Daming Military Empire

Chapter 514 War on the Western Front (Fifth watch, thanks to T3485 for the great reward.)
It is said that Gushi Khan led 20 cavalry to raid Hamiwei. He originally wanted to take advantage of the Ming army's unpreparedness and take Hamiwei as a stronghold for invading the Shaanxi Xingdusi. He actually lost more than 4 horses.

Gushi Khan looked at the retreating remnants and defeated generals, then at Hamiwei, and roared unwillingly: "Head the order, the whole army gathers, and camps at the foot of Tianshan Mountain."

It's just a camp, why run for dozens of miles?

It’s not that he was frightened by the Ming army. It’s mainly because there is no water source near Hamiwei. Only when he returns to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains can there be melted snow water. The army of more than [-] people doesn’t know how much water they need to drink in a day. , who can stand it.

After arriving at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, he ordered the Kazakh cavalry to set up camp, and the Wacha cavalry began to bandage and heal the wounded soldiers.

I have to say that the iron bumps of the Ming army are really vicious, just like the legendary pear blossom needles in the rainstorm. When they exploded with a "boom", the steel needles within a few feet were densely packed indiscriminately. You can't die, but it can hurt you crazy.

Among the remaining 5 people in Wacha, except for the 2 who attacked in the first wave, basically everyone who escaped in the next two waves was recruited!
The feeling of being pierced with steel needles was indescribably painful. For a while, the Wacha Allied Army camp screamed continuously, just like a collective haunting.

Fortunately, the Ming army did not smear poison on the steel needle. After pulling out the steel needle, there was basically no serious problem.

I don't know how long it took, but the howling ghosts and howling wolves in the camp finally disappeared. After a night of rest, the Wacha cavalry finally regained a little vitality.

After a burst of orders, Gushi Khan took all the lightly wounded with him, managed to gather 5 horses, and rushed towards Jiayuguan with [-] Kazakh cavalry. The remaining [-] horses slowly retreated.

These naturally could not escape the eyes of the guards on the Tianshan Mountains. After the news was sent back to Hamiwei, Hou Gongji did not take any action, because in the wasteland, the [-] infantry under him were no match for the Wacha cavalry at all.

Don't look at their butts being beaten to the ground when they attacked the city. This is entirely due to the advantages of the city. In the wasteland, they don't need 20, only [-] cavalry, and they can definitely kill [-] infantry.

Hou Gongji just watched as Gushi Khan led 15 cavalry to bypass Hamiwei and headed for Jiayuguan. He did not take any action to stop the advance of the Wacha allied forces, but sent a seal to the Handongwei behind. Telegram, reminding them that the Wacha coalition forces have passed.

Therefore, when Gushi Khan ran to Handongwei, what he saw was also the Ming army standing on the city wall, which was no different from that of Hamiwei.

Gushi Khan did not lead his army to attack, but continued to rush towards Jiayuguan.

It is about a thousand miles from Hamiwei to Jiayuguan. There are three guards in the middle, Handongwei, Shazhouwei and Chijin Mongoliawei. Gushi Khan did not stop at all. After observing it, I found that the Ming army was really on the city wall, so I immediately ran away.

The more he rushed forward, the happier he was. It seemed that Sun Chuanting, the leader of the Ming army, was not as powerful as the legend said. He was overshadowed by the Ming army gathered in Hamiwei, but it didn't matter, whether he won or not Hamiwei is not the key to this battle, Jiayuguan is the life gate of the Ming army.

I don't know if Sun Chuanting is too confident, or he just can't figure out the point. He actually stationed so many Ming troops in Hamiwei, and the Handongwei, Shazhouwei and Chijin Mongoliawei along the way are the capitals on the city wall. There are no fewer than 3 people. Calculated in this way, there are at most [-] or [-] Ming troops stationed in Hamiwei. Isn't he looking for death!

As long as Jiayuguan is taken, the gate of the northwest of Ming Dynasty will be opened immediately, and more than [-] cavalry will rush into the pass. Who can stop it?
With excitement, he ran all the way with 15 cavalry, and it took him only two days to reach the vicinity of Jiayuguan.

Early in the morning of the third day, he ran excitedly outside Jiayuguan with 15 people, but he was dumbfounded.

There are [-] to [-] Ming army cavalry standing outside the pass, and the Great Wall is even densely packed with Ming troops, the number is definitely more than [-] to [-]!

Now he finally understood that it wasn't that Sun Chuanting didn't understand the point, but that the Ming army came to reinforce him.

Look at this, the Ming army has at least [-] reinforcements, and he was once again played by Rozov and Kopelov, why the Ming army can't send reinforcements, and even if the Ming army summons reinforcements, it will take several months, shit!
Looking at the heavily guarded Ming army, he had to grit his teeth and lead the army back. As for attacking Jiayuguan at this time, what a joke, there are tens of thousands of cavalry standing under the city wall, and he can't even touch the city wall.

There are cannonballs raining on the head, and the cavalry of the Ming army are in front, and they ran up to attack the city. This is not the way to seek death!
Seeing the Wacha Allied Forces running back in despair, Sun Chuanting on the top of the city gate couldn't help showing a faint smile.

This is just the beginning, if the Oach Allied Forces are led by his nose for half a month, he is absolutely sure to defeat them.

Why did he gather the cavalry under Jiayuguan instead of Hamiwei?This is actually done to wear down the enemy army.

If he gathers the cavalry under Hami Weicheng, then the Wacha cavalry will definitely not dare to attack the city, and they will not even come to Jiayuguan.

Obviously, it is impossible for the Qin army to have so many cavalry. It must be reinforcements. He is still running to Jiayuguan, stupid?
In that case, the Wacha cavalry will definitely retreat to the vicinity of the Tianshan Mountains, and wait for the infantry to come up before attacking the city together. In that case, wouldn't it make them keep recharging their energy.

It's different now. Gushi Khan led the cavalry to raid again, attack the city again, and rush again. From the beginning to the present, there has been no rest at all.

Moreover, he would have to continue running for two or three days before he could run back to the foot of the Tianshan Mountain near Hamiwei. When he ran back, it was estimated that their infantry would arrive at about the same time, and then he would have to lead the army to attack the city again!

What Sun Chuanting didn't expect was that Gushi Khan lost nearly [-] cavalry in Hamiwei. fault!

After Wacha lost the [-] cavalry, Sun Chuanting became more confident in defeating them.

Next, Gushi Khan led the army to continue to attack Hamiwei. Once the Wacha allied forces attacked Hamiwei, he led the army to the nearest Handongwei and waited. After he was exhausted from attacking the city, he immediately Rush forward and surprise them too!
As for this timing, it depends on the intensity of the Wacha allied forces attacking the city. If they send out ruthless people to attack the city continuously, then Hou Gongji can hold out for three days at most, that is to say, he must go to the city on the third night. Raid; if their siege is not strong, it will take more than ten days, and they will be exhausted.
