Chapter 250 Guo Jia’s First Battle

Zhang Fei arrived at the most critical moment in Yancheng. The Wusun people once again returned without success and retreated with hatred.

Of course, they were just temporarily retreating back to the camp and preparing to regroup and fight again in the future. The Wusun people paid a heavy price and now have an absolute advantage. It is impossible for them to be scared to go home because of the appearance of the Western Army of Four Thousand Towns.

So far, the Zhenxi Army has not had such a great deterrent effect in the Western Regions.

The people of Wusun come like waves and retreat like tides. They come quickly and retreat more quickly.

In a blink of an eye, the still alive Wusun people retreated completely. Below Yancheng, except for the corpses on the ground, there were blood everywhere. The sight was full of mess and terrible, and under the bright sun, it was particularly sad.

On the top of the city, Kuzh soldiers who survived by chance were lying on the blood-feeding city wall.

They were so tired that the Wusun people retreated and felt relieved. The overdrawn physical strength and the tense nerves that had been tense for a month were reflected at this moment. They didn't want to think about anything or do anything, and just lay quietly, sitting, looking at the corpses of their comrades around them and the flesh and blood of their enemies.

Yancheng was saved, and the King of Kucha was very happy, and he strode to the meteor to underground the city gate tower, and took all the ministers out of the city to greet Zhang Fei and others.

"Thank you, General, for coming to help from afar! I am very grateful!"

The King of Kucha swept away the decline on his face, got off his mount early, and greeted Zhang Fei and others with a smile on his face, exerting the most sincere Han etiquette. The King of Kucha is worthy of being the king of Kucha. He can not only speak fluent Chinese, but also the Han etiquette is in a proper manner.

"King Kucha, I am just doing my order. If you want to be grateful, you have to be grateful to my lord." Zhang Fei didn't care about these false gifts, nor did he care about the identity of the King of Kucha. He bowed to the King of Kucha and said carelessly.

"Your lord?" The King of Kucha, who had only a slight understanding of the situation of the Han army, asked inexplicably.

"My lord, the emperor, was appointed as the general of the Western District of Dahan Town and the Marquis of Wu, and was going to fight against the Huns in Loulan City. Therefore, the task of saving Kucha and defeating Wusun was handed over to me." Zhang Fei explained with a proud face and a little helplessness.

"I understand, please follow me to the city to rest."

After hearing Zhang Fei's words, the King of Kucha felt very uneasy even though he didn't show anything on his face.

As the King of Kucha, of course, they are familiar with the surrounding situation. The two nomadic powers in the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains, Wusun and Northern Huns, have suddenly divided their troops from east to west and south. The purpose is obvious that they have taken a fancy to the entire Western Regions.

Four thousand western troops stationed into Yancheng.

"Du,Du,Du..." The next morning, when the rising sun rose, the loud trumpets of the Wusun people sounded again outside the city, and the Wusun people began a new offensive.

The tall city gate tower in Yancheng became the temporary center of the coalition forces. Kucha King Kunmi was still wearing a royal suit with a floating ribbon. Zhang Fei and Huang Xu were wearing armor, holding weapons, and were full of murderous aura.

Even Guo Jia put on his armor and sword, and looked like he was ready to go into battle to kill the enemy.

The four of them stood on the high city gate tower, looking at the Wusun army pounced on like ants, with different expressions.

This time, the Wusun people were in a state of great potential. They ran ahead and carried out cavalry and shooting to suppress the cavalry. The Wusun people sent a thousand infantrymen to siege from all directions. They wanted to use their superior forces to completely destroy Yancheng.

"I entrust all the tens of thousands of people in the city to the general!" Looking at the Wusun army that was rushing towards us like a tide, the King of Kucha bowed and handed it to Zhang Fei's hand to his hands with a golden sword symbolizing the power of Kucha.

Kun Mi knew in his heart that the remaining two thousand Kucha soldiers could not stop these Wusun people no matter what. Whether they were alive or dead was all due to the black-faced generals in front of him. So although he was reluctant to leave, he still resolutely handed over the entire command to Zhang Fei, hoping that he could take Kucha to overcome the difficulties.

Zhang Fei didn't know what kind of politeness meant, let alone now is not the time to be polite. He took the golden sword from the King of Kucha, looked at it, and then handed it to Guo Jia who was standing on the side.

"I, Lao Zhang and Huang Xu, are responsible for leading the army, just rushing to kill the enemy. You are the military advisor and are responsible for command. If anyone is dissatisfied, I will kill him." Zhang Fei even more simply handed over the scrutiny to the young Guo Jia.

Zhang Fei has been with Huangfu Jian for many years, so he naturally knows that although Guo Jia is young, he is a very powerful person. The lord puts him by his side to make up for his shortcomings. Among these people, Guo Jia is the best commander.

"General loves you so hard, Jia reluctantly makes it difficult." Guo Jiawei bowed his hand and said lightly without refusing.

"Since the general has handed over the command power to Guo, Guo has made ugly words ahead. Both the King of Kucha and the general must obey the orders unconditionally." After taking the golden sword, Guo Jia changed his expression and said seriously.

"Of course, if anyone doesn't obey your orders, I will chop him!" Zhang Fei slapped his chest and shouted loudly.

"I should obey the orders of the young general!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the King of Kucha had to agree.

Although the King of Kucha agreed, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the Han general handing over the command power to a young boy who was still not dry. He felt that this Han general was too sarcastic. But he was weaker than others, so he was helpless.

"Since that's the case, I'm not polite. General Zhang obeyed the order and sent five hundred leopard cavalry to guard each city wall, and waited for the Wusun people to climb the ladder before counterattacking!" Guo Jia said in a fair manner with a golden sword in his hand.

Although this was Guo Jia's first command in front of the battlefield, he was not nervous at all.

"No!" Zhang Fei agreed, turned around and got off the city, and ordered his troops to transfer the generals.

"Kucha organized the young and strong people in the city and divided them into several groups. One group was responsible for collecting stones, rolling wood, etc. for the purpose of defending the city. One group set up a large pot at the top of the city, boiling water and making paste, and just waited for the Wusun people to attack the city, and just poured it towards the Wusun people. The other group collected the dead grass, dry firewood, tinder oil, sulfur and other fire-induced objects in the city, and it was necessary to use it."

After Zhang Fei left, Guo Jia ordered the King of Kucha one by one.

"No! Young General!" Seeing that Guo Jian was young, he commanded in an orderly manner and calm manner. He was very calm and he also followed Zhang Fei's appearance and nodded in response to the order.

"Huang Xu, you lead a thousand personal guards and cavalry, and you will be at your disposal!" Guo Jia ordered Huang Xu again.

Zhang Fei, King of Kucha, and Huang Xu, left one after another under Guo Jia's arrangement.

In the tall city gate tower, only Guo Jia and one hundred leopard cavalry guards were left. Zhang Fei knew that the lord valued Guo Jia very much, and Guo Jia was just a counselor, so he sent one hundred leopard cavalry to protect his safety.

In Yancheng, two thousand leopard cavalry were neatly dressed, and their faces were covered in metal shields. They carried spears and bows and arrows in their arms, and walked up to the city. Although the two thousand defenders seemed a little thin on the wide wall, they were not afraid at all.

Zhang Fei stood at the top of the city and looked at the Wusun Iron Cavalry who was constantly approaching. Then he made a big move to press down, and the two thousand leopard cavalry all hid behind the female warrior. Just after the leopard cavalry hid, the Wusun Iron Cavalry began to see dense rain of arrows towards the city.

The arrows shot by the five thousand Wusun Iron Cavalry seemed to have shot into the air. Apart from a "ding bell" sound, there was no reaction on the city. There was neither archers shooting at each other, nor screams.

The Wusun people were so surprised that they shot out the second round of arrow rain, but the result was the same. Yancheng was like an empty city without defense.

"Infantry attack!"

Originally, the Wusun Iron Cavalry was to suppress the archers on the city. Now there are no archers on the city, so why should I suppress them? So the Iron Cavalry retreated, the Wusun infantry stepped forward, and the four thousand Wusun infantry brought various siege equipment to the city wall.

The head of Yancheng City was still silent and unresponsive. Seeing that the four thousand Wusun infantry did not encounter the imagined bow and arrow, they were much more courageous and moved closer to the city wall faster.

Hundreds of wooden ladders quickly leaned against the city wall. The originally broken Yancheng wall seemed to be covered with a layer of protective film. Wusun people were brave enough to climb towards the city.

There was still no response at the top of the city wall. Some bold Wusun people had already taken down the wooden shield on their heads. They probably thought Yancheng was an empty city. Otherwise, no enemy would have crawled into the middle of the city wall and had no reaction at all!

The Wusun people were getting braver, and they seemed to have confirmed that Yancheng was an empty city.

Just as they climbed up the wooden ladder with confidence, only one step away from the city wall, many black heads stretched out from the wall, each head wrapped in a black metal mask, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

Behind the black head, a shiny black spear was extended, and the spears crossed together to form spear forks. These spear forks quickly approached the wooden ladder leaning against the wall, and before the Wusun people could react, they landed on the wooden ladder leaning against the city.

"Push!" Two thousand loud leopard cavalry on the top of the city roared together. They tried their best to push the wooden ladder outward.

"Boom, ah..." The messy sounds sounded. The ladders that were leaning against the city wall just now all deviated from their original positions, and some were directly overturned.

The Wusun people hanging on the wooden ladder were in great danger. They squeezed and pushed each other, panicked, and most of them fell down. Some people grabbed the ladder and poured down slowly as the ladders fell together.

The Wusun people, who were still full of confidence just now, made a scream of horror in an instant, overwhelming everything.

Although the walls of Yancheng are not too high, they are several feet long. Although they may not die after falling off the wooden ladder, they are still very likely to fall halfway and not break. At the most, you can't get up for the time being.

In a short time, under the feet of Yancheng, thousands of Wusun people who could not move were piled up. They cried and shouted...

"Swish, swish, swish..." At this moment, the dense rain of arrows on the city wall fell like money.
