841 Reinforcement
The Khazanian army evacuated in a hurry, leaving a lot of food. The people here in Hanhai City finally don’t have to eat a meal a day, and now it’s the time for planting. Now that the army retreats, it’s time to cultivate it. With any luck, there will still be a good harvest this fall.
In the past two days, Hanhai City has been very busy. The people withdrew from the city and returned to normal life. The army was also resting and everything was recovering in an orderly manner. This time it was really miserable. The people all looked like beggars, not only in ragged clothes, but also skinny, but fortunately no one was starved to death. As for the cattle and sheep raised in the past, most of them have been eaten, and only a little bit is left for planting. The fields are also overgrown with weeds, looking decayed, and the whole country is lifeless. But the people know that as long as there is no war, everything will be restored, and they are also looking forward to their king's return, because many people believe that it is precisely because the king is not there that this siege will result.
No matter what the people think, what Kuroko wants most now is to figure out what is going on this time and why the big cannibal has withdrawn like this, because he needs to know the details before he can arrange the plunder, and wants to restore Huoxun’s vitality immediately. , He has to do this, and his target has already been selected, that is, the Khazanite, the food side, the looting is almost looted, and it is necessary to change places, after all, the Khazanite’s There are many herders, and cattle and sheep are also very valuable.
Just when Heizi was about to send out spies to inquire about the news, Ahir's people finally sent news of the food. After Heizi learned about it, he hurried back to the Daying Commander's Mansion.
In the hall, Heizi saw the visitor, and without waiting for him to salute, Heizi asked, "I heard that you brought the news, or the news of the food, let's talk about it, what's the matter?"
The visitor raised his chest and said after a salute: "Big Chief, the Second Chief is back with a large number of artillery and musketeers. Only then did we win the Qing and Suppression Army, and now the Second Chief is taking people to attack Iraq. The city of Sfahan is gone, and His Royal Highness personally led tens of thousands of troops to land from the sea, saying that they were going to attack Basra, Kufa and Damascus on the front line. Now the eclipse retreats, it is estimated that the second leader and His Royal Highness succeeded. "A genius remembers Chinese in one second 8/1/z/o/m/
"Hehe, oops, good you Zhang Da, you really got reinforcements." After a cheerful sentence, Heizi asked again: "When were you sent to spread the news?"
"Returning to the big chief, the younger one came from Herat a month ago. The second chief confessed that if the big food army retreats, let the little one bring the news, and the younger one came after the big food army withdrew. Come here to report the letter."
Heizi nodded, and then let the people go down. He knew what happened, but after all, this was news from a month ago. No one knows what the eclipse is like now, but Heizi knows one thing. Zhang Da and Li You would be in trouble if the army evacuated by the food army returned to help. After that, he went to Tanzburg's mansion.
Tanzberg is much better now. After all, Huoxun is still there, and the army retreats. This is good news. As soon as this person's spirit is good, his illness will naturally be half gone. Tanzberg himself is also a heart disease. That's all, he was afraid that he could not complete Yi Wu's entrustment, and he was also afraid that Huo Xun Guo would be destroyed in his own hands. Now, it's different, and everything has turned for the better.
When Heizi came over and did not bring the news to Tanzberg, his illness disappeared, because he knew that, in any case, in the past few years, there will never be another big war. Just give Huo time, Huo Xun will eventually become stronger.
Tanzberg can also understand what Heizi is worried about. After all, the lone army goes deep, and if something unexpected happens, he may be overwhelmed. But he still said to Heizi: "Big Chief, I know your worries. But you also have to believe in His Royal Highness. Since he dared to do this, he has a certain degree of certainty. Now that the food army retreats, His Royal Highness will probably follow along."
"General Tanzberg, I know these naturally. I am looking for you today just to ask, if His Royal Highness succeeds, the food will fall apart. At such a good time, do you think His Royal Highness will give up? You also know , His Royal Highness is attacking the heart of the Great Food Empire. Where can there be no less than 200,000 troops, and from the current intelligence, it is estimated that His Royal Highness really succeeded, otherwise the Great Food Army will not withdraw. If this is the case, The more than 100,000 troops who withdrew said that the inconvenience was a real trouble."
Tanzberg thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, if His Royal Highness lays down the Great Food King Capital, we will not take advantage of it, and we will fall into the hands of others. His Royal Highness should not give up such a good thing. A chance, hiss, it seems that the retreating food army is indeed a big trouble!"
Heizi continued: "So, I plan to lead my army to help. I'm here to ask the old general."
"Big Chief, you don't have to be so polite, this is what I should do, you can rest assured that nothing will happen here."
"Well, I plan to lead my army out tomorrow."
Heizi is so anxious that he naturally wants to hurry up. After all, the food army has been withdrawn for several days. If he takes his time slowly, it may not be too late.
The next day, Heizi set off with fifty thousand cavalry. They only brought tents, water bags, and food and grass for a month. They didn’t bring any other unnecessary items, even consumables such as feather arrows. I didn't bring much, only more than 300 carriages.
Huoxun is a full cavalry, and this is thanks to Da Shi. If it weren't for their repeated use of troops against Huoxun, where did Huoxun come with so many horses, they can now rely on these horses to catch up with the food army.
Qiyad Ibn’s army is very mixed, including cavalry and various types of soldiers, as well as equipment and auxiliary troops for transporting food and grass. They have all kinds of equipment, including siege equipment. If you want to retreat quickly, it is fundamental. impossible. When he arrived at Grega, he took only 20,000 cavalry and a 10,000 infantry team composed of sword shield soldiers and heavy archers and left first. He needs to catch up with the front army quickly, and then select the elite from there. Then you can quickly return to the capital.
As for the rest, as long as they reach Hamadan, there is basically nothing wrong with him. He has not considered the rebels. After all, the rebels dare not stop the 100,000 army. As for the Huoxun Army, he didn't think they would chase it. After all, the Huoxun's vitality was severely injured, and it would be good to be able to keep it. Even if he wanted to fight, he might not even have enough rations.
Qiyad Ibn’s thinking is absolutely clear and correct, but he did not consider the Khazanian factor. If he knew that the Khazanite gang had returned after a defeat, they would have left Huoxun behind. With a large amount of food and grass, he would never dare to pick the elite to take the lead.
In the city of Nishapur, Ziyad Ibn caught up with the front army here, and also picked people away. He took 60,000 elite troops and rushed towards the king. He also asked the front army to wait for the rear army here, and waited until they combined 90,000 troops before heading to Hamadan. After all, he was also afraid of dividing his troops and being attacked and killed by the rebels. After the combined forces, this kind of risk would also be possible. Evaded. (End of this chapter)
