Chapter 1488 Break the city
The most feared thing a person is to meet in his life is his bad neighbor, and the country is even more so, if he has a neighbor who is stronger than himself, he will never be able to live a peaceful life in his entire life. This is deeply touched by Huchuquan.
Unexpectedly, Anxi was such a big country that had the same worries as himself. It was fine to the east, at least the Western Regions were used as buffers and did not directly border the Han Dynasty. Otherwise... there would be no such good luck on both sides of the southwest. The Kushan Empire was the south and the Roman Empire was the west. Neither of these two neighbors were good birds.
In contrast, the Kushan Empire is easier to deal with, and Kushan has been facing threats from the sea in recent years. I heard that it was robbed by the Han fleet several times. The nobles in China were all angrily jumping and shouting to seek revenge on the Han people, but they didn't care about Aki at all, so Aki put his focus on the west.
After leaving Band City, Hu Chuquan confidently led the army to Taixifeng. After leaving for a long time, he remembered something and looked at me at the map.
They were at the easternmost point of Anxue, while Tessifon was at the westernmost point of the world. They were almost bordering Rome, and were nearly three thousand miles away from them. At their speed, it would take half a month at the fastest.
The temptation of the capital was too great. Huchuquan was so fierce that he threw away all the supplies that were useless, and only brought food, weapons and other essential items to speed up.
It’s nothing to throw it away now, but there’s something better when you come to Taixifeng.
The 50,000 troops crossed the mountains and crossed the rivers. They rushed day and night and rushed to Taixi in just thirteen days.
Standing inside and outside, he looked at the face of Hu Chuquan and Jiang Wan, and he also showed a disappointed expression on his face.
The city wall in front of me is less than fifty miles long, and it is thirty miles wide. The city wall is barely three feet long. Not to mention that it is comparable to the Chang'an Luoyang of the Han Dynasty, even Jinyang is probably not as good as that of Jinyang.
Hu Chuquan smiled bitterly and said, "This scale is probably not as large as the cities of Azac, Ekbatana, Susa, etc. we have seen along the way. If I had known, I would have robbed those places."
Jiang Wan comforted: "You can't just look at the surface in everything. After all, it's the capital. There must be many nobles in the city. Besides, they all come."
The last sentence is the point, Hu Chuquan said in grief and anger: "Yes, we don't have much food and grass. Let's take a night to attack the city tomorrow."
The army retreated ten miles to camp and rest. Late at night, at the end of Yin, that is, after four in the morning, a team of about 300 Hun soldiers left the camp and quietly touched the city.
Taixifeng is close to the Tigris River, so there is naturally a moat, but this cannot prevent the Huns. Although the Huns are not good at swimming, they are relatively common. With such a large population base, you can find out how many people can do water.
Three hundred Hun soldiers jumped into the moat in the dark and swam to the other side of the river, untied their backs and shot up the city wall, grabbed the rope on the tail of the arrow and tried a few times, and then climbed along the rope to the city wall.
Taixifeng is a border, and there are many defenders in the city, all of whom have experienced war formations. During the day, they immediately entered a state of war readiness when they saw the Hun soldiers. However, the opponent they encountered this time was too weird and did not play according to the routine of Anxu.
The opponent facing the Kingdom of Anxu is Rome. At least they pay attention to the spirit of chivalry. Before hitting you, they sent someone to tell you that they rarely encounter sneak attacks like the Huns without saying a word. The soldiers of Anxu were all sleeping in the middle of the night without any defense.
The three hundred people in the city were specially trained by Jiang Wan according to the trap camp. The movements were slightly and silent. All of them climbed up the wall. The Anxi soldiers still didn't react. They were easily cut off their necks from behind by the Xiongnu soldiers.
The Hun soldiers successfully walked down the city wall and lowered the suspension bridge to open the city gate. They stood under the city and shook it with a torch.
The Hun scout who was following the distance reported the news to Huchuquan as soon as possible.
After receiving the news, the battalion quickly lit up. The 50,000 troops quickly left the account and finished arraying. Hu Chuquan stood in front, swung his sword hard, and shouted loudly: "Run."
The 50,000 army marched forward quickly and rushed into the city along the suspension bridge.
How could such a big noise be heard? The defenders and the people in the city were awakened one after another.
However, it was too late to react at this time. The Hun soldiers were too cruel and killed when they saw people. Moreover, they had crossbows. There were more people on the side and it was a rain of arrows. When the Anxi soldiers who came to rescue heard the news, they could not gather in a hurry. It was like a plate of loose sand that could not form effective combat power at all, and they would die as much as they came.
Jiang Wan followed Lian Ya closely behind Huchuquan, and the monk kept reminding him like a sutra: "Kill me, we can only reason if we defeat them. Without thunderbolt means, don't act as a Bodhisattva's heart. Only with absolute crushing strength can you be qualified to show kindness, otherwise your kindness will be cowardly."
Hu Chuquan pulled out his arrow and shot an rushing soldier to death, and cursed angrily: "I understood this principle when I was three years old. I need you to remind me not to hide behind and recite scriptures, or at least do my best."
Jiang Wan had no choice but to untied the longbow from the saddle and began to shoot.
The Hun cavalry came and went like the wind, and they were scruples, galloping freely in the city. Who dared to stop them from killing them immediately, defeating the Anxi soldiers step by step, and pushed the soldiers to the front of the palace without waiting for the sun to come out.
The palace is in the center of the city, with large armies standing on the thick walls, which is difficult to attack at first glance.
Jiang Wan stood in front of the door, staring at the gate of the palace for a long time before saying, "We have been in the city for a long time. If you guess correctly, the nobles in the city have rushed into the palace to discuss countermeasures. There are still residual troops in the city. It is not suitable to attack the imperial city now, as it is easy to be attacked by both sides. I suggest sending 20,000 troops to surround the imperial city, and not allowing people inside to enter and exit. Then, order the remaining army to continue to encircle and suppress the remaining soldiers in the city, and capture the important people from the noble mansions alive. First, we will interrogate and obtain information, and second, we will control them, so that they can cause trouble behind their backs."
Ordinary people can’t do anything to them, so the nobles are different. They have money, power and appeal, and it’s easy to do something for you.
Hu Chuquan nodded and looked at Goubei and said, "Youxian King, I have left this matter to you. I will capture all the nobles in the city regardless of gender."
"clear."
Go and bow, and click the soldiers and horses to leave excitedly.
He is a professional robber, and he is very experienced in choosing luxurious buildings. He swept through one street after another, and almost no leakage was left.
However, the sweeping was not very smooth. The nobles who rested in peace had more power than the aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty. They had fiefs and private troops, and there were naturally guards in the mansion. In addition, the sporadic resistance in the city, it was quite difficult to fight.
Although the defense of the noble mansion was tight, it could not stop the Xiongnu soldiers' determination to rob. The more determined they resisted, the more ruthless the Xiongnu soldiers killed after breaking the palace. In the end, they forgot to capture the nobles in the city to see him. The man killed all the women and robbed them all.
It was not all robbed. The Hun soldiers were also picky about food, only robbed young and beautiful people. As for those over forty years old, few people had such a heavy taste.
Although the Hun soldiers were ruthless, they could not resist the large base of Anxi nobles. As time went by, there were still a continuous stream of Anxi nobles who were taken to the palace gate and handed to Hu Chuquan. There were many peerless beauties with a look and temperament that were not inferior to Lian Ya. Hu Chuquan grinned and kept saying, "This trip to the capital was not in vain, it was still worth the money."
