Chapter 263: Destruction of Chuyue
Ashinasheer gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "It's not that Yanqi's troops are strong, but that we fell into the Kucha people's scheme."
"Oh? What's going on?" Li Zhen asked.
Ashina Sheer said: "In this attack on Yanqi, we first attacked the Chuyue and Chumi tribes. Both of them were large troops with tens of thousands of troops, and they belonged to Yanqi. Allies, it will be much easier to attack Yanqi after defeating them."
"At the beginning, our attack went smoothly. Both the Chuyue and Chumi tribes surrendered to our army, so our army immediately marched straight into Yanqi, preparing to capture Yanqi and then attack Qiuci. How could we achieve this? But something unexpected happened.¡±
"Our army numbered 100,000 and attacked the city of Yanqi with all our strength. King Xue Po'anazhi of Yanqi had abandoned the city and fled to Kucha. Our army pursued it with all its strength, but we never expected the ambush of the Kucha army."
"Eighty thousand Qiuchi troops had already been ambushing on the road. Together with Yanqi's remnants, there were more than 100,000 troops. They were suddenly killed, causing heavy casualties to our army."
"Originally, with the combat power of our army, even if the casualties were heavier, we could still give it a try. However, the two vassal armies of Chuyue and Chumi, which had already surrendered to our army, suddenly turned against us and attacked us. As a result, our army was immediately defeated. After retreating all the way to Longyou Road, we were caught up in a big sandstorm, and by the time we reached Yumen Pass, there was not much left of our 100,000-strong army."
"Now the coalition forces of Qiuci, Yanqi, Chuyue, and Chumi have occupied all the territory of the Tang Dynasty outside Yumen Pass, including Tingzhou, Yizhou, Xizhou in the north, and Shazhou in the south. They are all occupied. Our army can only rely on Standing at Yumen Pass waiting for reinforcements, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers left, and only 5,000 capable warriors. Even the general Qibi Heli has been killed."
There are only 5,000 people left in the 100,000-strong army who can fight. It can be said that the Tang army was really defeated and was severely injured.
Li Zhen asked what the current situation was.
Ashina Sheer said: "Currently, more than 20,000 soldiers from the Chuyue Department control Shazhou in the south of Yumen Pass, the Chumi Department controls Yizhou in the north of Yumen Pass, and Yanqi and Qiuci occupy Tingzhou and Xizhou. Yuebu is closest to Yumen Pass where our army is located. Chuyuebu attacks Yumen Pass from time to time, and the situation is very critical. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince arrived in time, otherwise I might not be able to save Yumen Pass."
After listening to Ashina She'er's words, Li Zhen nodded and said in her heart that according to what Ashina She'er said, the biggest enemy the Tang army currently faces should be the Chuyue tribe. Only by defeating the Chuyue tribe can they regain the southern part of Yumen Pass. Shazhou.
Shazhou is the closest to Yumen Pass among the states in the Western Region, and the threat is also the greatest. The most important thing now is to concentrate on defeating the Chuyue tribe.
Once the Chuyue tribe is defeated, there will be no enemy traces south of Yumen Pass. After that, they can concentrate their efforts to defeat the Chumi tribe that controls Yizhou.
Li Zhen asked some more about the situation of the Chuyue Department and the Chumi Department. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the Chuyue Department could be won, but the Chuyue Department must be eliminated.
At this moment, Li Zhen asked people to play the starting drum and summoned all the army officers in the camp to prepare to attack Chu Yuebu
A round sunset clings to the ridgeline of the desert, making the earth dark and dark, revealing a layer of deep red; the desert waves holding the sunset are solidified, like a sleeping sea. The climate in the desert area can change greatly in an instant, from sunny weather to sudden wind and sand.
The boundless desert is like a yellow sea. The sun shines on it, and thousands of lights shine on it. The continuous undulating sand dunes are really like waves in the sea. After a while, a strong wind blew over the desert, the sand grains were flying, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark. This was simply a world of sand, where no one could stand.
Li Zhen led the 30,000-strong Tang army, the main force of his direct lineage, to walk in the desert. He felt that the hot air in the desert could steam people to death. Waves of sand surged forward one after another, like an invisible giant hand, peeling off one layer after another of the desert. The quicksand under your feet is hot to the feet, as if it is about to turn into flaming red lava.
When setting off from Yumen Pass, Guo Xiaoke found 5,000 camels for Li Zhen's army. These camels were ships in the desert and also provided guarantee for Li Zhen's troops to march. Under the scorching sun, heat waves rose up in the desert, making it difficult to breathe.
After an unknown amount of time, a green oasis appeared in front of him, like an emerald inlaid on the edge of the desert. Li Zhen wiped the sand from his forehead. He knew that there was the Shazhou controlled by Chu Yuebu, and this time he The ultimate goal to attack.
"Commanders of the Tang Dynasty, Shazhou is in front of you. Rush over and destroy all the enemies you see. The Tang army is mighty!"
"The Tang army is mighty!"
The 30,000-strong army roared with joy.
The next moment, fiveThe musketeers took off the cotton cloth wrapped around the muzzle of the musket. It was the protection of these cotton cloths that prevented sand from entering the musket. Now, the mission of the cotton cloth was over, and the five thousand musketeers mounted their horses and prepared to attack. Shazhou makes a thunderous strike.
"Attack!" Li Zhen yelled.
"kill!"
Five thousand musketeers rushed towards the oasis, followed closely by five thousand Mo Dao soldiers riding camels.
At this time, the Chuyue tribe was satisfied after occupying Shazhou. They never thought that the Tang army, which had been beaten by them and had no power to fight back, would suddenly launch an attack. For a while, the Chuyue tribe was in chaos and could not be organized in a hurry. Effective resistance.
¡°Bang bang bang!¡±
Five thousand musketeers on horseback kept shooting from a long distance, while Mo Dao soldiers rushed forward and hacked to the ground those Chuyue tribe members who dared to resist
The setting sun is like blood!
When the setting sun cast its last afterglow on the desert, everything became quiet.
The ground was littered with the headless corpses of Chuyue warriors, the green grass on the oasis was soaked red with blood, and a thick smell of blood floated in the air.
After an afternoon of fighting, about 5,000 of the more than 20,000 Chuyue tribe soldiers were killed, and the rest, along with 100,000 tribesmen, all surrendered, and Shazhou fell into the hands of the Tang army.
In this battle, Li Zhen led 30,000 main troops deep into the depths of the desert, attacked Huanglong, and finally annihilated the Chu Yue tribe.
Subsequently, Li Zhen executed all the senior leaders of the Chuyue tribe, and all the remaining tribesmen moved to Yumen Pass. From then on, there was no trace of the enemy south of Yumen Pass.
After killing the Chuyue Department in Shazhou, Li Zhen set her sights on the Chumi Department occupying Yizhou.
However, at this time, the Chumi Department had learned that reinforcements from the Tang Army had arrived, occupied Shazhou, and destroyed the Chuyue Department. The entire Chumi Department immediately mobilized urgently, and all men between the ages of fourteen and sixty were ready to go into battle. , As a result, the Department of Secret Service gathered 40,000 troops, which was the largest force that the Department of Secret Service could gather.
At the same time, Nayi, the female leader of the Secret Service, asked for help from Yanqi and Qiuci, preparing to gather reinforcements and fight the Tang army in Yizhou (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
