Chapter 1624: An Empire Not to Be Underestimated
Of course, the premise is that the opponent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry should not be a commander of the same level as Guo Yan, or even a level higher, as for the others, as long as Guo Yan makes a move, all the Iron Cavalry will make a move, so it doesn't matter whether the notice is notified or not.

"That's true." Guo Yan touched his chin and said, he broke out, a single crossbow, give a shot first, within ten steps, not to mention fatal, I am afraid that even if the ordinary internal qi is not careful, it will be seriously injured, and then the whole army will be crushed by Kaiyun Qi and absolutely hacked to death.
"But for the sake of a feeling, I will compromise my brother's ......," Fan Chou said with a slight hesitation.
"No, do you remember where we sent Daqin's envoys?" Li Wei looked at Fan Chou speechlessly and said, relatively speaking, the three of them have better brains.
"......" Fan Chou thought about it and suddenly understood, even if they didn't say that there was a Great Qin envoy to the Han Empire, it was estimated that Guishuang himself would know, and this group of bastards was completely different from the group of guys in Great Qin, they could understand Chinese.
In this way, as long as Guishuang and the group asked the Son of Heaven where the envoy group of Great Qin was, it would become a pit in an instant, and it was estimated that it would soon be able to verify Liu Bei.
In that case, let Liu Bei deal with himself, the envoys of foreign countries do not worship the Son of Heaven, but worship the princes, you say that you don't have an objection, who believes it, this is completely a matter of common sense.
"None of them will be left." A touch of coldness crossed Fan Chou's eyes, and he made a killing move.
"Absolutely." Guo Yan said with a sneer, and Li Wei nodded, because the problem of his identity must not be sent to the Guishan envoys, so he can only rely on Guo Yan to solve it.
Idai quickly handed over the props that could be used to make the call to Li Dao's ten people, this kind of thing that was somewhat like a relic, as long as it was absorbed with internal qi, it could understand most languages.
Of course, since it is not used by his heart, there is a certain possibility of error, but it is generally a very good prop, and the Kushan Empire can produce 1,800 per year.
After that, it looked like the guests and hosts were happy, Li Dao was always majestic and domineering, and the Guishan envoys got used to it after a long time, and when Yi Dai and the others left, Guo Yan didn't say anything and escorted the group with a thousand people.
No one in the Guishan envoy group had any suspicions, and then after sending out thirty miles, Guo Yan made a decisive move, and the super elasticity of the characteristics required a master of force like Guo Yan to go all out to wind up the super single-arrow crossbow successfully, and the back of the chief guard of the envoy group was crossed.
The unsuspecting chief of the Kushan envoy corps was shot from almost zero distance to the back of the chest under the near-zero distance of such a powerful single crossbow, and the heart disappeared directly under this blow.
The chief of the guard of the envoy group, who suddenly suffered a fatal blow, looked at Guo Yan with a cruel smile in disbelief, and swept towards Guo Yan with all his might, and the fierce force had the meaning of sweeping Guo Yan into two sections.
"Hey!" Guo Yan sneered and held the gun in both hands, and threw it at the other party in the opposite direction, the two guns suddenly exchanged fires, Guo Yan was swept off the war horse by the huge force, but the head of the envoy corps guard who had been discouraged had been completely killed.
The huge power of the single powerful crossbow, after penetrating the body of an internal qi detached from the body, the inexhaustible strong crossbow bolt directly shot the three envoys in front of him.
With the sound of this crossbow, as well as the loud sound of the spear exchange between Guo Yan and the envoy guards, the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were like a conditioned reflex, and they all suddenly took out their crossbows and shot towards the front, just one wave, killing one-fifth of the envoy group.
"Destroy them!" After a blow to his hand, Guo Yan, who had fallen off the horse, didn't care about the tightness in his chest and numbness at all, and immediately rushed out of the center of the Guishan envoy group and joined the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and then began to kill the Guishan envoy group in a big way.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also roared, like fierce tigers, and rushed into the Guishan envoy group regardless of it, and as the Guishan Guard Chief expected, the elite of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry only needed one sudden attack to defeat them.
After losing the commander of the guard, the Guishan guard, who was originally not enough to deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, began to collapse in a few breaths after Guo Yan led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to start charging.
Wen Chen, who was an envoy in the Kushan envoys, didn't understand what was going on at all, and the spear of the Xiliang Iron Rider pierced their bodies from the back.
"Why attack us!" Yi Dai looked at Guo Yan, who had been talking happily before, and shouted with tears in his eyes, not understanding why this was the case at all.
"You'll find out if you die!" Guo Yan stabbed Idai in the head with a single shot, and the high-speed carbine turned Idai into a rotten watermelon that lost his head in an instant.
After a charge, the entire envoy group was almost wiped out, leaving only a dozen lucky people in the field, and the Guishan envoy standing in the middle of the battlefield trembled and looked at the scene in front of him, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Don't leave a single mouth alive, make up a shot whether you are dead or not, and then gather the corpses." Guo Yan turned his horse's head, flicked his spear and gave a new order.
Guo Yan, who was a horse thief back then, was not unfamiliar at all, and because he had more battlefield experience, he was even more ruthless when he returned to his old business.
After making up a shot on each corpse, then dragging it together, making sure that there was no omission, and searching carefully to ensure that any valuables were in his hands, Guo Yan took the lead in pouring the tung oil in the water bag.
Pouring the tung oil in the water bag on top of these corpses, Guo Yan casually blew the fire fold stored in the bamboo tube, and quickly ignited the tung oil with the hay gathered together by the soldiers, and then everything was burned.
Half an hour, after burning this place to the ground, Guo Yan took the lead and began to gallop on it, and then the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also galloped on it, and after completely stepping on this place and completely unable to see it, Guo Yan turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him.
Except for the only two unlucky ones who were killed by arrows, the others were slightly injured at most, Guo Yan roared angrily, "Individuals take their personal loot, from tomorrow we will suppress bandits in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, see one and kill another!" ”
As for the Kushan envoys, who knows, maybe they were blown away by the storm in the desert, maybe they were hacked to death by horse bandits, anyway, everyone saw it, and the captain of Wuji under our Western Regions Protectorate hit it off with them, and sent them thirty miles before coming back.
From that day on, Wuji Lieutenant Li Dao began to lead 3,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to frantically suppress bandits in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, as for the reason, it is rumored that Guo Yan sent Guishuang back that day and was ambushed by a group of 3,000 horse bandits, resulting in the loss of two people.
As for the facts, the nobles of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are not very clear, anyway, this rumor is not far away, in short, after that time, the bandits without a background were basically exterminated by Li Dao, and those with a background were also exterminated as long as they did not have time to transfer to the official army.
As for reasoning? Even Dawan and Wusun didn't have the courage to reason with Li Dao, although they had 50,000 soldiers and horses in their two countries, and there were also one or two internal qi out of the body, but if they really wanted to fight hard with the Han Dynasty, just looking at the elite of Li Dao's cavalry, they knew that they couldn't afford to provoke it.
Of course, Li Wei really didn't think that many of the bandits in the Western Regions that he had exterminated were the official bandit armies of the thirty-six countries, after all, the silk thing, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions were also drooling, they could grab points, intercept points, and do some business, if there was no danger, they didn't mind at all.
After all, in this era, silk is basically a universal hard currency, the Han Dynasty until the Ming and Qing dynasties are all hard currency, but the value is higher in the Western Regions, as for the Mediterranean, it is really a hard currency stronger than gold.
However, because the Han Dynasty, which produced silk, was too strong, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions really couldn't afford to provoke it, but all day long, watching silk that was more gold than gold passing in front of them, the thirty-six countries said that they were not moved, it was a liar, so there were so-called official bandits.
However, this time this group of bandits all suffered a disaster, as far as Li Dao opened the talent of the legion, the way to create an eggshell defense that absorbs attacks, the three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry who have already touched the offline line of the Army Soul Legion, as long as their faces are not so black that there are frequent accidents, the bandit army will not die at all.
Therefore, Li Dao crushed all the bandits of the thirty-six countries like a steamroller, and King Wusun watched Li Dao easily overturn the horse bandits twice as large as them on the royal city, and after no casualties, there was no idea of a showdown.
Different from other legion talents, although Li Dao's legion talent is extremely expensive, because it itself is a miracle created by Li Dao knocking on the invisible barrier, it is also a miracle born of Li Dao's will to reduce the casualties of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the battlefield.
Therefore, this guy's legion talent is directly exempt from attacks below a certain strength, and attacks above the lower limit of immunity will also be canceled out after breaking the eggshell defense, but these all cost the duration of Li Dao's legion talent.
To put it simply, Li Dao's legion talent is not exhausted, and the casualties of his legion will be reduced to a very unscientific level, and if the other party is a miscellaneous soldier, there will be a very terrible situation, and there will be zero casualties after the battle.
However, generally there will not be such a terrible situation, even if there are one or two fierce men in the miscellaneous soldiers, break the eggshell defense, and the remaining strength can also kill the Xiliang Iron Horse as long as it can break the strengthened equipment defense and strengthened physical defense that comes with the Xiliang Iron Horse.
However, unfortunately, this time it was the bow and horse bandits and the scimitar horse bandits in Central Asia who were famous for their high attack speed and low attack speed, and they were killed by Li Daoke, and they had a zero death rate, and the Wusun nobles in the royal city could not stand on their legs.
Naturally, all the careful thoughts of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions have been put away, and the captain Wuji who came this time not only has the background of the Han Empire, but also has a powerful and trembling headquarters.
In this way, Li Dao completely sat on the position of the emperor of the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and once again had the power to mobilize the troops of the 36 countries of the Western Regions as Ban Chao did back then.
Vesudeva I did not receive any news about the Han Empire at this time, but the news of the existence of Captain Wuji had already been transmitted.
As for fighting to the west, it seems that it is not possible to rest for a hundred years, but Vesudeva I felt that it was necessary to observe, and if the empire was not good, it would not be over for a while.
What's more, if you take a break, it means facing the sword of Rome, and to be honest, compared to the relatively moderate country of the Han Empire, the Kushan is more afraid of Rome from the west.
So if there is no need, Vesudeva I thinks it's better not to die, so he began to attack India steadily, anyway, several other directions either can't be beaten, or can't be beaten, so Vesudeva I buried his head in silently attacking India.
This is indeed a good choice for Guishan, it can be said that if it were not for the introduction of the previous purple void and the desire that arose after the growth of the Guishan Empire, I am afraid that Guishan would not have fallen to that level in the end.
But then again, the current civil strife has broken out in the country, and the Han Dynasty, which has been fighting warlords for more than ten years, is a big fat piece in the eyes of any empire.
It's a pity that it wasn't until Guishan bit the Han Dynasty that he realized that some things that may not be true with the eyes are seen, and the rise and fall of the empire can only be verified by the victors and history.
Of course, there is still a long way to go before these things happen, especially since Li Dao has already wiped out the first wave of envoys, so that Vesudeva I will not be able to receive any accurate news from the Han Dynasty within a year.
From this point of view, Li Dao did indeed do a good thing, at least for nearly three years for the Central Plains to succeed, otherwise, in the current situation within the Han Empire, it is difficult for the Guishan, who has finished fighting India all the way eastward, to enter Sichuan and Shu from Burma.
At that time, even if Liu Bei could get the Central Plains within half a year, and no one in the Central Plains was a traitor, with the strength of a complete empire, it was estimated that half a year would be enough to fight in Chengdu, and at that time, even if Liu Zhang recommended Xuanyuan to defend Chengdu, it would not be able to change the fact that Sichuan and Shu were captured.
But is it possible, not to mention that no one in Sichuan and Shu is a traitor under such a big force, just an empire will attack with all its might, not from the northern Hanzhong, but from northern Myanmar.
The combat effectiveness of any empire is not something that Cao Sun can withstand, even if it is a super powerful prince of Liu Bei's level, it is not possible to defeat Guishan in ten years, and it is definitely a joke to not completely integrate the strength of the entire Han Dynasty.
For example, the situation that Gan Ning has encountered now, it is a very skinny reality, the Kushan Empire is rich and willful, and if you lose a thousand ships, you will lose a thousand ships!
No matter how high the level of Gan Ning's commander of the naval army is, there is a ghost use, although most of the 1,000 warships of Guishan are four or five generations of warships, but 200,000 sailors and 100,000 infantry will smash them!
It's not that the Han Dynasty can't get so many warships and navies, it's just that the country is divided, Liu Bei has high-tech technology, but there is not enough foundation to form an industrial scale, Sun Ce has an industrial scale, but there is no core technology.
If it is still a complete empire and has enough execution, not to mention that five or six hundred ships have been built in half a year like Guishan, but it is really necessary to build three or four hundred ships, and from the search and inventory from all over the country to transform the bottom of the ship, it is not impossible to get seven or eight hundred ships in the Han Dynasty.
As for the navy, the southern ships and the northern horses, forced conscription, do you really think that the Han Dynasty will not be able to produce hundreds of thousands of navies in most of the year? The potential of an entire empire cannot be underestimated at any time!
But it's a pity that a split is a split, and no matter how much you press it, you can't change this fact, so when she saw the endless fleet, Gan rather gave up the water village and ran away in shame.
However, the other party had already rushed more than ten miles away, and by the time Gan Ning started from the water village and pulled out all the naval fleets, the other party's fleet was already close to ten miles, and this distance basically meant that it was impossible to run away.
If you can't run away, you have to run, Gan Ning will use all the acceleration devices, and run forward desperately, but unfortunately the biggest advantage of the fourth and fifth generation ships is that the ship is small and light, and it runs fast, even if Gan Ning's ship is equipped with a lot of acceleration devices, it is difficult to get rid of the Kushan fleet.
As for the Kushan fleet, they didn't take the water village in Malacca seriously, although they thought it was their own at first, but it turned out that a long list of warships that were not their own came out, and they thought it was the abandoned water village of the warships sent out before.
As for being destroyed or something, the commander of the Kushan Empire didn't think about it at all, but when Gan Ning ran up, the Kushan Empire naturally wanted to stop it, not to mention destroying Gan Ning, at least to inquire about the situation of the previous Kushan fleet, so he caught up. (To be continued.) )
