Chapter 787: Actor Wusun King
On the battlefield of Dawan Kingdom, the expeditionary army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions fought fiercely with the army of the Guishuang Empire. The battle was extremely stalemate. Because the Protectorate of the Western Regions crossed the Congling expedition, the troops brought by the Protectorate of the Western Regions were not many, one against four.
The imperial guards of the Guishuang Empire were dispatched, 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 horse archers attacked from the left wing, and the dust was billowing. This is a desperate force.
Thirty thousand cavalry archers used their bows and arrows to cover their armored cavalry and charged, and the rain of arrows covered Ma Chao's five thousand Xiliang cavalry.
"It's really troublesome."
Ma Chao swung his gun and swung away all the arrows shooting at him. The gold and stone collided, and the arrows flew around.
"Xiliang, Xiliang!"
Five thousand iron cavalry attacked the heavy cavalry on the opposite side!
"Cover Chao'er!"
The generals Ma Teng and Han Sui led the cavalry archers to confront the cavalry archers of the Guishuang Empire.
However, the weakness of the inferior force was revealed. One arrow shot past, and three arrows shot from the opposite side.
The rain of arrows hit the armor of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and many arrows could not break through the defense. The same is true for the Guishuang Imperial Guards equipped with heavy cavalry on the opposite side!
Two heavy cavalry collided at an extremely fast speed!
Ma Chao knocked down one of the opponent's generals and knocked down the cavalry behind him!
"A roundabout attack!"
Huo Qubing led the 800 imperial hussars to make a quick detour, at an extremely fast speed, dashed into the opponent's flank, and defeated the 5,000 light cavalry on the opponent's flank!
Huo Qubing rushed from left to right in the enemy's formation, and for a while the Guishuang Empire's army had nothing to do with him. The breakthrough speed of the eight hundred hussars was too fast, and they were mixed with the Guishuang Empire's army, making the Guishuang Empire's archers be wary.
"Silver spear effect, line up!"
Xu Fengnian is now also a powerful supporter of the Western Regions Protectorate. General Yang Shihou's silver guns are all high-level spearmen. The spear forest formed is like an iron hedgehog. A group of heavy cavalry from the Guishuang Empire is trying to attack the silver guns. Both, but failed miserably, except for the death of 500 heavy cavalry, there was not much gain.
Two generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Hu and Dugu Xin, followed Xu Fengnian and led the light cavalry as a reserve team.
Huo An did not send all the cavalry, Ban Chao and Wang Xuance were his reserve generals.
The strength of the Guishuang Empire is four times that of theirs. Although it is impossible for the proportion of high-level troops to reach four times, the number of high-level troops of the Guishuang Empire on the battlefield should be no less than the high-level troops of the Western Regions Protectorate Army , There is no shortage of generals, and the princes of each tribe are heroes at the general level. The difference between the cold weapon generations of various civilizations is not obvious.
The two sides saw each other back and forth. With 800 hussars, Huo Qubing had already beheaded 3,000 cavalrymen and defeated tens of thousands of cavalrymen. Dozens of imperial hussars fell from their horses with arrows.
This time, the crossbowmen of the Guishuang Empire simply attacked indiscriminately, covering the cavalry, war horses and even the infantry of the Guishuang Empire.
The war started from noon to sunset, and the Guishuang Empire lost 30,000 people, while the Protectorate of the Western Regions lost 7,000 people.
The cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom also entered the battlefield. This time they swung their swords to kill the army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, increasing the strength of the Guishuang Empire's army.
Huo An was always paying attention to the status of each legion, frowning, and the continuous battle was a huge drain on the legion's physical strength.
The Guishuang Empire still has surplus troops that can be rotated to restore morale and physical strength in turn.
[Legion]: Hussars of the Han Empire
【Commander】: Huo Qubing
【Number】: 532
[Status]: Tired
【Average grade】: 87
[Morale]: 47 (combat power ↓)
[Physical strength]: 25 (combat strength ↓)
...
"The morale of each legion, especially the physical strength, is about to bottom out, and the weakening of combat power is too obvious. But the army of the Guishuang Empire must be the same. Ming Jin withdraws troops."
Huo An ordered the army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions to leave the battlefield.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions has not yet been defeated, but almost at the same time as the army of the Guishuang Empire.
The 300,000 troops of the Guishuang Empire and the 70,000 troops of the Protectorate of the Western Regions were exhausted.
"The generals of the Protectorate of the Western Regions are really brave, and they were almost broken by them. However, we have more population and troops. As long as we continue to consume them, we will win in the end. King Wusun performed well in this battle , it seems that he has had conflicts with the Great Protector of the Western Regions."
"A hundred thousand troops are recruited from the royal city!"
King Guishuang bullied the few with more, but instead remained in a stalemate, thinking that he had lost face, so he asked for 100,000 reinforcements from the rear, and he must completely annihilate the expeditionary army of the Western Regions Protectorate.
King Wusun's cavalry of Wusun Kingdom made meritorious service in this battle, and King Guishuang personally summoned King Wusun to appease him.
This time, King Wusun made a declaration of honor and turned against the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
The two sides camped and prepared to fight again tomorrow.
King Guishuang believed that with his own strength, even if he lost 100,000, he would severely damage the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
"Take a rest for an hour, and attack tonight!"
Huo An forced the various legions to fight again.
For extremely tired people, even an hour's rest can restore a lot of physical strength.
Mei Cai, a nobleman from the Dawan Kingdom, came to see Huo An worriedly: "King Guishuang claims to be the king of kings in the Hezhong area. He must be prepared for night attacks, and the success rate is too small."
"Follow orders."
"yes……"
Huo An forced the order, and Mei Cai had no choice but to order the 4,000 Dawan cavalry he brought to join this night attack.
At night, the Han army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the servant army of Dawan Kingdom touched the camp of the Guishuang Empire.
In the camp of the Guishuang Empire, a raging fire suddenly ignited, and the fire spread to all the camps of the Guishuang Empire!
"Get rid of this group of Guishuang people, and dare to make Lao Tzu surrender!"
King Wusun led the cavalry to make trouble, galloped and set fire to the camp of the Guishuang Empire, and the horseshoes broke through the tents, and the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom chopped down the patrolling Guishuang Empire guards!
The fire took advantage of the wind to engulf the surrounding tents!
"My lord, the Wusun people have betrayed us, they are setting fire everywhere!"
"These white-eyed wolves!"
The tired King Guishuang was awakened by the imperial guards, and was furious when he learned that King Wusun had rebelled.
King Wusun was still standing in the camp of the Guishuang Empire during the daytime battle with the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but at night, he turned his face when he said he would.
"The Protectorate of the Western Regions is here!"
When the Wusun cavalry set fire, the army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions arrived and cooperated with the Wusun cavalry to defeat the army of the Guishuang Empire. They chased and killed them all the way in the dark with the light of the fire.
The various tribes of the Guishuang Empire were defeated, and each leader led his own soldiers and horses to retreat and run around.
The Wusun cavalry joined in the pursuit and beheaded countless people.
In one night attack, 40,000 people from the Guishuang Empire were beheaded, more troops than the Guishuang Empire killed in battle during the day!
After a whole day, 70,000 people died in the Guishuang Empire, and morale fell to the bottom!
King Wusun came to Huo An: "The final general has lived up to the expectations of the guardian."
"The cavalrymen of the Wusun Kingdom who died will all be treated favorably."
Huo An is very satisfied with King Wusun's performance. King Wusun has feigned surrender more than once, and his acting skills are superb. This time he cheated King Guishuang.
Wusun State sacrificed thousands of cavalry for this.
The army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions defeated the main force of the Guishuang Empire and their morale recovered, but the morale of the army of the Guishuang Empire was low and they did not dare to fight again. Huo An took advantage of the situation and marched towards the royal city of the Dawan Kingdom day and night.
King Guishuang didn't have time to dispatch reinforcements, so he had to withdraw from the royal city of Dawan Kingdom and hand over the city to the Protectorate of the Western Regions to shrink its troops.
"King Guishuang has not dealt with the king of Dawan Kingdom supported by Wo Kuotai, how should we deal with it?"
"Kill him. Mei Cai, from today onwards, you are the new King of Dawan Kingdom."
Huo An did not hesitate to kill the puppet king supported by Wo Kuotai, and then supported Mei Cai, who was close to the Han Empire, as the sixth king of Dawan Kingdom.
Dawan Kingdom changed six kings in eleven years...
Although the position of the King of Dawan Kingdom is very dangerous, Mocai was still very excited, bowed his head and obediently, and ascended the throne of King of Dawan Kingdom.
All the kings of Dawan Kingdom believed that they could live forever.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions successively attacked more than ten cities controlled by the Guishuang Empire, and gradually expelled the forces of the Guishuang Empire from Dawan Kingdom, turning Dawan Kingdom into its own puppet state again.
"If King Wusun is captured alive by me again, I will cut him into pieces!"
King Guishuang was furious, and King Wusun was obviously an inconspicuous figure, and his own ability could not be regarded as a hero, but he caused the Guishuang Empire to overturn in Dawan Kingdom, losing 70,000 main forces.
"King, Wo Kuotai led the cavalry and invaded the hinterland of our empire!"
Just when King Guishuang was trying to organize troops to counterattack, he received even more urgent news. Wo Kuotai took advantage of the war between the two sides in Dawan Kingdom and directly attacked the hinterland of Guishuang Empire!
"Return to Master King City!"
King Guishuang completely ignored the entanglement with the Protectorate of the Western Regions, because the hinterland of the Guishuang Empire was countless times more important than the Dawan Kingdom with a population of one million.
...
"Tan Ma Chi's war eagle is really easy to use. After all, Tuo Lei did not forget the old days and handed over a team of Tan Ma Chi to me."
Wo Kuotai, Yelu Dashi, and Wang Baobao raided the Guishuang Empire and captured the twenty-three northern cities of the Guishuang Empire, which plunged the Guishuang Empire into an unprecedented crisis.
"Report, a foreigner from Dawan Kingdom sold information to us. The Protectorate of the Western Regions defeated King Guishuang, and King Guishuang has returned to the royal city!"
"Oh? The Protectorate of the Western Regions is really strong. We gave up the Dawan Kingdom, let the Protectorate of the Western Regions occupy the Dawan Kingdom, and we occupied the Guishuang Empire. Isn't this a win-win situation? I think Huo An will be very satisfied. "
Wo Kuotai looked to the south, and there were hundreds of cities in the Guishuang Empire.
