Chapter 394: Siege (I)


As a monarch, Li Liangzuo can say such things, which is completely shameless, but Li Liangzuo did tell the truth about the Xia army, the Xia army is indeed facing the problem of grain and grass, and now the remaining grain and grass of the Xia army is less than a month, and it is no longer possible to transport grain and grass for the Xia army on the front line in Great Xia, if Li Liangzuo cannot solve the problem of grain and grass within half a month, the Xia army does have only one way to retreat.

In the face of Li Liangzuo's mouth opening to ask for food and grass, these tribal chiefs were also very embarrassed, these tribes that lived on nomadism were not rich, and the reason why these people came here to participate in the attack on Samad City was actually to get some benefits from the Xia army, and now the benefits were not reaped, but they were robbed by Li Liangzuo.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we are just ordinary nomadic tribes, and the small country and the weak people can't support the use of the Celestial Empire's army at all, please forgive your Majesty the Emperor."

A tribal chief stepped forward and said.

Li Liangzuo said with a very ugly face: "I am not strong, as long as I provide food and grass for my army, I will recognize the status of his tribe, and I will also canonize the title according to the size of your merits, as long as you have meritorious service, I will give pastures to allow autonomy, and those who have made great merits will be given the title of the country and allowed to build the country." ” Li Liangzuo's words caused quite a stir among these tribal chiefs, if you look at it from the perspective of a businessman, this is actually an exchange, Li Liangzuo used knighthood and autonomy as a temptation condition, so that these tribal chiefs are desperate for their lives; In fact, Li Liangzuo is completely painting cakes for them, and the credit of these people is actually determined by Li Liangzuo's words, and Li Liangzuo is completely writing empty checks to them.

But these tribal chiefs don't see it that way, they have been attached to the Black Khan Dynasty for so many years, and they have to pay heavy taxes every year, but there is no return, and now as long as they can follow the Xia army and make military achievements, they can get the title and pass it on to future generations, which is tantamount to pie in the sky for these tribal chiefs who are eager for fame and fortune; And it was not without precedent before them, as evidenced by the Qarluq.

Originally, the Qarlu Department was suppressed by the Black Khan Dynasty and was almost wiped out by the whole clan, but it was the Great Xia Kingdom that saved them, and following the Xia army, the Qarlu Department not only recovered the place where the ancestors lived, but also completely annexed their former old enemy, the Turgish Division, and the Xia Emperor also recognized the military exploits of the Qarlu Department, and allowed the Qarluq people to establish the Gelulu Ye Protectorate, and rewarded the Talas City to the Qarluqs.

In the eyes of these tribal chiefs, this is an example, and the power of example is infinite, just when the chief of the heavy tribe kept thinking, a guard ran in and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Liangzuo and said: "Your Majesty, Timur, the prince of Qarluq, is asking to see you outside the camp. ” "Announce him in."

Li Liangzuo said with a wave of his hand.

If you don't look at your face, this is simply a living Xia army general Ah Temur came in and said to Li Liangzuo with the highest etiquette: "The young general of the lower country Temur see His Majesty the Great Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ” "The prince has come from afar and worked hard, so take a seat," Li Liangzuo said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Temur thanked him, he did not stand up, but continued to kneel and speak; "The last general came to ask Your Majesty for guilt, and the last general led 50,000 Gelulu cavalry to raid the Serbian army camp on the west bank of the Hong River, but failed, but lost a large number of troops, please punish Your Majesty."

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, the prince doesn't have to take it to heart, the prince can take the initiative to come here to see me, I am already very happy;" Li Liangzuo said with a smile; "Sai Huang Mariksa is not an ordinary person, this person has the talent of heaven and earth, even I am not sure of winning all against him, the failure of the prince's raid is excusable, flat, take a seat" "Your Majesty" Temur stood up and continued to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, the last general not only brought 30,000 cavalry this time, but also brought 100,000 cattle and sheep and 50,000 war horses for Your Majesty. ” "I'm worried about the matter of grain and grass, the prince's move is really a charcoal in the snow" Li Liangzuo said very happily: "Temur listened to the seal, canonized Temur as a general of Yangwei, under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, and gave 100 brocade horses and 10 beauties. ” "The last general Xie Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live" Although Li Liangzuo's reward for Timur is not particularly high, but it gives a signal to the chiefs, what Li Liangzuo said is not empty words, as long as he performs well, he will really get the reward, so under the manipulation of Li Liangzuo, the problem of grain and grass was quickly solved, these tribal chiefs have presented cattle, sheep and war horses to Li Liangzuo, of course, just counting on the tribal chieftain to pay tribute to this little thing is still a drop in the bucket, Li Liangzuo ordered to collect from the rich merchants and nobles in Balasagon, Uzgen and other places, these places are entrenched in a large number of old forces, Li Liangzuo just took advantage of this opportunity to eradicate them all, these rich merchants and nobles are all hundred-year-old families, and the wealth of the family is naturally countless, with these Xia Jun's grain and grass problem is finally temporarily solved.

The problem of grain and grass is solved, and the next step is to attack the city, but Li Liangzuo did not rush to attack the city of Sama, but first surrounded the city, and now Li Liangzuo has an army of 470,000 in his hands, and in addition to the coalition forces that have come from various tribes one after another, he has gathered nearly 600,000 troops under the city of Sama, although the combat effectiveness of the tribal alliance is worrying, but more than 100,000 people are not covered anywhere.

After completely encircling the city of Samad again, Li Liangzuo's troops went west in two ways to Sedijin to join the more than 100,000 Xiahua coalition army led by Li Chahan and Li Yue, completely captured Sedichen and pulled out the last stronghold in the west outside the city of Samad and Shama; In addition, Li Yi was sent to lead an army of 150,000 to the south, sweeping south of Samad City, completely cutting off the connection between Maliksha and Sevich, and attacking the Tiemen Pass on both sides with the Southern Route Army under the command of Li Bingchang and Li Wu, opening the passage between the two armies.

Li Liangzuo's tactics completely isolated the city of Samad, this situation was something that Maliksha never expected, but now it is too late to say anything, and it is a dead end for the Serbian army to go out of the city at this time; At the same time, the two armies sent by Li Liangzuo were very smooth, under the siege of more than 200,000 troops, Sedijon soon fell, and with the fall of Sedichen, it also marked that the passage between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Khorezm State in the south had been completely opened.

On the other side, after discovering that a large number of Xia troops appeared north of Tiemen Pass, Sevic made a very wise choice, that is, to abandon the city and flee, Sevic was not stupid, he clearly knew that with this little force in his hands, he could not resist the Xia army's two-sided attack.

In less than seven days, Li Liangzuo completely turned the city of Samad into a lonely city, and Li Liangzuo's three-way army has successfully joined forces, and now Li Liangzuo has a total strength of more than 800,000 coalition troops, occupying an absolute advantage in terms of troops.
