Chapter 395 The door to the world of food
Yang Feng's army repaired Tuozhe City for a full half month...
Or it took half a month to cause disaster.
Although robbery and evil deeds like ***** were still controlled. After all, they surrendered, but the 22,000 locusts and the more than 40,000 horses they accompanied still made the people of Shi Guo miserable. Not to mention that feeding them would be a heavy burden.
By the way, Yang Feng didn't bring any food.
This guy has never paid much attention to the food supply problem. He always comes to solve the problem wherever he goes. He only carries a very small amount of supplies, and even carriages are too lazy to bring. That is, the accompanying pack horses carry frozen meat, cheese and food, and bring a batch of feed to the war horses. The quantity is as long as it can ensure that he reaches the target of attack. His subordinates were originally dominated by nomads, and horses were the most basic configuration. After robbing the Doglu people for two years, they now have two horses and even three horses. It is the most basic to travel one hundred miles a day. The Tang soldiers all have three horses, one war horse, one horse rides and one pack horse, and the movement speed is comparable to that of the Mongolian army in the Western Expedition. Although the Western Regions are not the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to have a city of two hundred miles. In fact, the farthest distance is only more than a hundred miles apart, which is within his two-day march distance. As long as he carries supplies for three days, it is enough for him to walk to any city.
The only problem with this tactic is that it is afraid of encountering a strong city that cannot be defeated. Once the troops are stationed under the strong city for a long time, the enemy is firmly weak and the fields are clear, and there is nowhere to rob around, it will be completely done. No wise general will do this.
Those who dare to do this are dead.
This can be said to be a big taboo for military strategists. Even if you dare to play like this and succeed in the future, there will be one Li Cunxu. However, Li Cunxu is just trolling and will be done without fighting, and Yang Feng is not trolling.
Where is the strong city in front of him?
Which city can stop him?
His army could completely ensure that it would be captured on the same day as in Talas.
What kind of logistics does he need in this way?
Wherever they fight, they dare not serve the old men, be careful not to be angry. The poor Shi people could only provide them with food and drink, even to their war horses, and to worry about their spiritual life, otherwise any Tang army or servant army could not hold it in, so they could do it themselves. In short, the Shi people served with tears in their eyes for half a month, and finally waited for their departure, but not only they left, but also a Shi people with five thousand people, and five thousand civilians who transported supplies for them. This was their duty. After all, General Yang came to protect their freedom of belief, so it was also necessary to follow a group of prostitutes in the transportation team.
Yang Feng’s next stop is Jun Zhanli.
That is, Kuzhan.
When he arrived at the 4th century, the place had already escaped the brutal rule of the Dashi. Ningyuan and Dongcao coalition forces, with the cooperation of the military and civilians in the 4th century, wiped out the 300 4th century troops in one fell swoop, and then restored the ancient city.
Of course, besides them, there are three thousand Tang troops.
"Yang Feng, dare to fight me!"
At the city of Ju Zhanti, a general in his thirties wearing black bright light armor and carrying two short iron spears stood on his horse and shouted loudly at Yang Feng.
"Let the horse come here!"
Yang Feng sneered proudly.
The latter urged the war horse without hesitation. The horse, which was also covered with iron armor, instantly came to Yang Feng. He stabbed his short iron spear with his right hand and stabbed it directly with his chest. Yang Feng was useless even when he avoided it sideways and grabbed the tip of the spear. Almost at the same time, the general's left iron spear stabbed in lightning. It was grabbed by Yang Feng's left hand with his left hand. He suddenly grabbed the spear with both hands. The general roared and regained his full strength. The war horses under his crotch made a tragic cry at the same time, but the two were evenly matched. The two iron spears held tightly in four hands and pulled the two war horses to keep moving the horse's hooves.
Yang Feng sat upright and looked at his opponent with a reserved look.
And the general could be said to have tried his best, his face turned red, but the two iron spears were firmly held in Yang Feng's hand.
"I still can't compare to you!"
He suddenly let go of his hands and gasped and said.
"You have self-knowledge."
Yang Feng threw the spears to him, and then said with a smile: "Let's go and take your brothers to drink. I specially brought you a thousand kilograms of soybean wine, and I still can't bear to drink a sip!"
This is Bai Xiaode.
The Kucha royal family, Yang Feng became famous for the former number one general of the Anxi Army. Originally, after Li Siye's death, Li Fei Yuanli took over as the governor of the Anxi Beiting Xingying. After Li Fei Yuanli died in a mutiny, he was the commander of the elite army that saved the Central Plains by ten thousand horses. After the Anshi Rebellion, he resisted Tubo in Longyou and finally ended his old age with the Prince of Changhua. At this time, the three thousand Tang army cavalry led by him were the reinforcements to Yang Feng.
The two of them went together to fight.
Two Tang troops behind them gathered together with laughter.
At this time, the commanders of Ningyuan and Dongcao armies were waiting for them in front of the city gate. The two countries had gathered an army of about 15,000 people, and were personally commanded by Ningyuan King Dou Zhongjie. His Dou was given the surname, and he also had a special identity...
He is the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Longji married the most loyal king in the Western Regions as the princess Heyi with the royal family daughter.
"Master!"
Yang Feng bowed to Dou Zhongjie and said.
"The general does not need to be too polite. The general's might as well be awesome in the Western Regions, which made the great cannibals frightened. All of us all respect the general's military power. We should salute the general and thank the general for protecting us."
Dou Zhongjie smiled and returned the favor.
He was undoubtedly the one who benefited the most from this continuous melee in the Western Regions, because he never betrayed the Tang Dynasty from the beginning to the end. Even when the cannibals supported another king of Bakhan, the Tubos blocked the Pagan passage, he did not betray the Tang Dynasty. He also sent troops to help the Tang army fight in the Battle of Talas. Although his soldiers were defeated first, even blocked the road and forced Li Siye to personally take the battle to cut a passage to protect Gao Xianzhi to retreat, Bakhan's army did not betray. If the cannibals completely controlled the Western Regions, he would definitely be in trouble. However, because of Yang Feng's existence, the Tang Dynasty counterattacked and recaptured the Western Regions, then he became a role model for loyalty and righteousness in Zhaowu countries.
His gratitude to Yang Feng is sincere.
"We are all serving the country, and the king does not need to thank you!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
A group of people entered the village of Jun Zhanti, and then Ningyuan's army escorted more than 100 large-scale prisoners.
"Cut it, and the capital is piled outside the city!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
With the sound of beheading behind them, they entered the city's guard's mansion. Before the banquet, Yang Feng first placed a huge map in front of everyone. This was the military map he used himself. The accuracy was quite high. All the mountains, rivers and rivers were vivid in my mind. The deserts, grasslands and mountains were all marked with different colors.
"This is a battle."
He pointed to a point on the picture and said.
"This is Kangguo."
He pointed to the southwest and said.
"This is Zhong Cao, so who can tell me how many enemy troops there are in Zhong Cao?"
He pointed to the middle and asked again.
"There is no Dashi Army, only three thousand troops collected by Kang, An, He, Mi and other countries. It is said that there have been changes in the country. The king of Dashi is seriously ill and his brothers have mastered heavy troops. In order to prevent his brothers from seizing the throne after his death, Abumusilin has not returned since the pilgrimage. His main force has also gone south to return to Persia, preparing to start a war once there is a change. Only the five thousand Dashi Army in Chiad Ibnsari stayed in Kang State, and the army of Kang State is the same as in the Battle of Talas, and their purpose is to defend Kangju City to wait for subsequent reinforcements."
The commander of the Dongcao Army, a prince of Dongcao, said.
The Eastern Cao Kingdom is located south of the Ju Zhanti, which is the southern half of the exit of the Feyganna Basin. The northern foot of the Turkic Sitan Mountains is Ningyuan to the east, Zhongcao Kingdom or Cao Kingdom for short, and Zhongcao Kingdom is all the city of Kadizhen, which can be roughly regarded as the Jizhak area, which blocks the passage to Samarkand, which is Kangju, similar to Talas to the Shi Kingdom. This is the north of the Turkic Sitan Mountains. The southern side of this mountain range that stretches hundreds of kilometers from east to west is the United States, Kang Kingdom, He Kingdom, Xi Cao, Dong'an, and An Kingdom is Bukhara. It is lined up from east to west along the wet plains along the Zelavshang River from east to west. As for from there and south, it is the southern gate of Central Asia, the famous iron gate, and Huoxun at the westernmost end, but it does not belong to this area.
The current situation in the Western Regions is very clear
The western section of the southern Tianshan Mountains and its branch Turkic Sitan Mountains are the dividing line. To the south of this mountain range, the wet plains or grasslands irrigated from the Zelavshang River and the Amu River basins have basically been completely controlled by Dashi. After decades of operation, most of them have completed Dashi. Although it is not stable, it can at least be regarded as the Dashi world.
To the north of this line, it is still dominated by Zoroastrianism.
The spread of the cannibals was not forced to convert from the beginning. They were carried out step by step, first allowing the existence of religions such as Zoroastrianism, but only collecting additional taxes to resolve the resistance during the conquest process. After they gained power of domination, they began to lure the local people. When more and more believers on the conquered land, they immediately revealed their true faces and those who believe in me and don’t believe in me will die. This process lasted for dozens, hundreds of years and hundreds of years. In Persia, they took more than a hundred years to complete this process. In Central Asia, they had spent decades to finally complete the great food in the Amu River Basin. Before the Battle of Talas, they had also begun to infiltrate northward. The Battle of Talas is the inevitable result of this infiltration.
Therefore, the entrance to the south is not only the gate of the country of Kang, but also the gate of the world of Dashi.
"Then open this door!"
Yang Feng said while taking a map.
"Tomorrow we march, I will see the walls of Kangju with you in five days!"
Then he said.
"Uh, General, don't we prepare some siege equipment first?"
Dou Zhongjie said in surprise.
"Siege equipment? I don't need siege equipment!"
Chapter completed!
