After attacking the horse ranch farm in Languyuan and the soldiers successfully obtained 30,000 war horses, Li Chenfeng and Xu Ye understood that they had successfully attracted the attention of the Wusun Army. Immediately, they began to gather their troops and evacuate secretly while starting to gather their troops.
Increase investigation of the Wusun Army's intelligence.
Sure enough, the Wusun army in each city began to act and frantically searched for the enemy troops wandering outside. However, the Zhao army had already hidden, and the Wusun army could not pursue these enemy troops that had attacked their own side. Instead,
Horse thieves everywhere suffered the disaster and became dead souls under the furious Wusun sword.
Hearing the rewards from each city, the commander of the Wusun Army Xiang Li was furious: "Why didn't a group of waste even find an enemy? Horse thieves? Do you think horse thieves have such courage? Horse thieves will attack the army directly, but instead let them go.
The residents who passed by the local area? Do they think the army is better than those ordinary people?”
"General, the enemy who raided Languyuan must have understood that we would retaliate, so they would inevitably hide. Among this enemy, there is Gaochang team, and we are far inferior to the familiarity with the terrain.
It is normal to be hiding by the other party." Of course, the generals present understood that the good news reported by the guards of each city was to wipe out many horse thieves.
Xiang Li naturally understood it, took a deep breath and said hatefully: "I am absolutely unwilling to accept it if I suffer such a loss. Tens of thousands of soldiers were injured and killed, and a total of more than 30,000 to 40,000 war horses were robbed. This is simply
The greatest humiliation to us.”
"But, our soldiers are basically catching up with the enemy, what should we do?" Although Xiang Li said and expressed the thoughts of the generals and generals of the Wusun Army, the solution was not easy.
Xiang Li glanced at the generals and school coldly, and then said, "So, the general thinks that in addition to the necessary stays in the city, the cavalry will immediately attack and increase patrols in various places. In addition, we cannot be so passive.
Defensively, it is about to strike out."
"The general's intention is that we will launch an attack on the Zhao army?" Many generals and schoolmen's faces changed slightly, and some people asked worriedly.
"Why can the enemy on the other side attack us in our territory, but we have to passively defend? This general believes that we can also send troops to the east and break into Gaochang's territory like them. They can send troops to attack us,
Why can't we fight back in the same way? We just need to spend some time with food and grass, so let's replenish it from the other side."
"General, the reason why our army defended the western part of Gaochang State did not continue to fight with the Zhao army and Gaochang ** team was because our army lacked logistics supplies. Now, the rear country is preparing for our continued expansion of the results of the war.
Is it not suitable to do it? If we fight the enemy on the opposite side in full swing, we will have no logistics supply at all."
"In addition, our army's new occupation of this western part of Gaochang State has not yet been completely stabilized. After this enemy's struggle, it is even more difficult for us to settle here. Finally, we will think that our top priority now is to eliminate internal troubles and stabilize the situation first.
This already occupied area will be operated as the rear of our future expedition." A veteran expressed different opinions.
Xiang Li said coldly: "I understand what you are worried about. However, we are not as good as Gaochang** team or Zhao army. Let's not talk about whether we can clearly clean the enemy troops hiding in the territory.
We continue to be passive like this. Even if the logistics supply is available, we are almost the same as being tossed by the other party.”
"In addition, this general is going to send a team to attack the other side, not to fight the enemy. Do you think the Zhao army will fight us in full swing at this moment? Their King Zhao has already taken 30,000 soldiers straight to Kucha, and is still here
To appease the country of Kucha. Do you think he hopes to fight us in full swing at this moment?"
"In the eyes of this general, the Zhao army's actions are mainly to hold us up and stabilize our place. They need time, and we also need time. They are for Kucha to be used for themselves, and for us, we need it.
That is the support of logistics supplies in the rear."
"If the Zhao army continues to toss like this, the land we occupy will continue to riot, and not only will the soldiers turn away to war horses, but they will be harassed by the enemy every day. Even if the support is supplemented in the future, we will no longer have the advantage.
”
"So!" Xiang Li said sternly, "This general also wants to make the enemy on the other side uneasy. We cannot passively defend and bear it. If the Zhao army on the opposite side really wants to fight us, we will not be afraid.
The general doesn't believe it. If the Zhao army defeated or suffered heavy losses, the country destroyed and suppressed by the Zhao army would have no idea."
Xiangli was the commander of the Wusun Army, and his military orders were naturally well implemented. The Wusun Army also began to divide into countless squads, crossed the city guarded by the Zhao army, and began to loot in the rear.
The Zhao army stopped its activities in the western territory occupied by the Wusun Army and instead began to hunt down the Wusun Army team. In the eyes of the Wusun Army generals, this was clearly because the Zhao army was afraid. Therefore, more squads began to be active
At this moment, Li Chenfeng was overjoyed. The task of restraining the Wusun Army was finally achieved.
Li Chenfeng and his team's purpose was to anger the Wusun Army and concentrate all the energy and attention of the Wusun Army in the eastern region so that they could ignore the southwest and provide convenience for the army led by Zhao Xun in Kucha.
, in response to the attacks and looting of the Wusun Army, Langcheng, which was stationed and the five cities behind them, were mainly passively defended.
In addition to attracting the attention of the Wusun Army, this has another purpose, which is to make the residents of Gaochang revenge and hostility towards the Wusun Army. Speaking of which, the Zhao army, like the Wusun Army, were invading.
Now, the Zhao army has begun to absorb and accommodate Gaochang through various means. However, the Wusun Army, which occupied the western part, is also accommodating and absorbing the western part of Gaochang. The Wusun Army has a more advantageous condition than the Zhao army, so
Even the Wusun Kingdom is also part of the Western Regions. Although it is located at the northwest end of the Western Regions, it is of the same race and body as Gaochang Kingdom, and the Zhao army seems a bit different here.
Therefore, Wei Zilin suggested that Li Chenfeng slow down the pursuit of the invading Wusun Army, so that these Wusun Army can "harvest" well in Gaochang State, so that the Wusun Army and the residents of Gaochang State will no longer have any.
Opportunities for integration.
When the Wusun army began to harass the rear of Langcheng and caused riots in various parts of Gaochang State, the Zhao army located in Kucha State also began to take action.
After obtaining Li Chenfeng's intensified information, Zhao Xun realized that it was time for him to act along the way. Kucha's country has been in a stable stage during the slow handover these days. In order to occupy the west in one fell swoop, it will do its best to take over the West.
The Wusun Army was completely defeated, and Zhao Xun prepared to dispatch 15,000 Zhao troops and 10,000 Kucha teams for this operation.
There were 30,000 Zhao troops who accompanied Zhao Xun to Kucha, but in order to prevent accidents from happening in Kucha, Zhao Xun arranged half of the troops to station six key places as a deterrent. Although he raided Feicheng, the logistics base of Wusun Army.
There is no need for too many people. But after the sudden attack and killing the materials needed by the 70,000 to 80,000 troops in Feicheng, the morale of the Wusun Army will definitely drop sharply and may even go crazy. At this moment, the army needs to attack in full swing.
Since he was not stationed in Kucha, Kucha would naturally not need to stay too many troops. Therefore, Zhao Xun gathered the existing troops of Kucha and selected 10,000 elite soldiers as
The subordinates who attacked the second echelon. At the beginning, King Heli of Kucha thought that Zhao Xun wanted to attack the Kucha army and sent them to fight against the Wusun army, and consume the only remaining military power of Kucha, so as to make Zhao
The army was in charge of Kucha. But after Zhao asked the truth, He Licai found that he was not a little worse than the King of Zhao.
While he was still hesitating, King Zhao could use two tricks. After learning about some of Zhao Xun's action plans, He Li was even glad that if he hadn't woken up in time, he would have been afraid that Kucha would have to be in harmony with him.
Yanqi is the same as Gaochang. Wusun State is indeed powerful in the Western Regions, but its governance is far less savvy and capable than the Zhao army. In addition, the rear support of the Zhao army is by no means comparable to any country in the Western Regions.
He Li naturally dared not refuse Zhao Xun's request. He did not dare to object when he was in power, let alone now. However, this move is also a test for the Kucha team. Zhao Xun also said that Kucha was the one who said that Kucha had been the first to be a member of the Kucha team.
The newly formed army of the State must also be transferred from the original Kucha **. Their treatment is equivalent to the Zhao army. Furthermore, in this war, the rewards of the merits and rewards are calculated based on the standards of the Zhao army, and the soldiers of the Kucha Kingdom
It is also good news. For Heli, it is also a good result for his own domestic soldiers to be in the Zhao army system.
Originally, Zhao Xun wanted to take charge of the command and raid Feicheng. But Situ Liang and Zhang Yuanjing, who came to Kucha with Zhao Xun, both dissuaded them greatly. Not only these civil servants dissuaded them, but even military generals also dissuaded them. Zhao Xun understood that this raid was very
It is dangerous and close combat. Zhao Xun is also extraordinary now. He is no longer a general of the army in the past, but a prince and a hegemony in the area.
For Situ Liang and others, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As a hero in the area, Zhao Xun can participate in such a dangerous thing. If it is a head-on battle, it is okay for King Zhao to appear in the army.
It is still because Zhao Xun started his career with martial arts and was familiar with military affairs. As for wars that require adventure, Zhao Xun, as King Zhao, decided not to appear in the vanguard.
The Zhao army, who had already been prepared, immediately began to act. More than 7,000 soldiers who had been secretly transferred to the north of Kucha, had already turned into horse thieves and interspersed from all over the place half a month ago.
Moving towards the north. Li Chenfeng's actions in the eastern part also made the Wusun army look at the areas close to the eastern part of the Zhao army. However, the western part was neglected a lot.
Therefore, dozens of teams scattered behind the Wusun Army and headed north, but were not discovered. Even if they were discovered, they were considered to be a team of horse thieves by the Wusun Army. After all, each team only had two or three.
The hundred people were completely like horse thieves. Of course, they also plundered local residents from time to time, which was completely different from the raid of the Wusun Army in the east. Therefore, when they could not catch up, the Wusun Army in various places did not
Deliberately searching for the traces of these horse thieves.
In their opinion, these horse thieves have not taken action against them yet. If they anger these horse thieves, the consequences will not be very good if they happen to Languyuan. Languyuan lost a large number of war horses, and the result was that Langucheng Guardian was guarding.
The general lost his head, but the other party did not catch it. They did not want to follow in the footsteps of the general.
When the Wusun Army began to frequently attack Gaochang State and thought that the Zhao army and Gaochang State began to retreat, more than 7,000 Zhao troops finally appeared outside Feicheng.
As a transfer place for Wusun Army's food and grass, Feicheng provides food and grass supplies and weapons to the garrisons occupied by the Wusun Army and its surrounding areas. Logically speaking, there should be heavy troops here. However, the defenders here were not expected.
So many.
Feicheng is located in the northeast of the western part of Gaochang State occupied by the Wusun Army, so he lost the Wusun Army to guard the city. Moreover, in order to ensure that the Feicheng is foolproof, the Wusun Army drove all the residents of Feicheng out of the city and moved to other places.
Region. In other words, the current Feicheng is completely an empty city except for five thousand defenders and two thousand civilians.
After raiding the Kucha team originally stationed in the western part of Gaochang and being raided by Zhao army teams, the 80,000 Wusun Army, there are only more than 67,000 people. In the eyes of Xiangli and others, this is in the rear.
In Feicheng, five thousand soldiers were stationed in it, and could handle any unexpected situations. After all, without residents in the city, the soldiers in the city did not need to open and close the city gates, they just needed to guard it allegedly, waiting for the team of fortune, food, and supplies to arrive. And around it
, the nearest city can come to rescue in two hours. If it weren't for the large army to attack, five thousand elite troops could defend the city and resist any accidents. If the army arrived in Feicheng and did not know the other cities at all, this only means that the Wusun Army
The front line was defeated. At this time, it was no longer important that the number of defenders in Feicheng was more or less important.
If it were in the Han area, this situation would naturally occur rarely. But here, a city is just a small county or a big town compared to the Han area, and there are not many residents in the city.
Arriving outside Feicheng, the chief general Zhang Ju and deputy general Nangong Hao did not get too close. Although there were not many defenders in Feicheng and the guards were not tight, neither of them dared to be negligent. Their target this time
, in one fell swoop, destroying the fat city, killing and injuring the enemy, the main thing was to stockpile enough for the 70,000 to 80,000 Wusun Army and reserved weapons that were needed for the 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in January.
Now that Wusun State cannot transport food and grass in time, once this fat city is captured and the food and grass is burned, the 70,000 to 80,000 Wusun Army, which occupy the thirteen cities in the western part of Gaochang State, will lack food and armor and equipment to supplement it.
Then, it is time for the Zhao army to take action.
After self-study, they checked the surrounding situation and asked about the situation in the city, Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao believed that the time for action was up. In order to find out the exact location of the granary in the city, they also arrested several Wusun army patrols to investigate the situation.
.
In order to succeed in this one, Zhao Xun asked the 7,000 cavalry to prepare a large amount of tincture oil, and on average each person had a sheepskin bag of tincture oil. In addition, each person had a thunderclap. This time, it was almost used up
30% of the existing tincture oil and thunder in the Western Regions. However, as long as you can win, it will be worth it.
After finding out the situation of the enemy, Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao no longer hesitated. After all, after arresting several soldiers in the city, accidents would inevitably occur after a long time. So, Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao led 7,000 soldiers to the night shift.
, quietly approached Feicheng and launched a surprise attack on Feicheng.
Although Feicheng is considered a big city in the western part of Gaochang, it is just an ordinary county town compared to the Zhao army. It is even far less solid than the county town under the Zhao territory. After all, the Han people are used to building solid cities in their residences to protect themselves.
, However, the people of the Western Regions are not good at this. In the Western Regions, many countries are still accustomed to nomadic life. They live with grass and move with water.
The night was dark and I couldn't see my fingers. This was a good day for a surprise attack.
"This Feicheng only has two gates, east and west, so, this time we went out together, and used the thunder to blew up the west gate and east gate, and defeated the defenders in the city as quickly as possible. Remember, the army used the thunder to storm the sky to storm the sky to storm.
Lei opened the way and burned all buildings with tinder oil. Among them, eight granaries were the most important." Zhang Ju ordered the captains beside him in a deep voice.
"Brothers don't need to worry, the defenders of Feicheng did not expect that there would be enemy attacks in this hinterland. Therefore, their guards are relatively lax, and our actions will inevitably succeed. In addition, there is no complete in the city.
Fire-fighting measures, as long as we defeat the defenders, this fat city will inevitably be burned to ashes."
Accompanied by a series of loud rumblings, dazzling red lights shone at the east and west gates of Feicheng. Immediately, outside the east and west gates of Feicheng, a series of shouts of killing and the rumbling of galloping horses came.
The deafening rumbling sound naturally spread throughout the city, and the defenders in the city naturally heard it very clearly. However, most of the soldiers stood up for no reason and then prepared to lie down and sleep. But for those old soldiers who have experienced many battles,
Yan, the shouts of killing and horse hooves came immediately, and they immediately understood that this should be an enemy raid.
"Enemy...sneiro attack..."
The patrol soldiers closest to the east and west gates were the first to discover the Zhao army attack, and they roared shrillly. However, their roars also made them the fastest Wusun army to die. The Zhao army rushed in and rushed all the way.
, along the way, the sheepskin raft filled with tinder oil was soaked directly on the empty houses on both sides, and then rockets were shot out. Suddenly, balls of flames rose into the air, reflecting the red of the entire sky...
"Boom..." Zhao Jun was so stupid that in front of the Wusun Army that had just come out and formed a formation, dozens of thunders were thrown out, and immediately blowing the intercepting army into ashes...
Seeing the attacking enemy troops were flaming Qilin flags, they naturally understood that this was the Zhao army. But they didn't understand why the Zhao army appeared here. But the explosive weapon used by the Zhao army immediately made
All the Wusun Army left aside all the thoughts of escaping...
