Chapter 646: Hand-to-hand combat

Saadin said in a daze, "Don't be afraid, baby, I brought those Han people into the city last night. ”

The princess shook him vigorously again, and said, "Not in the city, but outside the city!" ”

Saadin was taken aback, got up, and said loudly, "What? There is an army outside the city? Quick, help me to see Lord Liu. ”

Although he was in Pishan City, Liu Xin would not pin the safety of his army on the Pishan guards. After entering the city, he sent people to take over the city defense, and on the other hand, he sent scouts to patrol around. When the army outside the city was still thirty miles away from Pishan, its whereabouts had already been mastered by the scouts sent by Liu Xin.

When Saadin came panting, Liu Xin had already climbed to the top of Pishan City and gave the order to prepare for an attack.

The city walls of Shanshan's national capital, Hunicheng, are only more than one person high, and Pishan is even weaker, and its walls can be imagined, and I am afraid that it is not much stronger than the camps set up by the Han army in the wilderness. Outside the city, however, there were more than 40,000 black troops. In this case, instead of passively sticking to it, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

As Liu Xin expected, outside the city were the Three Kingdoms alliance of Dawan, Shule and Shache. Dawan's envoy Yansai returned to Guishan City, reported the scene he saw in Xicheng to Lan Feng, and added fuel to Liu Xin's arrogance and rudeness, of course, he also had to show himself a meritorious service, saying that he had heard the truth of the Han army, but there were more than 3,000 people.

Lan Feng was originally ambitious, and when he heard that the Han army was only more than 3,000 people, he started to think, especially when he heard that the Han envoy carried a large amount of silk and porcelain that was more precious than silk, Lan Feng made up his mind completely.

If Dawan wants to send troops to attack the Han mission, he must go through Shule and Shache, which is also the main reason why Lanfeng united Shule and Shache last time, and this time is naturally no exception. The envoys of Shule and Shache also reported to their kings what they had seen and heard in Xicheng, with particular emphasis on the size of the Han army. The three parties, who were already connected, hit it off, with Dawan sending 20,000 troops, Shule and Shache each sending 10,000 troops, and quickly formed a coalition army. 20,000 people is nothing for Dawan, but for Shule and Shache, it is almost the strength of the whole country.

I don't know if I heard that the Han mission was carrying such valuable items, so Lan Feng couldn't help but want to have a sneak peek, or because he bullied the Han soldiers and wanted to establish immortal military exploits, anyway, Lan Feng came to a "royal expedition" this time. Not only that, but he also asked the king of Shule, Kanbelin, and the king of Shache, Gumuji, to come as well. Although the two kings were reluctant, they were forced to act with Lan Feng under pressure. In fact, Lan Feng's move also had his intentions, as long as the two kings came together, they were already firmly tied to his chariot.

Since he learned that the Han army only had 3,000 people, Lan Feng did not plan to play the old trick of sneak attack again, but was ready to fight the Han army to the death openly. If you want to fight a battle with the Han army openly, you must pass through Pishan. Originally, in a small country like Pishan, Lan Feng didn't bother to pay attention to him. However, when Yansai passed through Pishan on his way back to Dawan, he heard that Saadin, the king of Pishan, had taken the initiative to go to Khotan and hugged Liu Xin's thigh.

Lan Feng was furious, and after meeting Shule and Shache, he immediately waved his army and pointed straight at Pishan, which appeared under Pishan City.

Saadin climbed up to the top of the city and was surprised to see so many men and horses coming from under the city. To be honest, he had never seen so many troops except for the battle with the horse bandits in the field the night before.

However, having seen the military might of the Han Dynasty, and there were 8,000 Han cavalry in the city, Saadin was obviously much calmer, he looked at the city for a while, and suddenly said excitedly: "Lord Liu, I didn't expect that King Shule and King Shache are all here, you see, there are two of them over there, and it won't be King Dawan standing between them." ”

It turned out that although Saadin didn't know Lan Feng, he knew two close neighbors, Kamberin and Gumuki. Liu Xin was also quite surprised to hear that the kings of Shule and Shache had come in person, and he picked up the clairing mirror and looked at the enemy formation.

There was a huge carriage in the middle of the enemy line, and there were as many as eight horses in the car. In the carriage, three men dressed in splendid silk clothes sat together, pointing at the city. In front of them were all kinds of melons, fruits and wines, but beside them were several young and beautiful women.

Liu Xin put down the clairvoyant mirror and sneered: "The march and war still have such pleasure, I really don't know how to write dead words!" Command the three armies, prepare to attack, whoever can capture the three guys in the carriage alive will be credited with a great credit! ”

Saadin knew that Liu Xin still had more than 60,000 troops left outside the western city, although he had never seen what a spectacular scene of 60,000 people gathered together, but he was sure that that army was definitely more than the enemy army under the city. Hearing that Liu Xin wanted to attack, Saadin hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency, don't be reckless, why don't you wait for reinforcements to arrive." ”

"Don't worry, Liu will let you see how the invincible Han cavalry swept through thousands of armies today, and then let you have a good look at the war wisdom of the East. Organize the people of the city to slaughter cattle and sheep, and prepare fine wine, and wait for the triumph of my soldiers. Liu Xin patted Saadin on the shoulder, pointed in the direction of the carriage outside the city, and said, "See, there are a few beauties there, presumably King Dawan brought all his concubines." I'll ask the sons and daughters to catch it and give you a warm bed. Haha, haha...... Sons, kill! ”

With Liu Xin's order, the west gate of Pishan City slowly opened, and the three thousand Han iron horsemen were like a sharp sword straight into the enemy formation outside the city.

Sitting in the center of the huge carriage was Lan Feng, the king of Dawan, who, although he had never been to Pishan, knew that Pishan was just a small country with a population of thousands. Isn't it a matter of 40,000 troops attacking a thousand, including the elderly, weak, women and children, to lift your feet? Lan Feng, Camberin, and Gu Daji leisurely drank grape wine, and their generals were unhurriedly preparing for the siege.

Suddenly, Lan Feng saw that the gate of Pishan was opened, and a group of thousands of cavalry rushed straight towards them, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Didn't you say that there are only more than 3,000 people in the city, where did these many cavalry come from?" Could it be that even a three-year-old child can ride a horse and shoot an arrow? ”

Shache was the closest to Pishan, Gu Muji couldn't know more about the situation in Pishan Kingdom, and after listening to Lan Feng's question, he also raised his head with a blank expression. But when he saw Yan Sai riding his horse coming, he stammered and said, "Great, king, it's not good, it's the Han army, and the Han army has killed it." ”

"Han Jun? Didn't you report that there were only more than 3,000 people in the Han army? Look at this situation, the Han army is all here. Doesn't that mean that the Han mission has already arrived in Pishan? Lan Feng stood up from the car with a bang, asked a series of questions, and without waiting for Yan Sai to answer, he suddenly said excitedly, "That's fine, it saves us a lot of things." Kids, go to the city and have three days off! ”

According to Lan Feng's plan, they were originally going to attack the city, but now the soldiers in the city actually took the initiative to rush out and send them to death, which is the best. However, his soldiers were still preparing for the siege, and the infantry in front of them were carrying all kinds of siege equipment, and there was no time to line up to meet the cavalry.

Although Dawan produces good horses, most famous for their bloody horses, most of the people are farmers who mainly grow various crops, rather than nomads like the Xiongnu. Dawan's cavalry has empty horses, but the level of cavalry and archery is average, and the tactical literacy is not at all, Lan Feng's order has been issued for a long time, and those cavalry have not reacted leisurely, but the Shache cavalry on the left flank took the lead to meet it.

Shache and Shule are half farming and half herding, and the soldiers' riding skills are much more exquisite, but no matter how high their riding skills are, they cannot surpass the Hun cavalry, and the Hun cavalry is completely vulnerable in front of Liu Xin's Han cavalry, so how many chances can these cavalry have.

In the absence of stirrups, no matter how superb the riding skills are, only a few people can draw a bow and shoot arrows while the horse is galloping, let alone wielding a knife to kill. There were as many as 5,000 cavalry in the Yache Kingdom, and these cavalry were not very fast to meet them, and they needed to stop when they were a stone's throw away from the Han army. Only when the horses stop running or are very slow can they use their riding and archery power.

However, when they were still two arrows away from the Han army, the Han army began to attack first, and wave after wave of arrows rained down on them. The coalition soldiers watched the Han army's actions in amazement, not believing that the Han army's bows and arrows could attack such a distance. What surprised them even more was that the Han cavalry did not slow down in the slightest during the archery shooting. This is the real riding and shooting, such a riding and archery ability, even the best warriors among them can't do it, while the thousands of Han cavalry opposite them have such an ability.

Many soldiers of the Triple Alliance were stunned, and even forgot to dodge when they saw the enemy's arrow rain arrive in front of them. It wasn't until there were screams one after another around them that these soldiers were startled and made various dodge moves.

In the midst of their hesitation, the Han cavalry had already rushed in front of them and drew their sharp sabers. Before the Shache cavalry could carry out even a wave of counterattacks with bows and arrows, the battle situation entered the moment of hand-to-hand combat. Almost without thinking, the chariot cavalry jumped off his horse and drew his scimitar. It was barely possible to let them bend their bows and shoot arrows on their horses, but few people could do it if they were to wield a scimitar on their horses.

However, before they could get ready, the sabers in the hands of the Han cavalry had already been chopped off their heads. The power of man plus the power of the war horse, coupled with the momentum of the war horse galloping, the power of this knife is unstoppable. The Shache cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, and in the blink of an eye, the Han cavalry had torn the chaotic Shache cavalry formation in half.
