King Chaori brought 50,000 Tianzhu elites, including elephant soldiers, and approached Qiancheng unhurriedly.
Along the way, he frowned deeply.
It is absolutely true that the Western Region is the Silk Road and the main road connecting China and the West. The problem is that the Western Regions are full of deserts, filled with yellow sand and Gobi deserts, unlike the clear waters and green mountains that can be seen everywhere in Tianzhu.
King Chaori despised such an area.
Especially now that the weather is weird. It's fine during the day, but at night it's bitterly cold and very uncomfortable. King Chaori, who was accustomed to the climate of Tianzhu, was suddenly exposed to the bitter cold climate and fell into the exotic environment of the Western Regions. King Chaori was very uncomfortable with it.
King Chaori despised the Western Regions from the bottom of his heart.
If the Western Regions were not connected to the Ming Dynasty, and winning the Western Regions would lay the foundation for his next attack on the Ming Dynasty, King Chaori would definitely have withdrawn his troops, unwilling to stay in the Western Regions, governing such a barren land, and wasting energy.
At noon, the army stopped to rest and began to eat to fill their stomachs.
The army's food supply in the Western Regions did not rely on logistics from Tianzhu. King Chaori ordered the local nobles to pay.
The nobles of various countries in the Western Regions complained against Tianzhu.
When Moshe Tuo was here, he plundered the local nobles' food. When Shavadi was recruiting soldiers, he looted again. Now King Chaori came with his army and also searched the place.
After searching layer by layer, there was no food left at the landlord's house.
The place is groaning and destitute.
It is difficult for the people, and it is also difficult for the nobles of the Western Regions, because no country in the Western Regions can resist the Tianzhu army of King Chaori.
While the army was resting, King Chaori also started to eat. What he ate was mutton, which had been cooked by a special royal chef for a long time. It could be eaten after being heated at noon without having to wait for a long time.
After King Chaori had eaten and drank enough, he called his chamberlain Mo Di and asked, "How far is it from Takancheng in Kucha Kingdom?"
Emperor Mo quickly said: "There are still twenty miles, we can arrive in the afternoon."
King Chaori nodded and ordered: "When the army arrives in Qiancheng, you can make arrangements and find some beautiful women to sleep with."
"As you command!"
Mo Di answered without hesitation.
He knew the emperor's nature, he was energetic, controlling, and liked to reproduce.
When you get to Qiancheng, you will naturally want to find a woman to serve you.
Emperor Mo would not comment, because the emperor was very energetic. The emperor often handled official business in the middle of the night and summoned officials to discuss matters in the middle of the night. When the mood strikes, I will hold candlelight conversations with eminent monks in the middle of the night, discussing the principles of Buddhism.
King Chaori's control over Tianzhu also made Tianzhu more powerful because of his tough methods and gentleness to appease the people.
Tianzhu's weapons are sharper.
The people of Tianzhu have a better life.
Tianzhu's territory has become wider.
This is the reason why King Chaori has such high prestige in Tianzhu.
King Chaori changed the topic and ordered: "Go and notify Vishnu to discuss the matter."
"As you command!"
Emperor Mo immediately agreed and got up to make arrangements.
After a while, Vishnu came to King Chaori. Vishnu is in his thirties, with a thin body, not tall, but a pair of eyes that reveal wisdom and understanding. He is the counselor of King Chaori.
Vishnu saluted and said, "Your Majesty the King."
King Chaori nodded and said: "We are about to arrive at Qiancheng. I just thought of a question that I missed from the beginning."
Vishnu said: "Please show me the king."
King Chaori said in a deep voice: "We have entered the Western Region, and our control over the Western Region is not enough. If we want to control the Western Region, we cannot just rely on forced suppression by the army. Otherwise, there will be no long-term peace and stability."
Vishnu asked: "What arrangements does His Majesty the King have?"
King Chaori said in a deep voice: "Inform the monks in the country, especially the eminent monks of Prajna Temple, to dispatch a large number of monks to the Western Regions to spread Buddhism, so that people from all countries in the Western Regions will believe in Buddhism and become Buddhists."
"In addition, instilling the caste system will make the Western Region an area controlled by the caste system. Only in this way will the people from various countries in the Western Region have faith and accept our control."
"Otherwise, once you leave, there will be a recurrence."
"This matter will be arranged immediately."
King Chaori looked serious and said: "As for the Ming Dynasty, if the army cannot go there for the time being, we must control the Western Regions. Once the Western Regions are taken, we can arrange for the monks from Prajna Temple to go to the Ming Dynasty to spread Buddhism. As long as there are believers, the actions in the Ming Dynasty will be It’s going to go well.”
Vishnu looked excited and said loudly: "His Majesty the King has really thought deeply about this. It is indeed the best arrangement."
King Chaori nodded and said: "Go down."
Vishnu got up and went to make arrangements.
After the soldiers had eaten, the army rested for half an hour and then set off, continuing towards the direction of Qiancheng. When King Chaori started heading towards Qiancheng, a sentinel suddenly came to report the news that many people in Qiancheng were fleeing and running in all directions.
The reason is that the people of Tianzhu are cruel and cruel.
He also said that King Chaori wanted to massacre the people.
King Chaori's face darkened, this was deliberately aimed at Tianzhu. Thinking of the Ming Dynasty and the local aristocrats in the Western Regions, King Chaori weighed it and was more inclined to think that it was the propaganda of the local aristocrats, with a little influence of the Ming Dynasty.
Moshetuo was still on the front line, and the influence of the Ming Dynasty had not yet spread to other cities.
King Chaori was angry, but he made no arrangements. Even if the nobles of the Western Regions or the Ming Dynasty want to throw dirty water on Tianzhu, it will not be of much use.
After all, people from all countries in the Western Region cannot escape.
What's more, it's impossible for everyone to run away, there will always be someone who stays. The big nobles who really have food cannot move away easily. Once they leave, the local land will be gone and the food cannot be moved away.
King Chaori ignored it and ordered the troops to continue marching.
Because the army led by King Chaori was not far from Qiancheng, even though the elephant soldiers were slower, the army still arrived at Qiancheng around Shen time in the afternoon.
King Chaori stood outside the city, looking at the dilapidated and lonely city. The city was quite empty, and there were only one or two people heading into the city. When these people saw King Chaori's army coming, they entered the city quickly and disappeared from sight.
King Chaori did not delay and ordered the army to enter the city first.
King Chaori was preparing to rest in Qiancheng. As for the frontline army fighting, Moshetuo was in charge, plus Moshetuo's elite, and the Western Regions had mobilized 40,000 to 50,000 elite troops. He believed that there would be no problems on the frontline.
Chaori King just needs to move forward steadily.
The army began to enter the city.
These Tianzhu soldiers looked very excited in their eyes. Halfway through the journey, there were many desert and Gobi areas, many uninhabited areas, and I couldn't relax even if I wanted to.
Kancheng is different.
This is the capital of Qiuci, so there must be women and drinks. When the army is stationed in the city, the soldiers can rest and go out to enjoy themselves.
When groups of Tianzhu soldiers entered the city, Chen Dao and Ma Chao were waiting quietly on the city tower.
The two of them had already prepared everything.
Now, let a large number of Tianzhu soldiers enter the city.
Chen Dao estimated that there were about six to seven thousand Tianzhu soldiers entering. This number was huge, and the street area from the gate into the city to the city was already the limit. He said decisively: "Fire the arrow!"
After the order was given, the cavalrymen who had been prepared on the city tower drew their bows and arrows and shot towards the bottom of the city tower.
The arrowheads of these bows and arrows were tied with cotton cloth soaked in kerosene. After igniting the fire, all they shot were rockets.
After the rocket fell, it hit many Tianzhu soldiers, and many others fell to the ground.
The Tianzhu soldiers were attacked and chaos suddenly broke out.
While the Tianzhu soldiers were on alert for defense, more rockets fell on the wormwood on the ground. On the way into the city, the ground was covered with wormwood, and there were haystacks nearby, and some wooden carts stopped there.
There are also haystacks on the wooden cart.
The miscellaneous furnishings are all used to start the fire.
Together with the fire, the surrounding area quickly burned, causing the Tianzhu soldiers to become even more confused. It's just that such an area is neither grass nor mountain forest, so it cannot form a sea of fire. Even so, the flames burning everywhere caused the Tianzhu soldiers in the city to crowd together and trample on each other.
As a result, Tianzhu soldiers were running around.
Under this premise, the Tianzhu soldiers' defense against the archers on the city tower was very weak. The dense bows and arrows fell on large numbers of Tianzhu people, killing each of them.
"There's an ambush on the city tower, kill them."
Some Tianzhu generals shouted.
Many Tianzhu soldiers walked along the road and wanted to climb the tower.
At the same time, King Chaori outside the city also noticed the shouts of killing in the city and noticed the burning flames. One of his cheeks turned cold because he didn't expect to be ambushed in Qiancheng.
King Chaori looked cold, said nothing, and did not interfere.
The more than 6,000 Tianzhu soldiers who entered the city were all elite. Even if they were ambushed by a small group, they were enough to deal with everything they could do in the city.
King Chaori waited while the shooting on the tower continued.
More and more Tianzhu soldiers were killed or injured.
Ma Chao saw many people coming to kill us on the Chi Road. He organized his soldiers to use rolling stones and oil to stop them for a while, and said loudly: "General Chen, more and more people are coming to kill us. We need to evacuate. Otherwise, we will be easily attacked." Get entangled. Wait until we leave Qiancheng, and then deal with the elites of King Chaori."
"Okay, withdraw!"
Chen Dao gave the order decisively.
Together with Ma Chao, he quickly left the West City and headed toward the East City along the wall on the tower.
The army of King Chaori is close to the West City. Enter through the West City. The ambush arranged by Chen Dao and Ma Chao was at the gate of the West City. Their purpose was just to kill the Tianzhu soldiers of King Chaori.
A thousand people left and soon arrived at Dongcheng. All the people got on their horses and rode away from Dongcheng.
Chen Dao and Ma Chao evacuated, and the news was quickly discovered by Tianzhu sentry detectives, who reported it to Queen Chaori, who looked even more unhappy.
This is the army of Ming Dynasty.
This was even more of a provocation to him.
After thinking for a while, King Chaori ordered: "Niandala!"
"exist!"
Niandala answered immediately.
Niandala is a heroic cavalry general under King Chaori. He is very skilled in riding and very capable. He is also very skilled in martial arts and is very good at charging into battle.
King Chaori said coldly: "The Ming Dynasty's cavalry is not large in number. I will give you two thousand elite cavalry. You must catch up with these people and defeat them in one go. You must also capture the opponent's leading general."
"As you command!"
Niandala replied loudly.
He held a sword, mobilized two thousand cavalry, and chased them out at lightning speed. Two thousand cavalry rushed forward and quickly disappeared from King Chaori's sight.
