Chapter 632

"Report, General, the eldest prince of Khotan is here to visit with his two younger brothers."

A scout captain galloped over on horseback from a distance, got off his horse after seeing Dao Jiang Hao, and bowed his hands to report.

Is it finally here? "Okay, tell them to come over."

Not long after, three people came to Jiang Hao. Although the three were princes, they didn't dare to trust him. They stroked Jiang Hao's chest and saluted together. The father is not in good health, so the three of us will come to visit the general."

"The eldest prince Ke Limu, the second prince Bianmu, and the third prince Demu are all brave men. King Khotan has three good sons." Jiang Hao nodded to the three princes with a smile and praised them.

"The general guard praised me, but I dare not take it." Ke Limu hurriedly said.

"The three princes are here, but King Khotan has made a decision?" Jiang Hao said.

"Yes, my father has already made a decision. I, Khotan, will give my full support to the Chief Protector. I will draw 2,000 soldiers from the soldiers to be led by my two younger brothers, Bian Mu and De Mu, and the Chief Protector will command them." Prince said.

After the eldest prince finished speaking, Bian Mu and De Mu took half a step forward, and saluted Jiang Hao again, "I have met the guardian, and I will obey the orders of the guardian from now on."

This king of Khotan is really aware of current affairs, Jiang Hao is very happy, this will 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 Turtle half a year ago. In the country of Zi, six thousand troops will be stationed in Shache, and the available soldiers in Shache country are only about eight thousand."

"After Shache is taken down, I can sign an agreement with Khotan. The two sides will never invade, and Khotan will live a stable life in the future."

When the eldest prince Ke Limu heard this, his face showed joy, "It's so good, I in Khotan don't like fighting at all, so it's best to live a peaceful life."

In this way, Jiang Hao had two thousand more soldiers under his command, and the coalition forces in the Western Regions reached exactly ten thousand. Everything was ready, and it was time to act.

Shache Kingdom, I don't know if you are ready.

"Call everyone together and hold the first coalition military meeting." Jiang Hao said loudly.

The guards reported that all the leaders of the coalition forces and Jiang Hao's subordinates gathered at Jiang Hao's big tent. Jiang Hao sat at the head and looked at the group of loyal dogs below. With these people, he would have the capital to conquer the Western Regions.

"Everyone, I am going to invade the Shache Kingdom from tomorrow with a large army, directly putting pressure on Shache." Jiang Hao said.

"Awaiting the dispatch of the general!"

Everyone in the big tent said in unison.

Jin Damao set up a large map, and Jiang Hao pointed to the map and said: "This is Shache. Tomorrow, when we enter the border of Shache, and then we will go straight to Yecheng of Shache. Shache will definitely respond. All we have to do is once." Defeat him, and then use this as a base to go straight to Shache City."

At this moment, Prince Yanqi asked: "Then what should we do if the people of Shache close the city?"

Jiang Hao smiled, "There are tens of thousands of people in Shache City, and there is only such a big place. If the city is trapped for a month, their food will be exhausted. During this period, we can plunder the surrounding villages and towns of Shache, and there will be a steady stream of cattle, sheep and horses." Constantly, who do you think can persevere.”

At this time someone asked: "But if we besiege the city, what if Shache asks for help from other places, such as Kucha, when the number of troops increases and surpasses ours, then the war will be difficult to fight."

The smile on Jiang Hao's face grew stronger: "Qiuci sends troops to help, that's what I want to see the most, I'm afraid he won't come, if Qiuci sends troops, I will let them disappear into the desert directly."

Jiang Hao's plan is very simple, thirty-six strategies, encircle Wei and save Zhao.

Of course, if Shache couldn't hold on, then don't blame him for being greedy, he swallowed even the bones and the meat. In a word, Jiang Hao didn't want to let go of the fat on both sides.

Jiang Hao is planning to attack Shache here, but Shache Kingdom doesn't feel any crisis at all. At the moment their king is having fun in the palace, immersed in the joy of conquering Kucha a few months ago.

melodious music,

Several dancers in light veils dance barefoot on the jade floor, with fluttering clothes and graceful dancing postures.

King Shache and several ministers chatted while drinking, and the atmosphere was very leisurely.

At this moment, suddenly a general in armor ran in and shouted loudly after seeing the king: "My lord, something is wrong. A large army has come from Khotan, and it has arrived in Yecheng at this time. In the battle with one of them, the whole army was wiped out, only a few escaped and came to report, and I ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible."

Bang!

Clap!

The jade cup in the king's hand fell to the ground, collided with the jade ground, and immediately shattered into countless pieces.

"Dajun, where did the army come from? Are they from Khotan? There are 2,000 people in the Qina tribe, how could they be defeated all at once!" King Shache roared angrily.

The general in 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 Zena army didn't investigate at first, and led troops to attack the enemy. Suddenly, two more troops came out from both sides. They didn't even have a chance to retreat. , it was defeated, there were not many casualties, and all were captured."

"Tens of thousands of people! Tens of thousands of people!"

"How could there be tens of thousands of people? Where did the tens of thousands of troops come from? Could it be the Huns? That's not right. Aren't the Huns supporting us?"

Several ministers of the Shache Kingdom who were enjoying singing and dancing just now were also shocked by the news. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

In ancient wars, the scale depended on the region. For example, in the Central Plains, which has a large population, a battle of thousands of people can only be called a battle, and a battle of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people is called a battle.

In the Western Regions, more than 5,000 people can already be called a big war. If it was Japan's Warring States Period, it would be great. A battle of 500 people can be called a battle and will be engraved in history.

Shache has a population of more than 60,000, and more than 14,000 soldiers. They invaded and occupied Kucha, and divided 6,000 troops to suppress the people of Kucha. Now the entire Shache has only 8,000 soldiers. Now it is a battle to guard Shache. The generals of Yecheng, the second largest city, were captured, and the whole army was wiped out, so there were only six thousand left. Could the king not be surprised?

King Shache took a deep breath to calm himself down, looked at the other ministers and asked in a deep voice, "What countermeasures do you have?"

Several ministers looked at each other, and finally the prime minister stood up and said: "My lord, we don't know the enemy's situation now. For the current plan, the first thing is to find out the enemy's situation, and the second is to ask for help."

"For help, who to ask for help?" King Shache asked.

"Naturally, I asked for help from the Eldest Prince, Kucha Kingdom. Now the Eldest Prince has 20,000 soldiers and horses. As long as he sends troops, he will be able to repel the invading enemies." The Prime Minister said.

The king immediately slapped his thigh, "Yes, the prime minister's opinion is very good, scout out the enemy's situation, and then ask Qiuci for help."

The west wind was fierce, and the banner of the Allied Forces of the Western Regions was waving in the wind. There was a black banner in the middle, which was Jiang Hao's handsome banner.

There are 10,000 people, boundless, and the team of 10,000 cavalry is drawn apart. Anyone who sees that kind of formation will be terrified.

After crossing the Kawenwasi River, you will find Yecheng, the second largest city in Shache, with a population of 4,000 to 5,000 people and 2,000 soldiers stationed in Shache.

Jiang Hao immediately ordered that he personally lead 2,000 Khotan soldiers to march forward from the middle road, under the flag of Khotan, and 2,000 soldiers from Yanqi and 2,000 soldiers from Yuli State would surround them from both sides, leading Shache people to come out and attack them in one fell swoop. People are responsible for padding.

The strategy is very simple, but the brains of the damn Western Regions people are even worse. Jiang Hao's team moved forward slowly, and was soon discovered by the defenders of Yecheng. When General Zina of Shache in the city heard that his old enemy Khotanese was coming, he immediately mobilized his troops to attack.

The Shache people are not afraid of the Khotan people. The Khotan people who are often beaten are screaming. Now that they have just captured the Kucha Kingdom, it is the moment when their confidence is inflated. Not long ago, Shache King was still planning, when will he completely subdue Yutian? What about the country of Tian?

Didn't go to beat you, but dared to take the initiative to provoke, isn't this giving us a chance.

Zener led 2,000 people out of the city, screaming and rushed towards Jiang Hao's vanguard. On the wilderness sand, the two armies faced each other five or six hundred meters apart.

The wind is getting wilder,

The blown sand hurt people's faces, but none of the two armies retreated. Zener wanted to shout at first, but suddenly a thicker and bigger flag was raised among the Khotanese flags in the middle , but that flag is about ten feet long, and the black flag makes one's heart sink.

Just when Zener was puzzled, there were bursts of hoofbeats from both sides, and the momentum of thousands of galloping horses shook people's hearts. Zener looked to both sides, and saw a cavalry rushing from both sides The team came with billowing smoke.

"No, I fell for it!"

Zener yelled that it was not good, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

But at this moment, he had already entered the encirclement, so it was so easy to withdraw. The three troops were equal in number to him. Two thousand Shache cavalry were surrounded by groups. As soon as they came into contact, they shot a round of arrows, and the Shache people fell immediately. next slice.

"Dismount and surrender without killing!"

"Dismount and surrender without killing!"

After one round, Jiang Hao's cavalry began to shout loudly one by one, while the bows and arrows in their hands kept shooting.

When the Shache people saw it, there was really no hope, not even a hope of running away, so let's surrender.

Immediately, someone jumped off the horse and knelt on the ground.

Where there was the first, there was the second. Not long after, most of the Shache people chose to surrender. Seeing that the situation was over, Zener led his personal guards and wanted to rush out a bloody road to escape.

Looking around, there are enemy cavalry everywhere. Where are you going? Zener is also a fierce warrior. He suddenly saw the big black flag, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the black flag with a dozen cavalry.

"Protect the general!"

Jin Da Mao shouted loudly with a spear in his hand, and Jiang Hao's twenty cavalry guards immediately rode their horses to block Jiang Hao.

Looking at the brake general who was gnashing his teeth and rushing over, Jiang Hao smiled coldly, "Since you want to die, then I will grant you."

Taking off a big bow from the saddle, suddenly there was an arrow in his hand, and with both hands he directly pulled a full moon.

Whoosh~~

This black arrow was like a black lightning bolt, and it reached Zener in the blink of an eye. Before Zener could react, the arrow pierced through his cheek.

Zena didn't even utter a cry, he leaned back suddenly, and fell to the ground with a plop. Because of inertia, he rolled on the ground a few times before stopping, lying on the ground without moving.

someone said,

You can't do this, you should rush out and fight the opponent one-on-one, so that you can show your skills, just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it's so enjoyable to have a general fight one-on-one.

What Jiang Hao wants to say is,

That's really too much romance, the generals will only appear in the storybooks, the real ancient wars, there are very few generals, they will only protect the commander well, the responsibility of the commander is more to strategize, command well, Instead of fighting.

No matter how powerful your personal force is, you can defeat a few soldiers, the overlord of Western Chu is invincible, and dozens of soldiers can still kill him.

Besides, didn't Jiang Hao shoot, and killed the enemy with a cheap shot, still showing super strong force.

"kill!"

Jin Da Mao yelled, and rushed over with twenty cavalrymen under his command. The two sides fought together. At this time, the Han army was far superior to the Shache soldiers in terms of physical strength and psychology. It was only a few rounds. Those who rode were cut, those who were picked, and those who were picked were all taken down.

Jiang Hao looked into the distance. At this time, several troops had separated and surrounded the Shache soldiers, and there was no longer any resistance.

This battle is a big victory.
