The attack of Sanwei Mountain was very fierce, and the Qin army even used poisonous fireworks balls.
This poisonous fireworks ball was also improved with gunpowder. The actual combat records of this poisonous fireworks ball in history were when Mongolia attacked Europe...
The Mongolian cavalry ran around with long spears and smoke balls. Soon the battlefield was full of choking smoke. The European knights wearing heavy armor were already breathing poorly, and when they were smoked by the smoke, they were even more invigorated and had great combat power. reduce.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry howled out of the smoke...
There is no need to say where the poisonous fireworks ball used by the Mongolian cavalry came from. While attacking Europe, they were also attacking the Song Dynasty.
At this time, the use of Song gunpowder in military affairs was quite common, and the Mongolian cavalry would be used to attack Europe after learning.
So European countries then realized that there was gunpowder.
Shen Bing rarely uses poisonous fireworks on the battlefield, but he has to use it on terrains like Sanwei Mountain.
Otherwise, the Yuezhi Army would be good at using bows and arrows to occupy the advantageous terrain to guard the narrow corridor, and even if the Qin army had three heads and six arms, they could not attack.
It would be much better to use poisonous fireballs.
The fireball threw upwards... the fireball with gunpowder quickly burned and released a large amount of smoke.
On the one hand, these smoke blurred the Yuezhi Army's vision so that it could not see the target, and on the other hand, it could fascinate or at least make them unable to fight.
Therefore, the Qin army really took down several hills guarded by Yuezhi.
However, it is not the point to be able to capture a few hills. The point is to attract the attention of the Yuezhi King and make him nervous.
At this time, the Yuezhi King was restless in Shazhou. He was summoning the Yuezhi Minister in his tent to discuss countermeasures.
The Yuezhi King asked uneasily:
"We just think that the Qin army will stop in front of Sanwei Mountain, but we don't expect that the Qin army seems to want to capture it..."
"How should I deal with it for the sake of the present?"
Everyone under the seat didn't know how to respond, and after a while, Xu Mi replied:
"Don't be irritated by the king. The Qin army may not be able to conquer Sanwei Mountain in this battle. Even if it can be conquered, I am afraid I will not be able to conquer Shazhou again!"
"What's more, we have the help of the Huns. My subordinates think we will win this battle!"
"Xihou" is a common official position in the Western Regions, and it actually means the leader of a noble.
There are five Xishi in Yuezhi, and Xiumi Xishi is one of them.
Zu[xī] suddenly said:
"It is reported that the Qin army commander had his own way to take down Sanwei Mountain."
"And the 100,000 Huns' army has not yet seen any movement."
"It is hard to guarantee that when Yuezhi and Qin army both suffered losses, the Huns would lead both countries..."
The King of Yuezhi couldn't help but sigh, this was also what he was worried about.
Originally, King Yuezhi thought the Qin army would see this, so he would not start a light battle with Yuezhi no matter what.
But unexpectedly...
The King of Yuezhi even complained in his heart: It is said that the Qin general was resourceful, so he was so stupid this time that he ignored the Huns staring at him and insisted on going to war with Yuezhi.
Just when everyone was in a dilemma, the Hun envoy came to report:
"King, the Huns have divided up 30,000 troops to attack Suzhou."
"The Right King ordered people to bring a message, and the king would be assured to guard the Sanwei Mountain."
"The Qin army's food and supplies will be consumed soon, and the Qin army will be surrounded by us!"
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, even the Yuezhi King was the same.
Only the only thing that happened was still frowning.
It would be easy for the Huns to defeat the Qin army or cut off their food routes... The 100,000 troops were all cavalry, while the Qin army only had a small number of cavalry.
They just need to rush their troops south to defeat the Qin cavalry and encircle the rear to surround the main force of the Qin army.
But the Huns sent troops to attack Suzhou with far and wide.
You should know that Suzhou is 800 miles away from Shazhou, and it will take seven or eight days for the cavalry to arrive in Suzhou.
Does this mean that the Huns were deliberately delaying the time and letting Yuezhi fight with the Qin army for another eight days?
Judunxihou was right, the Right Xian Wang Xunhao was exactly this plan.
On the one hand, the Huns would not be able to say that they would not send troops to support Yuezhi at this time.
On the other hand, the Huns were unwilling to intervene in this war too early.
At the same time, Xunqi was also a little worried that the Qin army would really have a way to conquer Sanwei Mountain.
Xunqi fought with Chen Bing in the Hetao area. He knew that Chen Bing was not simple, and there must be a reason why the Qin army would insist on attacking Sanwei Mountain.
At this time, the Yuezhi lost 30,000 troops. If Sanwei Mountain lost again, I am afraid that the entire Yuezhi would belong to the Qin army.
This is certainly not something that is enjoyable for smoke.
Because Shazhou is not only an oasis, there are also a large number of people in the Western Regions living there... There are a total of 100,000 households and 400,000 people.
If these 100,000 households and 400,000 people fall into the hands of the Qin army and have a large amount of food and livestock, then the Qin army will gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions.
Xunqi did not dare to take this risk, so he immediately sent 30,000 troops to attack Suzhou.
The idea of smoked is like this:
In Suzhou, not only will the main force of the Qin army be cut off, but the Huns can also regain the advantageous offensive position... Whether the Qin army or the Yuezhi army win, Shazhou will face two sides of the Huns.
The Yuezhi and the Xiongnu each had their own plans, and their abacus was so loud that they were just waiting for the Qin army to be wiped out.
King Yuezhi had another hope, he was wondering... If the Xiongnu attacked Suzhou, would the main force of the Qin army at this time understand that the Qin army would not be able to win this battle?
If the Qin army realized this, should we withdraw our troops and return to Suzhou?
The Yuezhi King even wondered if the Qin army was insufficient supply and could not return to Suzhou?
If so, it would be fine if Yuezhi could send some cattle and sheep to the Qin army.
What the King of Yuezhi didn't know was that at this time, Wang Ben had led 3,000 people out of the mountainous area and approached Shazhou from the south.
Before entering the mountainous area, Shen Bing also did some homework.
The first thing is to find people familiar with this mountainous area as guides.
Although the Qianli family is good at marching in the mountains, they live in Xitao after all, and if the terrain is not familiar with it, they will have to do a lot of useless work.
It is not difficult to find such a person... The Qin army captured 20,000 Yuezhi soldiers.
Among the 20,000 Yuezhi soldiers, there are more or less a few people from this mountainous area. If you give them some benefits, you will become guides.
Another homework is to draw in detail the location of Shazhou City Defense and the Yuezhi King.
This is even simpler. Almost everyone knows the 20,000 Yuezhi soldiers.
Just take some time to ask a few more people, and then combine the answers given by several people, and a complete and detailed map of Shazhou and city defense will come out.
Of course, there must be big differences in the city defense.
The reason is that before this, there were many garrisons in Shazhou. At this time, Yuezhi first lost 30,000 yuan and then sent 30,000 troops to station Sanwei Mountain. The garrisons in Shazhou were less than 10,000.
This ten thousand are distributed around Shazhou and the main force is still east-west to north... These two directions are the main directions of the attacks of the Huns and Qin troops.
So there were only two thousand people heading west and south.
