Chapter 261 Wusun King City
Chapter 261: Wusun Royal City
Wucheng is located on the banks of the Yili River. Although it is the capital of Wusun, it is just a slightly larger earth city. It is not as large as a county in the Central Plains in terms of its size or construction of the city wall.
Around Wucheng, there are various tents, clusters in the east and west, living in some indigenous tribes living near Wucheng.
The crescent moon is like a hook, and the Yili River is like a soft ribbon, tied randomly between the vast grassland. The river water flows and never stops. Under the moonlight, it emits ripples, adding infinite imagination to the quiet grassland.
The moonlight was bright, and five miles from the east of Wucheng and the north gate were two black iron cavalry waiting for it.
The knights' eyes were wide open and they were staring at the direction of the city in the distance. The spears in their hands were shining with cold light under the moonlight, and an invisible murderous aura condensed together, reducing the temperature around them a lot.
At the east gate is Hua Xiong's 15,000 iron cavalry, and at the north gate is Huangfu Jian's 25,000 iron cavalry. The trained war horses seemed to know that the war was coming, and they all cheered up and kept using hard hooves to dig the grass under their feet.
Huangfu Jian looked calm and sat on the lion and tiger beast. His Qilin armor and blood-colored battle robe were already hanging on his body. He held the long war gun in his hand. His eyes were closed, and his splendor suddenly moved, brighter than the stars in the sky, as if he could penetrate the layers of the night sky and see everything in the distance.
Zhang Fei, Yelu Qi, Hu Cheer, Tuobaxiong and other generals were all dressed neatly and gathered around him.
"General Yelu, how many defenders are there in Wucheng?" Huangfu Jian opened his eyes slightly, looked at the starry sky, and asked lightly.
"The city guards are 20,000, and the imperial guards are 5,000. The city guards are divided into four cities, and the 5,000 imperial guards stay in the palace."
Yelu Qi did not dare to neglect and replied respectfully.
Huangfu Jian nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "General Yelu led 5,000 Wusun Iron Cavalry, and Tuobaxiong led 8,000 ghost Iron Cavalry. After entering the city, he controlled the two gates in the west and north, and persuaded the city guards of the two cities to surrender. If they dare to resist, they will kill them on the spot."
"No!" Yelu Qi and Tuobaxiong shouted to take the order.
"Lord, what should I do with the city guards in the east and south cities? Should I, Lao Zhang, lead the Leopard Cavalry to kill them?"
Zhang Fei was impatient and saw that Huangfu Jian had not arranged his task, so he took the initiative to invite Ying.
But as soon as he spoke, there was a murderous aura, which made Jie You next to him frown.
"General Zhang doesn't have to worry about the city guards in the east and south cities. Hua Xiong's 15,000 iron cavalry will be dealt with. General Zhang leads 5,000 leopard cavalry and 10,000 Huns suicide squads to the palace city, and surround the palace city to our generals. Don't let Wusun King He Xu go."
Huangfu Jian looked at Zhang Fei's somewhat anxious black face, smiled slightly, and said.
"No!" Zhang Fei was so happy that he almost jumped off the black horse and roared loudly, scaring the hare in the grass to death.
"In the battle tonight, our army's troops are far above the defenders. The victory has been decided, and we will mainly persuade surrender. Only those troops that are stubbornly resisting will be killed. You have heard it clearly. I don't want blood to flow into the city of Wu, let alone hurt the innocent people! Let's go down and prepare!"
After Huangfu Jian finished his explanation, he waved his hand slightly and said slowly. In the moonlight, no one could see Huangfu Jian's expression clearly.
"promise!"
Yelu Qi, Tuobaxiong and Zhang Fei received the order, rode their horses and left, each returning to their own formation, making the final preparations before the war.
Only 1,500 guards led by Hu Cheer were left beside Huangfu Jian, and a group of close servants such as Diao Chan, Zhang Ning, Loulan King, Eighteen Dragon Cavalry, Stone Hunter, Iron Eagle and other servants were left quietly. They guarded Huangfu Jian in this way, without saying a word or moving.
As we approach Wucheng, we are about to see our father-killing enemy. Jieyou was both excited and uneasy. His delicate body trembled slightly under the moonlight.
The crescent moon is rising and slowly approaching the middle sky. Wucheng in the distance still maintains the past details and silence.
Just as tens of thousands of troops were waiting anxiously, a little light appeared on the north gate of Wucheng, like the fluorescent light emitted by the fireflies in summer, blinking. Then the light became bigger and bigger, and a slight flame rose, and a thick smoke rose up with it. Like the beacon fires ignited by the Han people, it was clearly visible around Wucheng.
"Set out!" Huangfu Jian's voice was dull, but it contained internal strength and quickly spread throughout the audience.
Yelu Qi's five thousand Wusun cavalry began to run, followed by the eight thousand ghost cavalry led by Tuobaxiong, followed by the five thousand leopard cavalry led by Zhang Fei and the ten thousand Huns suicide squad. A team of iron cavalry ran towards the city gate in turn.
"Boom..." Tens of thousands of cavalry ran wildly together, and even if there were weeds that had passed through the horse's hooves, the quiet grassland still vibrated and made a dull roar.
"Let's go too!"
After tens of thousands of cavalry left, Huangfu Jian also waved the War God Spear in his hand and said lightly to the people around him.
One thousand five hundred iron cavalry surrounded Huangfu Jian and slowly advanced forward, and the chariot slave followed behind Huangfu Jian in the God of War.
The north gate of Wucheng has been opened by the five hundred Wusun people who had previously mixed into the city.
There were faint lights on the head of the city. Under the light, the soldiers guarding the city had been killed by the Wusun people who were mixed into the city. Hundreds of corpses were thrown aside, and the blood of blood continued to flow down the head of the city.
"Enter the city!" Yelu Qi waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly at the more than 10,000 cavalry behind him.
Ten thousand iron cavalry entered the city one by one. In addition to arranging hundreds of people to protect the city gate, the rest immediately divided into two groups. Yelu Qi led an iron cavalry to the guard camp of Xichengcheng, and Tuobaxiong led the ghost iron cavalry to the guard camp of Beichengcheng.
"Kill! Follow me to the city!" After Yelu Qi and Tuobaxiong led his army into the city, Zhang Fei couldn't wait to shout with a spear. It was like a thunder sounding sounded on the ground, and I wonder how many people were awakened from their sleep.
Five thousand leopard cavalry and ten thousand Huns' death squads drove into Wucheng in a mighty and vigorous manner.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled on the avenue in the city, shattering the tranquility in the city.
The people of Wucheng didn't know what was going on. Some people boldly opened the door and saw the shadows outside, with rushing iron cavalry everywhere, and spears shining with cold light.
"Mom" screamed, her neck shrank in fear, turned around and closed the door, not even daring to make another sound.
The timid one hides at home in fear, fearing that they will encounter unexpected accidents.
The Wucheng Royal City was built with the management of several generations of Wusun Kings, and the city walls were not only much higher than the outer city, but also several times stronger. The imperial city is a large palace made by the Han people. It is decorated magnificently and has a great momentum. It is the residence of the Wusun Kings of all dynasties.
Perhaps because he was deeply influenced by the Han people, the kings of Wusun all felt that it was particularly safe to live in the castles of the Han people.
The moonlight was hazy, and the lights were still brightly lit above the royal city, and a raging fire was jumping from the huge copper furnace.
The Wusun warriors wearing armor and swords on the top of the city were constantly patrolling the city, alertly guarding the safety of the royal city.
"Boom..." The horse's hooves roared in Wucheng, and teams of black armored iron cavalry surged in the night and rushed towards the royal city.
"What happened?" A guard screamed in shock on the top of the city.
Dozens of warriors who were patrolling also ran over and looked into the distance one by one. When they heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, their faces changed rapidly.
"Military!" Such words flashed in their hearts as soon as possible.
These Wusun people probably only heard of the existence of the Han Dynasty, and of course they would not have thought that the distant Han army would appear here.
"Woo, woo, woo..."
A desolate sound came out, and it spread rapidly throughout the royal city. The soldiers guarding the city blew the horn in their hands.
"What happened?" Hearing the trumpet, guards from the royal city rushed to the top of the city in panic.
At this moment, Zhang Fei had already led the army to the royal city.
"Come on me!"
Zhang Fei took the lead with a spear in his hand, rushed to the 15,000 iron cavalry behind him, and shouted loudly.
Ten thousand iron cavalry quickly dispersed and surrounded the entire royal city layer by layer. The strong bow in his hand was stringed, and the sharp arrows pointed directly at the Wusun defenders on the top of the city. With just one order from Zhang Fei, thousands of arrows would be fired at once, and there would be blood in the royal city.
In the royal city, the palace was luxurious, and King He Xu of Wusun was hugging a young and beautiful concubine, sleeping soundly.
A sound of footsteps came, followed by a noise.
"Master, something is not good!" The guards outside the palace shouted loudly.
"What's the matter in panic?" King Hexu of Wusun reluctantly turned over his obese body and asked sternly.
"Rebelled! A large number of cavalry surrounded the royal city." The guard said intermittently.
"Nonsense! Who is so bold that he dares to rebel from me!" King Wusun said helplessly, and then fell to bed.
"King, let's get up and take a look!" The beautiful concubine of Xiaobang also woke up, pushed the King of Wusun and reminded him.
"Hmph! I want to see who it is. I am so brave that I dare to make my rebellion. I want to destroy his three clusters."
The King of Wusun was furious and said hatefully, while wearing a gorgeous royal suit under the maid's service.
The palace gate opened, and the Wusun King, dressed in royal clothes, walked out. The maid and palace guards came up with lanterns and torches.
"Follow me and go ahead and take a look." King Wusun said majestic.
King Wusun was not worried at all. He had a strong royal city in his hand and had thousands of soldiers around him. Who would he be afraid of? For Hu Qi, the solid castle was a huge and solid armor that was not easy to break.
King Wusun hurried to the city, hurriedly looked down at the head of the city, looking up.
Now the King of Wusun was stunned. This was not a mutiny!
The iron cavalry under the city was not the costumes of the Wusun people. The cold spears were rarely seen in Wusun, let alone equipped with tens of thousands of people. From the vague impression of the Wusun King, he thought of the Han army, but it was not like it.
