Chapter 1179: Advance across the board
"Report~"
"The Duke of Guarding the Kingdom, and the second prince led the vanguard army to capture Qingshan City with 800 people. The Persians, the Anshu people, and the Wusun people retreated westward!"
The messenger rushed into the tent and brought exciting good news.
"really?"
Zhang Xiong suddenly stood up and stared at the messenger.
"It is true that the second prince leads the army to collapse the Qingshan City wall, and the Three Kingdoms coalition forces lose their resistance."
"Hahaha... OK! This kid is really good!" Zhang Xiong laughed.
To be honest, in addition to his expectations, although the Long Guard was elite, the number of people was only 800. How many of the Three Kingdoms coalition forces were? At least tens of thousands!
The difference in the number of people is too big, and the matter of breaking Qingshan City seems unreal no matter how you!
Zhang Xiong had a headache. How did he report his merits to Wu Tian? Reclaiming Qingshan City and forcing the Three Kingdoms coalition forces to retreat westward, that would be a great achievement!
"Second General, since His Highness the Second Prince regained Qingshan City, our main force should rush to the full speed and start to regain the lost territory of Dayuan with Qingshan City as the center!"
Huang Zhong said.
"Hansheng, you are right! Tomorrow, no, now, immediately set off the camp and head to Qingshan City!" Zhang Xiong ordered.
"Here!"
…………
When Zhang Xiong rushed to Qingshan City, the bombed city gate had not been repaired yet. It was seriously damaged and there was no suitable materials. The Dragon Guards could not repair it quickly.
After all, in the Central Plains, the materials for building city walls are very particular.
From that huge gap, Zhang Xiong also knew why the Three Kingdoms coalition wanted to retreat. The city wall was damaged. Even if it could block the Dragon Guard, it would not be able to stop the White Tiger Legion. If you retreat earlier, the Dragon Guard was weak and dared not pursue him!
If it were the White Tiger Legion, then don’t chase it until you die!
Therefore, Wu Tian’s great achievement in breaking the city in one day was influencing factors of the White Tiger Legion.
But this doesn't affect Wu Tian's glory!
"You little brat, you're just here to call me Uncle Second!"
Wu Tian was smiling there, with no appearance. Zhang Xiong scolded, and Wu Tian quickly came to greet him: "Second uncle, General Huang, General Zhou!"
Zhang Xiong could accept the gift calmly, but Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang didn't dare. They both hurriedly thought that Wu Tian would return the gift.
"Uncle Second, your main force's marching speed is fast enough. Today is here. I originally thought you would arrive tomorrow. At that time, this gap can be repaired a lot."
"This gap does not need to be repaired. Let the King of Dayuan send someone to repair it. The city in the Western Regions is different from the Central Plains. It is not good to do something wrong with kindness." Zhang Xiong said.
"Listen to the second uncle." Wu Tian smiled and said, "Nephew will send someone to inform the King of Dayuan and ask him to send craftsmen to repair the city wall. However, the east gate will make a new suggestion."
"Tell me, how much supplies did you use to break the city this time?" Zhang Xiong asked.
Not to mention anything else, just a gap of just such a large amount of gunpowder pack is used.
"Hehe, Uncle Second, our Long Guard's gunpowder pack is used up, and there are still half of the guns and shells." Wu Tian said embarrassedly.
This battle was an effect, and Longwei did not have the idea of saving materials, so he would fight as hard as he could. Of course, the consuming materials was huge.
"You, you really don't know how expensive the food and rice are. The things you use in Longwei are begging you, the Suzaku Legion, you don't even give it to your father, you will give it half of it in a war!"
Zhang Xiong doesn’t want to complain about this nephew!
"Second uncle, didn't my father say that? When it can be solved with cannonballs, you don't have to fight for your life!" Wu Tian said.
In this battle, no one died, but more than a dozen injured. When the attacking team attacked the enemy, they ran quickly and twisted their feet.
"The second prince, the Three Kingdoms coalition forces retreated. Has there any scouts sent to inquire about the news?" Huang Zhong asked.
"Yes, but all those who were caught by our Dragon Guard were shot and killed, and no one was left!" Wu Tian said murderously.
At first he was quite worried that the Three Kingdoms coalition would turn back to attack him, but now that the White Tiger Legion has arrived, everything is so beautiful.
"Next time, we need to question some information." Huang Zhong said with his forehead.
This second prince is so murderous that he doesn't know the importance of intelligence.
"Okay, I'll catch you next time." Wu Tian replied.
"Go and enter the city." Zhang Xiong waved his hand and said, "How can there be troops from other countries in the Dayuan Kingdom except the Central Plains army?"
The city lord of Qingshan City died in battle while resisting the invasion of the Three Kingdoms coalition forces. Qingshan City is now a masterless city.
The King of Dayuan was very sensible. He only sent craftsmen to repair the city, but did not assign any city lord to take over the city.
Therefore, the current Qingshan City is mainly based on Zhang Xiong's will.
Of course, under the management of the White Tiger Legion, the people of Dayuan can finally live a normal life, and there will be no such tragedy of rape and looting in the city.
In the minds of Dayuan people, the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate was to protect them. If the Protectorate had not tried his best to defend their Dayuan royal city, they would have been the ones who had lost their country.
Therefore, now that the White Tiger Legion takes over Qingshan City, the Dayuan people have no resistance. In their opinion, the people in the Central Plains are the same, love peace and are kind and generous, not as savage and domineering as the Persians or the Sakura people.
…………
In the city lord's mansion, all the senior generals of the White Tiger Legion were on the list, and Wu Tian, as the prince, sat upright beside Zhang Xiong.
"Everyone, the second prince regained Qingshan City, which is a great achievement. Qingshan City is in hand, and my White Tiger Legion should use this place as a basis to attack from all directions to sweep away the remaining forces of Anxi, Wusun, and Persia." Zhang Xiong said.
"General wise!" the generals sang.
"From tomorrow, General Huang Zhong and General Zhou Cang will lead an army to attack the remnants of the Three Kingdoms entrenched everywhere based on scout information."
Zhang Xiong ordered another order.
"Here!" Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang made a list.
"General, our Dragon Guard asks for battle!"
After a long time, Wu Tian found out that his second uncle wanted to let him defend the city. How could this be done?
"The second prince has unique defensive ability in his hands. He is the backbone of the city. If you protect Qingshan City well, you must not lose."
Zhang Xiong said with a smile.
Wu Tian had just captured Qingshan City. When the Three Kingdoms army saw him buying the wilderness, they still tried their best to siege and kill him?
Although the Dragon Guard was powerful, it was not arranged or prepared. It was basically impossible to run away when encountering cavalry in the wild.
"General, we are powerful in defending the city, and siege even more powerful in attacking the city." Wu Hao retorted.
They captured Qingshan City, and the ability to attack the city is unquestionable.
"Most of the fighting in the Gobi Desert are cavalry! When the enemy defends the city and needs the Dragon Guard, I will dispatch it." Zhang Xiong said.
When it comes to fighting with cavalry, Wu Tian was indifferent! They were infantrymen, and although they also owned some horses, they were all used to carry supplies.
Seeing that Wu Tian had no intention of fighting, Zhang Xiong asked Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang and the generals to go down to prepare.
Chapter completed!
