An hour later, the original neat walls were left with only broken walls.

The venomous elephant soldiers, with the coordination of the foot soldiers, marched straight towards the city.

Terrible screams rang out in the city. Although the body poison occupies the initiative, it is obviously beyond control of this kind of county. And the civilians in the city can't be taken under their command.

The border between the two countries is too far away from the poison king, and it is simply unrealistic to move the people back, and staying nearby will only be cheap again or the local forces that are poisoned are not the result of the poison royal family's willingness.

Rather than letting these people return to Guishan or waste their troops to take care of them, it is easier to kill a hundred people. By the way, you can also plunder a lot of wealth by slaughtering the city.

"It's really a barbarian, and he slaughtered the city directly! Not for the Son of Man! Zhuge Liang, who had always been calm, couldn't help but open his mouth angrily when he saw this.

When Sima Yi heard this, he glanced at Zhuge Liang with disdain: "The kindness of a woman." War is a game of everything to win the game, so why care about the lives of some untouchables? Don't you know how many people starve to death or are bullied to death every day? ”

The caste hierarchy of Kushan and Poison itself is built on endless blood. The superior has this absolute power of life and death over the inferior. For the aristocracy, as long as they don't go too far, it's normal to kill a few people at random. In contrast, although the Han people have a clear hierarchy, they are much better, at least they dare not directly commit crimes and kill people on the surface.

"It seems that there are really no reinforcements coming from the Guishan side." Zhou Yu said with a little regret.

Originally, he thought he could take the opportunity to pick up some bargains, but this time he was just a spectator.

"Your intelligence isn't accurate." Sima Yi glanced at Zhou Yu.

"In such a big war, the two armies naturally have very strict control over intelligence, and it is difficult to obtain accurate information. The information obtained from this operation is only a part, and although I can deduce the approximate scale of this battle, I cannot accurately know the full movements of the two armies. Zhou Yu sighed lightly.

"Both sides are large empires with a population of nearly 10 million, and no matter how sluggish we are, it is impossible to allow us to wantonly steal intelligence, and it is not easy to get so much information." Zhuge Liang said.

"It's okay, it's already beneficial to be able to watch a fierce battle." Lu Xun said with a smile.

Although the two sides did not show much brilliance in this battle, Lu Xun still got a lot of inspiration and ideas from the array of troops and the way of fighting of the two armies.

The ruler is short, and the inch is long. Countries have taken very different paths, and almost completely different ways of fighting have their own strengths. With Lu Xun's eyes, he can naturally clearly perceive the differences and advantages and disadvantages, and after spending some time studying and integrating the essence into his own concept of commanding troops, it will definitely be of great benefit.

"Is Guishuang's reaction so slow? If this continues, the balance of war will inevitably be tilted in favor of the body. is also one of the four empires, how can he be so afraid of a single body poison? Sima Yi frowned.

"It's not that the soldiers in front are not elite, but that there are too many people in the rear." Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.

"The northern nobles of Kushan and the nobles of the south have always been hostile to each other. Over the years, the northern aristocracy has been greatly weakened by the independent raising of troops by small countries, and was once suppressed by the southern aristocracy. This time, the poisonous invaded Guishan from the south and the power of the whole country, and the northern nobles and the Guishan royal family were not enough to see the excitement, and they did not cause trouble behind their backs. ”

"The people in power do not hesitate to lose the interests of the entire country in order to balance and seize power, which shows that Guishan is not far from the destruction of the country."

"If someone hadn't been in the way, Kushan wouldn't have been left without support. This time, we were going to wait for them to lose both of us before we could reap the benefits, but now that this situation is the case, we can only withdraw our troops for the time being. ”

Faced with the already clear situation and the loss of less than 30% of the poisonous army, Zhou Yu decisively gave up the idea of sending troops and directly led the army to evacuate quietly.

"It's okay, there's always a chance." Lu Xun said optimistically.

……

Northwest Kangju, the vast grassland, go to Chang'an 12,000 miles.

Since taking in the Northern Xiongnu, this small country adjacent to the Northern Xiongnu began to gradually break away from the control of the Kushan and returned to the identity of one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

However, King Kangju was not at ease, because he was caught between the Northern Xiongnu and the Kushan, like stepping on a tightrope between the cliffs, and if he was not careful, he might fall into the abyss of ten thousand tribulations.

Fortunately, the Northern Xiongnu and Guishan were quite restrained from each other, and neither dared to break out into war. Since the Northern Xiongnu were defeated by the Han Dynasty, they have not yet recovered their vitality, and they dare not rashly start a major war and are bent on restoring their national strength. And Guishan was afraid of the terrifying combat power of the Northern Xiongnu and did not dare to start a war easily.

In the midst of this strange equilibrium, the balance has been maintained for years, and yet this fragile equilibrium is about to be broken.

At the junction of the northwest of Kangju and the Northern Xiongnu, a group of "horse bandits" with no more than 500 people quietly appeared.

"Strategist, isn't it inappropriate for us to come here with such a small number of people?" After some disguise, Li Wei looked at Xu Shu who was full of excitement beside him, and couldn't help but speak.

He was convinced by this little military division, Wen Tao didn't say anything about martial arts, not only was he proficient in strategy, but even his martial arts were good, and two or three soldiers in the army couldn't easily take it. You must know that the generals and soldiers of the Flying Bear Army are all tigers and wolves, and Xu Shu can do this, it is enough to be a thousand generals in an ordinary army.

However, the profundity of resourcefulness cannot replace the shallowness of experience. Xu Shu's immature face and expression full of excitement really couldn't give Li Wei a sense of security.

"What? General Li Wei, who is crisscrossing Xiliang, is now afraid? Xu Shu saw Li Wei's cautious look, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"So-and-so is not afraid of death. We and other 500 soldiers have no complaints even if they are all sacrificed here, but if you are buried here, I am afraid that you will be worthy of the entrustment of Your Majesty and Mr. Jia. Li Dao said.

"It's okay, if you don't believe in wisdom, you should also believe in your own ability. The 500 Flying Bear Army is here, as long as we don't die, how can the Northern Xiongnu take us? Xu Shu said confidently.

"Although we are elite, but after all, there are only five hundred, if the Northern Huns send a large number of light cavalry to attack, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck."

Although Li Dao is brave and confident, he is also self-aware. The combat power of the Northern Xiongnu was forged through countless blood, and his 500 Flying Bear Army may be able to deal with tens of thousands of Qiang people, but against the Northern Xiongnu who have more than 10,000, eight or nine times out of ten will be wiped out.

"There are not many soldiers, but they are fine, and this time we are here to test the Northern Xiongnu rather than start a war with them. The smaller the number of people, the easier it is to move and hide, and five hundred elites are enough. Now that we are disguised as horse bandits, we don't need to entangle too much with the Northern Huns, we only need to test one or two. "Xu Shu is not a reckless person, he has a plan.

"Your Majesty has not yet decided to go to war with the Northern Huns, but it is inevitable. Moreover, if my expectations are correct, I am afraid that it was not my Dachu who was the first to start a war with the Northern Xiongnu, but someone else. It's better to prepare ahead of time than to rush later. Xu Shu's eyes were shining, and he said meaningfully.
