If they can successfully capture Jiayuguan, they can form a siege of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. It will also be a huge threat to Rouran behind them. They can also spy on the wealth of Qingfeng's northwest frontier. If they can be more logical
The dynasty borrowed the Bloody Plateau, and when the two combined, the west and northwest of Qingfeng will all be reduced to a rustic world. Xibu Jiasha naturally understands the benefits of this. If that is really the case, the glory of the great god
It will definitely illuminate the breeze. For a devout believer, there is nothing more tempting than this.
"Huobimu, what are the casualties in Hanqingjiamo?" Looking back, Xibujiasha said to his lieutenant.
Huo Bimu said in a deep voice: "Nearly 10,000 troops were lost. The opponent's medium and long-range weapons were not only powerful, but also sufficient in number and orderly. Under the command of the opponent's general, they completely covered the area from 100 meters to 300 meters under the city wall.
meters. And when our soldiers pass through this death area, they will be covered by their arrows. Moreover, the city wall is ten feet high. Even the best warriors cannot guarantee that they can succeed.
Climb the wall."
Xibu Jiasha also nodded. He naturally understood this truth. Since his side's large siege equipment could not pose a threat to the opponent's medium and long-range attack weapons, when attacking, Sashan's army was basically exposed to the breeze.
Under the attack. And the commander of the opponent, Bian Zhongxing, was obviously a talent. He laid out layers according to the range and power of various medium and long-range weapons, forming an attack pattern with several waves. A hundred soldiers were finally able to climb
There were only a dozen people on the city wall. When the exhausted soldiers faced the soldiers from Hetao who were recharging their energy, they basically had no power to fight back.
"Is there anything else to say?" Sibu Gaza asked doubtfully.
Huo Bimu quickly said: "Commander, the Western Region Allied Forces are showing signs of retreating. They are obviously worried that we are deliberately weakening their strength."
Sibu Gaza smiled bitterly. This was not a worry, but it was the fact. As a soldier, he did not like or even hated using this method to weaken the opponent's war potential. But His Majesty the King had a life, and he had no choice but to do so.
I disagree. Besides, the deputy general in front of him is the son of Agathus, so he can't say anything else. Looking up, he can see thousands of soldiers from the Western Region Allied Forces attacking the city. In theory, their combat effectiveness is very high.
Yes, but their current performance is really insulting to their title of soldiers. The soldiers just ran under the city wall and were shot by the opponent's bows and arrows, and they immediately fled back. As a result, after one round, the losses of their soldiers were less than
One tenth.
"When they finish this round of attacks, let's call it a day." Sibugasha waved his hand and said. After a pause, he turned to Hobimu and said, "Is this your teacher?"
"The teacher is reading a book in the camp right now. The teacher said that after the commander-in-chief finishes today's battle, he is going to play two games of chess with the commander-in-chief." Huo Bimu said.
"Oh? I happen to have this idea too." Xibu Jiasha laughed and said, "Huo Bimu, I will leave the war here to you."
If we talk about Sashan's national preceptor, probably only a few people know about Sashan. But if we put it another way and ask who the Sani sect's chief priest is, then it can be said that everyone in Sashan knows about it.
. Sashan founded the country based on religion, and implemented a system of integration of politics and religion. The king also served as the pope, and the person who was under one person and above ten thousand people was Lengye, the high priest of the Sani religion.
This is an old man in his fifties. Although he is more than ten years younger than Sibu Gaza, his body is obviously not as strong as Sibu Gaza, who was born as a soldier. It is just that he is mentally strong, but he is even better.
.He is currently sitting in front of the chessboard, watching the chess played from China on the table and thinking deeply.
Xibu Jiasha frowned slightly: "The High Priest's chess skills have improved again. Although I have repeatedly attacked, I have always been unable to break through the High Priest's final line of defense."
Leng Ye smiled slightly: "After all, this is my base camp. Although I am not good at military affairs, the resources I can mobilize here are far better than yours. As long as you can stick to the position, don't seek merit but seek no fault, and don't be greedy.
If you don't advance rashly, Commander, even if you have strong troops to suppress the situation, you can't defeat me."
Sibu Gaza smiled and said: "Since the frontal attack has been frustrated, I just have to find another way."
Leng Ye said nonchalantly: "The commander-in-chief wants to find another way, but how do you know if I still have a trump card? Although the commander-in-chief occupies the front, I have the right people and the right place at the right time. Besides, I have studied carefully.
In this chess game, your accomplishments are no worse than yours, Commander-in-Chief. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for Commander-in-Chief to succeed at this moment.”
"It seems like all I can do is fight hard?" Sibughasha said with a smile.
"Choosing the wrong war at the wrong time and in the wrong place will have its difficulty magnified at least several times. As long as the rear area on my side is not in chaos, even if the commander has a million troops, he will not be able to win in a hurry.
My commander's position." Leng Ye said calmly.
Xibu Jiasha was stunned. He put down the chess piece in his hand after a long time. Looking at Leng Ye's slightly pale face, he said after a while: "The high priest still firmly opposes this dispatch of troops?"
Leng Ye nodded: "I have never concealed my opinion. But His Majesty the King is too stubborn and cannot listen to my persuasion at all. Marshal, you must not agree with this dispatch of troops in your heart, right?"
"
Sibughasha was silent for a moment: "That's true. But His Majesty the King's words also make sense. The mysterious east is a mysterious place where milk and honey flow everywhere. It is the place that the prophet has always longed for. As a believer in God,
It is our responsibility to spread the light of Shin to the entire continent."
"I'm afraid the commander-in-chief has missed something, that is, His Majesty the King wants to wash away the shame of the past. The late King Hardy died in the battle at Jiayuguan Pass, and more than ten years ago we touched the dust here again. His Majesty the King is
In his prime, he is a master of great talent and strategy, so naturally he cannot swallow this bad breath." Lengye smiled bitterly and said: "As a loyal believer of Sani God, I also agree with the words of His Majesty the King. But now it is obvious that I am not sending troops.
The best time. Although Qingfeng is weak, this is just their court. And their four powerful families are still very strong. And now in order to resist the pressure of the Paradise Alliance, they have united together. But waiting
In the past few years, after they have eliminated the threat of the Elysium Alliance, a civil war will definitely arise for the central power. At that time, it will be a great opportunity for us to break through. If we can attack from two sides through the Bloody Plateau, we can at least seize it.
Half of the rivers and mountains of Qingfeng. Now, it is just a waste of power."
Sibu Jiasha did not refute, because he also understood what Leng Ye said. But as a minister and a soldier, he must obey orders unconditionally. Even if the order is wrong, the same is true. His Majesty the King belongs to the great god Sani.
The Messenger is the bright guide of all Sani believers. The authority of the Pope is absolutely unquestionable.
Leng Ye sighed and continued: "But what His Majesty the King said makes sense. If Qingfeng is left in civil strife for a few more years, then even if we can capture half of Qingfeng's territory, this half will already be in tatters. Besides, His Majesty the King has already
Now that we have a plan, this battle is not impossible, but I am just worried."
Sibu Gaza looked stunned and asked curiously: "Is the high priest worried that the Obsburg Empire will sneak attack on our back?"
"If we delay here for too long, it's hard to say it's not possible."
"I believe that although the concerns of the high priest are very reasonable, the current Sashan Dynasty is different from the Sashan Dynasty back then. The battle in Terence City back then would have been impossible if His Majesty the King was not young and energetic, and there was a traitor informing
, Suganev may not be able to win so easily. Moreover, we were competing with the Maurya Dynasty in the southeast for control of the Kartel Desert, and in the north we were in a stalemate with the Western Region Allied Forces. The forces that could be mobilized were extremely limited. But now, our Sashan
The national power is already booming, and the number of people under its rule has been equal to that of the Obsburg Empire. Although it is slightly inferior to the Obsburg Empire, what happened back then will definitely not happen again. This time the army left the country, His Majesty the King also personally
He led an army of 200,000 to guard the western part of the empire in order to guard against sneak attacks by the Obsburg Empire."
"What about Rouran? If Rouran suddenly attacks, how will the commander face it?" Leng Ye dropped his head and continued to ask.
Sibughasha laughed: "Rouran lost 50,000 elite cavalry in the battle with the Haotian tribe in Hetao last year. This was a rare defeat for Rouran since Kipchak Khan succeeded to the throne. These nomadic barbarians have always been punished.
, now we are at war with Haotian, and they still want us to continue fighting like this for a long time, and both sides will suffer in the end. They will not add insult to injury before the winner is determined. "
Leng Ye nodded: "What the high priest said is absolutely true, but..."
Xibu Jiasha Yiqi: "What else does the high priest have to worry about?"
"I'm not afraid of the handsome man's jokes. In fact, what I'm worried about is the Qingfeng Empire's revenge in the future." Leng Ye hesitated for a moment and then said: "I don't know why. In my heart, I just don't want to go against the Qingfeng Empire. I stepped on it.
This piece of land in Jiayuguan makes me feel particularly uneasy. However, I have never understood where this uneasiness comes from. However, my discussion with the commander just now made me suddenly understand. It turns out that what I am afraid of is...
This will be the next revenge of the Qingfeng Empire."
Xibu Jiasha frowned: "Is the high priest worrying too much? Not to mention that the Qingfeng Empire is now in pieces and is about to be destroyed. If they cannot survive this level, I am afraid that even the nation of China will disappear completely in the future. And even if
If they can survive this, what can they do to us? With their ancient empire that has been torn apart, why do they have to retaliate against us? I think I, Sashan, have a strong army now, with tens of millions of people under my rule, and dozens of heroes under my command.
Ten thousand, and if we are united, even if he has millions of troops, there is nothing he can do to me."
Leng Ye shook his head: "Although I don't know much about military affairs, I also understand that military strength is not the only factor that determines the outcome of a war. I think that when Sashan was founded, there were only a few thousand people and three hundred soldiers. But in the
Under the leadership of Suhadiya, the great messenger of God, we defeated enemies ten times and hundreds of times more powerful than ourselves countless times, and finally established such a huge dynasty. And the art of war is said to be more valuable than more. Qingfeng History Book
According to records, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, swept across the Celestial Empire with only 30,000 soldiers. Hundreds of years ago, the Shimeng people, a nomadic people in China, had only 20,000 troops in their Western Expedition, but they swept across the entire Central Continent.
and the Western Continent, and fought all the way to the coast of the sea before returning home. Shi Meng's Western Expedition lasted only three years, involving hundreds of battles, destroying more than 200 countries, and beheading 30 million people, but the final loss was only a few thousand.
But even such a nomadic nation, which was accustomed to fighting, faced the Central Plains Dynasty, and even with all its might, it could not stop the Tang Empire's troops, and was eventually completely exterminated."
Xibu Jiasha said nonchalantly: "There is such a thing in the history books. But at that time, the central and western continents were mostly dominated by city-states and small countries. But now our national power is more than a hundred times that of those small city-states.
Times? Moreover, the current Qingfeng is completely different from the Tang Empire at that time. Now they have been corrupted by their so-called Confucian culture and have completely lost their style of dominating the world, and they have lost their spirit of bloodbath. To be honest
, I really hope to fight against the Tang Empire, which was the invincible one in the world, to see whose sword is sharper."
Although Xibu Jiasha was ordered to storm Jiayuguan, he did not place any hope on breaking through the city and killing the enemy at Jiayuguan. That would be too insulting to the opponent's wisdom. After all, Bian Zhongxing said that he was also a famous defensive general in the Qingfeng Empire. As a famous defensive general in the Qingfeng Empire,
A veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, he no longer has unrealistic illusions about the battlefield like those young people who have just entered the battlefield. And he himself spent more than ten wasted years in Jiayuguan. Even though
He has full trust in his own talents and the capabilities of the army, and he will not imagine that he can easily win the world's most powerful pass. What he places more hope on is what he calls a different approach.
Under the order of King Agathius, Sibu Jiasha was fully responsible for the war on the eastern front, while the high priest Lengye was the supervisor. After careful planning, Sibu Jiasha attacked on three fronts: two light and one dark. The main force was two
One hundred thousand people and one hundred thousand allied troops from the Western Regions marched towards Jiayuguan in a mighty manner, attracting the attention of Hetao. The army of their ally Luoxue Dynasty, led by General Tumu Shang, attacked Qingning Road from the south.
.As long as the Bloody Plateau is captured, Sashan can swoop down from the Bloody Plateau, cut off the connection between Jiayuguan and Hetao in one fell swoop, and attack the Song family's territory on Yizhou Road.
Of course, the main force of the Scarlet Plateau has left the country, but there are still nearly 100,000 troops, while the Luoche Dynasty has only 600,000 civilians and no more than 120,000 soldiers. Although it can put greater pressure on the Scarlet Plateau, they alone can think
Occupying the Bloody Plateau, even Sibuqasha himself couldn't believe it. So Sibuqasha specially prepared a secret move.
