Chapter 1195: Escalation of the conflict

"Kill, don't leave one~"

Mao Dun roared and pulled out a cold and shining steel sword from his waist, and pointed at all the Gu Shi people in the valley with a murderous awe.

This big sword was obtained by him last winter when he led people to rob a caravan between the Western Regions and Daqin, the big sword is made of stainless steel, straight and sharp, and the workmanship is excellent, and there is a small seal inscription engraved on it, at first glance, it is the goods from Daqin, and it is with this sharp big sword that Mao Dun has unparalleled combat effectiveness, and this big sword is also the best weapon of the entire Dayue clan, even King Tunan is envious.

Mao Dun later inquired through some Hu merchants, this kind of weapon, like the sabre, is a prohibited item in Daqin, and cannot be sold and exported, and the merchant must have thought of a lot of ways to smuggle it successfully, but he snatched it before he could make a move.

Over the years, Mao Dun has been living in the Western Regions, with a group of subordinates wandering in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and the edge of the desert, making a living by robbing the herdsmen and merchants of the Western Regions, so he has gradually gained notoriety.

The shadow of the famous tree, the notoriety of Maudun resounded around the desert, and the neighboring Gushi people naturally knew better, so they saw that it was the people of Maudun who rushed in, so they knew that a vicious battle was inevitable, although panicked, but after all, they were all herdsmen and hunters who were mixed in the grassland, and in this roaring roar one after another, the Gushi people jumped on horseback and followed the leader to the valley to kill.

"Xiuxiu~~"

Accompanied by the sound of the bowstring vibrating, the Yue's longbow fired a volley, and more than a dozen Gushi people who bore the brunt of it screamed and fell, among which a few horses were planted by arrows, and in an instant a group of people in the narrow valley turned over on their horses, but the Gushi people did not have the slightest timidity, there was only one way to escape here, if they couldn't kill the valley, they would definitely be killed by the group of robbers in Maodun, this is their consistent style, and the robbery did not leave much alive.

"Boom~~" The two groups of people collided together at the mouth of the dim and narrow valley, hundreds of Gushi and the Yueshi people who rushed in densely rushed in strangled together, people roared and neighed, accompanied by screams one after another, blood sprayed all over the sky like a fountain, and one after another figures fell from the horseback.

Soon, the prepared Yueshi people gained the upper hand, taking advantage of the large number of people to quickly suppress the Gushi people completely, and a large number of Gushi people were constantly slashed and killed in the melee, and many Gushi people were killed before they even had time to ride their horses.

And the most tragic death was the middle-aged man riding on the sweaty BMW, who was directly besieged by a group of henchmen under Mao Dun, and his body was hit by several arrows and chopped flesh and blood.

The scuffle lasted less than half an hour.

The sky was completely dark, and the cold light emitted by a half-quarter moon rising in the east, hundreds of corpses were lying in the valley, most of them were Gushiren, and the chestnut sweat and blood horse had changed hands, and it was already in the hands of Mao Dun at this time.

"Your Highness, this place is less than fifty miles away from Gushi Wangcheng, and dozens of Gushi people have escaped, we must leave quickly!"

"Go~" Mao Dun turned the horse's head, and a group of subordinates also gathered the hundreds of horses left by the master and left with them, and after a while, only hundreds of corpses were left in the secluded forest, and the strong smell of blood drifted away with the evening breeze, and soon the howls of wolves could be heard from the surrounding mountains and wastelands, occasionally mixed with the roars and roars of tigers and bears.

Mao Dun intercepted and killed the Gushi horse hunting team, killed more than 300 people, and snatched the Tianma that had already arrived, this incident quickly shook the entire Gushi Wang City, and the Gushi King was furious, he originally wanted to use this horse to curry favor with the Great Qin Emperor, in exchange for more silk porcelain, but he didn't expect to lose hundreds of people and horses, not to mention, the Tianma that had already been in hand was also snatched away, so after being angry, the Gushi King was going to send a large army to chase and kill Mao Dun that night, but was dissuaded by many ministers.

Early the next morning, the elites of the three thousand elite Gushi Wangcheng went straight to the salt lake and the beach, and entered a small valley nearby under the guidance of the guide who escaped yesterday, but there were no corpses left, except for the blood all over the ground and the bones of the people and horses that were eaten and scattered, there were dozens of wild wolves still foraging in it, and countless vultures hovering over the valley.

"The king has an order, he must take back the Pegasus and chase ~~"

The general led by yelled and ordered the soldiers to chase to the northwest, but what they didn't know was that yesterday Mao Dun had returned to the royal court of the Dayue clan overnight and dedicated the sweat and blood to King Tunan, and King Tunan did not blame Mao Dun, and also knew that King Gushi would not give up, so he made arrangements overnight, set up an ambush on the way to Gushi, and suddenly launched an attack when the 3,000 elite army of Gushi Wangcheng chased and killed, and the army of 3,000 Gushi was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, leaving thousands of corpses to escape after half an hour of melee. The leaders of the Tunan, Humi, Maudun and other tribes led the army to chase for more than 100 miles, and once again killed near the salt lake, and the Gushi army lost hundreds of people again along the way and fled back to the city of Gushiwang.

In less than a day, more than 2,000 people were killed or wounded in the elite of the Three Thousand Kings City, and even the soldiers who fled back were almost all wounded.

"This king is going to personally kill these bug-like Yueshi and Huns!"

The king of the Yue clan roared loudly in the palace, ordering all the tribes inside and outside the royal city to gather troops and prepare weapons, and to launch an attack against the Great Yue Clan, which had been entrenched between the grassland and the desert for several years, to completely kill this group of bandits and robbers to take revenge.

The order of the Gushi King was quickly passed on to the various city-states and tribes of the Gushi Kingdom, and three days later, an army of more than 30,000 people was assembled, and the stirrups and saddles were all neatly equipped, although they seemed simple, but for those who rode them, there was no essential difference with the stirrups and saddles of Daqin, but in terms of weapons, they were countless grades lower than Daqin, except for the primitive and rudimentary bows and arrows, most of the weapons were still wooden spears and clubs, which were not much different from the equipment of the Xiongnu and Yueshi people a few years ago.

"Great King, such a large-scale war, do we want to pass General Li Xin!" The prime minister of the aunt was in a nervous mood and persuaded the king of the aunt.

"General Li Xin is still in the Dunhuang military camp, it will take at least half a month to come and go, and it will only take three days for this king to kill this group of wild dog-like homeless Yue clan and Huns, wait for this king to cut off the heads of Bi Kun and Mao Dun and then go to General Li Xin and set off!" Gushi Wang did not hesitate to veto the prime minister's suggestion.

"Woo~~" With the low and long sound of the horn, the army of 30,000 Gushi pulled out, and tens of thousands of war horses rushed to the north, like a surging wave, along the sparse woodland and grassland at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to kill the royal court of the Dayue clan two hundred miles away.

Half a day later, when the Gushi army killed to a river valley less than fifty miles away from the Dayue royal court, suddenly there were thousands of Yue's army killed, after a scuffle, the Yue's people were killed and wounded thousands of people and then desperately broke through and fled, the Gushi king ordered the army to chase and kill, chased to thirty miles away from the Yue's royal court, and was attacked by another Yue's people again, the sun set after the two sides fought for nearly two hours, the sky gradually darkened, and the Yue's people retreated in a hurry after dropping thousands of corpses again.

The two great victories fueled the smugness of the Gushi people, and the sentinels sent out also reported that the Yue royal court was quiet without any fire, and through interrogating the captives, it was learned that the king of Nantu had retreated to the northwest after learning that the Gushi king's army was coming, and the people left behind were the indigenous tribes who lived here at the beginning.

Gushi people thought that the king of Tunan was already afraid, and the terrain was not familiar with the situation was unknown, the king of Gushi ordered to camp and wait for dawn, but did not want to be in the early morning, King Tunan and King Humi and more than ten tribes launched a surprise attack, under the sudden attack, the Gushi people were chaotic and suffered countless casualties, in the melee, the Gushi king was killed on the spot with two arrows in his body, the Gushi people fled in all directions without fighting spirit, and the Yueshi people followed closely in the wilderness and between the mountains and ravines to chase and kill in all directions, a melee and until dawn, the Gushi soldiers and war horses were killed everywhere in a radius of hundreds of miles, When some generals and tribal leaders escaped from the battlefield to collect the soldiers and count, less than half of the more than 30,000 Gu divisions remained, most of them were killed and wounded, and many of them fled and surrendered.

And the victorious King Tunan did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, followed the remnants of the army who fled back to Gushi, and attacked the royal city and looted it, not only robbing a large number of people, livestock and goods, but also killing three princes, and by the way, several beautiful daughters and princesses of Gushi King were also taken away.

The death of Gushi Wang, the defeat of Gushi's army, and the sack of Gushi Wangcheng and more than ten nearby towns by the Dayue clan, this news frightened all Gushi people, and a large number of people began to drag their families to Yiwu, Yanqi, Qiuzi and even Loulan Dunhuang and other places, and the news immediately spread among the countries of the Western Regions.

And by the time the news reached Li Xin's ears, it was already seven or eight days later.

"King Tunan, this bastard, is getting more and more arrogant?"

After Li Xin heard the news, he pulled his beard and sat in the camp for a long time.

As the chief general of the Western Army of Great Qin, he has been stationed in Dunhuang for more than two years.

In the past two years, the Western Regions has been extremely stable, Dunhuang as the Western Regions between the Liang State and the Great Qin, he has been in accordance with the imperial court decree to recruit the Yueshi, Wusun, the Western Regions of the people and the prisoners of war captured at the beginning, it took two years to build two majestic city passes in Dunhuang, one is called Yangguan, the other is called Yumen, not only to check the Hu merchants and personnel, but also to facilitate the garrison.

For the people of the Central Plains, the city and the pass are always the simplest military means, as long as the city wall pass is built in the place where the terrain is dangerous, many times it can play a double effect with half the effort, so with these two city gates to block the main road, no matter what happens in the Western Regions and the future attack on the West, Daqin can be invincible, and at the same time, it can also firmly control the Liang country with long and narrow terrain and rich water and soil.
