The rising sun was red, and the sun sowed on the Shule King City, making the whole city seem to be covered with a layer of blood.

Recently, standing guard and patrolling day and night, the Shule soldiers have long been exhausted by tossing.

They leaned crookedly against the wall, and swords, spears, and halberds were scattered all over the ground at their feet.

"Boom Boom ......"

Suddenly, in the distance, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, which was particularly clear in the quiet of the morning, and woke up the drowsy soldiers.

They rubbed their eyes, yawned, stuck their heads out from behind the walls, and leaned out to look out of the city.

I saw a fast horse galloping in the distance between the yellow sand and the sky, and a man covered in blood was lying on the horse's back.

When the horse came to the city gate with the wounded rider, the rider used his last strength to intermittently say, "River...... Hexi ...... The Western Army is coming. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the rider let out a "wow", spat out a stream of blood, fell off his horse, and died in full view of everyone.

"Oh my God!? This...... Isn't this the cavalry that went to attack the Hexi Army before? Why is he the only one left? ”

"That's right! I saw with my own eyes that there were two thousand horsemen leaving the royal city. ”

"Why are you still stupid? Go and report to the king. ”

"Let's block the gates first."

Knowing that the Hexi army was about to enter the city, the city was panicked.

The soldiers who were originally looking out of the city shrank their necks one after another.

It was as if the horizontal swords, bows and arrows of the Hexi people were about to fall on their heads.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire Shule City seemed to be frozen due to the arrival of the Hexi Army......

……

The Hexi Army did not disappoint the Shule people, and when it was close to noon, they finally revealed the true face of Lushan.

"Roar ......" first came from a distant roar, so frightened that the Shule people carefully looked out.

"Hexi Army...... Hexi Army ......"

Someone had sharp eyes and saw the sun and moon battle flags flying high at a glance.

I saw that under the horizon in the distance, a cloud of smoke and dust appeared, covering the blazing sun.

The Hexi Army is really coming!

The Shule people were stunned for a moment, and then there was a commotion, and countless people's bodies couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, the king of Shule hurriedly climbed to the head of the city with the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the generals of Shule were wearing heavy armor and led their headquarters to prepare for battle.

Some of the temporarily recruited men could not bear the pressure, so they dropped their weapons and turned around and ran into the city.

As a result, he was cut into pulp by the Overseer in public, which greatly shocked everyone.

In order to boost the morale of the fierce generals, King Shule distributed boxes of gold, silver, and jewels to the soldiers.

It's a pity that the disparity in strength can't be made up by torture and gold and silver rewards.

Before the official start of the war, Shule was frightened and frightened by the momentum displayed by the Hexi army.

The smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and the figures of Hexi soldiers faintly appeared, and the shouts became more and more deafening.

King Shule stretched his neck to see the battle formation of the Hexi army, but he only saw the rolled military flag and the hazy figure.

There was only a tight sound of orders, dull and uniform footsteps, which unmistakably told the Shule people that the Hexi army was really coming.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps and shouting suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed, leaving only the whirring sound of the wind in my ears.

Some of the Shule people who were hiding behind the city wall stood up one after another, wanting to see for themselves.

I saw the four-compartment Hexi Iron Horse, under the rising sun, lined up in a neat battle formation, standing still.

In the midst of the great array, flags were unfurled, swords and guns were lined up, and the pressure like a mountain was rushing to the face.

The Shule people looked at the endless formation, and they all stood on the spot, and a cold air rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

……

The Hexi Army did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, and they arranged their troops in an orderly manner under the noses of the Shule people.

It's like participating in a point parade, every action is precise and in place, and the whole looks like a smooth flow.

Being in the core of the huge military formation, the main general Wang Maide enjoyed it very much, watching the soldiers rehearse the military formation like a cloud.

Even if he had seen it countless times, every time he saw the Hexi military formation, he was always very excited.

Every time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: what a perfect formation, what a well-trained soldier.

Any commander-in-chief will be very proud and proud to have such a powerful army.

At the beginning, he led his army across the Tianshan Mountains, and as soon as he entered the territory of Shule, he was attacked by a fierce Shule cavalry.

The enemy wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Hexi Army to take him by surprise.

But he didn't know that the Hexi army was ready for battle all the time, and as a result, the Shule people were severely taught a lesson.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Maide couldn't help but snort lightly.

King Shule also underestimated the Hexi Army too much, and wanted to shake the Hexi Army with a little bit of Taoism.

The desperate King of Qiuci has already expressed his submission to Hexi, and Khotan's blow to Nancheng in Fuqu is also about to destroy the country.

Now Shule is already a fish on the anvil, just waiting for the Hexi army to cut off the butcher's knife.

……

"Knock Knock ......"

The horn of the Chinese army sounded, and the Hexi athletes instantly became excited, and the battle was about to start!

In an instant, the majestic sound of orders came and went.

The battalions sent messages and flew horses to gallop back and forth, and the battle flags of all colors were also rolled in unison.

Boom! Suddenly, there was a sound of horizontal knives unsheathed in the battle array.

At the same time, the crossbowmen stepped forward at the same time, drawing their bows and arrows.

After a cup of tea, the drumming stopped abruptly, and the whole army was ready to attack, and there was a sudden silence.

At this time, the city of Shule was already lonely, and everyone was shocked by the momentum of the Hexi army.

The king of Shule was even more unbearable, so frightened that he could not stay any longer, and was supported by his retinue and staggered down the city.

As soon as the king of Shule left, a series of huge and short war drums sounded under the city, indicating that the Hexi army was finally about to attack.

"Put!" With an order, thousands of sharp arrows instantly covered the head of Shule City.

With the help of bows and arrows, a large number of Hexi soldiers quickly approached the city wall, and the cloud ladder also rumbled to follow.

After a moment of fear, the originally lifeless city of Shule finally became agitated, and arrows, rolling logs, and rocks poured down.

The bald-haired Wei Tan made a military order in front of Wang Maide: the city will be broken before dark.

He rushed to the front of the line with a horizontal knife in his hand, and under the cover of the shield bearer, he quickly pulled his sword up the ladder.

The rest followed, one after the other, and no one flinched, and the longbowmen continued to provide accurate and fierce cover for the siege troops.

At first, the resistance of the Shule people was very tenacious, and the soldiers of Hexi continued to roll down from the city.

Seeing that the offensive was not going well at the beginning, the bald Wei Tan couldn't help but be furious, and immediately flew up.

The slaughter has begun!

The bald man changed the position of friend and foe, and let the defenders die tragically at his feet.

The Shule soldiers were completely frightened by him, and only stared blankly at the bald Wei Tan showing great might, but they did not dare to come forward to besiege him.

When the bald Wei Tan turned around to clean them up, several people shouted in unison, threw away their weapons and fled.

Along the bloody road of the bald Wei Tan, the soldiers of Hexi swarmed up, raised their snowy horizontal knives, and set off a bloody storm at the head of the city.

The Shule people only held out for one round, and under the fierce offensive of the Hexi army, they completely collapsed.

With a bang, a large hole was knocked open in the Shule gate.

The Hexi Army, which had long been impatient, squeezed forward one after another from the broken place.

They first killed the defenders behind the gate, and then removed the stones and logs that blocked the gate, and opened the gate.

As soon as the city gate opened, the Hexi army outside the city suddenly thundered with joy, and under the command of Wang Maide, the whole army advanced.

The cavalry on the two wings of the front of the formation swept past the infantry like a strong wind and swept towards the city.

The Shule soldiers, who were scurrying with their heads in their arms, were crushed to pieces by the cavalry that rushed into the city like a madness.

The Shule people, who had no fighting spirit, lay on the ground scattered.

If it weren't for Wang Maide's timely order, the bald Wei Tan who killed the red eyes would have slaughtered them all.

The surging army cleared the streets of the remnants of resistance and soon surrounded the palace.

The bald Wei Tan led more than 100 soldiers to the palace gate, and the palace guards, who had already been frightened, obediently opened the palace gate.

Under the sharp blade of the Hexi people, the chamberlain pointed out the direction of the king and queen to flee in a hurry to the murderous bald Wei Tan.

In less than an hour, the royal city of Shule was drummed down by the Hexi army.

Billowing wolf smoke rose in the city, and under the offensive of the Hexi army, the resistance of the Shule people turned into powder without even splashing a wave.

Wang Maide rode on his horse, looking at King Shule who was trembling on his knees, and a faint feeling of pleasure rose in his heart.

"Come on, report to the capital! From now on, the Western Regions will belong to Hexi. ”
