Going west out of Yujian, thousands of miles away, I can see Nu Cang killing his chieftain and returning him in the distance.
Seven hundred miles to the west of Yujian, Gobi grass is rolling, and golden ripples are rising from the sand dunes, pushing away an oasis that looks like an isolated island in the distance. A group of people from the Western Regions with a population of a hundred or so are entrenched here, with mud houses built from the sand, and a
The Juqi woman was wearing a thin white robe, sitting in front of the door with her heavy chest swinging, doing embroidery. She bought it from the Juqi soldiers who came back from the Han people, and used a piece of sheepskin.
Once the embroidery is done, it will look great at home.
She smiled and glanced at her husband who was shearing sheep over there. It was already the seventh sheep. When they get together, they can get a lot of things from Nucang City.
As she was thinking beautifully, suddenly a shrill scream resounded from the village. When she heard this, the woman and her husband stopped what they were doing and hurried out. Many people came out from every house. In the direction they looked, there was a
An acquaintance from the village fell in a pool of blood. Next to him was a knight holding a Han soldier. He was tall and tall, with a thick beard. He looked at them as if he wanted to eat them all.
Behind the opponent, a dense mass of Jin soldiers and horses lay outside the village.
"Han Chinese from Jin?!"
Someone took a step back, recognized the armor and their appearance, and shouted loudly in a begging language. The next moment, the two-edged spear stabbed into the man's mouth, popped out from the back of the head, and fell to the ground.
The tiger-bearded man on the yellow horse's back urged the horse to pull the soldier out of the corpse's mouth, raised his hand, and said only one simple and cold word.
"Butcher!"
After the sudden change, the beggars, who had reacted or not reacted, were frightened, yelled, and fled in panic towards the village. Some resisted and rushed to their homes, took out axes and hunting knives and rushed out. The next moment, Jin swarmed over.
The national soldiers and horses pushed into the village at high speed. These mud houses made of mud and sand could not resist. Countless blades and spears were swung away, causing bloody lines, and the panicked Jugu people fell to the ground.
An old man held a hunting knife and yelled "Wow!" with a fierce cry and rushed towards the nearby Jin soldier. When the metal and iron collided, the Jin soldier cut off the head of the old man Juqi with a backhand knife.
In the chaos, figures on horseback wandered outside the village, lit torches, and threw them into the windows of the mud houses. The fabrics and blankets inside burned in a moment. People hiding in their homes rushed out with their bodies burning with flames and ran around.
Let out a heartbreaking scream.
"Don't hesitate. Your soft-heartedness is their best weapon. When they rushed into Yujian Pass, did any of us pity our women and children? The Jugu people were not soft-hearted and did not let them go. Now is the time to pay off the debt. Kill——
"
The giant man on horseback looked at the few hesitant Jin soldiers over there. He had never been soft-hearted towards the Hu people. He once bowed his knees under Shi Le, and he also had ambitions and showed off his courage to kill, but those were gone.
'Ran has never been a good person, let alone a man who is upright and upright... I will do my best for five days, but I will kill Hu again!'
He pursed his lips and watched as those hesitant soldiers rushed towards Juqi's village and waved their butcher knives at the fleeing barbarians.
Soon after, the dispersed soldiers and horses came back, their faces and bodies covered with blood. The giant man on the yellow gelding nodded with satisfaction.
He raised his hand and waved: "Go to the next Jubeg village!"
Five thousand Jin soldiers and horses took all the rations they could eat and rushed to the vast Gobi desert with the god-man general, leaving only the burning village, with unfinished embroidery mottled with blood, quietly in front of the burning earthen house.
Rain rarely falls in the Gobi Desert.
However, in the past few days, the sky has been gloomy and the black clouds have been extremely low, as if a heavy rain is brewing.
In the vast desert below, the footsteps and cries of people and horses spread across the land one after another. From the direction they came from, another begging tribe was burning.
In August, the Jubei army returned from the expedition to Han. Although it was defeated and brought back a lot of loot in the process, it should be stable for a period of time. However, the news circulated among the Jubei people in August.
A Jugu tribe was massacred, leaving no one alive, young or old, and their heads were all impaled on wooden stakes.
Someone saw it from a distance, and it was the Han soldiers and horses of the Jin State to the east.
After hearing the news, there were 2,300 Juqi cavalry who came and chased them wildly along the path taken by the enemy. They were then ambushed halfway and only a few dozen cavalry escaped and ran towards Nucang City.
The new king of the Vassana Kingdom is only nine years old. He was supported by the high priest Saha. He does not care about such things. He only needs to sit quietly on the throne of the palace and wait for the high priest to issue orders. He will nod.
.
"It is said that the attacking Jin soldiers and horses only have 5,000 people? But I learned that there are 60,000 Han people coming this way."
The walls of the pink and white palace were decorated with patterns with the characteristics of the Western Regions carved in gold on the corners. In the spacious palace, the high priest, who was about seventy years old, listened to the information conveyed, closed his eyes slightly, listened quietly, and then said
His message was cold in tone.
Two months ago, two of his apprentices led the warriors of their clan and marched into the Han territory without any further ado. They captured cities one after another and went on a killing spree just like the Han people do today.
Presumably, it was to avenge the previous revenge that he carried out such unscrupulous killings. The most regrettable thing for the old man was the death of his two disciples. Otherwise, he should be the leader of Poshana. Who knows, he will personally support him in the years to come.
Seth sat on the throne.
"Do any of the Han soldiers know magic?"
Some of the ministers who were discussing the matter shook their heads: "Reporting to the high priest, I found that no one among the Jin soldiers had used magic."
"Since there is no such thing, then you should fight hard!"
On the lower side of the Dragon Court, the high priest in a separate position looked at the ministers with a majestic look and waved his hand to let them deal with it on their own. Even the self-defense of the home depends on him, so what is the use of raising these people.
After that, after discussing the dispatch of troops, the number of troops, who would be the general, and whether the baggage could be gathered in a short time, Saha asked the little king seriously and conveyed the order.
Go down.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as the herald who received the order left, and the court was about to disperse, soldiers suddenly came in a panic on horseback, and quickly ran up the stone steps to the outside of the palace.
"High Priest, the Jin troops have captured several more villages, and the nobles in the city are dissatisfied."
"Go back and tell those nobles that the king will immediately send out the warriors of Vasana to annihilate them!"
Saha could still be confident when fighting on his own land, and Pashana's army could easily defeat the incoming enemy. After all, the Gobi and the desert have long been accustomed to the heat and lack of water, but the Han people were different. Once there was a lack of water, they could not stay for two days.
When the messenger was waved away, another soldier came in a hurry.
"If the nobles cause trouble, there is no need to say anything!" Saha waved the soldier away, but the soldier half knelt on the ground and hesitated: "Inform the high priest, there is a warning from Xiaoyi City, they found a
Two thousand Jin cavalrymen marched around Nucang City and defeated fifteen tribes in a row!"
"What?! Why is it being sent back now?!"
Xiaoyi City is located more than 170 miles southwest of Nucang City. It belongs to the rear. There are many rivers, grasslands, and hundreds of large and small Jubei tribes. After hearing the order, the cavalry circled Nucang.
When walking in Cangcheng, the direction is naturally to the north, which is the land of the dragon's beard in Poshana!
"High Priest, Xiaoyicheng sent messengers two days ago, but they were all intercepted by the other party. No messenger has arrived until now!"
The sudden appearance of such a Jin cavalry is indeed a headache, but fortunately the opponent's number is not large. If the army goes deep alone, there will naturally be no food. This is not a long-term solution. It only takes a little bit of siege and driving to reduce their scope. Naturally,
will retreat.
However, before the messenger left, another soldier came in panic.
"High Priest, the 5,000 Jin soldiers and horses from the east suddenly turned and came towards Nucang City. Two tribesmen and about 300 people were killed."
Afterwards, more and more knights came to report outside the palace, and a huge amount of news came one after another.
The Sangqiu tribe was defeated and 500 people were captured! The Andalu tribe was defeated and 270 people were taken captive! Xiaoyi City was in emergency, and the enemy rode into the south of Longchuan and approached the land of Longxu.
One after another news was like gravel in the wind blowing in front of Saha. There was silence in the entire palace, only the messages that were constantly reported echoed monotonously.
"Reporting to the high priest, in the southeast of Nucang City, a Jin army is approaching."
The old man named Saha returned to the main hall and looked at the huge spliced sheepskin map with a dumbfounded expression.
…
At this time, heading east from Nucang City and to the west of Yujian Pass, in the wind and sand, 60,000 soldiers and horses from the northwest Han Dynasty swept away the large and small Jubei tribes, dragging a large number of Jubei people across.
