Chapter 1624: An Empire That Cannot Be Underestimated
Of course, the premise is that the opponent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry should not be a commander of the same level as Guo Si, or even one level higher. As for the others, as long as Guo Si takes action, all the Iron Cavalry will take action, so it doesn't really matter whether they notify or not.
"This is indeed possible." Guo Bang touched his chin and said. He launched an attack with a single arrow crossbow. He fired one shot first. Within ten steps, not to mention fatal, I am afraid that even if the internal energy is normally separated from the body, he will be seriously injured if he is not careful.
, and then the whole army used cloud energy to crush him and kill him absolutely.
"Just for a feeling, I sacrificed my brothers..." Fan Chong said hesitantly.
"No, do you still remember where we sent Da Qin's envoy?" Li Jue looked at Fan Chou speechlessly and said, relatively speaking, he was the better-minded among the three of them.
"..." Fan Chou immediately understood after thinking about it. Even if they didn't say that a Da Qin envoy went to the Han Empire, Guishang himself probably knew about it, and these bastards were completely different from the Da Qin guys. They could understand Chinese.
.
In this way, as long as the Guishang people asked the emperor where the envoys of Da Qin were, it would instantly become a trap, and they would probably be able to find Liu Bei soon.
In that case, how should Liu Bei handle himself? Foreign envoys would not pay homage to the emperor, but to pay homage to the princes. Who would believe you if you say you are not rebellious? This is a matter of common sense.
"Leave no one behind." A coldness flashed across Fan Chou's eyes, and he made a killing gesture.
"Absolutely no problem." Guo Si said with a sneer, and Li Jue nodded. Because of his identity, he could never send the Kushan envoy, so he could only rely on Guo Si to solve it.
Yi Dai quickly handed over to Li Jue a tool that could be used for making calls for ten people. This kind of thing looked like a relic. As long as it was absorbed with inner energy, most languages could be understood.
Of course, since he is not using it himself, there is a possibility of errors, but generally it is a very good prop, and the Kushan Empire can produce 1,800 of it every year.
After that, it seemed like the host and guest were enjoying themselves. Li Jue was always majestic and domineering, and the Kushan envoys got used to it after a while. When Yi Dai and others left, Guo Si escorted a thousand people without saying anything.
This group of people.
No one in the Kushan envoy had any doubts, and after being sent thirty miles away, Guo Si decisively took action. The unique super elasticity required a master of force like Guo Si to go all out to successfully cock the super powerful single arrow crossbow.
One shot passed through the back of the captain of the envoy's guard.
The unsuspecting captain of the guard of the Kushan Mission was shot from close to zero range by such a powerful single-shot crossbow. A hole as big as a bowl was blown out from his back to his chest, and his heart was also there.
It disappears immediately with one strike.
The captain of the guard of the envoy who suddenly suffered a fatal blow looked at Guo Bang with a cruel smile in disbelief. He tried his best to shoot towards Guo Bang, and the fierce force was enough to sweep Guo Bang into two.
The meaning of paragraph.
"Hey!" Guo Bang sneered, holding the gun with both hands, and threw it towards the opponent in the opposite direction. The two guns suddenly collided. Guo Bang was swept off his horse by the huge force, but the envoy's guard captain, who had lost his temper, was completely killed in the battle.
The huge power of the single-shot crossbow, after penetrating the body of a person whose inner energy was separated from the body, the remaining powerful crossbow bolts directly killed three envoys in front of him.
With the sound of crossbows and the loud noise of the exchange of long spears between Guo Si and the envoy guards, the soldiers of Xiliang Iron Cavalry seemed to have a conditioned reflex. They who had gathered outside and watched indifferently suddenly took out their strong weapons.
The crossbow was fired towards the front, and in just one wave, one-fifth of the delegation was killed.
"Destroy them!" After a blow to his hand, Guo Bang, who rolled off his horse, did not care about the tightness in his chest and numbness in his hands. He immediately rushed out of the center of the Kushan envoy to join the Xiliang cavalry, and then started to kill the Guishuang cavalry.
Frost Mission.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also roared, like fierce tigers, and rushed into the Kushan envoy regardless of the situation. Just as the Kushan guard chief expected, the elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry only needed a sudden attack.
Defeat them.
After losing the commander of the guard chief, the Kushan guards, who were originally not strong enough to deal with the Xiliang cavalry, began to collapse in a few breaths after Guo Bang led the Xiliang cavalry to charge.
The civil servants who were the envoys of the Kushan envoy did not understand what happened at all, and the spears of the Xiliang cavalry pierced their bodies from the back.
"Why are you attacking us!" Yi Dai looked at Guo Bang, who had been chatting happily with him before, and shouted with eyes wide open. He didn't understand why this happened at all.
"You'll know after you die!" Guo Bang stabbed Yi Dai in the head, and the high-speed carbine turned Yi Dai into a rotten watermelon without his head in an instant.
After a charge, the entire envoy was almost wiped out, leaving only a dozen lucky ones. Standing in the battlefield, the Kushan envoy trembled and looked at the scene in front of him, completely confused as to what was happening.
"Don't leave anyone alive, shoot every one dead or alive, and then gather the corpses together." Guo Bang turned his horse's head, swung his spear and gave a new order.
Guo Bang's skills as a horse thief back then were not unfamiliar at all, and because he had more battlefield experience, he was even more ruthless when he returned to his old profession.
After giving each corpse a shot, he dragged them together, counted them to make sure nothing was missing, and searched them carefully to ensure that all valuables were in hand. Guo Bin took the lead and packed the water bags.
Pour the tung oil inside.
Pour the tung oil in the water bag on the corpses, Guo Bang casually blew the huozhe stored in the bamboo tube, and the hay gathered together by the soldiers quickly ignited the tung oil, and then everything
All burned.
After half an hour, after the place was burned to a white ground, Guo Bang took the lead and started galloping on it, and then the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also ran on it. After completely trampling the place and making it invisible, Guo Bang turned around and looked at it.
The soldiers behind him.
Except for the only two unlucky guys who were killed by arrows, the others were slightly injured at most. Guo Bang roared, "I will take my personal trophies. Starting tomorrow, we will suppress bandits in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. See a
Kill one!"
As for the Kushan envoys, who knows, they might have been blown away by the storm in the desert, or they might have been hacked to death by horse bandits. Anyway, everyone has seen it. Colonel Wu Ji, who is under the Protectorate of the Western Regions, hit it off with them, and they even
I returned after traveling thirty miles.
From that day on, Wuji Captain Li Jue began to lead 3,000 Xiliang cavalry to crazily suppress bandits in the 36 countries of the Western Regions. As for the reason, it is said that the day Guo Si returned from Guishang, he was attacked by a group of 3,000 people.
The horse bandits ambushed them, killing two of them.
As for the facts, the nobles of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are not very clear. Anyway, it is not far away that this rumor is not true. In short, after that time, the bandits without backing were basically wiped out by Li Jue. Those with backing had no time to change jobs.
The Chengguan army was also wiped out.
As for reasoning? Even Dawan and Wusun didn't have the guts to reason with Li Jue. Although their two countries had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and one or two inner Qi left the body, they really wanted to go head-to-head with the Han Dynasty.
Looking at Li Jue's elite cavalry, they knew they couldn't afford to offend him.
Of course, Li Jue never thought that many of the bandits in the Western Regions he wiped out were official bandit armies of the Thirty-six Kingdoms. After all, the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions were drooling over silk. They could grab, intercept, and make something.
They don't mind it at all if there's no risk involved in buying and selling without capital.
After all, in this era, silk is basically a hard currency that can be used all over the world. It was a hard currency from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but its value is higher in the Western Regions. As for the Mediterranean, it is really stronger than gold.
Hard currency.
However, due to the fact that the silk-producing Han Dynasty was too powerful, the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions really couldn't afford to offend them. However, seeing silk that was more golden than gold passing in front of them all day long, the Thirty-Six Kingdoms would be lying if they said they were not tempted, so they just
With the so-called official bandits.
But this time, all these bandits suffered a disaster. With Li Jue's talent for legion, the method of creating an eggshell defense that absorbs attacks, three thousand Xiliang cavalry who had already touched the army soul legion offline, as long as they were not so dark-faced that they appeared frequently.
Surprisingly, no one will die when fighting the bandits.
So Li Jue was like a steamroller and crushed all the bandits from the Thirty-Six Kingdoms. King Wusun watched from the royal city that Li Jue easily overturned horse bandits twice their size without any casualties.
There is no longer any thought of a showdown.
Different from other legion talents, although Li Jue's legion talent consumes a lot of money, it is a miracle created by Li Jue's breaking of invisible barriers, and it is also Li Jue's will to reduce the casualties of the Xiliang cavalry on the battlefield.
A miracle was born.
Therefore, this guy's legion talent directly exempts attacks below a certain intensity, and attacks above the lower limit of the immunity will also be offset by this part of the attack after breaking the eggshell defense. However, these are all sustained by Li Jue's legion talent.
of time.
To put it simply, Li Jue's legion talents have not been exhausted. The casualties of his legion will be reduced to a very unscientific level. If the opponent is a miscellaneous soldier, a very terrible situation will occur. After defeating zero
casualties.
However, such a terrible situation usually does not happen. Even the miscellaneous soldiers have one or two fierce men who can break the eggshell defense. The remaining strength can only break the strengthened equipment defense and strengthened physical defense of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
It can also kill the Xiliang cavalry.
But unfortunately, the people Li Jue fought against this time were the bow and horse bandits and the scimitar horse bandits from Central Asia. They are all famous cavalry with high attack speed and low attack speed. They were defeated by Li Jue and had a zero death rate.
The Wusun nobles who were watching from the royal city could no longer stand on their feet.
Naturally, all the petty thoughts of the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions have been put away. The Wuji Colonel who came this time not only has a background in the Han Empire, but his headquarters is also so powerful that it is shocking.
In this way, Li Jue completely secured his position as the emperor of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and once again had the power to mobilize the military forces of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions just like Ban Chao did back then.
Vesutiva I did not receive any news about the mainland of the Han Empire at this time, but the news of the existence of Captain Wuji had been passed on.
Therefore, Vesudeva I gave up the idea of continuing to fight eastward along the Congling Mountains. As for fighting westward, it seemed that it was not possible in the past hundred years, but Vesudeva I felt it was necessary to observe whether the empire would be able to do so.
It won't be over in a short while.
What's more, fighting Anxi means facing the sword of Rome. To be honest, compared to the relatively mild country of the Han Empire, Kushan is more afraid of Rome from the west.
Therefore, if there is no need, Vesudeva I thought it would be better not to seek death, so he began to conquer India steadily. Anyway, other directions were either impossible or unbeatable, so Vesudeva I buried his head and silently conquered India.
This is indeed a good choice for Kushan. It can be said that without Zixu's introduction and the desire that arose after the Kushan Empire grew, I am afraid that Kushan would not have fallen to that level in the end.
But having said that, civil strife has actually broken out in the country, and the Han Dynasty, which has been fighting warlords for more than ten years, is a big fat piece of meat in any empire.
It's a pity that it was only when Kushan bit the Han Dynasty that he realized that some things may not be true even if they are seen with the eyes, and the rise and fall of the empire can only be verified by the victors and history.
Of course, there is still a long way to go before these things happen, especially since Li Jue has already killed the first wave of envoys, leaving Vesutiva I unable to receive any accurate news from the Han Dynasty within a year.
From this aspect, Li Jue did indeed do a good thing. At least he delayed the success of the Central Plains for nearly three years. Otherwise, with the current situation within the Han Empire, he might have conquered India and marched eastward.
Kushan can really enter Sichuan from Myanmar.
At that time, even if Liu Bei could conquer the Central Plains within half a year, and no one in the Central Plains would be a traitor, with the power of a complete empire, it would be enough to attack Chengdu in half a year. Even if Liu Zhang bloodily recommended Xuanyuan to defend Chengdu, it would still change.
However, Sichuan and Shu were captured.
But is it possible? Not to mention that no one in Sichuan and Shu was a traitor under such a large power. As long as an empire attacked with all its strength, it did not start from Hanzhong in the north, but took the retreat from northern Burma. Liu Zhang's level is not looked down upon, let alone
Xuanyuan is recommended by blood, and it will be the eyes of the heavens whether he can run away or not.
The fighting power of any empire is beyond what Cao Sun can withstand. Even for a super powerful prince like Liu Bei, it will not take ten years to defeat Guishang. Without fully integrating the strength of the entire Han Dynasty, it will take a long time to defeat Guishang.
Guomen is an absolute joke.
For example, the situation Gan Ning is facing now is a very harsh reality. The Kushan Empire has money and willfully loses a thousand ships if it wants to!
No matter how high Gan Ning is in commanding the navy, there is no use. Although most of Guishan's thousand warships are fourth or fifth generation warships, the two hundred thousand navy and one hundred thousand infantry can be smashed at will!
It's not that the Han Dynasty couldn't produce so many battleships and navy, it's just that the country was divided. Liu Bei had high-precision technology, but there was not enough foundation to form an industrial scale. Sun Ce had an industrial scale, but no core technology.
If we want to still have a complete empire and have enough execution power, let's not say that we built five or six hundred ships like Kushan in half a year, but seriously build three or four hundred ships. We will plunder and renovate the bottom of the ship by plundering the inventory from various places. Seven or eight
It's not like the Han Dynasty couldn't build hundreds of ships.
As for the navy, with ships in the south and horses in the north, and forced conquests, do you really think that the Han Dynasty could not create a navy of hundreds of thousands in half a year? The potential of a complete empire cannot be underestimated at any time!
But it is a pity that division is division, no matter how hard you suppress it, it cannot change this fact, so when he saw the endless fleet, Gan Ning gave up the water stronghold and ran away in shame.
However, the opponent had already rushed more than ten miles away. By the time Gan Ning started to launch from the water village and pulled out all the navy fleets, the opponent's fleet was already almost ten miles away. This distance basically meant that they could no longer escape.
.
He had to run if he couldn't run away. Gan Ning activated all the acceleration devices and ran forward desperately. Unfortunately, the biggest advantage of the fourth and fifth generation ships was that they were small and light, so they could run extremely fast. Even if Gan Ning's ship was equipped with additional equipment, he had to run.
There are many acceleration devices, and it is difficult to get rid of the Kushan fleet.
As for the Kushan fleet, they did not take the water fort in Malacca seriously at first. Although they thought it was theirs at first, they found out that a long list of warships that were not theirs came out, and they thought it was the abandoned water fort where the warships were sent out before.
.
As for being destroyed, the commander-in-chief of the Kushan Empire never thought about it. But when Gan Ning ran away, the Kushan Empire would naturally stop him. Not to mention destroying Gan Ning, they would at least inquire about the situation of the previous Kushan fleet, so
