Chapter 496 The spear is slanted to break the city, destroy the country and kill the king

How long can a fierce warrior survive in the midst of a fiery siege? The answer is, there is no definite answer. Maybe it's short, as short as a moth to a fire. Maybe long, long enough to escape!

Some people seem to have been blessed by God, and the chosen ones can't be killed no matter how they are killed. But some people, since they have chosen to oppose the king's teacher, then the end of the ashes may have been doomed.

It's a pity that the army led by Prince Xiqiang is the same as his country, and the end can only be the latter.

It is generally accepted that it is not an easy task to set up an ambush in such a wide and gentle canyon.

The golden drums sounded in unison, and the ambushes were everywhere, surrounding and annihilating the lured enemy, which seemed very simple to say, but in practice, it was impossible to succeed about ten times. But any such famous example must be done by a famous general, and I don't know how much planning and preparation has been gone through behind the scenes to achieve success in one fell swoop.

Such a war of annihilation requires the restraint of several conditions, all of which are indispensable, so it is extremely rare.

There is no shortage of generals in the Xiqiang army who can fight habitually. And even Prince Xiqiang himself, although young, is already a figure who has experienced several major battlefields. It is true that he is unruly, but in the fight against the enemy, he is experienced and will not be fooled easily.

In fact, in the process of pursuing just now, the Xiqiang people would never believe that the Han army would set up an ambush here. Let me ask, under such geographical conditions, do they have so many superior forces? The Central Plains Art of War has a cloud of "ten times the encirclement", that is to say, there is no ten times eight times the force, and if you want to use the means of ambush to fight, it can only be self-defeating!

However, the Xiqiang people who are brave and bold in pursuit, they don't know that the so-called most powerful army in the world not only refers to its combat bravery, but the most important thing is that they are equipped with various killer weapons to defeat the enemy!

"The lives of our Han people are precious. Whether it's you, me, or him, none of us can afford to sacrifice lightly. You must remember that the purpose of every war is not to fight bravely and kill, let alone to send to death, but to live a better ...... after victory! ”

In those days on Changle Plateau, almost every cavalryman of the Red Fire Army had heard the young marquis explain such a truth. There is nothing esoteric about these words, and everyone can understand what they mean.

The heroic martyrdom of 3,000 comrades was the heaviest loss suffered by the Red Fire Army since its expedition. It is the unbearable pain of their Lord's proud heart. Therefore, no matter how cruel the enemy's methods are, he has never had the slightest compassion.

When the flames began to soar into the air and there was a ghost crying wolf under his feet, the hussar general who personally commanded all this had a cold face, and he just watched the battle from beginning to end, and did not say a word more. The wind whipped up the robes and hunted, and thousands of vengeful rockets flew like meteors, covering the entire canyon.

The Xiqiang Army never thought that the rattan armor shield, which they had always relied on to protect their bodies, would become an accomplice in burning their own lives at this moment!

Once the rattan armor has been soaked in grease and becomes more flexible and strong, once it is shot or ignited by a rocket, it will immediately burst into flames, and it will be attached to the body and burn, and there is no way to get rid of it.

How can a fragile life withstand the test of fire? Almost immediately, the Xiqiang army, which rushed to the front and fell into the barbed wire and thistle array preset by the Red Fire Army, all became fire men.

Neither a man nor a horse will be spared the indiscriminate blows of the nine-armed chain crossbow. The cavalry of the Xiqiang Army, covered in fire, screamed in pain and rolled and ran, then fell to the ground and died, and continued to burn until it was completely ...... gone. And those white horses of the divine horses are also on fire, and when there is no way out, the final outcome can only be the same as their masters, turning into ashes.

Prince Xiqiang was so frightened that he wanted to escape under the protection of a group of henchmen. However, the two ends of the canyon have long been blocked by death. Rushing out forcibly can only die faster. After trying this a few times, he finally despaired as more and more people died.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the aristocratic general Xiqiang fleeing back and forth in the canyon, Huo Quzhi reached out and took the strong bow handed over by his general, and shot an arrow at will. He couldn't dodge, screamed in terror, was pierced by an arrow through his throat, fell off his horse on his back, and was engulfed in flames.

After receiving a few rounds of blows, the Xiqiang army had already been disheartened and fled for their lives, and now that the prince is dead again, where is there still a little bit of resistance! Some people look for places to hide, trying to escape the rockets for a while before trying to find a way to escape. And more of them saw that the opportunity was not good, and it was important to save their lives, and a large number of Xiqiang cavalry jumped off their horses and prostrate on the ground, shouting and surrendering for their lives!

The fire borrows the wind, and it is very terrifying. As long as the Xiqiang army is stained with Mars, there is almost no way to survive. In this case, perhaps only by surrendering and asking the Han army to open the net to make way for the passage can he save his last life.

Seeing that the Xiqiang cavalry, which was still fierce and fierce a moment ago, turned into a wriggling fireball, and the people and horses were burned, its tragic state made the hands of some Han soldiers tremble.

However, when several generals looked up at the hussar general's expression, they didn't even need to step forward to ask for anything, and directly gave the final orders to their respective subordinates.

"Kill! Whoever surrenders or not, there will be no forgiveness! ”

No one said a word, and the rest of the time was nothing but silent slaughter. This is the mission of their soldiers, and it is also their contribution to the majesty of the Han Empire. The strongest man in the world, only my great man! Those who dare to invade and hurt the subjects of the Han will be punished from afar! Since then, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die!

The slaughter of the Xiqiang Seven Thousand White Horse Vine Armor Army was only the first step they took to temper the iron-blooded spirit. A few years later, among the most famous armies of the Han Dynasty, the only one known for its iron-blooded loyalty was the Red Fire Army!

An hour later, the ambush in the canyon ended. In this battle, the Red Fire Army sent the Xiqiang Brigade, which was equal in number to itself, into the Burning Hell without injuring a single soldier, which can be described as the most perfect battle.

When the wind rises, the fire is easily and rarely quelled. And when it burns out and gradually extinguishes, I don't know if the bones of the people and horses of the Xiqiang Army can be recovered!

"Hussar general, the last general and other instructions to order, the army is stopped, where should I go?"

After the three armies regrouped, outside the valley mouth, led by Zhang Qian, the generals and colonels leaned down to ask for their lives. The fire behind him, the scorching people are hot, the blood is churning in his heart, even if the next battle is full of difficulties and dangers, no one is afraid of half a point!

"General Zhang, how much grain and grass are there in the army?" Hussar General Huo Qubing only asked this sentence.

"No more. Before the Great War, we ate our last meal. ”

Zhang Qian's voice was low and his face was grim. This is a problem that must be solved immediately, and it is related to the life and death of the Red Fire Army, and it is the top priority facing the current situation.

"Well, in that case, pass me the order! The army immediately set off and went straight to the Xiqiang royal city. Storm the city with all your might, and the celebration banquet in the army will be held in the palace tonight! ”

Huo Quai's words were gone, he flicked his robe, flew on his horse, rode first, and galloped down the sand dunes. Generals Zhang Qian, Li Wang, and Zhang Jisan did not hesitate at all, and followed closely behind, and behind them, thousands of horses and horses roared, like a big wave and snow tide, and the momentum of the rise, even the goshawk vulture in the sky flew far away, and did not dare to plunder its edge.

The Western Qiang Kingdom, known as the stronger of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, relied on nothing more than those fierce cavalry warriors in the country. King Xiqiang did not expect that one day when he woke up, all the warriors would be wiped out, and his dynasty would be trampled to powder with the trampling of horses' hooves from the east.

The walls of the Xiqiang King City were very high, and its gates were very thick. However, when the smoke and dust raised by thousands of war horses obscured the day, and the Han cavalry approached the city with invincible momentum and approached the edge of the trench, all this became meaningless.

Only two or three hundred guards around King Xiqiang are left to defend the royal city, how long can it stop the Red Fire Army? It turned out that they did not hold out even for a quarter of an hour.

After the cavalry of the Red Fire Army galloped to the bottom of the city, they only fired a volley before shooting the people on the city. I don't know if I escaped or died, but all that was left was the bare walls and empty gates.

King Xiqiang, whose hair was already a little gray, sat sadly on the main hall of the palace, staring viciously at the Han army that had completely controlled all parts of the palace. These invaders from the Far East, they slaughtered all the warriors of the Western Qiang, killed their own princes, and it is said that the subjects who dared to resist outside have been slaughtered by them. So fierce, so cruel and ruthless, when did the people of the Han Dynasty become so terrible!?

The king did not choose to surrender, he stood up, and wanted to give an impassioned rebuke to these invaders. It's just that he didn't get this opportunity, and a very handsome general casually pulled out his sword and cut off his head.

The Red Fire Sword did not stain any blood after killing people, and the blood droplets were like pearls on the steps of the palace hall. All the subjects of Xiqiang were silent, and they fell to the ground deeply. The kings of the world, in front of the heroes of the heavens, are just like slaughtering pigs and dogs!

Huo Qubing took away the seal of the King of Xiqiang, and up to now, the seal of the King of the Western Regions has collected eight pieces. The latest royal seal, like those royal seals, was casually thrown into the leather bag behind the horse, as casually as a new toy picked up.

When the hussar general walked out of the palace, someone attacked her among the Xiqiang people who were prostrating themselves on the ground. There were a total of five or six people who came, all of whom were superb in martial arts. In the chaos, several Red Fire Army warriors sacrificed their lives to protect the general, and Huo Quai's left chest was hit by a tungsten steel flying knife.

However, the knife did not hurt her in the slightest. After removing the armor, stroking the golden silk armor that Yuan Zhao told him to wear, some people had a faint sadness in their hearts, and they missed it deeply.
