The siege lasted all day, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. At dusk, the Turkic army finally retreated, leaving only corpses everywhere.
It was night, lanterns were hung high on the top of the city in Ganzhou, and a cold wind blew. Yuan Feng, tightly wrapped in his fur coat, stood at the top of the city and stared at the mourning people outside. He didn't know how many injured and undead soldiers were wailing in the wilderness, but the wailing was also in the cold.
The wind slowly weakened, and a wolf howled in the distance, making the night even more lonely and miserable.
The Ganzhou Army suffered heavy casualties, so even the commander's guards were sent on duty at the top of the city. Most of the soldiers rested in the Tibetan Soldier Cave sheltered from the wind. Only about a hundred soldiers were left on the city wall to observe the enemy's situation, and Yuan Feng was one of them.
one.
There was a star hanging on the high pole at the top of the city. It was the enemy general that Yuan Feng killed yesterday. Taking advantage of the light of the lantern, Yuan Feng carefully looked at the Turkic general, but found that he did not have the tall nose and deep eyes of the Turkic general.
The characteristic is that he has small eyes, a flat nose, and a flat face. He is clearly a Mongolian.
"Young man, stop standing, sit down and take shelter from the wind." A veteran sitting next to him greeted him while sitting under the crenel. Yuan Feng nodded and sat next to him. The veteran took out his tobacco bag, filled the copper pot with tobacco leaves, and used the fire to
The sword, fire and sickle were struck, and he took a nice sip, then handed it to Yuan Feng: "Young man, take a sip."
Yuan Feng shook his head, and the veteran started to smoke. After he was satisfied, he said: "Young man, you are so skilled. The Turkic generals can't even pass a round in front of your horse. If you follow the right person, it will not be a problem to become a general."
"
Yuan Feng said: "Am I not with the right person now?"
The old soldier said: "I would have never said this in the past, but now that the army is approaching the city, Ganzhou will be broken at once, so I have no taboos about anything. Although the eldest son has a good nature, he is not ruthless enough to be worthy of this position."
My family, if you follow him, your glory will be short-lived, but it won’t last long.”
Regarding the political disputes within the Liangzhou system, Yuan Feng had already heard a lot from Lao Wangtou and was not interested in paying attention to this, so he interrupted: "Why can Mongolians also become Turkic generals?"
The veteran said: "You don't understand this. The Turk we often call is actually just a general term. After leaving Jiayuguan, do you know how big the Western Region is? It is a large place with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. There are Wusun people, Yuezhi people, Tujue people, etc."
Qishi, Geluolu, Kangju, Alan, Duolu, Tiele and other more than a dozen ethnic groups, of course the largest ones are Turks and Mongols. It turned out that the Western Regions were ruled by the descendants of Genghis Khan. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, they also
As the country gradually declined, and as the Turks converted to Allah, even the Khan position was vacated. If the Turks can be the great khan of the Mongols, what's wrong with the Mongols being the generals of the Turks?"
Yuan Feng was told that he fainted. The history of the Western Regions was too complicated and he couldn't understand it for a while. He simply stopped thinking about it and stared blankly at the night sky. After a while, he couldn't help but ask the veteran:
“Can Ganzhou really not be able to hold on?”
The veteran pulled out his pipe and sighed: "Look at the army outside the city. There are not only 50,000 but also 30,000. This is just their vanguard. I don't know how many thousands are following behind. We in Ganzhou City only have less than 8,000 troops."
, there is no hope for us again in Liangzhou, how can we have hope? Alas, if we can eat one more meal, it is a meal. I was a soldier when I was fifteen, and I am almost seventy now, and I have lived enough... just
It's a pity that there are tens of thousands of people in this city. After the Turkic army breaks through the city, they must massacre the city for three days. This is their rule."
Yuan Feng was shocked and silent, and the veteran stopped talking and lit another pack of cigarettes. The cigarette pot flickered on and off in the darkness, reflecting his old face.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and the messenger came trotting over and said: "Open your head, the commander will send you a message."
Zhang San is Yuan Feng's pseudonym. Because he served as Cao Jun's guard captain, he was called Zhang Tou. When he heard the summons from the commander, Yuan Feng quickly packed his clothes and followed the messenger down to the city.
When we arrived at the Commander's Office, it was brightly lit inside. A group of civil and military officials were sitting together for a meeting with frowns on their faces. Wang Wei stood on top and said: "Our army suffered many casualties in today's battle, and there are not enough rolling logs and stones.
Reinforcements are far away. According to detailed reports, those who are attacking us are the front of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. They captured Suzhou a month ago and massacred the city for three days without leaving any chickens or dogs behind. Our strength is not as good as Suzhou.
, so the chance of winning this battle is very slim, so it is better to retreat to Liangzhou before most of the enemy troops arrive and make further calculations."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Wang Wei said again: "As soon as we leave, the enemy will definitely come to chase us, so we must leave a force to contain them. It is best to attack tonight and disrupt their camp, so that we can take advantage of the chaos and retreat."
Let's go." He said and turned his gaze to Yuan Feng who had just walked in.
"Come here." Wang Wei called Yuan Feng and introduced to everyone: "This is Zhang San, the captain of the commander's personal army. Everyone saw the battle during the day. He is extremely brave, courageous and knowledgeable. I am
You will think that the responsibility of the queen belongs to him alone."
Of course, everyone had no objection to the job of rearguard being a near-death job. Wang Wei said: "We don't have many cavalrymen in Ganzhou. We only have one battalion. After the death of General Wei Qian, there is no one left. Let's leave it to Captain Zhang to lead the attack. Zhang will attack in the middle of the night."
Mr. Qian, do you have any other requests that you would like to make?"

Yuan Feng was a little at a loss. He was suddenly upgraded to Qian Zong. He still couldn't adapt. After a while, he calmed down and said: "I want the best war horse, the best armor and weapons, and this is the best thing."
Then he took out the musket from his waist.
Everyone shook their heads when they saw his musket. Wang Wei said: "This kind of musket is only bad. It shoots slowly and close. Fortunately, it explodes the chamber. It is only effective when it is close. None of us soldiers like to use it. You
If you want, there are hundreds more in the warehouse, just take them all."
Wang Wei immediately sent someone to take Yuan Feng to the arsenal to choose, and he could use the armor and weapons at will. They couldn't take them away anyway, so they might as well leave them all to Yuan Feng for use. Here Yuan Feng saw the dissatisfaction Wang Wei said.
The useful musket is indeed clumsy, long and heavy. It uses a match rope to ignite the fire. The projectiles are as big as sparrow eggs. According to the officer in charge of the arsenal, this musket shoots too slowly, far inferior to bows and arrows, and is about the same as a crossbow.
Although it has strong penetrating power, it weighs much more than a crossbow, so it is not equipped in the army. These muskets have not been used for more than ten years.
Yuan Feng didn't care about that and accepted them all. The cavalry camp left by General Wei Qian was also put under his control. Eight hundred northwest men lined up at the primary school in the city to receive Yuan Feng's review. They saw Yuan Feng killing the Turkic general.
, the men all bowed their hands in salute. People in the northwest respect heroes the most. Yuan Feng helped them avenge General Wei Qian, which naturally won their respect.
Cao Jun and a group of civil and military officials from Ganzhou had already packed their gear. He sent people to inform Yuan Feng that Yinshi would launch a surprise attack on the enemy camp. They must contain the enemy troops and give them time to retreat safely.
As soon as Yin Shi arrived, the west gate of Ganzhou quietly opened, and eight hundred fine cavalry filed out. Each of them had a piece of white cloth wrapped around his right arm, and a white feather on his helmet for identification. In addition to a spear and a saber, he also brought a fire starter.
There are objects, horses' hooves wrapped in cloth, and people holding coins in their mouths. They don't hear the sound of orders, but they can hear the sound of people and horses walking.
When they were three miles away from the Turkic camp, the cavalry launched a charge. The Turkic army had been fighting fiercely during the day and was already exhausted. They did not expect that the Ganzhou army would have the courage to attack at night. The camp was so haphazard that a single charge could
After fighting in, the Ganzhou cavalry were killing people and setting fires everywhere. It was freezing cold. The Turkic troops wearing single clothes came out of their tents. They saw only fire everywhere and figures running around everywhere. It was impossible to tell how many enemy troops there were. Suddenly
Chaos arose.
This is the advantage of a night attack. It is dark and you can defeat a large number with a small number. Although the Turkic army is large in number, they lost their command in a hurry. Tens of thousands of people ran around like headless flies and dispersed themselves.
Feng led eight hundred cavalry to charge all the way, and unexpectedly rushed to the Chinese army's tent without any effort.
After all, the Turkic Army was an elite force. In a moment, they linked up their carriages to form a vehicle formation. The soldiers hid behind the formation and fired arrows. The Ganzhou Army also fired at them with rockets. The carts were set ablaze by rockets. The Turks were in a raging fire.
The soldiers were in a mess crying for their fathers and mothers. Zhao Ding'an and Zhao Ziqian rushed up on their horses and passed through the sea of fire. Then they struggled to open a carriage. Yuan Feng rushed in first and headed towards a large tent not far away.
Running towards him, several soldiers came out guarding a man with a tall nose and deep eyes. Under the blazing firelight, he could see that he was wearing golden armor. Yuan Feng rushed forward to kill him, but the soldiers risked their lives to resist. The man in golden armor
Run away in panic.
Yuan Feng wanted to pursue him, but Zhao Ding'an, with a bloody face, ran over and said: "The enemy troops on the left are outflanking us."
Having achieved the set goal, Yuan Feng reined in his horse, turned around and shouted: "Go back to the city!"
The 800 cavalry retreated completely, but the night was so thick that the Turkic army did not dare to pursue them. They returned to the city to count their number. They found that there were 879 people when they attacked, and 821 people came back. The loss was less than one tenth.
, it can be described as a great victory.
The Turkic camp in the distance was still blazing with fire. The cannons and grain piles were all set ablaze. The Turkic army had suffered a big loss. Yuan Feng was in high spirits, and all the soldiers were shouting happily. The seventy-year-old man on the wall
The veteran also shook his head and said: "This battle was really beautiful."
Yuan Feng sent people to the east gate to check the retreat situation. Not long after, the report came: Ganzhou civil and military officials and their families had safely retreated, and most of the soldiers and horses in the city had also left. Now, except for Yuan Feng's cavalry camp, only the remaining
An old military camp with very weak combat effectiveness.
"What about the people in the city?" Yuan Feng asked.
"The people in the city didn't know that the officers and soldiers had evacuated. They must still be dreaming at this time."
Yuan Feng slapped the city wall with his palm. These shameless gangsters only wanted to escape for their own lives and put tens of thousands of people in Ganzhou to death!
