Volume 2 Chapter 125: The Secret of Yuya
Leaving Zhou Yu and Diao Chan to defend the two cities of Yanguo, Yunzhong himself led his army to the southwest and invaded the territory of Loulan.
Yunzhong left 1,000 troops and horses in Yanxi City and Yannan City, and the remaining troops brought from Ding Ling were less than 5,000, but with the addition of 3,000 infantry from Yanguo, and more than 1,000 mercenaries were recruited in Yannan City, the total strength of the Loulan Restoration Army reached 9,000, known as 10,000 people.
Compared with the Great Xia Army and the Ahur Army, both in quantity and quality, they were far apart, but the sudden entry of such a unit into the battlefield caused a lot of pressure on both warring sides.
Yunzhong wasted no time and launched an offensive directly against Vulcan City, an important town controlled by Ahur.
Vulcan City is guarded by Ahur's general Sartre, with a total strength of 15,000 people, although they are all rabble, they have an advantage in numbers, and they occupy the advantage of the terrain, so although they are a little surprised by the appearance of the Loulan Restoration Army, they do not feel that such a team can pose a threat to themselves.
Sartre left 3,000 men to defend the city, and he took 12,000 men out of the city to meet the battle, preparing to annihilate these enemies who appeared out of nowhere on the plateau outside Vulcan City.
However, Sartre proved to underestimate the strength of the enemy too much.
In the clouds, with the infantry phalanx of the Rock Country as the front formation, and the Ding Ling cavalry as the two wings, to meet the Sutter army, just as the battle between the two armies was in full swing, Mathilde led two thousand infantry composed of Nords and Rakshasas to kill from the back of the infantry phalanx of the Rock Country, and the two thousand battle axes smashed the infantry formation of the Sartre army to pieces like a boulder.
Sun Ce and Zhao Yun, two fierce generals, each with a hundred light horses, like two sharp knives, stirred up in the Sartre army that had been in chaos, and everywhere they passed, everything was easy.
After holding out for less than an hour, the surging Sartyr army turned into scattered small droplets and was defeated in the direction of Vulcan City.
Sartre himself was caught up by Sun Ce, and the horse was only together, and Sun Ce beheaded Sartre under the horse.
The 3,000 Sartz army in Vulcan City, no matter how their comrades-in-arms outside the city cried and pleaded, just closed the city gate and watched as the 12,000 people outside the city were killed or captured by the Yunzhong army, and all of them were annihilated.
The next thing that happened completely broke the fighting spirit of these defenders who originally wanted to hold on to the reinforcements: Chuck City, north of Vulcan City, sent 2,000 men south, but it did not come to rescue them.
Mo Lun, the head of the Maduk family, who has guarded Chak City for generations, personally led the army, changed the flag, pledged allegiance to Prince Luokai, and joined the Loulan Restoration Army.
When the Chak army joined the army besieging Vulcan City, that night, the Vulcan City guard sent an envoy out of the city to beg for surrender.
It took only three days for the Loulan Restoration Army to enter the Vulcan City, killing 6,000 enemies, capturing 9,000 enemies, and losing less than 500 of their own, reaping a big victory, and more importantly, recovering two cities in one go, although in the fifty-five cities of Loulan, the two cities do not mean anything, but with Prince Luokai, this is where the orthodox Loulan Kingdom is located.
Prince Luokai held a large-scale banquet, banqueting Yunzhong and Molun, Lante and other civil and military generals, the monarch and ministers dispersed happily, after the banquet, Yunzhong did not want to go home, so he was alone, wandering around the streets of Vulcan City.
