Chapter 577: The Last Resistance

The next morning.

Yang Zhao led the army to set off.

At the same time, they contacted Zhao Yun and them, and they came to the city together.

Their two armies, put Kangju's defense line and troops on the east side, solved the problem almost perfectly, ensured the smooth retreat, and reduced Kangju's strength, all the way to the city, there was no obstacle.

This royal court was built by the Xiongnu Zhizhi who invaded Kangju in that year, and it was still an earthen city at the beginning, and then reinforced with wood.

But this city was set on fire by Chen Tang of the Han Dynasty, and the earth city was also defeated, Zhi Zhi Shan Yu was directly cut off by Chen Tang's head, and the later Kangju people, after subduing the territory, rebuilt the royal court, and now it is not only the earth city, but also reinforced with hard stone outside, and no longer uses wood.

Knowing that the Han army was coming, Sangar personally put on armor and brought a sword to the city tower.

Gather the army again and prepare to defend the royal court.

Yang Zhao came to about three miles outside the city, on the edge of a river called Dulai Shui, and did not immediately attack the city, so he met with Zhao Yun first, asked about the situation, and made sure that there were no other problems in the south, and then camped and rested.

The appearance of the Han army brought great pressure to the Kangju people.

All of them were afraid, and the Han people destroyed them, and stood trembling on the tower.

Yang Zhao glanced at the city tower and said unhurriedly: "Rest for now, and we will attack the city tomorrow." ”

Jia Xu reminded: "Be careful, the enemy may come to attack at night. ”

In a head-to-head battle, the Kangju people have no chance of winning.

Then it is possible for Sangar to use some non-positive means.

"What Wen He said makes sense, and you need to be careful."

Yang Zhao said approvingly.

They camped and rested, waited for the time to pass, and soon came late at night.

Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else went to rest, but not long after midnight, countless black figures appeared outside the camp, groping towards their camp, but as soon as these figures appeared, they were discovered by the soldiers standing guard and beat the war drums directly.

When the soldiers in the camp heard the sound of war drums, they immediately got up and took up their arms to be on guard.

Gao Shun and Ju Yi saw the enemy's night attack and first killed out of the camp.

"There will really be a night attack."

When Yang Zhao saw it, he smiled and said, "Let Wenhe guess correctly." ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Except for the night attack, I really can't think of anything else that the Kangju people can do, but the current Kangju people still don't seem to know anything about our strength." ”

Yang Zhao listened to the shouts outside, and didn't pay attention to such a low-level night attack, and smiled when he heard this: "Isn't this very good?" ”

The enemy does not know anything, and it is better for them.

The night attack did not last long, and the enemy was quickly killed and repelled by Gao Shun and them, and retreated to the royal court in a hurry.

"Go back and rest!"

Yang Zhao ordered.

The enemy came to attack at night once, and failed, and probably will not come a second time.

The second half of the night was spent quietly.

As soon as the morning dawned, they heard the sound of a horn, coming from the direction of the royal court, Yang Zhao went out of the camp to look, only to see a group of more than 30,000 cavalry, galloping from the west of the royal court, and the Kangju people could still gather so many cavalry to resist.

"Kangju people want to replace defense with offense."

Zhuge Liang saw through Sangar's thoughts.

"Offense is the best defense."

Yang Zhao said disapprenously: "The Kangju people think that we have come from afar, we haven't rested well, and we are not familiar with the environment, they don't want to give us time to get acquainted with it, so they come to attack directly, Zilong and Guorang, you have cleaned up the enemy cavalry." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu said in unison.

They felt weak about such an attack by the Kangju people.

It's not that I'm too proud, but now these Kangju people are really not good, and they are not as strong as those that Soge brought to attack Liangzhou.

The Kangju people really didn't know how fierce the Han army's combat power was, so they dared to take the initiative to fight to meet the battle, but this was to send them to death, and the cavalry who went out to fight were quickly killed by the light and heavy cavalry, and fled back in embarrassment.

"Siege!"

Yang Zhao ordered.

Their siege methods have long been abandoned, and they use ladders to climb as soon as they come up.

Directly bombarded the city gates with artillery.

The practice of blocking the city gate with boulders is not only in the Han Dynasty, but also on the Kangju side, and the city gate of the royal court has long been blocked by the Kangju people overnight, and the artillery bombarded it, only shattering the outer wooden door.

The stone inside was then exposed.

Yang Zhao did not stop, and ordered to continue the bombardment, and the stones blocking the door were soon bombarded by the artillery and the gravel was splashed everywhere.

The Kangju guards on the castle tower had seen such powerful artillery for the first time.

The artillery they got from Taiping Dao is completely useless now, because the range is far inferior to Yang Zhao's, and the power is even more different.

Kangju guarded the city tower and fired a few artillery shots, but they couldn't hit the Han army at all, and the Han army was outside the firing range, using more powerful artillery, constantly bombarding their city gates and walls, as well as mortar shells, crossing a parabola and hitting them.

The Kangju guards no longer dared to defend the city, so they scattered in a hurry and fled from the city tower.

"Don't run away, go up and shoot back!"

Sangar commanded in a hurry, but the voice of the voice was covered by the sound of artillery, and even if he roared in his throat, not many people could hear it.

He finally understood how the 400,000 coalition army was defeated, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

Just as he was about to urge the soldiers to continue to climb the tower to counterattack the besieging Han army, the mortar outside the city adjusted the angle, and a shell just hit down and exploded among the soldiers in front of Sangar.

The scene caused by the explosion was terrifying, and the shock wave swept by.

The soldiers who were bombed were not even complete on the spot, and those soldiers who were not directly hit by the explosion were hit by the shock wave of the explosion and fell in pieces.

Sangar fell to the ground in embarrassment, his face covered in blood and dust.

"King, save the King!"

Seeing this, more than a dozen pro-soldiers hurriedly ran over to help Sangar up.

At this time, Sangar was about to be blown up, and in the face of absolute strength, he felt super small, and said after a while: "Abandon the city and flee, leave here......"

But as soon as his words fell, the gates were slammed again, and there was a loud noise.

The stone blocking the city gate collapsed, a hole was punched, and the wall near the city gate collapsed with a "boom".

"The city is broken, abandon the city and leave."

Sangar gritted his teeth.

Originally, he still wanted to defend it, but the reality made him unable to hold on, and he escaped, maybe there was still a chance.

"The city is broken!"

Another cannonball hit the tower, and after the sound of the cannonball, the excited cries of the Han army were heard outside the city.

"Kill into the city!"

Yang Zhao shouted an order.

The Kangju royal court was completely lost, the Han army gathered into the city, and Sangar fled in embarrassment, as if announcing that Kangju was destroyed by Yang Zhao like this!
