"You have led the troops here for so long just to wait for us to join together?"
In Wusun territory, King Hunxie was also asking the same question.
He had made many guesses about the route Zhao Anji led his troops to Wusun.
"Joining forces with you is part of the combat goal.
We came over first and did some mapping and exploration of the enemy territory.
Including a small group of troops sneaking into Wusun first to check the distribution of cities along the combat route, as well as the approximate number of defensive troops and horses, etc. "
Zhao Anji said:
"These people under my command have received relevant training not long ago. Huo Hou said that he is also thinking about the corresponding combat methods. We are here for practice."
King Hunxie looked at King Tu on the other side and found that he, like himself, only understood half of what he said.
What is surveying and mapping, and what does it have to do with war?
“You speak Hunnic and are you a Huns?”
"No, I learned Hun from Fulu China."
Zhao Anji said: "A small team from Xiuyi also acted with us.
According to the information discovered, going further is another city in the north of Wusun, Satuo along the Ili River. "
"The city has more than a thousand defenders during non-war times. Our pre-war tactics were to concentrate all our efforts on attacking the south gate. The permanent guards at the south gate are between 12 and 150 people.
The army personnel wearing embroidered clothes will use the art of skin painting to disguise themselves as Wusun people. They will attack when they get close and assist us in the raid.
Let's first use the stratagem to sneak into the vicinity of the city, and then the inside and outside will be coordinated. They don't have time to close the gates before we can rush in. If the situation is not ideal, there are still preparation plans..."
"It makes sense, we will cooperate fully!"
King Hunxie felt that it was difficult for him to give more specific combat advice.
The Huns have lived on the grasslands for generations. Horse fighting and weapons are king. When they see their opponents, they draw up their array and go up to fight.
The most delicate method of fighting during the battle is to make full use of the skillful changes in riding skills, gathering and scattering like a pack of wolves hunting.
After activating the power of cultivation, it also has an effect similar to that of a military formation.
In addition, some artifacts and even shamanic techniques will be used.
But now that he was joining the Han army, King Hunxie felt that his options for fighting suddenly became richer.
Detect your opponent clearly in advance and make full use of your suddenness and concealment to fight.
It felt like Huo Qubing was studying a new way of fighting.
Don’t underestimate details like this.
These are the mature combat concepts developed by later generations, and Huo Qubing is constantly exploring and adjusting them to make them more suitable for the present.
In today's army, a team of five men is the smallest combat unit.
Huo Qubing was considering whether three people would form a combat unit in later generations. Could it be implemented in the Han Dynasty?
Similar changes are the result of thousands of years of historical changes, which have been continuously tested and summarized in later generations.
Of course, some are not necessarily suitable for cold weapon combat, so Huo Qubing must continue to practice to sum up experience.
His goal was not only to make the Han army an invincible force, but also to leave behind a set of effective military concepts and training methods that could be passed down from generation to generation.
Let future generations of military strategists stand higher from the starting point.
This was also his purpose in promoting the establishment of the military mansion.
At this time, King Qingxie listened to what Zhao Anji said and looked at King Tu again calmly.
I felt happy when I saw King Tu Tu looking confused, as if he was even more confused than himself.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t understand, as long as there are people who are more confused than me.
"Let's go, we are almost reaching the city in front. We are still divided into two teams. The front army rushes into the formation, and the large army of soldiers and horses follows. Don't expose all our soldiers and horses prematurely."
Zhao Anji took out a new stratagem slip, and after triggering it, the entire team went into hiding and their whereabouts disappeared.
Starting from mid-July, the Han army raided into the northern part of Wusun and continued to advance within its territory.
A few days later, Chang'an.
Gao Street, Nancheng, the residence of foreign envoys.
Roshna just used Shata to complete a contact with Kucha.
"What's the situation? Where did the Han army attack in Wusun?" the leader of Qiuci asked at the side.
Although we already knew from Huo Qubing that he sent Han troops to attack Wusun.
But people from the countries in the Western Regions privately have their own channels to determine the current situation in the Western Regions.
The northern line of Kucha borders the southern line of Wusun.
The relationship between the two countries has always been delicate, so they were able to detect some of Wusun's movements.
"The news sent by Nale (Kiuchi Prime Minister) said that in the past few days, Wusun had been increasing the defenses in the area connecting the southern line and us to prevent the Han army from entering Wusun from Kucha.
But starting from the day before yesterday, they mobilized some troops and horses from the cities on the southern line and headed north. "
Roshna's shining eyes moved and she said to the Lord of Kucha:
"Wusun even has to mobilize the troops defending the southern front to go north. It seems that the situation is very bad."
The Lord of Kucha nodded slightly.
"Not only Wusun was attacked, but the news came that the Han army still has a group of soldiers and horses, which showed their whereabouts only yesterday, and is active in the southwest of our Western Region, and the marching target is Shule.
Shule, Yarkand and other Qiuci countries were the farthest from the Han Dynasty, and none of them sent anyone to Chang'an this time. "
Roshna was talking about the Han army led by Fu Luzhi.
In the Western Regions, the Han army attacked in several directions and decisively sent troops to those who did not come to Chang'an. There was no room for negotiation or maneuvering.
However, not all the troops and horses of the Han army that entered the Western Regions successfully defeated the enemy.
Li Gan, Yao Zhao, and Chen Qingna were on the march and were about to attack Yanqi when they encountered an accident.
After nightfall, the soldiers stationed in the camp heard a singing voice one after another, as if coming from their own minds, and they were unconscious.
The camp was infiltrated, and Yao Zhao, who was on guard duty, encountered the intruder, fought, and was severely wounded.
There were still many soldiers in the Han army who were mentally confused, and the march was therefore put on hold.
This gave Yanqi, who was originally preparing to attack, sufficient preparation time.
The Han army's set combat goals along the way were severely frustrated before they could be launched.
An afternoon in late July.
Outside the Han army camp, on the tall sand dunes, Liu Ru and Wu Yun and others looked at the Han army camp from a distance.
They were the ones who entered the camp to attack the Han army and caused confusion among many Han soldiers.
They were planning to disrupt the situation in the Western Regions and lure Huo Qubing to come to the Western Regions.
Unexpectedly, the Han army advanced several ways and attacked at an extraordinary speed. There was a big gap between the development of the situation and what they expected.
If the Han army is allowed to complete all combat missions, the invasion of the Western Regions by the Han will be unstoppable, and all the benefits will be gained by the Han.
Therefore, Liu Ru, Wu Yun and others adjusted their plans, urged the Sutra Seal to disrupt the Han army, and took the opportunity to attack the camp.
Their goal was to kill the Han army commander in the camp.
But the situation was not as expected, so he could only withdraw after injuring Yao Zhao.
"The Han army has defeated several cities in Wusun, and is attacking Shule all the way to the southwest."
The old man who is the head of the Five Yunnan, his brown robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes looking at the Han army camp in the distance:
"We should use all our strength to activate the sutra seals to make the Han army suffer more losses along the way, and then we can lead the Han general Huo Qubing to come to the Western Regions to deal with everything."
The Han army was so capable of fighting, and the speed with which they advanced in the Western Regions was indeed beyond their expectations.
"If this Han army is severely damaged, the Han army should send higher-level generals.
It's a pity that the existence of the sutra seal has just been exposed. "The Sixth Master said.
The old man at the head of the five aggregates said calmly:
"It's okay. The Han people don't know the scriptures, and the scriptures are sealed into their bodies, which will be difficult to get rid of for life. Unless they have the heart to kill tens of thousands of Han troops in the Yumen camp, otherwise these Han troops are affected by the scriptures and can only be weakened and suppressed, but cannot Completely eliminate it, and after a while, it will be more obvious!”
Liu Ru stepped towards the Han army camp, with layers of lotus-like imprints appearing under his feet:
"Since you have decided to take action, let's make it bigger. Then go to the Han military camp."
Wu Yun and others followed.
On this day, a huge phantom of a bowl appeared in the sky above the Han army camp.
There are countless Sanskrit sutra seals on it, shining brightly.
Every time the bowl body vibrated and transmitted sound, many Han soldiers would feel pain in their brains, affected by the sound of chanting scriptures.
When the Han army mobilizes its troops and the troops are in harmony and enter combat mode, this voice will be temporarily suppressed.
Liu Ru and Wu Yun's men took the opportunity to attack the camp and attack the Han generals.
The news quickly spread back to Chang'an through Tongxinlianye.
When the news was received, Huo Qubing was handling military affairs in the Forbidden Army Hall.
Although he was not in the Western Regions, he could send and receive various messages in a timely manner and issue orders to the Han army in the Western Regions through the Tongxin Lotus Leaf Communication.
The afterglow of the sunset spilled in from the window.
On the low mat in front of Huo Qubing was a map of the distribution of countries in the Western Regions.
He made multiple annotations on the picture.
Among them, there are many small countries in the southwest of the Western Region.
These small countries, taking advantage of their long distances, did not pay any attention to the news sent by the Han Dynasty inviting them to come to Chang'an, and none of them sent people over.
This time, Fu Luzhi led the way and was responsible for suppressing the small countries in the southwest of the Western Region.
Zhao Anji, King Hunxie, and King Tu Tu entered Wusun territory hand in hand.
Both paths went quite smoothly.
But Li Gan, Yao Zhao, and Chen Qing, who sent troops in a straight line, had a problem.
The news sent back said that someone attacked the camp twice, and Yao Zhao and Li Gan were injured successively.
The Han soldiers in the team would hear the chanting of scriptures and be flooded with consciousness when the opponent attacked the camp.
Huo Qubing was silent in thought.
Li Gan alone had problems along the way...
The biggest difference between them and the other two groups is that their tribesmen have been stationed at the Yumen camp for a long time, while the other two groups of troops are all tribesmen who were dispatched to attack.
Someone took advantage of the Han army's garrison in the Western Regions and tampered with it?
How can most of the Han army be affected at the same time?
Food and water... Huo Qubing's thoughts flickered.
There are not a few Han troops stationed in Yumen at the moment. If most of the Han troops are affected in some way, then this matter... is really not a small matter.
"Master Marquis, there are visitors at home. The princess sent someone to send a message and asked Master Marquis to return home early."
The lofty figure walked in from the door and said in a loud voice.
"Um."
Huo Qubing stood up and left the hall.
Champion House.
When he came back, there were several figures with different styles sitting by the lake in his home.
Liu Qing wore a lavender Han skirt and sat gracefully at the main seat.
After the honey trap was promoted, in addition to Huo Qubing, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who interacted closely with him day and night, benefited the most. She was nourished extremely well, and her appearance was magnificent and charming.
Sitting under her was Zhuo Qingke, who was wearing a light green fairy skirt.
The girl's face is as delicate as porcelain glaze, with delicate features.
A few months later, she recovered a little from her father's disappearance. When she listened to other people talking, she would occasionally smile, which reminded her of the poem "Peach Blossoms Are Young, A Girl's Beauty".
Sitting across from Zhuo Qingke was Roshna.
She is dressed in lake blue, with gold piping on the cuffs and skirt corners, and is full of exotic style clothing.
The chest is full of charm, like peonies in full bloom, as delicate and beautiful as can be.
Next to Zhuo Qingke is Bai Nanyu in a rose-colored Chinese dress.
The sunset was about to set, illuminating her slantingly. Her simple sitting posture had an indescribable charm and allure.
In addition, Zhuo Wenjun was also present.
In front of each person's seat, there is a small wooden tray with various snacks and snacks inside.
Are the women having a tea party?
Since returning from the Yinxian Sect and looking at Bai Nanyu in the sect's mirror that reflects the soul, Liu Qing has become less targeted towards her. In the past few days, Bai Nanyu would occasionally come to the Hou Mansion to visit Zhuo Qingke.
Huo Qubing came over to say hello, seemed to have spoken a few words to Liu Qing through the voice transmission, briefly signaled to the others, and then turned around.
Liu Qing's eyes followed Huo Qubing away.
Zhuo Qingke pursed his lips: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Hou?"
"Well, I said I was going out and not going back tonight."
After Liu Qing finished speaking, he looked at Bai Nanyu and said: "As I said last time, you let me take care of the soul. If there is no problem, I can't help you following the Marquis. If you want to go, go ahead."
Bai Nanyu's watery peach blossom eyes narrowed: "The Marquis has not invited me to accompany him, so I don't dare to overstep my bounds."
Liu Qing raised the corners of his lips: "I'm not testing you, go ahead. Just tell Mr. Marquis that I let you go."
Bai Nanyu then stood up and walked away lightly.
Liu Qing glanced at Bai Nanyu's round and swaying buttocks under her skirt after she turned around, and quietly pouted.
Huo Qubing returned to the inner house and went directly to the Taoist Master: "Last time I went to the Yinxian Sect, I saw an ancient bell the size of a bell in the ancestor's ancestral hall. Qing'er said it was the Taoist treasure and the bell had the power to shake the soul, but it's really ?”
Dao Zun was eating chicken feet in the backyard with relish. When he heard this, he squinted and said:
"Why, you went to my Hidden Immortal Sect and you noticed the things in my door again. There is no door at all."
Huo Qubing spread his hands and said, "I just found out a new clue about the Dao Jian, and I want to tell you in exchange for borrowing the Dao Bell. It seems that you are not interested."
"Where is Dao Jian...?"
Tao Zun: "Are you sure it's the Tao slip and there are no lies?"
Half a quarter of an hour later, a horse honked in the mansion, its hooves sounded like thunder, and it galloped away.
