In a loud "boom", the north wall of Puhualuo was smashed open a big gap, after the gap opened, Liang Yongneng immediately led the Xia cavalry to rush into the gap, the defenders of Khorezm who defended the city did not have time to react, and were rushed into by the cavalry led by Liang Yongneng.
After the cavalry of the Xia army entered the city, the defenders of Khorezm were defeated, but they were surrounded by the Xia army on all sides, and the defenders in the city had only one way to die, and the Xia army carried out a massacre after entering the city, and the rest of the people in the city were killed by the Xia army except for the women of the right age, and there was a strong smell of blood in the sky of the entire Puhualuo.
There are more than 200,000 people in the entire Puhualuo City, and only 30,000 people survived in the end, except for a few hundred craftsmen, the rest are women, and it took only two hours for the Xia army to take this big city in the east of Khorezm, and Li Bingchang also officially has a base of his own.
"Lord Wang, the defenders in the city have all been cleared."
After Liang Yongneng left the city, he reported to Li Bingchang: "We also found tens of thousands of war horses in the city, as well as a large number of grain, grass and ordnance, which are currently being counted. ” "Let's go, let's go into the city first."
Li Bingchang immediately took his personal guards to the city, and after entering the city, Li Bingchang came directly to the City Lord's Mansion, and entered the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Bingchang asked Liang Yongneng: "Have you caught the Khorezm general who defended the city?"
"No, I guess I was killed in the chaos," Liang Yongneng said.
"It's dead and it's okay."
Li Bingchang said as he flipped through the bookcase.
For Khorezm, the Turkic language used, Li Bingchang had studied since he was a child, and after seeing a document, Li Bingchang's face instantly became gloomy; Liang Yongneng asked Li Bingchang: "Lord Wang, what's wrong?"
"I didn't expect that this Galgar's ambition is not small, and he dares to unite with the Seljuk Turks to prepare to attack the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate."
Li Bingchang said with a sneer.
"Phew" Liang Yongneng said after hearing it: "What a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised." ” Li Bingchang immediately said to Liang Yongneng: "Now immediately send someone to hand over this secret letter to Li Yi Daduhu, we attack Khorezm, maybe the Seljuk Empire will attack suddenly, let Li Yi Daduhu prepare early." ” "Yes, the last general will send a mission to go" By ten o'clock in the evening, the results of the battle had been counted, and Liang Yongneng took the list of captures and said to Li Bingchang: "Lord Wang, this time we are making a fortune, this battle has wiped out a total of 30,000 Khorezm troops, and only more than 30,000 of the 200,000 people in the city remain, and all the rest have been killed; This time, we seized a total of 80,000 horses, more than 300,000 stones of grain and grass, 100,000 catties of jerky, and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep; 270,000 taels of gold, 6,850,000 taels of silver, and countless silks, silk cloths, antiques, and ordnance."
Li Bingchang nodded and said, "With these things, the next battle will be much easier; Are our troops suffering heavy losses?"
"Our army lost 526 casualties, and 2,351 were lightly and seriously wounded, but fortunately, the losses were not very large."
Liang Yongneng said.
"Except for the wounded, who left 3,000 men to defend the city, and during the defense of the city, let them sweep through the surrounding tribes that disobeyed us, and the army repaired for a day, and set out the day after tomorrow to continue the westward expedition."
"Yes, the last general commands" Jade Dragon Jie Chicheng, in the palace of Khorezm.
A general hurried to the main hall of the palace and reported to Galgayu: "I respect Your Majesty, the great thing is not good, the Xia army has suddenly launched an attack on us, and now that the Xia army has captured Ri'an, please make a quick decision." ” "What Xia army has taken the Ri'an, how is this possible" Galga said in disbelief: "How could the Xia army suddenly take the Ri'an, what is the situation in Puhualuo City in front of Zalandin, why didn't Zalandin send someone to report." ” "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that General Zalandin has already been defeated, and it is too late to report it."
"This is impossible, Zalandin has 30,000 elite soldiers, 30,000 ah, and there are 200,000 people in Puhualuo City, more than 30,000 young and strong, and it is not a problem to recruit 30,000 soldiers, how can it be easy to break the city" Galga roared angrily.
"Father, Rian has lost, and now the Xia army has approached Kirti."
One young man said; "Koti is an important town in the east of our country, and it is also the last barrier of Yulongjie Chicheng, if Koti is lost, the Xia army is likely to drive straight in, and the consequences are unimaginable, please give an order from my father to let his sons lead the troops to Koti to defend against the enemy."
This young man is the son of the country of Khorezm, and in the face of Khwarazm's request, Galga was very pleased, but Galga said to Khwarazm: "No, this time I will personally lead the troops to go forward, and to deal with the Xia army, we must win with one blow and completely hurt it, and this battle is related to the life and death of my Khorezm; Passing on the military order of the widows, he gathered 250,000 troops in Koti to prepare to meet the Xia army, and sent people to the Kipchak steppe in the north, so that the Kipchaks could go south to support the battle. ” "Yes, Erchen will give the order tomorrow" Although the Kipchak steppe in the north of Khorezm is also the sphere of influence of Khorezm, the Kipchaks have relative independence, and the Kipchak cavalry has strong combat effectiveness, which is not comparable to ordinary armies, they are born warriors; The reason why the Kipchaks surrendered to Khorezm is simple, because Khorezm holds the lifeblood of the Kipchaks, which is a product of life, table salt.
The Kipchaks do not produce salt, and all the tribes of the Kipchak steppe buy salt from Khorezm, and there are regulations on how much salt Khorezm exports each year, and the tribes of the Kipchak steppe are not uniform, they live in tribes and are nomadic everywhere; The Xia army of the Northern Court Metropolitan Protectorate invaded the Kipchak steppe every year, killing their people, plundering their cattle, sheep and property, so the Kipchaks hated the Xia army very much.
After learning of the Xia invasion of Khorezm, the Kipchaks quickly marched south with an army of 100,000 to support the battle, and the Seljuk Empire in the south was also ready to move; Galgar prepared a total of 350,000 troops in the city of Koti, and these were all the elites of Khorezm, more than twice the size of the Xia army.
At the same time, fearing that the Seljuk Empire might take the opportunity to intervene in the war, Li Yi, the capital of Anxi, personally led 60,000 Anxi troops into Samad to prevent accidents.
Because the Xia army has artillery and heavy equipment, the march is very slow, and what is more troublesome is that it needs to pass through a desert of more than 100 miles, so the speed of the Xia army is far behind the assembly speed of the Khorezm army, and the Xia army Galega does not dare to hold it up in the face of the megatron, and the preparation is very sufficient, and a large amount of grain, grass, and dried meat are stored in the city of Koti, and the victory or defeat of this battle will be related to the future of Li Bingchang and the final belonging of the entire Central Asia.
Half a month later, Li Bingchang led the army to finally come to Ri'an, from Li'an along the Amu Darya River to reach Koti, but from Li'an to Koti can be a short distance, Li Bingchang did not divide his troops this time, but gathered all the troops together, slowly advanced to Koti, and destroyed all the places along the way, and the Xia army was a veritable saboteur.
These two days of overtime, followed by another chapter:
