When Li Ye arrived at Balasagun City, he was with the main force of the Spike Army. At this time, Chu Zheng and his vanguard, thirty thousand cavalry, had already wiped out the Black Khanate forces on the periphery of the city.
"The cavalry of the Black Khanate came out to fight the last general three times, and they were all beaten back by the last general. In the last round, the last general beheaded their heavy cavalry general. Since then, the gate of Suiye City has been completely closed, and there has been no people come out."
When Chu Zheng followed Shangguan Qingcheng to report the military situation, there was no complacency, only a relaxed and reasonable face. Obviously, for him, although the Spike Army he leads is only 30,000, in terms of battle, he must be able to sweep the Black Khanate army in Suiye City.
"This is the capital of the Black Khanate, where the most elite army of the Black Khanate is concentrated. The most commendable of them is the guard army established by Satuk. It has strict discipline, strong combat power, and many monks. Its system follows the example of The Great Food Gulam Guards, so it can be regarded as the Black Khanate-style Gulam Guards."
After Chu Zheng withdrew, Shangguan Qingcheng said to Li Ye, "Satuk was injured in He Lie City, and he has been living in seclusion since he fled back to Suiye City. Without his order, the Gulam Guards The army did not go to battle."
Li Ye looked at Suiye City, his eyes were full of emotion. It is not only one of the four towns in Anxi, but has also served as the seat of the Anxi Protectorate several times. It was also the heyday when the Tang army moved across the Seven Rivers and continued to expand westward. It can be said that Suiye City has witnessed the most dazzling glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
He didn't pay much attention to the Gulam guards mentioned by Shangguan Qingcheng. If we really want to talk about this, the Chang'an Forbidden Army is equivalent to the Guards of the Tang Dynasty, and the Spike Army is the Guards of the Guards.
"In addition to the Gulam Guards, there are more than 200,000 troops of the Black Khanate in Suiye City, including the tribal armies of the leaders of various tribes."
Shangguan Qingcheng said: "The western region commercial firm has made some arrangements in advance, but Suiye City is the capital of the Black Khanate after all, and the Crescent Sect here is powerful, so Lu Luwei, the leader of the Yangmo Department, who could have been used as domestic aid, because at the critical moment It is vacillating all the time, and it has been planned by Zhang Changan to get rid of it, so we don't have much power in the city now."
Li Ye didn't take it seriously, "Of course it's good to have an internal response, and there's no need to regret it if you don't have one."
Suiye City did not have internal support, and it could not be like Bars Khan City, where the Spike Army fought outside and rioted inside at night, so as to quickly snatch the city over.
However, in other cities of the Black Khanate, Western Regions Trading Firms are stronger than Suiye City. In the battle of He Lie City, Su Nadin suddenly recruited many priests from various cities to set up an ambush in order to lure and ambush the monks of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the crushing defeat in He Lie City, the power of the Overwatch Council in the cities of the Black Khanate was also greatly weakened.
But at this time, in Suiye City, relying on the clues provided by Zhang Changan, he had followed the great monk of the Tang Dynasty who was the chief priest of the Overwatch Council, and launched operations in various cities one after another.
After a period of follow-up and surveillance, most of the Great Tang cultivators scattered into various cities have found out the details of the master priests of the Overwatch Council in each city, including their residences, some hobbies, and so on.
What Su Nadin didn't know was that when he was complacent in He Lie City and was about to trap and kill the great monks of the Tang Dynasty, the priests of the Overwatch Council in various cities of the Black Khanate under his command had been raided one by one with precision.
The difference is that Su Nadin's actions in He Lie City failed, while the actions of the Great Tang monks in each city were basically successful. So to this day, the Overwatch Councils in the cities of the Black Khanate are already in chaos.
The staff of the Western Regions Trading Company hung the head of the priest of the Overwatch Council on the top of the city for public display. This caused panic in the Overwatch Council, and also made those spies who had been bought, instigated, or threatened by Western Region commercial firms before clearly realize the power of Datang.
When the monks from the Western Regions Trading Company came to the door again, most of them had a respectful attitude, which was not much different from Ye Luoge's situation.
Because of this, the fruit of years of hard work of the Western Regions Commercial Bank, when the Datang Army arrived,
Before coming, get consolidated.
It is conceivable what the battles in the cities of the Black Khanate will look like when the Tang army arrives.
These spy forces of the Black Khanate may not be as powerful as Ye Luoge and cannot have such a big effect, but even if they just open a city gate for the Tang army, or create some chaos in the city at the beginning of the battle, cooperate The powerful combat power of the frontal Tang army is enough to bring the battle to an end soon.
The Tang army is not all pure qi-training monk army. With such an arrangement, each city quickly changes the king's banner on the top of the city. Under the general trend, the resistance of the Black Khanate will be much smaller, and the war will end soon. Soon, the casualties of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be much less.
Moreover, after the Tang army occupied the city, these spies came forward to appease the people, and the order in various places could be restored immediately. They knew the situation of each city, and they could also provide the Tang army with more food and wealth. The most important thing is that if the Tang army continues westward, there is no need to worry about changes in the Black Khanate behind it.
Those black khanate spies who either took the initiative, or pushed halfway, or were coerced and lured to join the Tang army, will do their best to protect Datang in order to protect their own wealth and lives.
All of these are the basis for Tang Jun's smooth westward expedition.
Li Ye looked at Suiye City and said: "From ancient times to the present, cavalry are not used to attack the city. It stands to reason that Suiye City should not be attacked by Spike Army. But times have changed, and the face of war will always change. Suiye The soldiers of the Black Khanate in the city are not yet qualified to wrestle with the Spike Army. Get ready, the army rests today and will attack the city tomorrow."
Shangguan Qingcheng clasped his fists: "The minister takes orders!"
...
In Suiye City, Olguchak, Khan of the Black Khanate, was sitting beside Satuk's bed, looking at him worriedly, "I didn't expect your injury to be so serious. It's been so long since you came back from Helie City. Not fully recovered.
"Now one hundred thousand Tang troops have set up camp outside the city. It is conceivable that more Tang troops will come in the future. I need you to cheer up and lead Karakhan's warriors to defend their homeland!"
Satuk's face was ashen, and he couldn't see any energy. The meaning of importance in Khan's words is enough to cheer up any officer, but it obviously cannot have such an effect on Satuk.
"Khan, did your messenger who asked for help from the true god bring back good news?" Satuk did not respond to Olguchak's question, but asked this question urgently.
Olguchak frowned slightly, "I have already sent an envoy to bring the news of the Tang army's sudden attack on Karakhan to the Dashi Caliph. I believe he will respond soon.
"However, Satuk, although the Tang army is approaching the city, its strength is not large. Now it is only about 100,000, and all of them are cavalry. We have enough strength to defeat them without waiting for the Caliph's reinforcements. Your guards Army... ”
At this point, Olguchak did not continue, but the meaning was already obvious.
The Guards was built by Satuk, and now it is in the hands of the other party. Without his consent, even Olguchak would not be able to make him obey his orders for no reason.
Satuk's face was bleak: "It's useless, the guards are not the opponents of Tang Jun."
"How is this possible? The guards are all monks!" Olguchak's face darkened, obviously thinking that this was an excuse for Satuk, "No matter how strong the Tang army is, can't even the guards be able to stop it? "
"Tang Jun are all qi-training monks!" Thinking of the battle in He Lie City, the most amazing and brilliant Junyan in the Black Khanate couldn't help but be full of horror and fear, "It is impossible for the Guards to defeat them!"
"They're all qi cultivators? Hundreds of thousands of people?" Olguchak's eyes showed a cold expression, which seemed to him to be nonsense. He had seen Chu Zheng's troops fight, and thirty thousand people were indeed It's all Qi training
This has already shocked him very much. If it is said that the 100,000 Tang soldiers are all Qi training monks, he absolutely does not believe it.
"Order the guards to fight. We must defeat the cavalry of the Tang army before the Tang army's brigade arrives, so that Bala Sagon will be safe and sound!" Olguchak gave the order in a deep voice.
"Khan! You are letting the guards go to death! Believe me, Khan, the Tang army is far stronger than we imagined! Not only are they all Qi training monks, but the magic weapons in the army are extremely sharp, which is beyond our ability Known range!"
Satuk immediately acted, "Defending the city and waiting for help is the best way to deal with it!"
Olguchak didn't argue with Satuk any more, he turned and left with a cold face, "Satuk, you are not only physically injured, but also mentally no longer clear, in this case, the Guards can no longer be controlled by you. I will temporarily take over the guards, gather all the big monks of Karakhan, and defeat the Tang army! As for you, take a good rest."
Looking at the back of Olguchak's departure, Satuk's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
He seemed to have seen the scene where the corpses of the guards were strewn across the field, which made him tremble with fear.
In fact, his injury has healed a long time ago. The reason why he pretended to be sick is because he knew that with Olguchak's heart, the opponent would force the guards to fight. No king would tolerate a hundred thousand soldiers coming to the city, and he can only be a turtle, especially when he feels that he has the chance to win.
Satuk thought he could drag it, and the Dashi army came to help. After all, the Black Khanate has many armies. As long as Balasagun persists for a period of time, the king's divisions from each city will arrive. At that time, even if the follow-up army of the Tang army arrives, the situation may barely stabilize.
But he did not expect that Olguchak would forcibly take away the command of the Guards.
At this moment, he suddenly understood that in the other party's heart, he might have already become too powerful and too big to lose, and he had to cut off his wings. And taking away the guards is undoubtedly the best choice.
His pretending to be sick just gave Olguchak an excuse. After all, the enemy is in front, and there is no reason for the most elite army not to fight to defend their homeland.
At this moment, Satuk's heart was ashamed, and he murmured in despair: "Khan, you have no idea what kind of existence the Tang army you are facing is. They are not ordinary people, but a group of devils! Guards ... It's about to end, and the city of Balasagun... is also about to end."
Suddenly, his eyebrows frowned, he got up from the bed, gritted his teeth and said: "Come here, collect the family's assets, and be ready to break through at any time!"
He has made up his mind that if the situation is not right, he will flee westward to seek the blessing of Dashi.
After the battle of He Liecheng, he no longer had the courage to face the Tang army, because he knew that it was just courting death. If the guards lost to the Tang army, then he could only flee with his followers.
...
When Li Ye saw two hundred big monks rising from the sky in Suiye City, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The majestic figure in golden armor on the top of the city looked disdainful, and he must be Olgucha gram.
"It seems that we don't have to wait until tomorrow to attack the city, we can occupy this city today."
Li Ye turned his head and said to Shangguan Qingcheng, pointing to Olguchak at the head of the city, "This is a brave king, but unfortunately, because of his limited knowledge, he seems to be a bit out of his mind."

He knows one thing no one else knows. A few years later, Satuk launched a coup, relied on the guards in his hands, and drove Olguchak out of power. He became the khan of the Black Khanate himself, and led his country to expand its territory and become a generation of Lord.
It's a pity that the situation is not the same now. The guard army that made him famous may never have the opportunity to roam around.
