    Zhao Jun came out from all sides. In just a few moments, the Yanqi cavalry who had barely formed a formation were killed and fled in all directions by combining foot and cavalry.  However, when they ran around, they discovered that Zhao troops were already surrounding them.

    The sharp arrows, crossbow bolts, and the irresistible spears have made the Yanqi cavalry lose their will to resist. However, the infantry formed a formation and moved closer to the center, gradually compressing their living space.

    The cavalry charged back and forth in the center, as if they were destroying everything. The entire Yanqi cavalry was torn to pieces by the Zhao army's cavalry charging back and forth twice.

    The soldiers wanted to fight, but the wails and screams suddenly spread throughout the fields, echoing in the twilight plains.  On the battlefield, there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and the torn and shapeless corpses were scattered in the grass. The plain was particularly cold.

    Because he wanted to continue attacking Lancheng and to frighten the Yanqi people in the camp, Xu Ye did not leave any prisoners behind.  In other words, all enemy soldiers were killed.  Of course, this is also what Zhao Xun and others meant. Here, immigration and education alone are not enough. Bloody killing is also an indispensable method.

    From the Zhao army's attack, in the entire camp, not only thousands of Yanqi cavalry resisted, but also nearly a thousand ordinary young men resisted, it can be seen that these people from the Western Regions are not so easy to accommodate.  In the end, all the two to three thousand soldiers in the entire camp were killed by the Zhao army. Of the more than 8,000 Yanqi people, not one of them, including more than 500 who waved weapons to resist, survived.

    "Haha General, this battle is so exciting!" Xu Ye's deputy, also the captain Yu Cheng, said with a smile.

    Xu Ye also had a smile on his face, "Yes, it's great. In the past, we Han people in Liangzhou were often bullied by the countries in the Western Regions. In the past, our Liangzhou garrison did not dare to fight with them. Now, we finally let our soldiers stand  Here, defeat the ** teams in the Western Regions and let them know that things have changed now. "

    "By the way, what are the casualties?" After sighing, Xu Ye asked quickly.

    Yu Cheng's face condensed and he said: "Fortunately, we are attacking the opponent, we have superior strength, and the armor and equipment are better than the opponent. Therefore, the casualties are not serious, only less than 300 people."

    "They are all good people. You must take good care of them and never neglect them." Xu Ye said repeatedly while being surprised by the combat power of his own soldiers.

    "General, don't worry. In our Zhao army, each battalion is equipped with a specialized doctor who is responsible for treating the wounds of the soldiers. Now, they have been properly settled."

    "Is this the arrangement in the army?" Xu Ye was shocked. Now, the more he knew about Zhao Jun, the more surprised he was.  Placing doctors in the army is definitely the greatest blessing for soldiers.  As a general, Xu Ye naturally knew that after a battle, many soldiers died or became disabled because their injuries could not be treated effectively.  But he knew better that if these soldiers were treated in time, they would all return to their old appearance.  You know, most of the soldiers who have experienced bloody battles have become elites in the army.

    "General, what are you going to do with these prisoners? In total, there are seven to eight thousand prisoners here."

    "The army has been repaired for a while. After we had a meal here, we immediately attacked Lancheng. Presumably, they don't know what's going on here. As for the prisoners, they will be stationed in a company. A small team of ten, a squadron of ten squads, and a first squadron of ten squadrons.  If one person makes trouble or escapes, kill a small team, and if a small team has trouble, kill a squadron, and so on. Let them figure out their situation and monitor each other.  He didn't have a good impression of the people of the countries in the Western Regions.  I don¡¯t know how many Han people were in a worse situation than they are now.

    The night is dark and the breeze is blowing, making the nights in the Western Regions particularly cold.  Xu Ye leaned down and gently touched the soft mane of the war horse, causing the horse to slow down.

    A junior colonel led a horse and came to his side and said in a deep voice: "General, three miles ahead is Lancheng. According to our investigation, Lancheng does not have a high city and no defensive weapons. In addition, there is no high city in Lancheng.  , The defenders in the city don't seem to know that we have started a war, so the defense is lax. "

    "Very good, get ready for action!" Xu Ye sneered, "The two armies are fighting, but they are so careless when they are hostile. Humph! They really thought we were the Liangzhou Army."

    "General, our army is ready. The enemy's city gate is a wooden gate. We just need to use the thunder to blow it open." Yu Cheng said softly.

    "Zhentian Lei?" Xu Ye murmured to himself. He now understood Zhentian Lei, and in his mind, the effect of Zhentian Lei when Zhao Jun showed it to him could not help but arise.  I have to say that Xu Ye was shocked at the time.  Now, he is very clear about the role of Zhentian Lei.

    "Then let's move forward! Defeat this city in one battle!"

    ?The army is slowly approaching. Under the night, if anyone looks carefully on the city wall, they can see a large black shadow approaching the city gate.

    Xu Ye waved his spear slightly, and immediately dozens of Zhao soldiers rushed straight to the city gate hundreds of meters away with large packages in their arms.

    After a while, these soldiers rushed back.  But Xu Ye knew that there were already a lot of sky-shaking thunders piled up under the city gate.

    ¡°Boom¡­¡± There was a loud noise, accompanied by a flash of fire. In the eyes of Sergeant Zhao, the weak gate of Lancheng suddenly fell into pieces.  Even the city wall above the city gate has cracks.

    "It's amazing!" Xu Ye sighed secretly, then stepped on the pedals with his feet and lightly knocked the horse's belly with his heels.  The war horse understood this and took small steps, slowly trotting towards the gate of Lancheng

    In addition to leaving a thousand soldiers to guard the prisoners in the rear camp, the remaining four thousand soldiers also started taking action with Xu Ye.  The sound of horses' hooves began to sound, and the sound of the soldiers' armors clashing gradually became louder.

    The area of ??Lancheng is not large, but its population is quite large.  In the past, this was the only route for east-west trade, so it was still extremely prosperous here.  Of course, things are far worse now than before.  Of course, after Zhao Jun occupied Liangzhou, part of the old scene restored here.

    "Kill! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!" Xu Ye shouted as he ran straight through the city gate.  Without stopping, he headed straight for the military camp in the city.  Zhao Jun already had a thorough understanding of the situation here.

    In addition to the rapid action of Zhao Jun, the army did not move during this operation, and the Lancheng defenders did not know that Zhao Jun was coming. It was also related to the weather here. It was indeed quite cold here at night.  Therefore, most of the Lancheng defenders and residents were already asleep.

    "Set fire, burn them all!" Seeing that many residents in the city took out weapons from their homes to stop them, Xu Ye suddenly became angry, "I don't want to cause more killings, general, but you don't know how to live or die. Since you want to come out and fight with me,  The generals of Zhao are enemies, so I will make you homeless."

    After the Zhao army officers received the order, the cavalrymen who entered the city took out a sheepskin bag filled with kerosene from the pockets on the sides of their horses and smashed it towards the simple houses in the city.  Then the newly lit torches and rockets were shot out.  Suddenly, flames rose into the sky.  After a while, the entire east city of Lan City was engulfed in fire.

    Screams, shrill wails Although Xu Ye still couldn't bear it at all, it could no longer move Xu Ye's cold heart.  Zhao Xun's words also came to mind. The so-called justice and benevolence were all bullshit.  When dealing with enemies, you can say anything, except kindness.

    This is war, a life-and-death war.  A little bit of kindness and forgiveness can lead to a situation that is beyond redemption.

    "The defenders in the city did not react at all, and were rushed into the barracks by Zhao Jun's army.  As for the city's general, he had just gotten up from the bed when he was beheaded by Zhao Jun.  The killing lasted for half an hour, and the flames soaring into the sky illuminated the darkness before dawn

    "My lord, good news about Lancheng, General Xu Ye has captured Lancheng. This first control block has been controlled by us." In the Yiwu Mansion office, Wei Zilin laughed and reported.

    "Oh? So quickly. Send an order to Xu Ye immediately and ask them to repair in Lancheng. The army will arrive soon. Send an order to all the ministries in Yiwu Mansion. Except for one group that stays behind to guard against Gaochang Kingdom in the north, the rest of the army is divided into five groups.  , attack separately. This king wants to destroy the eastern region of Yanqi State overnight, and give a good shock to the countries in the Western Regions." Zhao Xun ordered coldly.

    In an instant, the Zhao army in Yiwu Mansion immediately moved towards the west.  Let the spies from all over the city start to get busy.  At the same time, people from Zhao Jun's Shadow Division and Eagle Eye Division in Yiwu Mansion also began to take action to capture the enemy troops in the territory.

    At the same time, the Qiuci Kingdom to the west of the Yanqi Kingdom also began to send troops eastward to invade Yanqi territory.  As news of the Zhao army's actions spread back, and as the guides who accompanied the Zhao army went back to describe the strength of the Zhao army, Qiuci's actions suddenly became much faster.

    Zhao Jun¡¯s follow-up army quickly entered Lancheng. At this moment, Lancheng had been burned to the ground by Zhao Jun, and the number of residents in the city was reduced by one-third.  Maybe they died resisting Zhao Jun, maybe Zhao Jun set fire or deliberately killed them, but who cares?

    After the army moved in, Zhao Jun took over the place and began to settle the people.  They began to gather residents in the city and strongholds outside the city in a continuous sitting system.  Xu Ye, on the other hand, continued to lead eight thousand soldiers to the west.

    Wuhe Town is a city of the Yanqi people, or a large stronghold. There are more residents here than in Lan City.  It is located on the southwest side of Lancheng, butThere are not many defenders here.  Because all around it are its own cities.  The countries in the Western Regions are not used to building cities in residential areas like the Han people.  More often than not, they set up camps and established settlements in fertile areas with water and grass.  In addition, most of the countries in the Western Regions are nomadic and are good at herding livestock.  Otherwise, there would be no situation where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on an expedition to the countries in the Western Regions for horses with Han blood.  Therefore, in addition to building cities for trade, they also built cities on the border between the two countries for defense.

    So, in a sense, this is not good news for the attacking side and Zhao Jun who also has infantry.  After all, the opponent does not have a stable location for you to fight. For Zhao Jun, who needs food and grass supplies from the rear, the burden is really not small.

    However, what Zhao Jun needs to do now is to attack the enemy's settlements.  If all your people are wiped out, is it possible for your country to still exist?

    Wuhe Town is adjacent to the Bei River in the south, and several tributaries of the North River pass through it, making it a nomadic paradise with lush water and grass.  But there are not many defenders here. After all, this is in the country.

    Xu Ye stopped his horse and looked at it, smiled coldly, and said to himself, "The Blitzkrieg, we really didn't get the news in time. Humph! In the past, you bullied my people, and now it's our turn. We stole your old tricks,  I don¡¯t believe that your country of Qi still exists?¡±

    Immediately, he gently raised his hand, and the Zhao Jun cavalry behind him quickly drew out his horizontal sword.  Looking at the camp directly ahead, Xu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly shouted: "Kill!"

    As soon as the word "kill" was spoken, Zhao Jun's cavalry charged forward.  Xu Ye took the lead and urged his horse to rush towards the opposite camp.

    The Yanqi people in the tribe at the base of the camp saw Zhao Jun¡¯s cavalry from a distance. As the long horn sounded, they managed to gather more than 3,000 people and fought out of the camp.  The leader is an old man. Not surprisingly, this man is the official or leader of the camp. He rides a tall horse and rushes to the front with a knife.  People from the Western Regions are good at riding, so even though this man is old, he still rides forward.  However, it was a pity that he met Sergeant Zhao.

    When they were twenty steps away, Xu Ye pulled out a throwing spear and raised his arm to throw.  Since then, Xu Ye has become accustomed to this weapon when he saw Zhao Jun's cavalry equipped with it. Sometimes, he is indeed very powerful.  There was only a sharp scream, and a flash of black light suddenly appeared, piercing the old man's chest, lifting his body off the horse, and slamming him to the ground.  Countless war horses rushed past, and the old man turned into a pile of rotten meat in the blink of an eye

    "I'm old, and I don't know how to take care of myself. I don't know whether to live or die!" Xu Ye said coldly to himself as he passed the old man's body.  But he did not stop in his hands, and rushed into the rebel army that was in commotion because of the spears thrown by Zhao Jun.  The spear in his hand made a sharp and sharp sound, flying up and down, and blood was drawn from the spear.

    Sergeant Zhao followed closely behind, they did not need to know who their opponent was.  There is no need to look at whether those people are male or female, old or young. Anyone who blocks the way forward can only be killed with the weapon in hand.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And when the opponent's scimitar slashed at him, except for the vital points, the Zhao army officers did not care at all.  The plate armor made by the hydraulic forging machine can already withstand frontal slashes from the opponent's weapons.

    But Zhao Jun¡¯s weapons were extremely sharp, far from being comparable to the weapons of the Yanqi people and other countries in the Western Regions. They were obviously not on the same level.  Either he was cut off, or he was cut open by Zhao Jun's weapons.

    Wuhe Town soon fell into the hands of the Zhao army. More than 2,000 rebels and 4,000 residents died in this battle.

    "Report to the general, capture all the residents. There are many war horses here, all of them are fine horses. Now we are dispatched! The soldiers no longer need to walk on foot."

    "Send the order, and the company will unite it together. Take away everything that can be taken away. As for this place, set it on fire." Xu Ye ordered coldly.

    Nearly 10,000 Zhao army officers and soldiers, along with more than 30,000 Yanqi people, 20,000 fine war horses and 100,000 livestock, left quietly.  But here, after the resisters were defeated, a fire was lit and disappeared.

    And in the north, east and west of Wuhe Town, there are people doing the same thing.  They captured the residents and livestock, set fire to the camps built by the residents, and then left.

    These are all based on the results of discussions between the Military Affairs Department.  Zhao Xun and others knew very well that in the Western Regions, if they wanted to go to war with the countries in the Western Regions, they had to maintain strong mobility, and war horses became an indispensable presence.  Instead of constantly replenishing it from the rear, it is better to capture it on the spot.

    As the saying goes, the enemy is weak and we are strong.  This not only supplements one's own needs, but also weakens the other side.

     Xu Ye and other people on the road continued to act like this after handing over the plundered things to the infantry and letting the infantry escort them back.  Not to mention anything else, Xu Ye, in just three days, rushed to a 500-mile radius, attacked four camps in a row, and then disappeared.  At the same time, all livestock and local residents were taken away.

    Zhao Jun, on the other hand, placed these people together, selected suitable places, established several large camps, and settled them there.  Use infantry as defenders to form cities one by one.

    "My lord is planning to build a city in these places?" Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but ask as she looked at the Zhao army camps marked on the map.

    Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Yes, these Yanqi people live in various places. We put them together, but we cannot just ignore them, nor can we always rely on the army to restrain them. How to settle them is also a problem. Since we want to control this place,  We have to let them follow our Han customs. Having a city will not only help us garrison and govern, but also prevent enemy attacks."

    "Furthermore, aren't these people just good laborers? The cities we built are basically facing each other, and they can respond to each other and help each other. In the future, this is not only the foundation for our control here. In addition, this is also our foundation.  The trade route to the west.¡±

    "With prosperous trade routes, more people will naturally gather here. Soon, the surrounding residents will slowly use these cities as the basis to gather together. And what we need to do is to do it bit by bit  Bring them here." Zhao Xun followed the dots marked on the map with his fingers and explained with a smile on his face.

    Zhang Yuanjing looked at the location marked on the map, heading west, corresponding to the southern line of the Western Front that had not yet started operations. She couldn't help but stare at the area of ??the Western Region countries on the map, and said excitedly: "Okay.  , So wonderful! Two thin lines, one south and one north, will become the center of this large area. It will be much easier for us to control this place. "
