Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The Persian advance legion is crossing the Congling Mountains and marching towards the Shule Kingdom at the westernmost point of the Western Region.
The Chu cavalry army commanded by Yan Liang has left Jingjue and is heading towards the hinterland of Khotan.
The Kingdom of Khotan contributed a lot in the battle of Gaochangbi, sending tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, but the result was heavy losses, and almost no one escaped back to the country.
Suffering this heavy blow, the Khotan Kingdom can be said to have suffered a great loss in national strength. The military strength of its affiliated Jingjue Kingdom can be said to be their only effective force to prevent the Chu army from advancing westward.
Once the Jingjue Kingdom was destroyed, the gates of Khotan were wide open and there were almost no troops to defend them.
Yan Liang took Pang De as the vanguard and led 20,000 cavalry to sweep westward. There was panic in all parts of Khotan. However, when the Chu army attacked, either Kaicheng surrendered or all the soldiers and civilians abandoned the city and fled.
Pound easily captured the subsidiary city-states of Kumi, Ningmi, Xicheng, Ronglu, and Pishan with almost no effort.
Within seven days, Pang De¡¯s army had defeated Khotan.
The King of Khotan did not dare to resist the Chu army and was unwilling to surrender, so he fled westward with more than 10,000 people to rely on Shule.
Yan Liang told Pang De's army to continue moving forward and sweep away any enemy who dared to resist.
Yan Liang himself led the army and followed up later. Moreover, he took Fu Hong, mother and daughter, with him on the Western Expedition.
Na Fuhong has always regarded the Persians as their saviors, thinking that the Persians were their saviors. Yan Liang wanted her to see with her own eyes how their saviors were wiped out by herself.
Yan Liang wants to completely destroy them mentally and physically. Let them surrender physically and mentally to themselves.
On the South Road of the Western Regions, the Chu army is making good progress, and on the North Road of the Western Regions. The 20,000 Northern Route Army commanded by Wen Chou and Xu Shu was also overwhelming.
Since the division of troops in Nanhe City, Wen Chou's army has successively defeated the city-states of Qiuci Kingdom such as Tagancheng, Shicheng, Wensu, and Weitou. The Qiuci Kingdom, whose strength was greatly damaged in the battle of Gaochangbi, is simply vulnerable.
Under Wen Chou's offensive, the king and nobles of Guici Kingdom, as well as a large number of soldiers and civilians. They also fled their country and took refuge in Shule.
At one time, there were five major countries in the Western Regions. More than thirty city-states, four of which have been destroyed, Shule State, located at the westernmost end of the Western Region Basin, has become the last refuge of the Western Regions people.
Yan Liang showed no mercy. Shule Kingdom is one of the targets that must be eradicated.
He then sent an order to Wen Chou on Pegasus. He was ordered to continue advancing westward, and the two armies would join forces in Shule State and attack from the north and south, annihilating the last hope of the people of the Western Regions.
¡¡
South of Shule, Shacheng.
Thirty miles south of the city, on the Gobi road leading to the oasis, a mighty army is advancing fiercely.
The flying hooves of horses. The sky is blocked out and the sun is covered with dust and fog. The red flag of Chu was flying proudly.
Pound galloped forward on his horse, running at the forefront of the army.
His 20,000 cavalry have swept through the entire Khotan. In front of them is Yarkand, the southern gate of Shule Kingdom. As long as this city is captured, the red flag of Chu can be planted on the land of Shule Kingdom.
The emperor's army was not far behind. Pang De, the pioneer, was not willing to let the emperor take action. He had planned to single-handedly wipe out the entire Shule Kingdom and take the greatest credit in pacifying the Western Regions.
¡°Obviously, judging from the current situation, Pound is fully capable of this.
According to previous intelligence, Shache City only had less than 2,000 soldiers and horses from Shule Kingdom, and the people in the city were in panic, making it difficult to hold on.
¡°Perhaps, by the time the army arrived, Shache City would have been completely deserted and everyone would have escaped.
With this thought in his mind, Pang De asked the army to move forward faster.
After running for more than half an hour, the terrain ahead became increasingly flat, the Gobi desert gradually receded, and green spaces gradually appeared.
We are about to enter the oasis, Yarkand City should not be far away.
Suddenly, there was a huge cloud of dust and mist right in front, and thunder rumbled, as if a group of soldiers and horses were coming to kill them.
Pang De frowned and thought to himself: "What's going on? Do the people of Shule still dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to attack? Humph, if they dare to take the initiative to attack, I will kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
Pang De was not suspicious and ordered the army to slow down, form a formation, and prepare for a battle.
Marching is different from fighting on the battlefield. The long snake-like marching formation is not conducive to combat. Pound is good at cavalry combat. Even if he does not take the enemy seriously, he will not underestimate the enemy in combat.
In a moment, 20,000 cavalry formed an iron wall formation and advanced steadily towards the enemy.
The two dust storms are getting closer and closer, and the enemy's flag is becoming more and more distinct.
When Pang De saw the enemy's shape clearly,?The brows could not help but frown.
The army that came to kill was so vast that it numbered tens of thousands of people.
And, they are all cavalry!
The Shule Kingdom suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Gaochangbi. How could they suddenly gather tens of thousands of cavalry?
As he got closer, Pound became even more surprised.
Because he discovered that the flag the enemy was facing was not the flag of Shule State at all, but the fire cloud flag written in incomprehensible bird script.
Even the equipment and description of the enemy cavalry are completely different from those of the Western Region Army.
With all these factors, how could it not make Pound feel deeply suspicious.
Just when Pound was wondering, the two armies had already advanced relative to each other, and were only a stone's throw away from each other.
The enemy army on the opposite side did not slow down at all. Instead, it launched a fierce attack before the Chu army accelerated.
"Could it bethe Persian army!"
Pound's heart suddenly shook, and this astonishing thought flashed through his mind.
Scanning the incoming enemies carefully, Pang De immediately confirmed that his judgment was correct.
Shule Kingdom does not have such a powerful cavalry force, and the enemy in front of them is also very different from the people in the Western Regions. There was intelligence in advance that the Persians were approaching the Western Regions, so the enemy in front of them must be the Persian vanguard army.
¡°The Persians came so quickly, they have already reached Yarkand!¡±
Pound's nerves immediately became tense. The Persians arrived too suddenly, and the situation in front of him seemed to be unfavorable to his own army. He immediately thought of withdrawing his troops first and joining the emperor's main force.
With the next breath, Pang De rejected the idea of ????retreating.
"The Persian army came from afar and thought they could catch us off guard. If I retreat without fighting now, wouldn't it only increase the arrogance of the Persian army? The two countries have not started a war. I will let Chu lose his energy first!"
His mind was racing, and in the blink of an eye, Pang De had suppressed his surprise, his sword eyebrows were deeply condensed, and his fierce fighting spirit was igniting wildly.
Pang De pointed his sword forward and roared: "Warriors of Chu. The Persians are right in front of you. Follow me and kill them. Let's show off our majesty of Chu. Kill¡ª¡ª"
Amidst the loud shouts, Pound clapped his horse, brandished his sword, and rushed out at high speed.
Behind him were 20,000 Chu cavalry. With a thunderous killing sound. Galloping out, rolling toward.
If they were still a little surprised when they first discovered that the enemy was not Shule people, but the mysterious Persian Legion, then now, that little bit of surprise has long been swallowed up by the fanatical fighting spirit.
Because they are the warriors of Chu. They are the warriors of Saint Lord Yan Liang in this world. Only the enemy is frightened by them, there is absolutely no reason for them to fear the enemy.
"kill¡ª¡ª"
"kill¡ª¡ª"
Twenty thousand cavalrymen, without hesitation, charged forward like a giant steel spear.
Facing the front, the fierce Persian army was also shocked by the "arrogance" of the Chu army.
A light of surprise flashed across Minos' proud face as he galloped wildly.
After he led 30,000 Persian cavalry across the Congling Mountains, he quietly entered the Shule Kingdom. Under the guidance of local Zoroastrian personnel, he reached an alliance agreement with King Hundu of Shule.
Minos ordered the lord of Shule to Hundu not to spread the news of the arrival of the Persian army. He rushed from Shule City to Yarkand overnight in order to catch the Chu army by surprise.
Minos originally thought that when his 30,000-strong army suddenly came out, it would be a great shock to the Chu army, and the Chu army would probably choose to retreat temporarily in shock.
He did not expect that the Chu army was not timid at all, but instead charged forward even more arrogantly.
"The Eastern army has such discipline and fighting spirit. It is indeed not an ordinary enemy."
Minos sighed in his heart, but the arrogance on his face became more and more arrogant. He snorted: "I, Minos, travel across Persia. No one can defeat me. Today I finally encountered a decent enemy army. Very good. Let me kill him." Have fun."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of laughter, Minos swung his iron spear and shouted: "Warriors of Great Persia, for the sake of His Majesty Hades, for the holy war of Zoroastrianism, kill all the evil Eastern pagans, kill -"
Thirty thousand Persian knights fell into madness in an instant, roaring the word "holy war" in their mouths, and rushed towards the Chu army.
A moment later, two huge cavalry regiments crashed into each other on the oasis.
It was an epic collision between two civilizations.
Without the emergence of Yan Liang, a time traveler, the empire in the East would not have been able to expand westward in this era.
If Yan Liang hadn¡¯t appeared, there would have been no Sima Yi fleeing westward, and the situation would havePeople will not expand eastward at this time under Sima Yi's instigation.
" Then, this encounter between the two major civilizations will not occur in the Western Region.
At this moment, the Chu Empire in the East and the Persian Empire in Central Asia, two completely different civilizations, and their war machines finally collided.
The blood mist soaring into the sky, the broken limbs splashing everywhere, the sound of weapons breaking, and the sound of people jumping on their backs and horses tumbling, all intertwined into a terrifying Shura song.
The collision did not result in a winner. The two civilized first-attack troops quickly became entangled and started a fierce melee.
The Persians are a semi-nomadic country, and the cavalry is a branch of arms they are proud of. The equipment and quality of their knights are truly the best in the world.
Although Da Chu is a farming country, under the control of Yan Liang, the iron-blooded emperor, he wiped out the barbarians on the frontier and turned the pastures that bred excellent war horses into the territory of Da Chu.
After years of bloody battles and training, the cavalry of Da Chu are also elites in hundreds of battles.
??Even in terms of discipline, Da Chu's army has an advantage.
Precisely because of this, although Pound's army was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, it was not at a disadvantage at all.
In the rebellious army, Pound's sword danced like a wheel, and the heads of the Persians were flying all over the sky.
The iron spear of Minos was also superb. When the spear passed by, a Chu soldier was stabbed off his horse.
In the heavy blood mist, the two top generals of civilization locked onto each other almost at the same time. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
