Chapter 36: The Thorn Attacks

"Gao", Gu Shihan waved his whip vigorously and thrust hard on the horse's buttocks. The horse was in pain and ran forward desperately.

The warm spring breeze blew towards him, and the sound of horse hooves like rolling thunder rang throughout the world. Behind him, a hundred thousand-watt iron cavalry rode his horse, like a rolling torrent, about to swallow everything in front of him.

Gu Shihan liked this feeling very much. He led thousands of troops to crush the enemy directly, and then his property, women, and the plump grassland would all be all for him. How happy it would be!

The Hami Guard is ahead. As long as the Hami Guard is occupied and Jiayuguan is captured, the Ming Dynasty's flower world will be snatched by him. He seemed to see endless wealth, and countless beauties are waving to him.

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, he couldn't help but raise his whip again and thrust the horse hard. The horse's galloping faster and faster. The feeling of extreme speed made him feel excited.

The Watsakhan Court is only more than a thousand miles away from the Hami Guard. If you run at full speed, you can reach it in less than two days. In order to maintain the horsepower, he led his army to nearly three days before he arrived at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains north of the Hami Guard yesterday afternoon.

After half an afternoon and one night of rest, the 200,000 army was full of energy, and it was time for the Ming army to tremble!

Early this morning, he directly led a 100,000-watt iron cavalry to the Hami Guards dozens of miles away. As for the Kazakh cavalry, he sent him to the nearby hillside to cut down trees.

Although the Ming army's combat effectiveness was not very good, its resistance was very tenacious. Even if it was outnumbered, few people would open the door to surrender. Therefore, if they wanted to occupy the Hami Guard, there would definitely be a siege battle.

Although he was leading cavalry, he was not afraid of siege, because according to information a dozen days ago, the Hami Guards had only more than 10,000 defenders, and he had 200,000 people around him and attacked in turn. Let's see how long they could last!

In his opinion, it was impossible for the Qin army to increase troops to Hami, because Jiayuguan was more important to them, and there were five or six guards outside the pass to guard, so they could not even distinguish between troops.

Of course, it would be even better if they gathered their heavy troops in Hami Guards. They would test themselves for a day and then directly attack Jiayuguan. Once they rushed into the pass, the happy days would come!

It took not half an hour to ride a horse for dozens of miles. The Hami Guard in front was already looking at it. Gu Shihan raised his hand and pulled the reins slightly. The 100,000 troops began to slow down slowly with him.

When he was about three miles away from Hami Guard, the 100,000 cavalry finally stopped slowly. Without his orders, the cavalry behind them were automatically arranged into square formations. From a distance, it looked like a terrifying black line appeared on the ground plane.

Gushihan took out the telescope that Rozov gave him, raised it skillfully, and looked at the city wall.

This is a good thing. You can see the scenery several miles away clearly. When Rozov gave it to him, he couldn't let it go. He held it and looked around every day. After playing for nearly a month, the novel feeling gradually faded.

The city walls in the distance were covered with Ming troops as he expected. The city walls of Hami Guards were not wide at all. On one side, two thousand people were almost full. There were more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and it was not surprising that the entire city wall was covered.

He curled his lips disdainfully and snorted coldly in his heart: "Hmph, I don't know how to live or die, even this little man dares to resist the 200,000 army. Wait until the ladder is built, it depends on how many rounds you can hold on."

At this time, Hou Gongji also held up a telescope and looked at the cavalry of the Watshu tribe. A rare smile appeared on his resolute face. This is all military merit. I hope they can attack for a few more rounds, preferably siege from all sides, so that they can accumulate more military merits.

He knew that not all the 100,000 cavalrymen in front of him were cutting trees under his feet in the sky and preparing to build a ladder.

Gu Shihan always thought that the Ming army would be caught off guard, but he didn't know that the Ming army had already prepared, and they were so desperate that they were stationed under a Ming army post last night. They could see clearly what the Ming army post was doing.

Hou Gongji was not in a hurry. He knew that the wass cavalry on the opposite side would sooner or later get off the horse to attack the city.

Gushikhan was not in a hurry. He didn't take this Ming army seriously. If there was no Ming army in the city, he might be able to take down Hami Guards today; if there were many Ming army in the city, it would be okay. Tomorrow, he would lead his army to attack Jiayuguan!

The two sides confronted each other quietly, neither fighting nor scolding, as if they had reached a tacit understanding.

An hour later, the Kazakh cavalry finally came over with the cut trees one after another. Since today they were just tentative attacks and only built ladders, they did not need much wood, and they did not need too thick wood.

This time, Jianggel Khan did not come with the army. The one who led the Kazakh cavalry was Alyd Taiji. Before he arrived, he received the instructions from Jianggel Khan. He could appropriately obey Gushi Khan's orders and fight, but he could not charge in front of him.

So, Gu Shihan asked him to lead his army to cut down trees, and he happily agreed.

At this moment, Gu Shihan saw that they had cut the wood and started to assign tasks again.

It’s very simple. On all sides of Hami Guards, each side is 25,000 watts of Iron Cavalry and 25,000 Kazakh Cavalry. The Kazakh Cavalry is responsible for making ladders, and the Tissue Cavalry is responsible for siegeing the city.

He had only one requirement for Asayed, that is, before noon, at least five hundred ladders would be built on each side.

Of course, Aside had no objection. As long as he was not allowed to attack the city, it was easy to make a ladder.

As for the Watshu cavalry, they rest before noon, and when noon arrives, they launch at the same time, and tentative attacks in three rounds, with 5,000 people in the first round, and 10,000 people in the second round and 3 rounds.

After everything was arranged, 200,000 cavalry scattered around and surrounded Hami Guards. That posture seemed like a crazy attack on the city and not letting go of any of them.

Hou Gongji saw all this in the telescope, and a smile appeared on his tough face again. It would be great to attack the city from all sides. The more people come, the more they die. If they attack one side, it would be bad. The wall was so wide that how many people could pile up.

As for the question of whether to defend or not, we don’t have to consider it at all. Not only does the other party not have artillery, but also does not see a single musket. So what if there are 200,000 troops? If they desperately attack the city, their 50,000 troops will even kill them!

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

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

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

Because the city wall of Hami Guard is only so wide, the enemy cannot rush forward and will definitely attack in batches. Therefore, he asked his generals to try not to fight too hard in the first round, so that the enemy can see hope, so that the enemy will attack the city with fierce force.

He also knew that the Wassat Alliance would definitely not fight to the death here. They were cavalrymen. Even though they knew they could not capture them, they would definitely run to another place to try their luck.

If they fight too hard in the first round, they are likely to give up siege and leave directly.
