It is said that Xiaohe Zhuo Huo Jizhan brought troops to aid Kucha City, was defeated by the Qing army, and fled into Kucha City with more than 800 remnants of the defeated generals, but the Qing army did not know it, and did not think that Huo Jizhan would drill into the dead city of Kucha by himself. Subsequently, E's plan to dig tunnels to attack the city, which had been going well, Kecheng was in sight, but the commander Yar Hasan inserted a lever, resulting in defeat and giving the rebels in the city a rare opportunity to breathe. So what will Yarhasan do next?
If at this time Yar Hassan knew how to put the overall situation first, suddenly woke up, and abandoned his selfishness, he still had a chance to turn over, after all, at this time, Xiao he Zhuo was already trapped in the city, and it was difficult to escape with his wings, once the city was broken and captured by the enemy chief, it would be a great achievement, and it would not be difficult for the South Tianshan Road to pass on. In the future, the list of meritorious servants of the Purple Light Pavilion will definitely be indispensable to his great name of Yar hashan, and there will not even be anything wrong with Zhaohui.
But this person is a master who does not admit his mistake and regards his face as more important than anything, from the perspective of the paranoia of his personality, at this moment, the commanders of the two armies facing each other outside the city are really half a pound and eight two, and they are equal - of course, Yar Hasan will never know that Xiaohe Zhuo Huo Jizhan is actually in the city, if he learns afterwards, will he regret his intestines?
Ever since the matter of digging tunnels was messed up by himself and disgraced, Yarhashan's mentality has become worse, and he hates Shundene and E's people more and more, always feeling that their material is like a god, reflecting his incompetence. What's next? He had no score in his heart, but he would never open his mouth and ask anyone for advice. Faced with a dilemma, he gave an ambiguous instruction to the troops, telling everyone to fight hard, kill the enemy bravely, annihilate the enemy, and serve the imperial court.
As for how to fight, he did not say, waiting for everyone to play on their own. Don't think that Yar hashan willingly become a hand-throwing treasurer, the little nine-nine in his heart is: Aren't you all quite capable? Then I will simply watch you perform, do a good job, I will take the credit for myself, mess it up, and then I will push the responsibility to others (anyway, he is best at this thing). (Pictured below is a portrait of Yarhashan)
It is said that if we are engaged in personnel struggles in the official arena and face mutual deception and mutual inversion, this is not a good idea, but Yarhashan does not know whether he is old and faint, or he cannot adapt to the scorching heat of Xinjiang and faints, and he actually forgets that this is a battlefield of life and death, and there is no room for ambiguity and ambiguity! In this way, from this command, the victory that was already within reach gradually moved away from Yarhashan, and bad luck had begun to beckon to him!
The generals under him were naturally not stupid, and they guessed the commander's careful thinking. Therefore, everyone pretended to be a model every day, fired a burst of guns at the city wall, fired a few shots, and then returned to the camp early and washed and slept. Knowing that everyone was grinding foreign workers, Yarhashan turned a blind eye, because Yarhashan still had a small calculation in his heart: I really can't fight a war, but what is so difficult about besieging the city?
If you love to grind foreign workers, grind it, anyway, isn't it just a siege of a city?
According to the records of the Sacred Martial Book, Yar hashshan felt that the Kucha had been surrounded like an iron barrel anyway, and that the destruction of the city was a matter of sooner or later, so he "played chess all day long, and did not patrol the bases" - that is, every day, he traveled to play chess and did not inspect the defense situation. The saying in the "Western Regions" is that Yar hashshan "drank and played chess, neglecting defense" - the same meaning, and there was more drinking. The Miscellaneous Records of the Pavilion says that Yarhashan "only ordered and attacked with force"—that is, he only urged his soldiers to attack the city.
In short, Yarhashan did not do anything every day, so he drank and played chess with his staff, pretending to be a bamboo in his chest, and almost took a feather fan. However, E-Yang couldn't look at it anymore, because his family was still in the hands of the enemy, and although he didn't know that something earth-shattering had happened in the city, he was already so anxious that he was eager to fly into the city with his wings and save his family from water and fire.
Portrait of the E
Therefore, he went to Yarhashan every three or five places and made some suggestions for siege, hoping to take Kucha as soon as possible, but Yarhashan was noncommittal every time, looking unpredictable. The days passed like this, and although E-Ha had touched the wall several times and was a little discouraged, one day, he suddenly remembered that one of the most important things had missed, and he must immediately report to Yar Hassan so that he could prepare early. So what exactly is it?
There are two sides to the conversation. Just when Yar has made the siege of the city with his troops like a vacation and leisure, and drinks all day long except for chess, what is Huo Jizhan doing at this time when he has fled to Kuqa City? What about the arrow in the left shoulder?
In fact, Huo Ji was so powerful that the arrow didn't even penetrate his clothes! On the one hand, the clothes Huo Jizhan wore were about thick, on the other hand, it was just a cold arrow in the melee, and the strength was insufficient, so Huo Jizhan was not injured. Huo Jizhan, who entered Kuqa City, was naturally not willing to be trapped in the city and sit still, so after consideration, he decided to take a risk.
Judging from the series of behaviors before and after Huo Jizhan, this is undoubtedly a master who admits to death, at best it is a hundred twists and turns, tenacious will, and at worst, it is a road to black, and it will not turn back when it hits the south wall. It should be said that people with this personality can do great things, but they must have a more comprehensive and accurate judgment, otherwise they will only make mistakes again and again. So when the team was defeated and everyone else ran outside, he did not hesitate to fall into the Jedi and force himself into the city.
Originally, you came to the rescue, and since the rescue failed, there were no more than three options under normal circumstances, one was to continue to organize people and horses to re-rescue; the other was to completely abandon the garage and lay out the second line of defense; the third was to encircle Wei to save Zhao and surprise attack other enemy strongholds. However, the premise of these three situations is to withdraw from Kucha, and Huo Jizhan took the initiative to run to a besieged city like Kucha, and Yamato Zhuo Poloni had to guard against the Bruts, so who could organize people to rescue Kucha?
Therefore, Huo Jizhan, who entered the Kucha, only had two choices left: either he would accompany the Kucha defenders to the end, or he could only make a desperate bet and choose a direction to break through! However, Huo Jizhan did not choose either of these two plans, and he actually opened his mind and chose to go out of the city to fight back the Qing army.
Early in the morning of June 18, the third day after Huojizhan entered the city, Kuqa City suddenly opened four doors, and more than a thousand defenders in the city began to attack the Qing army camp from four directions. The Qing army has been besieging the city for more than a month, and has long been expecting you to come out, so it is right in the middle and quickly organizes a counterattack. Huo Jizhan's side rushed several times into the Qing camp, while the Qing army hid behind the camp and fired arrows, and rushed to the near front to meet the short troops, and Huo Jizhan's side was completely unable to gain the advantage.
If Huo Jizhan went out of the city this time to find a gap in the Qing army and take the opportunity to break through, then he should not attack from all sides, but should concentrate his superior forces to attack the north and west of the city, that is, the two directions leading to Sailim or Shayar respectively, as long as either of these two directions is opened, you can escape to heaven. And choosing to attack on all sides and repulse the Qing army is obviously impossible, you have let the Qing army beat up the fart and urine before and after you, and now they are besieged in the city, the number is not dominant, and they also divide the troops to attack on all sides, is this not whimsical?
Obviously, the reason why Huo Jizhan is so confident, or so arrogant, is nothing more than the role of religious fanaticism, thinking that miracles can happen- we know that usually people in desperate situations often pray to religion and miracles, because there is nothing else to rely on, and Huo Jizhan himself is a religious leader who combines church and state, hoping for the fanatical power of religion.
However, the miracle did not happen, and Huo Jizhan's side could not take advantage, and soon the morale was exhausted, the position was confused, and the Qing army took the opportunity to pursue the city. At that time, the city gate of Kucha was suddenly crowded with Kuqa troops who were scrambling for their lives. The Qing army could not cut them one by one, so the defeated soldiers who rushed to the crowded city gate were desperately firing guns and arrows, and shooting wherever the crowds were anyway.
Huo Jizhan's breakthrough this time killed more than 200 people, while the Qing army lost eleven people and wounded forty-three. According to Yar hashshan's report, this time "the enemy was wounded a lot, and the cries of the city shook day and night." Even outside the city, you can hear cries all over the city. After suffering this time, Huo Jizhan never fought again, and could only close the city gates tightly, not daring to act rashly!
On the side of the Qing army, Yar hashan also not taken advantage of the victory to attack the city, because except for E's right, no one wants to attack the city to beg for food, and always feels that if the siege continues, the rebels will have no food and no support, and it will not be a matter of time before they surrender?! So the next two sides seem to have reached a tacit understanding, the Qing army does not attack, the rebels do not go out of the city, kucha city outside the city, as if shrouded in a peaceful.
Compared with the peace of the Qing army camp outside the city, the city has long been sharpening knives and killing machines. At this moment, Huo Jizhan's situation, another person, perhaps he can only sit still and borrow wine to pour sorrow. But this xiao and Zhuo are worthy of a generation of tyrants, although the war is a layman, but the political is a ruthless person, at this time he is not idle at all, is busy cleaning up the interior.
The "Strategy for Pacifying the Dzungars" does not record the movement of Huo Jizhan in Kuqa City during this period, because at that time the Qing army did not know that Huo Jizhan was in Kucha. However, according to common sense, Huo Jizhan is nothing more than waiting for reinforcements and preparing for a breakthrough; the second is to strictly control Kucha City to prevent the collapse of the rule in the city. Regarding the second point, according to the records of some other sources, as soon as Huo Jizhan entered Kucha City, he began to wantonly kill the relatives and old subordinates of E.
The Records of Hearing and Seeing in the Western Regions and the Miscellaneous Records of the Xiaoting Pavilion say that after Huo Jizhan entered Kucha City, he was angry that Yu Andersons were attached to the Qing army, and "those whose relatives did not flee were killed." That is to say, E's relatives were all killed by Huo Ji, but he never killed E's wife, Reimu. Why is that?
It should be known that as early as the return of Xiao and Zhuo to southern Xinjiang, E's immediate defection to the Qing army. From this point, it can be seen that as a disciple of the Black Mountain Sect, E's position is very firm, and he knows very well that once Da and Zhuo take power in southern Xinjiang, he will never have good fruit to eat. Even if the size and the zhuo did not rebel, the two sides could not sit in the same boat under any circumstances. Therefore, as long as the relatives of the E pair fell into the hands of Huo Jizhan, whether the E pair was attached to the Qing court or not, they basically could not escape the end of being purged.
The reason why Huo Jizhan did not kill E's wife, Reimu, was because Huo Jizhan took a fancy to Reimu and had a big heart and wanted to make Reymuna a concubine. Reimu should be particularly beautiful. The "Miscellaneous Records of The Pavilion" says "Fang Shaoai", that is, he is still very young. However, according to historical records, Reimu had already given birth to four children for E's pair at this time, and from this point of view, Reimu should not be particularly young. And Xinjiang has always been beautiful women like clouds, Huo Jizhan has not never seen the world, so insistent on occupying a woman, must be because of the heavenly fragrance of the Reimu country, extraordinary.
But Reimu is not only a strange woman, but also a hero, not only extraordinary in the overall situation, but also extremely wise and courageous, and even E's pair are willing to bow to the wind. It is worth mentioning that none of the big and small Burkes under E's opponents obeyed, and they obeyed Reimu, which showed the strength of this woman's ability to rule. It can even be said that later, when E was knighted and crowned king of a clan, most of it was the credit of Reimu. The Kucha Huiwang, which was later in power in southern Xinjiang, was deeply recognized by the Qing court because of its outstanding ability in handling affairs, and was also closely related to Reimu. This once again proves how important it is for a man to marry a good wife, not only to help develop a career and prosper the family, but also to spread good genes for future generations. So what extraordinary deeds did this strange woman of Reimmu leave behind?
There are not many historical materials in existence, but we can still take a peek at the leopard and get a glimpse of this strange woman's style in the past. According to the Records of The Western Regions, in order to force Reimu to obey, Xiaohe Zhuohuo Jizhan killed the two daughters and one son of Reimu and E,ed. The "Miscellaneous Records of The Pavilion" says that Huo Jizhan fell to his death with two sons and a daughter. But whether it is two daughters and a son, or two sons and a daughter, in the face of Huo Jizhan's beastly behavior, if it is an ordinary woman, she will probably have knelt down to beg for forgiveness or collapse and go crazy, but Reimu has a strong personality and is not moved at all.
Therefore, Huo Jizhan did not succeed in a plan and had a plan, "imprisoning Reimu in a tall building, and increasing humiliation" - that is, locking Reimu on a tall building and insulting him every day. As for how to insult it specifically, neither the Records of Hearing and Seeing in the Western Regions nor the Miscellaneous Records of the Pavilion says. However, no matter how Much Huo Jizhan coerced and seduced, insulted and tortured, Reimu was sworn to death.
At this time, although E's understanding of the situation in the city was unknown, with his instinctive judgment, he knew that his family and subordinates must be in the depths of the water. So he plucked up the courage to ask Yarhashan again, and raised one of his biggest concerns. It turned out that E-Wei believed that the enemy troops in Kuqa City were closed at this time, but only the calm before the storm came, and he judged that the rebels would definitely risk death to break through. Because the more you get to the end, the more likely it is that the trapped enemy will take the risk. However, Yarhashan did not think so, believing that E's right was alarmist and did not take E's advice seriously at all.
As a result, on june 23, in the evening, a Sauron veteran who was besieging the city suddenly heard the noise of camels and horses in Kucha City, and the sound of people was boiling. Listening carefully, this Sauron veteran immediately understood that this was the people in the city who were ready to run, because the "hump sounded like the sound of carrying a heavy load", that is, the camel's cry was different from usual, obviously carrying a heavy load. So what do camels do in the city carrying heavy loads? It must be Huo Jizhan who is ready to break through!
So the Sauron veteran immediately confronted Yarhashan and reported: "Its hump is high and healthy, and the thief will be gone." That is to say, the camel's cry was so loud and bright that the enemy was about to run. But Yarhashan was still unmoved. The "Miscellaneous Records of the Shouting Pavilion" records that Yar hassan was drinking at that time, and after listening to the report of Sauron's veteran, he laughed and said: "JianPao, how do you know?" "That is to say, you are a little soldier, what do you know?" Then "drink as you always" and continue drinking. The records of the Records of the Sacred Martial Arts and the Records of the Western Regions are also similar.
So, is it true that in Kuqa City, as this Sauron veteran said, Huo Jizhan's army is about to break through and flee? What will be the result of Yarhashan's failure to believe the words of the Sauron veterans?
To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown. What do you think, welcome to speak freely below, look forward to your advice!
