Chapter 989 Surprise Attack on Turpan

"Respected Lord Achimu, Hami City has fallen!"
Abrun immediately jumped up, looking incredulous. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
“阿奇木大人,我们突然被明军攻打,现在哈密城已经被明军贡献。”
“这不可能!明军龟缩在玉门关内,他们不敢出来!”
"Absolutely true!"
"What about Dari Achix?"
"Dari Achix has been captured by the Ming army!"
Abrunton immediately flew into a rage, they walked over and kicked Alagbari in the air, causing him to fall to the ground. The translated content is:
"
You bunch of useless people! Useless! Can't even stop the Ming army! Guards! Drag them away and chop them up!"
"Please spare our lives, sir! Please spare our lives!"
The surrounding servants quickly came up to clean up.
He kicked one of the maids, sending her flying two meters in the air. She then rolled several times on the ground in pain, her face contorting, but she didn't dare to scream.
The other maids quickly crawled on the ground, trembling in fear.
"Wait! Bring him in!" Abulun threw away the glass in his hand, spilling the drink all over the floor.
Alagbaru was dragged back in, trembling all over his body.
"Speak in more detail, and if you dare miss anything, I'll chop you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Alagbari fell to the ground, touching his forehead to the back of his hand, and began to tremble as he recounted his experience during the Battle of Hami.
After hearing this, Abulun's face remained gloomy: "Are you saying that the Ming army has brought a force of 50,000 troops?"
"That's right, the Ming army dispatched a force of 50,000 troops at once, and they also brought artillery. They blasted open the gates of Hami city, it was too sudden! And it happened during snowy weather, we couldn't set up defenses in advance."
Actually, Alagba Ri didn't really know how many troops the Ming army had brought. He just casually mentioned a number, without specifying the actual size. Surely, he didn't mean to imply that the army had 20,000 soldiers, right?
The total population of Hami City was 20,000, but it was completely conquered and destroyed by the Ming army of 20,000. This is truly humiliating, so we simply reported 50,000.
Abu Lun angrily exclaimed, "Go! Immediately gather a large army, I want to retake Hami!"
His trusted general, Sorenbarj, said, "Lord Amuqi, Khair Oghode has gathered 50,000 troops from Dzhungaria and is on his way. I believe it would be better to wait for Khair Oghode to arrive and let him engage the Ming army first."
"Are you asking me to give credit to him?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
"The Khanate has officially prepared to conquer the Ming Dynasty. What I mean is, let Hairen Gu fight against the Ming army, and let both sides suffer heavy losses. Then General Amuqi can lead his troops to advance east, all the way to Yumen Pass, and even capture Jiayuguan."
"What if JiaYuGuan is captured by HaiRiGu? "
"In that case, the general can immediately lead the army to enter the pass and march straight into the heartland of the Ming Dynasty. This will not affect the general's subsequent strategic plans." Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
After listening to Sorenbari's words, Ablun immediately found it reasonable. He laughed and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. When Hairigugu comes, let him attack the Ming army first!"
Alagbazi trembled and said anxiously, "Respected Lord Aqimu, you should mobilize our troops quickly to defend. I am worried that the Ming army will pursue their victory."@@
"Joke, you underestimate my great army too much! Do you think Turpan is as incompetent as Hami?"
"I apologize, sir, I didn't mean it that way."
"Get out!"
"Thank you, sir, for sparing my life!" Alagba trembled and quickly retreated.
Solen Barai approached and said, "Lord Achimu, the Ming Army would not dare to venture deep into our Turpan City. However, it is still necessary for you to make preparations in advance to be ready at any time."
"When can Hai Ri Gu arrive?"
"Yesterday, my subordinate received news that he will arrive in about half a month."
"Let him go and fight against the Ming army, preferably getting killed by them. This way, I will have the opportunity to move north and capture the area north of Tian Shan!"
"The adults are wise."
The snow in Hami, floating with goose feathers, arrived in Hami on December 13th. Chongzhen stayed here for only one day and set off the next day.
Cao Wenzhao's 30,000 border defense army, Yan Yingyuan's 30,000 capital defense army, and in addition, the emperor brought another 40,000 troops from Yumen Pass.
A total of 100,000 troops are rapidly advancing towards Turpan.
The army is moving at a very fast pace in order to quickly attack Turpan. There is no supply unit or even artillery, only cavalry.
And each person brings their own food supplies.
There have been many changes in the food supplies of the Ming army during this year.
For example, the production of salt and the soldiers bring a lot of cured bacon. It is said that since the Academy of Sciences started researching the decay of food due to bacteria, they have started developing methods to preserve food in sterile conditions.
However, it has not yet been popularized in the military.
In addition to preserved meat, dry biscuits, and fried noodles.
Pickled food and fried food can be relatively preserved for a longer period of time.
Of course, everyone also carries alcohol and cigarettes, in addition to a large quantity of sugar.
After the mass transportation of sugarcane from Luzon Island to the mainland, it is processed into sugar.
Now it is essential to have a large quantity of sugar in the military.
Sugar can provide energy to the human body.
This lightweight transport can undoubtedly make the army's marching speed faster.
Moreover, with the emperor leading the troops personally, the soldiers' morale is high.
They ventured through the vast snowy landscape, traveling long distances.
And every night, Chongzhen would personally go and inquire about the well-being of the generals and soldiers, engaging in casual conversations with them.
He would ask about their recent physical condition, their meals and drinks, and also express admiration for the beautiful scenery of the Northwestern snowfields.
I often ask about the situation at home, parents and children.
Sometimes, I also have a drink with some soldiers.
Although in the severe cold, everyone can feel the Emperor's concerns, treating soldiers like his own children, nothing compares to this. Translated:
This way, a big army marched rapidly from Hami to Turpan.
800 li distance was covered in 5 days.
This is already quite fast for cavalry marching, as the horses also need rest.
On the third day, Chongzhen divided the army into three routes, with each route advancing towards Turpan from different directions.
The central army directly headed towards Turpan, while the left and right routes took a detour to launch attacks on Turpan in a north-south range of 300 miles and an east-west range of 500 miles.
To put it simply, the central army is responsible for the main front-line battlefield.
The forces from the left and right flank will swiftly strike the enemy forces in Turpan, and then converge in the main city of Turpan to surround it.
At this moment, it is 7 o'clock in the morning on December 18th in the Western Regions.
The bright morning comes late in the Western Regions.
Tulufan's latitude is already considered high, but due to being an oasis and a basin, with a small size, it has a strong heat absorption capacity and weak heat dissipation capacity.
In summer, it is extremely hot, and temperatures may reach over fifty degrees.
During winter, the temperature at night will not be too low, and it could even reach a high of 10 degrees during the day.
Abruin is fast asleep, while soldiers are stationed on various important roads in Turpan, but no one knows that at this very moment, the Ming army has arrived.
The Grim Reaper quietly envelops everything.
