Three hundred and fifty-four chapters heavy siege
After the troops of various units were set off, Li Liangzuo led 10,000 cavalry to Balashaguon, the capital of the Black Khan Dynasty. Now Balashaguon is empty, and most of its troops have been transferred to the front line by Suleiman. After Li Liangzuo led his army to the city of Balashaguon, he did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he set up camp outside the city and led a small number of personal guards into the city. Li Liangzuo was unprecedentedly welcomed in Balashaguon. The heads were Dekru and Witson of the Black Khan Dynasty. At this time, Witson had been appointed as prime minister by Suleiman because of his successful invitation to reinforcements from the Xia army.
As soon as Li Liangzuo arrived at the Khan tent, Witson received a letter of help from Suleiman again. Suleiman said in the letter: "Since the city of Tiemen Pass has been broken, Ben Khan has retreated to Samah, but the enemy has been chasing him closely. Now Ben Khan has been surrounded by the heavy troops of the Samah army. Our soldiers are desperately defending each other, but the soldiers are small and small, which is not the opponent of the Samah army. Please send reinforcements to Samah to rescue quickly. One hundred thousand are urgent..."
After reading the letter of help, Witson said like Li Liangzuo, who was visiting the Khan tent, "I have worked hard for Emperor Xia to come from afar. I should have asked Emperor Xia and his Xia army warriors to repair for a few days. However, the front line was extremely urgent. Tens of thousands of troops led by Khan were surrounded in Samo. My subordinates asked His Majesty to send troops to rescue him quickly."
"Are you surrounded again?" Li Liangzuo said in surprise. "Can you khan fight? You have only started the war for more than two months and have lost three consecutive games. I believe that the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Black Khan Dynasty have basically been lost!"
"The Certificate Army has strong combat power, and our soldiers have been comfortable for a long time, so they will be defeated again and again. Now that Your Majesty has arrived, the reinforcements of the Xia army have arrived, the Khan and his subordinates are at ease. With Your Majesty and the powerful troops of the Celestial Dynasty, defeating the Certificate Army is just around the corner."
"Okay, stop flattering." Li Liangzuo said without any face; "I have traveled thousands of miles to help you protect the country and defend the enemy. Until now, my brothers under my command have not even had a drink of saliva. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Prince Dekelu bowed to Li Liangzuo and said, "It was my negligence. I will hold a banquet to entertain Your Majesty and his Xia army soldiers."
"This is almost the same." Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. Before I came here, I had already sent the main army to advance westward. I did not inform me about the military situation in advance. In order to ensure the safety of my Western Expedition Army, all the cities we pass along the way must be stationed by our Xia army. In addition, all the supplies for this expedition will be borne by you. At present, I have sent two armies, and the main army is coming with me and is now advancing on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Honghe River. The other is the Northern Army led by my legitimate son, Li Wu, King of Qin. I ordered to go south along the middle reaches of the Honghe River. After the two armies merge, they can form a new line of defense along the Honghe River to block the possibility of further eastward advancement..."
"But my father's khan..."
De Kru's words were stopped by Witson. Witson smiled and said: "Your Majesty's arrangement is so seamless. I admire you very much. But my Khan is still fighting against the Serbian army in Samo. Can Your Majesty send troops to support him so that the Khan can safely retreat to the Honghe defense line and then make a decision."
"If it makes sense, I will order troops to send rescue; but the ten thousand soldiers under my command are still stationed outside the city..."
Before Li Liangzuo finished speaking, Witson said to Li Liangzuo: "My dear minister has prepared a barracks for the soldiers of the Celestial Empire in the city. The soldiers of the Celestial Empire can move in at any time. Your Majesty will live in the Khan's tent tonight. I wonder what Your Majesty wants?"
"Well, it's good, it's good, let's do it like this!"
After leaving the Khan tent, Dekru asked Witson angrily: "Why did you agree to Li Liangzuo to let him live in the Khan tent, and allow the Xia army to enter the city? Who gave you the right?"
Witson looked at Dekru with contempt and said, "Do you think you can stop the Xia army's actions now? I told the Xia Emperor that this time came for Balashaguen City, and even if you prevent them from entering the city, they will come in; do you think that with the thousands of old and weak in the city, they can be the opponent of the Xia army's elite? Don't dream in daydreams, I tell you that if you want to save your life, protect the Khanate and your Khan position in the future, you must listen to me."
"Where is Father Khan?" Dekru asked.
"The Khan probably won't be back." Witson said meaningfully.
"You mean father Khan... won't Xia Jun send troops to rescue..."
"Nether Xia is more than anyone else's wish that the Khan cannot come back! What if the Khan comes back? Now he is already leading the wolf into the house. Do you think it is possible if you want the wolf to leave obediently?"
In the end, the 10,000 elite Xia army soldiers brought by Li Liangzuo entered the city of Balashaguen and quickly occupied various strategic areas in the city. Balashaguen completely fell into the hands of Li Liangzuo, and as Li Liangzuo's various armies continued to follow up, the areas north and east of the Honghe River had basically fallen into the hands of the Xia army. Since Suleiman signed an agreement with Li Liangzuo, the Xia army basically did not face any resistance when it entered the city, and many people even thought that the Xia army was here to help them.
Moreover, after entering these places, the Xia army strictly abides by military discipline without destroying the property of the people at all. They also took the initiative to help them. It was a world of difference compared with the army of the Black Khan Dynasty. For this reason, the Xia army greatly won the hearts of the local people. What Li Liangzuo wanted was to completely occupy the entire Black Khan Dynasty and turn it into his own base of advance. Of course, some soldiers also violated military discipline, and all of these people were dealt with in accordance with military laws.
After Li Liangzuo's Xia army stopped advancing along the Hong River, they also built fortifications according to the direction of the river. It was obvious that Li Liangzuo's first stage was mainly defense. After all, there was no clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Seljuk army, and Li Liangzuo would not advance rashly.
Li Liangzuo did not advance, but Suleiman was destroyed. Now the city of Samo, which Suleiman was stationed, has been surrounded by the Serbian army, and the surrounding area is incomplete. In order to allow Suleiman to continue to hold on, Li Liangzuo not only did not tell Suleiman that there were no reinforcements, but instead sent spies to tell Suleiman that the Xia army had arrived in Honghe and was preparing to cross the river, but was blocked by the Serbian army. The two sides were currently fighting, so they must stick to it.
In the headquarters of Suleiman in Samo City, Suleiman laughed with the letter sent by Li Liangzuo, "Tell your brothers that our reinforcements have arrived and are fighting with the Serbian army now. Let your brothers defend them, and we still have hope."
"Yes, khan..."
"Now the food, weapons and stones we store in the city are enough for us to use for three months. As long as we continue to persevere, we will definitely achieve the final victory..."
Suleiman said this to the soldiers, but he didn't think so in his heart. Suleiman was not sure whether Li Liangzuo would send troops to rescue him, but Suleiman must stick to him, because only by perseverance can there be hope. Now the only thing Suleiman can do is pray, pray that Li Liangzuo can be kind to send troops to rescue him.
