Chapter 1015: Dawan Kingdom, the Smoke Rises

The frontier fortress of the Dawan Kingdom and the Protectorate of the Western Regions set up many beacons, and each beacon was guarded by a few to dozens of Han soldiers. Once an enemy cavalry invaded, the beacons would be lit immediately to alert the rear of the city.

"Master Da Du Hu has gone somewhere, I haven't seen Da Du Hu lord for a long time."

"Soldiers like us, do we still want to see the Great Protector?"

"That's not necessarily the case. When I was fighting the Mongols before, I saw the Great Protector with my own eyes."

"It's been a long time since the Mongols have fought against our Protectorate of the Western Regions. Dawan Kingdom hasn't been conquered for at least five years."

More than a dozen Han troops stationed at one of the beacons have been relaxed.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions conquered Dawan Kingdom for several years and regarded Dawan Kingdom as its own territory.

Suddenly, the cowhide wine bag in the hand of the scout of the Han army standing on the second-level wooden arrow tower fell, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

The scouts of the Han army stared wide-eyed, showing an expression of disbelief: "Enemy cavalry!"

"Quick, light the beacon fire!"

The rest of the Han soldiers who were chatting immediately picked up their weapons, and the veterans of the Han army lit the beacon smoke!

At the end of the horizon, a slender black line appeared.

The Khitan military general Yelu Dashi with his golden sword and horse led a group of Turkic cavalry to invade Dawan Kingdom in an attempt to break through Dawan's defense line and reconquer the Protectorate of the Western Regions!

This is the second time that Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi have attempted to conquer the Protectorate of the Western Regions!

Last time, the combination of Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi, together with Temujin, attacked the Western Regions aggressively, but was repelled by the expeditionary force of the princes of the Han Empire.

This time, Wo Kuotai, who had tried his hardest and tried his best, had accumulated enough population and troops, and dispatched Yelu Dashi to provoke the Western Regions Protectorate.

"Taking Dawan Kingdom, the population of Dawan Kingdom will be your slaves."

Yelu Dashi drew out his saber and flooded the beacon with 50,000 Turkic cavalry. The Han soldiers stationed at the beacon fled after lighting the beacon.

"My lord, look, there is wolf smoke in the southwest!"

"Light the beacon, send out cavalry, and notify Lord Huo Qubing!"

The Han army stationed in the nearby beacon immediately lit the beacon, and the scout cavalry rushed to the camps!

All of a sudden, Dawan Kingdom was on fire!

"General, there are a large number of cavalry in the southwest!"

"Follow me to meet the enemy!"

In addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses scattered around the frontier, Huo Qubing also had 50,000 cavalry in his hands. When he learned that Yelu Dashi led the Turkic cavalry into the Dawan Kingdom controlled by the Protectorate of the Western Regions, he immediately fought.

"The Turkic cavalry came to attack, and the gates of the cities were closed, and they were not allowed to leave the city!"

Ban Chao, who presided over Dawan's internal affairs, was sweating profusely.

He had already smelled the presence of Wo Kuotai's forces invading the Protectorate of the Western Regions in advance. As a famous general with both civil and military skills, his sense of smell was naturally very keen. The most worrying thing still happened.

Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi accumulated strength, and they chose the time when Chutian's forces attacked Shu in an all-round way? At this time, Huo An, the governor of the Western Regions, was not even in the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions.

"The timing of Yelu Dashi's choice is absolutely perfect? ​​If it is not handled well, Dawan Kingdom will be lost? With the current strength of Wokuotai and Yelu Dashi? It will be more difficult to cross Congling again in the future... Even if Dawan Kingdom cannot be defended? Also try to delay the time as much as possible...Come here, gather 70,000 troops in Guishan City? How many generals, Chen Tang, please come and help me!"

Ban Chao thought it was necessary to send troops in person.

King Mei Cai of Dawan Kingdom, who was supported by Huo An, and a group of Dawan nobles panicked. Guishan City has been sealed off by the Han army, and no one can enter or leave? The war is about to break out.

Rumors abound in the city of Guishan? It is rumored that the Great Khan of the Second Mongol Empire, Okuotai, conscripted millions of troops to attack the Dawan Kingdom.

Mei Cai thought of the terrifying Mongolian cavalry, so he had to ask Ban Chao who was preparing for the battle on behalf of the nobles of Dawan: "Ban Chao, it is said in the city that the Mongolian Khan personally conquered Dawan, and there are millions of cavalry. Our Dawan has a population of less than two million. The number of young and strong soldiers is still less than that of Wo Kuotai's soldiers...and? Mongolian and Turkic generals, many of them may massacre the city..."

"Mei Cai? Don't panic, this is just a temptation by Wo Kuotai. He has occupied so many territories? Are the princes of India's Tubang and the five nobles of Silicon Frost dissatisfied with Wo Kuotai? The main force of Wo Kuotai is dissatisfied Dare to leave the Indian peninsula easily."

Ban Chao's understanding of the situation is amazing? Spreading rumors in Yelu Dashi? The main force of the platform.

Ban Chao continued: "Meicai, you are the king who is supported by the Great Protector. If our Han army retreats from Dawan Kingdom, the group of nobles who are ready to move may kill you to curry favor with the Turks. At that time, The Turks have appointed a new general."

Mei Cai sweats like rain.

What Ban Chao said was right. Without Huo An's support, he would not have been able to ascend the throne of Dawan Kingdom. His power came from the Han army stationed in Guishan City.

Once Ban Chao leaves, the nobles of Dawan Kingdom will probably appoint a new king.

"Don't worry, if Yelu Dashi wants to win the Dawan Kingdom, he has to pass my test. As a general guarding the border, he must do his duty faithfully."

The soldiers put on iron armor for Ban Chao, and Ban Chao personally sent troops to support Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing had only one person, and the Turkic cavalry who attacked Dawan Kingdom may not be just soldiers and horses from Yelu Dashi.

Although Yelu Dashi is a Khitan, there are only a few Khitan cavalry, the only large Khitan tribe, who was arranged by Chutian to breed war horses for the empire in the Monan grassland.

Yelv Dashi's cavalry is the Central Asian Turkic cavalry who took refuge in him.

A secondary town was breached by the cavalry of Yelu Dashi, and the Turkic cavalry looted wantonly in the city.

Yelu Dashi had no intention of stopping him.

In "The Lord", in addition to the characteristics that can quickly restore morale, vertical soldiers and looting can also restore morale.

The negative effect of longitudinal military looting is that the law and order of a city and the popularity of the people will decline, and various buildings will be destroyed, and even the level will be lowered. For example, a five-level blacksmith shop may be reduced to a fourth-level blacksmith shop.

Generally speaking, if you want to take a place for yourself, the generals leading the troops will not easily indulge the army to plunder, otherwise a prosperous city may be turned into ruins.

Ordering the massacre of a city can even completely destroy a city.

However, the current Yelu Dashi is fighting in the sphere of influence of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, so he will not show mercy.

Yelu Dashi watched the entire secondary town engulfed in flames, and remained indifferent.

Those who want to achieve great things can afford to pay some price.

A Turkic general took the initiative to lead troops to plunder.

Yelu Dashi said to the Turkic general: "Jieli, you lead your cavalry and stand guard around."

"Take orders."

The Turkic generals took away thousands of elite Turkic cavalry. This group of Turkic cavalry was a little dissatisfied. They had not looted enough property.

Yelu Dashi was extremely cautious.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions has 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the quality of the generals is not low. Huo Qubing and Ban Chao are in the Dawan Kingdom, and they are old enemies.

Yelu Dashi thought he was not as good as Huo Qubing, but he adopted a strategy of dividing troops.

Dawan Kingdom, a small city with a population of tens of thousands, was breached by another group of Turkic cavalry!

Shibi Khan, the Turkic civilization, led Turkic cavalry into the city to loot.

The fire was reflected in Shibi Khan's eyes, and there was no mercy. This was the war in the era of cold weapons, and there was no order.

In addition to Yelu Dashi and Shibi Khan, Jinzhang Khan Batu and his younger brother Beerge led a cavalry composed of Mongolian cavalry and Indian Kshatriya warriors to attack Guishan City in Dawan Kingdom.

The Grassland Empire suddenly attacked the Dawan Kingdom on a large scale. For a while, the Wusun Kingdom, the Cheshi Kingdom, and the Kucha Kingdom in the Western Regions were all alarmed.

In the Wusun country, the Wusun king who followed Huo An in the battle is already a little old, with gray temples.

"There is an accident in the territory of the Great Governor, how can we Wusun Kingdom stand by and watch. Everyone in Wusun Kingdom, follow me to Dawan Kingdom!"

King Wusun was also a vassal supported by Huo An, and a fanatical supporter of Huo An. With one order, 100,000 cavalry from Wusun Kingdom were sent to Dawan Kingdom one after another.

"The people of Wusun have also joined the battle!"

The people of Dawan in Guishan City were even more panicked when they discovered that the cavalrymen of Wusun Kingdom appeared in the city. This war may reduce the population of Dawan Kingdom by half.
