Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Conquer of the West
Western Regions Shenzhou.
Westside.
Zhao Kai looked at the content of the letter, laughed and said: "A barbarian is a barbarian, he can only kill and not know strategy, and he wants to resist our army with more than 100,000 reckless men. ”
The adjutant general on the side hurriedly flattered: "Congratulations to General Zhao on his victory, after this battle, the eldest prince will be happy, and the days when the general will soar are numbered!"
Zhao Kai was very useful, and said proudly: "Look at how I can annihilate these barbarians in one fell swoop, give orders, and speed up the march." ”
Huaxia Shangdu.
Several generals were plotting something in the room when the door was kicked open and a crowd of soldiers swarmed in.
The generals were shocked in their hearts, and looked at the person who led the troops, and said inwardly: "Yang Jianjun, what do you mean?"
"You took advantage of the commander's absence, plotted a rebellion, took it, and waited for the commander to return to the city to deal with it. ”
The leader waved his hand, and the soldiers tied up the generals with speed.
"Yang Jianjun, Ye Gucheng can't return to the city, as a defender of the Western Territory, you are willing to fall into the barbarians, and when the Western Army enters the city, your head will be hung on the city wall. A general shouted angrily.
The leader of the army was not angry, but waved his hand again. "Take it away. ”
At the same time, in all the wine shops, flower buildings, and music shops in Shangdu, a large group of elegant scholars and generals were escorted away by the sudden arrival of soldiers, including Li Jun!
After Gao Zizhong received the news, he hurriedly disguised himself and wanted to leave Shangdu on the grounds of going out of the city, but he didn't want to be caught by the wasps who were already guarding the city gate.
The first line of the plain, located thousands of miles away from Shangdu, is also the only way to Shangdu. It is named because there are plains as far as the eye can see.
The sky is clear and cloudless.
On the first line, the war horses neighed, and the two armies with a clear distinction were waiting for them.
On the left is the Western Frontier army in disorganized costumes, the most conspicuous being the thousands of golden regiments in the center.
The Golden Regiment was sent by the temple to avenge the destruction of the temple in Shangdu.
On the right is the Huaxia army in black armor, and there is a golden dragon lying on the side of the leader.
At first sight of the golden dragon, Zhao Kai was indeed startled, but he was relieved to think that it was just a beast, and he had an army of 200,000.
Of course, tens of thousands of beast cavalry still managed to arouse his slightest fear.
Whining!
A dull horn sounded suddenly.
Zhao Kai waved his hand, and tens of thousands of cavalry, led by the Golden Regiment, took the lead.
For a moment, the earth trembled and dust flew up.
"Archer, prepare!"
Xuanyuan Xuejiao shouted, and tens of thousands of archers stepped forward quickly, bending their bows and full of strings.
Xuanyuan Xue received the order in advance and saw that the cavalry was about to enter the firing range, so she did not give the order to release the arrows.
The corners of Ye Gucheng's mouth gradually flashed a sneer, and he said slowly: "Long Yin!"
The golden dragon suddenly bounced up to form an S shape, and in the next second, the bronze bell-like dragon's eyes glared, and the deafening dragon groan swayed.
At this moment, tens of thousands of cavalry were tragic, and the war horses were directly frightened, throwing out the cavalry on horseback, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
Ye Gucheng waved his hand.
The dull horn finally sounded.
"Shoot!"
The rain of arrows flooded the sky, killing the chaotic cavalry in an instant.
Without the charge of war horses, the mobility of the cavalry lost its effect, coupled with the congestion of men and horses, under several waves of arrow rain, there were heavy casualties, even if the members of the Golden Regiment were densely wrapped in armor, they could not withstand the endless sharp arrow attacks.
Zhao Kai was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he couldn't imagine that a dragon actually made his cavalry useless, and roared: "All the troops attack." ”
In the sound of the loud horn, more than 100,000 troops from the western frontier slaughtered the Chinese army.
Ye Gucheng raised his big hand, and the rain of arrows stopped suddenly, and immediately, he said coldly: "Lightning strike." ”
The golden dragon rushed into the nine skies with the dragon chant, and the sky suddenly darkened, and the clouds were thick.
The army of the Western Frontier began to panic, and they all looked up at the golden dragon above the sky, especially when they saw the thunder shining all over their bodies, they suddenly felt bad in their hearts.
Dense thunder and lightning raged wildly through the grasslands with an unparalleled roar, and in the lightning, large swaths of the Western Frontier army were reduced to ashes before they even had time to scream.
The thunder and lightning appeared quickly, disappeared faster, and the sky instantly returned to brightness, if it weren't for the golden dragon still soaring above the sky, the army of the Western Realm even thought that the scene that had just happened was an illusion!
The grasslands were burning, the land was scorching and cracking, and a huge black area appeared between the two armies.
The surviving armies of the Westlands finally realized what kind of creatures they were facing, and they became more aware of the horror of the legendary dragon.
With just one blow, more than 20,000 troops were reduced to ashes!
Panic began to erupt in the crowd, and many soldiers retreated.
Ye Gucheng saw that the shock and deterrence had an effect, waved his big hand, and said in a deep voice: "The whole army will attack." ”
The horn of the charge finally sounded in the Chinese army.
The Beast Cavalry led the cavalry to gallop towards the chaotic army of the West.
At the same time, the shield corps led by Xuanyuan also advanced in formation.
The two armies officially collided together, shouting and killing, screaming, and the sound of weapons clashing.
The terrifying combat power of the Beast Cavalry Regiment was also completely displayed in front of the Western Territory Army, and wherever the Beast Cavalry passed, the corpses flew off limbs, and even the members of the Golden Regiment, who were recognized as the strongest, were also bitten and thrown up by the fierce beasts.
The infantry battle array is like an iron wall, and no matter how many times the army in the west charges, it is impossible to break through this line of defense.
The defeat quickly appeared on the army of the Western Frontier, and more soldiers began to flee than bloody battles.
When Ye Gucheng saw this scene, his tense heart finally slowly relaxed, and he looked at the golden dragon lying listlessly on the side with a little distress.
This time, the reason why he was able to win more with less, the golden dragon played a certain role, of course, he has also deliberately preserved the strength of the golden dragon, at the very least, the dragon attack he has never used on the battlefield, and the lightning strike, which has only been displayed once on the western border, was strictly sealed afterwards.
Now, in order to completely deter the enemy army, he showed the strength of the golden dragon without reservation, and the mental defense line of the Western Territory army also collapsed completely, otherwise, no matter how brave and good the Huaxia army is, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties after this battle.
I have to say that Ye Gucheng's plan was very successful, and he was lucky to win the bet!
This battle lasted for a day and a night, and the Chinese army pursued hundreds of miles all the way, beheaded more than 100,000 people, and captured more than 50,000 soldiers in the west.
Of course, the Huaxia army also suffered more than 50,000 casualties, but such a record is enough to be proud of the entire Western Regions.
The Western Regions, the royal capital.
In the royal court, a tense aura of slaughter flowed slowly.
The civil and military officials on the left and right hung their heads and were silent.
"What about Zhao Kai?" the suppressed tone announced the anger of the person who spoke.
Shangguan Qi panicked in his heart, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Father, Zhao Kai has already died." ”
"Rice bucket, this is the general you keep saying, 200,000 troops, even more than 100,000 barbarians can't deal with it, what use do you want him? Zhao Kai's family members were all beheaded. ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Jun was overjoyed in his heart, obviously, his father was really angry this time.
Shangguan Qi was suddenly shocked, although this move was to vent his anger, but it greatly damaged his prestige, if he could not keep the family members of his relatives, he was afraid that no official would surrender to him in the future, and immediately hurriedly explained: "Father, the main reason for the defeat in this battle is that the intelligence of the defenders in the west is not accurate, and the barbarians relied on the divine dragon to summon thunder and lightning attacks to defeat our army, it is understandable, I hope my father will think twice." ”
Speaking of this, the civil and military officials all showed fear on their faces, unexpectedly, the legendary dragon is so terrifying, and the barbarians have the help of this divine beast, I am afraid that it is really difficult to deal with!
"There are extenuating circumstances, the crime is unforgivable, the matter has been decided, and it must not be discussed again. The person on the throne obviously couldn't accept the fact that the Western Realm was lost, his face sank, and he ordered again: "Feishu The other three realms will summon the princes of each realm to the royal city to discuss matters." ”
"Do as the king commands. A civil servant quickly retired.
The officials in the hall looked awe-inspired, knowing that a new big war was coming.
The western border, no, should now be called the country of China.
Ye Gucheng's original battle shocked the entire western border, and then, with a bang, he marched eastward, conquered one city after another, and implemented Chinese politics and law, but there were those who dissatisfied, bloody suppression, and a few months later, he unified the western territory as he wished, and changed his name to Huaxia Kingdom, however, he still claimed to be the commander!
Huaxia Shangdu.
The citizens of the city greeted the triumphant return of the Chinese army, of course, some people just adapted to the situation, not really supported, this kind of people, most of them because of the Chinese law to hurt their own interests.
The returned Huaxia army this time was only tens of thousands of people, and most of them were left at the border by Ye Gucheng to prevent the Western Regions army from counterattacking.
When Ye Gucheng returned to Ye Mansion, it was already dusk.
As soon as Li Yueli saw Ye Gucheng, she looked anxious and greeted her, this was the first time she had automatically looked for Ye Gucheng since the fall of the capital.
Ye Gucheng seemed to know what Li Yueli was doing, and took the lead in speaking: "Let's eat first!"
Li Yueli was slightly stunned, and then bowed and retreated.
Ye Gucheng silently looked at Qianying in the distance, and his expression became a little complicated.
The dinner was very rich, and the most rare thing was that most of the dishes were made by Li Yueli herself, which was also the first time that Ye Gucheng knew that Li Yueli could cook, and the taste was not bad.
In the dining hall, there are only two people, Ye Gucheng and Li Yueli, the servants who usually serve on the side are not there today, of course, Li Jun is not present.
Ye Gucheng ate very seriously, and during the banquet, he didn't say a word, as if all his attention was on the meal.
Li Yueli has been waiting, and she has been enduring, however, anxious, she still couldn't help but slowly speak: "Ye Gucheng, please, let my brother go, okay?
"Don't you still have two sisters?" Ye Gucheng did not raise his head, and even his eyes did not fluctuate at all.
Two sisters!
Li Yueli smiled bitterly and said slowly: "When they heard that the Huaxia army was coming, they fled with their husbands, and I don't know where they are now!"
In fact, there is another point, Li Yueli did not say it explicitly, she and her two sisters basically have no feelings at all, and the closest is only her younger brother Li Jun.
And what she cares about the most, in addition to her father, is only her younger brother! Now that her father is dead, and her only remaining brother is in prison, if something really happens to her brother, she is afraid that she will never have the face to face her father who died in battle!
