It didn't take long for King Hugh Tu to learn what he wanted to know. After listening to the scout's detailed report, he almost broke out of his anger.

According to Pang Xin, the Han general who surrendered, the Han army general who came this time was just a little-known person! With 7,000 men and horses, dare to be so rampant? In this land of the Western Regions, within the common sphere of influence of the King of Taxiu Tu and the King of Hun Evil, he swaggered all the way to this point. It's not enough to conquer many Fanguo along the way, and now the old friend of the Huns, King Xiqiang, has been destroyed!

If Li Guang or Yuan Zhao, who had always been feared by the Huns, or Wei Qing of the Black Eagle Army, came in person, King Hutu might also pay attention to it. But such an unheard army is so arrogant all the way. It's just bearable, it's unbearable! If these Han troops who went deep into the Western Regions were not completely wiped out and made it difficult for them to return, then what face would the Huns have to claim to be the rulers of this land?

In particular, I heard the news that the countries that the Han army passed through along the way had plundered a lot of wealth, and now they are all concentrated in the Xiqiang Wangcheng, and it is planned to use this place as a temporary stronghold, and wait for the rear army to come back to the Han Dynasty. Such news made his heart move.

Compared to the elimination of the Han army, the temptation of wealth is even more important. It would be the best of both worlds if we could wipe out the Han army and pocket the wealth, and then formally bring these already chaotic countries under the iron hoof.

Therefore, King Hutu made up his mind, and immediately summoned all the people above the commander to the big tent to discuss. Sure enough, after hearing about it, the proud soldiers and fierce generals under his command were all enthusiastic and immediately decided to send troops.

The Han army is only seven thousand, and it is easy to swallow it in one bite! Such a good thing naturally cannot be given to the evil king, and it must be expensive and fast. Otherwise, if the Evil King who outflanked the Han army in a roundabout way also rushed over, then there would be more wolves and less meat, and it would be difficult to divide them!

With a difference of nearly ten times the strength of the two sides, it seems that the victory or defeat will be obvious without waiting for the battle. If it weren't for the Shan Yu Khan's soldiers and horses outside the Yanmen Pass, King Hugh Tu would not have moved the people so much. Now it's just to deal with the Han army in front of you, killing chickens and slaughtering cows!

King Hutu gave an order, and there was no need to divide the left and right wings, and the army directly advanced, and with a momentum that crushed everything, within the scope of this flat area of hundreds of miles, it came to the Xiqiang King City in a fan shape.

More than 60,000 cavalry were dispatched, which was not trivial. The Hun cavalry, in particular, was known for its ferocity. All the people who are close to the countries of the Western Regions have learned their power. Therefore, where the army passed, not even a single ghost shadow could be seen in those who had already fled.

The cavalry marched very fast, and through the smoke and dust that rushed straight into the sky, as far as the eye could see, the Xiongnu generals at the front could already see the tall walls of the Xiqiang royal city.

The Huns are feeling a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the Han army can't be ignorant of such a big movement of thousands of horses, right? But it's almost to the royal city, not to mention that the shadow of the Han cavalry has not been seen, and even the Han army scouts have not seen a single one. Could it be that they have already fled in a hurry when they saw that the situation was not good?

Their worries, though, are somewhat unfounded. Suddenly, a Han army of about a few hundred people came out of the oblique stab, and the war horses ran fast, dozens of feet away, and began to fire crossbow arrows, causing certain casualties to the Hun cavalry.

The Hun general was furious, and ordered to speed up the pursuit while firing his bow and arrows. Just a few hundred people dare to plunder and kill people, this is really too deceitful! We must kill them all today.

It's just that what makes the Huns feel depressed is that the sudden appearance of the Han army team has obviously calculated the distance between each other. The Han army's nine-armed chain crossbows could shoot them, but the Huns' bows and arrows did not have such a long range. I had to watch the hundreds of people kill people and run away.

That's angry! Without waiting for the order of King Hutu in the back, the Hun commander who rushed to the front led his warriors to chase them directly in the direction of their escape into the royal city.

In the course of this pursuit, the same attack occurred several times. I don't know what the purpose of these Han troops is, they always appear suddenly, and then after killing and wounding the Hun cavalry with crossbow arrows from afar, they flee as fast as they can, neither in love with war, nor entangled.

Did the Han army really think that with such a means, it could stop the advance of tens of thousands of elites of the Xiongnu? It's a joke! This is like a little praying mantis that can't help itself and wants to block the footsteps of the giant beast, and the final outcome must be trampled into meat sauce.

The people who had the same idea as the charging Hun Captain were not one or two, but all! Not to mention these Huns who have always been fierce and proud, even if it is Pang Xin, the general who is following the queen of Hutu at this moment, there is no sign of danger in his heart.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. Even if the Han army is brave and able to fight, what then? In the face of absolute strength, all small tricks are scum!

An army of 60,000 elite horsemen, like a sandstorm in the desert, swept across the ground, enough to engulf everything in front of them. No one doubted that if the 7,000 Han army had not had time to run far, then the royal city in front of them would be their burial place.

The prosperity or decline of a city sometimes takes many years, and it is a gradual process. But at some point, it only takes half a day's work, and what decides its fate is a simple command that is gently spat out of the general's mouth.

Unfortunately, the history of Xiqiang Wangcheng has come to an end, and its fateful ending may be today. From then on, when the name of the city reappeared, it could only be in the history books, in the glorious annals of the Han War. It will serve as a marker that marks the beginning of the most intense part of a great battle from this moment.

The weather is gloomy, thousands of miles flat desert. The second decisive battle between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, that is, the Battle of Hexi, the most classic battle, officially began!

As they got closer and closer to the royal city, the invasion of the Han army finally stopped, and they all fled into the city in disarray as far as the Hun cavalry could see. Its haste is ridiculous. Perhaps frightened by the overwhelming momentum of the Hun cavalry, the Han army behind the cover did not even close the city gate, so they fled for their lives regardless of it.

The custom of the Huns was that before the siege of the city, after the horses galloped into range, they would fire a salvo at the enemy. The two 10,000 teams that charged at the front, under the leadership of their respective captains, drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows were clustered like a forest, but they did not shoot the arrows in their hands.

It's not that they don't want to shoot, it's not that they don't have the strength to shoot, it's just that there's no need for it anymore. The city was already bare, the people had disappeared, not even the drawbridge over the moat, and the heavy city gates were open, not to mention. It is obvious that the Han army that retreated into the city did not stop at all, but directly passed through the city and fled from the other side.

The commander who led the charge sneered disdainfully, put away his bow and arrows on his horse, brandished his scimitar again, and without even hesitating, he stepped directly across the moat and rode into the city. The subordinates who followed him crushed the horses, and the hooves thundered. Now the only hope in their hearts is that the Han army will not run too fast, hoping to catch up, and then kill for a while, so as not to be in vain this rush.

The Hun cavalry, who were the first to step into the royal city, did not stop at all, they directly pursued in the direction of the opposite city gate, and the Han army should not have fled far. It is important to chase the enemy first, and the affairs in the city will naturally be dealt with by the king of Hugh Tu later.

Although the walls of the Xiqiang King City were built very strong and tall, the entire city did not occupy too much area. If you put it in the interior of the Central Plains, it is the scale of a small and medium-sized city. However, compared to the cities of the Western Regions, they are already one of the few majestic cities.

The Xiqiang Kingdom is a country known for its strong combat power, so the Xiqiang kings of the past dynasties attached great importance to war preparation. It took a lot of effort to build the royal city, not to mention the height and depth of the city walls, but a few thick city gates, on which were specially added the broken dragon stone made of huge rocks, once it fell and closed due to an emergency, it was extremely difficult to open.

Such an insurance measure was originally the last preparation made by the king of Xiqiang in order to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies. It's just that he would never have thought that this mechanism, which the Xiqiang people did not use, would be perfectly used by the army from the Han Dynasty one day later, and become a deadly barrier that the Huns could not surpass!

The Hun cavalry was agile and well-trained when it came to raiding and plundering cities. Countless horses poured into the city, and except for the vanguards, who continued the pursuit, the rest began to disperse along the various places, led by the centurions and centurions, to occupy and search for some important places.

Strangely, though, there was no shadow of anyone in the city. Not only can there be no trace of the Han army, but even the Xiqiang people who live here cannot see a single one. This situation is very abnormal, could it be that all the people in the royal city were killed by the Han army?

And the whole city seems to be relatively chaotic, this was originally a crowded city, and now the Huns see in their eyes, everywhere is chaotic and a sign of escape, which is a little difficult to understand, I don't know what happened before.

However, the Hun cavalry continued to enter the city, and when King Hutu also rode to the moat surrounded by a hundred guards, more than half of the subordinates who entered the royal city had already entered.

Under the desolate sky of the Western Regions, the head of the high Xiqiang King City, whether it was in the city or outside the city, the Huns, but they didn't have time to discover for a while, there was a battle flag of the Han Dynasty, I don't know when it had quietly risen on the front tower that was originally empty. Facing the wind, mighty and domineering!
