Chapter 57 Head-to-head confrontation

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

A cruel smile appeared on Gu Yi's face. He was worried about how to avenge his brother-in-law, but he didn't expect that the Han army came to his door.

He had already found out clearly that the reason why Kucha suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Kuqashui was because of the sneak attack by the Han army in the middle of the night.

It was broad daylight now, and under Yancheng, he did not believe that the Han army could defeat his elite cavalry trained by the Huns in a face-to-face battle.

After all, in his mind, the Huns' cavalry was the most powerful in the world.

All the troops under his command were trained by the Huns, and each soldier was equipped with the best weapons and equipment from the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

King Qiuci and the other nobles did not believe that the Han army could gain the upper hand under Yancheng.

Therefore, in the face of Guyi's request for a fight, this time the entire Kucha team reached a rare agreement.

Without any opposition, the Kucha people became extremely efficient.

Only half an hour later, Gu Yi led his 1,200 cavalry troops out of the city.

These 1,200 cavalry were also the last cavalry units in Yancheng.

This cavalry is also the best-equipped army in Kucha Kingdom.

Each of them is equipped with a bronze helmet and two layers of armor, the outer layer is Scythian-style bronze armor, and the inner layer is Hun-style leather armor.

This armor can also show the influence of the Huns in Qiuci.

The weapons of these soldiers are also very sophisticated, with an average of three weapons per soldier.

In addition to the main weapon, the spear, there is also a short spear for throwing and a scimitar for melee combat.

Many soldiers even plated their armor and helmets with gold. They looked very gorgeous.

When the Qiuci cavalry left the city, bursts of cheers came from the walls of Yancheng.

"Kill those Han people and let them know how powerful we are..."

From time to time there were bursts of shouts amidst the cheers.

These sounds were all made by the Kucha people in the city. King Moro of Kucha did not take the Han cavalry to heart.

He felt that this was his best chance to regain his prestige, so for the first time he allowed people to climb the city wall and watch the battle outside the city.

Seeing the Qiuci cavalry leaving the city, Zhang Yue felt very happy. This was exactly what he had dreamed of.

When the cheers of the Kucha people came from the top of Yancheng City, he was even more satisfied. This just allowed the Kucha people to feel the power of the Han cavalry.

It should be said that the Kucha people's cavalry is still very good. Although it is not as good as the Han army and the Xiongnu, it is still much stronger than other countries in the Western Regions.

It didn't take long for the Kucha cavalry, under the command of Gu Yi, to form a cavalry formation commonly used by the Huns.

At this time, the Han cavalry also formed a formation under the leadership of Zhang Yue.

Just because there are fewer people, the formation looks thinner.

Just looking at the formation, there is no doubt that the Kucha people are stronger.

The Kucha people on the city wall of Yancheng also thought so at this time.

The shouts on the top of the city became louder and louder.

"Cut off the heads of the Han people!"

"Let them have a taste of our power!"

"Kill them all!"

At this time, Gu Yi was riding on horseback, so high-spirited that it seemed that as long as he gave an order, he could crush the Han army in front of him.

"go ahead!"

Guyi gave an order, and the Qiuci cavalry led their horses and began to advance slowly.

"It seems that these Qiuci people were well trained by the Huns!" Zhang Hao muttered from the side.

Zhang Hao's voice reached Zhang Yue's ears, and Zhang Yue's face smiled more and more, which was just right. The better the Huns trained the Kucha people, the greater the value of this battle.

At this time, the Han army had discovered that there were businessmen and envoys from other countries in the Western Regions fighting outside the battlefield.

As long as this battle is won, the Han army's operations in the Western Region will be much easier in the future.

"Archers attack!"

Zhang Yue gave an order, and the Han army's cavalry and archers went into battle first.

"Mount the gun!"

While the archers attacked, the lancers were also ready to attack.

Zhang Yue's tactics were actually very simple. He first used cavalry archers to disrupt the formation of the Kucha people, and then the lancers used the tactic of charging on the wall to defeat the Kucha cavalry in one fell swoop.

"嘚...嘚...嘚..."

The Han army's bows and horses are about to engage the Qiuci cavalry.

"Lancers attack!"

At this time, the Lancers also began to accelerate slowly.

On the other side, when the Han army's cavalry attacked, Gu Yi also gave the order to mount the horse.

When the horse archers were about three hundred steps away from them, the Kucha cavalry also began to accelerate.

They excitedly waved their weapons, preparing to kill all the daring Han troops in front of them.

When the Han army's archers were still 150 steps away from the Qiuci cavalry, they suddenly dispersed to the left and right wings.

As they dispersed, they continued to shoot arrows at the Kucha cavalry.

Because the number of Han cavalry archers was limited, it actually did not cause too many casualties to the Qiuci cavalry.

However, after being harassed by the horse archers, the formation of the Kucha cavalry became scattered.

After completing their mission, the horse archers circled around to the two wings as quickly as possible.

After the archers got around, the Han army's lances revealed their ferocious faces.

The neat and uniform plastic surgery made the Qiuci cavalry and the people watching the battle at the top of the city feel extremely shocked.

The Qiuci cavalrymen looked at the forest of guns in front of them, with fear in their eyes. The first thing they thought of was to escape, but by now it was too late. The distance between the two sides was too close. Once they retreated, the entire army would be in chaos.

Guyi naturally knew this, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to order the soldiers to charge.

"Ping gun!"

Zhang Yue gave an order, and the lances leveled their lances at the same time.

Looking at the cold light of the lance in front of him, the Kucha cavalryman felt numbness on his back.

"boom"

The two cavalrymen finally collided head-on.

"Ahhhh..."

Screams rang out one after another, and the Qiuci cavalry were like eggs, constantly hitting the cavalry wall composed of Han army lancers.

The own cavalry, which was originally extremely powerful in the eyes of the Kucha people, suddenly turned into a baby in front of the Han cavalry and was vulnerable to a single blow.

After the collision between the two sides, the Han cavalry quickly changed to the Huanshou Sword.

As the most advanced weapon of this era, the armor of the Kucha cavalry was unable to resist the slashing of the Huanshou sword.

Whether it is bronze armor or leather armor, they become as fragile as paper when facing the Huanshou Sword.

The battle ended faster than anyone imagined, but within a quarter of an hour, the Kucha cavalry collapsed.

Gu Mo, who thought he was extremely brave, had no chance to show his bravery during the frontal attack. He was knocked off his horse by the Han army's cavalry and died senselessly in the chaos.

He looked at his own cavalry who were being chased like rabbits by the Han army below the city.

At the top of Yancheng City, it suddenly became eerily quiet. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Finally, an old man from Qiuci couldn't help the fear in his heart and began to yell: "This is the messenger from hell, this is the army sent by the devil..."
