The devastated Xun suddenly thought that the only thing he could think about now was the hope that he could return to Loulan City in time to give an early warning.
"Prince, look!" The guard who had just taken two steps looked at Dongfang in horror and shouted anxiously.
In the east, shrouded in darkness, a fire dragon composed of countless torches lit up almost half of the night sky, and was rapidly approaching Beacon City.
The thundering sound of fighting in the direction of Bijia City seemed to have fallen into a brief silence due to this sudden scene. However, the silence only lasted for a moment, and then, earth-shaking cheers suddenly came from Bijia City.
Those were the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were still alive and the Huns knew that their reinforcements had arrived.
Lie Hu Mi looked at the fire dragon appearing in the distance in the east, with a sneer flashing in his eyes. He turned his horse and led the remaining Wusun cavalry of less than 20,000 people. Under the cover of darkness, they all turned their horses and retreated towards the west.
The direction in which the Wusun people retreated was Puchanghai where Loulan City was located.
The 20,000 Wusun cavalry who had been huddled in the rear since dark retreated. It was naturally impossible to leave the battlefield silently without being discovered by the coalition forces of more than 20 countries in the Western Region.
Of course, the coalition forces that were attacking the city at this time did not know that the Wusun people were heading for their home base, but simply thought that they were withdrawing their troops and returning to camp. With the Wusun people as a precedent, and the changes in the east, the Western Region coalition forces
It immediately receded like a tide.
Xun suddenly knew about the disappearance of Wusun's army led by Lie Hu Mi, and it was already very obvious. This was simply a trap, and he mobilized most of the countries in the Western Region around the Puchang Sea and consumed them.
The trap of the military forces of various countries. But even though Xun was suddenly frightened and his hands and feet were cold, he did not dare to tell the truth to the rest of the Western Regions who had lost almost one-third of the country's military strength.
He knew very well that once the generals in charge of the various countries in the Western Region knew about the Wusun people's plan, the remaining more than 10,000 coalition forces would immediately fall apart. At that time, the coalition forces would be in danger and fly away separately.
However, if the Western Region Allied Forces, which had lost half of their strength, were to split up and return to their respective countries, facing tens of thousands of Wusun cavalry, they would have no choice but to fall into the tiger's mouth and become trophies and slaves for the Wusun people's wolfish ambitions.
Only by gathering together can we preserve our strength to the greatest extent and have a chance to save the countries of Puchanghai that are already in danger.
Xun, who lied that he had ordered Lie Hu Mi to leave early and go back to explore the road, suddenly took over the command that originally belonged to Lie Hu Mi, and led the army to retreat in panic without even having time to clear up the camp.
The excuse that was full of loopholes did not arouse the suspicion of the generals of the Western Regions who had been frightened by the Nine Plains Army of Beacon City at the critical moment when the Qin reinforcements were about to arrive.
Before the Qin Dynasty entered the Western Regions, the ambitious Wusun people were already one step ahead of the Qin Dynasty in the Puchang Sea, setting off an endless bloody storm at the northern foot of the Tarim Basin.
History is rewritten again.
…
As the Western Region Allied Forces retreated like a tide, the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army guarding the walls of Bijia City seemed to have suddenly lost all their energy and fell to the ground.
"Brothers, General Su's reinforcements are here. Wake up! General! General! Brother Lao Wang, brother Lao Wang, wake up! Our reinforcements have finally arrived! Woo hoo!"
Li Yue, who still had two trembling arrows stuck in his thighs and shoulders, crawled with difficulty on the swamp-like corridor that was completely soaked in black blood. Every time he passed by a black-armored soldier, Li Yue would shake a few times.
After shouting a few words, he finally stopped beside Guan Yi and a general from the Nine Plains Army dressed as a 200-500-year-old master, crying like a child.
The originally crude city walls of Beacon City were now a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
On the narrow corridor at the head of the city, soldiers from the Jiuyuan Army in black armor and shirtless Huns could be seen falling to the ground everywhere. Most of them had a few or even a dozen thorns deeply embedded in their bodies.
Feather arrows.
Guan Yi, the captain of the Jiuyuan Army who commanded the 5,000 elite infantrymen of the Jiuyuan Army in Bijia City, still had five or six feather arrows stuck in his chest and back at this moment. His eyes were still glaring, but they had long since lost any life.
Next to Guan Yi was one of Guan Yi's five 2500 masters. Lao Wang was his code name. Just a small feather arrow shot from his left eye into the back of his head and took Lao Wang's life.
Under the Bijia City, which is more than ten feet high, the corpses of the Western Regions and Wusun people are piled up under the city, almost as high as the city wall which is less than ten feet high. Among these corpses, there are almost no complete figures in black armor.
, as well as numerous Huns corpses.
In fact, without the help of the Huns, Bijia City might have been captured by the crazy Wusun people. Maybe it was because of the good treatment given to them by the Qin army as prisoners of war, or maybe it was because nearly two thousand Qin soldiers arrived after being attacked by the Western Regions.
At that time, they sacrificed their lives to leave a chance of life for slaves like them who could be abandoned at any time. Or maybe even when the Jiuyuan Army defending the city was in danger, the Jiuyuan Army still did not use weapons to force these people who had been frightened.
The Huns, who lost their courage, went up to the city wall to defend the city with their lives.
In the only time the Wusun people attacked the city, when the Wusun people were about to board the city, thousands of Huns took the initiative to brave the sky full of arrows and rushed to the city in return for the help of the Jiuyuan Army.
their respect.
The sound of heavy footsteps came one after another, and Li Yue persisted until he finally fainted when he saw the bright black armor appearing on the top of the city.
…
Three days later, the battle report of Beacon City was placed on Hu Hai's desk.
There were 5,000 Jiuyuan troops under Bijia City Guan Yi's command. 4,569 people were killed, 320 were disabled, and 111 were slightly injured. Including Guan Yi, the commander of the Jiuyuan army, and four of his men
Two or five hundred masters, eight five hundred masters, more than forty hundred generals, etc. were all killed in one battle. Only one two or five hundred masters, two five hundred masters, several hundred generals, and several village commanders were all left.
Seriously injured.
The 20,000 Huns prisoners of war who built Bijia City suffered more than 12,000 casualties. Of course, of the more than 10,000 people, nearly 5,000 died in the first wave of attacks launched by the Humi-hunting coalition forces, and nearly two others died.
Thousands of Jiuyuan Army infantrymen also died in the first wave of attacks.
Seeing this, Hu Hai stopped reading.
Hu Hai actually didn't care at all about how many casualties the Westerners or other foreign races had suffered, and he didn't want to see them at all.
However, what he did not expect was that the battle in Beacon City, which he had not paid much attention to at first, would be the highest record of combat casualties for the Great Qin army since he came to the Great Qin.
In the emperor's study, Zhang Han, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Hao, Yang Rui, the ministers on the left and right, who were half sitting on the brocade stool, were all silent. From the look on the emperor's face, it was clear that the emperor was in a very bad mood at the moment.
"If I remember correctly, Bijia City is only eighty miles away from Yangguan City, and only one hundred and twenty miles away from Yumen Fortress. Why did it take Su Jiao's reinforcements seven hours to arrive?" (Unfinished)
