Chapter 316: Attack in groups
Wei Qing saw that the Wusun army was retreating unhurriedly, and knew that it was impossible to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle, but if he didn't fight a decisive battle with Wusun, if it continued like this, the 200,000 Han troops would definitely die, then, was there any way, Wei Qing frowned, thinking nervously in his head.
In a moment, he thought of several ways, and then vetoed them one by one, and now in this situation, even Wei Qing is already at a loss.
"Not good!" On the other hand, Bai Buxin suddenly screamed, and pointed his hand forward.
Wei Qing looked at Bai Buxin's hand, only to feel a blackness in front of him: around the 200,000 Wusun army, two more huge teams appeared, each with at least 50,000 people.
The Han army already had no numerical superiority, and was at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, and now there were 100,000 enemy troops on the left and right flanks, but how to resist it.
The trumpets sounded, and the troops on the left and right flanks began to attack, but instead of attacking the Han army, they launched an attack on the Wusun army at the same time.
Wei Qing was overjoyed at this time, and turned his head to look at Abri.
"Condor!" Abri said only two words.
Wei Qing nodded: "Not bad!" ”
He and Abri both understood that the reason why there was such a huge number of Western Regions troops to help the Han army was the credit of the Divine Eagle, and Abri used the Divine Eagle to pass the book to the countries of the Western Regions, pointing out that the Wusun people had poisoned the oasis water, first, the countries had long been dissatisfied with Wusun's arrogance, second, the Han army defeated Wusun, proving that the Han army had the ability to destroy Wusun, third, the Han army had entered the Western Regions, which was a great opportunity to overthrow Wusun's oppression of various countries, and fourth, it was also Wusun who actually poisoned the oasis water and committed public anger, Therefore, the countries of the Western Regions actually united to send a large army to deal with the Han army.
Seeing that the dust was rising in the distance, and tens of thousands of people were attacking from behind the Wusun army, how could Wei Qing let go of such a good opportunity, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking, keep moving forward!" ”
The Wusun army was steadily retreating, waiting for the Han army to attack when it could not support it, but he did not expect that suddenly the left, right, and rear sides were attacked by the sneak attack, and the Han army pressed straight from the front, and the enemy was attacked on all sides, and there was chaos in an instant, Wei Qing urged the whole army to rush over, the Wusun army was powerless to resist, and in a blink of an eye, the whole army collapsed, and the sound of shouting was like the sky falling apart, Wei Qing looked at the situation on the battlefield excitedly, he knew that this time Wusun was powerless to resist, he had defeated 200,000 Wusun troops before, and this time he defeated 200,000 Wusun troops, I heard Abri say before that the entire Wusun country was mobilized, that is, 400,000 troops, and now he has almost defeated the entire Wusun army.
Of course, the Wusun Army that was defeated before was not completely annihilated, but this time. Although the Wusun army was defeated again, as far as the eye could see, tens of thousands of Wusun troops had fled, so it was not that there was no soldier available in the Wusun country after the two wars, but it would be very difficult for Wusun to gather 200,000 soldiers and horses.
Abri led a Western Regions army to the left rear of the Wusun army, to intercept the defeated Wusun army, the Wusun army was flustered, where can there be an organized breakthrough, Abri led the troops to kill thousands of soldiers in one breath, was committing suicide, but saw a person in the Wusun army rushed straight over, this person danced a spear in his hand, the body was a set of black armor, under the crotch riding a white camel, countless arrows shot over, but could not shoot through the armor on this person, this person hit the vertical thorns, back and forth conflict, brave.
"Who's that!" Wei Qing blurted out.
On the side, Wei Qi'a was looking at this person, heard Wei Qing ask, and replied: "He is Prime Minister Wusun, the first warrior of the Western Regions, Geerdan!" ”
Wei Qing immediately looked at it, and saw Geerdan's spear dancing, penetrating the encirclement, and had already opened a bloody road, rushing out with thousands of Wusun troops.
Wei Qing snorted coldly, this time he didn't have a good comparison with Geerdan, next time, he must give it a try to see how capable this Geerdan is.
The Wusun army was defeated this time, with as many as 70,000 or 80,000 casualties, and nearly 30,000 people were captured, with a total loss of about half of the entire army, 100,000 people, and the Han army finally escaped this time, and hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the Western Regions brought a lot of water, and the Han army finally did not have to endure the torture of thirst.
For seven days, the army did not move, and the generals of the Western Regions saw Wei Qing one after another, and batch after batch of reinforcements arrived to join the ranks of the Han army.
Seven days later, the total number of Han and Western Regions allied forces had reached 400,000.
Wei Qing commanded 400,000 coalition troops, this time it was no longer the Han army, but the coalition army, Wei Qing appointed Wei Qi'a as the commander-in-chief of the Western Regions of the coalition army, Abri and Bai Buxin were both deputy commanders of the coalition army, and Wei Qing was the commander-in-chief.
Since the Wusun army had been defeated, and the Turpan Oasis could not accommodate more than 400,000 people, and there was no need to go to replenish the water source, Wei Qing decided to go straight to Bosten Lake and attack Wusun, according to the intelligence of the people of the Western Regions, Wusun had five big cities, all on the shore of Bosten Lake, and destroyed these five cities, which also destroyed Wusun.
If you go to the Turpan Oasis first and then go to the Wusun country, since Hami calculates, the total road is 1,100 miles, but if you don't have to go to the Turpan Oasis, you can save a lot of distance, not to mention that the Han army has walked more than 200 miles, and it is calculated that as long as you walk another 600 miles, you can reach Bosten Lake, the horses, camels and water brought by the armies of the Western Regions countries have restored the spirit of the Han army, and the coalition army has traveled 50 miles a day, and after ten days, it has arrived at the outskirts of Wusun Kingdom, only 100 miles away from Bosten Lake.
The next day, Wei Qing did not give the order to continue to advance, but ordered the whole army to rest, they are now in the absolute majority in numbers, and they have defeated the Wusun army, which can be said to have taken the advantage, so Wei Qing is not in a hurry to attack, but let the army rest well and attack in the best condition.
The ten-day march did make the coalition soldiers feel tired, so this rare day of rest was ordered, and for a while there was a thunderous cheer, and all the soldiers arranged their own rest.
Wei Qing did not rest, he handed over the command to Bai Buxin, and he left the camp with dozens of guards, he wanted to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.
After going forward for several miles, I still didn't see the Bosten Lake that is as big as the sea in the legend, but in front of it, there is a hill that rises abruptly, this hill is not very high, if it is placed in the Central Plains, it is not a mountain at all, it can only be regarded as a small stone pile, but the mountain range of this hill is not short, it stretches for more than ten miles left and right, the depth does not know how far, and there are miles of distance as far as the eye can see.
Wei Qing looked at the mountain, and saw that although the mountain was not high, it was all formed by stones, the mountain was tortuous, the shape was very peculiar, and two boulders stood up, and there was a stone crack in the middle of the boulder that only allowed one person to enter and exit.
"Let's go in and have a look!" Wei Qing said, without waiting for the guards to object, he got off the camel and stepped in.
As soon as I entered the crack in the rock, I saw that the cliffs on both sides were towering, and there was only a path in the middle, which was very narrow, and the higher you went, the narrower it became, and the day was almost lost at the top.
Wei Qing walked forward, intending to take a look at the strange structure of the mountain.
The interior of this mountain is like a stone cracked from it, there are several gaps, each gap is a small passage, but most of the passages are very narrow, people can't enter at all, and the only one that can accommodate people is the gap that Wei Qing is walking now.
Turning around, Wei Qing walked along the path for a while, turned a mountain rock, Wei Qing suddenly stopped, and the guards behind him were caught off guard and almost hit Wei Qing's body.
Wei Qing stepped aside and said to the guards behind him, "Come in and grab him!" ”
The guards heard that Wei Qing's words were wrong, what did it mean to "arrest him", who was this "he", it was obvious that there were not only them in this mountain, but there were other people, and the guards hurriedly rushed forward.
It turned out that there was a large space in front of it, which looked like a big hole, and in the cave, a soldier dressed in the uniform of the Wusun Army sat on the ground, surrounded by packages, food, weapons and other things.
The two guards rushed forward to arrest the Wusun soldier, but the soldier did not resist at all, and still sat still.
"General, he's dead!" One of the guards shouted.
"Not yet!" Another guard probed the soldier's snort and hurriedly corrected: "This person is still angry, but for some reason his whole body is stiff and motionless!" ”
Wei Qing frowned and said, "Let's carry him back to the camp and see what's going on!" ”
The guards did their best to carry the stiff Wusun soldier out of the mountains and carry him all the way back to the camp.
Wei Qing returned to the camp and urgently summoned Abri.
Abri hurried over, and when he saw the Wusun soldier, before Wei Qing could introduce the situation, he blurted out: "Zombie poison!" ”
"What's that?" Wei Qing was strange.
Abri replied, "This thing is a poison in this Wusun soldier, and this thing is an invention of the Wusun people, and if he is thrown into the water, if he drinks it, in a moment the man will be like the soldier now, and in a little while he will be ,,,,,! Abri didn't continue, but looked at the soldier.
Wei Qing also looked at the soldier, only to see that the soldier had stopped breathing for some time, his body and face were gradually blackening, and then the flesh was melting piece by piece, the scene was very strange and terrifying, and after a while, the soldier was only a skeleton.
Wei Qing couldn't help but shiver and asked Abri: "Will they use this thing to poison us?" ”
Abri smiled slightly: "This is difficult, this zombie poison is actually not an incomparably powerful poison, if this thing goes into the water for more than an hour, the toxicity will be self-resolved, and all countries in the Western Regions have a prescription for this poison, so although the Wusun people have this thing, it is just a business trip that sometimes poisons a poison, although your Han army does not have this antidote, we people from the Western Regions do, so you don't have to worry, not to mention any water source, as long as you wait for an hour before drinking, there will be no problem!" ”
Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
