When the results of the Battle of Wukou City were reported back to the royal capital, King Gao Ya of Gaochang was immediately stunned on the spot, "What? Returned in a disastrous defeat? Most of the bodyguards were lost?"
"Returnreport to the king, it is true! The Zhao army has arrived at Wukou City. Now, there are tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers in Wukou City." The messenger replied with a pale face.
"What about Gao Lin, who is leading the army? Why doesn't he come back to see me?"
"Your Majesty, General Gao Lin committed suicide after his defeat! So" Seeing Gao Ya's face becoming increasingly ugly, the orderly soldier explained in succession.
"What?" Gao Ya couldn't sit still. Gao Lin was his confidant and had done countless private things for him. Now that he suddenly heard that Gao Lin was dead, it was even more difficult for him to accept than the loss of all the Guards.
"How could this happen?" Gao Ya murmured to herself, "Is this the fate of our country, Gaochang? No. I will never be willing to fail! By the way, where is our army that withdrew from the west? Where? When will you arrive at Wukou City?" Gao Ya turned to the servant beside him.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the returning army just passed the royal capital yesterday and is still one day away from Wukou City." The chamberlain replied cautiously.
"One day? Damn it, if Gao Lin could hold on for one more day, maybe he wouldn't be so passive. It's a pity hateful the Wusun people living in the Suiye River Basin, don't they want to support us? What are they doing now? Have they sent troops?"
"not yet!"
"Haha" Gao Ya laughed angrily, "You want to use our Gaochang Kingdom as a chess piece? Do you want me, Gaochang Kingdom, to fight to the death with the Qiuci Kingdom's army? A bunch of stupid pigs! If our Gaochang Kingdom is gone, he will go to the west Can the Wusun people get any benefits? Immediately send a message to the Wusun Kingdom. If they don't come to help, our Gaochang Kingdom will be gone. forward."
Since Li Chenfeng led his army to Wukou City, the place has immediately stabilized. Xu Ye no longer worried about Wukou City's defense. The original people in the city and surrounding towns were also gathered by Zhao Jun and began to clean up Wukou City after the war. The bodies were collected, burned, and buried one by one.
"General Li, General Xu, news came from the west that the follow-up army of Gaochang State passed through the royal capital of Gaochang yesterday and headed straight for Wukou City. The reinforcements this time were all originally drawn from the east and south. Go to the garrison of the Kucha Army in the western region. Now, we are still one day away, and they will arrive here tomorrow morning." The leader of the scout team hurriedly reported back the news from the investigation to Xu Ye and Li Chenfeng.
"General Xu, what do you think?" Li Chenfeng asked the scout to retreat and said with a smile.
Xu Ye said in a deep voice: "The enemy troops have just been transferred from the east and south to the west. They have not stopped yet and have hurriedly withdrawn. At this moment, they must be exhausted. With the intention of the last general, this time we will take the initiative to attack tonight. Raid the opponent's reinforcements. After this battle, there will be no threat to Gaochang State."
Li Chenfeng smiled and nodded: "Yes, what you said is very much in line with my opinion. However, in order to prevent the other party from noticing, we still set out tonight and attack the camp before dawn. The cavalry who came with me had already called They are clamoring to go to war, now it¡¯s time for them to move around!¡±
Seeing what Li Chenfeng said, Xu Ye had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Then the general will defend the city here. I wish the general will return victoriously."
Seeing Xu Ye's expression, Li Chenfeng didn't know what the other person was thinking, so he chuckled and said, "You have just experienced a war, and you are still injured. Take a good rest. The war in the Western Regions is not limited to this place."
Not long after the battle of Wukou City, the 20,000 troops from Gaochang Kingdom arrived belatedly. They hurriedly rushed to the lower reaches of the Ili River, which was only half a day's journey from Wukou City.
"Instruct the whole army to repair this time. News has come from the front line that Wukou City failed to be captured after all. Now, more than 20,000 Zhao troops have gathered in Wukou City." Gaochangguo's reinforcements coach Fei Yu said coldly .
But looking at the expressions of the generals around him, he added: "But there is no need to worry. Although our army failed in the attack on Wukou City, the Zhao army in Wukou City was also unable to fall behind. Even the newly arrived reinforcements were exhausted. Our army will repair again overnight and arrive at Wukou City tomorrow morning. We will attack Wukou City and drive out the Zhao army. We have also been marching for many days and have a good rest tonight. In addition, we will send people. Strengthen inspections. Although Zhao Jun should not send anyone to fight after a hard battle, we must be on guard!"
What Yu Yu thought was right was that he planned to spend one night repairing here to solve the fatigue problem caused by many days of marching. At the same time, it also allows the soldiers to adjust their mood. However, he underestimated Zhao Jun's understanding of the surrounding military situation and underestimated Zhao Jun's determination. At the same time, where can the tired soldiers be better??Patrol, exploration?
It was night, at the riverside camp where the Gaochangguo army was repairing, a group of troops quietly appeared a few miles away. Although there were patrol soldiers patrolling back and forth within a few miles of the camp, as the night grew darker, sightings became sparse, and some hidden sentries were killed one by one by Zhao Jun spies.
This group of troops is the 7,000 Zhao cavalry led by Li Chenfeng. Looking from a distance, there are still a few lights in the camp, and large flags stand and wave gently over the camp. It was late at night, dark clouds covered the moon, and a light cool breeze blew across the riverside.
Li Chenfeng is riding on a white horse, holding the reins and holding a spear at an angle. He looked at the Gaochangguo camp not far away with alert eyes. Behind Li Chenfeng, it was dark and silent, except for the faint sound of breathing. They were also looking at the enemy camp in the distance, waiting for the time to come.
Time passed, the night became darker, and the firelight in the Gaochang Kingdom camp gradually dimmed. In the distance, the entire camp fell into silence. Under the night, the sound of insects could be vaguely heard
"General, it's past the third watch and it's almost the fourth watch." The principal reminded Li Chenfeng in a low voice.
"Send the order, and the entire army will be ready for action. After the fourth watch, we will act according to the plan, divide into three groups, and wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Li Chenfeng looked at the Gaochangguo camp in the distance and ordered coldly.
With their horses in titles and their hooves wrapped in cloth, seven thousand Zhao Jun cavalry stood quietly behind Yue Xi. They have gained a deep understanding of the situation here. Now, although there are more than 20,000 enemy troops on the opposite side, the soldiers do not feel nervous at all. This is not the first time that the Zhao cavalry has experienced such a situation.
Time passed quickly, and the fourth watch was here. At this time, people sleep the most deeply and are the least vigilant. The enemy spies around Gaochangguo's camp were all pulled out one by one by Zhao Jun's detective horses.
"General, the enemy patrols and spies have been dealt with. Now we can take action."
Li Chenfeng nodded slightly, his eyes were slightly cold, and he suddenly raised his spear high and shouted urgently: "Kill with me!" Immediately, the war horse roared out and rushed towards the camp.
Following closely behind were thousands of cavalry. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was like a flood bursting a bank, roaring on the earth in an instant, and the entire earth began to tremble slightly.
The guards stationed at the camp gate of Gaochang Kingdom had just woken up at this moment and had no idea what was going on. A soldier rubbed his eyes and looked forward. In an instant, he saw the cavalry galloping not far ahead.
"Enemy" The soldier watched with his own eyes as the people around him were turned into hedgehogs by arrows. In horror, as soon as he shouted a word, he saw a black dot coming towards him, and he immediately lost consciousness.
Before Zhao Jun could reach the gate of the camp, all the soldiers guarding the gate had been killed. The soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom inside the camp still didn't know what was going on. After all, no one was in a good mood when they were woken up by the rumbling sound just now, let alone deliberately thinking about what was happening now. Especially since there was no warning, many soldiers went downstairs to prepare to sleep again.
"Kill!" Seeing this scene, Li Chenfeng was secretly happy. He waved his spear and shot away the resisting horse in front of the camp gate, and rushed in directly. After learning that Li Chenfeng had led his army more than a hundred meters into the camp and set fire to dozens of tents, he was noticed by the soldiers of the Gaochang Kingdom in the camp.
"Enemy attack"
"Zhao Jun is coming to kill!"
In an instant, the entire camp was alerted, and at this moment, Zhao Jun had already rushed out from the left and right and from the front, rushing into the camp. They killed people when they saw them, and set fire to tents when they saw them. Many disheveled Gaochang soldiers prepared to intercept them, but they were all killed one by one by the vigorous Zhao soldiers.
A moment later, the Gaochangguo camp turned into a sea of ??fire, reflecting the entire sky red. Many Gaochang soldiers were directly trapped in the burning battle until they were burned to death
The commander of Gaochangguo's camp, Fei Yu, also woke up from his sleep. After hearing this, his face turned livid with anger. But when he walked out of the camp, he saw Zhao Jun killing his own soldiers in his camp as if there was no one, and burning them. The situation in one's own camp was such that one suddenly felt despair.
"General, what should we do?" Several generals and commanders covered in blood around Fei Yu asked in trembling voices.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????"What should we do? In this situation, what else can we do besides fighting to the death? As a warrior of Gaochang Kingdom, don't be afraid and fight to the death with them!"
After adjusting her clothes and armor, Xing Yu rode out. The small school behind him had no choice but to follow him.
Li Chenfeng saw a well-equipped military commander coming out, and immediately ran straight away. The two fought for only five rounds, and Qi Yu was first beaten by ZhaoThe soldier shot the horse and rolled to the ground, and was immediately shot and dismounted by Li Chenfeng.
"The general is dead"
In an instant, after Feng Yu died, the only resistance in the entire camp collapsed completely. The entire Gaochangguo camp by the river suddenly burst into flames, and the soldiers in the camp became little rabbits under the claws of tigers, being chased and killed by Zhao Jun
When the sky was dimming, the war was over and the entire camp had turned into ashes. Although the Zhao army did not seize any loot from it, the eight thousand soldiers also wiped out all 25,000 and Gaochang's army. Only a few people can escape in the end
"General, the more than 20,000 soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom are probably the last mobile force of Gaochang Kingdom. Now, the land hundreds of miles around the capital of Gaochang Kingdom will open its arms to us, shall we"
Li Chenfeng pondered for a moment and said: "Immediately send an order to Wukou City. Except for the soldiers who stayed behind, all the rest will be dispatched and go straight to the capital of King Gaochang. The King of Gaochang was conquered, and the Kingdom of Gaochang ceased to exist. We are here The operation in the northern part of the Western Region has generally achieved its goal. "
"Impossible! How is this possible?" Hearing the news of the soldiers crumbling from the front line, Gao Ya suddenly felt despair, felt weak, and could no longer calm down.
"Your Majesty, there are no soldiers in the capital or even around me, King Gaochang. Right now" an official said in a trembling voice.
"What do you want to say?" Gao Ya's face turned cold, "You want me to surrender? Do you think Zhao Jun will let us go? Do you think that even if the king dies, you will be fine? Think carefully about the situation in Yanqi Kingdom. How many officials in Yanqi Kingdom are alive now? Even if the king dies, you can¡¯t escape. You are closely related to me!¡±
Many officials who were about to persuade Gao Ya to surrender to the Zhao army suddenly felt nervous and turned pale. Gao Ya is right. Regardless of whether they surrender or not, few officials in this hall will survive.
"Zhao Jun is hateful! So what should we do now?"
"Don't worry, everyone, I have secretly contacted the Wusun Kingdom, and they will send troops to help. Our Gaochang Kingdom is the eastern barrier of the Wusun Kingdom. If we are gone, the Wusun Kingdom will face the Zhao army. As long as we can persist for a few days, the Wusun Kingdom will definitely come to our aid." At this moment, Gao Ya could only place her hopes on the Wusun people to the west of Gaochang Kingdom.
If it weren¡¯t for the internal fighting among the Turks, and if it wasn¡¯t for Zhao Jun¡¯s attack on the eastern Turks to contain the western Turkic tribes, why would this be the case now? Huh, when this crisis is resolved, I will definitely contact the Wusun people and the Turks, and the coalition forces will storm your Zhao army's foundation in the Western Regions. Even the Central Plains has not yet been unified, and they still want to invade the Western Regions At this moment, Gao Ya could only curse crazily in her heart.
However, before Gao Ya could make any preparations, the Zhao army had already arrived outside the royal city. Although Gao Ya urgently mobilized the few troops to garrison and quickly recruited young men from the city to defend the city, this still could not save the fate of Gaochang Kingdom. After the Zhao army exploded a gap in the city gate with thunderous thunder, the defenders of the royal city fell apart in an instant.
Just as Gao Ya said, 90% of the officials in the royal city died in the war, and only a handful survived. And Gao Ya was killed by Zhao Jun and was among the rebels. With the support of Zhao Jun, a member of the royal family who was less than ten years old was helped to the throne by the only remaining officials and Zhao Jun garrison, and became the new king of Gaochang.
"Congratulations, my lord, the king of Gaochang has been defeated. Now, most of the Gaochang Kingdom has fallen into the hands of our army." In Yiwufu City, Zhang Yuanjing and others reported the war in Gaochang Kingdom to Zhao Xun with laughter.
Zhao Xun was also secretly happy, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, "The outcome of the battle of Gaochangguo has long been expected by us. It's not just that we are strong, but all the civil and military officials from top to bottom have paid for it. It¡¯s a big blessing, and we made a lot of preparations. It¡¯s natural that we win this battle.¡±
"By the way, how is the situation in Gaochang? Have you made arrangements?"
Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said: "Everything was done in the same way as the Yanqi Kingdom, supporting the young king to ascend to the throne. Similarly, we also left a very small number of officials who were willing to surrender to us and stand on our side. And the new king also brought Gaochang Kingdom up and down. On the surface, it is the king and officials of Gaochang who give the orders, but in fact, our officials are stationed in various places to control the local areas."
Zhao Xun nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's very good. In addition, regional restructuring, co-organizing prefectures and counties, and counting residents must be implemented immediately. In addition, county soldiers and prefectural soldiers above the local level must be formed immediately. Here, we still follow the example of Yanqi State and pacify the entire Gaochang State in the shortest possible time.¡±
"As for those die-hard elements, they will all be sent to the areas in the north that are in contact with the Turks and build them on the spot.Although the pond cannot be said to be compared with the Great Wall, it should also form a protective belt on the horizontal axis. "
After a pause, Zhao Xun continued: "Although we have captured the capital of Gaochang, we have not controlled the south and west of Gaochang. The west is better, and it was completely messed up by the Kucha army. The local people should be very happy if we take over. After all, only through suffering can we understand the value of peace.¡±
"As for the south of Gaochang Kingdom, it wants to join forces with Yanqi Kingdom. Now, there are still 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom and Qingzhuang garrison in the south. If we can win here peacefully, it is naturally the best. If not, we must Kill them in the shortest possible time. If these soldiers escape, they will definitely become a disaster to the local area."
"In addition, send an order to the Kucha Army to stop their actions, station on the spot, and wait for orders. If the western region can accept the new king's order, then it is naturally the best. If not, then the only option is to let the Kucha Kingdom The army continues to cause harm."
"In addition, we must increase the settlement of immigrants and expand trade routes. For us, trade routes not only bring huge financial revenue, but also drive Han people to move westward and immigrate here. Only when the proportion of Han people here increases can we Let the Han people occupy this place permanently. Even if the Zhao Dynasty ceases to exist, this land in the Western Region will still be the territory of the Han people. "
"By the way" Zhao Xun suddenly remembered something and said to Situ Liang, "Intensify the spies to the west of Gaochang Kingdom. It seems that to the west of Gaochang Kingdom, the more powerful Wusun Kingdom in the northwest of the Western Region is also somewhat unstable. No matter what, we need to know all their actions, especially those directed against us, and we need this information.¡±
Situ Liang responded: "Your Majesty, do you understand that the Lord is worried about the Wusun Kingdom sending troops? We have no enmity with the Wusun Kingdom, and they are not our current target. Logically speaking, they should not have such a big impact on us. On the occasion of our victory, why are you planning on us?" - Didn't finish reading?
