Even if they are recruited from other places, they are still the best among the best, able to adapt to the extreme environment of fighting in the Western Region.
Moreover, the logistical supplies were extremely sufficient, and a large amount of horse supplies were continuously transported to the Western Regions via roads.
It can be said that they are completely fighting a war of wealth.
The general did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to attack in all directions.
Although they are not very familiar with the local situation, when they came, they carefully studied the map of the entire Western Region and surrounding areas, and at least they had a clear understanding of the terrain here.
Finally, Zhao Rui personally led the 200,000 people who stayed with him and rushed to Yehe City.
The Ancient Kingdom of Anxi was a powerful country outside the borders of the Western Region. When it was at its strongest, even the entire Western Region bowed at its feet.
Moreover, this country is very old, from its founding to the present, at least a thousand years.
There are nearly a million soldiers in the country, especially their barbarian soldiers, who are said to be invincible in the world.
When Zhao Rui led the army to Yehe City without stopping, he found that the place was already in a mess.
There was the smell of blood everywhere, and bodies piled up like mountains.
At first, Zhao Rui thought the city had been destroyed, but from a distance, the banner of Dashang was still flying on top of the city, and the corpses piled there were also Parthian soldiers.
Judging from the tragic situation at the scene, it seemed that a big battle had taken place, but in a battle of this scale, not a single body of a Dashan soldier could be found.
Just when he was confused, an old soldier with a gray beard ran out from the city.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao!"
Zhao Rui rode forward: "Who are you?"
The old army took a few deep breaths.
"Bizhi is the garrison in the city! Just now, Duke Qin destroyed the Parthian soldiers besieging the city, and all the soldiers in the city followed the enemy. Duke Qin ordered Bizhi to stay and tell you the situation here."
Zhao Rui raised his hand and waved at Ziyun beside him.
"map!"
Ziyun immediately pulled out a sheepskin map from the leather bag on his back and handed it over.
"Point out to me the location of the Parthian Army's garrison on the map!"
The old man did not dare to neglect. While pointing out the location, he also detailed the strength and personnel of the Parthian army.
Zhao Rui was suddenly a little surprised: "Old sir, are you really just an old soldier stationed in the city?"
The old man didn't say much, just nodded.
Zhao Rui didn't ask any questions, left a team of people to collect the bodies at the scene, and then went directly to Shule City.
This is considered the central area of the Western Region, and Yehe City and Shule City are the two largest cities in this area.
As long as these two cities are occupied, almost the entire central region of the Western Region can be occupied.
Zhao Rui led the army and galloped all the way, and soon they arrived at Shule City.
Sure enough, this place fell into the hands of the Parthian army, and they had a total of 60,000 troops stationed here.
However, all the people accompanying the army on this expedition were cavalry, and they did not carry any siege weapons at all. It was really difficult to recapture Shule City.
After some deliberation, Zhao Rui suddenly pointed towards the lower corner of Shule City.
"Send the order, all the rear troops will dismount, take out all the sackcloth bags they carry with them, load them with soil on the spot, and then transport them under the city wall by the heavy armored cavalry!"
As soon as this order came out, several lieutenants present were stunned. They had never heard of such a method of warfare, and for a moment they didn't know what Zhao Rui was going to do.
