: Keep the enemy at bay

This is not because of the efficiency of his intelligence agency. In fact, the Millennium Guard is still just an empty frame.

It will take at least two or three years for it to truly take shape.

The reason why he was able to send the information so quickly was actually because the Kucha people had such a poor sense of confidentiality.

"Lord, the Kucha people are leading the troops this time. It is Luo Du, the brother-in-law of Guyi, the governor of Kucha."

"Luo Du's reputation in Kucha Kingdom is not good, but the 2,000 Kucha army he led this time is not weak in combat effectiveness."

"It is said that they were all trained with the help of the Huns. They have defeated the armies of Gumo, Yanqi and other countries many times..."

After Zhang Yue listened carefully to the information obtained by Yang You, he said to Yang You: "I will immediately send someone to inform you about the affairs of the big tent!"

"promise"

Yang You agreed and quickly passed on Zhang Yue's order.

Then he followed Zhang Yue and headed to the Han army's headquarters.

A quarter of an hour later, except for Han Jiang who did not arrive because he was stationed at Tiannan City, everyone else arrived at the tent.

Although everyone didn't know the specific situation, they also guessed that there must be something very important, so everyone looked very serious.

"Greetings to Ming Gong!"

Nowadays, Zhang Yue's status in the Han army in Luntai is getting higher and higher, and the officers, like others, have gradually changed their name to him as "Ming Gong"!

"Everyone, please sit down. The reason why I invite you here this time is because of a very important matter, which is related to our life and death!" Zhang Yue said straight to the point.

Everyone was shocked, but soon regained their composure.

After following Zhang Yue for such a long time, everyone has developed a sense of trust in Zhang Yue and feels that there is nothing that Zhang Yue cannot do.

"Yang You, please introduce the current situation to everyone first!" Zhang Yue ordered to Yang You

"promise"

"Gentlemen, there was a merchant from Kucha, Andrew, who sent a secret report. Guyi, the governor of Kucha, wanted to send troops to attack Luntai."

"After receiving the letter, the Lord sent someone to inquire about the information. After someone's inquiry, it was found that the person leading the Kucha Army this time is named Luo Du, and he is currently the right general of the Kucha Army."

"The army he led this time included 2,000 Kucha cavalrymen, all of whom were elites trained by the Huns, and 500 mercenaries who they became Cypriots, all of whom were brave and good at fighting."

"When I found out their whereabouts, they were about 300 miles away from Wu Luntai. Judging from their marching speed, they should arrive in the Kuqashui area tonight..."

"Everyone, have you heard clearly? I wonder if you have any advice on this..."

When everyone heard Zhang Yue's question, they all looked at Li Si. Li Si had now been recognized by everyone.

In everyone's mind, Li Si was the military advisor of the Luntai Army.

Zhang Yue also smiled and asked: "Sir, what do you think?"

Li Si pondered and said: "This attack by the Kucha Army is not something to be afraid of. The Kucha people cannot capture Luntai with their small strength."

"From a certain point of view, what we have to do is to reduce losses. If the Kucha people are allowed to attack Luntai City, even if we defeat them, our losses will not be small. So I think we should defend the enemy.

Outside the country."

Just as Li Si finished speaking, Guo Kai called out: "Li Junhou means to fight with the Kucha people in the wild, but now we can use the soldiers in the field, but only 300 cavalry. We have to fight against eight times the enemy.

I’m afraid my strength is not at risk!”

"Besides, even if we can win the battle, we will suffer heavy casualties. If the Kucha people attack again, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend them!"

Li Si looked at Zhang Yue and smiled without saying a word.

Zhang Yue laughed and said: "Guo Junhou does not need to worry. He is defending the enemy outside Yuguomen, and he does not necessarily have to face the enemy directly with the Kucha people..."

Then he turned to Li Si and said, "Sir, I think I already have a good plan in mind!"

Li Si smiled and said, "Didn't Duke Ming also have a good plan?"

Zhang Yue laughed and said: "Since we are so inferior, how about we each write down our strategies in our hands!"

"good!"

Zhang Yue and Li Si each took a pen and wrote on their hands.

After the two of them finished writing, they put their hands together, then slowly opened them, and then they laughed together.

When everyone stepped forward to take a look, it turned out that both of them had two words written on their hands: "Surprise Attack!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw these two words. Zhang Yue has been training the Han army for night battles during this period of time.

After this period of training, everyone in the Han army has become accustomed to night operations.

If it weren't for seeing these two words, everyone would have almost forgotten that ordinary soldiers in this era have never experienced the training of night fighting.

If the Han army launches a surprise attack on the Kucha people at night, it will definitely achieve miraculous results.

The plan was decided, and Zhang Yue immediately issued an order to blow the trumpet and gather troops.

The horn sounded, and a famous Han soldier quickly put on his armor and rushed to the school field to answer the order.

Zhang Yue gathered all the villages and walked up to the high platform of the school ground: "Two or three sons, the people of Qiuci today are unfaithful and turned their backs on the Han and defected to the barbarians. Today they even colluded with the Huns and tried to send troops to kill us all..."

"Today I, Zhang Yue, vow to make them pay for their stupid behavior. If you are willing to join me in punishing the Kucha people, please step forward!"

As soon as Zhang Yue finished speaking, more than a thousand people in the audience took a step forward.

"good!"

Zhang Yue roared.

"The second and third sons are indeed heroes, but little Qiuci does not need so many heroes."

"Cavalry Team A and Team B; Yi Congzuo Team will follow me to fight. The rest of you are expected to guard the camp to prevent sneak attacks by bandits."

"promise!"

Everyone in the three teams of soldiers who received the order was very happy.

The other soldiers looked at them with envy.

"The second and third sons mount their horses and leave the camp, and let Neigong teach the Kucha people how to fight!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone in the Han army burst out laughing when they heard this.

Then Zhang Yue led three hundred cavalrymen and Guo Kai, Lu Han, and Yang You out of the fortress and headed west.

In order to maintain horsepower, this time Zhang Yue's entire army consisted of one man and three horses.

In order to prevent being discovered by the Kucha people in advance, the Han army deliberately avoided the main road this time and chose a less traveled path.

It was not until nightfall that the Han army arrived 30 miles east of the Kuqa River.

In order to ensure that the soldiers had sufficient physical strength during the raid, Zhang Yue issued an order to eat and rest.

In order to find out the actual situation of the Kucha people, Yang You took his scouts and immediately left the army towards the Kuqa River after eating.

Two hours later, Yang You finally sent someone to send back the news.

At this time, the Kucha army was stationed by a small lake 30 miles southwest of the Han army, and its defenses were lax.

After obtaining the location of the Kucha Army, Zhang Yue quickly awakened the sleeping soldiers.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yue, the Han army, with their men and women in high rank and their horses bound in hooves, quickly rushed towards the location of the Kucha Army.

Soon a war will begin again...

In the Kingdom of Qiuci, the king ruled Yancheng, and it was 7,480 miles away from Chang'an. There were 6,970 households, 81,317 mouths, and 21,76 victorious soldiers... Nan

It is connected with Jingjue, with Qiemo in the southeast, with Anyanmi in the southwest, with Wusun in the north, and with Gumo in the west. It can be cast and smelted, and has lead. It reaches Wulei City, the capital of the capital, three hundred and fifty miles away in the east.

The ancient city of Qiuci is located in Pilang Village, about two kilometers west of Kuqa County, Xinjiang. The circumference of the ancient city is nearly 8,000 meters, with a north wall of 2,000 meters, a south wall of 1,806 meters, an east wall of 1,646 meters, and a west wall of about 2,200 meters. Except for the east wall,

The three city walls in the south and north are still recognizable, but the west wall has disappeared. The whole city is in an irregular square shape. The city wall is about 2 to 7 meters high. It is made of rammed earth and has battlements every 40 meters or so. In 1985,

The famous Chinese archaeologist Huang Wenbi once conducted excavations in the ancient city of Qiuci. The unearthed cultural relics include stone tools, bone tools, painted pottery pieces, copper pieces, Han five baht coins, Qiuci small coins, Kaiyuan Tongbao, etc.[1]
