"This can't be the "country of castles" as Your Majesty said! But is this really a country? Yan Liang, the leading general of the Left Army, said with a puzzled look on his face towards Wen Chou and Tai Shici.

"You can't be wrong. The military painters in the staff combat hall in Xiangyang don't have the courage to do anything on the marching map! Tai Shi Ci also came over, looked at the map of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions in the scale of 100,000 parts, and glanced at the scene in front of him, and said calmly.

"Wen Chou, send your scouts to see what's going on there?" Yan Liang looked at Wen Chou who was looking around in front of him and said loudly.

"Yes, big brother!" Wen Chou agreed, and then said loudly.

"Defend yourself! Ten of you go out in pairs to find out! Wen Chou first roared, and then looked at the Red Feather Cavalry in front of him and said loudly.

Immediately after that, the 50,000 elite armor was worthy of being well-trained and experienced in the battlefield, and the shield soldiers instantly stepped forward to form two layers of staggered shield gates, with pikemen pierced behind the shields, followed by the Chu army's long knife soldiers and carrying crossbows with greater lethality than bows and arrows.

Further back, that is, in the center, the cavalry who turned over and dismounted and waited for the order to get on their horses to fight again led their men, and even the war horses were in a uniform formation.

In the center of the great array were one hundred and fifty heavy wagons with black lacquer and flags of gardenias with gold and silver leaves, as well as more than sixty wagons and three hundred heavy soldiers.

Although the defensive formation is tight and compact, each defensive formation inside is indeed very loose and not too crowded at all.

"This Shanshan country has been at war with us in the Central Plains since the time of the Han Dynasty, and this time it seems that we will spend some time and cannonballs!" Yan Liang looked at Tai Shi Ci in front of him and couldn't help but say with a smile on his face.

"I really can't understand how much courage they have to compete with our armed and morale-high Imperial army!" Yan Liang looked at the Shanshan Kingdom in front of him, who was still unaware of the arrival of his imperial army, and said with some puzzlement.

"The armies of Emperor Wu and Emperor Zhao of the previous dynasty also went back and forth four times before taking this small country! Maybe they've figured out we're defending ourselves! Tai Shi Ci looked at Yan Liang, who was too optimistic in front of him, and said calmly.

"Wouldn't that be better, I'll just let the artillery captain directly open fire and attack! The adobe walls would have been reduced to dust in a burst of heavy bombardment. Yan Liang looked at the Tai Shi Ci in front of him and said loudly.

"Report to the general, the last general has already been investigated! After the attack, there were three reinforcements that could threaten the main force on our left. Here, here, and here. ”

"The total strength of each garrison exceeds 20,000 soldiers, and there are a small number of Hun cavalry!" Ten Red Feather cavalry of the Chu Army returned from afar to report to the guerrilla general Zhang He and the deputy general Gao Ran of the Left Army.

"In other words, our enemies are at least 60,000, so if this is the case, the combat pressure of our troops is not ordinarily great!" Zhang He said with a smile on his face at Gao Ran.

"Even if the pressure is high, we have to take them down! Otherwise, when the main force on the left is attacking, it is easy for the main force on the left to be attacked when attacking! Gao Ran looked at the Zhang He map in front of him, and said with a little difficulty on his face.

"Don't talk about it here! There is at least 300 miles between here and here, and although we have 60,000 elite horsemen, we can't do it and quickly rush to the next battle point after completing the battle here! ”

"But we can divide our forces! You see, here this is a valley mouth, surrounded by the Gobi Desert, and there is a large poplar forest in the valley. ”

"In addition, if you want to make a detour, I'm afraid it will take at least half the time compared to here, and the most exciting thing is that this is the only option for the three support locations."

"Then we can ambush and intercept these reinforcements in the valley!" Zhang He looked at Gao Ran in front of him and said excitedly.

"If it's really according to our predictions, then this result is so good! Then do it! Gao Ran looked at the Zhang He in front of him and said with a smile on his face.

"Looks like this is a godsend! Everyone paid attention to act immediately, and all rushed to the Jade Valley. Zhang He waved his hand at the 60,000 Chu army elite horsemen in front of him and said loudly.

"Drive, drive! Drive, drive!" The 60,000 elite horsemen then followed Zhang He and Gao Ran in front of them, galloping towards the target location in front of them.

"Big brother, it's all done! This is indeed Shanshan country, but the land is also pitiful, but I have to say that the location here is very special. ”

"If anyone can take down Shanshan Kingdom, it is equivalent to controlling the water supply lines and grain and grass supply that go deep into the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions!" Wen Chou looked at the document and paper handed over to him to record the information, and read it with his head down.

"Looks like it's really good here! In that case, we really have to fight this time! After listening to it, Yan Liang took the information in his hand and read it, and then said with a smile.

"Looks like it does!" Wen Chou on the side looked at Yan Liang and Tai Shici in front of him and said loudly.

"Then go down and prepare! Remove the defensive formation and prepare for the attack!" Yan Liang looked at Wen Chou and Tai Shici in front of him and said loudly.

"Xiao Laosan, where are your one hundred and fifty artillery? Hurry up and bring it up for me! Wen Chou turned his head and looked at a middle-aged lieutenant who was five big and three thick, and said loudly.

"Hurry up! Block!" More than 1,000 Chu artillerymen are in full swing and begin to arrange artillery.

"Hahaha! I'll let you know this time, what is the artillery of the Great Chu Empire!" Yan Liang looked at the newly cast one hundred and fifty breech guns and said loudly and arrogantly.

"Let me go!" Yan Liang looked at the city wall that was not made of stone, and said even more rampantly.

"Tom tom! Tom tom! Tom tom tom!" One hundred and fifty breech guns bombarded the rudimentary city wall in front of them, and after a dense bombardment, the city wall was already blown apart!

"Fire!" With Yan Liang's loud order again.

The one hundred and fifty cannons roared again, and this time the remnants of the city wall were directly blown up in dust, and some soldiers who had been stationed on the wall were blown into the sky.

"The infantry stepped forward and attacked tentatively! The cavalry followed at intervals behind!"
