In Gulan City, they modified chariots and trained cavalry. Uncle Ma's Western Expedition army was stationed for more than a month, preparing to go west again to conquer the city of Nicheng, the capital of the King of Loulan!
Due to their poor medical skills, 372 of the seriously injured Dalong soldiers died during the treatment process.
Three hundred and seventy-two people died. Liu Mingzhi locked himself in the room for seven days without seeing anyone, and no one knew what Liu Mingzhi was doing in the room.
Murong Shan didn't even step into the door except when the food delivery soldier put the food on the window.
Compared with the number of casualties in Gulan City, the 372 people killed by Dalong soldiers were nothing at all, but Liu Mingzhi still could not accept this number.
He didn't know how to face the fathers, wives and children of these 372 people.
"Mingzhi, the three armies are waiting for orders, it's time to go to war! The dead are gone, the living are mourning. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, you should not be so negative!"
Murong Shan's voice came from outside the door. Murong Shan always addressed her by her first name when no one was around.
The door opened with a clang. Liu Mingzhi held his armor in his hands and held his handsome seal as he walked out of the room and nodded to Murong Shan: "I'm fine, let's beat the drum and gather the generals!"
"yes!"
The sound of war drums resounded inside and outside Gulan City, and all the generals led by Song Qing gathered at the general station outside the city to wait for Liu Mingzhi's arrival.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the 400,000-strong army whose morale was soaring into the sky. He threw away all worries and raised his commander's seal: "The three armies obey the order and go straight to Loulan!"
"The handsome man is mighty!"
"The handsome man is mighty!"
"The handsome man is mighty!"
The trumpet sounded long, and Zhou Baoyu and the five men divided their troops in five directions and headed towards the auxiliary city of Loulan Kingdom, waiting for reinforcements from the Loulan enemy forces in Jani City to intercept and annihilate them at any time, and prepare to encircle the point for reinforcements!
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the cavalry galloping and changing various equestrian techniques. It seemed that he had made the right decision to reuse Shan'erhe.
The dragon cavalry would never have been able to perform such a difficult move before!
The Western Expedition Army, which left 10,000 auxiliary troops to guard the prisoners in Gulan City, arrived at King Loulan City three days later!
The smoke and dust brought by the nearly 300,000-strong main army led by Young Master Liu could not cover up his whereabouts. In this case, Liu Mingzhi directly ordered the three armies to march directly to the city.
Liu Mingzhi handed the document to Jiang Lei: "We will attack the city directly without leaving the city and surrendering in three hours!"
"Got the order!"
Jiang Lei rode Juechen and galloped towards the royal capital of Shanni City.
Song Qing hurriedly walked into the tent: "Commander, all those black iron pipes have been deployed according to your instructions and aimed at the walls of Jianni City!"
Liu Mingzhi put down the brush in his hand and nodded, "Are the cotton ear plugs for the soldiers ready?"
"It has been distributed to every soldier. Commander, can you now tell the general what these black pipes are?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the rice paper and raised it in front of Song Qing: "I knew you would be extremely curious, see for yourself!"
Song Qing looked at the large block letters on the rice paper and was stunned: "Cannon?"
"That's right, cannon!"
"What kind of firecrackers? Firecrackers set off during the New Year?"
"It's almost the same. It's closer to the cannon in chess!"
"Commander, I've tried to block the ears of the war horse. But your order is too strange. What's the use of blocking the ears of the war horse? The general will be exhausted from doing so many things. It's better to capture a city.
Still tired!"
"You will know in the future, and I have also figured it out. I don't care about whether His Majesty is afraid of it or not. Since I can't bring two cannons with me, I'm sorry for their birth. In that case, let's do it!"
"ah?"
"Farewell, Lieutenant General Song, I will play two games of chess with my commander. Three hours is not a short time. It is estimated that I will not receive a reply from Qiao Loushan until noon!"
"All right!"
The chess set was placed on the chessboard. Young Master Liu and Song Qing were trying to devour the opponent's chess pieces. Several people who were watching the chess in silence looked excited as if they were the ones playing chess.
Qiaolou Shan, the Loulan King's Palace in Jannicheng, was entertaining the envoys from the Guishang tribe of the Yuezhi Kingdom. The two exchanged glasses and exchanged cups and had a great time chatting.
Kushan envoy Shalot looked at Qiaolou Shan curiously: "Your Majesty, are you saying that after the news from Gumo Kingdom about Dalong sending troops to the Western Regions, you haven't heard any news about Dalong's army for more than a month?"
Qiaoloushan tugged on his beard and looked at Shalote calmly: "Yes, that coward Gumo Sangyang also said that more than 300,000 troops from the Great Dragon Kingdom had already formed an army outside their sand city, and I sent two troops
Wan Wan's reinforcements went to provide support and there has been no news back yet. I really don't know what this old guy Gumo Sangyang wants to do!"
"Your Majesty, didn't you send an envoy to Gumo Country to ask?"
"I went, but Gumo Sangyang wrote back and said that they were warmly entertaining our reinforcements. I didn't interfere too much. After all, with the Da Yueshi behind me, Gumo dared to take our Loulan soldiers.
What's wrong?"
Shalot thought for a while and looked at Qiao Loushan: "How is the army of the Great Dragon Kingdom? Didn't the King of Gumo Kingdom say anything about it? Was it annihilated or escaped?"
"I don't know, but there has been no news about this army for more than a month, and nine out of ten have escaped!"
"Will you attack other countries?"
"I don't know, but I have asked people to inquire about all the cities in Loulan Kingdom. There are no abnormalities. If you go to other countries, I will not be able to intervene!"
"That's true, as long as I, the Yuezhi, and your Shanshan Kingdom don't suffer any consequences."
"Report! King of Cavalry, there is a cavalry outside the city who calls himself the forward scout of the Great Dragon Kingdom, Jiang Lei, and shoots a baggage at the top of the city wall for the small one to present to the King!"
Qiao Loushan looked stunned and quickly put down his glass: "A forward scout from the Dalong Kingdom? Are you sure you are not lying? How could a forward scout from Gulan City in the Dalong Kingdom return to the Gu King's Yanni City!"
"This little one doesn't know. Your Majesty, you'd better see for yourself!"
"Report! There was an army of about 300,000 people approaching outside the city. They stopped five miles outside the city. I don't know where this army is!"
Qiao Loushan's expression finally changed and he couldn't wait to take the baggage, opened it and looked through it, while Shalote also leaned over and looked over.
Instead of covering up, Qiao Loushan turned sideways. Just as Aunt Mo Rongrong said, the Loulan Kingdom really followed the lead of the Yuezhi Kingdom.
Qiao Loushan looked at the contents of the document in horror with an expression of disbelief: "Gulan City was captured? Impossible. It took less than seven days for the king to receive the letter from Shanlebe, but Gulan City has been safe and sound!
"
Shalote frowned and stared at the paper with the national seal of the Gumo Kingdom on top of the document: "The Gumo Kingdom actually surrendered!"
General Qiaolou Shan threw the paper silk cloth to the ground and clenched his fists with a red face: "It's such a big statement to ask the lonely king to leave the city in three hours to surrender! The commander-in-chief of the Great Dragon Kingdom is really too arrogant. Someone is coming!"
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders!"
"Bang the war drum, the lonely king must educate this arrogant guy!"
"Leader"
"Wait a minute!"
Shaluote stopped the good minister of Qiaolou who wanted to go down: "Your Majesty, the army in Ganni City is only 30,000, so you should quickly ask for help from your auxiliary city soldiers! Let them come to King Qin of Ganni City to rescue him as soon as possible!"
Qiaolou Shan was stunned for a moment and then remembered what the scout said, the army of Dalong Kingdom was nearly 300,000 people!
He nodded with an unnatural expression on his face, and was almost confused by Dalong Kingdom's slogan!
After thinking for a while, Qiao Loushan looked a little ugly: "If Gulan City is really captured by Dalong Kingdom, the total number of Loulan Kingdom's soldiers is only more than 80,000 people! Your Majesty, Shaluote, please
You should immediately send a message to Brother Salbie and ask him to lead troops to support my king!"
Charlotte pondered for a while and nodded: "I will write a letter right away. You can find a way to support the army of the Dragon Kingdom for a few days. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is not suitable to start a war!"
