Chapter 781: How about casualties?
In a battle outside Gaochang City, in addition to 1,000 Yanqi troops who fled, 7,000 were killed in battle, and more than 10,000 Yanqi troops surrendered, Du Yuan took the soldiers out and tied them up one by one, and was escorted into Gaochang City.
Huanmeng also just knew.
But Archini now knows that if he had known that the Sichuan army was so strong, the Yanqi people would not have the idea of fighting Gao Chang at all, and it is reasonable that Gao Chang would be quickly defeated.
Huan Meng knew that the Sichuan army was strong, but in today's battle, he had a new understanding, 20,000 Yan Qi troops, only 1,000 people ran away, and the casualties of the Sichuan army were minimal.
It's just that Huanmeng is still rational, no matter how strong the army is, it is impossible to leap over the city wall, to take Gaochang, even with the strength of the Sichuan army, it will take some time, at least to build siege equipment.
After listening to the words of the generals of the Sichuan army, Huan Meng knew that the Sichuan army took advantage of the civil strife and opened the gate of Gaochang with a vulture bones.
It turned out that he was blindly worried in the East Night, he led two thousand people this time, sacrificed hundreds of people, and the rest were injured, but it was a disservice, and Huan dreamed of being extremely depressed when he came here.
It seems that he came to the wrong place, and Huanmeng is also worried that Liu Zhang will blame himself, after all, the 1,000 Yanqi army that escaped, Huanmeng already knew that it was his responsibility, and the Sichuan army originally planned to annihilate the 20,000 Yanqi army.
Being blamed by an empire, even if it is a big country in the Western Regions, it is extremely stressful, not to mention an Eastern Night, as long as the Han people leave the Western Regions with a word of chagrin, the future days of the Eastern Night will be extremely difficult.
While Huan Meng hated himself, he was also worried, and only hoped that Liu Zhang would not blame Dongyeguo too much.
The battle outside Gaochang City was a complete victory. Liu Zhang did not convene Gaochang's people to discuss the matter. It's just that Dewey is still going to continue to rectify Gaochang. Huanmeng naturally didn't leave, not to mention leaving like this, would Liu Zhang be annoyed, he left like this before he understood Liu Zhang's attitude, and he couldn't sleep when he went back.
Liu Zhang didn't know that the more Huanmeng waited, the more worried he became, Liu Zhang was waiting for news from Xiao Furong and Su Lan, if he hadn't won the Yanqi royal family. It's not easy.
Now that Liu Zhang has been able to re-establish the Wuji Lieutenant Department, it will definitely be difficult to oppose Yanqi after being hit hard, but Liu Zhang needs money and food.
Not only Liu Zhang's own army needed food, but also those prisoners and the army directly under the command of the Wuji Lieutenant Department who was about to be reorganized, and the money was needed to integrate the army and rebuild the Wuji Lieutenant Department.
But Gaochang itself is not rich, although it is much more than Dongye, but it is still unbearable to take out so much money and food at once, Liu Zhang believes that Dongye will not be able to bear the thousands of captives, if he can't take the Yanqi royal family, he can't get the money and food of Yanqi, a big country. It is difficult to rebuild the Wuji Lieutenant Department.
Finally, a few days passed. The soldier came to report: "Lord, Xiao Furong and General Su Lan have taken the Yanqi King City, the Yanqi King, the princes and other royal family members have been captured, all the granaries of the Yanqi Mansion have been controlled, and the Yanqi King has ordered the whole country to surrender." ”
"Okay." Hearing the soldier's report, Liu Zhang finally slapped the table and stood up, always worried that Yanqi still had a certain army left to guard the royal city, so Xiao Furong and Su Lan's surprise attack would not be effective.
Now it seems that Yan Qi is really ambitious, and he set out to attack Gaochang City, but he was defeated by Xiao Furong and Su Lan.
In fact, it is no wonder that Yanqi people, after Yanqi was hit hard by Shache, there were not many troops that could have been dispatched, this time the troops were related to the national fortune of Yanqi, and the king of Yanqi was to restore Yanqi's influence and get rid of Shache's control.
For this war, the king of Yanqi had to pay all his might, how could the Yanqi people not know that a country like Cheshi likes to pick up cheap, if Yanqi and the enemy are both defeated, the former country of Cheshi will definitely jump out.
Therefore, Yanqi wants to send enough troops, and after defeating the enemy, it can also make the Che Division unable to covet it, so the King of Yanqi poured out his nest, and the royal city is not without remaining troops, but these troops are only to prevent other soldiers from the Western Regions from attacking the city, if it is an army from a country like Che Shi attacking the city, it can hold out for at least three days.
Three days is enough time for the Yanqi army to come back to help.
However, Su Lan and Xiao Furong's army is not a soldier of an army like Cheshi Country, especially the cavalry temporarily formed by Xiao Furong is Liu Zhang's personal soldiers, and the gap between them and Cheshi soldiers is equivalent to the gap between the national special forces and the Xiangyong.
Su Lan and Xiao Furong only took one day to take the royal city, and the Yanqi royal family was powerless to return to the sky, so they could only watch Xiao Furong and Su Lan lead the army into the palace, and then they knew that they were in the hands of the chariot master, which is the Dahamu of the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, which is the Han army at all.
Yanqi is a regional power, in the entire Western Regions, it is one of several big countries, but ranked behind, Yanqi does not dare to offend the Han, and is also accustomed to the rule of the Han, the royal family of the Western Regions saw that it was the Han army that broke through their capital, and their hearts felt much better.
The Yanqi royal family was taken, Liu Zhang suddenly became enlightened, and immediately convened the generals of Gaochang to discuss the matter, preparing to build the Wuji Captain's Department, seeing that Huanmeng had not left, Liu Zhang was slightly surprised, but it was better not to go, the reason why Liu Zhang raised those Cheshi soldiers was also to be incorporated into the army directly under the Wuji Captain's Department, and Huanmeng was needed to bring out the prisoners.
According to the previous idea, Dewey served as the captain of Wuji, and the general plan for the establishment of the Wuji Captain's Department, and Gaochang as the direct jurisdiction of the Wuji Captain's Department, controlled Yanqi, the former country of Cheshi, and more than a dozen other small countries.
Eight days later, the establishment ceremony of the Wuji Lieutenant Department was held in Gaochang, and all the royal families of the southern veins of the Tianshan Mountains must participate, and those who did not come were regarded as enemies of the Han Dynasty.
…………
After Xifeng and Ye Long led an army of 5,000 Che Divisions to sneak into the Eastern Night Kingdom, preparing to give a surprise attack on Dongye and rescue the captured Che Division soldiers, they would return to Gaochang to see the battle situation between Yanqi and the Han army and decide on the next move.
But later I found out that all the East Night Army was taken out by Huan Meng, and East Night is now an empty city.
Huanmeng led the army out to stealth, the car division got the news a day later, after getting the news, he scolded a few words, if he had known that Huanmeng had left with all the Eastern Night Army, then what else was sneaking, just attack the Eastern Night directly, and the journey in the past few days was very short.
After knowing that Dongye was an empty city, Xifeng did not hesitate to lead the army to march quickly, preparing to capture Dongye in one fell swoop.
The Che Shi no longer hides his traces, and was discovered by the Dongye people fifty miles away, reporting back to Huan Yao, Huan Yao was surprised, the Che Shi 5,000 people came to attack the East Night, even if the East Night army is there, it may not be an opponent, not to mention that the East Night is already an empty city now.
Huan Yao hurriedly organized the young women of Dongye and some teenagers over the age of twelve to defend the city, but this was simply a death, and Huan Yao knew that it could not be defended at all.
Huan Yao has already heard Huan Meng say that if a small country participates in a big power war in the east night, there will be more than good luck, that is, Huan Meng may not be able to defeat, and it is even likely to be defeated.
If my sister Huanmeng comes back with the remnants of the defeated army, only to find that the East Night has been occupied by the Cheshi, what kind of mood will it be?
"Is Dongye really going to die?" Huan Yao heard that the soldiers were still thirty miles away from the Che Shi Army, and her heart was sad, she didn't know that Huan Meng had her own plans, and she was able to send troops to Gaochang for the long-term consideration of Dongye.
Huan Yao only thought that Huan Meng sent troops to Gaochang because of his own plea, if he was killed by the Che Shi this time, it would be his own fault.
Thinking of this, Huan Yao felt pain in her heart.
The Che Shi Jun appeared in the field of vision, Huan Yao stood at the head of the city with an iron gun, Huan Yao had decided to die in the city before the Che Shi broke the city, and Huan Yao also knew that even so, he could not clear his name of the sin of the East Night Death.
Xi Feng and Ye Long came to the East Night City with five thousand troops, looking at the few people on the city wall, most of them were women and children, and they were very sure in their hearts, although the city wall of the East Night was really not very high, but if there were two thousand strong men guarding it, it would be very troublesome, and now these women and children, it would definitely not be able to stop the army of the car division.
When he remembered that in a small country in the east of the night, he dared to detain the car master and execute the person who was boiled to death, and he was indignant.
"Listen, the people of the city, you are limited to those who hand over my chariot master within one hour, the young woman goes to the left, the goods and food are placed on the right, and the rest of the people kneel to greet them, otherwise the army will break the city, and there will be no chickens and dogs left." Boiled up shouted angrily.
"Less nonsense, although the east night is small, it is better to be broken than to be complete." Huan Yao stepped onto the city, her iron spear raised, and the other women and children nervously held the weapons in their hands, although they were not trained, they would not surrender.
"Self-defeating." Xi Feng snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the Che Division Army launched an attack on the east night.
At this moment, a soldier of the Che Division came running from a distance and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Yanqi army has been defeated outside Gaochang City, and the Han army has won a great victory." ”
"What?" Xi Feng was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and looked at the soldiers with wide eyes: "How is this possible, how can an army of 20,000 people be defeated by the Han army?" ”
Unlike boiling the seal, Ye Long had expected that the Han army might win, and immediately asked the soldiers: "Did the Han army break Gaochang in advance?" ”
The soldier said: "Two days before the arrival of Yanqi, the Han army took advantage of the civil strife between Captain Wu Zhang Kuo and his own captain Dewey, broke Gaochang City, and annihilated Zhang Kuo, Yanqi Army arrived in Gaochang, it was already two days later, and the Han army fought with Yanqi Army outside Gaochang City. ”
"Zhang Kuo is really going back more and more, and he can be wiped out on the same day." Xi Feng said disdainfully, Zhang Kuo has 4,000 troops under his command, and he is the person who really controls Gaochang City, although Dewey has a lot of power in Gaochang, but he basically controls Tuntian District, and Zhang Kuo's forces are mainly in the city.
Zhang Kuo conspired with Dewey and controlled the city, but he didn't hold out for a day in the hands of 10,000 Han troops, and of course he disdained it.
Ye Long was a little surprised, he expected that the Han army would capture Gaochang in advance, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and asked urgently: "The Han army was defeated in Yanqi, what are the casualties?" (To be continued......)
