When Qian Buzhou arrived at Nagarjuna Castle, it was already May 29th.
Looking at the barbarian soldiers at the top of the city, Qian Buzhou was a little annoyed.
Damn, there are many barbarians living in Tongping and Ciguang. In order to clean up these barbarians, a lot of money and energy were spent. It was for this reason that Qian Buzhou was delayed in coming here.
He asked the guards behind him, "Where are the armies of Hua Xun and Cao Hua?"
He had already disobeyed the military order, and the two men's army was still nowhere to be found, so it didn't mean that he had disobeyed the order more completely.
I really don’t know how the commander-in-chief calculated it. On May 28th, he happened to arrive on May 29th, only one day missing.
"General Hua Xun has arrived at Longshu Town, which is only eighty miles away from Longshu City."
"General Cao Hua has led his army to Zhongxiao Township, which is only eighty miles away from Nagarjuna City."
The guard said this with a bit of strangeness in his tone. They were both eighty miles away from Nagarjuna City. How could it be such a coincidence?
The staff member next to him spoke: "Captain, the prince is very calculating. Although our middle route army was assigned the shortest route, it took the longest. We were delayed a little in Ciguang, and we arrived on the 29th."
"On the contrary, it was General Hua Xun and General Cao Hua who led the army and refused to fall behind for a moment. In the end, they arrived on time."
"Your Majesty is very calculating."
Qian Buzhou suddenly realized, yes, what the commander-in-chief left to the Central Route Army was a hard nut to crack. On the contrary, it was the East Route Army that walked the farthest. They made a big circle and reached the back of the barbarians. They met all the barbarians along the way.
The least and the fastest.
"In this battle, Your Majesty is prepared to wipe out all these barbarians."
Qian Buzhou's tone was full of sighs. Qiu Ya discovered the mass grave. The prince was really angry. The three groups had their own way, and they were preparing to destroy this group of barbarians.
"Send the army out, connect with the east and west armies, and ask them if the prince is in their army. How should we attack the city next?"
Qian Buzhou ordered his personal guards.
As soon as we set up camp, the sky darkened, and the scouts sent out to hook up with the eastern and western armies also returned.
"The commander-in-chief wants me to attack the city independently?"
Qian Buzhou looked at the sergeant who delivered the message in confusion, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The three armies mobilized together, but they still wanted to attack the city by themselves. Lao Qian was a little suspicious. The commander-in-chief had a problem with me and wanted to use up all the troops in my hands, Lao Qian.
The scout continued: "The commander-in-chief said that the Ballista Battalion and the Bird Battalion have been transferred from Liangjiang. They will arrive at Longshu tomorrow. They will all be dispatched by General Qian to attack Longshu."
"There is no need to worry about the waste of crossbows and flying birds. General Qian just throws these things at Longshu City. There is no one in Longshu City anyway. Lord Qian only needs to drive the barbarians out of Longshu City. That's it."
Mission accomplished.”
Qian Buzhou pinched his chin. In this case, with the cooperation of flying birds and ballistae, it would not be a big problem to drive out the barbarians in the city.
The scout continued: "The commander-in-chief said that there are Taixi people in Nagarjuna City, and the Taixi people must have flying birds. According to the prince's speculation, this location should be where the Taixi people's flying birds parked. At the beginning of the war, the stone thrown by General Qian
The machine just needs to be thrown here."
"Once the Thai birds take off, the ballista deployed at this position will be fired immediately. Be sure to shoot out as many crossbow arrows as possible to shoot down as many birds as possible."
Qian Buzhou's face looked a little ugly. The commander-in-chief had clearly arranged this, and he even managed it with his own hands.
Well, even the commander-in-chief knew clearly that he had a trebuchet in his hand.
"Have a rest overnight and prepare to attack the city tomorrow."
Qian Buzhou waved his hand and gave instructions.
On the second day, the Han army's middle route army assembled, the trebuchets and ballistae were all pushed to the predetermined positions, and the Feiniao Battalion was also prepared and ready to go.
"Trebuchet, release it according to the set target."
Qian Buzhou was riding on his horse, looking at the city in the distance and giving instructions.
At the same time, the cavalry infantry began to advance forward. When they arrived 800 steps away from the city, their spears were like a forest, pointing at the barbarians in groups of three or three at the city head, as well as many Taixi troops.
In the city, Schloter was surrounded by a group of Taisi officers, commanding a small ship of tribute led by many barbarians.
"General Xiaolun, this is your barbarian's chance to be loyal to the empire. Do you want to disobey orders?"
Xiaolun Gongbu's face remained as usual: "I don't dare, I'm just resting my tribal warriors. The Han army is invincible, and my warriors are no match."
Yesu, who was standing next to him, said in a dogged tone: "The young patriarch is right. In a bloody battle between our tribe and the Han army, only 800 of the two thousand warriors survived, and the Wuchi tribe was completely wiped out. If the Han army is like this, even if we wait
If you go, you will die."
Schloter snorted coldly: "Don't worry, the empire won't let you go in vain..."
"Boom"
A dull sound suddenly sounded in the corner of the city wall not far away. A large round stone jumped out of the Bird Army's camp, rolled a few times, and opened a flesh-and-blood passage in the barbarian army.
"Rumble"
Continuous stones fell from the sky and hit the bird camp.
Trebuchet!
Schloter's expression changed greatly. The Han army actually discovered the location of the Bird Army. They wanted to smash all the Birds.
"Lift into the sky, birds lift into the sky."
"Let these Han scum see what a real bird is and kill them."
Schloter waved the long sword in his hand and drove away the Tessie officers under his command.
The Thai and Western officers ran forward and rushed into the bird camp, braving the falling stones and trying to save as many birds as possible.
Soon, under the desperate urging of the Thai and Spanish soldiers, the birds began to take off.
Watching the first flying bird take off, fly over the city wall, and rush towards the Han trebuchet position, Schloter was convinced.
One flying bird is enough to destroy the Taishi trebuchets.
"Whizzing"
The sound of arrows piercing the sky suddenly sounded, and a dozen thick arrows pierced the sky, piercing the birds that had just flown out of the city wall.
The flying bird rolled and fell straight down.
One, two...
The birds flying out of the city were shot down one after another.
Schloter sat down on the ground. It was over. The Han people had already planned it.
So many birds were lost just after the war started. Nagarjuna was finished, the barbarians in Nagarjuna City were finished, and he himself was damned too.
Xiaolun Gongbu winked at Yesu Buze, and the two of them led their sergeants in a tacit understanding and exited the encirclement of the Taixi people.
"Walk"
Xiaolun Gongbu said crisply.
The only thing the Taixi people can rely on is flying birds. Their infantry can't even compete with their own warriors. Why should they fight with the Han infantry? You must know that it is a powerful army that can beat the warriors of the tribe and call them father and mother.
After leaving the city from the south gate, Xiaolun Gongbu let out a sigh of relief.
The Han army arrived in a hurry, with few men and horses, and had no intention of annihilating their own tribe. That's why Yishan, a fool with a head full of tofu, stayed at Nagarjuna.
"Huh?"
Xiaolun Gongbu looked at the tribal warriors in front and asked Yesu Buze next to him.
"Why does that big-ass guy look like Yishan's personal guard?"
Yesu Buze said disdainfully: "They are Yishan's personal guards. If Yishan escapes, his personal guards will naturally follow him."
Xiaolun Gongbo slapped his thigh angrily: "You son of a turtle, you can run faster than me."
"Let's go and pass them. Don't be caught up by the Han army behind us. As long as we can outrun them, we can survive."
Yesu Buze's eyes lit up, yes, the Han army had limited troops and Yishan was lagging behind. Naturally, the Han army captured Yishan and his minions first, and he escaped with his life.
As expected of the young patriarch, he can see so far.
