Chapter 1005 Great Wu's Western Expedition and Destruction of Guishuang VII

The capital of the Kushan Empire, Fulousha.

The city was in a bleak situation, and when the people of the Central Plains were approaching this thousand-year-old city from the north and south, the people of Kushan were in chaos, and the prices were rising, and there was chaos everywhere.

The soldiers in the city were also sad and demoralized.

"Can we defeat the Central Plains?"

"They're too strong, how can they fight?"

"I don't know if His Majesty the King has a good strategy to force these Central Plains people back?"

There are only more than 15,000 elite Kushan troops left in the city, but after one defeat after another, their morale has been weak below freezing, and they are panicked and have no intention of fighting.

The population of the Kushan Empire is nearly five million, and when the soldiers and horses under its command were at their strongest, there used to be 200,000 elites, but the national strength has weakened in recent years, and the elite soldiers in the formation are only in the early hundreds of thousands.

Since the Wu army logged in, the long drive went straight in, in the battle of Minagara, defeated 30,000 Guishan elites, in the battle of Wangshe City, the Guishan army was defeated, and the Guishan army in Modala City was killed by Zhou Tai and the whole army was annihilated......

In the past few years of battles, the Guishan army has suffered heavy casualties, and almost all the generals who can fight and fight have been killed.

Today, only tens of thousands of soldiers remain.

In the splendid palace, Vesudeva I sat decadently on the throne, and the light in his eyes seemed to be disillusioned.

"Great Ancestor of the Great Moon Clan, I'm Vesudeva sorry for you!"

His reverent gaze stared at the most important huge Buddha statue in the palace, and there was a trace of the sorrow of the emperor who destroyed the country and was sorry for the ancestors.

……

On a plain hundreds of miles away from the southeast of Fulou Shacheng, a camp tent connected to one top stretched for ten miles, and was built into a large camp of the Wu army covering a radius of ten miles.

Above the gate, the highest in the center is a Wuzi golden dragon battle flag, and the side battle flag is the exclusive battle flag of the Sea Eagle Battalion. Flying in the wind, under the scorching sun, it looks lifelike.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

The generals of the Sea Eagle Battalion gathered together, lingering around the sand table depicting the terrain of Fulousha, and were discussing the upcoming battle.

"General, I don't think we can wait here any longer!"

A division commander stepped forward. With hope in his eyes, he looked at the main general Zhou Tai, and arched his hand: "Han Sui is not a Wu person, he has now entered the Western Regions Protectorate, with his soldiers and horses, it is not difficult to win a piece of the sky in the Western Regions, whether he will go south, or whether he can go south, it is really difficult to determine." We can't put our hopes in Him now! ”

"That's a good word!"

"We can only believe in ourselves, and we really can't trust Han Sui too much!"

One by one, the generals seconded the proposal.

Let them put their hope on Han Sui, they were reluctant in the first place, and now they have been waiting patiently for more than half a month, but there is no news at all, and they are even more unhappy.

There are not many Guishan soldiers and horses in Fulou Shacheng, they can eat it, why do they have to wait for Han Sui's soldiers and horses to go south?

"It's June now. If there is no news from the north, we really can't afford to wait any longer. It's time to storm up! ”

Zhou Tai groaned for a while, nodded, and said loudly.

If they wait, they will lose their fighters, after all, the Kushan Empire is not without a chance to turn over, once they put down their bodies and unite with the Dayue clan tribe in the Flower Thorn Zimo region. It can still control the entire northern part of Kushan.

"General, this is a strategy about our army's strong attack on Fulousha!"

Zhuge Liang handed out a dossier: "If we attack, we can only fight hard, concentrate our troops and horses in one place, and capture the city gate with a tough battle momentum!" ”

Two plans they had already made early in the morning. The first plan was to attack from the north and south, and use Han Sui's troops and horses to force out the Guishan army.

The second plan is to storm Fulou Shacheng.

The casualties of this plan are much larger, and even if they can successfully take Fulousha, the officers and men of the Wu army will also pay more than four figures in casualties.

"Time doesn't wait for me, and now we can only attack!"

Zhou Tai looked at the strong attack strategy planned by Zhuge Kongming, and his eyes gradually became resolute: "Pass on my military order......

Before his words could fall, a voice from outside directly interrupted his order.

"General, the people of the Jinyi Guard ask to see you!"

A guard hurried from outside, whispering a message.

"Please come in!"

When Zhou Tai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the military order that was about to be issued paused, his eyes lit up, and there was a hint of hope in his expression.

"Report to General Zhou Tai, there is already a great news from the north, Yan Xing, the general under the command of Han Sui, personally led five thousand cavalry, from its Qiancheng to the south, has crossed the Green Ridge Mountains, and entered the area of the Kushan Empire from the territory of the Great Yue Clan!"

Jinyi Wei Guishan Qianhu opened the big tent, said to Zhou Tai, and said: "And General Yan Xing is very strong, after he arrived at the territory of the Kushan Empire, not only did he make the momentum of the army moving south, he also used one day to conquer Marakanda City, his strong forces pressed on the Guishan Heavy City Lan Clan City, suppressed all the troops of Guishan in the north, and even the Dayue Clan in the Huathornzimo region did not dare to move!" ”

"Okay, Yan Xing's battle should be recorded as the first merit!"

Zhou Tai looked overjoyed and drank out.

"What a Yan Xing!"

"This has helped us a lot!"

"This battle will definitely destroy the Kushan Empire!"

The generals were a little excited.

If they were still a little worried before, after Yan Xing suppressed the Kushan army in the north, there would be no suspense in this battle, and the Kushan Empire would have perished.

"It seems that we have underestimated Yan Xing's ability!"

Zhuge Liang squinted slightly and said in a low voice.

"Yan Xing is a fierce general in Xiliang, although he is not very famous in the Central Plains, but he can make Han Sui rely on him as a confidant, and single-handedly support Han Sui's hegemony, he is by no means an ordinary person!"

Zhou Tai smiled and added: "But now he will be a sharp knife of our Great Wu in the Western Regions, invincible!" ”

Yan Xing's southward movement is enough to show Han Sui's intentions.

"Yan Xing is indeed good, I don't evaluate his personal strength, but his leadership is three points stronger than we expected, and he has taken the initiative from the very beginning. Step by step, the effect is much better than we expected! ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes stared at the terrain around Fulou Shacheng on the sand table, and his eyes became sharper and sharper: "This time, the Guishan King of Fulou Shacheng shouldn't be able to sit still!" ”

"General, the scout has just received news, and there is some change in the gates of Fulousha!"

At this time, another soldier walked into the camp, this is this scout commander. He bowed his head and said, "The scouts of the Kushan Army are constantly searching for movements outside the city, and they seem to be probing the movements of our army!" ”

"General, so the snake is coming out of its hole!" When Zhuge Liang heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Kong Ming, now we can do it, I can listen to you and hold it for a long time!"

Zhou Tai looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "You come." How should we fight this battle now, use the smallest casualties to destroy the Kushan Empire, this is my goal, as long as I can achieve my goal, how you say to fight, how to fight? ”

"This battle is not difficult to fight, as long as you figure out the strategic goal. Leave the elite of the Kushan Army behind and release the Kushan King! ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment. Said.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Tai frowned.

"The soldiers and horses of the Kushan army must be left behind, they must either surrender or be killed, and they must not be allowed to escape from Fulousha, lest they have the opportunity to make a comeback, once they are allowed to escape. It will definitely threaten the safety of my Kushan Governor's Palace, after all, the land of Kushan is also mountainous and watery, if they lead the elite to go to the deep mountains and forests, they will not have time to come out and take a walk. Then we're busy! ”

Zhuge Liang analyzed in detail and said: "As for King Guishan, it is useless for this person to stay, let him escape, it is best to escape into the Rest Empire, this is beneficial to us, he wants to send troops to the Rest Empire, then won't he be famous?" ”

"It's still thoughtful!"

Zhou Tai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhuge Liang with some admiration, Zhuge Liang thought that he was longer than him, he was still staring at the Kushan Empire, and Zhuge Liang's gaze had already extended to the Rest Empire.

With a straight look, he took out the command military flag and issued an order to everyone: "Pass on my military order, the first and second divisions of Haiying will be drawn immediately, and within one day, the troops will be re-established under Fulou Shacheng, let go of the west gate and the north gate, and the south gate and the east gate will be blocked at any cost!" ”

"No!"

The two division commanders ordered the military flag, and then took the order.

……

In the early morning of June 23, the last battle of the Great Wu Dynasty to exterminate the Kushan Empire was fought under the Fulousha City.

"Kill!"

"Kill it!"

"Sons, open up territory for Great Wu, benefit the common people for Your Majesty, and kill it!"

The soldiers of the Wu army had already launched the most powerful attack at the beginning, without the slightest temptation, and the siege equipment that had been stored for a long time was constantly brought out and constantly put into battle.

Faced with the humiliation of destroying the country, the Kushan soldiers rose up and fought one by one.

Although the language of the two places is not comprehensible, there is only you living and dying on the battlefield, and the howls on the battlefield are not difficult to understand for the soldiers on both sides, and the Guishan soldiers in the city are also screaming and constantly fighting back.

The bloody battle continued, but it soon became one-sided.

"Is the King of Kushan still in the city now?"

Zhou Tai's tall body stood on the highest position outside the city, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the solidity of Fulou Shacheng, and asked.

He didn't expect King Kushan to be so tenacious.

At this time, he was still holding on to his country, which made Zhou Tai have to face the counterattack of the Guishan army.

"Report to the general, in the past few days, Fulousha has broken through the scattered teams, most of them are ministers of Guishan, and the king of Guishan should still be in the city!"

A brocade-clothed guard stood beside Zhou Tai and said: "And there is news that he has forcibly recruited 20,000 young men in the city to be soldiers guarding the city!" ”

"It seems that this King of Guishan is not dead in the heart of the Yellow River, he still wants to have a fluke in his heart, hoping that with the elite soldiers of Guishan, he can hold Fulousha, he doesn't want to be a king who destroys the country and flees the world, but I don't believe how long he can survive!"

Zhou Tai said coldly: "Come, press the Fifth Division as well, be a little harder, and put a little pressure on the city gate!" ”

"No!"

"By the way, about the direction of Lan City, can the Guishan Army return to the south?"

Zhou Tai thought for a moment and asked.

Lan City is located in the north of the Guishan City, this city still has a part of the elite Guishan army, if this force of soldiers and horses goes south, it will cause great casualties to the main force of the Wu army that is attacking.

"General, the thousands of elites of General Yan Xing used straw people as camouflage, beating drums and creating momentum, forming a formation of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, pressing on the hillside outside the Lan Clan's City, the Guishan Army in the Lan Clan's City did not dare to move lightly!" Zhuge Liang reported in a low voice.

"Yan Xing is really not a general, he is brave and strategic!"

Zhou Tai's eyes were bright, this Yan Xing was indeed a good general, and at this time, he could still suppress the Guishan army in Lan City, which was very beneficial to taking Fulousha.

"Report!"

A herald came on horseback.

"Say!"

"Report to the general, half an hour ago, in the direction of the West Gate, the three thousand soldiers of the Kushan army broke through and there were one thousand elite lion cavalry, the lion cavalry is the escort of the Kushan royal family, and the scout thinks that the Guishan king should be among them!"

The herald bowed his head and said.

"Haha, in vain I thought he would rather die than escape, it seems that this King of Guishan is still afraid of death, and finally he can't stand it anymore and wants to run away!"

Zhou Tai sneered.

Zhuge Liang's tense face also relaxed, and he smiled: "General, it's okay if he runs away, but the soldiers under his command can't run out of the third and eighth divisions, but they have been waiting for a long time!" ”

"Pass on my military order, the third and eighth divisions will attack, pursue behind them, at any cost, leave their main soldiers, and definitely not let the lion cavalry escape from the territory of Kushan, but let the King of Kushan escape, it is best to force him to go west, wait for him to enter the territory of the Rest Empire, and release him!"

"No!"

The herald nodded, then turned on his horse and rode away.

"Kong Ming, here you are in control of the overall battle situation, I personally led the troops to attack Fulou Shacheng, although the King of Guishan fled, but the most elite elephant cavalry of the Guishan Empire is still resisting, we can't take them, we have suffered heavy casualties!"

Zhou Tai picked up the long knife and killed.

The more elite of the Kushan Empire were the lion cavalry and elephant cavalry, and the lions and elephants were trained as cavalry mounts, which could not be compared with the Central Plains.

Although the Jiaozhou battalion has an elite war elephant cavalry regiment, it is still somewhat inferior to the elephant cavalry of the Kushan Empire.

This is still the training method of elite cavalry left by the Mauryan Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

In the past few years, under the attack on the Kushan Empire, under these two cavalry, the Wu army has suffered a lot of losses, so Zhou Tai did not dare to underestimate it at all.

……

As soon as the King of Kushan fled, the courtiers of the Kushan Empire also began to flee one after another, and the hearts of the soldiers defending the city began to scatter, and they began to gradually lose the morale of the battle.

This battle, under the leadership of Zhou Tai, only lasted for a day and a half, and ended on the afternoon of June 25.

The three fierce generals of the Kushan Empire defending the city, one was killed, one was captured, and one chose to surrender to the Wu army, and the tens of thousands of elite Guishan troops in the city collapsed in less than a day, and the Wu army drove straight in.

In the early morning sunshine of June 26, the army of Wu entered the city for a review, and under the eyes of countless Kushan people, occupied the palace of the Kushan Empire.

On June 28, the Kushan Governor's Palace entered the city to pacify the people.

On the first day of July, King Vesudeva I of Kushan led hundreds of remnants of his army to enter the Sabbath Empire through the city of Sestan, and the lord of the city of Sestan of the Sabbath Empire took in the King of Kushan.

On July 4, Wu Jun and Yan Xingbing joined forces with Lan Clan City and annihilated the Kushan army in Lan City in one fell swoop, and Hassan, the lord of Lan Clan of the Kushan Empire, was killed in battle.

On July 10, the Wu army captured the last city of the Kushan Empire, Mulu City.

On July 15, Lu Dai, the governor of Guishan of the Great Wu Dynasty, took Fulou Shacheng as the center, and pasted the proclamation of the Great Wu Dynasty in all the cities in the land of Guishan, announcing the official end of the Guishan Empire in the world. (To be continued.) )

PS: I caught a cold a few days ago, I thought I would cover it in the quilt and sweat all over it, but my throat was inflamed, nasal congestion, brain fever, sore throat, and I was uncomfortable.
