That night, Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao led the Zhao army into the Kunmi Army camp, killing everyone on sight and setting fire everywhere. If the Zhao army simply attacked and set fire to the food, the five thousand elite Wusun troops would still be able to fight to the death.
" However, the thunderbolts used by Zhao Jun were too lethal. Especially at night, it is deafening and blazing. In addition, the Wusun Army in Feicheng did not expect that the Zhao Army would appear in the rear of the Wusun Army, causing the Wusun Army to be lax in guarding and in poor position to counterattack when attacked. As a result, the fighting between the two sides was simply one-sided.
Several times, the Wusun army began to form formations under the orders of the officers, preparing to fight. However, they were helpless in the face of Zhao Jun's thunder. The current Zhentian Lei is smaller in overall size than before, but its lethality is greater. The iron beads placed in the thunder are extremely powerful when fired by gunpowder.
The Wusun Army had never seen this kind of weapon before, and it was at night, so it completely collapsed under the repeated bombings of the Thunder Thunder. Thousands of Wusun troops immediately fled in all directions, no longer caring about their duties. Even if they know their responsibilities, for them, even if they are executed for losing Feicheng in the future, it is better than being bombarded to pieces by Zhao Jun's unknown weapon.
After the Wusun Army lost resistance, Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao, who entered from the east and west gates, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although they have seven thousand soldiers, if they cannot burn Feicheng as quickly as possible, then the task of destroying the Wusun Army's important logistics base will not be completed.
They were not worried that they could not kill the Wusun Army in Feicheng, but they were worried that the stalemate would last too long and the surrounding Wusun Army would hear the news and come to the rescue. You know, on this night, the red fire that reflected half of the sky was enough to make the Wusun Army city dozens of miles away notice something abnormal here.
If this was just a city, perhaps reinforcements wouldn¡¯t have rushed in before they figured out the situation. However, this is where the Wusun Army stores food and grass. It would be unreasonable if reinforcements did not come as quickly as possible after hearing the news. Furthermore, Zhao Jun's sky-shaking thunder also spread far in the silent night, enough for other Wusun troops approaching the city to notice something unusual here.
Therefore, after entering the city gate, the east and west armies directly used thunder to clear the way, and used the most brutal force to kill the Wusun army. After the Wusun army collapsed, Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao understood that Feicheng was already in their possession. Of course, what they need is not to occupy this place, but to destroy it.
After several military formations organized by officers were destroyed by Zhao Jun with mysterious, explosive weapons, the Wusun Army was completely disintegrated. Most of the officers and generals were killed on the spot by Zhao Jun's thunderbolts while organizing resistance. For these officers and generals, they knew very well the importance of this fat city to the Wusun Army. Unlike ordinary soldiers, if something goes wrong here, ordinary soldiers may be fine. But these officers and generals will definitely die without a burial place, and even their families may be implicated.
Suddenly, the entire Feicheng became chaotic. The military camps on the east and west sides of Feicheng were the key targets of Zhao Jun. One by one, the sky-shaking thunder exploded the Wusun Army barracks to pieces and was immediately set on fire. In the flames, many soldiers could see some Wusun soldiers who had not yet escaped from the camp. They got up in the sea of ????fire and ran away until they were reduced to ashes
Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao led Zhao Jun's cavalry to kill several times in Feicheng. Countless kerosene was thrown, and countless torches and rockets were released by the soldiers, turning the entire Feicheng into flames in an instant. City. After confirming that all the granaries in the city were set alight and all the residents' houses were burned, Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao led the Zhao cavalry to quickly evacuate under the cover of night. After they left the city, they immediately divided into dozens of teams and dispersed. But above the city gate of Feicheng, the flaming unicorn flag still echoes the sky-high flames of Feicheng.
Feicheng was set on fire by the Zhao army, and the entire sky was turned red. The Wusun army among the two nearest cities naturally discovered something unusual in the direction of Feicheng. And with the rumbling sound, people quickly realized that something was wrong here in Feicheng.
Feicheng is crucial to the Wusun Army. After hearing the news, the Wusun Army garrison generals in the two cities immediately got up from their beds. Regardless of whether there was something wrong with Feicheng, they immediately reorganized their troops and prepared for immediate support.
Both of them knew very well that if they went to protect Feicheng and caused problems in the city they were defending, then at most they would be severely reprimanded by the general or demoted. But if Feicheng is in danger and they are unfavorable for a long time, the consequences will be unpredictable. If Feicheng is lost, then they and others may lose their lives.
The reinforcements from the two places ran at high speed, heading straight for Feicheng. At the same time, the leaders of the two reinforcements were praying secretly, hoping that nothing would really happen to Feicheng. Even if there is an enemy attack, we must persist until our own rescue arrives.??
However, the prayers of the two reinforcements did not bring them good luck. The reinforcements from the two cities gathered outside Feicheng within half a stick of incense time.
Looking at Feicheng, which had turned into a sea of ??flames and could not be entered, and the fluttering flaming unicorn flag, the commander-in-chief of the two reinforcements turned pale and trembled all over. It's nothing if Feicheng is destroyed, and it's nothing if all five thousand elite troops are wiped out. However, the burning of the food and supplies stored in the city made them feel cold all over, and they no longer had any thoughts in their minds.
The Wusun army that the two generals came to rescue this time were all cavalry, with a total of more than 10,000 people. After the two discussed it, they gave up on putting out the fire in Feicheng when they saw that there was really no way to put out the fire. After some discussion, the two sent people to report to the general Xiangli in Xisha City to the east, and at the same time began to investigate the traces of the Zhao army who attacked Feicheng at night.
"This flaming unicorn flag is the military flag of Zhao Jun, and no one except Zhao Jun can do it in such a short period of time. Apart from Zhao Jun, this general needs to know who these bastards are. Traces." The two generals summoned their generals and ordered sternly.
What made the two of them secretly cursed was that the soldiers guarding the city, five thousand elites, were actually broken into the city and defeated the defenders by Zhao Jun in such a period of time. If he could have persisted until he came to the rescue, why would he be in this situation now? While cursing and ordering his soldiers to investigate Zhao Jun's whereabouts, he was still thinking of ways to deal with this disaster. As far as the two were concerned, they were completely innocent and were implicated.
It is a pity that the actions of the two generals of the Wusun Army could not be realized, and the traces of Zhao Jun could not be found at all. Outside Feicheng, there are traces of the knights leaving in all directions. Moreover, the farther the distance, the more branches there are, making it impossible for the soldiers under his command to follow them. Especially at night, it is impossible to detect the enemy's traces and increase their speed. The fleeing enemy troops might actually be running wildly across the road.
"You said the attack on Feicheng was caused by horse thieves?" General Chelin City was angrily scolded by the scout under his command, "Are you a pig or do you plan to treat me like a pig? Huh? Horse thieves? Horse thieves can use this unknown thing Weapons can open the gate of Feicheng? There are no people in Feicheng, and the gate has been closed for a long time. Do you think that a group of horse thieves can turn this gate that has never been opened into pieces? Besides, do the horse thieves have any siege equipment? Judging from the traces on the fragments of the city gate, this was not the work of ordinary siege equipment at all.¡±
"In addition, do you think the horse thieves dare to provoke us at this time? Dare to send troops to attack our food storage place? Also, since they are horse thieves, why did they burn this fat city instead of taking away the supplies in the city? Finally, this burning city The residence and granary are filled with kerosene, do you think the horse thieves can get so many things?¡±
"You are a scout, you have to find out more, idiot! By the way, where are the traces of Zhao Jun? Can you find out which direction they fled? If we can't wipe out these Zhao Jun, you and I will not be able to escape the blame." After the general roared for a while, he returned to the starting point. Now, the traces of Zhao Jun are the most important.
The scout said bitterly: "General, my subordinates all understand what you said. However, judging from the traces left on the ground, there were more than forty teams of various sizes who attacked Feicheng. After they broke the city , have fled in all directions. In addition, in addition to the traces of their escape, there are also a lot of food and various standard weapons of our army carried out from the city, most of which may be the enemy's escape. Scattered.¡±
"It is precisely because of this that my subordinates said that the incoming enemy troops were horse thieves. In addition, we also found many fragments of various flags and various pieces of armor. These are not standard equipment." Of course the small school didn't know this. Zhao Jun can gather in the area occupied by Wusun Army, so naturally it is impossible to wear Zhao Jun's standard armor. During this half month of preparations, there was no problem for these Zhao Jun to pretend to be horse thieves. And the things left behind are naturally done deliberately.
"It's ridiculous. Isn't it possible that Zhao Jun deliberately pretended to be like this so that we can be fooled?" the general scolded coldly. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, he could not report it. He knew that in Langu City, hundreds of miles away in the east, the guard there was executed by the general because the enemy attacked Languyuan and robbed tens of thousands of horses. He did not want to suffer because of this.
"But, general, this area of ??hundreds of miles is under the jurisdiction of our Wusun Army. How could we not know if thousands of Zhao troops appeared here? It is said that our army in the east has the upper hand, and the Zhao army is in a defensive position. Dare to fight back. Thinking about it, this should be the remnant army of the Gaochang Kingdom, trying to make us fight to the death with the Zhao army. Although the new king is attached to the Zhao army, the army here is very respected. The attack of the Kucha Army, which was carried out under the orders of Zhao Jun, had the intention of harming Zhao Jun." Someone expressed his speculation.
The two generals thought for a moment that this might be possible. But soon thisThese thoughts were suppressed in their hearts. As generals, they naturally looked further than others. They knew very well the importance of this Feicheng to the Wusun Army, and what it meant to the Wusun Army if this Feicheng was not burned down. If you want to save your life, no matter who the raider is, you must catch him.
"Check, continue to investigate, be sure to find out the traces of the enemy. Remember, even if they are horse thieves, I, the general, need to know where their traces are? Send an order to the surrounding cities about the situation here, and ask them to assist in the investigation." Another one. the general said urgently.
"Now that something has happened, we can't just let the two of us bear it. We should all bear this responsibility together, so as to avoid the punishment of death," the two generals thought secretly in their hearts. They want to spread the situation here to other surrounding cities in the shortest possible time, and they also want other generals to share the responsibility with themselves.
Although the two of them thought of ways to reduce their punishment, they did not expect how much impact the Wusun Army would have if the news spread that the Feicheng was destroyed and all the food and supplies were burned.
The news of the Battle of Feicheng was like having wings. Within a few days, it spread throughout all the areas occupied by the Wusun Army. Of course, Zhao Xun and Li Chenfeng also received the news at the same time.
"Haha OK, we have endured it for so many days and it's finally over." After hearing the exact news, Li Chenfeng immediately laughed and said, "Everyone, it's time to fight back."
Wei Zilin smiled and said: "I don't know how it happened, but the Wusun Army actually spread the news, causing Wusun Army everywhere to start rioting. The spies we arranged in various places did not play any role in fighting. ¡±
Li Chenfeng smiled and said: "Although the Wusun Army themselves did the spreading of the news, the matter of contacting the horse thieves in the areas occupied by the Wusun Army and the remnants of the original Gaochang Army, these brothers who were active in enemy territory They have made great contributions. Not to mention, Lan Guyuan hid 30,000 war horses for us and Feicheng provided cover for our soldiers. This is all due to the brothers of the Shadow Division and the Eagle Eye Division. "
Wei Zilin said: "Now, don't worry about credit or not, the army is ready. Not only our Zhao army, but also the Gaochang Army and Kucha Army, who have been waiting impatiently, are also in high spirits at this moment. "
Li Chenfeng understood that Wei Zilin was reminding himself that in this operation, the Gaochang Army and the Kucha Army should be the vanguard and fight on the front line as much as possible to reduce Zhao Jun's losses.
The Wusun Army opposite Li Chenfeng was not in such a good mood. The head coach of the Wusun Army, Xiang Li, was originally happy about the attack on Gao Changguo on the opposite side in recent days. He did not want to fight, but a piece of news made him stop. The hot summer days turn into the coldest days of winter.
When they first heard that Feicheng was attacked by enemy troops and all the food and supplies were burned, Xiang Li and others did not believe it at all. But then the news that came from behind made him understand that this was true.
Immediately, after receiving reports from the scouts, the coalition forces on the opposite side were dispatched one after another to attack the cities in the west, and after the enemy troops prepared siege equipment, Xiang Li immediately understood that the attack on Feicheng should be done by Zhao Jun. Even if Zhao Jun did not personally send out the men and horses, it was Zhao Jun who gathered the horse thieves to do it. The concession that was possible before was to attract his attention to the east. At the same time, it was also necessary to arouse the resentment of the entire Gaochang Kingdom against the Wusun Army.
At this time, Xiangli had no better way but to defend the city. At the same time, while asking for help from the country, hoping that the country could transport a batch of grain and grass supplies to support; at the same time, it quickly mobilized the defenders in the central and western parts of the country to gather eastward and defend the city. At the very least, they must insist on not losing the territory they currently occupy. area.
From Xiang Li's point of view, even if all the coalition forces on the opposite side were to mobilize, they would still be on par with him. But he has the advantage of the city. As long as the rear can provide timely support, the enemy in the area should not be a problem. However, he ignored the Qiuci Kingdom in the southwest.
The raid on Feicheng was successful, so Zhao Xun naturally got the news. Immediately, he sent an order to the King of Kucha to summon the soldiers of Kucha Kingdom to prepare for a full-scale attack. This time, except for the 10,000 soldiers stationed in Qiuci and the garrison troops in various places who have begun to reorganize, all the rest of the Zhao army in Qiuci Kingdom will be dispatched.
After the Wusun army began to mobilize eastward, more than 10,000 Zhao troops and 30,000 Kucha troops suddenly appeared in the Kucha Kingdom. They divided their troops into three groups and advanced northward. This is what Zhao Xun hopes to see in the Kucha Kingdom. It is impossible for these Kucha army troops to continue to exist in the Kucha Kingdom. Except for being injured and retired, except for some being selected into the garrison, the rest can only Fight for the Zhao army until death
After learning that tens of thousands of enemy troops had been killed in the Qiuci Kingdom, Xiang Li, the commander-in-chief of the Wusun Army, suddenly felt despair. At this moment, he already understood that his side was losing ground. The Wusun Army lacked supplies of food, grass, supplies and armor, but the Zhao Army received three, four, and five aids from the Kucha State and was occupied by the Wusun Army.support from the local people. At this moment, Xiang Li even understood why the Zhao army on the opposite side was on the defensive against his surprise attack and allowed himself to do whatever he wanted. It turned out that he wanted our actions to anger the residents of Gaochang State.
Xiang Li¡¯s guess was very accurate, because most of the garrisons in the western and central areas occupied by the Wusun Army were transferred to the east, so the guards in various places were lax. However, at this time, within the territory of Gaochang Kingdom occupied by the Wusun Army, there were only one resistance army after another. Some of them were horse thieves, and some were small teams organized by Zhao Jun, but soon they gathered countless people from Gaochang State to counterattack the Wusun Army in these places.
In just half a month, the Wusun Army had lost eight of the thirteen cities occupied, and countless small towns and residential areas. The Qiuci army combined with the Zhao soldiers and the siege equipment built by the Zhao army craftsmen were almost invincible to cities everywhere.
Xisha City was captured by Li Chenfeng, and Xiang Li fled in embarrassment with his defeated army. At this moment, the Zhao army's offensive had exceeded his expectations, and the Wusun army was unable to hold on to the arrival of support from the rear. While escaping from Xisha City, Xiang Li received news that another city had been captured by the Zhao army.
Li Chenfeng¡¯s troops and Qiuci Kingdom¡¯s troops were like the two big pincers of a crab, attacking towards the center from the south and the east. Behind the Wusun Army, Zhang Ju and Nangong Hao were also in action. Suddenly, the area controlled by Wusun Army was attacked by multiple Zhao armies outside, and chaos broke out inside
