Chapter 1222

In the battle of the river, the third hard city is Samarkand in hualazzimo.

Samarkand is an extremely ancient city. Timur led the Indian Mughal Empire in a fierce offensive and defensive war with the desert army, Mobei army, western region army and Tubo army.

Timur took Samarkand as the supply point, and used the continuous supply of grain, grass and weapons from the Indian peninsula to supply the army and carry out the war of attrition.

When Timur's army was in front of him, he did not besiege the city for the Xia army. Samarkand's transport array could transport materials, troops and horses day and night.

The Xia army's supplies mainly came from Dawan state and needed to maintain a long supply line. Therefore, the fourth route soldier mana Timur had nothing to do.

Timur has a large population of the Indian peninsula as a backer, but also backed by a transmission array, war of attrition, advantaged.

Shi Wansui, Han qiehu, and he ruobi rushed to Timur's camp all night, trying to break his protection of Samarkand. However, Timur had been prepared to drive away the armored battle elephants at night, causing serious damage to the three generals of Sui Dynasty, and he ruobi was seriously injured.

Every time the Xia army organized an offensive, Timur used the armored elephant as his meat shield, and then with the help of the bow and arrow salvo from the rear, he asked the priest to provide gain for the cannon fodder arms, and used the sea of men tactics to repel the Xia army.

After a long time, the Xia army was short of food, grass and weapons, and the attack was weak.

When the decisive battle broke out in the middle of the river, Li Mu, di Qing, Lun Qinling and other generals gathered the last grain and weapons to attack Timur, which made Timur unable to support the golden family.

The war between the two sides outside Samarkand was extremely fierce. Because the supply line was too long, many Xia soldiers could only fight with weapons with reduced durability. On the way, the durability disappeared and the blade was rolled. Timur killed a lot.

As many as 30 generals were killed in the Tubo army!

Most of Tubo's heart is dripping with blood.

Since the beginning of the game, the elite of the Tubo capital's protector has almost died in the war with Timur.

At the peak, Timur was second only to the commander-in-chief of the holy rank. He also had many Indian generals under his command. With his huge population, he severely damaged the Xia army.

You know, the Tibetan army can only gather 100000 people to participate in the first western expedition of the great Xia Dynasty, and Timur mobilized millions of soldiers of the Mughal Empire of India, which is not the limit of the Indian peninsula.

At the limit of the Indian peninsula, three million or even five million troops can be deployed.

In a series of wars between the Tibetan army and Timur, only 40000 survivors were left, and 60% of them died!

In the war, Tubo lacked strategy, but it was extremely brave. The front team often died, and the back team went on again.

Now, in the north of Samarkand, there are still 40000 surviving Tibetan troops falling down!

Timur's elephant army no longer leads the battle, but appears in the battlefield after the fierce battle between the two sides. Timur directly lets the elephant army trample on the battlefield regardless of the enemy or ourselves!

In Timur's eyes, sacrificing the lower caste can be exchanged for the Xia army's hundred battles division, so it is worth the money. Anyway, the meaning of the existence of the lower caste is cannon fodder!

"Daduhu, if it goes on like this, all our Tibetan army will be destroyed!"

A Tibetan warrior could not stand the extremely fierce war and the terrible loss ratio. He almost cried to Zhaxi.

It can make a man who has been fighting for a long time cry. It can be seen that the tragedy of the war has exceeded the psychological tolerance of most people.

"I know! But, behind is the country, cannot retreat Tubo mostly protect Zhaxi draw a sword, "all protect Fu guard, come with me!"

Zhaxi, with the last reserve of Tubo army, the 1000 member Dufu guard, saw death as if he were alive and put into a fierce war!

Their task is to contain Timur, even if all the troops will be put together, but also to complete the task!

Even if Timur could defeat them, the price Timur paid was too much to fight for the middle of the river.

At this time, the Tibetan army can only do its best.

The only thing that can stop them from fighting is the news of victory coming from the decisive battle in the middle of the river. Only in this way can the Xia army in Samarkand withdraw calmly.

This is a division of labor and a mission.

If you lose the decisive battle in the river, the rivers and mountains in the Central Plains behind will be conquered by the enemy!

At this time, Chutian had won, but the news had not yet spread to the Xia army in the field of Samarkand!

Under the leadership of daduhu, a thousand Tibetan guards attacked Timur's heavy cavalry!

Two cavalry hit each other. One of them hit each other's helmet with an iron bone flower, while the other's spear penetrated the lock armour of the Tibetan cavalry!

Crowded battlefield, almost no fancy action, there is not much room to avoid, all soldiers in the most effective way to kill the enemy in front of us!

"Mother, I have never experienced such a terrible war. If I could capture and kill Timur at the beginning, it might not be so hard."

The situation of the western region army, which mostly protected huo'an, was only a little better than that of the Tubo army.The population of Duhufu in the western regions is three or four times larger than that of Tubo, and there are also many military generals.

Even so, Huo an also fell into a very fierce war.

Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses from the capital of the western regions participated in the western expedition and conquered Dawan, killing and injuring about forty thousand people, capturing a group of Uzbek cavalry, and maintaining the strength to the scale of two hundred thousand.

However, in the war of Samarkand, the western region army has killed 60000 people!

Tang General Li Siye and Gao Xianzhi attack Timur's army, and Timur's army tramples on him!

Li Siye's Datang Modao team can deal with heavy cavalry, but it is a little weak when facing the battle elephant army. Li Siye is hit by the armored battle elephant and is seriously injured immediately!

Gao Xianzhi's Anxi army suffered heavy losses under the attack of the elephant army.

In order to win, Timur was already crazy. After the war between the Indian army and the Anxi army, he drove the elephant army to rush all the way from the rear of the Indian army, which made it difficult for the Anxi army to avoid.

Wanyanyinshu can lead the Nuzhen cavalry to attack the enemy's array continuously. The Nuzhen cavalry almost ran out. At last, they were besieged by thousands of Indian soldiers and died in the enemy's array!

The Xia army's successive containment made Timur realize that something big must happen, so he was more anxious to join wokuotai, so he tried his best to attack.

Some generals of the Xia army were killed in the battle, and the Mughal Empire of India was defeated at the expense of its troops.

The Indian princes looked at each other, their generals, each with casualties, had stopped.

Timur and these princes are like crazy gamblers. Now that they have invested the cost, they will see the result.

"Lord tutuhu, your majesty has finally heard that our army has won a great victory!"

When Huo an could hardly insist because of the heavy losses, the news from Chutian finally came from the nearest city!

In order to bring the news to Samarkand battlefield as soon as possible, the herald's cavalry killed three horses alive!

"Finally, we can withdraw. Tell Li Mu of the southern desert army, Prince Yan of the northern desert army, and Zhaxi of the Tibetan army to withdraw alternately! The western region army and the Tubo army are one team, and the Monan army and the Mobei army are one team! "

Hoan was relieved.

Timur, who won the support of the Indian peninsula, played the art of human naval warfare. Huoan's current troops really couldn't beat Timur, so he decided to withdraw.

The decisive battle in the middle of the river was won, and the first World War was settled in the middle of the river. The strategic goal has been achieved.

With the support of Samarkand and Indian princes, Timur won the tactical victory, but it could not change the outcome that the Hezhong area belonged to the great Xia Dynasty, and it was likely that Timur would be forced to give up Samarkand.

The strategic level is higher than the tactical level.

Li Mu, Prince Yan, Zhaxi and other commanders were relieved when they received the news. They cooperated with each other and retreated alternately, not giving Timur a chance to win completely.

"Xia army begins to retreat!"

"Catch up with them, work hard and destroy them!"

The Indian princes lost a lot of money. Seeing that the four groups of soldiers and horses of the Xia army retreated alternately, they thought that their own side had won a great victory, so they wanted to go forward to pursue and kill in order to expand the victory.

Timur saw the summer army retreat, but fell into hesitation.

The Xia army suddenly attacked in a large scale and retreated backward. Then, most of the results of the decisive battle in the river had come out.

Timur was always delayed in Samarkand by the four Xia armies, unable to go north to join wokuotai, which made Timur unable to face the power of the golden family.

"If Khan wins, he can pursue and completely eliminate hundreds of thousands of Xia troops in front of him. If Khan fails Maybe we should go back to the Indian peninsula, put down the rebellion, and then become the king of India. "

Timur had a plan in mind.

The gold family's victory is the most ideal situation. He can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then take possession of the Indian peninsula.

If the golden family fails and the prairie empire collapses, then he can only rule the Indian peninsula separately.

"Haven't you heard from Khan yet!"

Timur suddenly became impatient.

He needs accurate information in order to make corresponding decisions.

At this time, tanmachi, a member of the gold family, reported: "Lord Timur, Khan is defeated and is retreating to the Caspian Sea to enter Persia! Khan has an order, invitation. Lord mu'er will stick to the Indian peninsula and make a comeback in the East! "

"How could..."

The Indian princes turned pale when they defeated the Indian princes.

They fought fiercely with Xia army for a long time, and achieved tactical victory by virtue of their superiority in numbers and supplies, but they lost to the ground strategically.

The main force of the powerful gold family was defeated, and most of the Hezhong area became the territory of the Xia Dynasty!

But they won in part, but they could not occupy a piece of land, even Samarkand.

Sometimes, if you win on the surface, you lose!

"Return to Delhi one after another and take all the valuable property of Samarkand. Don't leave it to the Xia army."

Although Timur was somewhat depressed, as a hero, he had already imagined the result. Therefore, Timur was not discouraged.The real heroes, starting from scratch, are far more determined than ordinary people and have been defeated many times.

This is also the difference between Changxiong and Xiaoren.

After the defeat of the decisive battle in the middle of the river, the selzhu empire was basically reduced to the failure scope of the Xia Dynasty. Under the attack of the Xia army, the king of Chu might come to join Huoan and attack Samarkand together at any time.

That's why Timur gave up the city when he learned that the gold family was defeated.

If you take away all the property of this city and destroy it, it will reduce some losses.

On the contrary, if we continue to stick to it, sooner or later we will fall.

"Keep the Kushan Empire, Mughal Empire, wokuotai and Badu still in exile, then I Timur, the governor of the two countries will be soldiers and horses!"

Timur's ambition began to expand after Tiemuzhen died and wokuotai failed, and he occupied the two countries as his own. His territory was equivalent to Afghanistan and the Indian peninsula.

"What shall we do?"

"It's better to follow Timur. Timur allowed us to keep the fiefdoms, and the Chinese, who have always been hostile to us Indians, would rather drown in the Ganges if they ruled. "

"It can only be so."

After a simple trade-off, a group of Indian princes chose to support Timur.

Indian princes also have a lot of servility. They are obedient to those who conquer themselves.

After Timur made up his mind, he gathered his troops in Samarkand and began to retreat on a large scale.

The daily number of people in Samarkand's teleportation array is limited. Therefore, Timur simply marched on the map with all the residents of the city, retreated to the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, and then set fire to this ancient city.

"Goodbye, beautiful Samarkand..."

Timur rode on his horse and saw the black smoke of Samarkand. It was hard to say what it was like.

Millions of Indian troops bound hundreds of thousands of residents to the south. Along the way, it was inevitable that Indian princes would plunder and lay dead everywhere.

Huo an was surprised to learn that Timur set fire to the city and retreated to the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, but did not pursue it.

Timur's army was too large, and Huo an's force was at the end of his rope.

In addition, within the Lords, the Kushan empire was in the mountains of Afghanistan plus the north of India.

The mountainous areas of Afghanistan are famous "imperial cemeteries". Even the Mongols suffered losses in the epic Mongolian expedition to the West.

If we rush to the mountainous areas of Afghanistan when the army is in a bad state, we may lose our heads.

"In any case, this time, it will be much less difficult for the middle of the river region to conquer the mountainous areas of Afghanistan and the Indian peninsula."

It's not so easy to destroy the gold family for the first time.

According to Chutian's plan, during the second western expedition, the Kushan Empire and the Mughal Empire of India were all within the scope of attack.

"So the biggest obstacle to attacking the Indian peninsula is Timur."
