After sending a Hundred House Battalion to escort Lin Zhe and his group out of Almaty, the three fully equipped Tongshun army also divided into three groups and drove in three directions.
One branch, led by Wu Qidao, headed northwest, aiming at Priojoersk on the west bank of Lake Balkash.
One, led by Haribai, headed northeastward, and rushed to Tikli, located on the border between Liang and Valor.
The last one was led by Yan Bing himself, heading westward to capture Tashkent on the border between Bishkek and Varosi.
At this moment, there were less than 500 defenders left in Almaty. This was not because his master and uncle were there, so Yan Bing could rest assured, but she had predicted that the opponent's main force would not be able to move south again in a short period of time.
The first is because of the wind and snow.
Second, the most important thing is that once the opponent's main force goes south again, he will be trapped in the dilemma of being attacked by Liang's troops on both sides. If it goes east, it will be a thousand-mile Gobi Desert, with no one inhabited. Therefore, they have no other choice except to stay in the north to spend the winter. No matter where they go, they will face a dilemma of being surrounded by heavy snow.
But Yan Bing is different. She is located on the southern border of Varo. There are rich fresh water resources and grasslands are crisscrossing. The amount of materials in each city is extremely considerable. If you want to use the Central Plains as an analogy, this place is equivalent to the water town of Varo's Jiangnan, which is just turning fish and rice into cattle and sheep.
This is why Yan Bing must choose to attack Varo from this line. When fighting, it is to fight economy and money and food. What is the use of your Thousand Miles of Gobi Desert? Isn’t it fragrant in this rich land in the south?
Um,
It's really delicious...
As the first important city adjacent to Almaty and to learn about the tragic end of Almaty, Bishkek, when Yan Bing's army of 13,000 men set out and delivered the letter of surrender, the rich southern city surrendered without a fight.
Bing naturally was happy to keep his promise. He did not hurt every man or a soldier in the city throughout the whole process, but let them go out of the city and cordially guaranteed that they had enough food to reach Xindu. Amid the gratitude of countless people, a Thousand Houses Camp specially sent a thousand-household camp to "escort" them all the way north to prevent them from escaping to the West or the South.
Delivery to home, with great sincerity.
As for this Qianhu Camp, after completing the "escort" mission, the sword forward turned and directly joined Wu Qidao's team besieging Priojoersk.
In this battle, we obtained meat sheep, sheep, and white cows, totaling more than 100,000, wheat, barley and oats.
What should I do if I can’t eat it anymore?
Drive away...
A team of 500 people put various barley and wheat into sacks, tied them to the beef cattle, and drove them all the way back to the material transfer station in the Western Regions, allowing the Liang soldiers in the territory to help eat together. I believe that in the past hundred years, the food and treatment of Liang soldiers has not been as good as they are now.
Yanbing's main force burned all the food that could not be pulled away in the city, and drove directly toward the next city.
Tashkent!
This is not an ordinary city...
Its reputation for wealth resounded throughout the sky. This reputation not only comes from countless cattle, sheep and horses, but also from its special geographical location...
A must-pass place on the Silk Road!
There are many wealthy businessmen here, with gold and silver piles, so when Yan Bing's army arrives here, these wealthy businessmen who want to protect their wealth either flee to other countries or spend money to spend money and money to work hard to hire soldiers.
When Yan Bing's letter of persuasion was sent to the city, the other party was not only calm and fearless, but also handed her a letter of persuasion written in Chinese characters...
The content is as follows:
"Ten thousand soldiers wearing armor in the city! There are countless soldiers from other countries who have been hired to fight with a lot of money outside the city. They are coming here at this moment. In less than half a month, they will be over 100,000! You are only a few people, don't hit the stone with eggs. If you retreat, you can still live. If you don't retreat, the day when the army gathers, you will die without a complete body!"
Yan Bing frowned and looked at the letter of persuasion. It also wrote the amount of bounty that soldiers could get after rebelling and taking the head of the general... It was so annoying...
"A group of mediocre talents really think that everything in this world can be settled with money? They don't think about it. When we fight into the city, we still need to get a bounty? Isn't it all ours? Hahahaha..." He Guanggui sneered after reading this letter, and accumulated it into a ball and threw it on the ground.
"Don't take it lightly! You need to know people's hearts... the most difficult to predict..." Yan Bing also gathered the letter of persuasion in his hand, threw it back, and then looked at the school official below and asked in a deep voice: "Who else have seen these letters of persuasion?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qianhu, who was responsible for receiving the messenger, was slightly stunned. He thought for a while, and then said, "After this messenger handed me these letters, he took out a lot of them from his arms and spitted them out, but none of the soldiers in the army went to pick them up. In the end, I ordered them to pick up all the letter papers on the ground and give them to me. Then I fed them one by one to the messenger, watching him eat them all! Commander, you didn't see that scene! It's so funny! Hahaha!"
Li Wenyou laughed a few times and found that no one agreed. Even the coach stared at him with contempt, so he had to stop the voice awkwardly, lowered his head with a slightly red face and asked, "Is there anything wrong with it?"
Yan Bing slowly stood up, walked off the coaching platform, paced back and forth for a few steps, and then issued an order: "This battle is urgent. In order to prevent the night and dreams from happening, we will start siege now! We will order the frontier artillery to replace all solid bullets and bombard the city walls! Let's completely destroy the morale of the other party!"
"Yes!" The officials of the school stood up and bowed to respond. Just as they were about to turn around and go out, they heard the coach behind them speak again.
"Dear tents, send more trustworthy guards to guard them. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what to do..."
The officials of the school turned around and looked at their head coach in a confused look.
Yan Bing looked at the eyes of everyone, smiled helplessly and said in a deep voice: "Of course I can trust our soldiers, but there must be brave men under the heavy reward. What if the other party spends a lot of money to invite some martial arts masters?"
The officials of the school immediately realized and bowed out.
But Yan Bing didn't tell the truth...
Although she also wanted to believe her soldiers completely and wanted to make it honest to them, as a modern person, she knew very well that only people's hearts in the world should not be looked at directly. Even if her subordinates were full of innocent hearts, when the forest was big, it was inevitable that a few sluts would have to have bad thoughts that they should not have. The desire to be on guard against others is necessary...
After making these arrangements, Yan Bing also lifted the curtain and walked to the baggage camp. Because she was still a little worried about the safety of her school officials, she needed to let her master come forward and "knock the mountain and shake the tiger" against the warriors in the city, so as not to really "realize the prophecy."
