Chapter Thirty-Six: Attacking the heart is the supreme thing

"Of course, the commander is only talented, the left minister is indeed talented, and he is the only candidate to assist the Ming monarch, Zhang Yi is willing to guarantee the head of the item, and after the matter is completed, the commander is still appointed by the left minister. Zhang Yi saw that it was almost over, and promised heavy benefits.

At this moment, Sun Xiang was completely moved! After hesitating for a moment, he said slowly: "How can you be sure that this move of the Huaxia army will be successful?"

"The commander is an immortal talent, with more than 100,000 Chinese troops to capture the western border with more than 300,000 troops, the commander and the dragon to help, with the thunder to destroy the world! Today's temple also supports the commander as the king. Zhang Yi completely threw out his hole cards.

Sun Xiang was completely stunned, no wonder the temple had been acting so weirdly lately!

"In this case, does Zuo Xiang still have concerns?"

Sun Xiang came back to his senses and said slowly, "What does Mr. Zhang want me to do?"

"Secretly contact the available cronies, and later, you naturally know. The overall situation has been decided, and Zhang Yi finally showed a smile.

Sun Xiang glanced at Zhang Yi deeply and bowed away.

Huaxia Barracks.

"Report!" the guard hurriedly entered the council hall and saluted, "Commander Qiyu, a letter from the West." ”

Ye Gucheng took the letter, looked at the number, and the corners of his mouth gradually showed a smile, what a Zhang Yi!

"The order, the three armies marched and advanced into Jiecheng. ”

"Yes!" the guard walked away quickly.

Jiecheng, the largest defensive fortress in the Western Regions, is also the last line of defense in the west of the Western Regions.

Therefore, Jiecheng has always been heavily defended, with 80,000 elite soldiers stationed, plus 600,000 troops from Shangguan Qi, with 680,000 troops, such a force is enough to deter the Chinese army.

But Shangguan Qi began to feel uneasy, not that he was worried about the Huaxia army, but about another army, Shangguan Jun's army of more than 500,000.

According to the agreement, Shangguan Jun's army should have arrived in Jiecheng a long time ago, however, scouts along the way came to report, and Shangguan Jun's army was not seen on the road.

The attentive generals began to speak, worried that Shangguan Jun would turn against the water, and take advantage of them to fight with the Huaxia army to reap the benefits.

This is also what Shangguan Qi is most worried about!

For a time, there was a dilemma, neither did he want the Chinese army to drive straight in, but he also did not want to fight alone and lose his troops.

The human heart is a very wonderful thing, and once he has a thought, his determination will be shaken.

Shangguan Qi learned that the Huaxia army was coming, and Shangguan Jun's army was delayed, and at the suggestion of the strategist, only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were left to order to defend to the death, and then, the whole army withdrew from the city and retreated to a plain hundreds of miles away to camp and wait for another army.

This move made the defenders of Jiecheng vomit blood, and the land was lost inch by inch, and the politicians did not want to retreat from the enemy, but were suspicious of each other.

After months of civil strife, the people were already struggling to make a living, and now the army is pressing, and they are still thinking about infighting!

At this moment, the soldiers defending the city were extremely disappointed with the rule of the Shangguan clan, and the morale of the army began to fluctuate.

A few days later, the Chinese army approached the city.

The defenders on the city wall looked at the black and overwhelming Huaxia army, and their hearts were even more panicked, of course, more afraid of the golden dragon.

The deeds of destroying several cities with the power of thunder have long been spread to the Western Regions Kingdom, and the advantage of the city wall seems to be gone in front of the golden dragon!

Ye Gucheng straddled the dragon's head, flew out of range, looked at the defenders on the city wall and said, "I am the commander of the Huaxia Kingdom, Ye Gucheng." The Western Regions country is already hopeless, you surrender, but you will not die, otherwise, the city will be broken and destroyed. ”

"There are all soldiers in the Western Regions who surrender without a fight, although I, Zhang, know that it is difficult to resist, but I will definitely not sit still. On the city wall, a general responded in a loud voice.

Ye Gucheng was not angry, and said indifferently: "The general can see clearly whether there are troops from the Western Regions in my Huaxia army." ”

Only then did the general defending the city discover that there were tens of thousands of surrendered troops in the Huaxia army.

In the surrender of troops, a general slowly stepped forward, crossed Ye Gucheng, ignored the archers who were waiting for the battle, looked up at the general on the city wall and said: "General Zhang, surrender! For the lives of the soldiers, surrender! The Huaxia army is a benevolent and righteous army, do not hurt the lives of prisoners, treat the people along the way, give food, the Western Regions Country, there is no help!"

The general guarding the city looked blankly at the generals under the city, this person, he also knew, once drank and talked together, was silent for a long time, and slowly ordered: "Open the city gate, abandon the weapon and surrender!"

The general on the side was shocked and exclaimed: "General think twice, in this way, we are the sinners of the Western Regions Country." ”

"Western Regions Country!" The general guarding the city had a twitch on his face, and said bitterly: "Is there still a Western Regions Country?"

The general fell silent for a moment.

"Open the gates!" the general slowly walked down the wall.

"Open the gates!"

The archers on the city wall gathered their bows one after another and walked down the city wall in silence.

The gates of the city slowly opened.

Ye Gucheng waved his hand, and the Huaxia army drove straight in.

To the surprise of the defending general, Ye Gucheng did not stay long after entering the city and continued to lead the army eastward, while the 180,000 defenders led by him continued to stay in Jiecheng.

At this moment, he was really happy and convinced of Ye Gucheng.

Hundreds of miles away from Jiecheng, there is a military camp.

"What? You mean, Shangguan Qi didn't participate in the war, and gave up Jiecheng for nothing?" Shangguan Jun was stunned for a moment.

"Returning to the king, the scout reward is indeed so. "The herald returned truthfully.

"Shangguan Qi!" Shangguan Jun was angry.

Zhang Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the plan is still going on normally, the Huaxia army is heading towards Shangguan Qi's army at the moment, and our army only needs to pull out slowly, and it can reap the benefits." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Jun immediately turned his anger into joy and ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army will be pulled." ”

"Yes!"

The herald walked away quickly.

On the plains, Shangguan Qi's army settled down.

"Zhang Qiu, you're going to kill you. Shangguan Qi retreated in a rage, he could never have imagined that the defenders would surrender to the enemy without resistance.

"King, the matter of surrendering to the enemy and surrendering troops can be dealt with afterwards, and now that the Chinese army is coming straight to our army, our army should immediately prepare for war. ”

Shangguan Qi's face was unkind and said, "Shangguan Jun, that thief has no news?"

"Returning to the king, there is no information on the movement of Shangguan Jun's army. ”

Shangguan Qi was suddenly short of breath, and said helplessly: "Order, all arms for war." ”

"Yes!"

On the plain, the two armies are far away from each other, the west side is the Chinese army with strict military discipline, and the east side is the 500,000 army of Shangguan Qi.

However, the golden dragon lying quietly still managed to cause panic among the Western Regions army.

Shangguan Qi watched the time pass minute by minute, but the army of the Western Regions was indifferent, and An Nai not only shouted: "The cavalry attacked. ”

A dull horn sounded.

Hundreds of thousands of cavalry from the Western Regions quickly outflanked from both sides, like a huge torrent overwhelmingly pressing towards the Huaxia army.

"Archer, prepare!"

Xuanyuan Xue gave an order, and tens of thousands of archers quickly stepped out of the ranks.

Ye Gucheng saw that it was almost over, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "Long Yin!"

A roar swept across the plains like a raging wind.

The galloping horses were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and in an instant, the cavalry on horseback was thrown out one after another.

"Shoot!"

The dense rain of arrows was like the scythe of death, frantically harvesting the lives of the cavalry of the Western Regions.

Shangguan Qi was dumbfounded, how to fight this battle?

Seeing that his side had suffered heavy casualties, his eyes turned red, and he roared violently: "The whole army is attacking." ”

"Kill!"

The army of the Western Regions swept away all over the mountains.

Ye Gucheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The whole army is attacking." ”

The beast cavalry group was like a tiger entering the flock, and for a while, the army of the Western Regions screamed again and again.

The infantry defense formation is not inferior at all, the slaves already have super lethality, and after Ye Gucheng's transformation and training, their combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of the orthodox Xuanyuan people.

Without the charging power of the cavalry, the army of the Western Regions began to fall like a ravaged bud.

Shangguan Qi was scared of being killed, and he was more distressed about the loss of military power, he was no better than Ye Gucheng, and he did not forget that there was Shangguan Jun's 500,000 army eyeing him.

Hurriedly Mingjin collected his troops and fled with his armor.

At this time, the casualties were even more severe, and they were pursued all the way by the Huaxia army, and they lost more than half of their troops.

When Shangguan Jun learned the news, he immediately burst into joy and ordered to speed up the march and outflank the Huaxia army.

However, seeing the Chinese army waiting for it, the scene of heavy casualties and collapse in the intelligence did not appear.

Shangguan Jun suddenly felt bad, and before he could make a move, a dagger was placed around his neck.

"Zhang Jiahao... Shangguan Jun seemed to realize something, and his face became extremely ugly.

When the generals saw that the king was being held hostage, their eyes immediately widened with anger, and they were about to draw their swords, but they were killed by the generals on the side.

"My name is Zhang Yi, not Zhang Jiahao!" At this moment, Zhang Yi was full of spirits, stared coldly at the overwhelmed army of the Western Regions and shouted: "Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, I will kill your king." ”

Shangguan Jun felt a pain in his neck, and he didn't care about being angry, so he hurriedly shouted at the soldiers: "Put down all your weapons." ”

Only then did hundreds of thousands of troops abandon their weapons.

The Huaxia army soon surrounded and completely controlled hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Western Regions.

Ye Gucheng patted Zhang Yi's shoulder and said indifferently: "From now on, you are the right minister of Huaxia Kingdom." ”

Zhang Yi was ecstatic and bowed down in gratitude.

"Sun Xiang!" Ye Gucheng looked at the very restrained old man standing in front of him, and said slowly: "Huaxia Guozuo Minister, I hope you will continue to be loyal to the country." ”

Sun Xiang was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly thanked him.

With the cooperation of Sun Xiang and the generals who surrendered the army, most of the hundreds of thousands of troops turned to Huaxia, of course, Shangguan Jun's personal soldiers would rather die than surrender, and Ye Gucheng was not in a hurry to deal with this, and escorted Shangguan Jun to Wangcheng together.

Ye Gucheng had enough troops, and he was like a bamboo all the way, passing the hurdles, and while pursuing the remnants of Shangguan Qi, he also went straight to the royal capital.

When the Huaxia army officially settled in the royal capital, it was a few months later.

The Shangguan clan that ruled the Western Regions Kingdom has completely become history, and the Western Regions Kingdom has also been divided with the decline of the Shangguan family, and the princes of the three parties have established themselves as kings.

The Western Regions Shenzhou has since opened an era of strife and war in four countries.
