Chapter seven hundred and twenty second learn from each other's strengths
Turkic grassland, Wangting.
After the National War last year, due to the sudden withdrawal of Dalong soldiers and horses, the Turkic tribes who had fled far away migrated back to their familiar pastures with rich pastures.
This year's second heavy snowfall lasted for four days without letting up, and the snow is likely to show no sign of letting up within a day or two.
The queen and the little cutie, dressed in thick cloaks, braved the oncoming wind and snow and hurried towards the royal court under the watchful eyes of the royal tent guards.
After settling the troops under her command, the Queen immediately sent a message to the Turkic Khan Huyan Yunyao and began her meeting with the little fairy Huyan Yunyao.
His Majesty the Emperor of Jin and Princess Wanyanluoyue of the Kingdom of Jin have arrived.
"please!"
As soon as the guard outside the king's tent spoke, Huyan Yunyao's clear and melodious voice came from the king's tent.
"Golden Emperor, Princess, the Great Khan invites you."
The queen nodded slightly and led the little cutie towards the royal tent.
Things are different now.
The last time he came to the Turkic King's tent, he was still the king of a country, but now he has become the king of a subjugated country.
The Queen felt confused and confused, wondering if the little goblin would ridicule her unscrupulously.
Entering the royal tent, the queen instinctively glanced around.
Unexpectedly, there were no kings from various tribes gathered in the royal tent. Only brother and sister Huyan Yunyao were warming themselves over the charcoal fire in the royal tent and looked at the queen and her daughter who entered the tent.
.
Hu Yanyu stood up and saluted the queen.
"Hu Yanyu has met Her Majesty the Queen, but he didn't greet her from afar. It's rude."
The Queen smiled sadly and returned the gesture with her hands.
"The king who has subjugated his country, why should I be your majesty?"
Looking at the queen's sad expression, Hu Yanyu sighed softly: "Your Majesty, please sit down, little princess, please sit down."
"Thank you!"
Huyanjunyao looked at the queen who was kneeling opposite, and poured a cup of warm kumiss for the queen and the little cutie.
The Queen nodded slightly and took the kumiss. The little cutie smiled sweetly and said thank you to her aunt.
Huyan Yunyao sighed quietly.
"Dalong's offensive has exceeded our expectations. I didn't expect that the Jin Kingdom didn't last even a year. I wonder what will happen to me, the Turks."
The Queen held the warm wine in her hands to keep it warm, and glanced at the little cutie beside her: "The dragon's artillery is too powerful in attacking the city. Such a strong city wall, it only takes time for it to be turned into ruins under the repeated bombardment of artillery fire."
The problem.
Defending within a fortified city has become a joke in the face of artillery.
In addition, the ancestral land Wanyan Qingshan suddenly led the 70,000 remaining soldiers under his command to withdraw from the battlefield and flee far away, causing all of Dalong's forces to be concentrated on the siege.
With the remaining strength of our Jin Kingdom after the last national war, it is really difficult to resist their offensive.
Alas, what’s the use of talking about this when everything is dead!”
Huyan Yunyao picked up a piece of charcoal and threw it into the brazier. Her beautiful eyes looked at the Queen with a hint of guilt.
"Speaking of the issue of withdrawing troops, this Khan also has a lot of responsibility. We agreed to join forces to fight the enemy. After the cavalry from your ancestral land retreated, my Turkic tribes also withdrew from the battlefield of the Jin Kingdom.
Unless this Khan is treacherous, there is really nothing we can do.
The terrain of your Jin Kingdom limits the advantages of our Turkic cavalry too much.
Continuing to fight is tantamount to letting the men of my tribe die in vain. You and I are both the kings of the same country. I hope you can understand my difficulties and difficulties.
In this battle of the Jin Kingdom's rush to aid the Jin Kingdom, the casualties suffered by our Turkic ministries were less than the casualties of your Jin Kingdom's defenders, but nearly 60,000 troops were lost in the attack by the Six Guards of Dalong's new army.
above the battle.
In addition to the number of troops, more than 6,000 oxen were also lost.
Although the Fire Bull Formation was initially effective, later, under the obstruction of the dragon cavalry, the soldiers driving the cattle could not get close to the main siege infantry of the dragon and were intercepted.
If I don't order the withdrawal, once I am surrounded by Dalong's cavalry and attacked by infantry with arrow formation and artillery, I think I will suffer heavy casualties even if the whole army is not annihilated.
Compared with the dragon's cavalry, our military equipment is already at a disadvantage, and I really can't just watch them die in vain."
Looking at the helpless Huyan Yunyao, the Queen smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand. Now that the snow has fallen suddenly, the dragon's invasion of your Turks has to be put on hold. However, in the coming spring, it will inevitably launch a massive attack with thunderous momentum.
I wonder how you plan to defend yourself against the enemy?
This is the home ground of your Turks, and cavalry warfare is your specialty. I want to hear what you mean."
Huyan Yunyao slowly stood up and walked on the expensive carpet for a while.
"Avoid their sharp edges, seize the advantage of the terrain, respond to the enemy with harassment and warfare, and fight a protracted war with them.
Although Dalong has a million-strong army, the casualties in your battle with the Jin Kingdom are indeed not small. As far as cavalry is concerned, the six guards of the New Army, the Western Region Allied Forces, and the small number of cavalry from the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang combined can only
Half a million people.
Half a million cavalry is not a small number, but scattered on the grassland is actually just a drop in the ocean.
The reason why the Jin Kingdom was defeated so quickly was simply because they had the advantage of siege equipment and artillery.
However, on the grassland, although the power of artillery cannot be ignored, the losses incurred by cavalry during an attack are much more considerable than when the infantry guards are waiting to be bombarded by artillery.
After the national war last year, Ben Khan has been thinking about the pros and cons.
It is necessary to focus on the cavalry's assault battle to curb the power of their artillery to the greatest extent.
Speaking of which, after receiving your letter of abandoning the city and joining our grassland coalition forces, I have been thinking about an issue and want to make a mutually beneficial transaction with you that complements each other's strengths."
The Queen's eyebrows were slightly condensed and she looked at Huyan Yunyao in confusion: "What kind of deal?"
Huyan Yunyao knelt down and sat opposite the Queen again, leaning forward and staring directly at the Queen: "Given the way you abandoned the city and withdrew your troops without leaving any fur for the dragon, your armor and equipment should have all been left empty.
?”
The Queen was startled for a moment, and seemed to understand what Huyan Yunyao meant.
"Do you want to equip your Turkic cavalry with these armor weapons?"
"Yes, you also know that Turkic smelting technology has always been our shortcoming. Compared with your Jin Kingdom and Dalong, it can be said to be a world of difference. Now I, Turkic Erlang, have nearly 60% of the troops in return with leather armor and cloth.
A is the main one.
Facing the powerful crossbows and hard bows of the dragon, the defense power of these leather and cloth armors is really pitifully low.
Now that your military equipment is largely vacant, you might as well trade it to me, the Turks.
Improving the combat power of my Turkic tribesmen will also help the remnants of your Jin Kingdom to save themselves, what do you think?"
The queen looked at Hu Yanjunyao's clear and beautiful eyes and nodded without hesitation.
"No problem, I can trade the armor and swords I gathered back from cleaning the battlefield to you Turks at any time. What do you plan to trade for?"
"There are 130,000 war horses. My Turkic horses have already grown into excellent war horses. However, in the national war last year, our young Turkic warriors suffered a lot of losses. It is better to trade these horses into the hands of old, weak, women and children."
Give you the elite infantry of the Jin Kingdom.
We complement each other, put aside all previous grievances, and work together to fight against the great dragon.
I have accumulated a lot of Turkic pasture. After your infantry has horses, they can use this period of time to train their riding skills in the coming spring.
After all, on the grassland, only cavalry battle is the most suitable strategy to resist the enemy.
This is our last chance."
"The deal is done. I will lead my ministers to discuss the matter tomorrow and complete the transaction as soon as possible."
Huyan Yunyao showed a smile and looked at the slightly haggard queen.
"Wise choice."
"Do I have a choice?"
Huyan Yunyao put away her smile and looked at the cute little girl who had been silent next to the queen.
"After your Jin Kingdom was defeated, didn't your senior brother send you a letter to say anything?"
The Queen's bright eyes shrank, and she couldn't express her disappointment.
"Well, now that it's over, there's nothing more to say.
Although my fortune was not lost by him, I was indirectly killed by Liu Mingzhi."
"No, Daijin will not die, and dad will not lie to Yue'er!"
The little cutie who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke after hearing the Queen's sentimental words!
The two empresses, who had complicated thoughts, subconsciously looked at the little cutie with a look of dissatisfaction in her smart eyes.
