Daming Military Empire

Chapter 505
"Drive", Gushi Khan vigorously waved his leather whip, and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely. The horse suffered from pain and ran forward desperately.

The warm spring breeze was blowing head-on, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes resounded throughout the world. Behind him, a hundred thousand tile-thorned cavalry galloped, like a billowing torrent, about to swallow everything in front of him.

Gushi Khan liked this feeling very much. He led thousands of troops and crushed the enemy directly. Then, their property, women, and the fat grassland would all be his own. How refreshing it was!

In front is Hamiwei. As long as Hamiwei is occupied and Jiayuguan is captured, Daming's colorful world will be robbed by him. He seems to see endless wealth, and countless beauties are waving to him.

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, he couldn't help raising the whip again, and lashed the horse's buttocks hard, the horse ran faster and faster, and the feeling of extreme speed made his blood boil all over.

Waci Khan Court is only a thousand miles away from Hamiwei. If he runs at full speed, he can reach it in two days. In order to maintain horsepower, it took him nearly three days to lead his army to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the north of Hamiwei yesterday afternoon.

After half an afternoon and a night of rest, the 20 army is full of energy. It's time to make the Ming army tremble!
Early this morning, he directly led one hundred thousand tile cavalry to Hamiwei, which was dozens of miles away. As for the Kazakh cavalry, he sent him to cut trees on a nearby hillside.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not very good, the resistance awareness is very tenacious. Even if they are outnumbered, few will open the door to surrender. Therefore, to occupy Hamiwei, there must be a siege battle.

Although he led the cavalry, he was not too afraid of the siege battle, because according to the information more than ten days ago, Hamiwei's defenders were only more than 1 people, and he himself had 20 people, surrounded on all sides, taking turns Attack and see how long they can last!

In his mind, it was impossible for the Qin army to send more troops to Hami, because Jiayuguan was more important to them, and there were five or six guards outside the pass to guard, so they couldn't tell the difference between horses and troops.

Of course, it would be even better if they gathered heavy troops in Hamiwei, and then went directly to Jiayuguan after a day of testing. Once they rushed into the pass, the refreshing days would come!

It didn't take half an hour to ride the horse for a distance of tens of miles. Hamiwei was already in sight in front of him. Gushi Khan raised his hand and pulled the reins slightly. The [-] troops slowly slowed down along with him.

At a distance of about three miles from Hamiwei, the [-] cavalry finally stopped slowly. Without his order, the cavalry behind them all automatically lined up in a square formation. From a distance, it looked like a terrifying black line on the ground. Wire.

Gushi Khan took out the telescope that Rozov gave him, lifted it skillfully, and looked towards the city wall.

This is a good thing. You can clearly see the scenery several miles away. When Rozov gave it to him, he couldn't put it down. He held it every day and looked around. After playing with it for nearly a month, the novelty slowly faded away. .

As he expected, the city wall in the distance was covered with Ming troops. The city wall of Hamiwei was not wide in the first place, and 2000 people stood on one side, and it was almost full. There are more than 1 defenders in the city. It is not surprising that the entire city wall is covered. .

He curled his lips in disdain, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Huh, I don't know how to live or die. Even this small force dares to resist an army of 20. When the ladder is built, let's see how many rounds you can last."

At this time, Hou Gongji also held up his binoculars to look at the cavalry of the Wacha Department. A rare smile appeared on his resolute face. This is all military merit. I hope they can attack a few more rounds, preferably from all sides. , In that case, you can accumulate more military merits.

He knew that not all the [-] cavalry in front of him were cutting down trees at the foot of the sky, preparing to build ladders.

Gushi Khan always thought that the Ming army would be caught off guard, but he didn't know that the Ming army had already made preparations. Moreover, they happened to be stationed under a Ming army's sentry post last night. What were they doing? Clearly.

Hou Gongji was not in a hurry, he knew that sooner or later the Wacha cavalry on the opposite side would dismount and attack the city.

Gushi Khan is not in a hurry, he doesn't care about the Ming army. If there is no Ming army in the city, he may be able to take down Hamiwei today; if there are many Ming troops in the city, it doesn't matter. The army went straight to Jiayuguan!
The two sides faced each other quietly like this, neither fighting nor cursing, as if they had reached a tacit agreement.

An hour later, the Kazakh cavalry finally ran over one after another, dragging the cut trees. Since today it was only a tentative attack, and they only built ladders, they didn't need a lot of wood, and they didn't need too thick wood, so they didn't How much effort does it take.

This time Jianger Khan did not come with the army. The Kazakh cavalry was led by Assad Taiji. He had received Jianger Khan’s instructions before he came, and he could properly follow Gushi Khan’s dispatch. However, it is not possible to charge forward.

Therefore, Gushi Khan asked him to lead his army to cut down trees, and he readily agreed.

At this moment, Gushi Khan saw that they had cut the wood, and began to assign tasks again.

Very simple, the Hami Guards are surrounded by [-] Wathorn cavalry and [-] Kazakh cavalry on each side. The Kazakh cavalry is responsible for making ladders, and the Wathorn cavalry is responsible for attacking the city.

He has only one requirement for Assad, that is, at least five hundred ladders must be built on each side before noon.

Assad naturally has no objection, as long as he is not allowed to attack the city, it is easy to talk about building ladders.

As for the Wacha cavalry, they rested before noon, and when noon came, they launched a tentative attack on all sides at the same time, with 5000 people in the first round, and 1 people in the second and third rounds.

After everything was arranged, the 20 cavalry scattered and surrounded the Hami Guards. That posture gave the impression that they were attacking the city like crazy, and they would not let anyone go.

Hou Gongji saw all this through the binoculars, and smiled again on his resolute face. It’s good to attack the city from all sides. The more people come, the more people die. It’s not good if they attack one side wildly. The city wall is so wide. How many people can be piled up.

As for the question of whether to defend or not, there is no need to think about it at all. Not only does the opponent have no artillery, but they have not seen a single musket. Exhausted!

Seeing that some of their cavalry were frantically building ladders, while the other cavalry began to dismount to rest, Hou Gongji knew that they would not attack for the time being, so he said: "Be careful."

Then, he walked down the city wall and called the generals above the battalion to hold a brief combat meeting.

His meaning is also very simple, that is to try to attract the enemy to attack the city.

Because Hamiwei's city wall is only so wide, the enemy can't swarm up all at once, and they will definitely attack in batches. Therefore, he asked his generals not to fight too hard in the first round, and let the enemy see hope, so that the enemy can They will attack the city fiercely.

He also knew that the Wacha Allied Forces would definitely not fight to the death here. They were cavalry, and knowing that they couldn't attack, they would definitely run to other places to try their luck.

If they fought too hard in the first round, they might give up the siege and leave directly.

That's all military merit, how could they let them leave so easily!
