Horse-Stepping Joint Venture

When they were about three miles away from the Kucha military camp, Zhang Yue ordered the entire army to change their horses and prepare to raid the Kucha camp.

Although there are lights in the Kucha camp, it is arranged in an extremely orderly manner. The people setting up the camp are obviously proficient in the art of war.

"It seems that there are still talents among the Kucha people..."

Looking from Zhang Yue's point, most of the tents in the camp were hidden in darkness, making it difficult to see the reality clearly.

Only the big tent in the middle was brightly lit and looked very eye-catching.

Inside the tent, Luo Du was drinking while watching several female slaves dance.

A man dressed as a Huns was persuading him to be more vigilant to prevent Han troops from attacking.

"General Tu Sui, there is no need to worry. This place is still more than two hundred miles away from Luntai. The Han army cannot fly here even if it flies!"

"General, please sit down. These female slaves are all good products that I specially bought from Daxia. The general will review them carefully in a moment!"

Tu Sui wanted to say something more, but at Luo Du's signal, two female slaves hugged him, one on the left and the other on the right.

Tu Sui thought that what Luo Du said was reasonable. The probability of the Han army appearing was too weak. Maybe he was unfounded.

While Luo Du and others were fighting in the big tent, two soldiers from the Kucha Army were patrolling and cursing in a low voice.

"Okay, do you two want to die?" shouted an old soldier.

The two of them said "Oh" knowing they had made a mistake, and followed the old soldier obediently to continue looking for camp.

At this moment

The sound of horse hooves suddenly came, "Go, go, go, go...".

"What's going on?" The old soldier was surprised.

"Yes... yes... yes..." The voice became clearer and clearer.

The old soldier suddenly realized that someone was attacking the camp.

"The Han army attacked the camp..." A shrill cry suddenly sounded.

Unfortunately, it was too late by this time, as the Han army had already rushed into the camp.

"The second and third sons have accomplished their meritorious service by killing the enemy today. Let's kill..."

"Kill...kill...!"

"Ahhhh..."

A shrill scream sounded.

"Someone is hijacking the camp, get up quickly...get up quickly..."

In the darkness, the Kucha army was in chaos, and no one knew how many Han soldiers there were.

In panic, in order to save their own lives, each of them rushed around and waved their swords wildly.

The entire Kucha camp was filled with the neighing of war horses and the screams of Kucha people.

"Second and third sons, rush with me!"

Zhang Yue led a group of cavalry and rushed towards the tent. At this time, Luo Du and Tu Sui rushed out of the tent in disheveled clothes.

Zhang Yue's blade passed by, and Luo Du's head flew into the sky...

Shooting stars with white feathers are stuck in the waist, swords and autumn lotus lights come out of the box. Heavenly soldiers shine on the snow at the Jade Pass, and captive arrows shoot at the golden armor like sand.

The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all handed over, and the enemy can be destroyed when Taibai enters the moon. The enemy can be destroyed, and the head is destroyed, walking on the intestines of the tiger and wading in the blood of the tiger. Hang the tiger in the blue sky, and bury the tiger beside the purple plug.

There is no one in Hu, and the road of Han is prosperous. Your Majesty's life span is three thousand frosts. But when the storm is flying, strong men come to guard the four directions. There is no one in Hu, and the road of Han is prosperous.

While Zhang Yue continued to charge and kill, he was reciting in his mind the song "Hu No Man" by Li Bai, the poet of later generations.

Only at this moment did he truly understand this poem, the hero of the enemy is my enemy.

The sky gradually turned white, and the night of blood and fire passed like this.

The bloody battle last night finally ended with a complete victory for the Han army.

Of the 2,000 Kucha troops and 500 Cypriot mercenaries who attacked, less than 300 people eventually escaped back to Kuqa and the West Bank.

None of the three commanders of the Kucha people escaped, and they all died under the sword of the Han army.

The number of Kucha soldiers killed exceeded 1,600.

In fact, only a small part of these people died at the hands of the Han army.

Most people died in chaos and trampled on each other. It can be said that death has no value at all.

In addition, there were more than 400 people captured by the Han army, and the rest were missing.

The missing people may have died in the fire, or they may have fallen into the Kuqa water and been washed away, or they may have been frightened and sneaked away.

Compared with the tragic situation of the Kucha people, the Han army was much better. After the war, statistics showed that only 17 soldiers were killed. But their gains were huge.

Not only did they directly destroy one of the most powerful legions in Kucha, but they also obtained mountains of loot.

In order to clean and transport these war supplies, Zhang Yue had to send an order to mobilize Li Si's cavalry team and 400 soldiers.

According to final statistics, the Han army seized more than 1,000 stones of grain and grass, more than 2,300 war horses, more than 7,000 weapons of all kinds, more than 300 camels, and 1,172 gold coins in this battle.

However, Zhang Yue was not interested in the war trophies for the time being. After Li Si and others arrived.

He led the cavalry troops across the Kuqa River. He knew that it was not the time to be happy yet, he must let the Kucha people truly see the strength of the Han army.

Let them understand that even if they can defeat the Han army in Luntai, they will have to pay an unbearable price. Only in this way can real peace be achieved.

The education of later generations made Zhang Yue understand long ago that peace is based on strength.

His main purpose of crossing the Kuqa River this time was to let the Kucha people see the true combat effectiveness of the Han army.

When Zhang Yue led his cavalry across the Kuqa River, the defeated Kucha troops from the Battle of Kuqa River also returned to Yancheng one after another.

The whole Kucha Kingdom was in an uproar when they learned of the Kucha River defeat.

The Kucha people had no idea that the elite cavalry regiment, which they regarded as an invincible legion in their hearts, would be so easily destroyed by the Han army.

The furious King Moro of Kucha immediately summoned the nobles of the country to gather at the palace.

Moro felt that his position was seriously challenged by the Han army, and he vowed to make the Han army pay the price.

However, Qiuci is different from the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty is a typical classical militaristic centralized state. As long as the emperor gives an order, the entire empire will be mobilized immediately. Even if some people do not agree in their hearts, they dare not directly oppose it.

But Kucha is different. The situation in Kucha is similar to that of the Xia kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period. The nobles in the country each have their own power, and the army does not belong to the king alone.

Not only the Kingdom of Qiuci, but also all the countries in the Western Regions are similar. Although there is a king, it is actually more like a joint-stock company.

The nobles are all shareholders, and the king is just the major shareholder.

If Moro wanted to send troops to attack Luntai, he also needed the support of the nobles.

While the Kucha people were still debating whether to send troops to attack Luntai again, Zhang Yue and his more than 400 cavalry had already arrived at Yancheng, the capital of the Kucha Kingdom.

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, the Han cavalry is showing off its power outside the city." A guard suddenly entered the palace hall to report.

"Wow"

The nobles who were having a meeting were in an uproar. They never expected that the Han army would dare to march to the gate of Yancheng so brazenly.

"How many people are coming from the Han army?" Moro asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"About four to five hundred people, all cavalry!" the guard replied.

"Hahaha…"

"These Han troops are really looking for death. Such a small number of troops dare to come to Yancheng and run wild."

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I, Guyi, will mobilize the troops right now, so that the Han army will never come back."
