Sa'adin said in a daze: "Baby, don't be afraid, I brought those Han people into the city last night!"
The princess shook him hard again and said: "It's not in the city, it's outside the city!"
Sa'adin was shocked. He jumped up and said loudly: "What? There is an army outside the city? Come on, help me to see Mr. Liu."
Although he was in Pishan City, Liu Xin would not place the safety of his army on the guards of Pishan. After entering the city, he sent people to take over the city defense and dispatched reconnaissance cavalry to patrol around. When the troops outside the city left Pishan
When there were still thirty miles left, the whereabouts were already grasped by the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Liu Xin.
When Sa'adin rushed over panting, Liu Xin had already climbed to the top of Pishan City and issued an order to prepare for an attack.[
The walls of Nicheng, the capital of Shanshan, are no more than one person high, and Pishan is even weaker. It can be imagined that its walls are not much stronger than the camps set up by the Han army in the wild. But outside the city, everything is full of people.
There are more than 40,000 people in the dark army. In this case, it is better to take the initiative to attack than to passively defend.
As Liu Xin expected, outside the city was the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms of Dayuan, Shule and Yarkand. The envoy from Dayuan returned to Guishan City and reported what he saw in the west city to Lan Feng, adding more details to Liu Xin's story.
Xin's arrogant courtesy was of course also in order to show his merit, saying that he had found out the true and false situation of the Han army, which only numbered more than 3,000 people.
Lan Feng was already ambitious. Hearing that the Han army only numbered more than 3,000 people, he became interested. Especially when he heard that the Han mission carried a large amount of silk and porcelain that was more precious than silk, Lan Feng was completely determined.
Determined.
If Dawan wants to send troops to attack the Han mission, it must pass through Shule and Yarkand. This is also the main reason why Lan Feng united with Shule and Yarkand last time, and this time is naturally no exception. And Shule and Yarkand
Envoys from both countries also reported to their kings what they saw and heard in Xicheng, with special emphasis on the size of the Han army. The three parties, who had already been in contact, hit it off, with Dawan sending 20,000 troops, and Shule and Yarkand each sending troops.
Ten thousand, a coalition army was quickly formed. Twenty thousand people was nothing to Dawan, but to Shule and Yarkand, it was almost the strength of the whole country.
I don’t know whether it was because I heard that the Han mission was carrying such valuable items that Lan Feng couldn’t help but want to see them first, or because he bullied the Han soldiers and wanted to establish unparalleled military exploits. Anyway, Lan Feng had a "royal driver" this time.
Not only that, he also asked King Campbellin of Shule and King Gumuki of Shache to come together. Although these two kings were reluctant, they had to follow Lan Feng under pressure. In fact,
Lan Feng also had his own intentions for this move. As long as the two kings came together, they were already firmly tied to his chariot.
Now that he knew that the Han army only had 3,000 men, Lan Feng no longer planned to play the old trick of sneak attacks. Instead, he prepared to fight the Han army in an open and honest manner. If he wanted to fight the Han army in an open and honest manner, he would have to pass through Pishan. Originally,
For a small country like Pishan, Lan Feng didn't bother to pay attention to him. But when Yansai passed through Pishan on his way back to Dawan, he heard that Pishan King Sa'adin had taken the initiative to go to Khotan to hug Liu Xin's lap.
Lan Feng was furious. After reuniting with Shule and Shache, he immediately directed his troops towards Pishan, and then appeared at the foot of Pishan City.
Sa'adin climbed up to the top of the city and was shocked to see so many people and horses coming under the city. To be honest, except for the battle with the horse bandits in the wild the night before yesterday, he had never seen so many troops.
However, having seen the military power of the Han Dynasty and the eight thousand Han cavalry in the city, Sa'adin was obviously much calmer. He looked at the city for a while and suddenly said excitedly: "Master Liu, I didn't expect King Shule and Sha
The chariot kings are all here, look, there are two of them over there, the one standing between them can’t be the King of Dayuan.”
It turned out that although Sa'adin did not know Lan Feng, he knew the two close neighbors, Campbellin and Gumuki. Liu Xin was also quite surprised to hear that the kings of Shule and Yarkand came in person, so he picked up Qianli
Mirror looked towards the enemy formation.
There was a huge carriage in the middle of the enemy line, with as many as eight horses driving it. On the carriage, three men dressed in gorgeous silk clothes sat together, pointing towards the city head. In front of them were placed a
All kinds of fruits and fine wines were served, but beside them were several young and beautiful women.
Liu Xin put down the telescope and sneered: "You have to enjoy yourself so much while marching and fighting. I really don't know how to write the word "death"! Order the three armies to prepare for attack. Whoever can capture the three guys on the carriage alive will be credited with a great achievement!"
Sa'adin knew that Liu Xin still had more than 60,000 troops outside the West City. Although he had never seen the spectacular scene of 60,000 people gathered together, he was sure that that army was definitely stronger than the enemy troops under the city.
Duo. Hearing that Liu Xin wanted to attack, Sa'adin hurriedly advised: "Don't be reckless, sir. Why not wait for reinforcements to arrive."
"Don't worry, Liu today will let you see how the Han cavalry of the world's enemies swept through thousands of armies, and then let you experience the war wisdom of the East. You will organize the people in the city to kill cattle and sheep, and prepare fine wine.
"Waiting to reward my soldiers for their triumphant return." Liu Xin patted Sa'adin on the shoulder, pointed in the direction of the carriage outside the city, and said, "Did you see that there are a few beauties there? They must be Dawan."
The king has brought all his concubines. I asked the sons to capture them and warm your bed. Haha, haha... sons, kill them!"
Following Liu Xin's order, the west gate of Pishan City slowly opened, and three thousand Han cavalry plunged straight into the enemy formation outside the city like a sharp sword.
Sitting in the center of the huge carriage was King Lanfeng of Dayuan. Although he had never been to Pishan, he also knew that Pishan was just a small country with a population of several thousand. He used an army of 40,000 to attack an even old, weak, women and children.
But isn’t it possible for thousands of people to flatten the city just by raising their feet? Lan Feng, Campbellin, and Gu Daji drank wine leisurely, while their generals leisurely prepared the preparations for the siege.
preparation.
Suddenly, Lan Feng saw the city gate of Pishan open, and a group of thousands of cavalry rushed towards them. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that there are only more than 3,000 people in the city? Where did this come from?"
Many cavalry? Is it possible that even a three-year-old child can ride a horse and shoot an arrow?"
Yarkand is closest to Pishan. Gumuji knows the situation of Pishan Kingdom very well. After listening to Lan Feng's question, he also raised his head with a confused look on his face. However, he saw Yansai riding over, stammering.
The ground said: "My, my king, it's not good, it's the Han army, the Han army is coming to kill you."
"Han Army? Didn't you report that the Han Army only has more than 3,000 people in total? Looking at this situation, all the Han Army are here. Doesn't that mean that the Han mission has arrived at Pishan?" Lan Feng said "Huo"
He stood up from the car with a sound and asked a series of questions. Without waiting for Yansai's answer, he suddenly said excitedly, "That's good, it will save us a lot of things. Children, go to the city and have three days off!"
"[
According to Lan Feng's plan, they were originally going to attack the city. Now the soldiers in the city took the initiative to rush out and die. That was the best thing. But his soldiers were still making preparations to attack the city.
Those in front were infantrymen carrying various siege equipment, and there was no time to form a formation to meet the cavalry.
Although Dawan produces excellent horses, the most famous of which is the Sweat Horse, most of the people are farmers who mainly plant various crops, rather than nomads like the Xiongnu. Dawan's cavalry has excellent horses, and they can ride and shoot.
However, his level was mediocre, and his tactical literacy was far from being mentioned at all. Lan Feng's order had been issued for a long time, and the cavalry were still leisurely and unresponsive. However, the Shache cavalry on the left wing took the lead to greet them.
Yarkand and Shule are half-farmers and half-herders, and the soldiers' riding skills are much more sophisticated. However, no matter how high their riding skills are, they cannot surpass the Huns' cavalry, and the Huns' cavalry is vulnerable to Liu Xin's Han cavalry.
, so what chance do these cavalry have of winning?
Without stirrups, no matter how superb their riding skills are, only a few people can draw their bows and shoot arrows while their horses are galloping, let alone kill them with swords. There are as many as 5,000 cavalrymen in the Kingdom of Shache. These cavalrymen
The speed of approaching the Han army was not very fast. They needed to stop when they were within a stone's throw of the Han army. Only when the horses stopped running or were very slow could they exert their cavalry and shooting capabilities.
However, when they were still two arrows away from the Han army, the Han army began to attack first, and waves of arrows were fired at them. The coalition soldiers looked at the Han army's actions in surprise and did not believe it.
The Han army's bows and arrows can attack such a long distance. What surprised them even more was that the Han army's cavalry did not slow down at all during the process of archery. This is the real riding and shooting. With such cavalry and archery ability, even they
Even the best warriors among them could not do it, but the thousands of Han cavalry opposite them all had such ability.
Many soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces were stunned. They even forgot to dodge when the enemy's arrows came in front of them. It wasn't until screams came one after another around them that these soldiers woke up and made various dodges.
.
While they were hesitating, the Han cavalry had already rushed forward and drew out their sharp sabers. Before the Yarkand cavalry could even launch a counterattack with their bows and arrows, the battle had entered a moment of hand-to-hand combat. The Yarkand cavalry could hardly think of anything.
Without thinking, they jumped off their horses and drew out their scimitars. They could barely bend bows and shoot arrows while riding on horses, but few of them could do it while wielding scimitars on horses.
However, before they were ready, the saber in the hands of the Han cavalry had already been chopped down on their heads. The strength of the man plus the strength of the horse, coupled with the momentum of the horse, the power of this sword was unstoppable. The Yarkand cavalry suddenly fell on their backs.
, in the blink of an eye, the Han cavalry had torn the chaotic Yarkand cavalry formation into two halves.
