The morning in the Western Region was very quiet, but a little cold. Lu Xuan got up early in the morning, did morning exercises with Xu Chu, and then had breakfast with Ayina, then left Jiaohe City with his army and started heading towards Qiancheng. go.
When the army set off, Lu Xuan discovered that there was a guard with beautiful complexion and plump figure beside Cao Cao.
Lu Xuan saw it and didn't care.
Just turn a blind eye and close one eye.
Old Cao is already old, and it is really hard to work with him. But in these years, Boss Cao has no pressure, and his head has recovered. Even his gray hair has become much darker. It's really It's surprising.
The army set off and headed further towards Qiancheng.
From Jiaohe City, we passed through the Yanqi Kingdom, and then headed west. However, the farther west we go, the greater the temperature difference between day and night. Because it is October, the sun is shining during the day, and although the wind is cold and dry, it is not too special. cold.
But at night, ice and snow conditions appeared.
This is the norm in the Western Regions.
The temperature difference between day and night is extremely large.
It is precisely for this reason that the fruits of the Western Regions have become a specialty, and it is also the reason why many businessmen come and go from business to business and like to do business here.
The army led by Lu Xuan went all the way west. When it entered the territory of Qiancheng, it was already entering October.
The climate is getting colder and colder.
Lu Xuan didn't care much about the cold weather, because the officers and soldiers in the army all wore thick clothes, and there was a steady supply of food and grass in the rear, and there was plenty of meat, so there was no need to worry about the disadvantages of the war.
When Lu Xuan's army was getting closer and closer to Qiancheng, the news also reached the ears of King Chaori in Qiancheng.
King Chaori has been very irritable recently.
In Tianzhu, King Chaori looks like a wise man, calm and open-minded, without any impatience. Moreover, every time he appears, he enlightens the monks and lectures them.
He can easily solve the government affairs in Tianzhu.
He easily put down the war in Tianzhu.
Now, I feel a little powerless.
This is one of the reasons why King Chaori is very irritable and uncomfortable.
In the camp, King Chaori, after venting for a while, temporarily let his mind go, thinking about the follow-up war. While he was thinking, Emperor Mo came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Vishnu wants to see you."
"please come in."
King Chaori gave an order.
Emperor Mo went to give orders. After a while, Vishnu came in to salute and said: "Your Majesty, the grain and grass collected so far already amount to two million kilograms, and they are all stored in the granary built in the city."
"In addition, there are already 30,000 Tianzhu people captured again."
"Some of these people escaped from Qiancheng before. Many others were found from local noble castles and captured from other countries."
"If these untouchables don't cooperate, they can only arrest people."
"With more than 30,000 people in the city, we can do a lot of things. And when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty comes, we can use these untouchables as our weapons and let them charge."
When Vishnu mentioned the people of the Western Regions, he also called them untouchables.
No mercy at all.
The reason is very simple. Tianzhu is a country with a caste system, which has been deeply rooted in the bones of countless people. Vishnu is a high-caste person, and in Tianzhu's inheritance, this has been the case for generations.
He treated the Vaishyas and Shudras of India as untouchables, and killing people was like trampling an ant to death.
What’s more, people from the Western Regions?
In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why King Chaori, Mosituo, Shavadi, and other Tianzhu people have never regarded the people of the Western Regions as human beings. These people of high caste are superior in nature. People of low caste are It captures the lowest level of people who can be despised.
King Chaori looked approvingly and praised: "You have done a very good job. You are worthy of being someone I value."
Vishnu said: "You have thanked me."
King Chaori asked: "Is there any news from the domestic army?"
Vishnu replied: "I just got the news yesterday that the army has passed Congling and is on its way to Qiancheng. I estimate that it will take another three to five days. This time, there are a full 60,000 elite soldiers, and they have sent more Eighty war elephants have returned. Although the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is becoming less and less suitable for war elephants to fight, but now we try our best to overcome it. As long as we agree to the Ming Dynasty's army, everything will be fine."
King Chaori praised: "You are right, although the environment is relatively difficult, it will be no problem to overcome it."
"King!"
At this moment, the old eunuch Mo Di came in and reported: "Your Majesty the King, a sentry from the front line came back and said that he had found information about the Ming Dynasty's army. At present, the Ming Dynasty's army is less than twenty miles away from Qiancheng. , is about to arrive.”
"I know, let's explore again!"
King Chaori gave the order calmly.
Emperor Mo turned around and went down to make arrangements.
The expression on King Chaori's face seemed a little anxious and a little worried, but he was still full of fighting spirit. He wanted to see what kind of person this emperor of the Ming Dynasty was.
King Chaori said: "Vishnu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is here. Do you think the other party will directly attack its Gancheng?"
"should be!"
Vishnu spoke very firmly.
His eyes were bright and he said: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has just arrived, and the morale of the army is strong, so we can attack immediately. However, in this battle, our troops are smaller, so we need to wait a little longer and defend Qiancheng first."
"When our reinforcements arrive later, let the war elephants go out to fight, destroy Lu Xuan's camp first, and then let the army attack from a flank."
"The key is not to be impatient at the beginning."
"I believe that when Lu Xuan, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, arrives, he will definitely make various provocations and further stimulate His Majesty the King to go to war. However, the cavalry, infantry, and armor of the Ming Dynasty are all very complete and well-equipped."
"The other side's soldiers are also very powerful in combat. We are not suitable to go into battle directly."
King Chaori rubbed his big beard under his chin, and with his other hand rubbed the beads hanging on his chest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I naturally have this kind of concentration. Anyway, I used to be a debater." The Buddha is an invincible man. Just wait and see, when the army led by Lu Xuan arrives, if he wants to come and shout, I will let him know what the enlightened man of Tianzhu is and what the wise man of Tianzhu is."
Vishnu was also inexplicably confident in King Chaori.
This is the influence of King Chaori after his previous debates on Buddhism. Everyone recognizes King Chaori and feels that King Chaori is the embodiment of wisdom and invincible.
The monarch and his ministers discussed the defense of Qiancheng again, and then waited quietly.
When the sentinel reported again that the Ming Dynasty army was approaching Qiancheng, King Chaori and Vishnu and others began to leave the military camp and went straight to the east gate tower of Qiancheng.
King Chaori was wearing a gorgeous royal robe and a hat. His hair hanging down his shoulders had a hint of natural curls, and a big beard under his chin highlighted his majesty. He stood on the tower with his head held high and stared at Far away outside the city.
Not far away, a black line appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the black line turned into an invisible figure, and there was a big flag fluttering in the wind. The big dragon flag fluttered in the wind, which highlighted the extraordinary and pressure, and made people feel a breathtaking atmosphere. .
The distance was getting closer again, and King Chaori had already seen the dark army outside the city.
In the middle is a neat infantry formation, with cavalry on both sides.
The black army spread outside the city. The murderous aura and the intimidating momentum made people's hearts sink. Even King Chaori was frightened by the number of people outside the city who were like the Ming army filling the mountains and plains.
There are too many people.
Simply countless.
King Chaori took a deep breath to calm down, but he saw the army of the Ming Dynasty stopped a hundred steps outside the city. After this army formed a formation, the soldier at the front holding a shield and a knife took the lead in using the knife. He beat the shield and shouted.
The army behind them also shouted.
The shouts of hundreds of thousands of people echoed in the sky above Qiancheng, the sound shook the sky, and it revealed endless pressure.
The military strength of the Ming Dynasty was fully revealed.
Immediately afterwards, all the voices suddenly broke out, and the whole noisy surrounding suddenly became quiet, as if everything was still. After getting used to the sound of shouting, the sudden silence made people feel a little depressed.
King Chaori suddenly noticed the situation and frowned, because all this was Ming's intention.
It's about taking the lead.
King Chaori smiled coldly and said mockingly: "Take a lot of effort!"
Vishnu followed King Chaori and looked at the neat Ming army outside the city. He recalled everything just now, but his eyes were extremely solemn. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a man who knew how to march and fight, and the other party had such a scheme. , coupled with the combat effectiveness proven by the previous cavalry battles, it highlights the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty.
Daming is very strong!
There is no doubt about this.
In this battle, we can only defend first and then consider counterattack after reinforcements arrive.
While Vishnu was weighing and thinking in his mind, he saw Lu Xuan riding a horse in the military formation outside the city. He looked up at the city tower and said loudly: "I am the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Lu Xuan, are the barbarian emperors of Tianzhu, King Chaori, here?"
