Chapter 636: Great victory in this battle
"Report, General, the eldest prince of Khotan brought his two younger brothers to visit."
A scout captain rushed over from a distance, and saw Jiang Hao rolling over and dismounting, bowing his hand to report.
Have you finally arrived, "Okay, call them over."
Soon, the three of them came to Jiang Hao. Although they were princes, they did not dare to be arrogant and saluted Jiang Hao together, "Kolimu, Border Horse, and German Shepherd have seen the Protector. The father was in poor health. The three of us came to visit the general."
"The eldest prince Kelimu, the second prince Border master, and the third prince Demu are all brave people. King Khotan has three good sons." Jiang Hao nodded to the three princes with a smile and praised.
"The Protector of the Great is praised, and I dare not take it." Ke Limu said quickly.
"The three princes come here, but King Khotan made a decision?" Jiang Hao said.
"Yes, my father has made a decision. I, Khotan, will fully support the Protector and draw out two thousand people from the war soldiers, led by my two younger brothers, Border Horse and German Shepherd, and commanded by the Protector." The prince said.
After the eldest prince finished speaking, the Border Horseman and the German Shepherd took a step forward and saluted Jiang Hao again, "I have seen the Great Protector, and I will obey the Great Protector's orders from now on."
The King of Khotan is really sensible. Jiang Hao is very happy, so he can save a lot of trouble. Jiang Hao said to the eldest prince: "It is not difficult to take down Shache. According to my investigation, Shache attacked Kucha Kingdom half a year ago, and then divided the troops to garrison Shache. At this time, the available troops of Shache Kingdom were only about 8,000."
"After I get off the Sha car, I can sign an agreement with Khotan. Both sides will never infringe on them, and Khotan will live a stable life in the future."
When the eldest prince Kelimu heard this, he showed joy on his face, "It's so good, I, Khotan, don't like fighting at all, so it's best to be able to live a stable life."
In this way, Jiang Hao had two thousand more combat soldiers under his command, and the Western Regions coalition forces had just reached 10,000. Everything was ready, and it was time to take action.
Shache Kingdom, I don’t know if you are ready.
"Convene everyone and hold the first coalition military meeting." Jiang Hao said loudly.
The guard reported that all the leaders of the coalition forces and Jiang Hao's subordinates all came to Jiang Hao's tent to gather. Jiang Hao sat in the main seat and looked at a group of loyal dogs below. With these people there, he had the capital to roam the Western Regions.
"Everyone, I am planning to face the country of Shache from tomorrow, directly putting pressure on Shache." Jiang Hao said.
"Let's wait for the general to dispatch!"
Everyone in the tent said in unison.
Jin Damao raised a big map, Jiang Hao pointed to the map and said, "This is Shache. Enter Shache's border tomorrow and then head towards Shache Ye City. Shache will definitely react. All we have to do is to defeat him at once, and then use this as a base to approach Shache City."
At this time, Prince Yanqi asked, "What if the people of Shache are closed and don't leave?"
Jiang Hao laughed, "There are tens of thousands of people in Shache City, only such a big place. If the city is trapped in one month, their food will be exhausted. During this period, we can rob the villages and towns around Shache, and there will be a steady stream of cattle, sheep and horses. Who do you think can persist?"
At this time, someone asked: "But if we besieged the city and Shache asked for help from other places, such as to Kucha, the number of troops increased and exceeded that of us, then the war would be difficult to fight."
Jiang Hao's smile even stronger: "Kucha sent troops to help, that is exactly what I want to see most. I am afraid that he will not come. If Kucha sends troops, I will let them disappear directly into the desert."
Jiang Hao’s plan is very simple, with thirty-six strategies to surround Wei and save Zhao.
Of course, if Shache can't hold on, don't blame him for being greedy and even swallowed the bones and meat. In short, Jiang Hao didn't want to let go of the fat meat on both sides.
Jiang Hao was planning to attack Shache here, but Shache Kingdom did not feel any crisis at all. At this moment, their king was enjoying himself in the palace, immersed in the joy of capturing Kucha a few months ago.
......
Melodious music,
Several dancers wearing gauze danced barefoot on the jade floor, their clothes flying, and their danced in a sleek manner.
King Shache and several ministers were drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very leisurely.
At this moment, a general in armor suddenly led his way in and saw the queen shouting loudly: "Master, something is not good. A large army came from Yutian. At this time, he had arrived in Yecheng. Yecheng's troops fought with him. The entire army was wiped out. Only a few escaped to report the news and asked the lord to decide as soon as possible."
Bang!
Bang!
The jade cup in the king's hand fell to the ground, and it collided with the jade ground, and it suddenly broke into countless pieces.
"Where did the army come from? Are they from Khotan? There are 2,000 people in the Zena tribe, so how could it be defeated in an instant!" King Shache roared.
The general wearing armor said, "The person who ran back to deliver the letter said that there were tens of thousands of people on the other side. The Zenas army did not investigate at the beginning and led troops to attack the enemy. Suddenly, two more troops emerged from both sides. They didn't even have the chance to retreat, so they were defeated. There were not many casualties and injuries, and they were all captured."
"Ten thousand people! Ten thousand people!"
"How could there be tens of thousands of people? Where did the tens of thousands of troops come from? Could it be that they were the Huns? It's not right. Didn't the Huns support us?"
Several ministers of Shache Country who had just enjoyed singing and dancing were also frightened by the news. Tens of thousands of soldiers were not what they could do.
In ancient times, the scale of wars was all based on the region. For example, in the Central Plains, the Central Plains had a large population. A battle of thousands of people could only be called a battle. A battle of tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people was called a battle.
In the Western Regions, more than 5,000 people can be called a war. If it was the Warring States Period in Japan, it would be amazing. The battle of 500 people can be called a battle and is remembered in history.
Shache has a population of more than 60,000 and more than 14,000 soldiers. She invaded Kucha and divided 6,000 troops to suppress the Kucha people. Now the entire Shache has only 8,000 soldiers. Now, in a battle, the generals guarding Yecheng, the second largest city in Shache, were captured and wiped out, and then there were only 6,000 left. How can the king not be surprised?
King Shache took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked at the other ministers and asked in a deep voice: "What are your countermeasures?"
Several ministers looked at each other, and finally the prime minister stood up and said, "Master, we don't understand the enemy's situation now. For the sake of this, the first thing we need to do is to figure out the enemy's situation, and the second thing we need to ask for help."
"Who should I ask for help?" asked King Shache.
"Of course, I asked for help from the great prince Kucha Kingdom. Now the great prince has 20,000 troops in his hands. As long as he sends troops, he can defeat the invading enemy." said the prime minister.
The king immediately slapped his thigh, "Yes, the prime minister has a very good opinion, reconnaissance the enemy situation, and then ask for help from Kucha."
......
The west wind is fierce, and the flag of the Western Regions Alliance is fluttering in the wind. There is a black flag in the middle, which is Jiang Hao's handsome flag.
There are ten thousand people, boundless and unobstructed. The team of ten thousand cavalrymen is pulled apart, and anyone will be frightened when they see that kind of formation.
After stepping across the Kavenvas River, further ahead is Yecheng, the second largest city of Shache, with a population of four or five thousand people, and two thousand soldiers stationed at Shache.
Jiang Hao immediately ordered that he personally led 2,000 Khotan soldiers to advance from the middle road, and took the flag of the Khotan Kingdom. Two thousand soldiers and horses of the Yanqi soldiers and the Yuli Kingdom surrounded them from both sides, and led the Shache people out to attack them in one fell swoop, and the others were responsible for placing the back.
The plan was very simple, but the minds of the Western Regions were even worse. Jiang Hao's team moved forward slowly and was soon discovered by the Yecheng defenders. The scout returned to Yecheng to report and said that the Khotan people sent troops to invade. General Shache, who was stationed in Yecheng, immediately ordered his troops to attack when he heard that the old rival the Khotan people had arrived.
The Shache people are not afraid of the Khotan people. They often beat the Khotan people to scream. Now that they have just captured the Kucha Kingdom, it is the moment when their confidence is inflated. Not long ago, King Shache was planning when he would completely conquer the Khotan Kingdom.
I didn't go to beat you, but I dared to come and provoke you. Isn't this giving us a chance?
Zena took two thousand people out of the city, and rushed towards Jiang Hao's vanguard. On the wilderness and sand, the two armies confronted each other five or six hundred meters apart.
The wind is even more violent,
The blown sand hit people's faces and it hurt, but none of the two armies retreated. Zener originally wanted to shout, but he saw a thicker and larger flag suddenly raised from the flag of the Khotan people in the middle. However, the flag was about meter long, and the black flag made people feel sank in their hearts.
Just as Zener was confused, suddenly there were sounds of horse hooves on both sides. The momentum of the galloping horses made people's heart tremble. Zener looked to both sides and saw a cavalry team rushing towards each side, carrying rolling smoke.
"Not good, I've been trapped!"
Zener shouted "Not good" and immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
But at this moment he had already entered the encirclement and was not so easy to retreat. The three troops were all the same as others. Two thousand Shache cavalrymen were surrounded. As soon as they came into contact, they shot a rain of arrows, and Shache people fell down immediately.
"Dropping off the horse and surrender without killing!"
"Dropping off the horse and surrender without killing!"
After one round, Jiang Hao's cavalry began to shout loudly one by one, while the bows and arrows in his hands were still shooting.
When the Shache people saw that there was really no hope, there was no hope for running, so surrender.
Immediately someone jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground.
There was the first one and the second one. Soon most of the Shache people chose to surrender. When Ziner saw that the situation was hopeless, he led his own guard and wanted to escape from a bloody road.
Looking around, there were enemy cavalry everywhere. Where could they run? Zener was also a fierce general. Suddenly, he saw the black flag. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the black flag with more than a dozen cavalry.
"Protect General!"
Jin Damao raised his spear in his hand and shouted loudly. Jiang Hao's twenty cavalry guards immediately rode their horses in front of Jiang Hao.
Looking at the brake general who was rushing towards him with gritted teeth, Jiang Hao smiled coldly, "Since I'm asking for death, I'll give you my best."
A large bow was taken from the saddle, and an arrow suddenly appeared in his hand. He pulled the whole month with force.
Whoosh~~
The black arrow was like a black lightning bolt. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Zener. Before Zener could react, the arrow penetrated his cheek.
Zener didn't even make a shout, and his body suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground with a thump. Because of inertia, his body rolled on the ground for a few times before stopping, and he lay on the ground and stopped moving.
Some people say,
If you can't do this, you should rush out and fight with the other party alone, so that you can show your skills. Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it would be so satisfying to have a fight against each other alone.
What Jiang Hao wants to say is,
That's really because I have read too much of the Romance. Fighting generals will only appear in the storybook. In real ancient wars, there are very few fighters who will only protect the coach well. The coach's responsibility is more about strategizing and commanding, rather than fighting on the court.
No matter how powerful your personal force is, you can beat several soldiers. The Western Chu King is invincible, and dozens of soldiers can still kill him.
Besides, didn’t Jiang Hao shoot? He killed the enemy with a low profile, and still showed his super strong force.
"kill!"
Jin Damao shouted loudly and rushed over with twenty cavalry under his command. The two sides fought together. At this time, the Han army was much better than Shache soldiers in terms of physical strength and psychological state. In just a few rounds, these dozen cavalry were cut off, and all of them were taken down.
Jiang Hao looked into the distance. At this time, several armies had already separated and surrounded Shache soldiers and had no power to resist.
This battle will be a great victory.
Chapter completed!
