western Turkic Khan, and Shi Jianmohe Shilifa.
Shi Lifa, when the Western Turks were granted titles to the kings of the Western Regions, this move undoubtedly showed their determination to fight against the Qin Dynasty, and even wanted to use this to reawaken the Western Turkic tribes and the anti-Qin intentions that they had originally joined the Western Turkic countries.
Sixty thousand Kucha troops, the troops were descending for ten miles.
The monk Xu, who changed the city and received reinforcements from the Yili princes, is now full of confidence. The arrival of 15,000 reinforcements from the Yili princes has now brought the Qin army to 20,000, although there are not many real officials from the three yamen.
"The latest information, Liu Heifu, the commander of the Cavalry Commander of the Cavalry, has sent troops from Wulei and is under the capital of Kucha. Asanami of Wulei City has shot three thousand Turkic cavalry in the Bow Moon tribe, and Asanuser of Nishi City has led three thousand Turkic cavalry and is requested to be the left and right vanguards."
On the top of the city, Xiao Yu smiled and said to the princes, "Su Fadi's backyard has caught fire. Now the capital is empty. Although Pei Xingyan from Yanqi, Cheng Yaojin from Gaochang, Yiwu, Qiemo, Dunhuang and other counties are still on the way, Liu Heifu, who set out from Tiemen Pass, has already joined forces to the capital of Kucha. As long as we drag Su Jingde here, we don't have to fight him, he will be defeated."
Since Xiao Yu was the prime minister after all, this time he came to help the commander of the coalition army, and Monk Xu also handed over the replacement of command to him.
Facing Su Fadie's 60,000 army, Xiao Yu did not have the same plan as the monk Xu. Even if he had 20,000 people in his hands, he still ordered not to attack without authorization.
After getting reinforcements, the city can be replaced and the situation is becoming more and more beneficial to the Qin army.
"Mr. Xiao, just give me five thousand men and three thousand cavalry. I will attack Kucha camp at night tonight, and then the infantry will come out of the city to respond, and you can defeat the Kucha army."
Xiao Yu still shook his head.
"No need to take risks, we just wait for the good news here."
"But what if the Kucha people want to withdraw?"
"Retreat? If he retreats, you will lead troops to follow him and restrain him."
It has to be said that there is still a big difference between civil officials and military generals. Monk Xu only had four hundred cavalry in his hands, and all dared to fight more than 10,000 troops. He also attacked twice and won twice. Now Xiao Yu has 20,000 people in his hands, and several big cities and hundreds of villages in his hands, but he refused to attack.
Under the city.
The Kucha soldiers came over and cursed for a long time, but the city gate was closed and no one responded.
Su Fadi was also a little helpless.
"The Qin people are weak and dare not respond. This is because they are afraid of our Kucha army and are preparing to attack!"
An officer reminded the king that the city was replaced as the second largest city in Kucha, and the city was high and strong. Especially after the Qin army occupied this city, it also made many defensive preparations.
"The Qin people have strong bows and hard crossbows and magical cannons, so it is not easy to attack."
Su Fadii didn't know, but what choice could he have now? It's impossible to withdraw back to the capital again as it was difficult to fight. This attack was a risky move. He couldn't wait until the Qin army was transferred to fight on the two fronts, so he could only gamble and try to solve the city change on the western front. But he was still one step later. The princes of Yili arrived in advance, which increased the difficulty of regaining and replacing the city countless times.
But if you don’t attack, you won’t be able to do it. Now you can retreat, so you can only sit back and wait for death.
"attack!"
The Kuz soldiers sounded the horn.
The Kucha musician who was originally good at music was now acting as a trumpeter.
When Xiao Yu saw the Kucha people start to attack, he shook his sleeves and went straight to the city. He did not stand on the dangerous wall. Before leaving, he called Xiao Jin and patted his shoulder and said to Monk Xu, "Captain Xiao is my nephew. He used a team of people to stay in Dashi City, but he went to more than ten cities and hundreds of villages in a row. It was very impressive. Commander Xu should use it."
Monk Xu just smiled when he openly wanted to promote and take care of his nephew.
"Mr. Xiao is afraid that Mr. Xiao is not aware that Team Xiao is famous in my cavalry camp. He is very capable. Without Xiao Gong's words, I will use him. His merits have been listed on two pages in my military merit book."
"Very good. I will give the commander of the city defense directly to Commander Xu and Team Xiao. It's a mess here. I'll go back to the city to drink tea and play chess."
"Give me a visit to Mr. Xiao."
The purple-robed boss Xiao Yu leisurely went down the city tower. Monk Xu turned around and looked at Xiao Jin, "I really didn't know you were Xiao Xian's brother before."
"St-brother, and I have reported it, the above knows."
"I didn't say you were hiding it, but you have a prime minister who is the uncle. Why don't you walk around earlier? This is related. With your ability, you can be a commander or even commander long ago."
"You are a fifth-grade commander with the imperial equipment, but you are also here to be a battalion commander? I want to be promoted to a higher level with my own ability."
Monk Xu laughed.
"Okay, I'm tired enough these days. I'll leave the city defense to you today. I'll give you three groups, but I have to guard it for me."
"Please rest assured the commander."
"Okay, then I'll go to bed. I'll send someone to take over you after dark."
"Commander, can you let Zhang Shigui be my deputy? Although this person is a Dunhuang migrant, he is indeed capable and has always performed well this time."
"It's okay to give it to you. I know this guy. I used to serve in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty and later got involved in a rebellion case. Is it possible for you to suppress the person who was once the governor of the Duke and the General, can you suppress it?"
"Even if he is a tiger, he has to lie down under my hands."
"Okay, then let him be your deputy. If something happens to him, you have to take care of it."
"clear."
The team responsible for the fifty cavalrymen now has to manage three regiments and six thousand people at once, and be responsible for the entire city defense.
King Xiao Yan is not afraid.
If Monk Xu dares to attack 10,000 for 400, then he will defend the city with 6,000 and defend 60,000, and there will be no problem.
"Zhang Shigui, now you are the commander of the Second Regiment."
Zhang Shigui, who arrived at the city, was still holding a bow in his hand, but inexplicably, he turned from an archer to a commander of two thousand people.
"What are you doing while standing? Don't have confidence or courage?"
Zhang Shigui smiled.
"In the end of the Great Age, I dared to rebel and never knew what the word "fear" was."
"Can you bring me the second group?"
"I used to be the general manager of Li Tang's horse army, in charge of the entire cavalry unit, and only two thousand city defenses, why can't I take good care of it?" Zhang Shigui laughed.
"Okay, the second group is handed over to you. Lao San, Zhang Lao San."
"Captain Xiao, I'm here." Zhang Laosan replied with a smile.
"Last third brother, from now on, the Third Regiment will be handed over to you, and you will be the leader of the Third Regiment."
"Me? I can't do it." The third brother shook his head quickly. He was just a archer under King Xiao Yan. He had only taken care of nine bows and cavalry, and now he was asked to take care of two thousand, and he was really unsure.
"You can do it, but you can't. I'm just a team leader, and I will take over the important position of city defense. I have to take charge of 6,000 city defense soldiers. I also serve as the leader of a regiment. You two are in charge of a regiment for me. Don't think that this is a good thing for promotion and wealth. Even if you win this battle, you can't really be the leader. So, now you are not rewarding you for merit, but for you, this is a task, a military order, and if you don't have any bargaining, you will execute it immediately."
The third brother thrust his chest, "Zhang San obeyed the order!"
After Xiao Yu entered the city, he integrated all his troops with Monk Xu, and 20,000 people formed ten regiments. He divided them into three shifts to defend the city in turn, one shift three regiments, and another regiment as the reserve team.
Outside the city, the Kucha army rushed towards the city like a tide with the sound of horns.
