The Western Regions is really too big, only a county of Ruoqiang in later generations, which is equivalent to the total area of Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Hebei, and now the Western Regions are much larger than the Central Plains, attacking the former country of Cheshi from the mountain country, the distance is also equivalent to Yecheng to Xudu so far, after arriving in the mountain country, Cao Zhang is also impatient, and the army directly does not move, waiting for the country of Cheshi to kill the door.

This wait, that is, for many days, just in the impatience of Cao Zhang and the others, eleven days, the army of Che Shiguo finally came.

More than 100 years ago, the Che Division was one of the overlords of the Western Regions, especially one of the important minions of the Xiongnu, repeatedly attacked the Han envoys, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Ponu led the army to capture the King of Loulan, the broken car division, during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Wang Hui led the Loulan Five Kingdoms Alliance Army to attack the Che Division Jiaohe City, and broke the city to capture the king.

However, after suffering such a heavy blow in a row, the Cheshi country is still one of the most powerful oasis countries in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and unlike other oasis powers, the Cheshi is divided into the former country of the Cheshi and the latter country of the Cheshi, the former country is located in the south of the Tianshan Mountains and is based on farming, and the Cheshi Houguo is located in the north of the Tianshan Mountains and is established by nomadism.

This allowed the country to have both the sustenance and equipment of the farming people and the fierce cavalry of the nomadic people.

This is the first official battle since Cao Zhang's exit from the Western Regions, no wonder the Che Shi dared to plunder the Han envoys along the way, and against Wang Hou, the entire Che Shi country went south with more than 10,000 cavalry, and there were tens of thousands of city-state infantry who subdued the Che Shi country, in the description of the people of the mountain country, it was more than 20 thousand, and this number of troops was like a mountain country all over the Western Regions, and in the eyes of a small country with a total population of only five or six thousand, it could be called the power to destroy the world.

And the chariot of the chariot is read in the sound of the horse, in the era of the Western Han Dynasty, the car is not the meaning of the cavalry, but the meaning of the chariot, Bosten Lake is covered, dense and flat in the Western Regions Gobi, marching in the front of the Cheshi country is a thousand chariots.

However, these chariots were different from the heavy chariots of Sima La in the Central Plains, at most they were light chariots, with two horse-drawn chariots from the Western Regions in front and a basket-like body made of poplar and sand willow branches in the back, and then mounted on a large axle, and then a royal hand drove and an archer shot with a bow and arrow.

Not to mention, this formation is quite bluffing, don't look at the chariot swept into the dust of history by the cavalry, but on this general plain, the impact of the chariot is really not to be underestimated, no wonder the "dwarf king" who blows the cowhide to the sky suggests that Cao Zhang rely on the defense of Mocheng.

However, in the face of the threat of the chariot of the chariot master, Cao Zhang still pulled the troops away on the plain, and the Chinese army took Zhang Jaw and Guo Huai's 5,000 veterans of the Bafu Hundred Battles as the core, and arranged 2,000 Guanzhong iron cavalry on each wing, and another 1,000 cavalry were pressed by him in the rear army, and they were placed in various poisonous scorpion formations to prepare for attack.

In the state of etiquette, Cao Zhang is much stronger than Wang Hou, although the saber rattling, he still sent an envoy to persuade the other party to surrender in accordance with the etiquette of war.

However, the blatant plundering of Wang Hou's Han caravan, and such a fierce army overwhelmed the border, it was naturally impossible for the Cheshi people to surrender so easily, and the envoy sent came back after a while, full of anger in front of Cao Zhang's horse and clenched his fist heavily.

"Dadu Hu, the queen of the chariot master, Wang Shanmu Yimi, is arrogant, he asked my Han to withdraw from the Western Regions forever, and every Han caravan that crosses the border must pay half of the goods to the chariot master as a tax, otherwise! Let all my Han army die here! ”

"Half ???"

She really deserves to be Wang Hou's daughter! Before Cao Zhang, the capital of the Western Regions, spoke, she was already very disrespectful to the leader and roared wildly.

"Needless to say! Beat the drums and go to war! Today, my aunt and grandmother I don't even know these car masters, Miss Ben wrote upside down!! ”

Seeing the angry appearance of his eldest nephew, Cao Zhang was not angry, but mourned silently for these car drivers, and then gave a dull shout.

"Beat the drums, start the war!!" Flying

This trip is to explain to these small barbarian countries what is China! What is a king! If you can't talk about it together, then roll up your sleeves and start drying!

The sixteen-sided cowhide army drum was beaten by the shirtless Han army with his muscles and rumbling, although strategically he despised the enemy, but tactically, it was necessary to pay special attention, and even opened his jaw to personally come to the front of the infantry formation, staring at the chariot of the chariot division that was slowly moving more than a hundred meters away on the opposite side, he hissed and roared as hard as he could.

"The crossbow tiger squats in front of the artillery array, and the thief chariot charges, which frustrates the thief's spirit! The thief chariot is shaped from the side of the formation, the two wings of the phalanx are contracted, and the flank heavy infantry is on the wheel of Xuanhua axe khaki! ”

"Panicked Traverse, slash!"

His roars were heard by the overlord Cao Jun in the military formation, but looking at the chariot of the chariot that began to slowly accelerate as the Han army declared war with the drums and whips, the muscles in the ears of the Han infantrymen couldn't help but twitch on the faces of the Han infantrymen, after all, he needed to bear the impact of the chariot in this great plain with his flesh and blood!

And this thousands of car division light chariot is really full of momentum, two horsepower super acceleration, zero hundred acceleration performance is only half a month, with the driver master waving the whip, two poplar bent into the big wheel bumps stirred up a burst of dust like the yellow dragon.

Seeing that these chariots rushed to forty or fifty meters, the frightened Cao army's light infantry violently ignited the tiger squat cannons, and snapped the double bows and crossbows in their hands.

However, the autumn and winter were dry, and the smoke and dust stirred up were too high, and after the bows and crossbows and shells were fired, the results of the battle were not light, and the lightly armed troops in the forefront had already turned around and ran back with more than 50 pounds of small cannon barrels on their backs.

Watching his comrades pull back, facing the smoke and dust in the sky, the heavy infantry who had pulled up into a long column gritted their teeth, squatted down and stepped forward, and the heavy propaganda axe in his hand trembled and aimed at the front of the smoke and dust.

However, just as the beads of sweat fell, everyone's nervous brains were bulging, and their hearts were beating wildly, but the smoke and dust did not take a step forward thirty meters away from Cao Jun, except for the chaotic cries of crackling horses' hooves, Cao Zhang waited for two or three minutes with his heart in his heart, but the smoke and dust dispersed.

About one or two hundred chariots were damaged on the ground, shot with arrows or pierced by pill buckshots, and the horses that were not dead fell in pools of blood groaning and kicking their legs, but in addition to being killed by bows and crossbows and killed by tiger squatting cannons, many chariots collided with each other by themselves, broke the axles, and the chariot warriors who drove abandoned the cars and fled.

Then, more than 100 meters away, the Cheshi army was in chaos like an ant's nest, and the sergeants were everywhere.

"Little Dengzi! Is this a fighter? ”

Although it is not considered to be rich in warfare, but the Liaodong Military Academy has collected war materials for so many years, and has never encountered this situation, in Cao Zhang's stunned and eager questioning, Deng Ai shook his head hesitantly.

"Beware of deception!"

It was also too unexpected, Cao Zhang himself was stunned and picked up the binoculars, but saw that in the chaotic Cheshi army, a Western Regions nobleman in armor ran over on a horse with a bearded face, trembling and fluttering, kneeling in front of the Han army's military formation, and howling with a crying voice.

"The envoy of the Heavenly Han is up again, and we have surrendered! I beg the Han envoy not to slash us with thunder again! ”
