Zhang Yue remembered that the "Book of Han" recorded that after the Battle of Zhijushui, the Luntai Kingdom had regained its independence, and he suspected that the restoration of the Luntai Kingdom was related to this horse thief.

Historically, the Han army's lack of success in fielding in Luntai may also be related to their constant harassment.

So this time Zhang Yue was determined to kill these horse thieves before they developed.

If you wait until this group of horse thieves absorb and integrate the Luntai people scattered around.

By next year, Zhang Yue will not have to face hundreds of people, but thousands of people. The threat must be nipped in the bud.

In order to ensure victory in this battle, Zhang Yue mobilized the greatest strength he could.

In addition to his own 100 cavalry, Li Si also dispatched a group of assault cavalry.

In addition, 150 field soldiers were mobilized as auxiliaries.

In order to prevent the opponent from retreating into the Tianshan Mountains after their defeat, Guo Kai's cavalry also marched from the east along the Tianshan Mountains to the west. They vowed to remove this nail cancer in one fell swoop.

May 11th of the first year of Tianhan

The troops and horses of the headquarters led by Zhang Yue arrived at the newly built small town in the north of Luntai.

This is a typical small town in the Western Region style. The city is not high, only about one foot.

Different from the Chinese square shape, this small town is an irregular circle with a circumference of about one mile.

The city wall is made of a mixture of earth and stone and is not very strong.

Zhang Yue led his army to bring him, and it was obvious that he had been discovered by the other party.

Shortly after Zhang Yue arrived outside the city, the other party sent a messenger.

"Your Excellency, my lord is not willing to conflict with the Han army. My lord has said that as long as you are willing to withdraw your troops and support us, we can control this Luntai land together..."

"How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?"

This was Zhang Yue's reply to the envoy.

The messenger left angrily, yelling forcefully as he left.

"Then use the blood of your Han people to sacrifice to the gods!"

…

"These arrogant Han Chinese!"

A blond man with blue eyes roared in the small town. This man was the leader of Tucheng, Duosuo, the former prince of Luntai Kingdom.

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

People around asked cautiously

This prince named Duosuo was the illegitimate son of the original King of Luntai, and his mother was a slave girl purchased by the King of Luntai from Dawan.

Perhaps because of his birth, Doso has been known for his cruelty and murderous nature since he was a child.

It was precisely because of this that he was exiled to the mountains by King Luntai. However, it was precisely because of this that he escaped.

After the Han army left, he took the opportunity to return to his hometown of Luntai and built the small city today.

"What else can we do? Of course we have to start a war. The Han people are not as powerful as you say. We have captured a lot of Han slaves in the past few times!"

Doso licked his lips and showed a cruel smile.

"Your Highness, the small Han army in front of you is nothing to worry about. I am afraid that after this Han army is defeated, the Second Division Army will return!"

A dark and thin old man had a worried look on his face. Although two years had passed, he still couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the night when the Han army broke into the city.

"Elder Korok, there is no need to worry. I have already contacted the Huns. If the Han army comes, we will retreat to the north of the mountain. How dare the Han army pursue them to the north of the mountain..."

Dusuo didn't take it seriously. In his heart, the Huns cavalry were the most powerful in the world.

"I hope so!"

Korok still looked hesitant.

At this time, Zhang Yue had set up camp about three miles away from the south gate of the small town. Although he was only dealing with a group of horse thieves, he did not relax his vigilance.

In his opinion, staying in the stronghold and fighting a dull battle is the best choice now.

After a night's rest, the soldiers' physical strength has been fully restored.

Guo Kai's troops also arrived at the reservation location and blocked the horse thieves' retreat.

After receiving the news from Guo Kai, Zhang Yue immediately led his troops out of the camp and forced them to the gates of the horse thieves' city.

This is when the sun is rising, and the earth looks so beautiful under the sunlight.

Zhang Yue sighed, such a beautiful scenery was about to be destroyed by his own hands.

Although Zhang Yue's small army is not large in number, it has all the internal organs even though it is a small sparrow.

Lancers, archers, crossbowmen, officers, light soldiers, and siege troops are all available.

Zhang Yue placed the infantry in the center, and the cavalry guarded the two wings. In order to capture the small city, Zhang Yue also moved out the only crossbow.

The horse thieves did not choose to defend, but also sent about 200 riders, hoping to compete with the Han army.

This is exactly what Zhang Yue wanted.

The confrontation between the two sides did not last long before the horse thieves took the initiative to attack.

"Order the men to attack, but I want to see how these Han troops are doing?"

"Woooooo!" the horns of the horse thieves sounded.

The horse thieves riders did not charge immediately but moved forward slowly.

"It seems that these horse thieves have some tricks up their sleeves. They actually know how to save horsepower!"

"Lord, should we also send cavalry to attack?" Wang Hu asked from the side.

"No need for the moment. This time, let the horse thieves see the power of our Han army's arrow array."

Zhang Yue waved his hand, and a Han army archer shot a red arrow.

At this time, the horse thief rider also began to speed up.

"Crossbowmen prepare!"

After receiving the order, all the Han army's crossbowmen raised their bows and crossbows.

When the horse thief rider crosses the red arrow.

Zhang Yue waved his hand decisively.

"wind"

After giving the order, the Han army's crossbowmen shot the arrows in their hands at the same time.

There were screams one after another, and a famous horse thief fell from his horse.

The horse thieves, who had always lacked bows and crossbows, were suddenly stunned by the Han army's bows and arrows.

Seeing each of their companions turn into corpses before they even touched the enemy, some horse thieves riders even felt at a loss.

After the Han army fired three shots, the formation of the horse thieves and riders had become sparse and chaotic.

"Kill me, my sons. These Han people are cowards. As long as we rush into their camp, we will win..."

"The crossbowmen retreated, the spear shields came forward..."

Zhang Yue commanded calmly.

"Prepare!"

"Put the gun up!"

"Bang...bang...bang..."

The horse thieves and riders bumped into the Han army's gun array and let out bursts of screams.

Although the Han army's spear and shield soldiers also suffered some casualties, they successfully blocked the attack of the horse thieves.

"Light soldiers dancing!"

As the Han army's light troops attacked, the horse thieves finally collapsed.

Before the Han cavalry was dispatched, the horse thieves who were killed were already crying and running back.

"Damn, damn, damn. How could these cowards escape like this? These cowards should all be hanged."

Duosuo on the top of the city roared angrily.

It's a pity that his roar had no meaning. In just a short time, their cavalry had completely collapsed.

"Horse thieves are horse thieves, and they actually want to compete with our Han army," Sun Tao said with disdain.

His words resonated with everyone.

"Cavalry attacks!"

Zhang Yue ordered.

Under Zhang Yue's order, the cavalry on both wings quickly attacked and started a hunting operation.

However, the object of hunting is not the animal but the horse thief rider.

Under the pursuit of the cavalry, the horse thieves became even more panicked. Some horse thieves even ran to the east in a panic, trying to leave this hell-like battlefield.
