Blackwater City is located on the bank of the Ejina River. "Ejina" means "black water" in Dangxiang language. The river flows through Suzhou, which is later known as Jiuquan, and then flows southeast through Ganzhou, dividing it into two.
, part of it passes through Rouge Mountain, and the other part flows towards the Qilian Mountain.
Don't think that Dangxiang people don't know how to transport by boat. After Ye An received the news, he knew Li Deming's plan. It is most convenient to march from Heishui City to Ganzhou. The food near Heishui City is enough for Dangxiang's army, and Hei
The existence of water also facilitates the transportation of grain and grass.
The most important thing on the battlefield is logistics. It is the most basic way to use troops before the soldiers and horses have food and fodder. Of course, Ye An can see through it at a glance, but... he guessed the wrong time.
Even if he beat Ye An to death, he would not believe that Li Deming actually launched an attack on Ganzhou City in this cold winter! And it was Li Yuanhao who led the vanguard to attack Ganzhou City.
Ye An was shocked when he received the news. Using troops in winter was tantamount to a last-ditch battle. It would be fine if the army captured Ganzhou City in a short time, but if it dragged on into a protracted war, it would definitely plunge the Dangxiang army into a bitter battle.
The northwest is not generally cold in winter, especially after nightfall. The cold northwest wind can even freeze the soldiers in the tent alive. The soldiers are very fast and unexpected. Li Deming chose this time to attack Ganzhou at a time that no one believed.
The city launched an attack.
Ye An wanted to slap himself in the face. He was really negligent this time. He knew that Li Deming was stationed in Heishui City and that he was going to attack Ganzhou. He took almost all factors into consideration, but he just didn't expect that Li Deming would launch a winter attack.
offensive.
The spies sent out reported the news that the party's army actually used sledges to transport grain and grass on the ice. The resistance on the ice was small, and special horseshoes were placed on the horses' hooves to transport them quickly.
But the truth was far more outrageous than Ye An imagined. The party's cavalry came and went like the wind, and this time Li Yuanhao suggested to his father that all the equipment of the soldiers except weapons should be put on sledges on the ice.
on transportation.
In this way, the cavalry could reach Ganzhou from Heishui City at a faster speed, while the infantry rode sledges, which was faster than before.
"The convenience of utensils" allowed Li Yuanhao to truly realize the wonder of studying things. Even though this was a resourcefulness that Zhang Wen was proud of, in his eyes, it was similar to what Ye An said about the study of studying things.
A large number of Dangxiang cavalry suddenly arrived, which caught the Uighurs in Ganzhou City off guard. They did not dare to attack rashly without knowing the truth. During the period when the Uighurs hesitated, the Dangxiang people's food, grass and equipment passed through.
The frozen blackwater river arrives.
The fierce Dangxiang infantry, under the cover of the cavalry, rushed to the gate of Ganzhou City and launched a fierce attack with ropes and spikes drilled into the city wall. The infantry who braved the rain of arrows even did not hesitate to clear the way for their companions, even though they were covered with blood.
The arrow also has to climb a few more feet.
The Dangxiang people are a branch of the Xiqiang people. Even if they don't want to admit it, their bloodline cannot be denied. Not only do they inherit the rough and wild character of the Xiqiang people, they also have strong fighting power, which is what flows in the nomadic people.
Instinct in the body.
The heavily armed Song army may not be the opponent of the Dangxiang people, let alone the Uighurs who have been wandering in the Western Regions like jackals all year round?
Under the fierce attacks of the Dangxiang people, the Uighurs who defended the city were retreating steadily. Even if they suppressed a wave of attacks by the Dangxiang people, countless Dangxiang people would pounce on them ferociously.
The Uighurs were not fools. After discovering the Dangxiang army, they sent out cavalry to harass the enemy troops and prevent the Dangxiang people from attacking the city. However, in front of the Dangxiang's fine cavalry, all the Uighur cavalry was in vain.
After only a few back and forth, the Uighur cavalry was killed and routed, and it was impossible to open the city gate to let them in. Therefore, the Uighur cavalry, which had become less and less numerous as they fought, was like a lonely boat in the huge waves under the attacks of the party's elite cavalry.
It was swallowed up cleanly by the last wave, not even a scrap was left.
The Dangxiang people would not stop attacking the city, and during the siege, they would order their warriors to persuade them to surrender loudly: "Anyone who swears to death and refuses to surrender will be killed without mercy! If he does not surrender after three hours, Dangxiang will massacre the city when the army enters the city!"
"
The massacre of the city was the most serious humanitarian disaster in ancient human history, and it was also the best way to deter the enemy. Thinking of the methods of the party members, all the Uighur soldiers and civilians in Ganzhou City were frightened.
Just when the Uyghurs suppressed another Dangxiang attack, Li Yuanhao got on his horse and rushed over in military uniform. His soldiers suddenly lost their souls. This young master was the prince personally designated by the king, and was also the future master of Dangxiang!
At this time, Zhang Wen, who was wearing a Confucian scholar's robe and straddling his horse, was also extremely anxious. He quickly sent people to help, and it would be best to bring Li Yuanhao back.
But the stretched arm he just raised was held down by Li Deming. Looking at the direction in which his son was galloping, Li Deming smiled and said: "The tiger will eventually have to show its sharp teeth to lead the ferocious wolves. I don't want him to live forever."
Under his wings, he is just like the emperor of your Han people!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Wen stiffened and helplessly flattered him, but in his heart, he regarded this behavior as a foolish act. The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall. Now the Uighurs are weak and the battle situation has been decided. It only takes a few rounds.
If you can completely defeat Ganzhou City, why put the prince of a country in danger?!
If there is any eventuality, what is the use of taking Ganzhou City in this battle? After all, they are foreigners, how stupid!
But he didn't know that Li Mingde was looking at him with disdain in his eyes. The more Zhang Wen worried about Li Yuanhao, the more Li Deming looked down on him. The power at the moment was all about the party, and the Uighurs didn't dare to fight back, especially after Wei Li appeared.
, and even more dare not touch its edge, but Dangxiang's officers and men are brave enough to see it. This is what the future king of Dangxiang should do!
As the battle on the city wall ended, the city of Ganzhou fell into panic. At this time, the Uighurs in the city rushed into the Khan's palace and discovered that Khan Yeluohe had already fled.
Endless killings began. Women and girls were insulted, expectant mothers were disemboweled, young men had their hands and feet cut off, and old men were dragged behind horses by ropes and died long ago. Only the young and strong were missing...
The piles of corpses were burning in the dark night, and the wails and screams resounded through the night sky. Cheng Gongshou wanted to rush out and kill him more than once. Even dying on the battlefield was better than watching here, but he was killed by Xu Yongzhang.
Hold on tight.
So what if they, the reconnaissance team, go out? Use gunpowder bombs to take away a few party members? It won’t help!
They wanted to record the battle in detail, including the tragic situation in Ganzhou City.
Cheng Gongshou and Xu Yongzhang took the soldiers of the Imperial City Division on an inspection tour, and happened to discover the attack by the Dangxiang people. They were accompanied not only by the soldiers of the Imperial City Division, but also soldiers of the Xi Lie Army and the Huaiyuan Army. They were
A joint investigation team was formed to coordinate their combat capabilities, but they saw a tragic scene.
The battle in Ganzhou ended. Under the cover of night, a team of ten people quickly mounted their horses and disappeared into the night...
