Chapter 115: Dawan Kingdom, wolf smoke rises

Dawan border fortress, the Western Regions Protectorate set up a number of beacons, each beacon by a few to dozens of Han soldiers guarded, once there is an enemy cavalry attack, immediately light the beacon, remind the rear city.

"I don't know where I've gone, and I haven't seen Daduhu for a long time."

"We're a little soldier, and we still want to see Lord Dadu?"

"That's not necessarily, when I was fighting with the Mongols before, I also saw Lord Dadu with my own eyes."

"It's been a long time since the Mongols are at war with our Western Protectorate. The country of Dawan has not been conquered for at least five years. ”

More than a dozen Han troops stationed at one of the beacons had already slackened.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions conquered the Dawan Kingdom for several years and regarded the Dawan Kingdom as its own territory.

Suddenly, the cowhide wine sac in the hand of the Han army scout standing on the second-level wooden arrow tower fell, and the wine spilled all over the ground.

The Han scout's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief: "Enemy horseman!" ”

"Quick, light the beacon!"

The rest of the Han soldiers who were chatting immediately picked up their weapons, and the veterans of the Han army lit the wolf smoke of the beacon!

At the end of the horizon, a thin black line appears.

The Khitan military general Yelu Dashi Golden Sword and Horse led a group of Turkic cavalry to attack the Dawan Kingdom, in an attempt to break through the Dawan defense line and reconquer the Western Regions Protectorate!

This is the second time that Ogedai and Yelu Dashi have tried to conquer the Western Regions Protectorate!

Last time, the combination of Ogedai and Yelu Dashi and Temujin attacked the Western Regions in a big way, but was repelled by the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire princes.

This time, the Ogedai accumulated enough population and troops to send Yelu Dashi to launch a provocation against the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

"Conquer the Dawan Kingdom, and the population of the Dawan Kingdom is all slaves of your rank."

Yelu Dashi drew his saber and flooded the beacon with 50,000 Turkic cavalry, and the Han soldiers stationed at the beacon fled after lighting the wolf smoke.

"Master Wu, look, there's wolf smoke in the southwest!"

"Light the beacon fire, send cavalry, and notify Lord Huo Quai!"

The Han army stationed in the nearby beacon immediately lit the wolf smoke, and the scout cavalry galloped to the camps!

For a time, Dawan was in flames!

"General, there is a large number of cavalry in the southwest!"

"Come with me to meet the enemy!"

In addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses scattered in various parts of the border fortress, Huo Qubing also had 50,000 cavalry in his hands, and when he learned that Yelu Dashi led the Turkic cavalry to attack the Dawan Kingdom controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate, he immediately met the battle.

"The Turkic cavalry is coming, and the cities are closed and they are not allowed to leave the city!"

The class who presided over Dawan's internal affairs was sweating profusely.

He had already smelled the breath of the Wokotai forces invading the Western Regions Protectorate in advance, and as a famous general with both civil and military skills, his sense of smell was naturally very keen. The worst fears are still happening.

Wokotai and Yelu Dashi accumulated strength, and chose the time when Chutian's forces were fully attacking Shu to send troops, and at this time, most of the Western Regions protected Huo An and were not even in the Western Regions.

"The timing of Yelu Dashi's choice is simply absolute, if it is not handled well, it will lose the Dawan Kingdom, with the current strength of Wokotai and Yelu Dashi, it will be more difficult to cross the green ridge again in the future...... Even if you can't hold the Dawan Kingdom, you have to delay as much time as possible...... Come on, gather 70,000 troops in Guishan City, and ask Chen Tang to come to help me! ”

Ban Chao felt that it was necessary for him to personally send troops.

The king of Dawan Kingdom, who was supported by Huo An, and a group of nobles of Dawan Kingdom panicked, Guishan City has been sealed by the Han army, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the war is about to break out.

Rumors spread in the city of Guishan that the second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Ogedei, had sent a million-strong army to attack the Great Wan Kingdom.

Thinking of the terrifying Mongolian cavalry, Mo Cai had to ask Ban Chao, who was preparing for war, on behalf of the interests of the nobles of Dawan Kingdom: "Ban Chao, it is rumored in the city that the Mongolian Khan personally conquered Dawan, and there are millions of cavalry. Our Dawan has a population of less than two million, and the number of young and strong soldiers is not as large as the number of soldiers in Ogedai...... Moreover, the Mongol and Turkic generals, many of them may slaughter the city......"

"Mo Cai, don't panic, this is just a temptation of Wokotai. He occupied so much territory that the princes of the princely states of India and the nobles of the five divisions of Silica Frost were dissatisfied with Ögedai, and the main force of Ögedai did not dare to leave the Indian peninsula easily. ”

Ban Chao's understanding of the situation was amazing, and when Yelu Dashi spread rumors that the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom put pressure on the king of the Great Wan Kingdom to demand that the Western Regions Protectorate withdraw its troops from the Great Wan Kingdom in order to ensure the safety of the Great Wan Kingdom, Ban Chao judged that this was not the main force of Wokotai.

Ban Chao continued: "Wu Cai, you are the king of the Dadu Protector to support the throne, if our Han army retreats from the Dawan Kingdom, those nobles who are ready to move may kill you to tie up with the Turks, and when the time comes, the Turks will set up a new general." ”

It rained down.

What Ban Chao said was right, without Huo An's support, he would not have been able to ascend to the throne of Dawan at all, and his power came from the Han army stationed in Guishan City.

As soon as Ban Chao leaves, most of the nobles of Dawan Kingdom will set up a new king.

"Don't worry, if Yelu Dashi wants to take the Dawan Kingdom, he has to pass my pass. As a general guarding the border, he must be loyal and dutiful. ”

The personal soldiers put on iron armor for Ban Chao, and Ban Chao personally sent troops to support Huo Quai.

Huo Qubing was only one person, and the Turkic cavalry that attacked the Dawan Kingdom may not be just Yelu Dashi's soldiers and horses.

Although Yelu Dashi is a Khitan, there are only a few Khitan cavalry, and the only large Khitan tribe is arranged by Chutian to breed war horses for the empire in the Monan grassland.

The cavalry of Yelu Dashi was the Central Asian Turkic cavalry that had taken refuge in him.

A second-class town was breached by the cavalry of Jerodashi, and the Turkic cavalry plundered the city.

Jerodashi had no intention of stopping it.

In "Lord", in addition to the characteristics that can quickly restore morale, the barrage can also restore morale.

The negative effect of raiding is that it will lead to a decrease in the security and morale of a city, the destruction of various buildings, and even a decrease in level, such as a level 5 blacksmith shop, which has a chance to be reduced to a level 4 blacksmith shop.

Generally speaking, if you want to occupy a piece of land for yourself, the military generals with troops will not easily indulge the plundering of the army, otherwise a prosperous city may be in ruins.

Order the slaughter of a city, or even destroy a city entirely.

However, the current Yelu Dashi is fighting in the sphere of influence of the Western Regions Protectorate, so he will not show mercy.

Yelu Dashi watched the entire second-level town fall into a sea of flames, and was indifferent.

Those who want to achieve great things can afford to pay some price.

A Turkic general took the initiative to lead his troops to loot.

Yelu Dashi said to the Turkic general: "Jieli, you lead the cavalry of your headquarters and guard all around. ”

"Command."

The Turkic generals took thousands of elite Turkic cavalry, and this group of Turkic cavalry was a little dissatisfied, they had not looted enough property.

Jerodashi was unusually cautious.

The Western Regions Protectorate has 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the quality of the generals is not low.

Yelu Dashi thought that he was not as good as Huo Quai, but he adopted a strategy of dividing his troops.

Dawan, a small city with a population of tens of thousands, was broken by another Turkic cavalry!

The first of the Turkic civilization, Bi Khan, led the Turkic cavalry into the city to loot.

The firelight was reflected in the eyes of Shibi Khan, and there was no mercy, this was the great war in the era of cold weapons, and there was no order.

In addition to Yelu Dashi and Shibi Khan, Golden Horde Batu and his brother Bei'er Ge led a cavalry composed of Mongolian cavalry and Indian Kshatriya warriors to attack the Guishan City of Dawan Kingdom.

The Grassland Empire suddenly attacked the Dawan Kingdom, and for a while, the Wusun Kingdom, the Cheshi Kingdom, and the Qiuzi Kingdom in the Western Regions were all alarmed.

In the Wusun Kingdom, the King of Wusun, who followed Huo An to fight, was already slightly old, and his temples were white.

"If something happens to the territory of the Great Protectorate, how can we in the Wusun Kingdom stand idly by. Everyone of Wusun Kingdom, follow me to Dawan Kingdom! ”

King Wusun was also a vassal supported by Huo An, and he was a fanatical supporter of Huo An, and with an order, 100,000 cavalry of Wusun Kingdom were successively transmitted to Dawan Kingdom.

"The Wusun people have also intervened in the war!"

The Dawan people of Guishan City were even more alarmed when they found that the cavalry of Wusun Kingdom appeared in the city, and this great battle might cause the population of Dawan Kingdom to be reduced by half.
