Chapter 143: Recovering all the lost lands in the Western Regions
The army of the Yun Kingdom arrived outside the second city. The King of Yan rode on a war horse as the commander-in-chief. He was accompanied by Ye Jinghong, followed by Du Ning and many generals.
Du Ning played with a folding fan in his hand, gently fanning it to bring in the breeze, and looked towards the distance, towards the second city in the distance.
An army of the prairie tribe came over from the opposite side, and the two sides soon met on the battlefield.
"Oh! The grassland people know that we have a secret cannon, but they still dare to lead their troops out to die. How brave they are!"
"The grassland people are used to being arrogant. How do they know how to write the word 'death'? In front of our Yun Kingdom army, they are like a group of animals waiting to be slaughtered."
"To deal with these little minions, there is no need to use mysterious cannons."
The Hanlin officials from the Yun Kingdom made a sound like a bell, deliberately letting the grassland people on the opposite side hear it, and they also succeeded in making the soldiers and horses of the grassland people very angry.
"Presumptuous!"
A Prairie Tribe general stood up and shouted, pointing the Prairie Tribe sword in his hand at the Yun Kingdom's army and loudly said: "You despicable Yun Kingdom people, how dare you lead your troops to attack our Prairie Tribe city, you are the one who will die!"
”
Ye Jinghong held a bow in his left hand and a long arrow in his right hand. He pierced the void with a "Hugh" sound and transformed into a bolt of lightning that directly pierced the head of the grassland tribe general.
With a "plop", the body fell to the ground. There was no more sound.
Quick!
Too fast!
This arrow was like lightning. The opponent had no time to dodge and was shot dead by Ye Jinghong on the spot.
This scene made the soldiers of the grassland tribe turn pale with fright.
The archery skills of Yun Guo's great scholar are so superb!
"Okay! Mr. Ye is mighty!"
"One arrow to the head, that's awesome!"
The Yun soldiers shouted in unison and their momentum was high.
Ye Jinghong's arrow was exquisite. It directly killed the opponent's martial arts master, which was very popular.
"The beast that showed its teeth and claws turned out to be just a paper tiger!"
Ye Jinghong's voice sounded extremely disdainful, and when he looked at the soldiers and horses of the Prairie Tribe, his expression appeared on his face as if he were looking at a group of pigs and dogs.
The grassland people were so angry that they almost lost their minds. How could they, being so proud, endure such humiliation? They were all furious and murderous.
King Yan drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, kill!"
"Go!"
"Kill!"
Following the order from King Yan, the Yun army launched a charge.
The army was mighty and powerful, and it rushed towards the prairie tribe's army with an aura that would destroy the world.
"Block! We must block them!"
"For Khan! For the grassland people!"
"Kill!"
The grassland people also charged, and they looked forward to death.
The two armies were fighting head-on, and the cavalry from both sides fought directly together, with shouts of killing, screams, and the neighing of war horses.
I saw the cavalry of the Yun Kingdom rushing into the formation, and immediately broke up the formation of the prairie tribe's cavalry, divided the prairie tribe's army into several pieces, and then defeated them one by one.
This is the latest cavalry battle formation developed by military scholars. It is specifically aimed at the cavalry of the prairie tribe. Once the formation of the prairie tribe is disrupted, the power of their cavalry will be greatly reduced.
"Okay!"
Du Ning said happily: "After obtaining the war horses from the Liao Kingdom, our Yun Kingdom's cavalry team has expanded and its strength has been greatly enhanced. In addition, the morale of these prairie tribes' cavalry is low. Even in a head-on battle, they are no match for us." "After we take over the grassland tribe's territory, our Yun Kingdom will train more powerful cavalry and become the most outstanding cavalry among the cavalry of other countries!" King Yan said with a smile.
"I believe this day will not be too far away."
Du Ning's eyes were blazing, full of confidence in the mysterious cannon he had designed.
The grassland people suffered heavy casualties and were defeated steadily by Yun Kingdom's cavalry. Countless grassland soldiers were killed on the battlefield, and scarlet was everywhere.
Half an hour later, the Yun State army fought all the way to the front of the Second City.
On the city wall, Hu Chukuo watched the Yun State army siege the city, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
"Brother, they are approaching the city." Hu Chiyou reminded.
Hu Chikuo said loudly: "Your Highness, King Yan, let's go to war for now. How about we have a good negotiation? We can mediate on this matter."
"The three armies obey the order and prepare to attack the city!"
King Yan did not respond to Hu Chikuo and directly ordered the army to enter combat mode.
Hu Chikuo's teeth were itching with hatred. King Yan actually ignored him, the prince of the grassland tribe. This was a huge shame for Hu Chikuo.
"Your Highness King Yan, I..."
"Hugh!"
Ye Jinghong fired another arrow, and the light of the arrow flew past, knocking off Hu Chukuo's prairie clan crown.
Exhalation Kuo was so frightened that his legs were shaking. If the arrow hadn't been deflected so slightly, he would have died.
"Prince!"
"Brother!"
The princes of the prairie tribe were startled. Seeing that Hu Chikuo was almost killed in battle, some turned pale with fright, while others felt disappointed.
"Oh, it was so close."
Ye Jinghong showed surprise and said with a smile: "I haven't played with bow and arrow for a long time. It seems that I am a lot rusty."
"You..."
Hu Chikuo was so angry that his lungs exploded and he roared angrily: "All generals, listen to the order and guard the city gate for me. We must not let the Yun Kingdom's soldiers and horses occupy this place!"
"Yes!"
Prairie soldiers piled thick stones to strengthen the city's defense.
However, in the eyes of the Yun Kingdom army, no matter what kind of defensive strategy the grassland tribe adopts, it will not help.
The Yun soldiers were full of confidence and cast mocking glances at the grassland tribe.
The generals of the grassland tribe were extremely angry, because this was the same look they used to look at the soldiers and horses of the Yun Kingdom.
But now, they deeply feel the aggrieved feeling of having such eyes above their dignity.
"Mysterious cannon ready!"
Du Ning took out his command flag and directed the artillery battalion soldiers to set up the artillery array and aim directly at the city wall.
"No! They used the secret cannon again!"
"Everyone, stay still, don't panic, defend the city!"
"Block it! You must block it!"
The moment the grassland soldiers saw the Xuanji Cannon, their expressions changed.
Mysterious cannon, shocking the grassland people!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Chikuo hurriedly took his people to hide far away.
"Fire!"
General Du Ning waved his command flag, and fifty mysterious cannons opened fire in unison. The sound was deafening and the momentum was extremely powerful.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The entire city wall exploded, stones flew everywhere, and there were waves of horrified shouts.
Under a burst of fierce artillery fire, the grassland soldiers in the city howled incessantly.
The city gates were broken and the city walls collapsed.
Such a powerful power frightened the grassland people.
How can we fight this?
I can’t stop it at all!
"The city gate has been breached, capture the city!" A great scholar general's voice sounded like a bell.
"Go!"
The Yun State army entered the city and successfully captured the city gate.
At this time, when the grassland people saw that the Yun Kingdom's army had entered the city in a matter of seconds, they all lost their fighting spirit for a head-on confrontation and began to flee one by one.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"This city can't be defended anymore, everyone run away!"
"Protect all princes, let's come to the rear!"
"If you are not afraid of death, fight them!"
The grassland people mobilized their troops to block the attack, but they still could not withstand the strong attack of the Yun army.
"Haha... so happy! This battle was really fun!"
"It's so fun to kill! It's so fun!"
"Anyone who offends my Yun Kingdom will be punished no matter how far away he is!"
Many academicians and Hanlin masters controlled Wen Gong's ancient swords to kill the masters of the grasslands, which was simply hearty and elated.
In the past, they suffered many defeats when faced with the strong attacks from the grassland tribe.
Today, everyone killed countless enemies and made the prairie people flee. It’s really not that satisfying.
An hour later, the flag of the grassland tribe on the city wall fell down, and the flag of the Yun Kingdom flew again.
Hu Chikuo led his troops to escape outside the city, and looked back at the occupied second city, his face extremely pale.
As the prince of the grassland tribe, the city was captured by the Yun Kingdom so easily, while the grassland tribe had no power to fight back.
This is simply crushing strength!
"What a disgrace! I, the prince of the grassland tribe called Chikuo, and the future khan, will one day be driven out of his own territory by the Yun people. What a shame and humiliation!"
Hu Chikuo couldn't help but roared. At this moment, it was really difficult for him to maintain his image as a coach. His mentality collapsed and he cursed at the Yun Kingdom army. His words were extremely unpleasant, just to vent his anger.
But even so, he had no way to recapture the city.
Hu Chiyou said with an ugly face: "Yun Guo's mysterious cannon is really a weapon for siege. No matter how strong the city wall is, it can't withstand the bombardment of artillery fire. Even if we retreat to the first city in the Western Region, we won't be able to hold on for long."
"Nonsense! We finally broke into the Yun Kingdom. We saw that we could march straight in, how could we be driven back by the Yun Kingdom in such a mess? We lost the city, how could we have the dignity to go back and meet our father Khan? There were so many princes leading troops to fight,
As a result, we returned in defeat, which is a shame that our Huchi family has never experienced before!"
Hu Chikuo was furious. Until now, he still couldn't accept that he had fought such a humiliating battle.
Many princes were also very angry. They were arrogant and never looked down upon the Yun people. They even regarded the Yun people as inferior people and looked down upon them.
But since Yun Guo showed off his mysterious cannon, the grassland people were quickly defeated, and they were very unwilling to do so.
"I am simply unworthy of being the crown prince of the Prairie Tribe. Everyone is humiliated with me. I feel sorry for my father, I feel sorry for the soldiers, and I feel sorry for the people of the Prairie Tribe."
Hu Chikuo blamed himself very much and was unwilling to do so.
"Prince, let's withdraw first! If there's anything we need to discuss in the long term," Hu Chiyou said.
"Fifth brother is right. A hero will not suffer immediate losses. It is better for us to retreat first. If the Yun Kingdom pursues us, we will lose our troops again."
"A little impatience can ruin a big plan. Now we must be patient and prepare for a comeback in the future."
Everyone advised each other that the current situation was very unfavorable to the grassland people, and they did not want to see Hu Chikuo give up on himself.
"Let's go back to the first city first."
Hu Chikuo sighed and led his troops back to the first city.
…………
After Yun Guo captured the second city, King Yan ordered to reward the three armies, slaughter chickens and sheep, and hold a celebration banquet.
The soldiers have been working hard in successive battles and need a big meal to replenish their physical strength.
King Yan delivered an impassioned speech at the banquet, fully enhancing his confidence in regaining the last city.
At this banquet, the soldiers of the three armies were well fed and drunk.
In the next few days, King Yan ordered the three armies to rest and recuperate.
August 22.
Huchikuo suddenly sent envoys from the grassland tribe, hoping to meet the King of Yan and negotiate with the Yun Kingdom.
This time, the envoy of the grassland tribe lowered his stature, no longer as arrogant as before, but more sincere in his request.
King Yan ignored him and directly ordered the envoys to be beheaded to show the determination of Yun State to conquer the grassland people.
The other party suddenly sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Yun State. This was the biggest concession made by the grassland people, and it was also a test of the Yun State.
If the Yun State also intends to negotiate peace, the grassland tribe's envoys can live in peace.
But they mistakenly underestimated the determination of the Yun State. They could not accept peace talks with the Prairie Tribe, nor would they accept the Prairie Tribe's surrender.
The Yun State is going to take over the grassland people and let the grassland people fly the flag of the Yun State.
Originally, the grassland people could safely herd sheep on the grassland, but they thought that after the Yun Kingdom was attacked by the barbarians and the Huns, they became a sick cat that everyone could bully, so they raised troops to invade.
Now, the Yun State is using its powerful military strength to tell the Prairie People that the Yun State is a great human nation, and when the Prairie People massacre the innocent people of the Yun State, they are destined to be destroyed by the Yun State.
After the grassland people learned that the envoy had been beheaded, everyone felt extremely angry. However, the Yun Kingdom army had no way to deal with it. Even if their front teeth were knocked out, they had to swallow them with tears in their stomachs.
This also made them feel a huge sense of crisis.
The Yun State has the help of mysterious artillery. As long as the Yun State firmly believes in wiping out the grassland people, the grassland people will be bitten off a large piece of flesh even if they are not wiped out.
At this time, there is no use regretting. The grassland people can only stick to the last city in Yun Kingdom.
August twenty-fifth.
The Yun State army was full of energy and sent troops to attack the first city.
Under the bombardment of Xuanji artillery, in less than an hour, the Yun army captured the city gate.
The morale of the grassland people was low and they were defeated one after another. Even if the generals boosted their morale, it was of no avail.
The army of the Yun Kingdom became more and more brave as they fought, and all the soldiers did their best, and all the soldiers moved forward.
Seeing that the situation was over, Hu Chikuo could only give the order to retreat, abandoned the last city left in Yun Kingdom, and fled all the way to the grassland.
At the moment when the Yun Kingdom's flag flew over the first city, countless Yun Kingdom people shed tears of excitement.
The city once occupied by the grassland people finally returned to the Yun Kingdom at this moment.
Victory!
Big victory!
Yun Guo is avenged!
They did not live up to the great trust of the court and the expectations of the people.
King Yan stood on the top of the city in high spirits and said to the soldiers: "Brothers, today we have won another victory. From this moment on, all the cities occupied by the grassland tribes in the Western Regions have been recovered. You are all meritorious officials.
, On behalf of the imperial court and the people of Yun State, I would like to express my gratitude to you all!"
After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to the officers and soldiers of the three armies.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officers and soldiers of the three armies immediately returned the gift, and the scene was spectacular.
