Chapter 666: Turtle Victory
In addition to its own well-trained possession, the Yan army's possession of more advanced weapons was also a factor that could not be ignored. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Over the years, with the strong support of Weishuo, steelmaking technology has been greatly developed.
There is often such a scene on the battlefield: the Wusun people hold scimitars to resist, but they are split into two pieces by the oncoming Yan army iron cavalry with sabers.
In less than an hour, the cavalry group of the Western Regions gradually showed its decline. The two cavalry forces in the north and south, like a torrent of angry tides, broke the shore, surging and approaching the king of Wusun in the cavalry formation of the coalition army.
Originally, the king was still hesitating left and right, thinking about whether to withdraw the army, but suddenly saw the banner of King Wusun falling, and saw his own family members roaring in chaos, and suddenly had a sense of fear, and immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat.
The enemy and us have long been mixed together, and as a result, as soon as the king withdraws, the enemy's formation is in chaos, and they can no longer echo each other.
The Yan army's iron cavalry did not need the order of the main general at all, and immediately gathered into a torrent, and launched an outflanking pursuit from both wings.
At this time, it is the setting sun, under the sunset, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and the people and horses are vast. The iron cavalry of the Yan army swept through the Tianshan Mountains like a storm, and the cavalry of the Western Regions Alliance Army was like a cloud that had been torn apart, flying all over the sky and unable to help itself.
……
"King, we have won!" Wen Qiao and Lu Chang shouted excitedly.
"Yes, we won!"
Wei Shuo muttered to himself, his eyes were firmly fixed on the soldiers of the Yan Army who were chasing the north on the battlefield, and the heart that was originally hanging was finally put back in his stomach.
Although the results of the battle have not yet been counted, judging from the countless prisoners of the Western Regions on the battlefield, the main force of the coalition forces in this battle was almost completely wiped out.
"This battle will completely defeat the ambitions of the countries in the Western Regions to try to resist, and as long as they are managed well, it won't be long before this place becomes the inherent territory of China."
"King, will the army hurry up and send troops back to Gaochang next? Tens of thousands of troops from Gaoche and Cheshi Houguo have been attacking Gaochang for half a month, and the ministers are worried that Zhou Fu and Li Bai will not be able to hold on. ”
"Well, that's true! After the return of the generals, the second phase of the operation will be launched immediately after a short rest. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Shuo raised his eyes and looked into the distance and continued: "Now that the main force of the Western Regions Alliance is gone, we should take this opportunity to immediately wave our troops to capture the entire Western Regions. Here's what I thought: divide the army into three, one of which is led by Yang Hu, with Ran Zhan as the vanguard, cross the Tianshan Mountains to the north, attack the Wusun Kingdom, and then sweep the Cheshi Houguo from west to east. ”
The other was handed over to Yao Yisheng to command, mainly cavalry, and immediately returned to Gaochang. After relieving the siege of Gaochang, the garrison of Gaochang immediately waved its division to the northwest, advancing east and west at the same time as Yanghu, and attacking the rear country of the Che division on both sides. ”
"The remaining part of the troops will be handed over to Deng Yue to continue to advance westward, eliminate Shule, and fight until the Green Ridge!"
"Finally, send an order to Zhengchang, telling him to be responsible for conquering the entire southern provinces, and then join Deng Yue in the Green Mountains."
"It seems that the king wants to count the armies at the same time and take the entire Western Regions in one fell swoop!" Lu Chang touched his chin and said.
"Will the two Qing families feel that they are taking a risk?"
"How so? Now that the 200,000 Western Regions coalition troops have been swept away, the people of all countries are panicking, as long as the large army is coming to the city, are they afraid that all countries will not raise their hands to surrender? ”
Wei Shuo, Wen Qiao, Lu Chang and others had just discussed the next march strategy, and the generals in charge of the pursuit returned one after another. Almost everyone has an excited look on their faces, which shows that everyone has gained.
Indeed, you must know that there were twenty or thirty kings who participated in the war alone, and even if it was averaged, each general could be divided into four or five. Therefore, in the pursuit, almost every general captured a few kings and returned.
Of course, due to the size of the country, the king also has the distinction of dignity and inferiority, and the kings of small countries such as Yuli and Shache are certainly not as important as the kings of large countries such as Khotan and Qiuzi.
Looking at the lords of the countries who were escorted back by the generals, Wei Shuo smiled and said, "Each of you has gained a lot!" ”
"Hahaha, King Hongfu, this battle has gained a lot! Among them, Hongwu had the best luck, not only captured several kings of small countries, but also captured the king of Wusun with his own hands, and made a great achievement. ”
General Yang laughed! Returning to the king, the last general Ran Zhan came to restore his life! Although Ran Zhan said politely, he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.
"Have you caught Qiuzi, Wusun, Khotan and other powerful lords?" Although even if someone escaped the pursuit of the Yan army, it would be impossible to make a big wave, Wei Shuo still hoped to capture as many country lords as possible in order to reduce the resistance to the future attack on the Western Regions.
"King Yu, except for the lord of Shule who fled in advance, and the king of more than a dozen small countries who died in battle, the rest of the lords of Wusun, Qiuzi and other countries have been captured and are waiting for the king to deal with them."
"Good! Well done, everybody! In this battle, our army can win a complete victory, all of which are your contributions, and when the general trend of the Western Regions is determined in the future, the widow should personally congratulate you. ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Leng Buding came out of everyone's mouth, Wei Shuo was stunned on the spot, and before he could react, all the generals and soldiers present knelt on the ground one after another, shouting long live.
"You...... What are you doing here? ”
"The king is in trouble, he is against strong enemies outside, creating an unprecedented prosperous era in China, and he will be the emperor immediately and rule all the people!"
"Please enthrone the king, that is, the emperor!"
Faced with the sudden change, Wei Shuo didn't know how to react. He was silent for a few breaths, and his eyes skimmed over Wen Qiao, Lu Chang, Yang Hu, Ran Zhan, Xun Guanniang, Deng Yue, etc., feeling the eagerness of everyone to hope that he would ascend the throne.
If his expectations were correct, the scene in front of him must have been written by Wen Qiao and Lu Chang, and maybe it was also related to the other cabinet scholars sitting in the rear, but I don't know when they started planning.
Wei Shuo took a few deep breaths, and soon made a decision, and said loudly: "Spread the will of the widow, and order the cabinet to start preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and after the pacification of the Western Regions, the widow will immediately take the throne of the emperor and rule over all the people." ”
"The king is wise!" Hearing this, everyone suddenly became excited, and everyone knew that once Wei Shuo ascended the throne and became emperor, they would all be the founding heroes of the Dayan Empire, and they would go down in history in the future.
"Okay, the matter of claiming the emperor will be handed over to the cabinet for the time being, and then I will seize the time to take the Western Regions."
"Please command the king, and the last general should go to the soup and die forever."
……
After cleaning the battlefield, after preliminary statistics, the Yan army wiped out nearly 200,000 Western Regions coalition troops in this battle, and few escaped. The lords of the six great powers, including the king of Qiuzi and the king of Wusun, were all captured.
What made Wei Shuo even happier was that the casualties of the Yan army in this battle were extremely small, especially for the infantry, the casualties were almost negligible. Only the cavalry lost thousands, but they were all bearable.
Soon after the war, Wei Shuo moved his base camp to Quci City, where he planned to stay for some time to come in order to deal with the affairs of the Western Regions.
After settling down, Wei Shuo immediately arranged a new task for the generals, and he made time to meet with the captured lords of various countries.
Walking into the room where the prisoners were held, Wei Shuo saw more than a dozen Western Regions lords sitting on the ground with pale faces, and the injured among them were still humming and chirping.
"Ahem!" When everyone heard the sound, they looked up and saw a young man standing in the doorway, not knowing why. Only King Qiuzi's mind moved, and he immediately thought that the young man in front of him was probably the famous King Yan.
Chen An saw that everyone saw Wei Shuo motionless, and immediately became furious, stepped forward and shouted: "My king is here, why don't you hurry up and salute?" ”
As soon as everyone heard that King Yan was coming, coupled with the mighty and majestic Chen An holding the ring-headed sword, they suddenly shook, got up with a grunt, and fell to the ground, even the wounded who were still moaning just now did not dare to make a single movement, for fear of being angered.
"The king spares my life, I am willing to surrender!" With the exception of a few diehards, most of the lords of the country bowed their heads and begged for mercy.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth: "Now that I think of surrendering, what did I do earlier?" My Yan country pays attention to blood for blood and tooth for tooth, since you have chosen to fight by force, then you have to suffer the consequences of this. ”
"I came here today, just to tell you that from today onwards, the Western Regions will enter a new era! A new era created by my Yan Kingdom! And you will never have the chance to witness the future of the Western Regions again! (To be continued.) )
