Chapter 615: The Capture of King Tilan
Chapter 615
Towards evening, an army of nearly 20,000 from the Western Regions appeared in the desert next to the oasis.
The commander of this army looked extremely unprofessional, there was not a single scout in front of the army, and even the front, middle and rear armies were close together, and they couldn't even tell the difference.
And the king of Tilan ran to the front of the whole army.
The chariot that King Tilan bought from Daqin was at the front of the whole army, it was very conspicuous and domineering, but it was completely a live target.
In a normal march, the commander's chariot should be in the Chinese army, after all, the Chinese army has the largest number of troops and the strongest defense ability, which can effectively protect the commander of the first army.
And the king of Tilan put his chariot in the front, which is simply giving the enemy a chance, as long as there is a charge, it is estimated that the chariot of the king of Tilan will be in the hands of the enemy.
Of course, the main reason why King Tiran dared to do this was that he felt that there would be no enemies.
Now in the entire Western Regions, except for a few city-states in the south who are on guard against the Tubo, all the other city-states are attacking Loulan, and everyone is an ally.
Although I heard that Loulan had asked for help from the Qin State in the east, there was no news that the Qin army had entered the Western Regions so far, and it was obvious that the request for help had failed.
Now that the demise of Loulan is a foregone conclusion, all the city-states will be an independent kingdom, and they will no longer have to suffer the anger of the Loulan people.
King Tilan was in the chariot, holding two concubines, and the concubines were feeding the king of Loulan expensive fruits, and the hands of the king of Loulan were raging in the clothes of the two concubines.
"Aha! Comfortable! Comfortable! Aha! The laughter of the king of Tilan continued to rush through the chariot.
Look at the vanguard army of the Tilan army
glanced at the chariot, and then quickly closed his gaze.
King Tilan suddenly stuck his head out of the chariot and said, "Pass the order!" Tonight the whole army will rest at the front! This king is tired and needs to rest! โ
"Yes!" After receiving the order from the king of Tilan, the striker actually went to deliver the order himself.
The forward general left the forward army and went to the rear to give orders in person, which could be lost in the Qin army.
After the sandy slope on the west side of the marching road of the Tilan army, the Qin army had already sharpened its swords, and they could kill all of them just by waiting for Han Xin's order.
Han Xin rode on a sandy slope and looked down on Tilan's army.
The unprofessionalism of the Tilan army made Han Xin very angry, and Han Xin felt ashamed of ambushing such an army.
After Tilan's army entered the ambush range, Han Xin gave the order.
"Kill!" Xiahou Ying roared loudly and rushed out first.
When the 5,000 cavalry rushed down from the sandy slope, the army of Tilan immediately panicked.
The generals of the Tilan army did not even stop the soldiers from defending, but fled directly, and before the Qin army arrived, the Tilan army was completely chaotic.
"What's going on! What's going on! โ
As soon as the king of Tiran opened the curtain and saw a well-equipped cavalry rushing towards him, he turned pale with fright and sat down in the chariot.
"Kill!"
Xiahou Ying took a lance and directly wore the bright light enemy soldiers on the horse into a string.
Xiahou Ying pulled out the Qin knife at his waist and cut off the enemy soldier on the other side, and at the same time grabbed the blood-stained lance and pulled the lance out of the enemy soldier's body.
Xiahou Ying quickly put away the Qin knife, held the lance in both hands, and constantly picked up the enemy soldiers on small war horses, as if he had entered a no-man's land.
Tilan
There weren't many people in the army resisting at all, and after seeing the Qin army's tiger horse, they turned around and fled, and the Qin army's tiger horse was like a tiger entering a flock, and it was a completely one-sided slaughter.
The battle was soon over, and the Qin army did not continue the pursuit.
The Qin army surrounded the chariot of the king of Tilan, and the king of Tilan was so frightened that he hid in the chariot and shivered.
Xiahou Ying came to Han Xin's side and arched his hand and said, "General, our army killed a few of Tilan's generals, and the others ran away, but we still captured King Tilan alive." โ
"Are you sure it's King Tiran?" Han Xin asked.
"Sure, one of the generals who surrendered said it." Xiahou Ying said.
Han Xin came to the chariot and shouted to the chariot: "The people inside come out, otherwise General Ben will order someone to set the car on fire." โ
"The general spares his life! The general spares his life! โ
King Tilan didn't dare to hide anymore, and hurriedly crawled out, and the bright light concubine behind him also trembled and crawled out.
Han Xin asked, "You are the King of Tilan?" โ
"The villain is the city lord of Tilan, and he doesn't dare to call himself the king, is the general the general of Great Qin?" King Tiran asked tremblingly.
"You don't need to know this, you just need to know now! You kid is a prisoner of General Ben! โ
"Yes, yes, the villains are quite generals." King Tiran only wanted to live now, regardless of what the other party asked.
Han Xin asked, "Are you going to lead troops to attack Loulan City?" โ
King Tilan's heart jumped, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak at all, because King Tilan didn't know which side the Qin army in front of him was on.
"If you don't say it, we have already received the news that you are going to attack Loulan. It just so happens that we have a little bit in common
So General Ben won't kill you first. โ
"General Xie's grace not to kill! General Sheben's grace not to kill. โ
King Tilan was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that the Qin army also wanted to destroy Loulan, and Loulan was really at the end of the road.
"Someone! Keep him in this chariot, and if you dare to escape, you will be killed! Han Xin said.
"No!"
As soon as Xiahou Ying waved his hand, several soldiers went up inside and pushed King Tilan and his two concubines back into the carriage.
Xiahou Ying looked at Han Xin and asked, "General, what should we do next?" โ
Han Xin looked at the surrender of Tilan's army and the materials that were dropped, and said, "Send troops to Loulan and surround Loulan!" โ
"Huh?" Xiahou Ying was stunned.
Han Xin said with a smile: "You ordered people to wear the clothes of Tilan soldiers, cover their faces, escort these Tilan soldiers, and pull supplies to surround Loulan City." โ
"At that time, once Loulan is breached, the tiger rider will rush directly into Loulan City from Tilan's side and rescue King Loulan."
"The last general understands, the general has a good strategy!" Xiahou Ying said with a smile.
"Okay, clean up the battlefield, after a day's rest tonight, tomorrow the troops will send Loulan!"
"No!"

At this time, Loulan was already in flames of war, and the tall city walls could only last for a few days.
Loulan has always been under the high-pressure rule and exploitation of various cities, which makes these cities hate it to the core, and now the offensive against Loulan is also extremely crazy.
In fact, the food in Loulan City can still gallop for more than half a year, but in the face of the onslaught of the enemy, it is difficult to hold on to the food.
Today's Loulan has been surrounded on three sides, and one side is only because the enemy's troops are insufficient, but now it has to
When the news arrived, Tilan also sent troops, and Loulan would be completely surrounded by that time.
Many of Loulan's ministers were already persuading King Loulan to flee, but King Loulan was still hesitating at this time.
After all, after escaping Loulan City, where can I go now? And do you really want to give up Loulan City, which has been run by your ancestors for generations? Without Loulan City, can Loulan still exist?
