Chapter 127: Lian Zhan Lianke
The days of the strange cow are definitely having a good time.
I haven't seen you for two months, and this product has grown fat!
The most fucked up thing is that there are two big yaks that look like little brothers behind him.
However, wandering in the mountains and forests, after the wind and rain, the saddle on his back has disappeared.
Fortunately, the back of this thing is broad, and it can sit and lie down, and in the astonished eyes of the slaves, someone carries a sword and shield, stands on the back of the ox and points forward, "Go you!" ”
"Oh my God, the general doesn't need to use force to subdue the demon beast!"
"No, this is the Heavenly Beast and our army, exactly like that pass!"
"This battle will be won!"
"This battle will be won!"
Fearing that the sneak attack would be discovered, the slaves, whose morale was greatly boosted, suppressed their throats and whispered hisses.
The corners of Yang Shuang's mouth curled, in this battle, Lao Tzu is going to level the Western Regions, and he will leave a name in history!
Gaochang, unlike Yiwu, is a region dominated entirely by Han Chinese and Han culture, resembling another Dunhuang.
If translated according to the foreign languages of the Western Regions, the name of Gaochang should be Cinackand, which means "Qincheng", in other words, it is Chinatown!
It is located at the foot of the famous Flame Mountain, only 80 miles from Tibet.
Gaochang City is not big, the circumference is not more than ten miles, the base of the city wall is 12 meters thick, about 11 meters high, and it is built of rammed earth.
Referring to the Yiwu literature, the current king of Gaochang should still be the king of Kojiga. (koji: qu, same song)
The 100,000-strong army of the Western Turks marched eastward, and they did not do anything against these small cities and countries that fell to them, but fought against the strongest king Shanshan.
Taking Gaochang is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the Western Turkic army advancing eastward!
As for the Turkic reinforcements?
As long as he dares to come, Yang Shuang will dare to take out all his troops, go west out of the northern pass, along the edge of the Junggar Basin, and go straight to the western Turkic hinterland.
War is a play with the word 'ruthless'.
You will kill my people, and I will destroy your children.
"Boom ······"
Gaochang City was in sight, Yang Shuang ordered the cavalry to start charging, and he was acting as a spearhead, running at the forefront of the team.
"Enemy Attack !!"
The mournful shouts suddenly sounded, and the soldiers at the city gate pushed the city gate with all their might, preparing to close it, regardless of the lives of the people outside the city.
"Rush forward!"
The strange bull that is running fast and furiously has an impact that is not much worse than that of a war elephant, coupled with its rough skin and thick flesh, and a one-meter-long single horn on its head, which is far more fierce than that of the rushing car.
A mile away in an instant, the strange ox horn touched the iron-clad door, as simple as a crossbow piercing rice paper, and easily smashed the thing that stood in its way to pieces.
And Yang Shuang jumped up from the back of a three-meter-high ox, flew four or five meters along the momentum, inserted the war knife into the city wall, and without waiting for the stagnant body to fall, the shield shot instantly, hooked the wall battlement above, and violently pulled the chain, and the whole person jumped up again, falling lightly in the city wall.
"Kill !!"
Before the enemy soldiers on the guard at the city gate could react, the huge horse had already rolled up a rain of blood.
And the general is still in a circle.
"Die!"
The strange ox broke through the city gate and continued to run forward, and his sword and shield soldiers, led by Liu Ling, attacked the palace of the king of Gaochang.
The three children who followed followed rushed to the city wall with two thousand slaves and quickly took over the fortifications of Gaochang City.
In non-war times, there are so many defenders on the city wall, and it is already very good to be able to arrange a few teams of patrol soldiers.
The dazzling assault came violently and ended very quickly.
When Liu Ling took more than a dozen soldiers and threw the King of Gaochang at Yang Shuang's feet, only a quarter of an hour passed.
"My name is Yang Shuang!"
Patting King Lijia's cheek, the corners of Yang Shuang's mouth curled slightly, ignoring the other party's frightened face, he instructed the third baby, "Loot all the royal families to act as the vanguard, the soldiers are divided into two ways, Liu Ling takes Yanqi, you go to attack Turpan!" ”
"Yes, General!"
The Western Turks marched eastward, and King Shanshan retreated while fighting, and had lost many cities.
And these small countries in the Western Regions who took refuge in the Turks are also very active, and if they send a few hundred people, they can add one or two cities to themselves.
Therefore, at this opportunity, leading more than 1,000 soldiers and horses around the Tarim Basin, you can capture more than ten cities.
It's a pity that Yang Shuang doesn't have so much time.
On the western shore of Lake Nabosten, Yanqi at the foot of the Tian Shan Mountains was intended to serve as a temporary retreat.
And take Turpan, which is located in the oasis, is to build a large number of siege equipment.
Three days later.
Shi Da and Niu Er, who were notified by the sentry of Yiwu City, also led the team around the North Road Pass and arrived at Gaochang City with Shi Wanzai, the second master who received them.
Going north to the Turks, these two children robbed cattle, sheep and slaves.
Behind the two thousand sword and shield soldiers, the labor converted from slaves is fully five thousand!
When the brothers saw each other again, they were inevitably a little embarrassed, and Shi Da hugged Yang Shuang and cried bitterly.
It wasn't until Niu Er told him about the mound that he was kicked away by someone.
Yang Shuang deeply suspected that the mound of clothes in Yumen Pass was made by this goods!
Five days later, Liu Ling, who had conquered Yanqi, returned with his troops.
At the same time, Sanwazi also sent a sentry to bring the news that Turpan had been conquered.
At this point, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yang Shuang's hands.
Among them, the system supports 3,000 sword and shield soldiers led by Shi Da and Liu Ling.
The Great Sui armor led by Shi Wansui was a thousand.
The Northern Tianshan Mountains and Yiwu City are integrated, and the labor led by Sanwazi and Niu Er is 7,000!
After the cancellation of the North Tianshan Pass Engineering Equipment Factory, Yang Shuang built it again outside Turpan City.
And looted all the grain and grass in Gaochang and Yanqi cities, and the army repaired for five days, with countless bed crossbows and trebuchets, and slaughtered to Shanshan City!
······
After more than two months of fierce fighting, Shanshan City has long lost its former glory.
In the billowing smoke, the rammed earth city wall fell and collapsed, but it was still not broken by the Turks.
King Shanshan understood that if the city was breached by the Turks, his attempt to recreate the glory of Loulan would be in vain. And defeat the Turks, or block the Turks, and you can easily occupy the entire Western Regions in the future!
Datou Khan also seems to understand that if he wants to enter the Central Plains eastward, the Western Regions must be controlled by himself. And King Shanshan, who is the strongest nail household in the Western Regions, naturally wants to get rid of it!
Moreover, there has been news from the east that the Great Sui intends to restart the Silk Road, and if the transit station is held in its own hands, there will be a shortage of money and treasures in the future?
The two sides have killed bloody, and three battles a day are like drinking water and eating.
However, Apo has gradually lost his patience.
Because the cattle and sheep brought from the prairie are almost exhausted.
If you can't take Shanshan City, you can drink the northwest wind!
In the evening of this day, Apo decided to fight at night!
The 100,000 soldiers and horses lost 20%, the remaining 80,000 were left wounded, and there were 50,000 soldiers who could fight.
This shows how tragic this siege battle was.
And King Shanshan, who received the news, also appeared on the city gate tower.
Different from the once radiant spirit, this old man's eyes are deep-set, his face is sallow, and even the two Xuanhua axes are rusty, and he has lost his previous shining edge.
"King Shanshan! Give you another chance, will it fall, or will it die with the city? ”
"Haha, Da Luo, you want to take me, just come !!"
"Woo woo woo ·······"
While the two were talking, a rush of trumpets suddenly occurred in the Turkic army.
Apo was furious, "Who is the blowing around?" Chopped! ”
"Report, the Great Khan, the camp where the wounded were placed in the west was suddenly broken by the Sui army, and they ····· They're here! ”
PS: Due to too many sensitive topics in the Western Regions, the plot is accelerated, and Yang Shuang will control the Western Regions in three chapters at most. There may be loopholes, but try to make sense of it.
