Chapter 1298: The Avenger
……
The royal city of Great Xia was occupied, the king was killed, the whole Great Xia was in chaos, countless refugees flocked to the south and the west to rest, hundreds of thousands of people were surging like a tide, so that several states in the northwest were like great enemies, and they all set up troops to block the refugees at the border, and at the same time, after learning that Great Xia had been destroyed by an enemy of unknown origin, they were all nervous.
When Li Shun's envoy went to the south, Mao Dun, who had made the first contribution to the capture of Great Xia, was now like a frightened bird, fleeing back to Gaofu City, which was 500 miles away from Shaqi City, with the remnants of less than 300 people.
At this time, stationed in Gaofu City was a small tribe of the original Yue clan, with no more than three thousand people, and now it has been assigned to Maodun, the commander of the Dumi King.
A month ago, after the Da Yue clan conquered the city of Dawan and quickly evacuated, Mao Dun and King Xiu Mi led an army of 8,000 to attack Daxia first, but the result was not as expected by Mao Dun, Da Xia's armament was not strong and the combat effectiveness was not high, and it had never had the experience of fighting with the nomads, and it collapsed in an instant.
In particular, the Xiongnu, Yueshi and Wusun, these nomadic peoples are very barbaric and ferocious, slaughtering cities and killing people at every turn, all enemy soldiers never leave any alive, under the spread of the fierce name, the Great Xia Kingdom from top to bottom are all extremely frightened and afraid, and the will to resist is not strong, so the Maodun army is like a bamboo in less than a month to conquer most of the Great Xia Kingdom, and then the Dayue tribe escorted by Bi Kun also came to Daxia, stationed in the royal city of Lan City officially called the country, named Da Yue, and according to the size of the merit divided into five marquis.
And Bi Kun did not break his promise, not only named Mao Dun as the king of Dumi, but also assigned a total of 30,000 people to the Yue clan, Wusun and more than ten tribes who came to conquer and plunder all the way to the commander of Mao Dun, and divided his fief in the southern border close to the poison, and Mao Dun in order to expand his territory, after breaking through the high annex city, he reorganized the subordinate tribes who fought with each other for money and territory, and after they were all settled, he personally led 3,000 elites to attack Shaqi City.
Shaqi City is already the southernmost border city of the Great Xia Kingdom, bordering on Shenzhi and Anxi, surrounded by vast rivers and plains, agriculture is very developed, and Mao Dun, who has now occupied an area, also knows that from now on, he must get rid of the habits of the nomads in the past and start to live this settled life in the city, so he also knows that it is very necessary to occupy a place like Shaqi City.
But what he never expected was that the usual invincible rapid sneak attack tactics did not succeed this time, and he also ran into the Great Qin army that frightened all the Yue's people and Wusun people to the bones, and the sudden four earth-shaking loud noises, he still didn't understand what it was, because he had already rushed through the explosion area when it exploded, and the people behind him turned over on his back and he just glanced back, and then he was completely stunned by the manic war horse and the rushing Daqin forbidden army in a row.
From beginning to end, it took less than two minutes for Mao Dun to flee from the attack, and when he escaped dozens of miles away and slowly gathered the scattered soldiers and fled back to Gaofu City, he was still confused along the way.
"Your Majesty, this ...... What's going on? ”
The tribal leaders stationed in the high annex city looked at Mao Dun, who had fled back with his cloak covered in blood, and more than 300 frightened warriors, and his face was terrified.
In his mind, Mao Dun has never lost a battle along the way, and he is almost the most capable and murderous guy in the Dayue clan.
But there were only three thousand people left, and almost all of them were wounded and their faces were pale, and Maudun even had an arm wounded, and the strips of cloth that were tied up had long been soaked in blood and turned black.
"Don't say it, Shaqi City actually met the Qin army!" Mao Dun didn't have time to treat his injuries, but sat on the big chair in the City Lord's Mansion and said dejectedly.
"Qin Jun, how is it possible? We came from the east, and we have never seen the Qin army, and here is 20,000 miles away from Great Qin! The leader of the small clan of the Yue Clan shook his head in horror.
"It's indeed the Great Qin people, it's not wrong, they also have a weapon that can make a loud noise, it's very terrifying, like a thunderbolt in the sky......"
"Taiyi Divine Thunder?" Before Maudun could finish speaking, the clan leader couldn't help but exclaim.
"Do you know what kind of weapon it is?" Maudun was overjoyed.
"I know, I know, the kind of thing that can make a loud noise, the Great Qin people call it Taiyi Divine Thunder, it is no longer a secret, I heard that it is a kind of immortal weapon made by their Zuo Xiang Qinghehou, and after throwing it, it can trigger the heavenly thunder to come, and there are no bones in a radius of 100 zhang, and the original ...... At the beginning, King Tunan ...... Not long ago, the Yue Clan's envoy who attacked Great Qin had encountered it, and it was very terrifying......"
"Hey, what you said seems to have been heard before, I always thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be very terrifying, this time the losses are heavy, it seems that Shaqi City can't be attacked for the time being, by the way, arrange someone to find someone to inquire, how can there be Great Qin people in the territory of Great Xia!"
Mao Dun was frightened at this time, and decided to figure out the details of this Great Qin people before making plans, he only had a total of 30,000 descendant tribes, and the warriors were only six or seven thousand, and now he occupied more than ten cities, large and small, and only 3,000 people could be mobilized around him when he was scattered.
And this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Great Moon Clan has just established a country, the Great Moon Clan King Bi Kun has divided the five princes, for their own interests, these princes are still competing with each other for territory and population, because in order to capture the Great Xia as soon as possible, they slaughtered the people of the Great Xia Kingdom very badly, so they forced a large number of Great Xia civilians to flee to the two countries of rest and poison, and now the Great Moon Clan is not strong enough to challenge these two large countries with a population of tens of millions at the same time, the King of the Great Moon Clan ordered all tribes to restrain the tribes, Don't cross the border to chase and kill the civilians of the Great Xia Kingdom, which also led to the fact that the population of the Great Xia Kingdom captured by several Hou Hou was not large, and most of the adult men were killed, leaving behind women, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
Soon after Mao Dun fled back to Gao Fu City, his subordinates also heard the news that in the winter of last year, there was a Great Qin delegation that arrived in Great Xia, and then went to rest in peace, the number of people was about two hundred, this news made Mao Dun relax and angry at the same time.
With only 200 people, he beat his 3,000 elite soldiers to the ground, which was a great shame, but in view of the power of Taiyi Shenlei, he did not dare to provoke again, so he could only temporarily rest and recuperate and heal, and after the injury was healed, he would raise troops to expand south.
His ambition is very strong, and it is definitely not as simple as being a marquis of the Otsuki clan, and now that he has such a rich and peaceful environment, it is a good time for him to show his talents.
However, at the moment, the unity of the Great Moon Clan is still very important, after all, it is the foundation on which he grows, so Mao Dun quickly sent the news that the Great Qin delegation was staying in Shaqi City to the Lan Clan City to tell Bi Kun, the king of the Great Moon Clan.
In the following time, the king of the Dayue clan continued to issue various orders, and with the help of a group of vassals and staff, he began to imitate the rule of Daqin, prepare for the establishment of the imperial court, appoint officials, and use all the Daxia people as slaves to be responsible for farming and weaving, and all the clansmen became nobles and began to live in dispersion.
The sudden capture of Great Xia by the Great Yue Clan made the neighbors rest in peace in the two western provinces and the poisonous northwest states felt as if they were facing a great enemy, and constantly arranged soldiers to monitor and spread the news to their own royal cities, and this sudden news also caused turmoil in the entire Central Asian region.
At the end of May, just when Great Xia gradually quieted down, a plague suddenly broke out among tens of thousands of refugees from the Great Xia Kingdom gathered on the border of Great Xia.
Fu Lou Sha was not strong, only a few thousand troops, in the face of the sudden riot of the refugees of the Great Xia Kingdom and the continuous influx of refugees who received the news, Fu Lou Sha was lost in less than ten days, Fu Lou Sha had to flee to Bangerad with his family and some nobles to ask for refuge.
As a result, although the royal city of Great Xia fell, the people of Great Xia did not all surrender, and soon many nobles, including Shaqi City, also began to unite, organize civilians to train the army, and build stirrups and saddles modeled after the Yue people to recapture the capital of Great Xia and avenge the king.
The fall of Fulousha also seemed to have given the refugees of the Great Xia Kingdom a new hope, and soon launched another attack on Gandhara, another state in the northwest, which was poisonous, and soon the Gandhara also fell into the hands of the Bactrian people, and with these two territories with abundant water and fertile soil, hundreds of thousands of refugees in Bactria gradually settled down and re-elected a King of Great Xia, so that the nest of the bird and the dove began to live a new life.
It's the end of June.
And just when the Great Moon Clan, Great Xia, and the Northwest Border of the Body Poison began to calm down, a mighty army came from the Rest King City, traveled nearly three thousand miles, and after a short stay in Mulu City, the capital of the eastern province of Marchiana, it replenished thousands of troops again and then went straight to the Great Moon Clan.
At the head of this great army was King Antiochus III of the Sabbath Empire.
At the end of April, an urgent letter was sent from Mulu City to the capital city of Apamea, and Antiochus III was so angry when he saw this letter that he smashed a crystal glass again, and after calming down, he cried for half the night with the slags of water glass all over the floor.
The elite of the three thousand royal cities he sent out searched and pursued the Great Qin delegation all the way, not only did the Mao of the Great Qin mission not catch it, but when they went to the Great Wan Royal City to inquire about the situation, they were killed by a beggar race of inexplicable origin, and the three thousand elites only escaped more than five hundred people.
The escaped generals fled to Mulu City with the remnants of the defeated generals to ask for help, and at the same time sent the news to Antiochus III.
Therefore, Antiochus III decided to personally come for revenge.
The Great Qin Mission abducted his fiancée, and the elite of the royal city sent by him was still beaten by an inexplicable enemy, and his nose and face were swollen, if he didn't take revenge, he was afraid that it would become a joke to rest in the hot land of Central Asia and West Asia.
