Chapter 1228 Look out for the wind and flee
The Gan army opened the city gate, and the soldiers rushed into the city, and the defenders inside retreated in a hurry.
Mooni was surrounded by his subordinates and retreated to the west city. There was a loud gunfire behind him. The brave soldiers of the army were already catching up with muskets.
The Gan Army and Infantry were divided into several teams, three people and one group, alternately covering and advancing rapidly on the streets.
A military infantry was loading invisible, and one infantry raised his gun to shoot, while the remaining one was carrying a musket, leaning his waist and quickly advanced forward.
The soldiers of each group moved forward alternately, and the retreating Yarkand soldiers were constantly slaughtering on the street.
"Open the city gate quickly!" Muni saw the Yerkand soldiers rolling and crawling back towards the city gate. The streets were filled with smoke, and they were so anxious that they roared.
This was the obstacle that the defenders moved open to the door. As soon as they opened a gap in the city gate, Mooni led a group of subordinates and rushed out of the city in a hurry.
"Your Majesty! The enemy troops in the city have run away from the west. Are the cavalry chasing them?" Gao Jie hurriedly reminded him when he saw the enemy troops fleeing out of the city.
Gao Huan looked at the enemy in a huge mileage mirror, and smiled and said, "Forget it! Get out of a passage and let them go."
The flag was waving, and the Gan Army and the Gui Han Army outside the West City stopped and stopped the war horses.
Seeing this, Mooni and others hurriedly thrust their horses buttocks and galloped westward.
Gao Huan did not kill all the soldiers, and the reputation of the Gan Army needed to spread these defeated soldiers.
After all, if you promote yourself, the enemy may feel that you are bragging about the army. The situation will be different if they are their own people say.
Gao Huan put away the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and said to the left and right: "One day I will break the city, the Yarkand people will be frightened. Next, the army will continue to go west and quickly collect the Yarkand cities. The shorter the time I use, the more panicked the Sengge! Haha~"
Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, if the army progresses too quickly, Sengge may be frightened and fleeing far away!"
Gao Huan put away his smile and pondered: "It makes sense. Then clean up the battlefield first and go to the city to have a meal!"
...
The Gan Army started attacking in the morning, and before noon, Turpan was captured by the Gan Army.
More than 10,000 Yarkand troops were killed and injured, thousands of captured people, and the rest fled west in a hurry.
The 80,000 soldiers were not in a hurry to pursue them. The soldiers slowly cleaned up the battlefield. After taking inventory, the army divided into two groups, led by Sun Chuanting into the southern border, advanced west along the northern foot of Kunshan, collected Qiemo and Yutian, and attacked Shache City.
Gao Huan led a large army to collect Yanqi, Kucha and other places, and stopped at Luntai.
The Gan Army's thunder strike in Turpan played a deterrent role. More than 10,000 Yarkand people relied on the city defense and caused only more than 100 casualties to the Gan Army, and they completely collapsed, which shocked the Yarkand people.
With propaganda of defeated soldiers and Yaolevas helped to persuade surrender, the two armies swept across the Yarkand cities like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, causing the defenders of each city to either surrender in sight or flee west in a hurry.
At this time, after Gao Huan's army arrived at Luntai, it stopped advancing westward, and the army and civilians temporarily stationed.
Luntai is near Kucha Town, the four towns of Anxi, Tang Dynasty, and was once the place where the Tang army was stationed.
Before going to war, Gao Huan ordered the Military Information Department to investigate the situation in the Western Regions and understand where the farmland is suitable. Luntai is one of the alternative places.
The Western Regions are actually a treasure land, but the Yarkand people are half-agricultural and animal husbandry, and their agricultural technology is relatively backward, and many of the land is not used, but if they are handed over to Ganchao, it would be different.
With his talent for farming, he will definitely be able to create several Western Regions and Jiangnan.
Above the Tianshan Mountains, covered with ice and snow for many years, the melted snow water flows down from the mountains, forming multiple streams.
Gao Huan rode a horse and stood on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. There was plenty of sunshine and enough water sources, making it a good place for agricultural production.
At this time, Gao Huan raised his horse whip, pointed to the land on both sides of the stream, and said to everyone with a smile: "The 100,000 civilians who came with the army will set up 100,000 households, and first reclaim the land near Luntai!"
At the emperor's order, the Gan Army and the civilians began to build water conservancy, reclaim land, and prepare for long-term garrison in the old land of the Anxi Protectorate.
While the Gan Army was developing in Luntai, another Gan Army, led by Sun Chuanting, advanced rapidly. After occupying Hotan, it continued to approach Shache City.
Shache City, the capital of Yerkand.
At this time, as the Gan army approached Shache, the Yerkand Khan Sima Yi and many Yerkand nobles in the city were already in fear.
In the Royal Palace of Shache City, Sima Yi was restless and paced back and forth in the hall. Suddenly he stopped and looked at Muni who had escaped and said, "Is the attack of killing people really that sharp?"
Muni was afraid of punishment, so he naturally exaggerated and said, "Khan, the Gan army's ability to attack the city is too strong. They attacked Turpan City in one attack."
Sima Yi looked ugly. When he participated in a military meeting held by Sengge in Yining City, he judged that the army would launch a large-scale expedition, and the food and grass he carried in one go could probably maintain the army's consumption for three to four months.
Sengge gave Sima Yi a lot of artillery, most of which were placed in Turpan City, hoping that the city could withstand the army for one to two months.
After the city is lost, he will resist step by step. When the Gan army approaches the Shache, the first batch of food and grass carried by the Gan army will probably be almost consumed.
At this time, the Junggar cavalry suddenly broke out and cut off the Gan army's food route and prevented the Gan Dynasty general from transporting the subsequent grain and grass to the Western Regions. Then the Gan army would have a great chaos in the food, and the victory would belong to Junggar and Yarkand.
But now, Turpan City has not fulfilled its mission, and has also surrendered with the rest of Yarkand cities. The Gan army approached Shache directly, causing Sima Yi to be disorganized, and the plan formulated by Sengge was destroyed.
When Sima Yi heard that the Ganjun attacked in one round, he took down the Turpan City, which he had high hopes for, and felt a little panicked. When Mooni added fire and told the way Ganjun attacked the city, he was completely depressed.
"So, Shache City can't resist the attack of the Gan Army!" Sima Yi walked back to the throne decadently, sat down, and seemed to be slumped on the chair.
The many Yerkand nobles in the hall were also panicked and whispered with worries with worry.
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came outside the hall. A Yarkand general hurried into the hall and gasped for reports: "Report to the Great Khan, the South Road Gan Army has captured Chuluk and approached the capital!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Sima Yi jumped up, "So fast?"
"Shan, what should I do?" A group of nobles panicked and exclaimed in surprise.
Sima Yi's face was gloomy and silent. Gan Jun approached Shache, leaving him with only two roads, either fighting or escaping.
After hearing that Ganjun's siege ability was so strong, Sima Yi dared to guard Shache.
