Spears and scimitars struck Wutu's bones together, but they couldn't penetrate the flesh at all.
Wu Tu Gu was furious and looked at the surrounding Wusun Army with blood-red eyes. Even the Wusun Army, who was not afraid of death, was slightly startled, and then he saw the metallic light of the big ax under the firelight.
The ax rotated 360 degrees, decapitating the heads, waists, and legs of the twenty or so surrounding soldiers. They were all cut into several pieces in an instant, and their corpses were scattered all over the ground.
The Wusun Army relied on a suicidal charge to break through the already chaotic Tengjia Army. Many Wusun soldiers rushed out, but many were killed by the Tengjia Army. There were only more than a thousand Wusun soldiers who rushed out.
people.
"Fire the arrow." Wang Xu ordered in a deep voice.
A row of arrows shot at the Wusun soldiers who rushed out. The Dongzhou soldiers' volleys were specially trained by Zhang Ren. They did not seek complete accuracy, but only comprehensive coverage. The arrows formed a neat line in the air.
Cover the Wusun soldiers.
There was a wave of three hundred arrows, the first wave shot out, the second wave followed, and then the third wave of arrows.
The first wave knocked over the Wusun soldiers in the front, the second wave knocked over the Wusun soldiers in the middle, and the third wave knocked over the Wusun soldiers rushing out from behind.
After three waves of arrows, less than 500 of the more than a thousand Wusun soldiers who rushed out remained.
At the same time, two teams of archers commanded by Su Lan rained down arrows. A thousand arrows smashed down. Five hundred Wusun soldiers were crucified, and dozens of Wusun soldiers were left.
He charged towards the Dongzhou soldiers' main formation alone.
There was no need to touch the shield formation at all. The Dongzhou soldiers in the front row who were shooting arrows put away their bows and arrows, raised their spears and killed them. Dozens of Wusun soldiers who had been rushing for a long time were quickly killed by the Dongzhou soldiers who were waiting for work and were outnumbered.
Liu Zhang frowned. Although none of the Wusun soldiers could move him, with the help of mere infantry, he actually rushed through the cavalry composed of Dawan horses and avoided the cavalry archers. He rushed through the Tengjia army and even killed them.
Now that our own formation is here, this kind of combat power is really surprising.
Mi Tian was even more shocked and angry than Liu Zhang. He originally thought that only the Tengjia Army of the Sichuan Army was invincible and elite, but now he realized that he was completely wrong.
He knew about the Shache cavalry, but Su Lan's horse archers had no clear insight into the powerful penetrating power of compound bows in the Yamaguchi battle.
To Mitian's surprise, if it weren't for the restraint of this archer, more than a thousand Wusun soldiers would have broken out of the Tengjia army formation.
As for the soldiers in Liu Zhang's formation at the back, they could be shot with bows and arrows every day. It was obvious how sophisticated this army was, not to mention that there was a well-fitted shield formation behind them.
Although the Han army only had 10,000 men, how many men would it take to rush through? If not all of his soldiers were fearless of death, even if there were 100,000 more men, they might not be able to kill Liu Zhang.
Wusun soldiers were still charging to kill, but Mitian was already desperate. The desperate Mitian did not flinch or commit suicide. Mitian drew his sword.
The manpower was sometimes poor, and no matter how brave the Wusun soldiers were, they were not afraid of death. When the Tengjia army dispersed and formed a formation, the Dawan cavalry organized a second charge, and the Wusun soldiers ushered in their doom.
After the cavalry archers fired, the Tengjia army blocked it, and under the impact of the Shache cavalry, the Wusun army was finally wiped out.
At this time, Liu Zhang saw Mi Tian leading his few dozen soldiers to charge towards the Sichuan army.
"What are you doing?" Liu Zhang frowned and suddenly understood vaguely. Now Mitian had to lead his soldiers to escape. It was almost impossible under the pursuit of the Dawan horse cavalry. So what if he escaped? Mitian escaped alive.
Can God give him a second chance to revive Wusun?
If I was the loser in the Guanzhong battle, could I do it again?
And now Mitian may be even worse than when he lost the Battle of Guanzhong, because he lost this army and lost everything. If he returns to Wusun like this, he will definitely be attacked by all parties. For a person like Mitian
, is undoubtedly the greatest humiliation.
Moreover, if Mitian ran away like this, how could Mitian face the lost soldiers? All the soldiers died under Mitian's leadership. If Mitian ran away like this, did Mitian really have the same heart and mind as those soldiers who died in the battle?
A real traitor never misses a chance and will definitely run away at this time, but Mitian doesn't. Liu Zhang exhaled from his suppressed chest. It seems that Mitian is still different from other villains. He has the ability of a villain, but he is also a true patriot.
.
Dozens of Mitian's soldiers were instantly submerged in the cavalry flow of Dawanma. Liu Zhang didn't mind leaving Mitian's body intact, but he couldn't let his soldiers restrain themselves, which would cause more casualties to his soldiers.
Mi Tian and dozens of soldiers were inevitably trampled to pieces.
The massive Wusun army was wiped out, and Liu Zhang led the Sichuan army to occupy the palace. Latiya couldn't wait to know Ye Ke's situation, and Liu Zhang immediately sent people to search.
"Thank you to the Han Heavenly Army for saving the country." Queen Jingjue returned to the palace, looked at the familiar palace, and bowed to Liu Zhang with tears of joy.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you'd better go change your clothes first."
Liu Zhang took a cup of tea and pretended to drink it. Then Queen Jingjue realized that she was still wrapped in Liu Zhang's dirty coat. Her face turned red and she immediately ran to the side hall.
Liu Zhang watched Queen Jingjue go out, smiled, and said to Wang Xu beside him: "When will Zhao Yun and Pang Tong arrive?"
Wang Xu thought for a moment: "The sandstorm season in Bailongdui has passed for more than a month. If it is the cavalry, it should be in these days."
Liu Zhang nodded, Mitian was eliminated, as well as Wusun's own army and Kushan army. They were able to eliminate Mitian before Wusun's reinforcements arrived, saving a lot of trouble. However, if Wusun's reinforcements and Guishang are not eliminated, the Western Region will never be destroyed.
An Ding, especially the Kushan army, is an imperial army and will never allow the Kushan army to get involved in the Western Regions.
There was also Latia. Liu Zhang glanced at Latia who was standing anxiously. Now that he had used her to eliminate Mitian, her use value had been greatly reduced. What should he do with it?
The five thousand cavalry were in the hands of Latia. If Latia was killed directly, the five thousand cavalry would also be destroyed. Five thousand troops, five thousand Dawan horses, and five thousand sets of armor, Liu Zhang was really reluctant to part with them.
At this moment, Liu Zhang suddenly caught Latiya looking at him from the corner of his eye. Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "The nervousness on the girl's face is just fake. She deliberately pretends to be anxious about her brother, but she is actually looking at her."
What’s your reaction?”
It's no wonder that Elatea's intelligence would not have thought of it. Now that Mitian has been eliminated, her life is completely in Liu Zhang's hands, and of course she has to worry about her own life.
Liu Zhang was already inclined to kill Latiya. This girl looked innocent and kind, but deep down she was so dark that she didn't even know when she would be killed.
At this moment, Queen Jingjue had come out, followed by a group of elite civil and military personnel. These people were all locked up in the dungeon. Liu Zhang noticed that Latiya looked behind these civil and military personnel. When he found that there was no Ye Ke
Finally, her brows furrowed, and Liu Zhang felt that her worries were real this time.
"Thank you to the Heavenly Army of the Han Dynasty for saving the country." Queen Jingjue bowed down together with all the civil and military officials.
"There is no need to be polite, Jingjue is a vassal of my Han Dynasty. As long as we do not disobey the Han Dynasty, I, the Han Dynasty, have the responsibility to ensure the security of any vassal country. However." Liu Zhang paused and said: "Your Majesty, the people of Jingjue should have sacrificed a lot this time.
Less, right? This is a pity. I would like to ask the Queen to express my condolences, and also ask the fine people to express their condolences."
Liu Zhang's words made Queen Jingjue and all the civil and military officials look downcast. This time, tens of thousands of people were killed at the top of Jingjue City by Mitian, and the total population of Jingjue was less than 20,000. The small Jingjue City, now
More than half of the population has been wiped out. How can Queen Jingjue and other Jingjue people not be sad?
At the same time, he became even more hostile to the Wusun people.
After a while, Queen Jingjue reluctantly raised her head: "Wusun invaded, which was a century-old disaster for Jingjue, but at least thanks to His Highness the King of Shu, the country was saved. As long as we Jingjue still have people, Jingjue will not
Death."
Liu Zhang nodded. Queen Jingjue said again: "Your Highness, King of Shu, winter is about to begin. Due to the dry climate in Jingjue, dehydration is even more serious in winter, which is prone to disease. The Han army is stationed in Jingjue. We, Jingjue, welcome you, but please
In addition to preparing more water, the King of Shu also needs to prepare some medicine."
Jingjue, like Loulan, is also a country that is gradually becoming desertified. Over the past hundred years, the climate has become drier and drier, and there are fewer and fewer cultivable places. Jingjue has even made many laws to protect the environment, such as cutting down a tree and imposing fines.
A cow waits.
But desertification still cannot be stopped. Not only are the climate conditions harsh, there is insufficient food, and there is severe water shortage, but many diseases are also caused by the dry climate and water shortage.
Jingjue people live here all year round, and of course they have prescriptions to prevent these diseases. Queen Jingjue reported them to Liu Zhang one by one. Although Liu Zhang didn't know much about medicine, he heard that they were all for the digestive lag and salt-alkali precipitation caused by lack of water.
The medicine was not a big deal, these Sichuan troops brought some with them in order to cross the arid areas of the Western Regions.
On the march to Qiemo, a lot of medicines were used, otherwise there would have been a lot of casualties due to diseases caused by dryness and dehydration.
After the queen finished speaking, she was about to leave. Two Dongzhou soldiers brought out a man. It was Latia's brother Ye Ke. When Ye Ke appeared, Latia's anxiety finally disappeared. Liu Zhang saw that it still appeared.
I felt a little happy, thinking that this girl was not inhumane at all.
But he was afraid that Latiya was still acting, so Liu Zhang did not dare to take her expression too seriously.
"Your Highness." Latiya suddenly walked out with a calm expression and said to Liu Zhang: "In addition to the medicines mentioned by Queen Jingjue, Your Highness should also prepare licorice, Imperata root, Centella asiatica, and a large amount of ordinary Cordyceps sinensis.
"
"Sanxue Cordyceps?" Liu Zhang was a little sensitive to this, but he knew that there are still many Sanxue Cordyceps in the Western Regions, but the Sanxue Cordyceps that originally treated Huang Yueying had special requirements, so it was more difficult to find. It was easier to find ordinary Sanxue Cordyceps.
Much.
But even if it is easy to find, it is still a very valuable medicinal material. Didn't you see that Huanyao climbed so high a cliff just for that Cordyceps sinensis plant? There is also a large amount of Cordyceps sinensis plant. Is this so easy?
"Do you need these?" Liu Zhang asked Queen Jingjue.
Queen Jingjue frowned. She didn't have a good impression of the Shache Kingdom that occupied Jingjue. Of course, she didn't have a good impression of Latiya either, but she didn't dare to be careless in front of Liu Zhang.
But after searching carefully in my mind, I still answered: "You probably don't need these."
Liu Zhang looked at Latia, who said casually: "It's not necessary at first, but if you want to live in a place crawled by a lot of snakes and scorpions, you need it."
"Do you need it?" Liu Zhang turned around and asked King Mulu again. King Mulu touched his head. This was embarrassing for him. Yes, King Mulu raised many snakes and scorpions, as well as centipedes, spiders, leopards, jackals, and eagles.
.
But even if these numbers were added up, they were not more than one percent of the snakes and scorpions that Latia used at one time. "A large number of snakes and scorpions crawled by?" King Mulu had never seen so many snakes and scorpions before, so how could he know "a large number of snakes and scorpions"?
Where snakes and scorpions crawl, how to prevent poisoning?
"I don't know." King Mulu said after holding back for a long time.
Liu Zhang looked at Latiya again: "Tell me why."
"If you don't believe me, throw me down." Latiya strode out directly.
"Your Majesty, King of Shu, calm down." Ye Ke was shocked when he saw his sister being so angry in front of Liu Zhang, and hurriedly confessed to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang waved his hand and said it was okay. He was still thinking about whether to kill Latia. He mainly valued the five thousand cavalry and whether Latia was still valuable. If he thought about these two things well, Latia would lose his temper.
It's really not within the scope of consideration.
Three days later, news came from the northern scouts that a large number of Wusun soldiers were approaching Jingjue. Liu Zhang thought to himself, Sure enough, they came anyway. It seems that no matter how corrupt the Wusun people are, they are still afraid of offending the big man, so they can only break the pot and break it.
Come on, win this battle first.
It's just that those Wusun people didn't know that a huge mistake had been made, but they themselves were dead. Jingjue City was in the hands of the Sichuan Army. The Wusun Army was no longer a threat. The city was in hand, so what if it was the mighty army?
?
Liu Zhang was about to order the entire army to defend. Almost at the same time, Dongfang Kuai Ma came to report. Zhao Yun led 10,000 Xiliang cavalry and arrived. The rest of the army was helping Loulan regain his kingdom.
When Zhao Yun arrived with his army, Liu Zhang no longer had any scruples and immediately ordered Wu Tu Gu to lead 5,000 men to join forces with Zhao Yun and set up an ambush in the north of Jing Jue, preparing to annihilate Wusun's army.
At this time, Liu Zhang felt that it was time to talk to Latiya.
"Go and ask Latiya to come over." Liu Zhang said to his soldiers, who followed the order and left. At this moment, Liu Zhang suddenly felt dizzy, put his hand on the table, and felt a slight sting on his head.
Liu Zhang was shocked. Could it be that the disease had recurred again?
Xiao Furong on the side was startled. She had been taking care of Liu Zhang. Since the half-year period, she would not leave an inch unless there was a battle, and she always paid attention to Liu Zhang's situation.
Liu Zhang was in good spirits for the past ten days, and even looked rosy in the last few days, which was a rare good look in the past year. Xiao Furong had the illusion that Liu Zhang was about to recover from his illness, but since he took the Jingjue, Liu Zhang
His complexion took a turn for the worse. (To be continued)
