Chapter 767: A Fierce Battle

Before Liu Xin could enjoy the beauty of this grassland, he saw a black cloud sweeping in the distance. It was, of course, not a black cloud, but a large group of cavalry.

There was no shelter on the grassland, and the cavalry came quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was five hundred paces away. Liu Xin waved his hand, and the Han cavalry immediately dispersed, forming three loose conical formations, with arrows wound and knives out of their sheaths, as if facing a great enemy.

Although according to the news brought back by the envoy, this place already belonged to the territory controlled by the queen of Kangju, but after all, in other people's land, Liu Xin was obviously much more cautious than usual, and the situation of the enemy and us was not clear, so he quickly ordered the formation of a defensive formation.

At this time, the cavalry on the opposite side rushed closer and closer, and the war horses galloped rapidly on the grassland. The Han soldiers could already see the outline of the other party's face, but without Liu Xin's order, all the soldiers clenched the bows and arrows and sabers in their hands, and did not make a sound, only the occasional neighing of the war horses was one or two. The two teams were still and moving, and the atmosphere seemed a little surprised.

Seeing that the group of men and horses was only three hundred paces away from the formation laid by the Han army, those riders did not slow down, but rushed faster. Some of the young Han soldiers began to get nervous and looked at Liu Xin one after another, as if urging him to give orders quickly.

Liu Xin was unmoved, just looked at each other coldly.

Just when the two sides were still two hundred paces apart, the cavalry suddenly stopped their momentum and stopped there. In order to catch the war horse in time in the fast run, it requires superb riding skills, and tens of thousands of people control their war horses at the same time, which not only requires superb riding skills, but also requires familiar cooperation and strict training. Needless to say, these people were showing off their strength to the Han army.

This kind of pediatric performance Liu Xin didn't pay attention to, the Han cavalry equipped with stirrups could do better than them, and the movements were more neat and uniform, but Liu Xin didn't bother to show it. What he was most concerned about now was whether the group belonged to Queen Kangju or to Murza.

Kangju's language is similar to that of Dawan, Shule, and Shache, and Liu Xinjun has his own interpreter in this regard, and he was about to send someone to inquire, when he suddenly saw a horse rushing out of the other party's formation.

The rider came to the front of the two armies, pointed at Liu Xin with a scimitar in his hand, and said loudly: "Listen to the people on the other side, this is already the land of Kangju, no matter where you come from, give me a hurry back, otherwise my king of Murza will not forgive!" ”

The matter between Liu Xin and the Black Whirlwind was a top secret, of course Sun Ce didn't know about it, but he knew that the purpose of this trip was to help Queen Kangju deal with his brother Murza, and these people on the other side were Murza's people.

However, listening to this person's tone, Murza had already controlled the entire country and sat on the throne, Sun Ce couldn't help frowning, and said: "Father, Queen Fei Kangju has been defeated, do we still want to continue to fight against this new king?" ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Xin's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" Kill all these people, and leave not a single one behind! ”

Sun Ce had never seen Liu Xin so vicious, but he was startled, and hurriedly said, "Father, do you want to catch a few live mouths and ask about the situation over there." ”

The two of them here are talking about other people's lives and deaths lightly, as if they were just a group of puppets opposite, and they didn't take them seriously at all. The knight was already annoyed, and shouted, "Ask again, will you wait for the refund or not?" ”

Liu Xin suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Kill!" If you don't leave a mouth alive, when you enter the city of Khotan, you won't know everything that has happened! ”

As soon as he said this, he already showed Liu Xin's attitude, no matter what happened in Kangju, Murza, the king of Kangju, would definitely not be able to do it. Sun Ce thought he had understood what Liu Xin meant, shouted loudly, and rushed out with a gun. He didn't know that Liu Xin now had the intention of destroying the country.

The Kangju knight was showing off his might there, but unexpectedly, Sun Ce's horse was fast, and he rushed in front of him in an instant, and stabbed him in the heart with a shot. With Sun Ce's attack, three Han army cone formations were launched at the same time. The sound of bowstrings was incessant, and the feathered arrows shot like locusts, and the Knight Kangju was caught off guard and fell off their horses.

They are also warriors who are good at riding and archery, and they control the distance between each other at two hundred paces, just to guard against each other's bow and arrow raids, but they never expected that the bows and arrows of the Han army can shoot such a long distance, and the power is amazing. By the time these Kangju knights reacted, they wanted to fight back with bows and arrows, but it was too late.

Sun Ce rushed into the Kangju formation first, and a spear was elusive, invincible. In fact, Sun Ce is also a brave and ruthless guy, but because of his special identity, he has rarely had the opportunity to come out and charge into battle over the years, even if he occasionally goes back to the battlefield, others will always habitually arrange him behind, and he has long been choked enough. This time, Liu Xin took him to the Western Regions, and when he entered the territory of Kangju, he encountered a big battle, which was just enough for him to have a good time and kill him.

The Kangju warriors believed that they were superb in horsemanship, but when they met the cavalry of the Han army, they realized that the gap between the two sides could no longer be calculated. Their scimitars are also sharp, but when they are connected with the Han army's sabers, they often break into two in one round. What's worse is that they can only hold the reins with one hand and swing the scimitar with the other, but the Han army can take off the reins with both hands, move more freely, and make it easier to exert strength.

When the two armies collided, the invincible Kangju cavalry collapsed and fell backwards. The nomadic tribes on the steppe fought wars, and the most common tactic was to ride and shoot, especially when one side fled and the other side was chasing, shooting each other, although the fight was lively, the casualties were extremely limited. Therefore, when these Kangju knights saw that the melee was not the opponent of the Han army, they did not need to command, so they immediately reined in their horses and left.

They hadn't escaped far, and a cavalry appeared on the left and right flanks and outflanked them, which was the most common tactic of the Han cavalry. When the Kangju cavalry first appeared, the Han army was divided into three teams, which was a position that could be attacked, retreated, and defended. When the enemy is too strong, the left and right armies can cover the safe retreat of the Chinese army, and when the attack is launched, they will outflank and encircle. When Sun Ce launched an attack just now, the two groups of cavalry had already rushed out to both sides, but the Kangju cavalry didn't pay attention at all.

Seeing that they were under siege, the Kangju cavalry suddenly panicked. They were already inferior to the Han army in numbers, and the bows and arrows they relied on the most were much worse than those of the Han army, and the close combat was not the opponent of the Han army, and some timid soldiers had jumped off their horses and knelt down to beg for surrender. Unexpectedly, these Han people were ruthless, they had obviously given up resistance, and Xue Liang's saber still did not hesitate to cut off his head.

The military regulations prohibiting killing and surrendering and killing prisoners were formulated by Liu Xin, but the order to leave no one alive was also issued by him, and the soldiers of the Han army were helpless, so they could only carry out his latest order and kill the Kangju knights.

The trapped beasts were still fighting, and these Kangju knights saw that no matter whether they surrendered or not, the Han people just slashed with a knife, but rekindled their fighting spirit, and screamed to fight with the Han army in one place. When people are faced with a desperate situation, they can often burst out with a strength far exceeding that of many times the usual, which is also the starting point of Liu Xin's prohibition of killing and surrendering, in order to avoid bringing fearless casualties to his own side. Now Liu Xin has sabotaged this policy himself, so the Han army fought a very hard battle.

There is also a big man in the Kangju army, who seems to be the leader of this team, making a giant scimitar much larger than the ordinary scimitar, which looks very fierce, he slashes left and right, and has beheaded more than ten Han soldiers under the horse, which can be called the first fierce general in the Kangju army.

Liu Xin was furious after the battle, and secretly deducted two flying knives, and suddenly saw a horse to kill, and the gun was picked, and the general had already turned over and fallen off the horse, it was Sun Ce.

As soon as the Kangju general died, the morale of the remaining Kangju cavalry was greatly reduced, and the fighting was not as powerful as just now, and there was panic on their faces. The Han army became more and more courageous, and the whole war finally turned into a one-sided massacre.

In this battle, the 10,000 Kangju cavalry were annihilated, and the Han army also suffered more than 1,500 casualties. Just because this Western Regions Legion has not been formed for a long time, if it is replaced by the cavalry of the Sixth Legion or other legions, even if it encounters the enemy's crazy counterattack, it will definitely not have such a large casualty.

Sun Ce came to Liu Xin with a horse, and arched his hand and said: "Father, the children are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have all been solved!" ”

Liu Xin looked at Sun Ce, who was almost stained red with blood, and asked with concern, "Ce'er, are you injured?" ”

Liu Rui is now pregnant, and Sun Ce's lifespan in history is not long, Liu Xin is really worried at this time, he shouldn't let him rush to the front, in case he has a good one, he really can't explain it after he goes back.

Fortunately, Liu Xin was just worried in vain, Sun Ce reached out and wiped the blood on his face, and grinned: "The children are fine, they all splashed it!" ”

Liu Xin nodded slightly. At the beginning, he had made a decision that if Sun Ce did not dare to surrender, he would resolutely eradicate the entire Sun family. Seeing Sun Ce's bravery, now that I think about it, this decision is still very wise. However, all this has become a secret buried deep by Liu Xin, and he will not say it to anyone.

The battlefield was quickly cleared, and the bodies of their fallen comrades were tied to the ground on horseback. Now the weather is still hot, and it is impossible to bring them back to Dahan, but Liu Xin will still take them all the way forward, choose a place to cremate them at night, and then take their ashes back.

As for the corpses of the Kangju people, the Han army will not do anything except make up for it. This is the grassland, and it won't be long before the strong bloody smell attracts a large number of crows, vultures, wild dogs, and wild wolves, and after a few days, only a pile of bones remains, showing the world that there was once a terrible battle.
