Regarding the Wusun Kingdom, Zhao Xun and others made a lot of insidious moves appear one after another. Although many methods are not allowed to be used, will Zhao Xun and others care? Of course not, as long as they can harm the enemy and benefit themselves,
Their methods will only be more ruthless. How can there be any justice and justice on both sides of the hostile side? It can be argued?
After discussing various strategies, Zhao Xun immediately arranged for people to do it. Even the garrison in Suye City made corresponding arrangements. After all, some actions must also be garrisoned and made a threat.
. Zhao Xun and others believed that at this moment, the Wusun Kingdom was determined not to fight again with the Great Zhao.
In addition, Zhao Xun also began to order caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions to supervise, and strictly prohibited some things that are beneficial to the enemy from flowing out. In addition to weapons, armor and equipment, some goods led by Da Zhao, there are even some related to farming, medicine, arithmetic, and commerce.
Books such as this have also been restricted from being outflowed.
It is a good thing for all nations to come to the court, but Zhao Xun definitely does not want it. All nations to come to the court to drive the surrounding countries to be strong and will insult the Han country in the future.[
"The Wusun people will discuss this for now. After our Great Zhao pacify the southern part of the Western Regions, we will slowly deal with him. With the strength of our Great Zhao, how could we be afraid of a small border country? Since you have prepared for it, why should we attack?
First of all?" Zhao Xun asked with a smile after giving the military order to operate in the Wusun Kingdom.
Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "Because not all countries in the Southern Union have the will to fight us to the death, nor are all the Western Regions in the southern region hostile to us. Therefore, my Da Zhao will be dispatched this time in the shortest and fastest time.
In the country, we will first eliminate a small country to shock the enemy's hearts. We will also let other alliance countries consider whether it is worth resisting us and losing the life of the whole family."
"So, we took a fancy to the small country in the western part of Qiemo Prefecture, the western part of Liangzhou. The Tujia is located between Khotan and the western part of our Liangzhou, and the national strength is in the middle of the Southern Union. There are more than 100,000 people, and they are wearing armor.
There were more than 10,000 scholars. However, this country has a close relationship with Khotan and is a hard-core alliance member. The Western Regions who invaded the southwest of Liangzhou in the past had soldiers from this country."
"In the past, General Li repelled the Tulun tribe when he recovered Qiemo, and this country was ready to take advantage of the situation. Fortunately, Tujiu Kingdom was not clear about the specific situation of our Da Zhao, so we did not do it for us when we recovered the western part of Liangzhou.
Increase trouble. Therefore, the country must be eliminated. Not only should it be eliminated, but it must be fast, cruel, fierce, and even killing the powerful and royal family of this country, giving the alliance countries a color.
"have a look."
"According to the west of Shule, crossing the Pamirs, and to the west there were other countries, our caravans crossed there before, and had traded with Tochar, Persia and other things to the west, and they had to deal with our goods
I am very interested. In the south of these countries, the rumors about our Da Zhao Haishang have spread to this extreme west. Should we contact them and let them send troops to restrain this part of the western part of the Southern Union?"
Zhao Xun shook his head quickly and said, "Persia? No matter what the reason, we cannot let other countries "interfere" in our circle of power. We do not know much about foreign countries in the west, so we must not easily communicate with them in depth.
The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the extreme western country invades the Western Regions, we can only passively defend."
"Besides, will this country in the extreme west have such a good intention because of our goods? It will restrain tens of thousands of troops for us?"
Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Although the Southern Alliance has a large number of troops, the terrain of the Western Regions is also unfavorable to us, and the transportation of materials in the rear is more troublesome, and we are fighting in the enemy's territory. From all aspects, we are in an unfavorable situation.
Although our troops are not as strong as the opponent, our soldiers are more brave than the opponent and our armor and equipment are sharper than the opponent. The more we fight, the more stable we are in the rear, while the enemy is suffering."
"Of course, most importantly, they are alliances, and uneven internal alliances. So, what else do we fear?"
"This time, we must act quickly and ruthlessly, and we must severely deter the Southern Alliance and set a good start for our army's actions. Therefore, in the initial operation, we cannot dispatch large troops, and still send small teams to dispatch.
.” Zhao Xun stroked his fingers hard on the west side of Qiemo Mansion, the westernmost end of Liangzhou, and said coldly.
"The last general asks for his appointment, and I am willing to be the pioneer this time!" Suddenly, several generals asked for his appointment.
"Xu Ye, Nangong Hao, in this operation, you two are the main generals, each leading 5,000 elite cavalry to Tuju Country." After arranging the generals who went out of the army, Zhao Xun smiled at Li Chenfeng again, "Uncle Li
, You are the commander of the first army, and this kind of thing is not what the commander should do. However, Tuju is located west of Liangzhou, so the journey will naturally be from Liangzhou. From the side of Mozhou Prefecture,
We must also put pressure on the flanks of the Pamirs, forcing the western countries to not easily mobilize their troops to support the east. Uncle Li, you and the Privy Councilor Situ are responsible for this matter."
Starting from the end of September, countless horse thieves and countless robbers in the territory of Wusun Kingdom. The Wusun people discovered that in addition to the Western Regions, there were also Han people, Turks, and people of all races.
All of them are large and small, raging hundreds of miles of territory in the eastern part of Wusun Kingdom. What’s hateful is that these horse thieves and robbers will leave nothing wherever they go, and all useful materials such as property, population, livestock, etc.
They were looted. Gradually, the Wusun people discovered that the eastern region had gradually become white. What's more serious is that some troops also began to be attacked, and the baggage teams that transported materials to the military and local areas were also attacked. In the end,
All the troops were attacked.
The Wusun Kingdom was very angry and sent a large number of people to capture these bandits. However, they also found out that the reason why these people acted in the eastern part of the Wusun Kingdom and plundered all useful things.
It is because the Great Zhao State in the east exchanged various supplies for slaves, livestock and other supplies. Therefore, the purpose of these robbery horse thieves, bandits and other gangs was to exchange supplies for Zhao State.
The Wusun Kingdom naturally understood the problem. You should know that there were Turks who came to loot, and many of them. At this moment, the western Turkic tribes fought with the eastern Turkic tribes and were at a disadvantage. If the Zhao army was willing to trade with various materials, these Turkic ones
It is normal for people to loot in the country.
The Wusun Kingdom was naturally unhappy and expressed dissatisfaction to the Zhao army and asked the Zhao army to stop this behavior of exchanging slaves for supplies. But the Zhao army naturally refused. After all, trade in goods is normal, and you are suffering from the Wusun Kingdom.
What does it have to do with me, Da Zhao? Your Wusun Kingdom and Da Zhao are not so good that I need to lose my interests to stop trading.
The Han merchants and Western Regions merchants used by the Wusun State to go to their borders threatened the Zhao army. However, the army immediately prepared a large army and made the Western Expedition, forcing the Wusun State to give up on Zhao.
The military force of the merchants. At this moment, the entire eastern border of Wusun Kingdom was in chaos, and tens of thousands of people were robbed. If the army of the Great Zhao came in again, the east was nearly a thousand miles north and south, and hundreds of miles east and west.
The region may fall into the hands of Da Zhao.
While the Wusun Kingdom was attacking horse thieves and mountain bandits in the territory, and negotiating with the Zhao army, the Dazhao army located in Mozhou Prefecture also began to sharpen their knives, which was very likely to advance south. The scouts and spies went south.
Exploring around, the situation in the western part of the Western Regions began to become tense. Of course, what was even more tense were the countries of the Southern Union. Although they were now alliances, they knew that in the war, many countries would definitely be destroyed by Da Zhao.
, except for a few major countries, the rest of the countries may be the one that was destroyed.
At the same time, in the Turkic tribes in the northern part of Shangzhou, the eastern and western Turkic troops became more and more fierce. With the Zhao army traded the weapons and equipment and some food for the Turkic tribes in the western region through the Western Regions, the Turkic troops in the western region barely stopped the decline of continued defeat.
, fought fiercely with the Eastern Turkic Army.[
In the southern part of the Central Plains, the war in Jingzhou became more and more fierce. Perhaps it was because Zhao Xun incorporated the northern part of the Western Regions into the Great Zhao and established a new state, which stimulated the Shu army located in Jingzhou.
A fierce attack was launched on the front line of the Yangtze River. The area west of Dongting Lake and south of the Yangtze River was finally seized by the Shu army from the coalition forces of Luoyang, Hanzhong and Qi, and forced the coalition forces to retreat north of the Yangtze River.
If it weren't for the advantage of the coalition forces, I was afraid that the Shu army had crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jiangling Prefecture City. Similarly, because the Shu army occupied Jiangling Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, located east of Dongting Lake, and the Yangtze River
The Jiangxia Prefecture in the south and the Qi army in Jiangzhou also began to do their best. After all, if the Shu army was allowed to cross the Yangtze River, then the western half of the Jiangxia Prefecture and Jiangzhou would be attacked from the west and the north.
Originally, the Qi army sent 50,000 troops to support the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang, but now more than 100,000 have joined. In this way, they are just barely defending the Yangtze River. However, the King of Shu Situ Che did not give up.
Instead of stopping because of the joining of the Qi army, we summoned large armies, built ships, and prepared to cross the river to fight.
However, during this period of war between the two sides, the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang also slowly stabilized the occupied Jingzhou. At least, there is no need to worry that the remnants of the Tang army would cause trouble in the rear. Of course, I want to make the occupied Jingzhou.
It will take some time for the land to provide support to our side. Fortunately, Jingzhou is rich, and most of the food and grass accumulated by the Tang army in the past was obtained by the coalition forces, so that the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang would not pay too much to appease the land.
Regarding the war in the south, Zhao Xun only focuses on the general situation. As long as it does not affect his overall planning, Zhao Xun will not deliberately "insert" hands or change things.
In early October, Xu Ye and Nangong Hao each rushed west with five thousand soldiers and rushed to the west from Qiemo Prefecture, entering the southern part of the Western Regions, and embarking on the attack on the Southern Alliance.
In autumn, the wind in the Western Regions was strong. Nangong Hao held the war horse and put his hand on the awning to look into the distance. It was almost evening, and wisps of smoke rose from the plains in the distance, and it was obvious that the locals were cooking.
"Is this the largest nomadic tribe in the northeast of Tujia Kingdom?"
"Report to the general, Tujia Kingdom is a country composed of five large tribes and some small tribes. Here is one of the large tribes."
"Big tribe? Humph! From today on, they will no longer exist. The army is ready to attack!" Nangong Hao showed a disdainful look on his face and ordered ferociously. Since then, he has entered the Western Regions, the Great Zhao army has been in the Great Zhao army.
Many generals and schools gradually became ruthless, and when they enforced their military orders, they often massacred the clan. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xun made Xu Ye and Nangong Hao the main generals of this operation. Zhao Xun wanted to
What is ruthless, what is needed is speed, and what is needed is to kill the entire clan.
The war horse under his crotch began to accelerate slowly, and then it became faster and faster, rushing towards the opposite side. Five thousand soldiers followed behind Nangong Hao, and the war horse under his crotch was nerry. Thousands of horses immediately showed rushing and waves were surging.
.
This camp looks quite small and is very suitable for cavalry combat. Of course, in the Western Regions, most areas are suitable for cavalry combat. The Tuhe tribe is one of the five major tribes of the Tujia country. Of course, this large tribe is just in Tujia.
As far as the country is concerned, if it is placed in the entire Western Regions, they are no longer worth much. The Tuhe tribe has a population of about 20,000, and the Jianrui elite cavalry is about 7,000. Among the five major tribes of Tuju, it ranks second.
.
Seeing a large group of cavalry coming, the entire Tuhe tribe also heard a long horn sound. After a moment, the Tuhe tribe's elite cavalry broke out of the camp. The nomadic tribe was acting quickly. If the Zhao army was attacked, it would be strictly prohibited than the other party.
, but it is definitely not as fast as the other party. Nangong Hao was a little impressed by this. However, that's all, he wouldn't worry about it.
"It's Zhao army! Zhao army..."
"Zhao Jun is here..."
Suddenly, various shouts came from the Tuhe army camp. It has to be said that after destroying the northern countries of the Western Regions, the Great Zhao was indeed very shocking to the southern countries of the Western Regions.
"Big Zhao Iron Cavalry!" A thunderous cry came out from Nangong Hao.
"Enemy in the world!" Five thousand soldiers responded together. The roar like a giant thunder echoed and roared in the wilderness...
Although the discovery that the Zhao army was attacking, Tuhe's army was shocked, they did not retreat. Of course, they did not have the chance to retreat at this moment. Moreover, they found that there were not many enemies coming.
The armies of both sides gradually approached, and Nangong Hao could even see the faces of the enemy cavalry opposite in the evening.
"Serial crossbow! Let it go!" Nangong Hao smiled disdainfully and shouted sternly.
"Buzz buzz..." Immediately, the cavalry of Tuhe heard a cotton-like buzzing sound in his ears, and a black cloud followed closely and flew over the Zhao cavalry opposite.[
"It's a crossbow arrow! Damn..." Some officers of the Tuhe army roared shrillly. However, they did not have a defensive shield, and they did not have armor on their bodies. This is a crossbow arrow, and even the leather armor on the Tuhe army officers can resist it.
In the afterglow of the evening, the cavalry of Tuhe tribe watched the steel crossbows in the sky with cold stars, just like the stars falling all over the sky.
The Tuhe tribe was hit by this sudden attack, and there could be resisted. The shrill wails, screams, and the sarcastic sounds of war horses returned in the sky. Facing the crossbow arrows of Da Zhao, they fundamentally ruled the territory.
"Arrowman, counterattack, counterattack!" The leader of the Tuhe tribe looked at his soldiers who were constantly under the knife, his face turned blue and he shouted angrily.
But the following scene made him feel ashamed. The Zhao cavalry on the opposite side fired a black cloud again. They didn't know that this was the Zhao army's crossbow, which was a close-range killing weapon.
If used in the Central Plains, as long as the opponent is wearing armor and shields, it will not be too powerful when fighting head-on. However, for the Western Regions, this weapon is a one-sided massacre at a close range.
A crossbow carries a crossbow box, and there are ten crossbow arrows inside the crossbow box. Each cavalry has three crossbow boxes, which can be replaced on the war horses at any time. In addition, the army also brought more than 100,000
The crossbow arrow is always replenished. Of course, this crossbow arrow is not as good as only once. After the war, most of them can be reused.
“Buzz buzz…”
The black clouds pressed against the cavalry of Tuhe's army, causing the dense cavalry of Tuhe's army to fall to the ground. However, the rain of arrows that the Tuhe's army barely took the time to counterattack, but the Zhao cavalry caused fatal injuries to the Zhao cavalry.
The military cavalry were protected by plate armor in the vital places. The armor was also wearing silk to protect the body to guard against arrows. The arrows of the Western Regions were far inferior to Dazhao.
It's right.
In addition, in addition to a horizontal sword and a continuous crossbow, the Zhao cavalry also had a round shield. As for war horses, after this battle, the cavalry would have two or three horses interchangeable.
After paying one-third of the casualties, the Tuhe cavalry finally approached the Zhao cavalry. Each Tuhe cavalry showed anger on his face. Although it could not be on the crossbow.
To defeat you, then, destroy you in close combat. Every Tuhe cavalry thought of this.
"Draw the sword in the front, throw the gun in the back!" Nangong Hao pulled out the horizontal sword and ordered sternly.
With Nangong Hao's military order, the knights in front of them put away the crossbows. With a clang, a clang of cold swords pointed straight towards the enemy formation...
However, what scared the Tuhe cavalry was that there was another whistling sound around, which was more harsh than the previous crossbow arrows, and black shadows flew out of the sky.
"Wheng..."
"Ah..." At this moment, the cavalry of Tuhe finally saw what was flying in. After more than four-foot shot guns directly pierced the three cavalry, they penetrated deeply into the ground.
Some of them even nailed the war horses and men to the ground.
As soon as the gun was thrown out, the cavalry of Tuhe was in chaos. Moreover, the gun was still continuously pressing towards the rear of Tuhe cavalry, making the fewer and fewer Tuhe cavalry approaching the Zhao army.
"Kill!" Seeing this, Nangong Hao smiled fiercely and waved his sword to meet him.
The Tuhe cavalry in the Tuhe army that fought with the front cavalry of the Zhao army had only a few hundred, and even several Zhao army cavalry killed one person. The Tuhe cavalry in the rear was still baptized by the Zhao army's spearhead.
In an instant, there were screams, roars, and curses on the battlefield.
