Chapter 618: The Qin army enters the city
Chapter 618
Before the scouts had returned, they saw a cloud of sand and dust flying in the east, and a black flag could be faintly seen.
"All troops on alert!" Agugina gave the order, and all the soldiers became nervous.
When the banner appeared clearly in their eyes, Agugina and King Loulan's faces became cloudy, with both joy and worry.
However, for other Loulan soldiers, when they saw this flag, it was equivalent to seeing hope.
The banner of Great Qin fluttered high among the thousands of cavalry, bringing hope to the people of Loulan.
Two thousand cavalry stopped at the foot of Loulan City, and Han Xin rode out of the column and shouted to the people upstairs: "We are ordered to come to support Loulan City!" Please open the gates of the city, King Loulan! ”
Agugina held down the hand of the king of Loulan, stood on the head of the city and asked loudly, "Who is here?" ”
"Ben General Han Xin! On the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, lead the forward army to support! ”
"What credentials?"
Han Xin stretched out his hand to the sky and said loudly: "The Great Qin Battle Banner behind this general is the best proof!" ”
At this time, the king of Loulan said, "Open the city gate!" Daqin's equipment can be imitated by no one in the world! ”
"Open the gates!" Agugina gave the order to open the gates.
Seeing the city gate open, Han Xin immediately entered Loulan City with two thousand men and horses.
As Han Xin led the tiger horse into Loulan City, the night of Loulan also fell, but Loulan City and Loulan City were still brightly lit.
Han Xin had just entered the city, and King Loulan couldn't wait to summon Han Xin in the palace.
"Qin General Han Xin, meet the King of Loulan!" Han Xin bowed, but his waist was always straight.
King Loulan didn't care about this
After all, I'm still wearing blood-stained armor.
King Loulan asked, "Is there only two thousand soldiers and horses in the vanguard army of Great Qin?" ”
"Don't worry, since I, Daqin, have sent troops, it will naturally not just be a formality, these days Japan will help Dawang defend the city, and my Daqin's main force will arrive in a few days!"
King Loulan frowned and said: "Now it is not only the rebels who are increasing their troops, but also the Tubo people who have united to attack the city together, if the main force of your army does not come again, I am afraid that Loulan City will not be able to hold on." ”
Han Xin said confidently: "If there is enough grain and grass in the city, as long as the king hands over the military power to the general, the general can hold on to Loulan for a few more months, but I don't know that the king can be trusted by the general." ”
"Bold! Although you are a Qin general! But you dare to ask for my Loulan military power! Agugina said angrily.
Han Xin's move seems to be taking away the military power in Agugina's hands, not that Agugina is still greedy for military power, but Han Xin's words are equivalent to saying that Agugina is a waste.
Agugina continued, "Even if you are given the right to fight, do you think you can really hold out for a few more months? There are less than 10,000 troops in Loulan City! Even women and children have already gone into battle. Hold on for months, you dare to say. ”
Han Xin said with a proud face: "Ben Jiang has already seen it since he came in." ”
"Although Loulan City has suffered heavy casualties, all the people are soldiers, and their fighting spirit is undiminished, even women and children are enough to form an army!"
"In addition, although the Loulan city wall has undergone several days of fierce attack, the city wall has not collapsed, it is still strong, and it can resist the enemy outside the city."
"With these two points, Ben will be able to hold on until the arrival of my Great Qin's main force!"
King Lanlou glanced at Han Xin deeply and pondered
After a long time, he said: "This king can give you command authority, but your orders must be issued through my general Loulan." ”
"Yes!" Han Xin said: "As long as the general's orders are strictly implemented, it will not be a problem for Loulan City to hold on for several months!" ”
After Han Xin left, Agugina hurriedly said: "King, this Han Xin is too arrogant, does the King really think that he can help us hold Loulan City?" ”
King Loulan sighed and said, "The current situation can't afford us not to believe it. ”
"And if he can't hold it, he will die here, and then the Qin army will inevitably attack the rebels, and even if he is defeated, there will be someone with us!"
Agugina sighed slightly and said, "King, can the Qin army still leave when it enters the Western Regions?" ”
The King of Loulan showed a wry smile and said: "The ambition of the Qin people, I'm afraid that the Western Regions is still dissatisfied, just ask my Loulan people to live." ”
Han Xin's arrival still gave hope to the Loulan people, but if they knew that Han Xin had already come and surrounded them at the east gate for three days, they wouldn't think it was hope.
Han Xin summoned a group of generals in Loulan overnight, and after learning about the situation in the city, he immediately made a series of deployments.
Han Xin couldn't figure it out before, the Western Regions countries did not have two siege ladders to attack the city, but just threw the hook on the city and climbed up along the rope, how did the Loulan soldiers cause such a large number of casualties.
As soon as I learned about it, I learned that the Loulan army took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the battle in the first few times, and then held on to the city, but in order to prevent the enemy from approaching the city wall, the Loulan army leaned out directly and was seriously injured by the enemy's bow and arrow.
Han Shin
In his eyes, Loulan's generals are simply a group of idiots, who have been hacked to death a long time ago in the Great Qin Army, and their consciousness is not even comparable to that of small soldiers.
Han Xin immediately made a series of adjustments to improve Loulan's way of defending the city.
Due to the insufficient number of shields in the Loulan army, Han Xin ordered the door panel of the house to be removed as a wooden shield to ensure that the enemy could have an effective defense when the enemy was attacked by a rain of arrows.
Han Xin also found. The generals of Loulan did not have any plan for the grain and grass in the city.
In this kind of situation of sticking to the city, there is no planning and management of the use of grain and grass, which is simply a taboo for soldiers.
After all Han Xin's arrangements last night, Agugina, who was the general of Loulan, was late, but at this time, Agugina handed over the command to Han Xin, and she was only in charge of making decisions.
Han Xin said: "This time to defend the city, our Qin army will sit in the city, as long as there is a critical situation on either side, we will light the wolf smoke as a signal, and our Qin army will immediately rush to support." ”
"And this general, personally go to the south where the enemy has the most troops and the most fierce siege to command, you go to the west city, as for the north city and the east city, the enemy army is weak, you just assign the general."
"During the defense of the city, if anyone loses it! Then I'll see you! ”
Agugina had no objections, immediately assigned the generals, and then ordered to go down and carry out the order.
Agugina suddenly stopped Han Xin, who was about to leave, and asked, "Does the general know General Zhao Yi?" ”
Han Xin was stunned for a moment, turned around and said, "Yes, the general knows General Zhao Yi?" ”
Agugina was overjoyed and asked, "Is he here this time?" ”
Han Xin shook his head and said, "General Zhao Yi did not come to the Western Regions this time, General Zhao Yi
There are other priorities. ”
Agugina was suddenly disappointed and said, "Thank you for telling me, General." ”
Han Xin nodded, then turned and left,
On the other side, the Western Regions Alliance also knew that the Qin army was coming, because the spies sent out to keep an eye on the east gate of Loulan had also seen the banner of Great Qin.
