Chapter 210: Encroachment
"General, the palace is where the power of the thorn Zim lies, this and this. ”
Cao Zhen said: "Our army will stay for five nights, and set off early in the morning of the sixth day, and ask the lord of the country to prepare 200,000 young men for our army." ”
Mo Duo Wicks wanted to say more, Cao Zhen glared at him and shouted: "Mo Duo Wicks, don't know each other." ”
Modowix thought twice about it, so he had to retreat. Cao Zhen entered the royal city, and saw that the treasury was not abundant, and said to Jiang Wei: "I wanted to make a lot of money, but I didn't expect Hua Thorn Zimo to be so poor. ”
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "As a subject country of Kushan, tribute is inevitable, and the treasury is not abundant, so it is inevitable. ”
Cao Zhen said: "Ordered Kangju and Dawan to loot the grain, grass, and valuable goods in the city, and wait until the flower thorn is young and strong, and the army will march to Mulu City." ”
Jiang Wei smiled and went to arrange it.
Cao Zhen's order made the soldiers of Kangju and Dawan rejoice, but they began to sack the city of Urtenqi with great energy, and the city was full of smoke and wailing. Modowix begged the generals of the two countries to lead the troops, the generals of the two countries, you push me, I push you, poor this new lord of the country with thorns in Zimo, ran and broke his legs on both sides, only to realize a truth, to ask Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen let people delay for a long time before letting Modowix meet, Modowix cried with an old face, and shouted sadly: "General, please give an order quickly to stop Kangju and Dawan's people." ”
Cao Zhen pretended to be surprised and said, "What's wrong with these two people? ”
"They are plundering the city, and if they resist the slightest resistance, they will kill our people. ”
"And such things, come on, let the generals of the two countries come to see me." Cao Zhen said loudly.
This time, another half an hour passed, and Modowix was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning in front of Cao Zhen, and when the generals of Kangju and Dawan arrived, Cao Zhen asked: "The lord of Modowix said: You soldiers of the two countries are wantonly plundering in the city, but there are any?" ”
Kangju General Puxiu said: "General Cao, according to the old practice of our country, I broke through the cities of other countries, and the soldiers plundered them at will for three days. ”
General Dawan Se Ming also said: "The same is true of my country's old practice. ”
Cao Zhen said: "Flower Thorn Zimo has surrendered, this Modowix is the new lord of the country, the two generals look at my thin face, and order the soldiers to stop." ”
Puxiu and Se Yang looked at each other, and only nodded for a long time and said, "Since General Cao has spoken, we will let the soldiers stop." ”
Modowix burst into tears of excitement, bowed to Cao Zhen and said, "Thank you, General Cao." ”
For most of the day, almost all the rich families in Urtench were patronized, and the goods were piled up in the barracks south of the city, which was also like a hill. Le De Puxiu and Se Yang couldn't close their mouths.
Cao Zhen saw it and said to the two people: "Take out half of it, reward the whole army, and let Modovix prepare the cart, and our grandmother's will be used as a military quartermaster." ”
On the sixth day, Cao Zhen frowned, looked at the flower thorns gathered outside Urtench City, and said to Modowix: "Lord of the country, why are you so young? Didn't you say a few days ago, 200,000 young and strong? ”
Modovix said with a sad face: "If there is no killing in the city for a day, 200,000 young people will not be a problem. ”
Cao Zhen asked, "How many young people are outside the city?" ”
"About 100,000," said Modowix. ”
Cao Zhen was furious, pointed at Modowix and said: "Modowix, I ordered General Se Yang to be stationed in Urtenki City, and after five days, I will organize another 100,000 young men and send them to Mulu City, if you can't do it, you, the lord of the country, don't have to do it." ”
Modowix has the heart to die, why is this Han general's appetite so big? After thinking about it, he finally sat on the throne of the country, but he lost it like this, and he was unwilling, so he had to say: "General Cao, I will do my best to organize another 100,000 young people." ”
Cao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and the lord of the country is really Junjie." As long as you cooperate well with General Se Ming, no one can take away the position of the lord of the country. ”
Modowix nodded his head like a chicken eating rice. Cao Zhen waved his hand, "Out!" ”
Kangju 20,000 horses at the head, behind is 100,000 young strong, behind is more than 20,000 Kangju soldiers driving the cart, by the way to supervise the young man of Hua Thorn Zimo. Cao Zhen rode on a horse and walked in the rear with 10,000 Han troops.
Seeing that the army was far away, Se Yang shook his spirits, assumed the posture of the boss, shouted at Modovix, and by the way, he got a lot of oil and water, and secretly sent his cronies to send the goods he had distributed to his home.
When Vesudeva I learned that his younger brother Pogu's army had been defeated, he sent 50,000 horses to aid Pogu, with his close general Manbdueu as his general.
Zhao Yun took 25,000 cavalry, crossed the Amu Darya River, sneaked to the rear of the army in the valley, calculated the time, and was one day away from the time agreed with Xiahoudun, so he let the horses lurk and rest, waiting for the time to come.
The 30,000 horses brought out by Xiahoudun suffered the most losses, and less than half of the soldiers who could fight.
The 50,000 horses in the valley were holding on to the Han army, and seeing that the other party was blocking the road and the army could not cross the river, he quietly sent someone to contact Zhu Falan and ordered him to lead a branch of men and horses to cross the lower Amu Darya River and attack the back of the Han army. At the same time, he also allocated 20,000 yuan to assist Zhu Flange.
Bogu was too addicted to the Thousand Golden Dragon and Tiger Pill, and calculated in his heart when Zhu Falan's army would arrive at the designated place, and then struck a thunderous blow, and his side was attacked, which would definitely make the Han army collapse, thinking about it, he fell asleep beautifully.
Xiahoudun and Zhao Yun agreed to start in the early morning of the sixth day, and this time period was when people were sleeping deeply, and the reaction to the outside world was also reduced to the lowest point.
Xiahoudun took the lead in attacking, using a bed crossbow mixed with a gunpowder bag to open the way, quickly clearing the few enemy troops behind the stone bridge, and then the army crossed the bridge and killed the camp in the valley.
Zhao Yun heard the sound of gunpowder exploding, and immediately commanded his men and horses to launch a fire attack on the camp tent in Dazhai. Powder packets were hung from the iron arrows of the bed crossbows, or wrapped in oil-soaked fire cloths, and they screamed together and pounced on the camp.
Most of the Kushan country belonged to desert areas, and the night was windy, and a camp tent was set on fire, and the fire soon spread. When the sleeping soldiers heard the night patrol soldiers shouting "enemy attack", they did not care until the camp was on fire and the fire was scorching, and they reacted, rushed out of the tent, and shouted indiscriminately.
Zhao Yun saw that the enemy army was in chaos in the firelight, and said loudly to the two lieutenant generals: "The cavalry is divided into three teams and rushes into the enemy village. ”
Twenty-five thousand cavalry, divided into three formations, began the assault on the Kushan camp. The striker threw out the gunpowder bag and blew open the wall, and the large group of men and horses rushed into the enemy camp, and the crossbows and gunpowder bags scattered at any cost, and the crowded crowd of Guishan soldiers was torn open in an instant. The horses leaped, and under the iron hooves, trampled everything that stood in their way.
Bo Gu was woken up by the guards in his sleep, and when he heard the news of the Han army's night attack, Bo Gu shouted: "The Han army is still on the periphery, there is no need to panic." Gather your men and slaughter them with me. ”
Xiahoudun had also led the men and horses into the enemy camp at this time, and Zhao Yun attacked before and after, Guishan Dazhai was blazing, and the people and horses were shouting, and it became a pot of porridge.
When Po Trough saw that only about 10,000 men and horses were gathered, he was furious and roared, "What about people? Why don't you come and assemble? ”
The adjutant general said helplessly: "General, the Han army has attacked from the east and west for two years, breaking more than a dozen camps in a row, and our army has suffered heavy casualties, and it can no longer be gathered together." ”
Bo Gu was stunned for a moment, thinking in his heart, I don't know if Zhu Flange can get behind the enemy in time? If you can't do anything, 30,000 horses will be burned in the fire. Bo Gu Xun made a decision and commanded his men and horses to charge south, after all, there was no enemy situation in the direction of Lan City.
The Dazhai on the periphery of Guishan has already caught fire, and the flames are advancing towards the center from all sides, and Bogu never dreamed that Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun saw the flames rising, and they had already withdrawn their troops to the periphery of Dazhai, opened the big net, and just waited for fishing.
Zhu Falan led 30,000 people, after crossing the Amu Darya, rushed to the back of the Han army to kill, in the night sky, saw the fire in the sky, it was the direction of the valley army, couldn't help but feel anxious, urged the army, reckless, towards the fire. As the men and horses were marching, they heard the thunder of war drums, and a group of cavalry killed them. At this time, Zhu Falan's army had become the end of the strong crossbow, and was rushed by the cavalry, the formation was scattered, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit.
The people who rushed over were Deng Ai's team. After Deng Ai killed Douglas, he reported to Guo Jia, Guo Jia ordered him to be the vanguard, first aid Xiahoudun, saw a fire burning in the western sky, and the faint sound of fighting came, so he urged the men and horses to come, not wanting to encounter Zhu Falan's army, and immediately started a fight.
In order to hurry, Zhu Falan's men and horses lined up in a long formation, and Deng Ai's men and horses concentrated their forces and charged against the troops at the head of them, and in the local environment, the troops had an absolute advantage. Zhu Farlan's forward army, unable to resist, began to run backwards and rushed into his own team, thus causing chaos in his own men.
Zhu Falan saw that he asked the guards to desperately prevent the advance from retreating, and he led his men and horses down the road, bypassed the field, and attacked Deng Ai's men and horses. In the autumn fields, the crops were tall and dense, which delayed the impact of the war horses, and Zhu Falan had to slow down, which brought a good opportunity to Deng Ai.
Deng Ai saw that most of the enemy troops were in the field, and shouted: "Gunpowder bag attack, set the field on fire." ”
The crops in the fields were already yellow, in the semi-dry period, the explosion of the gunpowder pack, soon led to a fire, the autumn wind blows, the fire spreads very fast, the flames mixed with thick smoke, fill half of the sky.
Deng Ai saw that the enemy was caught in flames, whistled, led the men and horses, and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.
Bo Valley's dream was inadvertently extinguished by Deng Ai, and what awaited him was the fire that was getting closer and closer. Bo Gu was sweating profusely from the scorching flames, and knew that if it went on like this, 10,000 people would not be able to survive, so he had to order a charge, hoping to escape from the fire and save his life.
